Question is why did they give stug e those shells? Was it really necessary? I think the only thing those shells did was take some authenticity out of the game... :/

We need to keep things as realistic as possible while making the game fun and balanced, I can't emphasize this enough. I think one of the reasons why people play this game instead of other strategy games is because it looks (kinda) realistic and historical, it is what makes coh COH!

Actually the Stug -E is very similar to Leig gun so the current implementation of slow moving projectile with a ballistic trajectory is more authentic.

look to the M8 Scott and its 75gun. it can fire at a huge distance, is very fast, have turrent, fantastic acuraccy, good wiping potencial ...and than look the stug-e.

its slow, cant fire at long distance, have no turrent, is a commander abilty and have a poor acuraccy/ no wiping potencial

The stug e didnt have a "slow moving projectile" it had a low velocity gun and in consequence the projectile wasnt as fast as a projectile fired from a high velocity gun (but was still a fast projectile). By being a "slower projectile" it lacked penetrating power and thus pz4's and stug's that had this gun were used to support infantry and used HE shells. So imo instead of the shell that the stug e has at the moment it would make a lot more sense to give it the HE shell of the sherman.

The StuK 37 gun was howitzer and thus used high angle of fire (indirect fire), the Sherman use a gun with low angles (direct) so they are different. This is not an issue of munition since both used HE.

What actually would make sense would be to replace the TWP ability with direct fire mode (timed or number of shots)so it can defend vs light tanks (AP shell where available for the gun).

Ok it seems that we are 50/50 right and I agree with you, changing the ability to something more suited for this gun would be a nice change and oportunity to bring something fresh to the game. What about giving it a toggle ability that would allow the player to change from a longer shot (M8 Scott like) but less precise, ideal to pressure garrisoned units and at guns, and a closer range/direct shot but more precise, ideal to deal with rushing infantry?

I think all units shold be given a switchable button "don't use AT weapon (PTRS, Panzershrek, etc) on infantry", because sometimes squad shoots infanry with rocket dealing no damage, and in the next moment vehiches appear. That ruins the game. It's not so scary for ptrs, but for bazooka it's much more serious problem

to fix team games

I would start with few things

1) Fix aim time fore maxims

2) Remove SturmPios as first squad

3) Reduce repair speed to Sov level

4) Give leig power to clear buildings faster

5) USF mortar range 70.

This is it. It would be enough for me.

I think that ability to take abandoned guns like mg42 is a bit unfair. For example, there is a note on a gun that it needs at least 2 operators, but when a squad of 3 men takes it, all 3 become gun crew. I suggest that if such gun is taken by a squad of 3 men, one of them should remain as a squad member and the others become gun crew so that player won't lose the squad

SturmPioners should be with Kar98, Right at the start of the game they give you too much advantage. FolkGrenadiers have STG, it's time to choose or Pioneers have STG or Folk
