Thread: ISU-152 concrete piercing round14 Dec 2021, 04:30 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Dec 2021, 04:01 AMMMX 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. Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2021, 21:36 PMHannibal 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. I might be misunderstanding hannibal here, but he may mean AT capability vs the panther instead of AT in general. While I agree that because of deflection damage the penetration buff would make it less prominent, buffing RoF would risk overbuffing the tank. The ISU can already 2 shot 640s and 3 shot panthers with mark and it doesn't need to be done faster. While in all honesty I've had fantastic success against the elephant with the ISU, probably due to the deflection damage, penetration would benefit more against super heavies while keeping TTK vs 640s-960s roughly the same. I don't really think the ISU needs a buff, I'd just like the ability it has to be more useful or changed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-152 concrete piercing round14 Dec 2021, 03:33 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Dec 2021, 03:11 AMMMX This pretty much. The ISU is already pretty decent when it comes to AT with pretty exactly the firepower of an SU-85 (against a Tiger), but twice as beefy when it comes to HP and armor. That means it's already able to facetank anything lighter than a KT, JT or Elefant without breaking a sweat unless it is forced to constantly move. Adding 20% more pen will do next to nothing against the three super-heavies mentioned before, hence I'd argue a timed pen boost ability would be even less useful than the current skillshot. How is SU-85 shooting against a tiger equal to an ISU shooting at a super heavy? Super heavies at minimum have 375 armor where the tiger has 300. At baseline 220 max range pen the pen chance, especially when the SU-85 gets its vet and goes to 264 min is a far better pen chance than 200/375(400/450). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-152 concrete piercing round13 Dec 2021, 16:43 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2021, 15:36 PMHannibal 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. ISU honestly already does slaughter any and all armor beneath elephant/KT/JT. However inorder to effectively beat the elephant in a heads up fight you require mark. The issue I have is its penetration at max is <50% against the JT, which just seems dumb. I had my ISU recently bounce against an OKW p4 and was surprised by that. Not that the ability needs to give it 400 penetration but its pen most of the time isn't what holds it back versus non-superheavies, it's the rate of fire and shell swap times. I don't think a +20% timed pen ability would really break the ISU any further than the current JT or elephant. At the very least the CPR should be considered for a change, as many people have agreed with it being mediocre. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-152 concrete piercing round13 Dec 2021, 01:07 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2021, 22:48 PMBlebfeesh You created this monster, now live with the consequences. In all seriousness, there's a fine line between making it useful and making it OP, the ISU does not need a 70 range stun shot for example, what Heavy TD would be balanced with that? And turning it into essentially a double tap shot is just the original problem of it erasing squads with extra steps. IMO the least gross option to make it less sad is to simply rework it as a timed ability that let's the ISU's rounds pierce thru shot blockers for like 30 seconds or so, a clone of the JT's ability. I slayed the monster you abooser apparently the AP shell's penetration is 200/230/260. I'd prefer a pen buff ability to manhandle the ele/JT from the front. That, I would gladly pay 60 muni for.

Thread: ISU-152 concrete piercing round11 Dec 2021, 17:35 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Dec 2021, 17:03 PMVipper 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 If you knew how to use the old concrete round the new one pales in comparison, so no, it was a massive nerf. The ability serves almost no purpose, is too expensive, and the cast time is too long to be practical. Please don't skew the perception of the ability by highlighting the increase in AoE distance max when the OHK radius dropped hilariously. Distance near at 1.25 went to 0.25... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-152 concrete piercing round11 Dec 2021, 16:45 PM After the most recent patch this ability went from being unknown and broken to practically useless. It has a huge casting time of ~4 seconds(?) and costs 60 munitions for very little benefit. The highest benefit of the shell is it boosts the ISU's penetration to ~~300 at max range~~ 1000 but hitting targets that are moving is practically impossible. IMO this ability should be reworked, potentially like the JT APCBC shells where it's a timed ability to shoot through obstacles. An increase in penetration timed ability could also be considered.

Thread: Lefh 10511 Dec 2021, 03:31 AM Do howitzer FoW penalties apply for each shell going out individually or when the barrage is cast? It can be quite difficult to hold recon planes up nowadays with how potent AA has become. In: COH2 Balance
