It's fine I guess.
It shouldnt be anti-everything and long reload time is there for a reason.
You should be punished for a bad decision when switching shells in the worst moment, for examole when enemy bates you with infantry and then rush with a tanks.

The muni switch takes pretty much as long as normal reload, which makes sense.

You know, it used to be a singular shell back in Beta I believe, but every one complained because it messed stuff up. Too potent, which is why they reward preparation and micro with shell use. Annoying at times, yes, but ultimately rewarding once you pull off a good infantry wipe, or dank tank hit.

imo they should just give back the single shell type. The aoe and accuracy of the HE shell has been nerfed enough. relic can give back the one shell-type with the current aoe and accuracy and i think it woul be okay

Just a question when switching ammo type, is the reloading of the gun still taking place.

Beta? It was one-shell-type even year ago I belive. Well, point is it was in game (not just in beta) for a long long time.

I don't like the split shell type aesthetically. But man it was OP. Unless the ISU has like a 20 second reload then it would be ok.

But if its going to retain its 9 second reload.

Just kind of Buff AP shells pen a little bit. Or make HE shells have a better chance to stun enemy tanks. Like 33-40%.

Or further buff those shells.

But reduce The AOE damage to like 60 so it can't one shot full health squads outside of like a 2 AOE area.

Idk my opinion. Isu isn't that great, but its still kind of hell to fight.

ISU can still be very powerful on open maps but they take care in use. also, avoid switching ammo types. if you're mostly against infantry stay on HE and it'll wipe quite often. if you're against vehicles than stay on AP and you'll damage tanks and wipe occasionally.

This, as long as there's no Jagdtiger or Elefant.

I'm also for penetration buff of AP rounds or make it based on deflection damage, like Piats. 260/230/200 is worse than Phanter, Jackson (with HVAP its even same damage, almost two times better rof, and much better penetration) or Firefly. Make it decent AT with same AI shells, but with very long munition switch time, like 30 sec.

Probably was, I went on hiatus from the game for about 2 years after the Beta testing was finished, I didn't have any friends who also played the game, and there wasn't much variety, only having the two factions.

The absurd cost and chance to be stopped by a blade of grass make this a really useless muni sink.

well, you rarely ever see them anymore because they're almost like RNG weapons. if the HE shell hits, it can potentially squadwipe. If it misses, it's another 12 second wait to try again. Because of terrain, i missed 3 shots in a row... that's 36 seconds of a heavy tank doing absolutely nothing. it's pathetic for TD. I never use it on penetration rounds because... it just never penetrates when you need it to and it doesn't penetrate consistently. With low reload times, that's just a waste. SU-85 has superior TD skills.

ISU152 is basically a big sponge and squadwiper. useless on vehicles. that's why people would rather get su 85 and katyusha instead. Well time katy can damage multiple squads and su 85 will do more damage, losing it costs 120 fuel instead of slow reversing 230 fuel? 260? i don't remember it's cost. Basically, once it's flanked. it's done.

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:
