ISU 152 - Drop the 'Juggernaut'

[thebomb]

Thank you devs for putting the change in I just played a game where I got to call in an ISU-152 and it was BADASS. TOTAL animal killer

Just a small suggestion: Drop the name "Juggernaut" from the doctrine page and call it 'Zveroboy' or 'Animal Hunter' as it was nicknamed by the Soviets. Would be a nice addition IMO to signify the 'animal hunting' of the tiger, panther, and elefant tanks. Juggernaut just sounds so lame

Copied shamelessly from Wikipedia:

"The ISU-152 could also operate as a tank destroyer. In this role the vehicle inherited the nickname Zveroboy ("animal killer") from its predecessor the SU-152, for its ability to kill German Tigers, Panthers, and Elefants. For anti-tank operations there was a separate BR-540 armour-piercing round and charge. The large shells meant that a low fire rate of only one or two shots per minute was possible, but the large 48.9 kg warhead, fired at 600 m/s, was devastating to the target, often completely destroying it. At close range it could rip the turret off a tank."

Its other nicknames were "Glorious Beast" and "Big Hunter".

In the Russian version it is named as Зверобой (Zveroboy).

I like the idea of calling it the animal killer or animal hunter. Wouldn't to hard to change, just a String or 2 in the mod an a title on the site (Im assuming, never worked on game programming before)

This should be an ability

I don't see the problem, its only the name of the doctrine choice, its not like we've renamed the ISU a 'Juggernaut'.

That would probably require remodelling every Axis tank in the game... not going to happen.

I know, a man can dream

Or he can go play 'Men of War'

There is no problem..it just sounds cooler that way - besides it's not that difficult to change anyway

True, brother is really into that game. Me not so much. CoH is just more fun to play, and the voice actors were actually paid in money, not high-fives

 I can find french and english speaking russian accent girls
 (and probably guys)
 - Also...
 The ISU-152 was liked by Soviet soldiers, as it provided an effective countermeasure to the German Tiger and Panther tanks. They described it as "Nekrasivo, no spasibo!" ("Not pretty, but thanks!").
 
 How about renaming the doctrine ability :
 Call in : ' Ugly, but l337 ' ?

Now why would we need that?

[Loupblanc]

 In-game voices. I know you are using russian 'american'
 but perhaps, some references to 'Shermans' could be
 re-voiced?

[BurroDiablo]

Maybe at a later date. Right now we are focussing solely on getting the mod out. Remember, when the mod is released that is the not the finished product, we will be preodically releasing patches that add more and more to mod, probably including custom sounds, extra vehicles, rebalances etc.

[Loupblanc]

 Awesome I like that. Like typical RelicCOH/WOW, thus.
 First version, eternal refining via patches.
 
 I work in linguistics (French Canadian) and work and am
 friends with plenty of Russian girls (Who know guys). So
 just felt like tossing that in there in-passing

 OH! In the french forums, someone did a TECH/TIER
 tree image. Which I have not seen on the english side.
 Someone feel like adding this to the guide, perhaps?

 It looks pretty good. It's even been out for a few months,
 so...

 Only focusing on getting the mod out?
 Eh, then PLEASE release it now, and balance it on the go?

 ... I had to give it a try

[bastex]

we are doing some "bug finding" atm and balance (those 2 go quite good together )

btw could we go back to topic ?
