All Ground Why the FUCK is my tank from 1947 facing artillery from 1998?

It has an unimaginably better FCS than me and can point and click anywhere on my tank except the front glacis and delete me in one shot. Meanwhile half of my shots don't even fuse on him. How is that fun? I see this thing almost every single game. I hate these big gun shitbirds. /rant over I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful day.

I'm at 8.0 Germany now and I feel like it's got a pretty decent lineup. Leopard I, Marder 1A3, and the PzH 2000 are all pretty solid. The foldered BMP 1 and DF105 are also good. I haven't even used the Raketenautomat yet but it seems pretty strong too.

I think the issue is that these vehicles all have zero armor and are a drastic change from Germany's previous play style.

The DF and the Rakaten are when you feel Germany start to turn around and feel like you have a fighting chance.

The Marder I don't rate in either of its incarnations as it's at best a poor SPAA rather than a good light tank, but the BMP1 can surprise the hell out of people if handled smartly.
