Reddit mentions of Great Book of Tanks: The World's Most Important Tanks from World War I to the Present Day

Matimio needs to learn some history about the tanks in WW1.

This book perhaps:

There are many others.

The WW1 ones were quite ineffective, and could only make a substantial difference if used in coordination and with fairly large numbers of tanks and infantry. Something the Germans quickly understood for their future development of the Blitzkrieg doctrine.

The germans werent afraid of them after the initial experience, their drawbacks were numerous and their advantages could be counted on one hand. Well placed artillery and grenades took them out fast.

Matimio is like ''omg you guys the first tanks drove fear into the enemy yea they should feel and be OP because tanks!!''.

Well no, that's not how it works.

The logic of "its supposed to be powerful because its a tank" is ridiculous when you talk about a game environment that intricately tries to balance infantry weapons, but then, according to Matimio's logic suddenly turns a blind eye to the vehicles in order to make them powerful and overpowered and whatnot ''because they are tanks''.

But tanks should be balanced, not overpowered in that sense. I hope DICE put enough counters on the map in the form of bombers or heavy artillery -not the stationary always-spawned-in-the-same-place AT guns that will be useless against competent tankers- or something to take camping tanks out, as infantry cant close the gap and the AT rifles are not damaging enough on large distances.
