Pure nonsense.
Absolute shit.


ISU-152 penetration is 230. Elefants frontal armor IS 400!

That's a 57% to penetrate.

Tigers armor is 300

76% chance to penetrate.

Panthers armor is 270
that's an 85 percent chance to penetrate.

Keep in mind that range is not taken into account.

Elephants gun has 400 penetration. It can reliably penetrate every . single. soviet tank 100% of the time.

The highest soviet tank is the IS-2 with 351 frontal armor.



Also i have 0 clue why SSheini is complaining about cover meaning less.
THere have been ZERO adjustments to cover.


Honestly, i really hope relic knows what they are doing and wont fuck up again having listened to people like SSheini... Who told us that G43 grens lose to ppsh conscripts 100% before the march deployment. Who said that the game needs minor adjustments and even then complained because the soviets had OP things during march deployment and now they are complaining like crazy because they cannot spam grens and actually have to use tactics to win...

Also, FYI conspam is supposed to be feasible. Con spam is one of the ways the soviet faction is supposed to be played. Now obviously LOL SOVIETS OP BECAUSE THEY CAN DO THIS AND GERMANS CANT.
Ever heard of assymetrical faction design?
Relic themselves said that SOVIET TIER UNITS ARE TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN GERMAN ONES BECAUSE GERMANS WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE COUNTER AVAILABLE TO THEM.

Also lol someone thinking stugs were nerfed... Jesus dude.. WTF....

Also is someone complaing that shock troops are too effective?
Let me tell you how to counter shock troops.
You need to buy 2 grenadier squads OR you can get an LMG 42 on your grenadier squad. Unless its a close quarter map, shock troops have no chance.

Panther is only not worth it now due to call ins being too dominant. If anything it got a buff. At long range it nearly beats an IS-2 due to higher penetrationl.


In 1v1 the game is almost balanced. The only issues right now are soviet mines, ISU-152, and ele (in team games)

I am really glad you posted this, I am sick of being one of the few who uses logic like this to argue

This map is universally banned by both factions. As for your maxim spam problem remember the mortar, It is fantastic at killing off maxim. Another thing you should keep in mind when playing this game is tech choice as Soviets. If maxim spam starts early, you can know for sure there will not be snipers, at least for a bit. The German sniper is a great choice because it is rather hard to counter without T1. You will pick off many crew members before even a mortar is there to soft counter you.

That double elephant blunder costed the Ostheer the game. I bet they learned there lesson to never leave elephants unsupported lol

This game lacks a few things from newer RTS's that I hope western front comes out with:
1) a replay mode that allows multiple spectators
2) customizable hot keys
3) a replay mode that allows you to rewind / seek a previous time
4) a replay mode that has more useful information on it like SCII's UI (Displays a bunch of diferent info like total munitions, resources spent where, etc)
5) a league system that helps pair people up with similar ELO more often like SCII's
6) displaying what the veteran status of the unit gains so players do not have to dig for those facts

ISU just needs to go back to being how it was before with a penetration increase. It was rarely seen before because of its ok performance and massive cost. It was only ok at combat because it bounced so often vs Panthers and tigers which allowed them to pretty much hard counter the ISU. Currently it hits small targets too often, but I think the direction they went with in terms of a pen buff was the right call.

As for the elephant it is a 25 population monster at killing tanks, but It is pretty terrible at killing infantry. Enough Zis guns walking forward while supported will push the elephant off of guarding victory points. You will still need tanks, but keep them out on the flanks where the elephant is not pushing back attacks or breaking open attack avenues and pulling back before the elephant can get in position to do anything about it.

In my opinion, the elephant isnt that bad to deal with, but the ISU is too good at killing everything to be balanced.

Also if they buffed artillery in some fashion (Personally I think they should just be cheaper ) the counters to these long range beasts will come back. Now I will say that a quick easy hot fix of the problem would be taking out the bombing strikes for each of the doctrines that have the ISU and the elephant. Right now they come stock with the counter to artillery and a way to liven up the combat would be able to safely (relatively) going for artillery.
