Yeah, glad we agree. It's bullshit. I've never killed a kubel on full health with one hit from a ZiS, perhaps other SOV players can corroborate this?
Again, if you're going for historical realism, there were less than 500 KT's ever built. Yet I seem to see them every game on this. For historical realism reasons, they should probably just be removed.
More KTs were built in the war than Ostwinds/Brummbar/Sturmtigers.
So for you, artistic license is - exploding shell from tank landing less than 2 feet from a squad, none of them die - fine. Tank Destroyer actually penetrating a tank and doing SOME (not HUGE) damage - beyond the pale. Is that about right?
Well... A squad irl typically has 12-15 men, not 4-6, so if 3-4 guys die, Id say its representative of 75% of ppl dying. (Although if you had the option on every tank of firing HE like the Sher, the AI would be much better, atm, it looks like other tanks are firing AP at infantry ^^ )
TD pennetrating a tank - well yeah, but you have to look at which one. SU-76 was becoming obsolete at around 1943-1944 when it had to fight Panthers, Tigers and KTs. The SU-85 on the other hand, can fight Panthers, Tigers and KTs, no problem with this.
SU-76 is a bit unique in the sense that it is the only vehicle in the game in which, considering when the game was set, it was starting to become obsolete, unlike the M10, M36, sherman. (Okay, there's another tank that was obsolete in the game - the command Pz 4, it can't penn tanks for shit which is fine because its an IST anyway).
I still see ZERO issue with su76's damaging KT's and Tigers. Stugs damage my IS2.
Considering HTs are nerfed to 1 tank at a time, I feel the heavy tanks seriously need a buff. A lot of the game's mechanics to Relic's error remained the same prior to them making fundamental changes to gameplay.
As a point of interest, when the SU-76 was completely useless and never built during games for all those years before it finally got buffed.....were you calling for it to be buffed? Or were you quite happy with it being useless like 99% of Axis players?
I felt something needed to be done with the SU-76, in the past I always used to be a T1/T3 or a T2/T3 player because I liked the T-34/76.
I had tried to play it in the past, it was okay against light vehicles and P4s but I never brought it up against heavy tanks because of historical expectations.
Also, please keep a track of your next 20 games and tell me how many KV8's you see, thanks.
Will do, I might bring a KV-8 into a game sometime, although tbh, considering how good T3 is in dealing with infantry, you're not likely to see KV-8s anymore.
