Hey you stole that from me

No one claimed these two examples are equal, at least not me. What I meant is that the DPS (measured by the T2K) of the ISU against heavily-armored targets is roughly equal to that of the SU-85. This of course includes other factors than pen, such as ROF or the fact that the ISU deals deflection damage, which diminishes in effectiveness the higher the pen chance gets. The latter is the reason why penetration bonuses are less desirable for the ISU than for other tanks, and an equal increase in ROF would be much more beneficial.

I vaguely remember that we once estimated the ISU's AT capability to be roughly equal to an SU85. So overall, it should lose to a Panther.

Bullshit on one unit does not excuse bullshit on others.

But even if we accept that the JT can fight team weapons:
There is a huge difference between the JT pushing back a single team weapon (probably an ATG which is supposed to counter it) that is a third of its price and population and the ISU forcing back the Ele/JT at a similar price level. Especially since this could have the side effect that an ISU that is capable of defeating the Ele/JT would slaughter the Panther and anything below.

Actually the changes where not a nerf but a buff...

ISU Piercing Shot cost from 70 to 60
ISU Piercing Shot penetration now set to 1000
Concrete Piercing AOE damage from 1/0.25/0.05 to 1/0.25/0.15
Conrete Piercing AOE distance from 1.25/2.75/4.5 to 0.25/1.5/6


Main thing reduce was kill radius

It can now be used vs both hard and soft targets.

As AT it is meant to be used vs JT/Ele
