Tanks Proposal
The Chieftain and Challenger 1 line are pretty clearly inferior to the tanks they're supposed to be balanced against. We've discussed selective price and availability changes but they don't really make commonwealth noticeably better and have the potential to make pricing awkward for other similarly priced tanks.
There however is a very simple, authentic and balanced solution; Give the Chieftain and Challenger 1 lines a global buff of +1 RPM. Outlined below is a more detailed proposal for the individual tanks:
Challenger 1 Mk3 ROF 8>9 price unchanged
Challenger 1 Mk2 Rof 7>8 price unchanged
Challenger 1 Mk1 ROF 7>8 price unchanged
Chieftain Mark 11 ROF 7>8 availability reduced to 8/6 per card price unchanged
Chieftain Mark 10 ROF 7>8 range on main gun increased 2100>2275
Chieftain Mark 5 ROF 7>8 price increased from $45 to $50
Chieftain Mark 3 ROF 7>8 price increased from $35 to $40
In addition the Leopard C2 Mexas is overly efficient for its cost and Runs the T72BI very close indeed in max range gun duels. Price increase from $75-$80
Its Worth noting here that the Chimera shares the same gun as the Chally 1 Mk2 and presumably therefore the same loading process.
I suggest therefore increasing the ROF from 6>8 and possibly nerfing the price to 125, though i feel 120 points is still a fair price based on its raw stats. This change would also make it somewhat possible for Canada to into something vaguely resembling a heavy tank!
In my opinion the above changes would restore some flavor and balance to the equation and would move commonwealth closer to Eastern Block and Euro corps levels of relative quality and competitiveness in some areas, which is where it really ought to be.
