Hey guys while I know there was some amazing tiger ages it doesnt cover the fact that the tiger and panther has serious reliability issues, or that the isu152 or is2 could one shot them just as easily.
There is a lot of inof and love for german vehicles cos they look cool and whermacht has a great militaristic aura to it but realistically their tanks were no better if not straight up worse than late war soviet ones.
At the end of the day, tanks like the tiger and panther did not have the sort of dominance in the east then they did in the west and the game should reflect that.
As for 1/2 the damage taken, I guess I mean it should be closer to vcoh with vehicle health - i like how tanks are a bit tougher in coh2 but I think its too much, all vehicles need to get a health reduction cos say a pz4 vs KV tank takes like 1 minute of firing..
At the end of the day, the soviets would always have more armor on the field, despite the losses. Referring to Russian armor, they were superior because they had the numbers. In terms of quality and performance, their German counterparts were always superior. If you mean by the end of the war, German armor was inferior to Russian armor, it was because the Germans had to produce tanks more cheaply and with a lack of parts. You can thank American bombers halting the production of many tank lines, and as Germany was losing land, their resources were getting low. A lot of German shells used Tungsten, which someone can elaborate for me, but i do know it is not common nor cheap, and the Germans at the end of the war were lacking materials like these to make their complex armor and grade A ammunition. Germans were more willing to abandon these tanks, and as the Russian captured them, they realized that the German's late war tanks were much weaker as their armor were made with cheaper alloys. An IS-2 did cost more to produce than a Tiger, but a Tiger was much better engineered. Needless to say the Russian's tank designs were innovative and cost-efficient,the Germans will always be known for designing the best vehicles. The Tiger's 88 cannon was practically the most efficient gun of the war. It had a great rate of fire, excellent accuracy, and was able to penetrate the front armor of most of the Soviet arsenal. Some even say the Tiger, and many other German tanks, were over-engineered. I certainly do not agree with these statements:
"but realistically their tanks were no better if not straight up worse than late war soviet ones.
At the end of the day, tanks like the tiger and panther did not have the sort of dominance in the east then they did in the west and the game should reflect that."
Straight up statistics show the superiority of German tanks based on their kill/death ratio. In CoH2,the panther currently is the bane of absolutely every Soviet tank, and its Blitzkrieg makes it escape every situation. I am in the boat that Soviet tanks need more AT in place for a little less, sometimes overkill, AI.
