I really got my ass kicked this game. I could use some suggestions please

DPS is only a small part of a unit. An actual sniper deals an effective 80 dmg to infantry units every shot, so does that mean that counts as DPS? Burst damage cannot be thought of purely as DPS, since burst damage gives your enemy a fairly large window to do whatever they want before they get hit again.

But a lot of things in this game have a long reload while not having that high damage. DPS is useful because it allows us to calculate if we can win a fight or not when brawling over a point or objective.

The reason why the firefly is scary is because it's very mobile, has a very high punch to it, and retains the survavbility that high alpha units like the Jackson lack.

Oh god they reduced the price relic what are you thinking 240 damage unit with only a 2 second slower reload than a Jackson or Panther while getting more damage at vet 3

It is still miles better than the traverse speed of a heavy. You claimed that it was as slow as a Heavy.

I claimed it was similar to a heavies, incorrect wording on my part, a more accurate description would have been "it has similar traverse to most TD's"

It most definitely had Tiger turret speed to compensate for the TUlips and its high Alpha. It was a "sniper," not a TD.

At 26.66666666667 it's DPS is only 1 less than that of a ZiS gun. So is the ZiS gun a sniper instead of an Anti-tank gun?

They removed the extra armor because it was stupid. It has 160 armor, as could be seen in its stream performance.

Heres hoping~

I will call it like I see it. Civil discussions can only exist if you are willing to change your opinion and reason in a logical manner. Like seriously, how can you possibly compare a vet 2 IS2 to a vet 0 Panther in hopes of accomplishing anything besides stalling.

The statement an IS2 at vet 2 can accomplish a similar turret traverse speed to that of a TD/TH is not inaccurate. You are reading to much in to what I am trying to say.

WTF is this argument? You can't just claim one unit is vetted and another isn't to prove your point. Does that mean that since a vet 2 Ostheer P4 has the same armor as a stock OKW P4, the Ostheer P4 has the same armor stats?

If you are proven wrong, just admit it FFS.



This is a straight up lie. The firefly had a similar turret rotation to a Tiger vet 0. If you are complaining about the Panther's turn rate, you have obviously never fought nor used one, when comparing it to other heavys and mediums.

And the Firefly is about 30 fuel cheaper than the Panther, has the HP and armor of a Sherman, 240 damage with long reload (lowest TD DPS) and 60 range. If you can kill a Sherman with a Panther, you should never struggle versus a Firefly.

Like seriously, don't spread bullshit on these forums please.

They upped the cost of the FF to 175 (now they might have reverted it in the mean time, I don't know) because literally everyone was using it all the time. It preformed fairly well for that high cost. Obviously they reduced it's reload from 12 to 9 in the interim since the Alpha.

If you want to compare the FF has a DPS of 26 to the OKW Panthers DPS of 21 and Ostheer Panther's DPS of 24. I can't look up the FF's turn rate atm, but

Also if you want to get picky about the stats he's posting, most mediums and lights have a horizontal turret traverse speed of 40 or above, the Panther has 33.

If the FF has Tiger tracking speed, it would make no sense as the traverse speed for TD's and TH's is between 30 -> 36. It's probably similar to one of the Sherman variants.

Also the FF didn't have Sherman armor, it has the armor of an Easy Eight. Now this doesn't represent an issue for the Panther, which will always pen, but if the FF get's the first shot off as the Panther is approach it then the FF will win. Were the FF got problematic was it was basically a Jackson with Easy Eight armor (thus able to bounce PIV shots and occasionally other things at max range).

Don't accuse me of "spreading bullshit" if you care about civil discussion. Especially since I put a fair amount of effort into my posts and fact check and test most of what I preach.

Because I use it alot The 50 cal is fine. It also has pretty good damage... (At least it's not an MG34 )If reinforce cost Is an issue, recrew with echelons if it ends up dying.

Mine only die from leig snipes,turbomortar,I decided to a-move it into obers from laziness, or because i left it alone or wounded somewhere, or 2-3 rifle nades into a lone MG, because if it's supported, the supporting rifles can still win the engagement. In other words, typical allied MG deaths.

And I simply can't go without it anymore,"it's that good."

enemy is suppressed before seeing MG because spotter, I walk up with bar riflez, shoot suppressed squads. Enemy does this sequence 3 times, gets mad, gets a Stuka, starts firing angry rifle nades,etc.



I don't lose 50 cals to paks, haven't lost an entire gun because of its 10 armor because getting to decrewed is your fault,nor does having 2 50 cals suddenly insta bleed me.. At worst you have to reinforce 2 models per retreat.
I mean come on. Put it in yellow cover and Throw a nade on it and recrew if its that bad.

50 cal is aloooooot better than it used to be. That I'm certain of.

Weapon priority value set wrong so it will get decrewed by PaKs and other antitank weapons very easily

focus_fire: true so it does a notable amount less DPS than other HMGs considering its other stats.

Vet2 removes all the aoe suppression and incremental accuracy changes HMGs were given

Gun has 10 armor instead of 70 so gets gun destroyed fast by mortars and nades (35 pen)

Worst long range penetration of any HMG in the game (1.0)

If all these bugs were fixed your logic would be sound, and lol @ you admitting the MG34 is worthless.
