Currently there are only 3 "tiers 4 tanks" : sky fortress, inferno and Titan.
These 3 tanks require some upgrades.
Comparing to tiers 3 where there is also 5 tanks: hunter, demon, frost, sky tanks and earth robot. We can see a really big difference of power between tiers 4 and 3.
The purpose of Titan was to be the ultimate end tank then why not decrease power of inferno and sky fortress to make them tiers 3 tanks?
The end game would turn on the same variety than mid game and I am sure that it would increase the fun.
Currently the first one to get tiers 4 tanks put a pressure on opponent who save for another tanks. Some get enough for frost but most wait to get better. The armor requirement makes an artificial gaps betweens these tanks. It was the answer to the insta-usual imba tech: "save for inferno" when in previous version, requirement did not exist.
My suggestion, is to reduce inferno and sky fortress power, reduce a bit their price and remove their requirement. If we keep the artificial gaps between tiers 3 and 4, the long games will always turn on titan + sky +inf.
Making all tanks behalve Titan having a price lower than 14k (for exemple) would increase variety and make the end being a: sky vs inf vs demon vs forst vs hunter vs earth, sky fort. People would focus more on skills, item than on saving their money for bigger tank.
Observation in normal mode:
1-10 min: tiers 1 tanks: no tanks bigger than shredder
10-17: tiers 2 tanks: rarely reach more than goblin
17-30: tiers 3 tanks appears, until frost
30-...: tiers 4: sky fort or inferno
40-... maybe Titan.
As you can see, second part of the game lack of tanks. I vote for a big variety of tanks around the same price(tiers3) but with different strat than a good saving to get the last tank. End games of Btanks should rely on better skills, teamplay, build than better saving/predication :p
