I think the value is too low. It doesn't need to be so high that it never needs to be switched out to AP rounds, but if it's ok for Grenades to damage fighting positions, I don't see the problem in allowing explosive rounds to reliably penetrate bunker armor. I would like the value raised.

T34/76 is NOT a joke on my hands; Maybe on your hands you make it suck shit? but on me, No. I can kill a stug with a little micro, go toe to toe with a Panzer 4. Is it a joke? LOL T34/85 is apparently a very good tank. But no one says it "one hit wipe" or elefant penetration; up to a point i think this little medium tank just have too much health and too much firepower with that fuel cost.

The bunker armor is 35 and the he round pen is 25. The fighting position armor is 20 in comparison, hence why this building can eventually be gunned down.

Fighting position armor is 2. Not 20.

I'd rather see bunker armor reduced to 25. This way the issue is solved without buffing the Sherman.

Oops, I for got to add the armor from the health, so it is 22 when fully constructed.

lmao, I never even noticed there was a modifier in the construction tab til now. Apologies for trying to call you out or whatev.
Certainly doesn't feel like 22 armor though.

Do not worry about it, I was partially wrong as well.
This does pose a question in which should the Sherman HE shell penetration increased to 35? It would mean penetration vs OKW HQs as well. Their armor is 35. The Panzer 2 armor is 55 so I would have a higher pen chance while the puma's armor is only 25 so it already pens.

The HE Sherman is already super good as it is. You don't even need to switch to HE rounds to kill Pumas so I really don't see why their penetration should be increased at this point.

This. Buff it further and you risk it actually being effective vs things like the luchs.

Whats about HT,arty armor?
Whats the damage of HE?
Like, if the pen is so low while the damage isnt increased, thats mean we should just use AP to shoot HT & Arty? So overall HE is only work to infantry?

. If we buff usf to the level you need to be able to get a 50% win rate against an easy bot anyone competent, or at least to the level of my blind 1 armed grandmother would be unstoppable.

buffing the sherman so it can pen the okw flak tech and bunkers with HE woudnt have much of an inpact IMO and be fine by me,
but i dont think it needs the buff, and if it affects other interactions i would be carefull

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

I miss the #JustOkwThings during Leigfest.
also, yeah, this HE shell vs bunker is total bullshit, maybe add a modifier to HE shells vs bunkers?
