There you go! T-34/76 versus Panzer IV hull.



Okay, I´ll give you the 100m - it´s POSSIBLE to get the Panzer IV/StuG at 400 metres, although a bounce or non penetrating shot can occur. A hit to the turret could also be possible, but the StuG doesn´t have one and thus is a fairly hard nut to crack for the T-34/76. Explains the exorbitant huge losses of those T-34s from 42-44.

Let´s see the Panzer IVs/ StuGs armament in comparison versus the T-34s hull. That´s about 1km, a huge advantage in tank combat if you ask me. We conclude: The Panzer IV can engage the T-34/76s about 600 metres before it can even hope to get a penetrating shot back (if not hitting the weakspot at the turret). But include German optics and we have a winner.

And Panzer IV versus T-34 hull.




We should stop now about the realism.

I don't know what's worse the balance in COH2 or the fucking idiots who want it to be a WW2 simulator.

Panther was vastly superior to any T-34. It could knock them out from 2km frontally, while the T-34/85 couldn´t knock out the Panther from the front at all with regular ammunition.

Arguably Panzer IV and StuG were superior to the T-34/85 also as they could knock it out from about the same range and had better optics, reload time, crews, crew comfort, protection from infantry (skirts), communication, visibility from the vehicle and where used in the defensive. The 80mm front armor of the Panzer IV and StuG could only be penetrated at roughly 300 metres by the 76mm, while again the T-34 could be knocked out from much farther away.
