T90 needs a buff

[mj23007]

The T90 kills infantry way to slow, I would rather it cost alittle more and be closer to the ostwind in damage. Right now if you fight vetted infantry the t90 will literally do no damage. It is pathetic late game as an infantry killer.  leaving the russians very weak againt vetted squads.

Also the ISU 152 turret takes too long to detect turn its turret and fire.way too slow and right now its a complete waste of 1000 manpower.

T90 should be used in groups... and why should a 12.7mm MG do as much as a 30mm Cannon?


The 152 should not be unsupported don't send it in unsupported

[Tarkka-ampuja]

hgghg4 is right, with respect mj, the ISU-152 is easily the strongest tank in the game, for a reason, that doesn't mean it can take on a Tiger, King Tiger, Panther, and Jagdpanther all at once.

It can take them all on 1v1 and win, but when in scenario's like that, its' best to fall back, regroup, and perhaps send Infantary with Panzerschreks in first to distract and damage the tanks -- the ISU-152 can take each of them out in a few hits, but you need to have a very good head on you..

I'd suggest Red Flag Streky (I hope I spelt that right but I think I didn't) to take out Infantry, you shouldn't be sending in T90's for anything other then support against Aircraft IMO. (I think that's what it's for, I hope I havn't got my models mixed up, havn't played in a while).

the T-90 is an early game delay tactic against blobs... or if you are low on fuel and can't get the T34 (which can't hit the broad side of a barn... yes I have seen them miss the broad side of a barn)

[moonblood]

the T90 is my "oh shit pe spams ACs and inf halftracks" unit

and if you have 2 or more it supresses blobs very well

imho its good for 30fuel

and why should a 12.7mm MG do as much as a 30mm Cannon?

With my respect it is not quite right. It is the same when IS-2 has 122mm gun and King Tiger has 88mm gun...
12.7 has much better fire rate, it is important vs infantry.

T90 should be used in groups... - And that is absolutely right!!!

I would like to see a increase detetion range so it can kill snipers.

The problem I see with the T-90
is that late game they are not good against Vets and 1 of those squads will have a shrek.

They work great on maps with room to move. Run around and flank from rear or almost rear. Even in late game this helps alot.

Unfortunately, alot of EF maps have too many obsticles to manuver effectively.

[hgghg4]

T-90s are a support tank... not a front line assaulter... use 2-3 of them in conjunction with 3  T34/85s and an IS2...

[PSIHOPAT]

What front line?
In this game/mod don't exist that.
No real strong defensive positions or front line can be found.
Is just marked territories for showing the oner,and that can be changed very fast.

This is how must look an battlefield line

T-70 has purpose to destroy enemy armored car vehicle,and give light support for infantry,in small and mobile confrontations and/or flanking maneuvers.

T-90 MUST have role of scouting,killing snipers,infantry support,and taking off airplanes,because is no other AA unit for this job.

[Razz]

Well that would be very hard to do...

The Dev's have already stated there is a problem with music rights, so not hard rock for EF.

It´s not meant to KILL. It´s meant to SUPPRESS so your mortars can hit an immobile target. For a long time, the bane of the Soviet tank has not been a German tank, but Schreck squads. This is where the T-90 and a mortar combination come in.
