Oh boy yet another one of these threads, boy they sure are fun...

Here's the way I see it. The panther, jackson and jp4 are all in a good spot. The su85 just sucks, literally the worst tank in the game. Contrary to popular belief, and the ignorance in this thread, the Jackson has basically the same chance to penetrate the front of a tiger, without vet ability popped, as the panther has to penetrate the front of an is2. The Jackson has a twenty range advantage over the tiger, the panther only a 10 range advantage. At vet 2 is2s just dominate Panthers because they have the same range as Panthers. Jacksons never suffer from this.


For those that are saying that Jacksons are slow, go look at the stats. If Jacksons are slow, then so are Panthers, which no one ever complains about... Both these tanks have amazing mobility.

The reality is that all mediums suffer from a major disparity in power level when compared to heavies, which is one of the main reasons I think we see so many heavies, and this applies to both sides of the coin. P4s are just as helpless and terrible against is2 as t34 76 are against tigers.

But yeah, there are a lot of misinformed myths being perpetuated in this thread, and honestly I much prefer allied armor because of the insane rate at which it can wipe squads, but maybe that's a problem with smaller axis squad sizes. But properly managed allied armor is extremely potent, except su85 that crap sucks.

You need 1 Stuka to decrew and decrewing vetteg B-4 is equal to losing it.
Off map frim Jadg doctrine can wreck B-4 if it's builded near point.
You can use also Falsch or Jaeger on many maps to decrew it.
All you need to do as Axis is to veto some maps like crossing woods where B-4 is base can rape Axis base.
But on the other hand Train and Steel (I belive it's name in english) is a map that allows you to use falsch very efficiently and B-4 has to be build outside of the base - at least first line of points.

B-4 buff is not needed.

How is decrewing the B4 equal to losing it?

Losing the B4 means you're out 600 manpower if you were ever to rebuild it, not to mention the time it takes to save up that amount/actually build the gun.

Decrewing the B4 costs you a whopping 60 manpower assuming you recrew it with Cons which should happen 100% of the time. That's literally ONE TENTH the cost of having to build a new one. And I'm pretty sure the firing cooldown resets if you recrew it (although maybe they've finally fixed this bug by now? works with all howis if I remember correctly).

The fact of the matter is that if you do not have the only reliable answer (stuka dive bomb) to the B4, you're pretty much screwed. I'm not saying you WILL lose to game... but it is going to be extraordinarily difficult and certainly not in your favor. This pigeonholes Axis into having a Stuka dive bomb as part of their team composition because other off-maps will not guarantee a fully destroyed B4. It is just poor design when one faction is majorly pushed into countering a doctrinal unit with a doctrinal ability (at least in my opinion - the same could be said about Mark/T34/85s/Is-2s being preferable to T34/76s or even Su85s when having to fight Tigers - it just isn't a fight that the non-doctrinal Soviet armor can keep up in). Sure the Jaeger Armor commander is one of my favorites because I like the 251 mines and spotting scopes, but do I want to play that commander every. single. damn. time. that there is a B4 in the Soviet load out and Shocks show up on the field? Nope.

Or the fact that a vet 3 B4 can literally one-shot a King Tiger. Completely insane for one unit to be able to do that much damage with no way of the opponent reacting to it.

Eva still mad he wasn't allowed into RtN.

And still dodging 1v1/2v2 call-outs as usual.

Would be a waste of my time anyways, I could blindfold my cat and my cat would still beat Eva in a 1v1.

lmao, nah you're just german fanboys.

Yup. That's why I play both factions and participate in tournaments.

Nice to see you're still dodging my 1v1/2v2 requests despite constantly trying to talk shit.

Typical Evanoob. You should probably try an easier game. Like tic-tac-toe online or something.

BTW speaking of Whermaht 81mm mortar. Please watch this Imperial Dane's cast and see what it does now.


I felt sorry for US guy.

Half-watched the first 32ish minutes. From what I saw the Ost mortar wiped a single rifle squad with 3 of 5 men remaining at what looked to be like less than 20% hp overall - that's not exactly an impressive feat. Ihitto had plenty of time to retreat that squad and didn't even need them where they were.

It got a nice shot on some guys entering a house, but still didn't wipe the entire squad - they only died because of the flame crit (not the mortar's fault).

Other than that it did a good job bleeding, overall it seemed fine to me - not a single full hp/full model squad down the drain in an instant - it is a good example of what a mortar should be. It punished a low hp squad being greedy and clumped up on top of another squad. It kept people out of houses and it bled slowly but surely.

Then we get to the part where m00nchild loses the *full* hp vetted mortar with a full crew from a single tank shot. Then the next tank shot wipes out his full hp, fully crewed MG42 - also in one shot.

I did feel bad for some of the other RNG the ihitto suffered, like all the flame crits on his assault engineers (I've also been asking for flamers to not randomly explode the way that they do - just another example of bad RNG).

Maybe I missed some stuff - I wasn't watching with 100% of my attention.
