The Black Forest team suffers from a similar problem: they went with a heavy tank list, and they ended up sacrificing a lot of mobility and flexibility as a result. A more balanced mix of AFVs would have probably been a more challenging opponent. If we're lucky, we'll see all of the weaknesses of heavy German armor exploited in the final episode.
Except this isn't a game about strategic territory.. If the enemy is light, you can convoy your flag tank ..

Heck, we were wondering why they didn't just make the Maus the flag tank!
