OKW SP Headquarter vs Sherman

Hi guys,

I need your help here. From memory before the last patch, a sherman was able to take down the SP Headquarter on a 1vs1 if it was facing it with his front armor. I have the memory of the SPH not being able to pierce that much of time the front armor.
Am'I right?

Cause in my last game, i was unable to take it down and it almost destroyed every single my shermans. I was in a situation like:

2 Shermans in front vs SP HQ + Raken (but one was flanking actually, so the raken could only fire on the 1st one), I managed to take the raken with that sherman but I had to retreat both of my unit since the SP was riping of the second one like knife in butter and I had to left it with 25% of his life.

At the end I lost the game because of that structure. Impossible to destroy it with what I had on the field...

I'm bit lost, is there any change about it mentioned in the patch-note or maybe I was dreaming until now...

If I was effectively dreaming, how are we suppose to kill it with only tiers units?

The penetration on that gun is way too high. It should really only be damaging infantry and light vehicles, not tanks.

I think it's fine as it is right now.
Just fix the max range circle warning (idk if last patch fixed it already), and maybe a bit less suppresion in order to don't run into it with infantry and be obliged to retire to base due to instapin.

But the current damage against tank/vehicles is fine.

So was it the same before the patch? You're saying it is fine right now but do you say - Yes SPH should ripe off a Sherman from front armor - or - like before the patch, - SPH should do some damage to a Sherman but should lost vs it if not supported.
After all it's just a structure with a 360 angle, as far as I know there is now rear and front armor and it's impossible to depop gun servants.

Nothing changed in the last patch, it's been that way since the patch when it was buffed a few months back. That said, the pen is too high. It should not pen tanks from the front.
