DPS against what also matters.
Churchill struggles against OKW P4 and vet2 ost P4.
It can't go up against anything bigger frontally and I don't need to say that won't be flanking anything with it.
It struggles the same way KV-1 does.
It does not mean it'll lose or come close to.
It means it has a very hard time actually penetrating and finishing it off.
Compare how long it takes for churchill to kill that OKW P4 vs a Comet vs OKW P4 and you will start getting the idea.
Churchill is damage sponge, not damage dealer, whoever believes churchills firepower is OP, can't handle T34 either.
So in other words the Churchill/KV-1 will win the fight clearly but it will still straggle.
Actually Churchill has a better chance to penetrate PzIV's front and read armor (it has 100% chance to penetrate rear) than PzIV to penetrate the Churchill's.
In other words Churchill has better "DPS" vs PzIV than vice versa.
Churchill vs OKW PzIV Front/Rear
58%/100%
51%/100%
45%/100%
OKW PzIV vs Churchill F/R
52%/69%
48%/64%
46%/61%
So according to katitof's "straggle", the PzIV also straggles vs Churchill.
Would be nice if people use terms like "straggle" with their dictionary meaning and not as they see fit?
(Edited data since some people have issues the same people should understand that the data provided are the chance for Churchill to penetrate the front and the read armor of OKW PzIV separate by /)
