Panzer IV needs more horse power or mule power

man I try 1st and 2nd gear and the most aI can pump out of the Panzer is %mph in a slightly inclined hill . Hell what did the Germs put in those vehicles low octane cheap fuel , I think not . Anyways just to let the crew know to look upon it since I've been having a difficult time getting around it

I think you might be surprised what grade of hill you are trying to pull there. You can't run that thing like a billy goat.

This will mean that narrow passes between mountains may be the only route the vehicles might take. Yes, they would be vulnerable there. But then isn't that the way it should be?

I'm waiting until the tankers get real organized. They show up as dots on the ground, but are invisible to radar, so why not feint an attack on an airstrip, then go after resources? Do you think that we will be able to rely soley on radar anymore? We are gonna need low recon in the air all the  time. While it takes time to get the pieces into postion, it will be devastating once they are.

Will the changes lead to lightning resets? If tonight is any indication, I don't see how. We'll see how it goes from here on, but for now, this is a totally new game.

Glasses, you ever take a look at what the power:weight ratio was on a Pz. IV?  It ain't pretty!

Well although its slow going I think HTC has been fair and true with the speeds, 40kmph on a road and 20kmph across country for a Panzer IVD.  We are getting the road speeds when traveling across flat terrain (like an unimproved raod?).

I wouldnt mind if they upped the speeds of the tank and halftrack by 5mph or so though, every little bit helps and I agree it takes forever to reach somewhere, could be an hour in a tank. I think we are going to see Vehicles more as an a defensive weapon then offensive since it takes so long to reach the objective.
