I'd like to see a 'thank you' mechanic which allows users to thank a post (like a Facebook like). Under the post there is a list that says 'the following 15 users thanked the author for this post'. It shouldn't push the thread or something like that, it's just to find quality posts easier.

This

Outside all of the fanboying, trolling and flaming that occasionally happens on this forum (not too much tbh but its obvious when it happens) there are a lot of really good informed posts made here. This would be an awesome feature

SU-76's fought everything, StuGs, Panzer IVs, Panthers, Tigers. For Panthers it just needed to hit the side or rear to kill it. For Tigers, they have APCR and HEAT rounds to increase their chances of a kill. It was less likely, but at close range (APCR) or a good hit (HEAT) they could break through the armour and knock it out. Difference is in real life they only needed to penetrate the Tiger once for it to not become a threat. In CoH2, they need to do it 9 times, so rushing up to close range is a death sentence.

In CoH2, the only tank that can load other shells, apart from maybe Stug (haven't used that for ages) is the M4. (unless if we count abilities) We can't assume they're firing HEAT and APCR.

And even assuming they did fire HEAT and APCR, as you said yourself, they needed to be at close range or get lucky. This is not representative of the current percentage the SU-76 can penn Panthers, Tigers and KTs at "long" range. It may be able to fight Panthers, but in reality, the chance of pennetration should be lower if the Panthers were frontally facing the SU-76.

And the 9 times does add up really quickly, because by the time Panthers, Tigers and KTs come out, 4 SU-76s can come out. And neither of those 3 one shots SU-76s.

The free barrage has existed for over a year.

One should look first to see what other changes may have made the SU76 OP, if it is op, instead of

nerfing

modifying with their axis/allied biased heart.

Free Barrage was always in the game. I want it in the game too.

If there was anything that made it OP, its buffs to penn to compete with SU-85s and moving it to T3 without changing its legacy stats. Its simply an oversight by relic.

It's not a nerf SU 76 thread.
It's about finding out what ppl think about the free barrage

I agree, IMO free barrage should be kept (IMO it should be buffed for accuracy, I don't like seeing gimped abilities for units which should perform it adequately - its bad design), but something does need to be changed about the SU-76.

1. if buff barrage it better cost mu maybe cheap one like 10-20mu
2. no the pen is the only reason it is being use right now, it have less damage than AT gun already 120 compare to 160, maybe low the damage to 100 but leave pen alone, i felt it doing little bit too much damage for its price, if pen got nerf, no one will touch SU76 again.

1. Maybe, doesn't really make a difference either way.
2. No, I'd disagree, if it was good in dealing with P4s, then I'd still buy it, esp if I can pump one out in the first 5-10 minutes as it shuts down any P4 play. That and, if barrage was buffed, it would be a lot stronger early-mid game than it is.

I think rather than looking at the SU-76 as a dedicated TD, which it wasn't really fulfilling by 1944, we can look at it as a early-midgame assault gun instead.

A lot of the ideas most of you guys are mentioning in fighting SU-76, save the Jagdpanzer 4, are more or less defensive options against the SU-76, which is kinda useless because who wouldn't fight with the SU-76 behind their lines?

Unless if they were silly or confident enough to push with them.

The best way to avoid arty is to listen out for some heavy caliber guns firing. If you can hear them, immediately move any unit you think is spotted away from the area as 9/10 times, the enemy will try to bomb any concentration of units.

Its a bit like dodging grenades, except instead of looking for windup, you'll get an audio warning.
