No, it's not. I've probably played close to 50 matches this patch (Mostly 2v2 and 3v3), about 20 as soviets, 30 as germans. I've encountered the ISU very frequently and yes, it penetrates the elefant every single shot. I've also used the ISU for a few of those matches. It does and if you don't believe me, try playing Jaeger Armor. The ISU is simply a better unit. It can penetrate any tank the germans have at the moment.
Pure nonsense.
Absolute shit.
ISU-152 penetration is 230. Elefants frontal armor IS 400!
That's a 57% to penetrate.
Tigers armor is 300
76% chance to penetrate.
Panthers armor is 270
that's an 85 percent chance to penetrate.
Keep in mind that range is not taken into account.
Elephants gun has 400 penetration. It can reliably penetrate every . single. soviet tank 100% of the time.
The highest soviet tank is the IS-2 with 351 frontal armor.
Also i have 0 clue why SSheini is complaining about cover meaning less.
THere have been ZERO adjustments to cover.
Honestly, i really hope relic knows what they are doing and wont fuck up again having listened to people like SSheini... Who told us that G43 grens lose to ppsh conscripts 100% before the march deployment. Who said that the game needs minor adjustments and even then complained because the soviets had OP things during march deployment and now they are complaining like crazy because they cannot spam grens and actually have to use tactics to win...
Also, FYI conspam is supposed to be feasible. Con spam is one of the ways the soviet faction is supposed to be played. Now obviously LOL SOVIETS OP BECAUSE THEY CAN DO THIS AND GERMANS CANT.
Ever heard of assymetrical faction design?
Relic themselves said that SOVIET TIER UNITS ARE TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN GERMAN ONES BECAUSE GERMANS WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE COUNTER AVAILABLE TO THEM.
Also lol someone thinking stugs were nerfed... Jesus dude.. WTF....
Also is someone complaing that shock troops are too effective?
Let me tell you how to counter shock troops.
You need to buy 2 grenadier squads OR you can get an LMG 42 on your grenadier squad. Unless its a close quarter map, shock troops have no chance.
Panther is only not worth it now due to call ins being too dominant. If anything it got a buff. At long range it nearly beats an IS-2 due to higher penetrationl.
In 1v1 the game is almost balanced. The only issues right now are soviet mines, ISU-152, and ele (in team games)
