Switchable AP/HE shells for the IS-2 and Tiger

If we have that mechanic for the ISU-152 with 11-second delay between switches, we should have the same for these two heavy tanks - saying gameplay should contribute to/encourage supporting armor with infantry to take on these tanks, and then having these evaporate that infantry and eat up armor with one universal shell in every shot is a big contradiction.

It was mostly the range that made the ISU too much though.
Tiger has short range so it seems ok to be powerful.
No idea about the IS2 range but it never hits anything anyway, so....
Still, probably everyone would be happy to have more tactical choices in the game.

Absolute no. It's ok for ISU but not IS.

Yes it has shorter range, but that doesn't stop it from annihilating infantry and killing tanks with the same shell, which hurts the combined approach from the opposing player.

The IS-2 has become really powerful and popular since the last patch - most of the Soviet players field one, and in team games you sometimes have multiple of them, aggravating the problem mentioned in the response to the previous quote above.

Come on. Maybe we'll give changeable shells to all vehicles? Let's also change the game's name to Blitzmen of Heroes 2.
I think you are forgetting why vCoH was such a success.

It certainly wasn't such a success because you could have units that ignored logic and common sense in the game.

The only reason IS2 more visible is that's the ISU-152 is nowhere to be seen... ISU-152 is the greatest overnerf... They nerfed play variety !!!
Plz don't ask for more ! or you gimp the Soviet faction.

The shell switching for the ISU was a bit of an over nerf since the AT shell from an ISU isn't very high damage or high pen. Honestly they should just revert the ISU to having one shell but reduce the squad wipe potential.

If you want change, plz state the problem. Changing for the sake of changing isnt good enough.

as Ostheer player I say IS2 is should be like that.
On the other hand is THIS commander is very strong.
Has Shock excelent infantry unit.
Incendiary arty which is usfull in a LOT situation especially against weapons crew.
So the problem is WHY Soveit player should to chose other Commander??

i think the unit was nerfed wrong
squad wipe potential is still very high from 70 range away
i would like to see it's range reduced to 40
restore the old shell system
and of course the price should be reduced aswell
this would at last warn you and you can decide to endanger your inf or not
also paks are not instand useless once this unit hit's the field (at last in 2on2's with small maps

I hope you are also including tigers, Tiger ace, and King tiger in your "these tanks" statement.
it would be pretty unfair to force soviet heavy armor to switch shells while the big cats can blast away with their shells.

Please try not failing at reading all four lines of the OP, then try posting again. Thank you.

I did include the Tiger in the title, and obviously the KT goes in the same category.

Limit heavies to one at filed, build-able after destroyed, bound them to techs. Problem solved, no need to add more complication in micro.
First off all. Tripwire so gud, 10 ammo for a whole dead squad ? + sight.
Vehicle capture point can win games, blitzkrieg save a tank. Fair Deal i think

In terms of 3v3 and 4v4, the ISU has been overnerfed, you never see it anymore. The IS2 is necessary pretty much, if you don't have them you're never going to win any game that goes longer than 20m. The Super heavy spam will just crush you. The IS2 is bad enough for not hitting things and the incredibly low turret rotation speed. What it really needs is PRIORITZE VEHICLE - The amount of times im chasing a near dead tank down with my IS2 and it decides to turn it's turret towards some engineers or whatever pains me.

Id rather make the is2 slightly more accurate at the cost of reduced armor, as its absolutely ridiculous right now.

Put all tanks from medium to super heavy having AP-AT shells with a cd of 6-7 sec if you swap and the game will gain far more interest than what we have actually.
