Soviet Tanks VS Infantry

Now I'm not here to complain about damage output of Soviet tanks.

I'm here to complain about their ridiculous scatter.

The sole reason of which is supposedly because of Wehrmacht's smaller squad size. But is that really a valid excuse to give them huge scatter? Their damage is OK when they hit, keyword being 'when' since they miss so often and lack the Area effect of other factions.

For example, the IS-2. It could easily wipe a AT gun crew with it's behemoth gun, but it's scatter is so ridiculous it's like the crew want to miss on purpose. Hell the DSHK mount often kills more infantry than main gun, this in a supposedly ''Breakthrough tank''.

Soviet scatter needs significant reduction. Not bonus when they vet, but vet 0 reduction since it's so absurd.

Gotta stand still to hit something, like all tanks except maby the sherman. Trust me, standing still works wonders. Shoot from far away late game so you don't over extend.

Hello.

Like InRealLife, running and shooting at somethin' is difficult, same goes for your tanks (and soldiers).
If memory serves, it is accuracy*50% when shooting on the move for soldiers, but i admit i dont know for tanks. Possibly quite the same (+50% scatter?)

Moving tanks have 50% scatter and accuracy penalties.

Some(mainly shermans who actually did had stabilizers) have less penalty.

I'm assuming you think I'm a noob who doesn't know that. Soviet tanks still have absurd scatter anyhow.

Certenly not. I had absolutly no idea if you knew it or not. Had you showed a playercard i could have made a better guess about your experience of the game.
However, i prefer to say "obvious" things than leave someone in the dark.
Still this part of the game is not that obvious at all and a lot of player lately discover that mechanics (like me).

About OP, if i remember the numbers, the scatter of ,let's say, the T34 is quite close to the one of the P4 (6.50-7?) and the T70 is very precise, even more than the Ostwind (1.50-3)
Tanks in general have bad scatter.

T34-76 needs better MG

Rest of tanks are fine.

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
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
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.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

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.
