I suffer of this less in mediums/lights
But seeing as i love to drive my is-7 and sometimes take my e-100 out for a trip , i did notice one thing.
There are multiple maps in which you , a heavy (and even a sort of hybrid medium/heavy like the is7) cannot drive into position and brawl without getting spotted and shot by arty/snipers before you reach said position.
In my opinion this is fundamentally broken and promotes a camping play style for heavy tanks , if you wish to not lose 1/3rd of your hp before doing what a heavy tank should be doing.
I propose either the much wished for removal of wheeled lights , but seeing as this most likely wont happen , there must be a rework on following maps :
-Highway (if an ebr goes an does ebr things)
-Karelia north spawn (which has been broken and unbalanced for a while , if you do not go and brawl on the hill side of the map
-Lakeville for the slower heavies (getting spotted and shot at 200m from base whilst driving into position is infuriating
-Live oaks for the south spawn
-Malinovka , although usually only if an ebr is borderline suicidal / heavy players are not really taking a safe route
-Mountain pass. And tbf all lights can do this , but again on this map you'll be punished hard for playing a slower heavy and imo it seems kind of broken
-Redshire north spawn (this one is the worst of all) i cannot tell you how often an ebr is perma spotting me forcing me to either fall back and completely abandon the heavy line or , sit and have a horrible game getting rained on by arty / hide and get no damage
-Westfield but mostly for mediums , to be honest. Before the introduction of wheeled lights i would usually go and take the brawly part of the medium line , to get an important piece of map control.
But nowadays i barely if ever bother to , as most of the time i'll be spotted long before i get there and get absolutely destroyed by mediums waiting for me to cross. Again , punishment for movement.
-Glacier , but not really because of ebr's. Although them taking the hill part of the map and shooting you from the side , as a medium brawling mid , is very hard to deal with. Plus crossing here to the heavy line is and has been a farm on heavies since forever. Punishment for movement. See the trend?
-Honorable mention : airfield! This map is just awful all around , remove it already
What do you think?
