There was a thought that the Black Prince is needed as filling the gap and an analogue of the Tiger. The British don't need this, they have tank destroyers with a 17-pounder cannon. The Italians also do not have such an analogue for fighting Churchill, so let's give them a completely paper P43 bis which was only like a plywood model. But this is not necessary for the fight against Churchill, there is Semovente da 90/53. |
lmao historical accuracy is not why relics reputation took a hit
Yeah, tell me how the reputation has not suffered after the "Historically accurate" CoH2 single player campaign. |
doesn’t matter the BP is here to stay, relic isn’t going to nuke a unit that money and time was spent on because coh2.org, a small fraction of the community, threw a hissy fit
And to inflict one more reputational hit by declaring that historicity is important to us and then ignoring it. |
because the BP and the t64 are totally in the same league
It doesn't matter what league they are in, did they participate in the war? No, the discussion is closed. Only the fact of participation is important, the rest does not matter. |
A tank produced before the end of WW2 is a WW2 tank. Just not one that saw combat.
The bob semple is a WW2 tank too.
Then let's push into the Company of Heroes any tank that was created during the Second World War: T-44, IS-3, IS-6, ZSU-37, OSA-76. I also want to add an AS-44 assault rifle, RPD-44. After all, there is no logical hole here, right? Just think of the weapon created during the period and used is the same as participation. |
I don’t care about the technical aspects of units, it still fits the time period so it doesn’t really matter to me, relic can add the panther 2 and is3 for all I care. You’re acting like t64s are being added to the game
in fact, the addition of the Black Prince is tantamount to the addition of the T-64. Because these are two tanks not participating in the Second World War. Once again, taking a certain time period, you take its limitations. There are no Black Princes in WWII, In Operation Unthinkable? Yes, he might be there. |
you just described 60% of German tanks in coh1/2
Have you read the article about the Black Prince? It clearly states that it was not even planned to be sent to the war due to the problems of transporting such a heavy tank and the unreliability of the tank. Why was the T-44 not used in the war? It was a new tank that had childhood illnesses that was produced in Kharkov which was only recently liberated and its factory was virtually destroyed. If the T-44 were produced in Chelyabinsk, for example, its reliability would most likely be better, but the rate of production of the T-34-85, which is needed for the front, would suffer. The reliability of the T-44 could be corrected, it did it, he served well in the army, the reliability of the Black Prince could be improved without a chance, this tank used an outdated suspension that was already extremely overtightened. And the most logical thing that you can do with him is to quit and focus on the promising Centurion. |
this site isn’t representative of the whole player base, most people don’t care
In fact, no - the tank is extremely unreliable and constantly breaks down, so it is obvious that this tank was abandoned because it exhausted the possibilities of Churchill's design and focused on the promising Centurion. |
same point by the time the Germans decided to use the rockets a bridge head was already secured
The same point, tactical use, to destroy the bridge that supplied the Soviet group. |
they weren’t used actively in battle, by that time the Americans already had the bridge
Only you have a mistake, Soviet Soldiers were crossing the Oder. Vistula–Oder offensive. |
