Red Army Suggestions / Re: Mistake with light tanks T-70 and T-90

« on: January 25, 2010, 07:58:32 AM »

Remove T-90? Are you nuts? Best Soviet unit, and I hope I don`t need to mention there were only 4 (four) Sherman Crocodile tanks build EVER, witch didn`t stop Relic "Mass Produce" it for US faction. T-70 could get some improvement, dough.

Relic uses the M4A3R3 as the "Crocodile", although the Crocodile was used on the Pacific theater, and the M4A3R3 on the European theater.  Obviously, this is due to naming conventions only.

There were more than 4 M4A3R3s produced.

Balance Discussion / Re: Russian MOtars Op

« on: January 24, 2010, 05:52:17 AM »

I liked, how it is made in game. Long to replace/prepare for shooting, but dreadly powerfull against enemy soldiers

and fortifications. Had a exellent range, and average (or even bad) accuracy (german infantry pack usually hit only by 3rd-4th shot).

Modellers - it need to add original model, because You use now a model of german GrW34? I was amazed, when saw a crew member, who pick up a 250 kg!!! mortar only with 1 hand!!! and run like rabbit

For whinners, who cry about overpowerness:

It is Strategy video game, but it supposed to be WW II RTS! Dont forget about it, when You are talking only about balance.

As You could see, PM-38 (DAMNED IT IS NOT M1938!!!) is UNDERMODELLED, because it has very bad accuracy in game.

Compare to Ordnance ML 3-inch mortar,81.2mm (UK)
-PM-38 is MUCH heavier (235kg vs 51kg), and because of this longer reload and prepare-for-shooting time.
-PM-38 has MUCH wider maximum range of fire (6,000m vs 2,560m)
-PM-38 has much heavier and deadly HE shell (16kg vs 3.5kg), anti-personnel effecy was dreadly powerfull.
-PM-38 has lower rate of fire (10-15 rpm vs 20 rpm)

Compare to GrW 34, 81,4 mm (Germany)
-PM-38 is MUCH heavier (235kg vs 62kg), and because of this longer reload and prepare-for-shooting time.
-PM-38 has MUCH heavier and deadly HE shell (16kg vs 3.5 kg), anti-personnel effecy was dreadly powerfull.
-PM-38 has lower rate of fire (10-15 rpm vs 15-25 rpm)
-PM-38 has MUCH wider maximum range of fire (6,000m vs 2,400m)

M2 Infantry Mortar, 60mm (US)
-PM-38 is MUCH heavier (235kg vs 19kg), and because of this longer reload and prepare-for-shooting time.
-PM-38 has MUCH heavier and deadly HE shell (16kg vs 1.33 kg), anti-personnel effecy was dreadly powerfull.
-PM-38 has lower rate of fire (10-15 rpm vs 18 rpm)
-PM-38 has MUCH wider maximum range of fire (6,000m vs 1,815m)

Compare to M1 mortar, 81mm (USA)
-PM-38 is MUCH heavier (235kg vs 61.5 kg), and because of this longer reload and prepare-for-shooting time.
-PM-38 has MUCH heavier and deadly HE shell (16kg vs 3kg), anti-personnel effecy was dreadly powerfull.
-PM-38 has lower rate of fire (10-15 rpm vs 18-30 rpm)
-PM-38 has MUCH wider maximum range of fire (6,000m vs 3,000m)

Compare to M2 4.2-Inch Mortar, 107mm (USA)
-PM-38 is MUCH heavier (235kg vs 151kg), and because of this longer reload and prepare-for-shooting time.
-PM-38 has BETTER rate of fire (10-15 rpm vs 5 rpm)
-PM-38 has wider maximum range of fire (6,000m vs 4,050m)
-PM-38 has heavier and deadly HE shell (16kg vs 11kg), anti-personnel effecy was dreadly powerfull.

Compare to GrW 42, 120mm (Germany)
It was a 100% full copy of PM-38, and had all the same. But Appeared, when Soviet army already had  PM-43 improved

mortar.

Do you mean this PM-38 mortar?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PM-38

Because if so, you are completely wrong on everything you are saying about it.
