Thoughts on BF1942 PORTAL from a 1942 Veteran (and how to make it better)

I played about 5 hours of 1942 Portal and this is what I think:
1942 was balanced fairly well. 1942 PORTAL is not. It's kind of a shell of 1942 (might be improved upon!)

In 1942 there were 2 types of tanks - "Heavy" and "Medium"
Tiger/M10 and PzIV/Sherman. Heavy is tougher and medium is lighter but faster.
For example in the OG 1942 if firing from the pziv to sherman you kill it: 1 shot in the back, 2-3 in the side and 3-4 in the front. From a tiger you kill Sherman 1 -back, 1 - side, 2-3 front (same with m10 to the pziv and such). And on the other hand, you can't 1 shot kill a Tiger with sherman (if not using glitches), you need at least 2 in the back (tiger catches fire and then blows up), 2-3 in the side and up to 10! in the front, same with m10 (it is slightly weaker)
Simple, but amazingly fair system. And if you use it right you'll come out on top.
Imagine now I'm playing the new fancy 1942 Portal in 2042, I've got in a flanking position with my Tiger and I see a sherman going in front of me (doesn't see me), then he stops and starts shooting in my allies in front of him. I think to myself: "Gotcha!" and fire a round to his side (it should have killed him instaly with the right shot) or at least left him barely alive. Instead, he just shrugs it off and turns to me... I think: "Now you're mine for sure" and fire the 2nd shot. NOTHING HAPPENS. Well, yeah, I've got a hit indicator, he shots at me. Anyway, the * blew up only after the 5nd shot and left me like with 15 hp. What kind of a joke is that? I haven't played m10 yet, but i think it's the same. So I suspect all tanks have the same stats.

Next issue. No healing options and no ammo options.
There is no health regen in og 1942 and there's no health regen in 1942 Portal, BUT...In 1942 there were health stations and ammo stations ALL OVER THE MAP. So the only options are teammates with health and ammo packages... And we all know how it usually goes. Well... also you can pick up a different gun from the ground, yes, but cannot replenish health without your teammates.

Weapons. I understand that in the recent titles every side can use every weapon, but it wasn't the case in the OG 1942. Currently, the mode is DOMINATED by the STG44. BAR is awful (primarily because of its ironside (in the og game it was high damage, but hard to aim gun), Mp40 and Thompson is pure trash (they were the OP weapons in og game), but here... Only VERY close combat and only hipfire. I understand that it is for balancing reasons, but almost nobody plays medics because of that.

M1 Garand. In the OG game, it only could be used in the pacific maps... I am happy that they added it to the usual maps in Portal, but germans need a semi-auto for the engineer too. And you need to lock the weapons by team like it was in 1942. (maybe that's why they didn't lock it).

Planes. Oh my lord... Why you do THIS to the planes...
HORRIBLE controls, you cannot go up or down when looking back, bombs do NO SPLASH DAMAGE. In the OG game you needed 2-3 bombs near a tank to blow it up, or 1 directly at it. B17 is just USELESS. First, it releases ALL THE BOMBS at once (in 1942 you press once per bomb). So far I just managed to kill a couple of infantry with bombs, but no tanks, I'm not even sure that you can hurt a tank with a bomb... And I was a good pilot in 1942, killing loads of tanks on El Alamein and LOADS of infantry with B17. No, not killing... ANNIHILATING. Also... They added STUKA as a balance to b17. He-he. Yes, it was this way in the OG 1942, but only because JU-88 was a map-specific plane (Battle of Britain). And the map was added only in later patches. Don't the current devs know that? For christ's sake, you have the model from BF5. Add it to the germans, please! They suffered on this map from 2002.
On the positive side: the maps. WELL DONE!
They are simply amazing and true to 1942 (apart from some minute details).
The flow is kinda wonky, but it's just because people haven't learned how to play them properly. And generally, I'm having reasonable fun, apart from the issues described above... That's all that I can think of right now...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE work on the tank/plane/weapon balancing, make it closer to the OG game and will be 10/10, so far it's 5.5/10. Thank you. 
P.S
Tally Hoooo! Enemy submarine Spotted! Request Naval support! (El Alamein)
