Yeah, I read your posts about it on the 3rtr board. I do understand totaly, that is one of the reasons I hesitate to recomend the game to everyone since not everyone will like it. I, personaly, have no problem with the spawn limits at all. The Matty and the Char were behemoths and seeing 5-10 of them spawn somewhere was a bit much for the very lightly armored PZ's to combat.
Luckly for me I did not get into the games for the tanks. I enjoy many parts of it and the tanks are just one part. I often enjoy the infantry aspect the most and that is VERY VERY GREATLY IMENSELY IMPROVED with 1.6 so I am happy. I do like all the units realy so it is no big deal to me. I do see your point for sure though. If I loved the heavy tanks like you do and they were this limited I would not be happy either.
Oh, and I am also not one who is a big history buff or anything. I remember when I was a kid one of my best friends was and we would do all the army play and all that. I never had a "love affair" for WWII, just a passing interest and I thought the planes were cool. That is why I have no intrest in the historical accuracy, I think it is neat they are trying for some level of historicaly acurate modeling but could care less if they maintain a "true" timeline.
