ISU-152 Overnerfed
Posts: 976
It was the best weapon soviet faction had... They are now a bear without is best teeth.
Sure there are others options, but now the cmrds with ISU-152 are gimped.
The ISU 152 was already easy to kill with 2 tanks flanking it, now it's a joke.
That was a nice idea, but it's just too much and not fun.
The ISU-152 kill infantry the same way the elephant kill tanks. (from afar, fast and is rather easy to kill if you can flank/reach it.) both are balanced unit that do their job for their cost.
I would revert the Jagdtiger too, but i would make its shooting through wall a munition ability, and make it 10% slower. The Jagdtiger is in it's own class. (tough to kill and powerful)
Thanks.

Also you can compare ISU squad-wipes to the Elefant, when the Elefant starts one-shotting full health tanks.
You mean like how it 1-shots the T70, su76, M8? All of which are a lot more expensive than the average infantry squad.

Light tanks and Armoured Cars vs Elefant Tank Destroyer? Not really any basis for an argument. I know you're just going to comeback and say "ISU vs Infantry", you can apply that argument when they build me an Infantry squad that can take at least 2 direct ISU hits before dying.

All of which have very little armor.

I won't comment on the ISU as of now, but the ISU before the nerf was absolutely not balanced. Also you can compare ISU squad-wipes to the Elefant, when the Elefant starts one-shotting full health tanks.
It's rather normal for such heavy assault gun to kill static infantry grade units easily. Moving squads are already less prone to be one-shotted. As with the elephant, the ISU-152 need a spotter to do its job properly. Scouting and counter scouting are the key here.
If i may add, i would limit the maximum number of heavy unit on the field to (1) one per player.
The heavy units, i would limit are : the ISU-152, the-IS2, the Elephant, the Jagdtiger, the King Tiger and the Tiger.
Such change should incite players to diversify their units.
Thanks

3 things wrong here.
1. "It's rather normal for such heavy tank destroyers to kill static armoured units easily."
2. Squad doesn't need to be still to get one-shot, in fact most of the time they're moving when they suddenly explode into bits.
2. You do realise ISU can spot for itself just like the SU-85 and Elefant?

At the end game I would much rather keep my vetted infantry around than a T70, su76, or M8. The veterancy (which most infantry will have by that point) makes them far more valuable.

The ISU, JT, Elefant should actually have never been included in the game to begin with, so a drastic overnerf to the point of uselessness is the next best thing IMO
this, give me heavy tank slugfest, rather than long range sniping nonsense. leave sniping tanks to pak 43s.

3 things true here.

ISU-152 primary role is assault gun and not tank destroyer.
2 A moving squad is harder to kill with an ISU-152, it prefer static unit.
3 The ISU-152 like the elephant and any other unit can spot for themselves, but is not optimal as they can fire farther they can see. Ref: http://www.coh2.org/topic/3018/truesight see the post with the picture from AmiPolizeiFunk.
Sorry to have contradict you.

I'm inclined to disagree that the ISU should have been left alone, but on the other hand, it appears another of the tiny amount of units the Soviets had available to counter heavy German armour has now disappeared...
I agree Marco. It is the only real counter to heavy armor the USSR have. It was squad wiping a lot so i did agree that it needed ot be changed. However, i feel that this beta change is a lazy way to add "micro" to a unit
