Okay, so, without looking at forum/reddit or meta guides yet, I have to question.....Are tanks just worse now? Both from where they were previously -and- in a general sense of how the game/combat works? Or maybe I should frame it more as, what's good about tanks now?
From my pov, I'm seeing from previous:
So far I'm seeing that tanks only really shine in being speed demons meant for empty state snaking, or being armor bricks with damage comparable to mech. Or, rarely, being fort busters now that you can get +45% attack with two supports. You need to research Art to unlock any of their main guns, so you by nature have two options for SA; MArt and tanks. But with the production cost tied to the equipment now, adding on comparable and rarely better damage on the SA side means adding in production cost double to triple that of a single art. Taking t2 art and just a medium Howi:
Don't even get me started on SPAs and TDs, it's not even comparable now.
Is there an upside to the new system that I'm missing, or....Am I really missing nothing here?
From my pov, I'm seeing from previous:
- Increased production cost
- Lower stats
- Longer research time, due to having to research more things
- Increased Xp costs
- Increased fuel usage
- Higher production costs by orders of magnitude
- Lower stats
- No tech upgrades ala +10% [stat]
- Requires Xp to function

Taking t2 art and just a medium Howi:
- Both have 30 SA
- Art is 4 production
- Tank is 12 assuming you go for the absolute lowest production value
