I have a suggestion for WG about how to balance tanks

JiangZemin1926, on Nov 13 2018 - 16:33, said: As you all know, we have a lot of unbalanced tanks in game. But the way WG do balance looks stupid and even bring more unbalanced tanks. What's the problem? The current method of balance is focused on two steps: 1) listen to player's response. 2) change a few parameters to see how they affect the performance of the tank. Unfortunately, this way of doing balance always introduce more unbalanced tanks, either to OP or to weak.

I suggest WG to collect information about the in-game behavior of tanks in each class or probably each specific type of tanks. (for example: TDs with or without good armors, fast or slow). Then set up a model of a typical combat behavior for each type. Like assault though a certain route, shot at enemy at some position on the map. Then WG may substitute different Tanks into this model to see their performances. This method could significantly balance those tanks within the same type. Currently IS-7, IS-4, obj 277 and WZ-111-5A could be rebalanced in this way.
