the stug has more penetration... also the stug also outclasses the SU-76 in terms of DPS and HP... the stug is the superior unit to the SU-76 by a longshot

As incredible as it may seem, SU76 has more penetration (and more range) than the StugG.

I think you are looking at the old Coh2stats which has outdated stats. Though the difference is barely there due to the range difference.

Jumping in without reading so sorry if it's been mentioned - imo the zis should just be more expensive. Same with the mortar for that matter. There's nothing wrong with these units providing more than their contemporaries given the infantry proper is generally lacking (at least until 7 man) but the price should be paid.
Higher than average durability and utility at the cost of slightly weaker primary function isn't enough imo. Bump its price up a bit and see what that looks like.

It's only max 20 difference and it worth noting that SU76 will often have to fight against units with higher armour values, whereas StuG will face weaker armoured units. Penetration values alone will mean nothing. So overall StuG will penetrate more. It is the superior unit. A lot of people excel-stating seem to forget that.

That's not how it works...

Well I remembered incorrectly it is the SU-76 barrage that kill model when vet 2.

The damage profiles are in post #12 (if I have not missed anything)

The grenades/barrage analogy is simply off mark, I will not even bother explaining why.


The why bother with this repley?

Field gun barrage is unique to soviets. No nades stock is also unique to soviets.

People make it out to be a absolute wipe ability wich it is absolutly not.

The ZiS barrage is almost a guaranteed retreat for most HMG, ATG or indirect fire like mortars, taking in consideration that its firing always 4men squads.


This is true.


A garanteed retreat is something esle then a garateed wipe. Certain people claim is near or a garanteed wipe on hit at max range even.
Even against 4 men it rarely wipes esp with the first shot.

Almost the same stats, but with 10 more range + Barrage ability. More than enough to bully/snipe P4s, Stugs, Halftracks and Team Weapons.

Each faction have unique things that does not mean much either.

Comparing grenades with barrages is simply misleading. They are different thing.

The abilities CD is very low and there in real justification for it.

the tradeoff here is the lower DPS and extremely low health... the SU-76 dies to 3 shots from a medium tank while taking 6 shots to kill one... it can most certainly harrass P4s... maybe stugs if the enemy is a dumbass... but it can neither bully nor snipe these units...

the SU-76 is widely considered to be an inefficient unit anyways... its value is easily superseded by the SU-85/ZIS3 combo... its the reason why you dont see the SU-76 very often...

Losing a position (by a wipe or by a retreat) because of an OP ability like the ZiS or SU76 barrage is almost the same. You lose the position!!!

Ok. We can say SU76 and Stug are quite similar in terms of AT option.
BUT, the SU76 have an extra ability (Barrage).
The same happends with ZiS vs PAK.

At least SOVs have a better TD option than the SU76 (the SU85). Imagine playing Ost only with Stugs as TDs.... or Panthers (but they are not meant to be used as TDs like SU85, Jacksons, FF or JP4 cause of its horrible ROF and Accuracy).

incorrect... the StuG is a far superior AT platform to the SU-76...

the difference between the ZIS and a pak is quite minor... 1s reload and 10 penetration in exchange for barrage and 6 man

a stug meanwhile gets 70 (100%) more armor 160 (28%) more health 20 vs 17 (15%) greater target size 0.04 v s0.0375 (6%) more accuracy 6% more DPS in exchange for 10 (16%) more range and slightly higher mobility Speed: 6.3 Accel: 2.3 Rotate: 32 (SU-76) vs Speed: 6 Accel: 2.1 Rotate: 28 (StuG)

the panther is pretty balanced against the SU-85 and FF... 4 shots to kill the SU-85/FF and 6 shots to kill a panther while the panther faster and half decent against infantry...

the jackson is another story... even now i wonder why the devs decided to put the faction with the most kickass earlygame infantry with the strongest lategame tank destroyer....
