Profile of Strummingbird

Update:

Rotation speed and turret rotation speeds of all vehicles on the list added. For vehicles without turrets, their gun traverse speed and maximum arc have been added. Other miscellaneous things- SU76 and KV2 barrage mode stats mostly filled out, and Ostwind anti-air percentages added (17% chance per shot at vet 0 and 1, 24% chance per shot at vet 2 and 3 to kill a plane)

Record holders: Fastest turret traverse goes to the Ostwind, at 120. Slowest goes to the Jagdtiger, which traverses its gun at ... 6 Honorable mention to the KT, the vehicle with the slowest actual turret, at 12. Fastest rotating vehicle is the Luchs, and the slowest unsurprisingly the Jagdtiger (again).

You might want to look into bringing the EF tank destroyer's accuracy up to par with the WFA TDs, specifically, the SU85, Elefant, and Stug. ISU was the only one to receive a higher accuracy value at the same time it had it's shells split into HE and AP rounds post-WFA.

Since we have available a repository of stats and a very helpful veterancy guide, I decided to put two and two together to make a spreadsheet of (most) vehicles and how, exactly, the veterancy buffs affect them at every vet level, 1-3 for OH, SU, and USF, and 1-5 for OKW.

Here's the spreadsheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kzY9-UwZSQ19_EL3LTZoBHjMCwD1ZaDrEtedjKap4wM/edit#gid=110608506

Generic stats are in grey, 'offensive' stats in red, 'defensive' in green, and others in blue. Miscellaneous stuff like Command Panther aura and vet 1 abilities are right at the end. Every time a veterancy bonus affects the unit, the particular statistic is shaded in darker.

Example:


For example, the Puma has a 33% damage buff applied once at vet 3, hence the moderate shade of red. The M4C has two reload buffs of -20% and -30% reload time at vet 2 and 3 respectively, hence the dark red.

Disclaimer- I don't know how exactly the cooldown/reload/aimtime works for flak vehicles with multiple shots per reload- the numbers for those are timed directly from the game, and are approximations. I also haven't checked the values for the barrage modes- KV2 and SU76 specifically, so that is missing some data- and vehicle and turret rotation base speeds I do not have, so I only included how veterancy modifies those, not the actual values. Same goes for the kv8. i'll fill those in whenever I get round to finding the values out. Lethal AOE is just the radius at which the weapon does more than 80 damage.

Armored cars, halftracks, and artillery will probably come later- machinegun weapons don't fit on this table nicely.

Lastly, do please point out any mistakes if you spot them, and i'll rectify the errors whenever I can.

You won vs Strummingbird?

He won? I wasn't aware of that

Two things:
Starting positions for the two maps- any thoughts about fixing them down? I'd recommend crossing south for axis, north for allies- though the map is mostly symmetrical beyond some oddities with the northeastern forest area, so it shouldn't matter much.

More importantly, faymonville north for ostheer, and south for OKW- because the badly-placed fence in front of the southern base is no issue for OKW (truck can crush that) but plays hell with an army reliant on support weapons. USF and Soviet aren't nearly as affected by the fence and can probably play north or south with little major issues.

Secondly- I presume playing both games of a set on the same map is permitted? just to make things a little more fair, if participants agree to it.
