Once the AI hull gunner is toned down a bit tanks will be on servers again.
I think combined arms is integral. Infantry on these enclosed maps can certainly mush tanks with team work. But most of all tanks have the desired effect in RO2... cause tank fear, suppression and general act as a mobile breakthrough point.... if supported by infantry properly.
I would like our half tracks to be able to tow and deploy AT guns though.
+1 Teamwork is the answer to defeating tanks on CA maps, the veteran RO guys know this, but some of the new players just don't bother with teamwork of any kind, let alone tank support, and simple moan when they get owned by the aimbot in the hull gun.
Instead of moaning they should be trying to flank the tank to destroy it.
Keep the AI loader, but remove the other bots altogether.
As Rommel says the tank armour is as historically correct as TWI could make it, but the weaker T34 armour should be balanced out by giving the Allies more reinforcements.
