Good. The strongest and most advanced japanese tank had 25mm frontal armor(Less then a T-70.......) and a tiny 47mm gun which couldnt even penetrate shermans or T-34 tanks.
Japan also had no real anti tank weapons.
They had generally no cool tanks like Tiger, T-34, or anything legendary. There Units would simply be completely boring.
Ist not a surprise that japanese tanks are completely unknown for anyone unlike german tanks like Tiger or Panther.
All the interesting stuff the japs(OMG i said "Japs" i m a terrible racist know. but calling the germans in the game "Krauts" is completely ok i guess for relic) had were on the japs navy. They would simply not fit into CoH2.
Als caster bist du teilweise eine Katastrophe. Hab mir ein paar casts von dir angeschaut und was du machst ist teilweise kompletter Schwachsinn. Du drückst die maus auf die map und fährst damit wild und hektisch im Kreis rum so dass man als Zuschauer von den kämpfen nichts mitbekommt. Wenn du den Bildschirm bewegen willst.....dann benutz gefälligst die arrowkeys der Tastatur anstatt alles total chaotisch mit der maus zu machen. Ausserdem konzentrierst du dich auf nichts. du kannst nicht mal 2 sekunden still halten sondern bist dauernd nur wild über der map am scrollen so das man von den kämpfen immer nur winzige Fragmente mitbekommt und auch alle Highlights verpasst. Da waren teilweise riesige panzervorstöße bei den casts und du hast davon nix gezeigt, hast nur gelabert und hast den Bildschirm pausenlos mit der maus auf der map sinnlos hin und her gezogen und deine üblichen Kreise gefahren anstatt die kämpfe zu zeigen.
Jeder halbwegs intelligente caster benutzt die arrowkeys, weil die Bildschirm bewegungen da wesentlich flüssiger und weniger hektisch wirken als mit der maus.
Da bin ich jedenfalls von castern wie ImperialDane eine ganz andere Professionalität und Qualität gewohnt.
Vor allem das hier:
Die reinste Karusselfahrt mit dem Bildschirm rumgescrolle......
In WW2 the soviets lost a total of 1235 IS-2 tanks against the german army. In just about 1 year in Service. So i dont think that the IS-2 was THAT godlike many seem to believe.
That illustration is likely false. The KT hull was never ever penetrated in the war. And there it says that from more than a km away it was penetrated? I call bullshit.
People see the IS-2 and think it´s a godlike tank. They however like to ignore the horrendous flaws it had.
Errors such as piss-poor accuracy due to the gun having to be leveled to its original position in order to reload. After ever shot the gun had to be leveled and aimed at the target again and again.
Errors such as an increased reload time, giving it less than half the rate of fire of normal tanks.
Frontal armor flaws on the early version (drivers hatch), which resulted in Panzer IV and StuGs fighting the early version effectively from the front.
A gun unsuitable for long range combat. The trajectory was bent due to the weight of the shell.
The IS-2 was hopelessly outclassed by the King Tiger, which of course had its own flaws. However in a regular engagements the 88mm was more than sufficient to defeat IS-2s even at 2km.
Yep.
Here are a few interesting combat examples of the King Tigers and Tigers:
