What's the point of playing the Cent AX or the E50M when the Russian mediums outclass them in every aspect. You can't side scrape that much either either of these tanks, their soft stats on the guns are some of the worst compared to the other t10 mediums. They have paper armor and really have nothing going for them compared to other medium tanks.
This honestly applies to a ton of tanks in the game. You rarely see them played because other tanks just outclass them in every aspect of the game. Why is WG so slow/reluctant to show certain tanks love? They will literally let tanks sit in the shitter for years before making even slight changes to them. Meanwhile, new tanks are being added which just shit on these older tanks and Russian tanks in general always seem to be getting buffs for zero reason.
This is a rant, but seriously, what the fuck WG. I realize that not every tank can be OP, that's not what I'm asking for. I'm asking for every tank to be competitive at least in some aspect of the game. A tank shouldn't be suboptimal in every in game situation but sadly that is the case.
