I'm back with another question concerning how bulletins and penetration/armor work.

I've heard that penetration percentage chance is penetration/armor. So with 100 penetration against 200 armor, that would be 50% chance of penetrating.

Now suppose I have a +5% penetration bulletin, how does that work?

Would it add the 5% to the 50% chance above? Giving a 55% chance of penetration.

OR

Would it add 5% to the penetration value of 100, which would be 105 penetration but only result in a penetration percentage of 52.5%

How about +% to armor bulletins?

If its the second case, I would argue that penetration bulletins are much less effective than people think. For its only when penetration is already a high value relative to armor that the penetration bulletins actually increase the percentage chance by the stated bulletin percentage. I.E. with a penetration of 190 vs armor of 200, a +5% bulletin in the second scenario actually increases the percentage chance by ~5%. And therefore low penetration weapons in general should not bother using penetration enhancing bulletins as the effect is too meager.

If its the first case, then low penetration weapons should use penetration bulletins whenever possible!

Thanks again Cruzz!

Its not, don't waste your money on it, he meant that you will not find realism in coh2, because its arcade rts, so asking for it is pointless and you'll hate MoW exactly because of realism, like we all did(don't know a single player who played it and still does).

For the record, I know what he meant but decided to ignore its impolite character as unworthy behavior of the individual who posted it.

It would seem however that few understood what I wrote in my original post. Rather than a plea for realism let me say again that the range on the Panzershreck is the primary cause of OKW imbalance issues, Volkshreck blobbing, and the lack of alternative AT use. I propose it be reduced by 5.

Hello Everyone, newer player here and first post.

CoH2 is a great game, but I agree with the original post that slight changes to OKW are warranted and could also increase realism.

I propose reducing the range on Panzershrecks by 5, slightly reducing their usefulness and encouraging the use of alternative AT. Currently the range of Panzershrecks is 35 while the T34 has a range of 40, almost the same, while in real life the effective ranges were 150m and 1000m respectively. By reducing Shreck range frontal charges of Shreck blobs would be more vulnerable to kiting, encouraging the OKW player to become more creative in order to get their infantry close enough to use them as was necessary during the war. Perhaps people would even find it necessary to build a Jagdpanzer occasionally.
