when i finish the Tier 3 upgrade the voice hint says something like "... tanks and rocket artillery can now be called on the battlefield." and I also remember i have read somewhere that the panzerwerfer used to be in T3 and was swapped back in alpha or closed beta. I don't know why it got swapped and i asked myself this many times mainly when I face the soviet 120mm mortar (at 1CP!!!) and barely missing a counter. cause its a long way down to T4!

@UGBEAR:
Dude, you got any serious problems?
Don't see any purpose to get so personal and emotional.
For me you gave away any claim to be taken serious in this discussion with that kind of comment.

You know, I did change the example to the StuG, since i found it a more matching example but simply did forget to change the name and hitpoints cause I was in a hurry (life, you know, girlfriend, yelling etc). Post has already been edited.

pq said in a cast they wanted to buff the T34s AI (lower scatter) and the Pz4s armor fighting capabilities for its price (higher damage/shoot). If you like it or not, that's where it is going.

What I do feel though is slightly UP is the armor and/or guns penetration.

T34s armor is 115, which means penetration chances for german tanks of:
StuG: 127%
PzIV: 96%
Ostwind: 30%
Panther: 148%

... while the T34s gun with 75 penetration only has a chance of:
vs StuG: 47%
vs PzIV: 47%
vs Ostwind: 71%
vs Panther: 28%

So maybe increasing the guns penetration to 90 (+20%) and the armor to 140 (+20%) and the tables would look this.

Recieved penetration:
StuG: 100%
PzIV: 79%
Ostwind: 25%
Panther: 121%

76mm Gun penetration:
vs StuG: 56%
vs PzIV: 56%
vs Ostwind: 86%
vs Panther: 33%

It actually isn't that slight at all, might be even to much of a buff, but it adresses my main concern about the T34: it's gun being near useless vs other tanks and its sheet metal armor.

I can never be on pair with a PzIV in terms of direct fighting. Don't forget (like that bias boy UGBEAR seems to do) that the T34 is an intended infantry killing machine. I guess it should have a supportive role in armor fighting (Ram and some damage), but that's about it.

Big thanks for the input pq, much appreciated.
So I guess everything is as intended with those weapons.

The driver now has his observation device embedded in his skull, which doesn't increase his effectiveness any.

Omg, made my day.

AoE isn't always over 100%. This only applies for the inner splash damage cause of the 5x modifier for the Near radius.

Let's take the 222 20mm as example at the far end of the spalsh radius:
25 damage * 0.25 damage = 6.25
Hit chance Far 50% -> 3.125 damage average

Same goes for every other area effect weapon. Only the near damage means a death zone.

So I stick with it, just increasing the radius a bit and not changing the other values doesn't really increase the AI capabilties of said weapons at all in a manner anyone would notice it.

Btw, can you look for the thread your were talking about. Certainly want to read, cause I am freak and I love that kind of stuff!

EDIT:

remember that coh2stats doesn't grab all the values (especially for weapons), so there might be some missing figures there.

The stuff I posted is from the acatual game files I just extracted earlier this day. There is all data, directly from the game. It should be as accuerate as it ever can be.
Just want to pronounce that, cause I have the feeling it isn't really recognized.
