It's not a massive boost, it is 30% more damage. Only really useful on heavy tanks that now might take 1 less hit to kill.

really? p4: 640hp * 0.7 = 448 theoretical hp with mark target. thats 3 hits instead of 4 with every 160 dmg weapon (shermans, t34s, su85 etc). its 2 shots instead of 3 with 240 dmg (isu, m36)

and thats the problem. while penetration would enable you to score more hits that actually penetrate. dmg increase simply negates a huge potion of the vehicles HP, which imo doesnt belong in a game, where unit preservation is such a big deal.

a simple example: if 3 x 160 dmg vehicles shoot at and penetrate a p4, that is marked, itll die instantly. usually youd have 1 more hit to escape, which gets denied by mark target. no other ability ingame reduces a vehicles theoretical hp like that. this gets worse since crits are tied to hp and hence occur more often on vehicles that have been marked (in this example the 3rd shoot could crit main gun/heavy/abandon instead of the 4th, too)

edit: to mention a few other (actually used) vehicles:

Panther (both factions) 800 -> 560 hp
Tiger 1040 -> 728 hp (3 jackson shots and a scratch on the paint and its gone... instead of 5)'
Luchs puma Stugs 400 -> 280
King/Jagd/Sturm(for the fun of it) 1280 - 896

if you dont see why thats wrong, i cant help it. everyone is aguing "lol if you lose a marked vehicle its cause you didnt react, etc" when waht mark target does is reduce the time you have to react at all.

again: 3 sources with 160dmg cause damage to a p4 that is maked = death
with pen-increase instead of dmg-increase they would have to reload for 1 additional hit and actually give the p4 a chance to react

pew. is it okay to be not constructive if OP was?
anyways... playing 4v4... complaining about spam
still. congrats to that #1's. could never do that since every single 3v3 / 4v4 i played reminded me why i usually dont play them

damn. here i was thinking i am biased.
but everybody crying "stahp nurf" in here is way worse.

in my humble opinion changing the ability from increasing damage to increasing penetration would actually help nondoc vehicles like the t34/76 ,which really struggles at penetrating anything (tankwise).
at the moment it only "buffs" vehicles that have the ability to penetrate fairly well already and for those vehicles i consider it a tad too strong. in 1v1 it totally fucks up any armored engagement because of the added dmg value.

and the dmg increase is just ridiculous. if u seriously think that +50% damage was okay before and that 30% is a overnerf, i have no interest in talking to you any further.
i am biased, but i still like to have a game where i feel challanged so im not all about nerfing allies/buffing axis.

i do agree there are problems with KTs/JTs in bigger games, but as romeo mentioned 10 000 times before: one particularly imbalanced unit/ability does NOT justify the implementaion/persistence of another...
i wish they had changed the JT the way they initially planned to... same with ISU... or just remove them completely (ele too).
i think the max range(s) of vehicles should not have a huge gap like that. 40-60 is fine, but 40-85... but i digress

TL: DR much bias. pen>dmg for better meta

im with romeo on this. uping the damage is too much imo (besides it being nonesense). an increase in armor pen vs marked targets could be a solution

Lies in this thread so far:

well, if being unaware of a "recent" fix is lying to you, you caught me.

i was wrong. happens quiet a lot these days
