Why you speak about efficiency? Do not confuse efficiency with the fact.

In 1944 german dont have fuel, factories did not produce enough tanks and tanks had technical problems. Most trained soldiers were already dead or in captivity.

Myth? This game is full of myth. Blitz in 1944, Obersoldaten (what is this? zombies on steroids from Wolfenstain? Sturmtiger and Ostwind (zero impact in war and only few pieces).

Then just focus on a) It wouldn't be fun. Skillplanes are currently boring as hell. Adding more will not help the situation. It is better to have the player micro units that click two buttons to counter a threat.

Because a) It would be boring and b) less tanks were knocked by airpower than claimed by the airforce. According to Niklas Zetterlings book Normady 1944 only about 7% of destroyed german tanks during the Normandy campaign (circa 1500 in total) can be said to have been knocked by airpower.

In Sledgehammer by Christopher Willbeck he explores the knocked Tigers during operation Goodwood. 13 were lost to airpower, 7 of them by high altitude carpet bombers before Goodwood began. Typhoons knocked 6 of them.

During the entire Operation goodwood the two airwings claimed some 390 knocked tanks. After the battle some 460 heavy German AFVs were standing knocked out on the battlefield, 300 were inspected. 10 had been knocked by airlaunched rockets. 3% of claimed became confirmed.

At Mortain the airforce of the allies claimed about 75 more kills than the germans had tanks.

Basically this myth about rockets from P-47s and Typhoons being the bane of German tankers is nothing more than a myth. AT-guns did the most of the damage both in the east and west.


There is your explanation, it doesn't make sense form a gameplay standpoint nor from an historical one.

Yeah the M-42 was very accurate, it had a 4x scope if Im not mistaken. What they would do against later war tanks was to conceal themselves, something that is quite easy with the small M-42.
Wait till the enemy tanks are close enough and then fire at the tracks. Being accurate they would knock the threads of, causing the enemy tank swing around and show it's weaker side armour.
And that ofc could be punched through.

When a Tiger with damaged engine and close to no health bounces 11 shots from an SU-85 and then gets away behind a bunch of PaK 40s.


Face - desk.

Or when my neighbour starts banging my wall because I shouted RREELLICC at the top of my lungs at midnight on a monday.

I have a Corsair and a Kingston in mine. Both works nicely. For regular use by gamers and the occasional professional use you can't really go wrong. Performance differences between makes are often not large enough to be really noticeable. Or more correctly, unless you are loading a lot of stuff from a big database, other stuff will bottleneck way before your drive. An extra 40$ on performance isnt worh it.


So the question becomes more about quality and in that department Kingston is probably your best bet.
