Ram is meh, it's currently last ditch ability only, Relic wanted to achieve that and they succeeded. It's basically a 100 fuel AT nade.

Unless you ram relatively near the Allied base you will never repair your tank before it's destroyed. For something that basically kamikazes your tank the ability is extremely underwhelming. There is no tactical depth to ram, no reason to use it if your tank is near full health (unless a Panther overstretches and you catch it from behind and you have something to follow up on the attack etc. etc.).

Similarly, there is no reason to NOT use it if your tank is one shot away from dying and is within ramming range of Axis heavies. But the awkward rotation / min range issues limit its window of use even then.

Meanwhile German armour gets blitzkrieg and doctrinal smoke and target weak point (Stug) and bunker busting barrage.

What do Soviet tanks get? Ram and secure mode. And the SUs get tracking, which has been nerfed to the point it is insulting when you compare it to Target Weak Point.

Since the next patch is bugs only patch i'm inclined to just shelve the game untill some sort of balance patch comes out. If people just left en masse it may send relic a message.But.....

the problem with this community is too many people just persevere, probably because bad coh is better than no coh.

The balance issues i have are mainly USF vs OST and certain map issues.
