Ostwind's penetrations

Jump back to quoted post22 Jun 2019, 14:48 PMKirrik

Way to completely miss both of my points.
Ostwind isnt OP vs tanks, its just so OP in general as it does something that should never be possible - AA vehicle seriosly challenging medium tank in frontal engagement on top of being most effective AI behicle Ost has and costing same fuel as T-34 and sitting tier lower than said T-34. AA stands for anti-air, not anti-all which current Ostwind is

TL;DR Ostwind is JLI of this patch, hence same wehraboo brigades pathetically defending it, exact same way they did it JLI despite them being laughably OP

It doesn't seriously challenge a T-34/76 in the slightest. The video in the OP is both invoking Lanchester's Law and showing a run of bad luck for the T-34/76 on penetration rolls.

Boot up the CheatMod yourself and see how well an Ostwind fares against a T-34.

No one has a problem with the centaur obliterating pumas apparently.....

I dont need to do that as I'm actually playing the game

They didnt even buff the ostwinds penetration. It shouldnt be any better against t34s than it was before the patch. There's no legit complaint here

Its ROF was buffed so now it does deal more DPM to an enemy tank than before, so there is a change. However the damage it deals in a realistic scenario (with the units moving) is pretty insignificant even against the worst/cheapest medium in the game.

Yeah, they only HALVED cooldown beween shots and increased magazine from 5 to 7. Aside of that, totally nothing was changed about Ostwind

You totally got me, T-34 has 150 armor, T-34-85 has 160. Yes 10 armor difference would shown a completely different picture

Unless it was changed and I missed it the t34 should have 160 armour. Has for as long as I remember and I don't recall any patch notes to the contrary.

Yeah i just checked the changelog and edited my post for the cooldown change. But agreed it still shouldnt make anywhere near the difference that the OP talking about



And it still only has a 23% chance of penetrating a t34 (max range). The OP is talking about its performance against tanks, not its performance in general
