And 4 piats almost solo knocked out a Elephant which couldn't even escape to his mobility and PIATs range

I am not convinced that the title of the replay actually corresponds with the content of the replay.

4 PIATs already vaporise Elefants in the live version. It takes 18 hits, regardless of penetration or not to kill any heavy tank due to the insane deflection damage. Thus, that Elefant would have vapourized way earlier with live version PIATs than the PIATs you tried.

4 PIATs can deal up to 400 damage, if all of them penetrate. The reason why Hector's Elefant evaporated so quickly is because it was facing its rear on the PIATs; bad move.

Live version PIAT range: 45
WBP PIAT range: 30

Now that's what the theory says.

Practice says I did some significant messing with damage values to fix veterancy issues. I did a recheck, and I couldn't find anything that indicates a bug. However, do keep your eyes open, because there might be one.

You didn´t saw that teller bug when centaur pushed too far was almost dead to pak fire, reversed throught teller, teller exploded but did no damage?

Also do you want to tell me that 4 PIATS whitch cost 200 munnition and can be equiped to 210 mp 5 member squads are balanced when they kill kingtiger (one of strongest tanks in game) in same time as 4 schrecks that cost 240 munnition and are on 2 340mp 4 member squads ? In tests zooks took out tiger in 50% more time than schrecks/zooks.

Something had to be done with piats, yes they may be fine against lights when you can kite them, but lategame kiting with heavy tanks while you are under comet fire as well isn´t that easy.

If the KingTiger is exposing its ass 100% of the time, it should die. That's what the Elefant was doing. If the Elefant was facing the front, it would take 1/4 damage max. We've nerfed the insane PIAT deflection damage in the mod.
