I only can second this!!

The Tiger is almost immortal even from closest range with any gun, but even T-34 vs T-34 need ages and there dont seems to be a big different between a rear and a front hit.
Before one of the updates it was possible to kill the tracks of a tank from long range with a 8.8 HE, this also dont work anymore. Iam not sure, but wasnt the Ju87G Guns similar to the M8 gun and a real tank killer??

I also would like to have the possibility to load extra tracks instead of ammo maybe. At least many german tanks had such tracks onboard. This would help to get out of a bad situation. A repair time of 30sec after enabeling the extra tracks could be a nice solution.

And of course some west allied tanks(used in the desert) would be nice.

 Similar, but remember the Stuka would dive from nearly directly above.  As someone stated before, T-34 top armor was very thin compared to the front or sides of the tank (a situation not confined to the T-34).  Thus the smaller caliber AT round could easily penetrate.

Way it is now, your gonna bust your Sherman with the hedgerown unless you get lucky and it spawns on the top of a tree. Then you gots yourself a sniper sherman :)
