Haven't read all the pages but here is an idea:
- Ram always takes the ramming tank down to very low health.
- If the tank is on low health and wants to use a last ditch effort for damage/disable, then it can ram and there is a chance that the ramming tank will live (remaining on very low health).

This means the player has to ram at the right time, panzers watch out for tanks 'backed into a corner' simulating it as an act of desperation, and if the ram is timed right and pulled off it has a chance of saving the tank (if the panzer is destroyed/disabled (and alone), the Soviet tank can be repaired).

To be clear, when a high health tank rams it goes to 5% for example.
When a low health tank rams, there is a chance it will stay on ~5% instead of getting destroyed which is what would have happened if it allowed itself to get shot again. The bad chance of this move is the ramming tank simply loses its remaining health.

The rammer has to time the ability, weighing the benefits. The German player has to make sure low health tanks don't get too close and hit tanks in general in co-ordinated heavy-hitting ways. If you think the German player needs a benefit out of this, it is the fact that the ability is a part of the Soviet unit which is included in its balance considerations (not otherwise a great tank).

There's another way to get an idea of who you are against but not quite as accurate. In the in-game player list (shift ~) click on the Steam icon and it takes you to their wins/losses with each faction.

Throw the whole idea out because one interpretation of it has a problem.

Sounds fun and it would be worth keeping units at range. There would have to be balance considerations for close-range troops (PPSh, MP40)--maybe trying to melee them would be too risky because they keep using their guns.

It would probably be too simple if there were predictable outcomes or based on RNG (simple as in win or lose not decided by the player once it's underway, like a ram). There would probably have to be something for the player to watch and react to (micromanage) to get the edge in combat. Otherwise it would become annoying.

Open match chat and see if it gets stuck on one player. That seems to be what hangs it up for me.
There should probably be a timeout (or a shorter one) if people can't connect to each other.

Have the same bug as Chuck Norris very occasionally.

Hang on, is that a good sign?
