Compare the stats of Easy 8 to T34/85. It will amaze you. EZ8 costs more, but has a gun that performs much worse vs tanks (less penetration, much slower reload) and only slightly better vs infantry in terms of AOE although I think the reload difference still puts the T34/85 on top. It has somewhat more armor(which hardly matters because at 215 nearly every german weapon will still penetrate, might bounce 1-2 out of 10 times) but considerably less HP (800vs640). T34/85 is light-years ahead of EZ8, they fill basically the same role. And when you pit a Panther vs EZ8 forget about it. Panther only costs 110MP/35FU more but DOMINATES ez 8 all day. People say 2x easy 8s takes on a panther. Great so I need to invest somewhere around 760MP/280FU to engage at 490/175 unit?

EZ8 needs buffs. Atleast 800 HP and make gun reload 5.0-5.5 instead of 6.0-6.6. I could see a cost decrease but then whats the point? It would barely be any different from stock Sherman. No one cares about 215 armor vs German universal Uber-penetration.


And still, this patch, T34/85 keeps disapointing me while EZ8 never did that.

The majority play Axis because the bad guys are cool, that's it. There's a reason people like Darth Vader, or the Imprerium, or the Daleks. Evil is cool.


relevant.

I'm pretty sure its less to do with agreeing with "evil", and literally aesthetics and performance.
