There's just nothing I hate more than setting up a good flank only to have the tank I'm flanking pivot during opfire and blow the hell out of me.

When you're going against a bigger tank, speed and maneuverability are often your only chance.

Tanks without turrets and things like archers have big penalties in reacting to targets not ahead of them. They are less likely to spot the threat and if they do less likely to hit it.

The Cobra scenario (single player) might be out of balance after this patch. I bring this up just to be maybe looked at.

Someone might be having an insane amount of trouble defeating this one :oops:

I have no problem w/ the heavy tanks being real beastresses. But maybe a handful more tanks for the goodguys are in order to deal w/ im :oops:

Cobra is the hardest scenario in that campaign, good thing i beat it back when tiger where weak :), the funny thing about that mission is when you do actually feel it shifting in your favor you will win it easy and get all the achievements. There are a couple threads on how to win that mission, go take a look

I'm not going to press the easy button :x And I'll beat the scen eventually as it is w/o any walkthrough thank you very much :x

I was just saying maybe it should be looked at for playbalance that's all :D The campaign should progess smoothly, and it has, but this is like running into a brick wall.

I have only needed the easy button once so far and that was the last mission of the normandy campaign with the poles on the hill. Can't get close to winning that on normal settings no matter what I do.
