US Tech Tree Changes And Improvements

The T29/T30 design is relatively slab-sided. The IS-7 is actually not that heavily armored either, but because it's layout is more advanced when you hit it from almost any angle you're hitting a pretty drastic slope. This is why I've been pushing for the M103 since way back in the RCBT. Comparing raw numbers will not balance the game. Also the fact that I have reason to believe Conqueror will be the pinnacle of the UK tree makes the M103's absence all the more confusing.
