Thread: 76mm Sherman and M4C's AP shell needs a small buff I think1 Apr 2022, 13:23 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2022, 12:18 PMT.R. Stormjäger Mate you’re a level 14 2v2 player, don’t act like you understand faction and commander power levels enough to evaluate unit changes. Mate you believed that the autoattack of brumbar had a faster projectile than the attack ground one. I guess you rank did not help you understand game mechanics any better. Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2022, 12:18 PMT.R. Stormjäger I was top 10 USF and I’ve played Mechanized before and after the nerfs and I can tell you it got overnerfed. And I have not claimed either wise, my point was that it was not part of conspiracy where "they just wanted to nerf Mechanized into the ground" and pointed out that similar change where made to osttruppen. The nerfing both commanders was a step in the right direction since they where dominating the meta regardless if they messed up in execution both commanders where overnerfed or not. Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2022, 12:18 PMT.R. Stormjäger The 76mm was an excellent unit that only got nerfed due to Combined Arms synergy and commander power level so now it’s an underpowered unit that’s a poor choice compared to dozer M4s or Ez8s. The 76mm was an OP unit that at VET 3 had a ROF of 3.26 much higher than other tank of its class and even higher than TDs and that was without radio net or combined arms. As I posted in post 22 the unit is cost efficient and any issues are not related to being "trash" Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2022, 12:18 PMT.R. Stormjäger I would revert the rof nerf on the spot and nerf combined arms instead while giving Mechanized back dozer 75mm. In: COH2 Balance

BT just wanted to nerf Mechanized into the ground so they nerfed everything in it except Cav Rifles. The decision to nerf mechanized was correct the same way the decision to nerf Ostruppen was correct and that had nothing to do with any conspiracy but with the fact that the mechanized vs Ostruppen much up become boring. (weather the commanders have been overnerf or lack utility is another story or are badly designed) All that is rather irrelevant to the 76mm though. In: COH2 Balance

If AT is where the 76mm Sherman was deemed too effective, a pen reduction for the regular shell would have been a better choice IMHO. Right now the tank is only marginally better than a regular AP-Sherman in terms of AI, while the HVAP rounds combined with its standard armor and 640 HP aren't really offering enough AT-wise to offset this. That doesn't mean it's a bad tank per se, but having to pick a doctrine that isn't too spectacular otherwise makes the 76mm a pretty tough sell. The justification was that is had an unusually high ROF compared to other vehicles of it class while being able to get even higher ROF by vet bonus and abilities. The unit was firing faster than a STUG. In: COH2 Balance

(about even in static fight win easily if moving) That is simply not a trash unit or even a overnerfed unit. The unit is cost efficient. In: COH2 Balance

When it comes to doctrinal vehicles underused units is not really related to the unit being cost efficient or not. On top of that USF have one of the best TDs available stock and and simply too many Sherman version available so again usage is not directly related with cost efficiency. The Soviet lend lease commander that offer a similar unit is more popular even thought there commander with one of the most cost efficient medium tank the T-34/85. 76mm Sherman can full fill its role of dealing with the PzIV just fine. The ROF of the unit was simply too high compared to other vehicles of its class. In: COH2 Balance

"Pioneers In order to give the Eastern Front factions repair times that are more in line with those of the Western Front armies, the minesweeper upgrade on Pioneer squads will now give additional repair speed. Minesweeper upgrade now improves repair speed by 0.3 per model" Vet 0 Pioneer and CE with sweeper should have a repair speed of 8.32... In: COH2 Balance
