Subject: DS2 Balance and stuff.
I can't see why Hi tech's need an advantage such as this more shots or
move-shoot-move. Since i'll agree a LoTech Tank force vs. Hitech Tank
force will virtually always go to the LoTechs. A Lo v Hi
Army/Corp/whatever
will go to the general with the better tactics.
The reason being Lotech is extremly forgiving of mistakes. (Ooops i've
lost a tank platoon, oh well got another 3 to get the objective) Hi tech
can't suffer losses like that.
But Hitech has the firepower increase. And i dont mean bigger guns. A
High tech HKP/4 has more firepower than a loTech HKP/4. Because
the high tech is on a better chassis. It will tend to be firing at
closer
range, at side or rear armour, etc.
High tech is also far more dependant on being combined arms. It can't
afford to use tanks to hold objectives. It's tanks can't fire fast
enough to
wax a superior number of enemy tanks, so it has to call in its planes
and
arty.
I would also like to see the stats for hte two forces that started this
discussion Since, from what i could tell, they were rather multi-purpose
toys.
Just my 2 pence
