IL-2 Anti Tank Rocket Run

Jump back to quoted post12 Nov 2020, 07:59 AMgbem

while it does most certainly delete heavies... ripping off 90% of the hp is a bit inaccurate... as i tested on cheatmods it usually kills around 60-70% of the HP of a tiger even from the rear... it usually needs an SU-85 or some other AT unit to finish the kill...

Isn't that normal than? You spend munitions + tank and you need another tank to finish the job. I mean, it's a cheese strategy but I've seen KTs and Tigers get out with smoke, either because there were no supporting units with AT capability or the affected player smoked around the heavy tank. It's even more so since you really do need a high penetrating tank to finish off a KT. It's 375 armour will certainly mean that not every shot will penetrate at max range from SU85. Just my two cents.

i can with certainty though say that the combo will delete a KT within 10 seconds of connecting ram... its insane

Yes, maybe I'm a little overboard about the damage.

I mean according to their roles, KT at least can move ahead to open up a battle an take a few AT shot before retreating to heal, but if you do this that KT will surely deleted by that combo

That's why you need to scout it out first. In 1v1 KT is not used because of obvious reasons. 2v2 it can be used and it synergizes well with scouting units or any sort of forward vision. Generally it's not the smartest thing to put your KT on the front line if you KNOW the enemy has that combo. It's a doctrinal combo so you won't always play against it but if you do know, don't put KT first.
The whole combo is RNG dependent but you do need to have smoke ready from your support gun if you are playing against that combo.

I think if Ram was adjusted so it didn't stun armor for so long that would go a long way towards making this ability more fair. It should honestly be a skillshot but I understand why the T-34/76 has Ram for utility purposes.

It's way too lethal for its cost, combined with the ease of pulling off a successful ram makes it clearly OP.

Ideally, Ram should be a vet 1 ability that doesn't stun for so long to stop the swarm of cheap freshly made t34s from cheesing. This would also address the IL2 bombing from also over performing.

76mm isn't bad. It's AI is great. It (and other armour) however would benifit from a much higher close pen so they are not useless against stronger tanks. Harder to use and generate risk, but not useless

I am agree that t34 is not that bad. With that commander i always find them build 2 t34 to bully infantry or it can be use to execute the combo. t34 presence is already a threat
