If only Su-76 had to fight a T-70.

Now do the same test 100 times and you will see that this RNG. Su-76 has simply better accuracy.

Su-76 is simply a cost efficient unit.

puma? well..its its not that really god hunting unit like you want to tell us.

I haven't read through the whole topic but where did we start to compare the SU76 to the Jagdtiger lol?

Su76 is imo fine. Still has nice penetration, Muni cost on barrage brings consistency with the Zis and makes the SU76 much less a Jack of all Trades.

The Su76s biggest flaws are its low HP and the lack of a turret. It shares these problems with the StuG that has more HP but also the same mobility issues all TDs in the games have, while also being more expensive and lacking a barrage ability. Meanwhile the Target Weakpoint makes it better for hunting tanks.

I personally would place the SU76 as a "Light Tank Hunter" on the same level as e.g. the Luchs is a Light AI Vehicle. It is very powerful in the mid game but might go under in the late without proper vet.

A properly supported SU76 (mines / AT nades) can screw a Panzer IV which is double the cost and way more drastic to lose than a 76 could ever be. Also, the SU76 eats 3 PaK shot and dies. This is a very good case of the Rock/Paper/Scissor sheme of the game. This is balanced. Making the Su76 to be reliably able to take out PaKs without exposing itself for free(!!) is not.

There is a great difference between saying that a unit sucks and that it does not "hard counter" light vehicles.

Puma has worse accuracy than SU-76 and you are not complaining about it, or saying it sucks.

I have explained many time that imo TDs should be separated in categories like "medium tank Destroyers" and "heavy tank destroyers" with MTD having good chance to hit but low to penetrate and HTD having low chance to hit but good to penetrate.

So it is my opinion that SU-76 should have its accuracy increased, its penetration reduced, the barrage moved to vet ability, its XP value increased and its vet bonuses revisited so that they increase its penetration. That does not mean that I agree that the SU-76 actually sucks now.
