But to me, GV's are just drive point click shoot boom, really the same dynamic in every tank. Would much rather we stopped adding new GV's to the game and focused all attention on new aircraft instead...
I am happy at least for the GV crowd, it seems like they can determine a discernible difference in this new GV than all the others, and that is a good thing for the ground war I suppose.
There's a lot more than just point, click, boom. If you spend a lot of time on the ground tank fighting you'll come to recognize this. Sure there are some occasions where people just spawn in and start firing at the enemy, who are spawning in 1200 yards away and firing back, all without ever even starting their motors, but that's just one aspect of the tank game. There's definitely an element of experience in skill, both in aiming, maneuvering, situational awareness, timing, etc. which separates good tank veterans from tank newbies. A good tank veteran simply cleans up inexperienced tank drivers, however good at "pointing and clicking" they might otherwise be.
The T34/85 will certainly affect the ground game enormously. It basically changes everything, the same way the Sherman Firefly changed everything. I sort of hope the T34/85 gets perked a lot higher than the Sherman, or else I fear we'll see people upping nothing but T34/85s, just as we now have some people who go to tank battles and won't up anything but a Sherman.
For that matter, I think the perk price of the Sherman should be raised by about 10 points above what it is now. It's too low now for the devastating effect of its gun, and the ability of its armor against Panzers and T34s at ranges greater than 1000-1200 yards. There's something wrong with the perk price of a vehicle when you see people upping them one after the other, and refusing to up something else for the entire duration of a tank brawl.
