just change out the fuel to ammo transfer with the supply drop from the other OST air commander, problem solved.

We arent talking about a temporary stun here, were talking about immobilization. One arty shell and your tank would literally be dead! This would break games!

Like it has been said in the thread, it is hard to hit tanks, and also i am not saying 100% arty hit take and boom it is immobilized, although something should happen to the tank every time it is hit. I this it should be like 60% crew shock, 15% gun destroyed, 15% eng damage, and 10% immobilization.

And no it would not be "One arty shell and your tank would literally be dead!". It would be one luck or skilled arty shot would hit you tank in either you assault or theirs, it would got damaged in any of these ways, and this opened the door for your other units to take it out. Combined arms at its truest form.

This may be wrong, but i think you are to hung up on the idea that units should die like ever. This is not the case and one of the main reason that balanced is such shit right now is because units won't die. Panther, ober, VG, Para, and all heavy tanks are too good at just walking into things doing shit loud of damage and walking away. In order for this game to work units need to die easy to certain things (I.E tanks to at guns), and all factions need to have reliable counters to kill everything efficiently. This change to arty, all arty by the way would open the door to new game play that is not just tanks tanks tanks.

ML20 is actually ok against tanks, but it doesnt have that one shotting ability that the B4 has.

Arty shells immobilizing tanks would be gamebreaking. Id rather see arty shells stun tanks.

repiar speed on most engs, and american crews are more then enough to save tanks. And while yes ML20 has a skill shot like the b4 it is still a skill shot, that dose not one shot tank (not taking about b4). Give the enemy more then enough time to more or repair a the tank. I agree that it would take some testing but I don't fill it would be game breaking, but it would be META breaking. If you want to keep the meta.

You seem to not know much about anything in regards to how these vehicles actually performed. Let me be a little clearer. The is2 could not penetrate the king tiger frontally, in a few situations where king tigers with poor quality alloys were used the frontal plate of a king tiger would eventually crack after a few hits. This has nothing to do with actual intended performance or faulty design. Its more to do with indirect means such as low resources for the german war effort. Do you also blame tanks for the countries inability to provide fuel for it as well?

Is2s did not penetrate king tiger tanks under normal circumstances. For gods sake learn a little something about ww2 before you try to argue balance in terms of historical nature.

No no i know of the perform of these tank. And you pointed out that the IS2 on paper can pen the tiger 2 from the front on paper. But, in practice it did because of poor steel used to make the tank. This is what get under my skin about german WW2 fans (note i dont hate them ). It is just that people in general put too much stock into paper stats of WW2 german weaponry especially their tanks, which were in real like nothing more then a stupid and impractical dream of a made man, with zero thought into functionality, or strategic use of limited resources. Germans during world war really didn't need anything bigger then maybe a panther thought out the whole war. Which which other then the upgunned panzer 4 in my a opinion were far better tanks then the tiger 2. Granted the panther also broke down a lot. There were much better then tigers, ele, the Mous and other large waste of resources tank, arty like rail way arty, or super weapons that hitler thought would win him the war. But in the end these things just wasted already low resource that could of been used better.

This is one of the man reason that i have never and will never like any german faction in any WW2 game I play. This is not because they are german it is because any video game german faction celebrates these dream toys, which in my eyes are the main reason for the germany lose. While faction like the soviets and usf get punished for winning the war though better use of their resource making tanks that may not of been the best on paper, but were better tanks were it counted (Mobility, reliability, ease of production, and numbers to make a difference in the long run). I am not saying that these faction didn't make faulty weapon systems (soviet land ship anyone, or the Super USF tank), but they were smart enough to go back to weapons that worked.

I would also be careful about this statement "For gods sake learn a little something about ww2 before you try to argue balance in terms of historical nature", because your not that much better. 75% chance for a IS2 to penetrate a tiger 2 with shitty steel armor, and weld job is a easy way to bring some Historical facts into the game.

Is2 fired 2 rounds per minute, and had around 160mm of penetration. They would not penetrate king tigers frontally. Only due to poor quality metals did they fracture the armor plating. Tiger 2s were better than is2s.

So then there is no reason that my IS2 shouldn't be pening king tiger like 75% of the time right. RElIC make it happen.
