Feel free to ignore [or mods delete if you find it poor or too off-topic] but just laying my mind down why the M4 Sherman 76mm upgrade from vCoH should not be equated to upgrading the T-34/76 to T-34-85.

[This regards history, and yes gameplay > history. just feel alot of people aren't aware of why the comparison is an apples and oranges situation]

Basically the 76mm upgrade for the Sherman is equal to upgrading the Pz-IV to a long barrel, remove the old gun, slap on an other. Loads of Shermans were upgraded like this.

The redesign to the T-34 also changed the entire turret which meant a bigger turret ring had to be made in the chassis; a gunner was added which made them more effective thanks to commanders not multitasking as much, fixed problems with the transmission meaning the driver didn't need the radio-operator some willpower and powerful kicks to shift gear, the electrical engine for the turret was replaced, working conditions for the loader was improved, the airfilters were changed and the radio was moved.


T-34/76s were never upgraded to T-34-85s, it is more of a new tank built on the same principles and using (almost) the same chassi. But the 85 was so much more than just the gun, so having an muni upgrade to the 76s to 85s would be quite weird.


Not saying adding the 85 as an unlockable when X,Y and Z are true is a bad idea, just that 76s should not upgrade to 85s.


If you wish to respond to this, send me a PM and we can make a new thread for it.

People seem really confused about this still.

IT HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED.

Pretty much every infantry small arms weapon has point blank: true. The current value for range at which cover is ignored when it is true is 10. Does not affect building cover. You can very easily check this out on kholodny's rightside spawnpoint as the house there has a stone wall right next to it that is clearly within range 10. Try to clear out the house with the help of that stonewall and you'll see that it doesn't do anything. But stand behind the tank corpse on the south side of it and things are suddenly a hell of a lot more comfortable.
