Late ww2 tanks vs post war 1960-1980 tanks

[BurgerKing]

Why does Gajin support such a Chaotic thing like that? I have a t32 American with no stability, no nothing, and somehow I get matched with Bradley's and other post war tank with anti tank rockets and Heat. WW2 tanks should not be matched against 1960s-1980s tanks.

br overcompression is too boring to fix, comrade.

they just need to seperate ww2 tanks from post war ones, it's as easy as it gets, different br's for different time period, no idea why they haven't done it so far, post war tanks sucks anyway.

ww2 tanks did fight postwar tanks IRL

T32 is a post war tank

They weren't used by the countries that produced them most of the time though, and it was never a remotely fair fight. This is an example of realism/historiccal accuracy getting in the way of gameplay. If we're going this far, why not make 75mm shermans fight tigers, panthers and king tigers? I'm sure the wehraboos would love it, so why not?

It's developement started in late WW2, and the prototypes arrived in 1946, the year after the war ended. That's a much smaller time/technology gap than between WW2 and the 1960's-1980's. So while you're not wrong, that doesn't mean it should fight 60's-80's tanks.

The problem is that some tanks were pitched or tested during WW2. The maus, t32, and is3 would all dominate if all they ever faced was the WW2 tanks in game. Another problem is Sweden and France had very few WW2 vehicles for obvious reasons. Basically if you create a WW2 and cold war line then expect your heavy tanks to jump to 20,000 sl repair cost or you put the super heavies in the cold war line for balance.

[calembredaine]

you lot should not slap the "WWII vs Cold War" etiquette so narrowly on op if you plan to be unironic.

the guy seems more concerned about the technological gap than a cut on the timeline, which is a tad more subtle.
like: "maus vs gun tanks like M103 is fine."
but "T32 vs gen 1 MBTs is questionable."

better discuss from that point.

Who is to judge what gap is appropriate?

We, the players. If something was made only a year after the end of WW2, and it's development started in it, then it's going to be much less technologically advanced than a cold war MBT. To me, this seems like common sense. I genuinely don't understand how people can look at tanks that are so close to WW2 tech they might as well be WW2 fighting cold war tanks from the 60's-80's and think "yeah this is fair". That's like watching someone with a musket fight someone with an AK-47 and thinking "this is a fair fight". Also, to specify what I mean by "we, the players", if we as a playerbase can see something is clearly OP (EBR, R3 T20, ringing a few bells?) when fighting the vehicles it's fighting, Gaijin should move it's br up, but they don't, because they don't care about us. The other way around, if we see a vehicle clearly suffering Gaijin should move it down. Once again, they don't, because they don't care. They would care if enough people tell them to fix the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game, the M48A2 C and soundmod incidents proved this, enough backlash can make them change their decisions. This won't work for most issues because half the playerbase wants it fixed while the other half is actively exploiting it and thus don't want it fixed. Sorry for ranting, I wasn't planning on typing this much when I started, but today has been a bad day and I had to vent my anger somewhere, and since my "family" won't let me vent it in their house, the internet is the only place I can do it

Gajin makes alot of money selling premium vehicles
Its all perfectly balanced, like milking cows but with people
