Tank Destroyer Class

[glacial forum]

Hello, I suggest making a Tank Destroyer class. Have it cost 300 fuel instead of the 600 for a heavy. Make it be capable of penning a heavy but give it paper thin armor that even a recon tank can pen. It’s a glass cannon. Make sure it has no machine guns whatsoever. This thing exists for killing heavy tanks for cheap and shooting the occasional HE round 🙂 Candidates historically are the American Hellcat, the German Marders etc

Me and guys in my unit have discussed this many things like Stug 3 or 4 and the American hellcat and Russian ISU 152

Sturmtiger. That is all.

The tank system already requires a serious rework, adding another tank class doesnt help much

[calm compass]

Sir that isnt a blasted tank destroyer, that's a frigging BUILDING KILLER

How so?

The current armor systems and values are extremely rudimentary and arent realistic. Even games like Enlisted, and some roblox games have better armor systems than HLL.

I am by no means an armor or tank expert in this game, so there are probably people who can explain it better. Search up tank/armor rework suggestions here and you will see why people want it changed.

Plus other changes like better tank maneuverability over terrain, working commander hatches, etc could make for better tank gameplay.

Perhaps if the armor system was a bit better, and the current tank classes changed, then super heavy tanks or tank destroyers could work.

Tanks used to be even worse and more bugged. I think there is something fundementally wrong with the underling tank code. BM scripted a ton of things in the game for tanks like turret ring and gun damage but it just never worked properly. What we have is a simplifed system than resolved a ton of issues.

Its not for a lack of will but the game is just kinda broken and you have to accept it to a degree. We have been asking tank rework for 4 years at this point and I don't even blame T17 for tanks being the way they are.

also lets be honest no one plays tanks because its the only role in game with consequence for death and requires communication. It only appeals to a small part of the player base.

this would signifigantly help the tank economy by adding a glass cannon as a catchup mechanic. If a cheap tank can reliably kill heavies then heavies provide an actual risk in their cost

I really think this would be a balanced way to nerf heavy tanks and buff medium and lights

I totally agree, they should add the Jagdtiger.

Why should they add a super heavy tank hunter into the game when all you are doing is to shoot at sherman tanks? Better r put a stug III / stug IV, Hetzer or jagdpanzer IV into the game. Brits have a Firefly already and USA can get an m18 hellcat. Soviets have plenty of assault guns, too, from su 76 over su85 up to ISU variants

With the current AT meta good luck getting even close to a heavy in that ! Or even getting out of spawn 😄

[atomic linden]

enlisted has better tank system since it was made by the same company that made war thunder fyi

[spice yoke]

Lets fix the heavy tank meta by adding a even heavier tank
