RE: Sherman v Pz IV, is there a rating problem?
I know this conversation stems from the one over on CSW.
So I'll cross-post from there:
Interesting conversations for sure! But remember this is a platoon level game, not ASL or GMTs Panzer games with individual tanks. I also feel it would be hard to go back and change every game in the series from 1999, to fix a few vehicle ratings. I do remember when Battle of the Bulge was coming out, with the first American Sherman tanks and thinking why weren't the defensive armor values a 4 instead of a 3. Also this conversation came up before. One thing however, if they were raised to a 4 value, it would really be even harder on the Japanese in the Pacific battles, which was probably right but for gaming, maybe too strong to overcome. But I have always enjoyed these debates.
I guess if you want stronger defense rated Sherman tanks, there is always the Jumbo Shermans for now. Personally I don't feel AP should go back and change all the ratings on a platoon level games however.
