KEK. The best part about the StuG having crap armor in CoH2 is that it had pretty damn good armor in reality. From Mein Soon(tm) to be Release Mod ))) (Yes, it's for the StuG IV, but from the front and directly astern it's the same layout and thickness as the StuG III Ausf G.

Your thinking of the StuG Ausf E, which is amazing versus infantry. But the StuG III Ausf G isn't very good against infantry at all, it's like the SU-76 but just marginally less shit.

All assault guns in this game need some help, except for the Sturmtiger.


wow. now you are telling ppl what they are thinking about? i mean contaminating every single thread in the forum is one thing but you are evolving into a whole new pudding.

I do thing that the armor stats for the STUG III and PIV need to be swapped. Stug gets 180 frontal armor, PIV gets 140. PIV could get more penetration. Which would do two things, make PIV vs t-34/76 more equally matched but make PIV alot better vs heavy tanks and everything else.

This would infact be realistic and i think more balanced.

The StuG III Ausf G, isn't very good against infantry compared to things literally in the same tier as it. The amount of time you just need to wait for a PIV isn't that much if you go T3, and the PIV is far, far better against infantry.

wow. now you are telling ppl what they are thinking about? i mean contaminating every single thread in the forum is one thing but you are evolving into a whole new pudding.


Well considering that the Ausf G blows when someone says it's great I normally must think they are referencing the Ausf E, since the Ausf E is better in every way for cost against infantry.

You would literally never see T3 ever be built again, The Jackson already owns it, so why would you want to make Soviets own it to? The StuG III needs an armor and health buff, and the Jackson just needs to do less damage but have better ROF or Pen.

It sounds like a good start but the SU85 requires other work as well.

This is just veterancy overhauling, and while this could improve performance, it's not it main goal.

Why not just give the SU-85 a vet ability that lets it see enemy tanks in fog of war beyond it's sight radius? I mean it's a blood tank destroyer.


Because it already has a focus sights for it and you should be using other units to spot for it.
Regarding seeing units/tanks in FoW, i'll rather save that topic for next week thread: Armored detection.

Why do you consider Tracking to be an adequate ability for the ZiS?

The ability to spot and scout beyond for yourself shouldn't be underestimated (if the nerf was rerolled)
The fact that it also has barrage and since the nerf on the rof on the pak40, it should be more than enough.

Great ideas. As for the stug it is very situational, usually you would rather wait for p4 or tiger but it can be very succesfull against usf playing fast shermans, especially with CAS.

Very nice ideas, totally agree about the ZIS. We still don't know and i sure don't get it why Relic did nerf the ability to the ground. They reduced the range of tracking (does add almost nothing on LOS) and made it even costlier :loco::snfPeter:

Alexzandvar, you talk to much man. No offence!

Was before double ninja nerf.
Vision was reduced by 50%
Cost increased by almost 100%
Now its just bad and is actually THE worst and most cost ineffective vet ability out of all AT guns and TDs.

Su76 should get merge at vet 1. A merged SU85 would be able to fire barrages and have extra armor and HP = to the su76s HP and armor. Also, conscript squads with su76s taped to their backs. :}

^Not serious at all.

I think that either reverting the nerfs to tracking or maybe giving SU76 an HE shell at vet 1 (for main gun) and a defensive grenade for AT guns and SU85s. Similar to the sturmtiger's grenade, but thrown by the commander of the gun.

The STUG 3 ausf G needs a health buff at most, not armor. Jackson needs better penetration or better health.

A toogle-able switch of rounds, with a slower RoF when on HE.

just making the SU-76 a competent (and accordingly priced) AT gun (without touch the barrage) would be enough. it really, really wants to swap with the t70 though.

They should just get rid of the SU-76 and replace it with this for an assault gun:



The SU-122.

That or just make the SU-76 a ZiS on wheels, like it always should have been.

Terrible Idea, first that just doesn't make sense for obvious reasons and seconds. Why the hell should t34/76 and panzer4s be equal when the panzer4 costs 25 fuel more and comes out 1-2 minutes later. Its not realistic the panzer4 with the l/48 75mm was superior to the t34/76 bboth in terms of armor and gun performance. Not by a huge margin but by a fairly noticeable amount.

p4 would still be better than t34.
