The OKW P4 bulletins...

Played a 2v2 a few days a go, against someone who used triple +5% armour bulletins for the OKW P4.

I guess these bulletins were put into the game before the recent changes to the P4. I have to say, with those bulletins, the tank was insane and just wouldn't die. It laughed in the face of Su-85's and Firefly's.

Can anyone tell me the stats of the OKW P4 with the 15% extra armour, and if vet changes the armour too?

It has 234 frontal armour normally, so with those bulletins it would add up to 269 frontal armour. For comparison, a KV-1 has 270.

The OKW Panzer IV does not get any more armour with Vet, but it's other bonuses are exceptional. Both the OKW P4's bulletins and vet were designed with the assumption that it was bad, but that is no longer true.

it never was bad but it was in a bad doctrine. basically the okw p4 has vet 2 armour bonus from the start then ad the armour bulletins and you get a p4 with panther armour.

This makes it the bane of the regular stock medium armour

That's debatable. It was a tank with the durability and scatter of a T-34/76, that game out at the same time as the T-34/85. And you had to pay for the armoured skirts, which were more or less mandatory.

Also, Panthers have 320 Armour.

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific. :snfQuinn:.

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
