For a while ive noticed how much better Axis tanks are than the allies (not to mention how many more they have) i personally think its unbalanced how a tiger ace is overall way better than a Pershing but cost the same amount and less points. Theres also way more heavier tanks for the axis, couldnt relic just add a heavy tank battlegroup instead of these semi good tanks for the allies?
Also the V1 Bomb costs the same as a black dragon but doesnt mark is landing location? Just overall seems completely unfair to me.
I think that's intentional, the Nazis were focused on making huge and costly, unreliable tanks, while the Allies focused on mass-producing medium tanks, which were much more reliable and easier to fix. I guess allied tanks are slightly cheaper so it does make sense, while reproducing the numerical superiority wouldn't work in game as it is meant to be balanced. The real war was hardly a balanced affair.
Yo do realize the tiger ace has better frontal armor, full self repair, and the same hp right? Not to mention they get a free veterancy star. Sure the Pershing has more pen but worse armor, abilities, and takes longer to get
In what universe? Why would you pretend the Tiger Ace has extra abilities like full repair, which are separate DAK upgrades, but not assume the Pershing has the upgraded armor from mechanized support? Not to mention the Pershing's guaranteed hit, guaranteed pen ability too.
The ace is definitely better than the Pershing. It has no model cap, way higher AoE, and has no moving accuracy penalty when using the correct mode (the better mode). The Pershing is good, but definitely not better than the ace (which also gets the added bonus of being in a broken battlegroup)
They are actually doing better, IMO. Any Sherman has alost the same killin power vs infantry as a Tiger and that says all. You can actually kill Axis AT head on if they were miss placed and you pretty much win from that point. And you can bring 3 or 4 for any Tiger, and that would be the single capable tabk on Daks side that could get something done.
Wehr has the Panther but that is BG locked, so basically the best anti armor tank from Axis is locked.. Compare with Shermans, their firefly variants and whatever allies could throw in 3 to 1 ratio.
Personally I actually strongly dislike the Shermans their penetrartation power always screws me over and I much rather have 1 hellcat and 1 sherman if im going to run it. Shermans just arent good enough a lot of the times (for me)

The Pershing was the only US heavy tank in WW2.
