I understand that the devs are parts are of the community wants the vehicles to be balanced, which is fair. But different tanks are supposed to be different. Tanks should have performance based on the historical counter part, this is what makes tank games interesting, that each tank has unique handling and traits.
This is very noticeable in the new arty vehicles, each faction's arty vehicles are basically all identical but with different skins. Why?? It doesn't make sense that a Churchill AVRE has similar performance to Sherman 105, it makes even less that either of them has an AP shell that deals massive damage? Diff faction are supposed to play different, it would be really cool if the brits gets a short range bunker buster, american get a easily reposition-able arty, germans gets a medium range seige cannon etc
As an aside, Sherman 105's weapon name is OQF 57mm. Come on guys
