Breakthrough Doctrine- Mechanics

wrong thread

After your game against Dennis i checked the IS3 stats. Pak and schrecks penetration against IS3 rear armour needs to be normalized to IS2 rear armour niveau. Your pak mostly bounced.

I am glad to hear that, but i think its Spacesidearmor is to strong

Does the H38 cannon upgrade have the same penetration against IS# as it does against pershing?

I believe the Hotchkiss upgrade penetrates everything but considering how little dmg it does, I dont think it matters.

Maybe a little buff like allowing the use of Tank Destroyer AP against the Soviets is in order.  BtW I had a TH take out a king tiger  tother day. 57 exp at one shot.

APCR doesnt effect Hotchkiss nor dos it effect Panzer IV. They are meant to be light AT/AI(anti infantry) depending on how u use it. Well Hotchkiss has arty so there's that.

Shark correct me if I'm wrong but then H35 cannon upgrade converts the French Letter opener from  an area effects AI weapon to a penetration effect AT weapon. In which case there is no reason why AP couldn't be applied.

Even though this is the wrong thread:

You are reffering to the APCR ability in the TD doctrine right? That only applies to specific vehicles and even if it did apply to the Hotchkiss I dont see why it would need it. The long barrel upgrade already allows it to penetrate everything so giving it further penetration is pointless. Plus its not like APCR gives it a dmg increase AFAIK. I could be wrong about that one.

And plus I dont think (or at least consider) the Hotchkiss is an area of eff weapon anyways. It kinda meh when it comes to killing infantry. Not like the PIV which has shells that kinda explode
