I have another question.
Why are M10 and M36 US tank destroyers so different than what they were in real life?
Granted they are called Tank Destroyers by the US Army but they performed more like shoot and scoot mediums and not like the slow vehicles they are in game. The M10 in particular had the same performance as the M4 Sherman while the M36 has similar but slightly less performance(due to heavier turret and gun) as an M4 Sherman as well. Furthermore, the M36 does not even get its real Ford GAA engine and its gun depression when using the 90mm. It makes me apprehensive for the upcoming M18 Hellcat when you balance these two vehicles as such. The M10, M18 and M36 were literally fast, mobile vehicles which pack a big punch but sacrifice protection.
If you can implement the French tanks as something that would add some unique and different vehicles, make the US turreted TDs they way they were. They may be called Tank Destroyers but they are far from what this game defines tank destroyers as.
GeneralDirection: The differences exist primarily due to gameplay balance concerns.
It's possible we will review them in the future. The Chieftain had
a chance to meet with the design team recently and will be working
with them to ensure the American vehicles are as accurate as
possible while still retaining balance.
