Thread: SU-7611 Jul 2018, 18:08 PM
i wish the SU-76 had .4 long range accuracy more HP and 160 damage on its main gun... and had target weakpoint and stealth capabilities
u know, the radar and the 60 range are not bad |
StuG had a number of factors making it best TD, extremely cheap cost, very low pop, rapid fire and TWP all added up to that.
What does 76 have?
-not the cost(its 2nd most expensive "at" allied tank in game)
-not the pen(EZ8 is vastly superior)
-not cheap pop
-RoF is ok, but EZ8 is still MUCH better in med on med combat because it can actually deflect AND penetrate reliably, while posing a real threat to heavier tanks as well AND being able to survive extra shot.
76 sherman introduces a good alternative to soviet T34/76, but not to 34/85.
It was a breath of fresh air for soviets back in the day and the doctrine was picked exclusively because of DSHK and ability to call it in, without that, the unit died as both, 34/85 and KV-1 are much better alternatives for the cost.
The same thing applies to USF and regular M4 as well as ez8.
i already said that 8/10 times the easy 8 is better but on medium vs medium the pen is good enough and it has enough armor to bounce shoots too, the reload is around 2 sec at vet 3 while the easy 8 is still around 5 sec (and has only around 20 more pen) and the 76 is faster |
For it to be actually like that, it would have to have pen comparable to wolverine, but then it might just as well be wolverine.
Its weaker EZ8 that costs just as much.
well the stug was called the best TD and has average pen for a TD what really made it shine was the reload speed so the same logic should be applied to the versions of the sherman (and if u look at the scatter and aoe profile) easy 8 is more of a generalist while the 76 is more honed for tank damage thanks to the high reload
so i do think that the easy 8 will be better 8/10 times but the 76 is by no means a bad tank and shine more on Mtank on Mtank fights

Thats the only advantage the 76 has over the EZ8. It has a monster reload rate of 2.5ish seconds when vet 3 and that's w/o radio net. Everything else, armor, penetration, HP and scatter all go in favor of the EZ8.
76 is more for tank killing |
Going to ignore KT having more HP and 50% better dmg?
btw u forget the +5 range, what wrong kat ? u are missing ur shoots lately |
JP4 is ur answer to anything classified as not-heavy tank |
If ostruppen can be given a MG42 upgrade I don't see why cons can't have a single DP for 45muni with t4.
It has much lower DPS than the 42 so would still stay balanced with high con accuracy at vet 3.

Yeah, there are. But you have to change it for every unit. That is why it is such a mess.
or simply create a weak base weapon but when given to elite they get the elite one so u change like 2 unit as the other aleready have this (ober,commando,etc) |
I'm afraid the OP is mistaken. While it was indeed announced that the Katyusha was being nerfed, the revised changelog that appeared just before the patch went live stated that the change was reverted.
placebo effect |
Which was accounted for in their balance. Nobody can say the maxim is up to snuff for 260mp MG outside its 6 man crew. Mg34 is comparable in performance but is a chunk cheaper as well, before this overhaul the mortar too was clearly inferior. The zis while versatile is also "worse" in its AT role than 4 man crewed AT guns (although that barrage is pretty tight, should probably be a vet ability tbh...) the 6 man squads is a design choice clearly offset by performance.
An example of 6 men being a teching perk would be- cons are green clones, when t3 is built they get an extra model so they can trounce them like Tommy's do then at t4 they get another model. That's not the case. They pay for durability with performance across the board.
Also, is the Pak howi a Soviet weapon team or is its 6 man squad a perk from teching?
OH and also iirc the 120mm is now a 5 man squad...
do u remember at what number the howy gets decrewed ?
and i said in the post above by playing the desing card one can justify everything, after all "u can't double up lmg 42, u cant put sherck on any unit, etc" as u can see i played like u the desing card |
