Profile of Switzerland

Denuvos main adverting point to publishers is related to piracy unless thats taken a big change. Its also been removed from titles as it brought down performance and their reputation in preventing cheating is pretty laughable. If its got the tools stop ESP efforts, its not working as several cheats for 3 are undetected. The point stands that modern gaming is facing a wave of easy access to cheats and the industry is several steps behind. If Denuvo is meant to stop the map viewing software's being used in COH 3, its not.

I hope the December Expansion is a hark to the bright times https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbKmhtkbjn4

People both Like and dislike the unit, both camps existing isn't going to be a reason to remove the unit. folks may want to attempt to disagree on the ST having an unsuccessfully history but thankfully relic doesn't seem to disagree from their own development statements. So if folks cant cede that there have been some borderline wacky choices and changes to a units real world history of success that's ok, no need to debate against stubborn refusal. Relic has done their homework (as id hope they did) and they are aware that they took those wack not very true to life route with units like the KT and Jagdtiger for an interesting product.

Some people want it some people don't, and again I don't think you can please everyone. I like to hear Relic reasoning that they want to weigh those previous inclusions that were fictional representations and use that going forward to make some new inclusions. And again the Skink would be a cool inclusion as since number don't matter to Relic, it would be a cool compatriot to the whirblwind and the Centurion would have seen the war if only the surrender hadn't come as it was shipped with the intent to do the same battlefield testing as Pershing. I'm glad relic didn't go full historical in COH otherwise it would have been a pretty limited franchise, we've seen some cool units and abilities that aren't true to their life nature.

It’s not on me to manufacture a history to make a fictional take on its combat history, it’s on you to find more than one alleged instance it had a success. I’m leaning towards you’ll have a tough time manufacturing a history where the sturmtiger was a successful AFV. I don’t think anyone is under the illusion it was deployed in its intended role, it wasn’t but that doesn’t make it a success story either it was a failure.

So again it’s a fictional liberty that relic took for gameplay to come back to the thread discussion. The BP is the same move. If we are going to be so concerned the BP never shipped to the front line, the Centurion mark 1 only missed combat due to the surrender of the nazi regime. More simply put, if the old men and boys fought afew days longer you would have seen the centurion on the field, so maybe swap the model of the BP to it if that’s your historical fiction line.

The ST was not designed for "forcing battalion into retreat" it was designed fire support vs enemy strong position or in urban terrain.

As you can see in wikipedia though there at least one record of "wiping entire platoons":

"During this action, one of the Sturmtigers in Sturmmörserkompanie 1001 near Düren and Euskirchen allegedly hit a group of stationary Sherman tanks in a village with a 380mm round, resulting in nearly all the Shermans being put out of action, and their crews killed or wounded. This is the only tank-on-tank combat a Sturmtiger is ever recorded engaging in."

Lets be generous and drop the word allegedly for this record. To call the units combat history successful was again a large adventure in fiction. One alleged combat venture a success record or combat legend does not make. Hence the very discussion on how a units life was blown up into historical fiction, very generous treatment considering they had to record the one time it hit something that wasn't a city albeit allegedly.

Also in the sentence above it does mention a company of 7 sturmtigers failing to hit Remagen bridge, if that may lend an ear to the luck or legitimacy of the alleged hit. Again a generous fiction to make it as accurate and powerful as it is when it was likely luck or perhaps didn't occur.

Note : The Wiki for the Sherman company hit still needs citation on Wiki, hence has no written record provided on the Wiki.
