v.0.6.3.7 update - preliminary discussion

Several players I know don't play the game to grind through the trees to get to the tier 9 medium or tier 10 heavy. They play different tanks they like. One guy told me when he started playing that he wanted a StuG. That was it. They're not interested in having the "best" tank no matter what tank that is.
There's a very simple sollution for letting lower tier tanks into clan wars and giving them a fighting chance. Just make the maximum amount of troops you can move to and have garrisoned in a province point based. For example, and mind you this is just an example, say a tank is worth one point per tier it has, and you're allowed to move fifty points when you attack a province. Then you can either send five IS-7 or you can send five tier 9 tanks and a tier 5, and so on. Obviously the amount of points could be a different number than the one I just pulled out of my behind but I think you get the picture.
On a related note the best scout tanks are below tier 5.
