Allowing tier 5 lights yet only tier 6 heavies? I foresee an all Chaffee team with gold rounds.

No more one of each tank type?

I too can also see the dedicated tier 5 lights wiping the floor with other teams. They are end tier vehicles for a reason. Maybe only allow the AMX 12t for tier 5 lights or the one of each type rule should limit them.

please limit the use of KV-1S, because currently medium tier companies between is a plague of these tanks.

A Chaffee team will get rocked by a team of VK2801's using 10,5 HE.  Same with KV-1S's.  I personally forsee 1 T-50-2 to scout, 2 VK2801's to do the heavy lifting, and a Chaffee and M18 to support.

Probably

More participation. This translates into more matches played and tougher competition. Both of which warrant a larger prize pool.

They really need to remove this map from the assault line up.  It's stupidly easy for the defenders to win.  The only way for them to lose is to be total noobs.  That said I've seen it happen. >=(

Believe it or not HP and alpha are usually more important in a 5v5 setting than the all around utility the lights bring. With the high point limit I could see 2 light tanks being effective, possibly 3 maximum. Going any less than 27 tier points is going to be a serious detriment to your team. The guns on the E8,3601,KV-1s,M6, etc will be preferred by the winning teams.

Prepare to be surprised Peter
