I understand, if INGAME they will be undermodelled, and it will be correct in case of balance.

But I DONT understand, why in official manual You call ML-20 and PM-120 as "not accurate, with low rate of fire..." e.t.c. when THEY WERE accurate with high fire rate IN REAL! WHot for all this LIE? :)

Because having a really powerful and really accurate mortar and howitzer makes the game unbalanced, all units need pros and cons  :)

For christ sake, go get your hair done...
Guide is old, needs to be updated... we already have a model for the fire base and its an M-30 model.



No DSHK on the Turret of the IS-2 because we have no way to fit one JUST YET... and no (working) rear MG's either because there's not way to make them fire accurately (Mgs can only fire forward I think).

 - I think his issue is with innacurrate DESCRIPTIONS/NAMES :)

You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity

Again - I AGREE to UNDERMODELL some weapen to make good balance.

But I am against insuilt words in name of great weapon of victory.
Following post is 100 % understood my idea:

BurroDiablo -

THX for the news, M-30 is an exellent howitzer, it is still in use of some training regiments. One of the best howitzers in WW II.

About reward firing lmg in IS-2 and KV-2 - its sad, but if it is really impossible - that ok, no probs.

But according IS-2 - would You add an "Ability" - "12,7mm DShK hmg gunner)?

If we ever figure out how, I think we'd love to add a DSHK upgrade to the IS-2 :)

Its just occurred to me that the German SDKFZ 251 (Wehr Halftrack) has a rear gunner that shoots backwards... hmmm

 Eh, exactly! Wehr Half Track has rear firing MG! ;)
 Now you know where to find the code!!! :D

 As for top MG, er, enough tanks have top forward
 firing MG that it'd be easier to slap one on the IS2 ;)

 Hey, IS2 is about only unit in-game with the T70, etc
 who doesn't have an upgrade!!! ;)

 (Please give cage armor to T34 damn you) :)
