SU85 doesnt penetrate OKW
Posts: 1487
Now it does mediocre dmg vs oh tigers but penetrate normaly.
With okw its just a bs. It bounces of panters all the time. To kill KT you need 30 shots. While is2 and zis are somewhat better
. Vs late okw you need to play is2 commander usualy. Jp4 pen is2 normaly in comparision. Its never good investment to tech to t4 non doc units vs late okw

Am I correct in stating that the Panther for OKW comes with side skirts (thus increased armor and HP values) when compared to the Ostheer Panther? This would be the same as the P4 for each faction.
Do you really need 30 shots from the SU85 to kill the KT? I don't think so. SU85 damage can't be that low. If that was the result of one test including bounced shots, you can't just do one test and reach a conclusion.
That's why the study of statistics exists m8.
Do Jagdpanzer IVs regularly penetrate the IS2? Let's find out. I'll post the answer in an edit to this post!

Okay, so, to make a general statement, the KT and the JP4 perform better than the IS-2 and SU-85.
However, the OKW vehicles also cost more.
When a JP4 fires at an IS2 from max range, it has a penetration chance of 170. IS-2 has armor of 375/205 (front/rear)
So, penetration calculations use the simple equation p(%)=v/a
Where p is the probability of a successful penetration (expressed as a percent), v is the penetration value at a given range, and where a is the armor value of the tank.
Against the front, the JP4 at maximum range has a penetration chance of .453(repeating 3). So you've got a 45% chance to penetrate. That's far from "always".
Let's look at the SU85 vs. KT.
When an SU85 fires at a KT from max range, it has a penetration chance of 180. KT has an armor value of 375/225 (front/rear). When you take the values (180/375) you get an exact .48
That's not much of a difference, three percent, but it does better than the JP4. Against rear armor of the IS2, JP4 has a .83 chance. SU85 vs. rear armor of KT is a .8 chance.
here's a fun google doc I made in ten minutes. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g1GN0VO18kDoERcvo7q_4aKuyQpnN5dM5Jra0RflORE/edit?usp=sharing
stats from coh2-stats.com/vehicles
Edit: To conclude, l2p.
"it's never a good idea to tech t4 against late game OKW" yeah, of course, you don't need the Katyusha. T34/76s can put you ahead too. Say you kill the first medium tank from OKW right after it comes out and you know they've got to wait on their command panther or KT or whatever shit to throw at you. You get map control back cuz your 2 SU76s and your vet 3 ZSU are all still alive. You tech t4, push out 2 t34/76s and end the game.
idk, I'm not too good with theory crafting sometimes. Late game is hard with the variables.
Katyusha, though, always good.
Edit #2: Realized stats from coh2-stats are from June 2015. Checked penetration, armor values, and costs on http://www.stat.coh2.hu/index.php and everything was correct except for KT's fuel cost (up to 310). The pen. values that they list are the mid-range penetration values only, whereas coh2-stats listed near/mid/far.

I love the Katyusha vs okw. Their panzerschreck/raketen spam is hard to deal with using light tanks. I love the katyusha in this match up, and the SU85 is pretty solid. (But I don't use IS2 or any of that shit.) T-34/76 is nice to have too.
I don't even like getting T70's anymore since they are relatively easily countered. For me it's 1 SU76 and maybe a halftrack and then go straight to t4.

T34/76 is absolute garbage even for cost and needs buffs

When I played as OKW this morning, the Sovjets managed to kill my KT when it could not retreat in time because of other player's tanks in the way. It didn't take 30 shots, and I didn't even see the SU-85 shoot at my KT in the beginning.

I was talking about constant bounces and low dmg to panters and kt not to kt only. This unit is not countered by say85 due to its fast speed range and low received dmg/bounces from the front. Its only countered by unit mix that include is2.
If su85 is fine vs okw then it overperforms vs oh. While it absolutely doesnt op vs anything.
Also saing that okw has some more expensive tank is absurd. Every okw tank except kt is a lot cheaper cuz itz unit unlock is cheaper.

Now there 1 comander shock rifle vs okw every game. Is2 is must have. And shocks are must have to drive off those invisible atgs. Only shocks do it reliably cuz other units just get ambushed by sturms.
Lel.
Havent use IS2 or shocks in ages - still doing fine

u know kt cost is 720-310 but in real 720mp and about 540(3trucks) fuel to come,then u can easilly kill it by mark target.

When someone is putting teching cost as a unit cost
Unless you want to say that T34/76 costs 275 fuel

So Sherman costs 290fuel?
E8 325?
I don't think so.
Therefore KT does not cost over 500.
In that case, OST Panther would cost 465 fuel and it should be as deadly as KT. But it;s not becasue it costs 175.

I hardly see good game just with T2, shocks and call ins (tho still possible) yet getting T3 and T70 is a way better option rather than turtling into call ins.
