Profile of Raviloli

I would really like to find or hear something about PIAT's exept their wiki page. I wonder, why they are spring-loaders? Even germans in final periods of war had AT rockets literally everywhere, but Britain is still using giant springs to take down tanks.

Forgotten Weapons did a video on the PIAT relatively recently, you should check it out.

It has come to my attention over the last half a year of playing this game that the ISU-152 is overlooked and overly expensive for its performance in comparison to other soviet heavies. I might just be retarded and something like this has been tried before, and I have heard of it being overpowered before its ammo selection was split into AP and HE.

What I'd like to suggest is to build on top of that division, the HE performance against infantry is perfectly adequate, and while the ISU-152 (probably, idk lol) has a claim on being the most powerful infantry-wiping tank in the game, its bad mobility and casemate makes it an inefficient infantry destroyer (except on lane maps, maybe.)

The AP performance is what needs some looking at, and I think it should deal 300 (maybe even 320) damage like the Elefant and Jagdtiger, it makes absolutely zero sense that a 152mmm shell does less damage than a shell of nearly half its diameter (and definetely less than half its size in terms of shrapnel and explosive). This could also help it in deterring other vehicles from rushing it, as it stands it is more expensive AT than 2 SU-85's, with only the firepower of 1.5 (in terms of damage output, but it's less than that considering two SU-85s can fire off 4 shells with 2 more nearly loaded by the time the ISU can fire its second shell.)

TL;DR: Buff AP damage because it can't even deter a Pz 4 atm.

In terms of cost, i have not done the sum. But i dont think you can get out 2 grens vs 1 penal that fast? So it is not enough to offset the first encounter?

You need to look at the bigger picture, penals are more expensive and slower to produce, they're a strategic risk in 1v1 and 2v2 to a lesser degree, but there is more to Ostheer than just grens. Penals don't have an answer to a well-placed MG and soviet T1 is a lot more gimmicky when it comes to clearing out MGs, you're meant to use that to your advantage and not go "HURR DURR MUH KRUPPSTAHL INFANTRY AREN'T OBERSOLDATEN"

Yeah, their vet 1 is just a reduction in grenade cooldown and they just so happen to be the only soviet infantry with access to a smoke grenade, it allows them to spam normal grenades too (but eats through munis faster than yo momma)

When you see smoke like that, just molest them with vehicles and explosives, since they come in at CP 2 you should be able to field a 251 or 222 soon after and they have zero AT capability
