Hi Cruzz,

I'm a little curious about how the Conrete piecing round on the ISU-152 functions. Based on its name, I get the impression that its a shot that should pass through all shot blockers, in the same way the PAK43 round does.

More often than not however the piecing round is stopped by terrian or fails to pass through a building. Is this intended and I'm just mistaken with how the round should function?

Given its cost to use what then is the purpose of the ability if it fails to reliably punch through shot blockers or even just terrian?
From the Coh2Stats I noticed its has a much higher peneration compared to the normal armour piecing shot.

Lastly, does the type of ISU-152 round its currently using (armour piecing or explosive) have an affect on the Conrete Piecing round or is it a purely seperate ability?

Thanks!


Although I'm not Cruzz, I think I can help, it can penetrate structures and to 'some extent' thickets of woodland (depending on the surrounding terrain). However as you said the shell can be intercepted by terrain, which PISSES me off to no end.

Also because it is a 'attack ground' ability as opposed to the 'active' ability of the Jgdtiger, the Isu-152 doesn't actually target a vehicle/squad unlike the Jagdtiger's comparable ability. This can often lead to misses and clipping into the terrain. LELIC is it so hard to make these two abilities universal?

Ah thanks richarddear

What you said makes sense based on what I've seen.

The fact that the shot gets intercepted by terrian makes the ability somewhat pointless especially considering how much it costs to use (70 ammmo I believe).

The ISU-152 is fustrating enough to use with its ammo switching and normal shots getting caught on terrian. Bit of a shame really that concrete piecing round suffers from the same issue.

I wonder if this was an oversight from Relic or if it was intended to behave this way.
Please bear in mind that I only play team game modes.

You crushed some unfinished wire you had started building


I'm amazed by this little fact :D
My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

A fun little fact:

The "sniper" rifles that Pathfinders and JLI use to death crit enemy infantry (40% health for Pathfinders and 75% health for JLI) have inverted damage profiles to your normal guns, with the JLI G43 actually having a positive accuracy modifier at at far and the Pathfinder Scoped Garand having only slightly negative (.93) accuracy at far and very negative accuracy at close (.34).

As far as I can tell it checks for the health of the unit after damage has been applied (with both rifles used by JLI and Paths doing 16 damage) meaning if the one shot hits, takes the model below the health threshold it will snipe it. It only needs to hit to do this btw, meaning model sniping works against enemies in cover or garrison who take reduced damage.

So if you want to play around with sniping models using these infantry units, make sure to keep them at range. The reload on these guns as well as the aim is pretty big, so don't count on any 360 no scopes.

This also highlights why BAR's make Pathfinders so insanely powerful, because the BAR's can chip off enough of a models health pretty quickly (high ROF weapons are much better against units with a large received accuracy modifier) to enable scoped kills. Also pick up dropped weapons with your JLI when ever you can, as it also makes them more deadly for obvious reasons.

EDIT: You should also take from this that standing at range using the Soviet sniper against JLI is an extremely bad idea, as you only need to have one of the models at 30 health for it to be sniped.

Does fences stop conscripts from throwing at grenades? Yesterday I was to flank a kubel and oorahed to the side, and when I commanded the throw the squad turned around and ran with their fists in the air back around the bushes and straight into the road that I wanted to avoid in the first place, and by then the kubel had reversed. Luckily actually, or they would've joined the first immediately pinned squad on the negative cover road.

Where does the fifth echelon dude come from? Off-map or from behind bushes or a hole in the ground? :)

fences shouldn't but elevation differences will.

+1 to Hector's Question;

Also a few more Brits questions that I've thought of.

1. What exactly is the cover bonus for Tommies (Cooldown/Reload Speed etc?)
2. Does directional cover matter for the cover bonus? (EG if you are on the wrong side of cover do you still get the bonus?)
3. Do trenches give you 360 degree green cover? (I'm trying to figure out why Relic deems trenches 50 MP worthy for Brits when they already bleed MP like no other)
4. What bonus does the "designate command vehicle" ability give?

Thanks!

As garrisoned buildings, vehicles or bunkers provide a different defensive bonus than heavy cover, I'd be hardly surprised if trenches were also a different case.

Also, pretty sure any garrison works from all angles around them.

What PPSh do Guards use?

Is there any reason Soviet Camouflage applies to the USF M3 Half-Track?

Made a small DPS calculator myself as none of the usual suspects have updated yet.

British small arms DPS, near = 10 / mid = 22 / far = 35, includes reload.
Tommy DPS numbers are in cover. Engineer Sten numbers are out of cover. Added the reverse cover states to the end of the list.

Tommy Out of cover penalty: *1.3 cooldown, *1.5 reload (on all weapons)
Sappers In cover bonus: *0.3 cooldown, *0.5 reload (on Sten)

Wait a minute, why Sappers do more damage with Bren than Tommies?

Sapper one has better accuracy and faster reload, shorter burst. Works out to be better for the sappers.

So the Bren from the weapon rack changes its weapon profile depending what unit picks it up? I think I missed something in here.

This is nothing new, LMGs picked up by obersoldatens and paratroopers already did this before. Picking up the weapon from the ground will always give you the Tommy version of the gun, btw.
