SU-76 - A Slight Adjustment

Jump back to quoted post11 Jun 2020, 23:43 PMthedarkarmadillo

Firing cone to 5 would certainly help. Any idea why it was so much lower?

Think it does not have animation for the gun, and if I remember correctly in real life the gun did not have horizontal traverse either.

AFAIK 15 degrees for both sides.

It has -5/5. But it does have very high hull traverse speed (30/37,5) to compensate, which is easily the highest of all casemate TDs. In comparison, the StuG has 28/33,6, the SU-85 has 22/26,4 and the Jagdpanzer has 20/24.

Well, here's a random thing on the SU-76 that might help it at least engage when its trying to run away. A bug-fix if you will.

-Firing Cone from 2 to 5

All other casemate TDs have a firing cone of 5, in addition to better horizontal traverse radius. If the firing cone gets standardized to the other vehicles, the SU-76 would be slightly better at engaging units that are slightly off center. From what I've seen, if the vehicle is not dead center with the SU-76, it won't fire- likely due to said firing cone.

your two statements contradict each other... on one end youre concluding that the upgrade makes the unit lame and spammable and on the other youre claiming it may not be enough because the soviets still have the SU-85/zis/7 man on T4 combo...

this is exactly why the upgrade is necessary... that ways the soviets dont rely on a one trick pony for the lategame and can function efficiently either with multirole SU-76s or the SU-85/zis + T-34 trick...

On map where you dont get flanked i would just spam su-76.
It can penetrate a king tiger from max range just fine.

lol really? Can't tell if serious.

Off the top of your head what is the long range penetration of the Su76 and the armor of the KT?

Don't wanna be the "fun at parties" guy but don't know if ppl trolling so I have to give some numbers:

KT armor: 375
SU76M long range pene: 160

That gives a 43% chance to pen long range >> 1/20=5%

I was just screwing around. To counter the soviets op reeee narrative i guess.

But thanks for the math. Its better then i remeber it being according to the math. Vut rng probably screwed me over.

Oh i know the pentration and armor values, I was wondering if the educated individual i replied to did.

But seriously who builds su76 to counter heavies lol. Even on maps where you "don't get flanked".
