M1's should be allowed to play XP

[Zoroxxn 8]

Why is XP only for M2's and M3's? I played a 1v1 Duel XP match with someone and it was a lot of fun, even though I lost 8-11 and our XP combo's were only M1. The damage difference between M1 and M2 Rail, and armor difference between Hornet M1 and M2 aren't that much.

I could've asked this in Q&A, but I thought that this was worth its own topic so that staff might read it and consider allowing M1's to enjoy XP too. 

Although I do have a question; Is it possible to play XP if your Rail and Hornet are different modifications? Like if your Rail is M2 but Hornet is M3?

Didn't you post this before?

 

Anyway, the reason M1 isn't allowed because the difference in stats makes it too weak compared to M3. A tank in an XP battle is supposed to die from 3 Rail shots when it has DA. Against Rail M1 it will die from 4. Also there is a massive disadvantage when it comes to shots through multiple tanks, since M1's % of damage that does through is really low. Other parameters like turret rotation speed, reload and impact force may not be as significant, but they do add up to quite a big disadvantage.

I've thought about the M1 vs M3 problem a little, but you can't get M3 Hornet until and Rail M3 isn't until and if you really want to play XP, your Hornet/Rail will definitely be at least M2 by

this has been suggested before 

then that xp format should only allow m1 & m0 cuz m1 vs m3 is not good
