Thread: ISU-152 concrete piercing round13 Dec 2021, 09:24 AM JT - fires 5 shots at a distance of 95 with AOE better then one of the KT, costs 40 munies ISU - fires 1 shot with slightly better AOE at 70 range then the HE shot with increased penetration. Costs 60 munies ELE - fires a shot that completely stuns the vehicle. Cots 35 munies. Totally fair In: COH2 Balance

Thread: ISU-152 concrete piercing round12 Dec 2021, 15:01 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2021, 14:36 PMHannibal That's also what I mean. Against tanks, the ability is not really that helpful, because either there is no slow heavy on the field or you keep your ISU out of the way (JT/Ele). Situational at best, but the main use is probably infantry. Against infantry, you pay 60 mun for 10 more range, no scatter and an okay buff to OHK compared to the normal shell. All this is okay, but is it really worth that much? The normal shell really isn't all that different. A little bit less damage than the normal HE shell due to scatter, but against MGs, mortars and even PaKs, they perform similarly overall. The ability isn't outright bad, it is just really mediocre and boring due to it using a very similar AoE profile compared to the normal shell. It is basically 60 mun for shooting an improved HE shell through a wall. I actually had no idea how HE's and CPS aoe stacked against each other. Imo If you look it that way, then yes, ability becomes extremely situational compared to what it used to be. Also doesn't ISU have some kind of hard limit of how much models it can kill with one shot? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-152 concrete piercing round12 Dec 2021, 14:50 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2021, 14:17 PMVipper The ability went from: 75% change to penetrate an Elefant to 100% 80% change to penetrate a KT to 100% 67% change to penetrate a JT to 100% you are missing the fact that ability needs to land smack dab in the middle of the target to do the full 240 damage, since it is pure AOE damage compared to pen/accuracy rolls for AP round. Edit: or land a collision hit. But still there is a probability for shot to land "under the target" and deal less then 240 damage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-152 concrete piercing round12 Dec 2021, 14:09 PM I've decided to edit graph a bit to better represent current AI performance of the Concrete Piercing shot. Keep in mind that that the regular shot has 60 max range vs 70 and concrete piercing round has no scatter. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-152 concrete piercing round12 Dec 2021, 13:50 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2021, 13:40 PMVipper And there is context, I was replaying to a claim that the ability "practically useless" which you agree it is not. So in sort you confirm that you posted just to disagree with me. that's not what you've said tho Jump back to quoted post11 Dec 2021, 17:03 PMVipper Actually the changes where not a nerf but a buff... Main thing reduce was kill radius (2x reduce btw) It can now be used vs both hard and soft targets. As AT it is meant to be used vs JT/Ele Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2021, 12:45 PMKlement Pikhtura Also the ability used to have 300 far pen... but I guess having an ability to wipe squads and team weapons is less important then having more chance to deal 240 damage to KT, Ele and JT Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2021, 13:21 PMKlement Pikhtura My point was not that the ability was unjustifiably nerfed, but that calling that a buff was a humongous stretch. You still can wipe a relatively damaged and clumped squad, but that's about it. Again, my issue with the stupid statement not with the balance change, which I made clear in my previous comment. Also I never said it is useless now smh In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-152 concrete piercing round12 Dec 2021, 13:21 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2021, 12:56 PMKatukov honestly the ability would be real useful if it insta kills the pak-43 through walls, as the only place its being made on is behind buildings anyway I actually have no issue with the change. ISU was a toxic unit that forced Axis to pick heavy TDs more often in 2v2 resulting in much less fun gamemode overall. My point was not that the ability was unjustifiably nerfed, but that calling that a buff was a humongous stretch. You still can wipe a relatively damaged and clumped squad, but that's about it. Also back in the days ISU commanders had an IL2 bomb strike, that is a direct counter to static heavy weaponry pieces. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-152 concrete piercing round12 Dec 2021, 12:45 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2021, 12:38 PMVipper It is above 3 distance. And the AOE change was not the only one ability also become cheaper and now has increased penetration. The ability was a relic from when soviets has precision shot and the arty. Overall the change was good one. So you really think so smh. ISU could wipe Pak43 squad if you were lucky, now you can't do it. Also the ability used to have 300 far pen... but I guess having an ability to wipe squads and team weapons is less important then having more chance to deal 240 damage to KT, Ele and JT In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-152 concrete piercing round12 Dec 2021, 12:33 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2021, 10:39 AMVipper The shot has very little to no scatter and will land where it aimed. Changing it to vector ability would be a bad idea since the unit has no turret and has to rotate without adding much since it can still collide with target in its path. I want you to look at this and tell me honestly if you still think it was a buff: In: COH2 Balance
