60 Range, Turret, hmmm

The turret traverse should be extremely slow though.

IIRC, the M36's turret was hand cranked... Or was that just the Hellcat..?

It was the M10.

I know the M10 was manual, but I don't know about the M18 or M36.

Looking up a bit more, they had both crank and powered (m18 and m36), and either were used based on crew preference.

Sherman: shoots its smoke launcher at the elefant. M36: charges/flanks elefant and it is now dead.

alternatively,

Elephant shoots Sherman, Sherman blows up. Elephant shoots Jackson, Jackson blows up.

Elefant doesn't one-shot anything larger than a T-70.

If I'm not mistaking, I think it one-shots the su76s too.

SU-76 has the same chassis, so yes

..And I guess it's not the worst thing .
Lol, even a pre-patch Panther (50 range) could have a serious problem with it. Actual Panther doesn't stand a chance.

But maybe we should stop compare it to the Ostheer units. Anyway I think Ostheer will be overpassed by far and forgoten. Anyone playing with it will take a severe beating. Probably OKW will have more reliable units, though more expensive. Overall, probably meta will be favourable to USA (as it was in vCOH, what should we expect?) but it would be nice for the german faction to have a chance, even if this chance is smaller.

Guess you haven't played the alpha if you really say that ostheer has no chance against the US forces. There are noticeable advantages on both sides and I have to admit there are hardly any major balance problems between the 4 factions.

Btw. I played few games Ostheer to check the synergy with an OKW player and yet have to lose against the US forces.

Dude don't forget the NDA. The number one rule is don't talk about balance.
