Tell me,

why does a 152mm Howitzer with either HE or AP ammo not penetrate a Tiger II?
And why is it possible to dual shot a regular shell and the ability shell at the same time? And why does the howitzer not deal consistent damage against non moving targets?

And get penetrated by raketens while the 88mm Pak 43 does not penetrate its front? :D

Because balance. Back when it was anti everything, it was too strong. Though I do feel like it could do with some deflect damage, as its frustrating having bounces with such low reload and ammo swap.

I thought this was fixed, I've not been able to do it in ages so :s

HE with attach ground is your friend vs infantry and support weapons. Its very strong when used this way.

And get penetrated by raketens while the 88mm Pak 43 does not penetrate its front? :D


Raketan is an AT gun, if it never penetrated a tank* then something would be wrong. Also I dont think its possible for the PAK43 to not penetrate the front of an ISU (though I'm unsure how to calculate far pen).

*I know its an assault gun.

HE have deflection damage.

Nope. At least not on KT. I've had 2x ISU 152 against 2x KT and the ISU was completely chanceless in direct combat.

No matter if its using AP or HE shells, neither penetrate nor do damage. The only thing that deals damage is the concrete shot.

I sure as hell am not as surprised or shocked when seeing an IS-2 as I am when facing an ISU-152 so Idk.

I just think it's in shitty doctrines, that's all.

They do, it must be something like 40 damage, the concrete one also has deflection damage (more) although it has lots of penetration.

A pen buff to AP shells and giving some arc to its Conc Shell would be more than fine, at least for 2v2s and shit.

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:

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