When you look at the ground defense and hard/soft attack stats of the various tanks in HOI do you think they are reasonable?

I think that especially the values of medium tanks vs light tanks and also the values of heavy tanks vs medium and light tanks are somewhat flawed.

There should be a gretaer gap between each of them and maybe even between basic and improved and advanced tanks of the same weight class.

What do you think? What values would you suggest?
These questions are especially for those who have deeper knowledge of WWII tanks than me.

I know this isnt what you want, but IMO the main problem with tank divisisions is their excessive strategic mobility. They are way to fast.

Keep in mind you are comparing armored divisions not individual tanks.

While a Panther might soundly thrash a PzKw II individually... the over all difference for an armored division wouldn't be as dramatic (most divisions had a blend of tank types so it's not really as simple as the game makes it).

In summary I think the game is reasonable. But I haven't actually sat and looked at the numbers to compare them out (in my opinion other aspects of the game need a lot more attention first).
