I have found that the tanks from china are a lot like old british sports cars.....they can be great but you always end up having to work on them. This is all fine and good but in a normal NEAD battle day we have 10-15 battles, I would never expect a non tamiya tank to work every battle.....the taniya's will fight all day and all night without brakingonce.
Really....because I have a HL Panzer 3 with an SLU that I've battled hard for three years without any maintainence and I beat the hell, just ask any Can-Am members.

I guess what I am trying to say is if there are no tamiya's fighting in your club, you are fine. The minute a someone with a tamiya panther or m26 shows up that knows how to use it, you are toast..
Sure if the owner of a Tamiya know how to use the fan shot, slope defence and the 45 degree defence, then of course they should win.
But if used in a fair fight then there is no difference.
At the last Can-Am Battleday ( which Freakydude was apart of by the way ) there were several Tamiyas involved and there was clear cut winner between the different makes, just who is controlling them.
