Since when was Men of war called a simulation ? Or even trying to be "realistic" ? It has few calculations thrown in here and there, fo the armor, angle and shells. But its far from realism. It makes the combat more complex which is a good thing and I like the game. But as said I would not make the mistake to see the game as realistic. And like Fangdragon said. Its more or less for the balance. You do know that no other unit could hold up to a Tiger or Panther in the field when it comes to armor. Achiles ? Archer ? Firefly ? Letz be serious here. The gun is powerfull but that was it. once hit from the Tiger or Panther and they are usualy out of action. The centurion is here a great unit. Same for the Comet. Though the centurion is maybe a bit to cheap for a unit that has no trouble to beat panthers and tigers.
