certain classes to certain places to be productive. You want it or
not, you have to take your M6/T150/ARL44 for a brawl with Defender,
and lets be honest, you don't stand a chance in this fight. Yes,
you have your allies but you have to support them, with lack of
hardcover (rocks, rubble disappeared from maps), you have to expose
your tank and hope that that higher tier wont be looking at you.
Inter-tier gap rises dramatically between tiers 7 and 8,
while tier 8 can fight tier 9 effectively, tier 7 is just free
hp's. Moment ago i took my Comet for a spin, i had an encounter
with two tier 5 tanks (t34 and crusader), i won but i've lost a
fair amount of HP's. Now take a look at a similar brawl between a
t54 mod 1 and any two tier 6 meds. They will struggle to penetrate
him, i doubt that t54 mod 1 would lose more then 20% of his
hitpoints. VK 100.01 vs any tier 6 heavy? Same story but it is
basically immune to lower tier tanks. WG tried to balance tier 8
upwards and forgot about the fact that those tanks face tier 6 and
7. eekeeboo: That's a fact and why map balancing takes so long and is so
carefully considered and no sweeping changes made without very
careful consideration. I'm not saying you will never
fight a defender in your tier 6, but before you get to that stage
and that engagement, you should have had a fair few more
engagements before that event. Either moving to another part of the
map etc. You going head to head with a tier 8 on full hp should not
be something you seek, especially not alone. And that's the point
of it in that you have a gap between tier 6 and 8 yes, but you have
a lot of things you can affect in a battle and you're not going to
be swamped by tier 8's as the lone tier 6 unable to do
anything. In this case it's not quite accurate about
balancing tier 8 upwards, but what happens when you buff the tier
6? You then have to buff all the tanks they can meet and so on and
so forth. This is why it's important to balance in other ways and
always make sure you can see opponents you can fight effectively
and why you will see tanks of the same tier on the enemy team at
the same time.
