I don't know what's up with this, I guess maybe a byproduct of the LERP Relic added in for penetration, but I think it has really messed up the SU-85. I have a replay of game where my SU-85's failed over and over again to penetrate tiger. I'm not talking just a few shots, I had vet3!!! SU-85 at max range beating on a tiger and it looked like maybe 1 of 5 or 6 rounds penetrated for SOME damage, I don't even think it was full damage. This wasn't just 1 time freak occurance, it happened several times in the game. I had unusually good luck kiting armor in this game with SU-85 and shot off a bunch of shells from max range. I think 25% or less penetration is really dumb for a tank destroyer! I've also been noticing that it misses a LOT. SU-85 needs to be good at wrecking armor, it's the only thing it can do. Even when IS2 had enough armor to make elefant rounds fail to penetrate, it wasn't this bad, it was maybe 1 out of 2 would fail. It's my opinion that the SU-85 is a great destroyer, but broken vs Tiger. Tiger needs armor decrease or SU-85 gun needs a penetration increase, the gap is too large with this matchup (at max range).

penetration on puma is pretty good, I was surprised the first time I got ambushed by small packs like this too, I didn't expect them to do a good job penetrating heavy armor. Trying to take out a tiger with a similar pack of t70's just wouldn't work, even from the back. The ISU needs it's scatter at max range toned down some. It's reload is painfully slow, but with each shot blasting a squad away from max range, it's really unfair. Even with ISU costing so much, it's really bad. It should be missing some of those longer range attacks.

I have a very strong feeling, based on my knowledge of network principles that measurments are not being completed correctly. I am east coast american and my latency is small enough that it does not have an effect on my abilty.

If you ping the battle server, that gives you only the data regarding the round trip time for the data to travel. So why can your latency be higher than your ping? Other variables include things like the method of processing the information in the game in a network environment. How many servers are there? You can imagine that the server will likely add a delay dynamically based upon it's load at the time. If I understand the way the game works, it cannot proceed with processing new events until all data from each player is received, meaning that your game still runs at the speed of the slowest player. The response may also grow as the game goes on, with the increasing size of the data transmitted (although the data is of a small size, it might be possible that it cannot be sent all at once and that part of it will need to be resent, such a scenario would result in the doubling of your ping or more).

That said, I'll try to pay extra attention to it, I was also frustrated with long online delays, but recent changes they made in the software as well as the addition of the battle servers has really made the experience pretty good for me. I'm not suggesting you be ignored, but reporting that it's not the case for all players, myself included in that.

I could be wrong on this, but I'm starting to notice that while all other tanks are seeing really bad accuracy on the move (both Germana and Soviet), the panther doesn't seem to be suffering as much and is able to land hits reliably on the move when facing off against armor.

That's awesome they get to keep their losses though
