[1.501] Main Guns nerfed or Armor buffed?
« on: September 05, 2011, 01:44:18 PM »
OK,this time i used search and i couldn't find any thread about this issue in 1.501.

I was playing a game vs a hard cpu, wehr against russians. they deployed a T70 light tank,i had no fuel,so i got a ostwind to blast him to oblivion. but surprise, it got his ass handed to him! the ostwind sometimes didn't even penetrate the T70 rear armor?! till now light tanks like M8 were no big deal for a ostwind. better yet,the T70 had a good chance of penetrating the front armor of ostwind,which is stupid since it's a Panzer IV chassis.

Later that day i tried US-Army vs wehr. they got StuG,so i clled in a pershing. But the StuGs front armor reflected some of the pershings rounds! i didn't even know that the pershings main gun could be stopped by anything lighter than a tiger or at least panther??

maybe i just oversaw it in earlyer games, but it surprised me pretty much

Balance discussions are considerate ONLY AND EXCLUSIVELY in "HumanPlayer vs HumanPlayer (1v1 - 2v2)" matchs.

Skirmishes are not argument of balance discussions.

fine, but i don't think that the penetration-values change during Multiplayer/oneplayer, or do they? i don't know

T-70(light tank) will lose vs an Ostwind("medium" tank/Pz. IV variant), seems ok to me.

All the medium and heavy tanks have penatration stat of their armor, all of them have a small chance to "reflect" the shot mostly in the front.

No, it doesn't.  The guy's story is credible; Ostwind will lose to T70 for some reason.  I've had this happen to me too.

@Yauz
Time to dig in to the stats :P. Let's check T-70 vs Pz. IV armoured vehicles.

EDIT:

T-70 vs Ostwind -> same than Stuart vs Ostwind but deals -10 damage less than Stuart.

Ostwind vs T-70 -> same than Ostwind vs Stuart but have 0.85 acc instead of 1 like the Stuart.

StugIV armor is heavier than PZIV armor (same chassie, lower profile). Its similar  to churchills armor but has less hitpoints. Even PzIV has a slight chance to bounce Pershing shells off.
Get the tank depot gun upgrade (Yes it works on Shermans and the Pershing) and your trouble will be over.

@Paciat
ok thanks i'll try the main gun upgrade, that StuG is one nasty son of a gun ;)
so the t70-armor is simillar to the stuart? well that explains a lot^^
oh and one question, the description of the T90 says something about "fighting the german airforce" (at least it does in the german version), so is the T90 able to attack henschel in the game? i didn't had the chance to test it recently

It is able to fight aircrafts, the T-90 was a SPAAG prototype as a variant of the T-70.

Meine Übersetzung lügt nicht ;)
