If its up to me i would not even add king tiger … but we better put some line before we have Maus and T 95 other doom turtles in the game…
Heavy tanks simply need to be restricted to 1 per team just like fighter/bombers. It would open up the space for TDs and medium tanks more ingame, not have constant spam of KV1/Tiger boys everywhere.
Yes that’s why i don’t play BR V so much do to Super Pershing’s and King Tigers KV 1 is also a bit annoying but its gun at least is not a laser but when i go to BR V heavy tanks its just ridiculous same few tanks are being played King Tiger , Super Pershing and Ho-Ri when i go to BR II its much more interesting
Even from a historical perspective
Panther production: 6,000
Tiger 1 production: 1,347
T-34 production: 84,000
KV production: 5,200
IS1-2 production: 4,000
It should not be close, heavy tanks should be maximum 50% of vehicle force, never more.
There definitely needs to be a line drawn. If it were up to me it woulda stopped at medium tanks, as they would all be able to handle both each other and be killed by available infantry countermeasures without issue, requiring more skill and awareness to play. I honestly think hitting JT/IS-3 levels is not a good idea because their armor and firepower is so strong. But, it’s not up to me.
Unfortunately the WT crowd just wants heavier and heavier tanks and more planes with even stronger payloads, so they’ll probably get it. DF is pretty adamant about “not limiting playstyles” of vehicle HE spammers despite it being a significant balance issue.
Im personally ok with IS-3 / Jagdtiger , simply because,
- sure lets not limit playstyles. more playerbase is always good
- theyre 1945 tech, a WW2 game should have 1945 things
Id balace it severely with:
- 1 hv tank limit per team
- Medic2 mechanic of being able to replenish squads from a ambulance vehicle/point
August Storm - Soviet-Japan New Style Campaign Pack Concept - #2 by IceySmooth - powerful buildable 88mm/100mm heavy AT guns
Turning the Tide - Operation Citadel & Bagration 43-44 Campaign Concept
Stuff like that needs to be a package deal. Better AT tools, better infantry survivability, than add super heavies if u want, with LIMITS.
T - 34 -85 and IS-2 vs Tiger 1 and Panther and for US/UK Sherman Firefly and Jumbo 76 and for Japan just Type 4 Chi-To we didn’t need to go after those in the tech tree.
please learn what fictitious means…
It can perfectly come with the ISU-152
The 128mm Pak 44 L/66 in the image is estimated to be able to penetrate about 350mm at a distance of 100 meters with APCBC
Yeah like ISU is close to Jagdtiger in terms of balance… I smell a small bias there
What shell? PzGr 43 clocks out at 270mm
I refer to Fiticio as something that simply did not see combat in WW2 and was incorporated late after its end. What was finished being built or something like the Centurion in 46
This is what I mean by Fictitious, why I highly doubt that the Allies and Soviets would want to see E-Series tanks as Counterparts Of the IS-3,T-44-100,T34,T32 etc.
Yeah maybe ISU-152BM, deff not the actual baseline ISU
When has that mattered? Even in the old campaigns we had wierd shit like panzer 3 b and jumbo in normandy. Nowadays half of japan is “fake” and all of high br is filled with prototypes.
I just want black prince and comet. Pershing is boring
In the Jagdtiger version the Pak 44 L/55 272mm penetration
In the improved version of the Pak 44 L/66 312mm at about 500 meters exactly But the theory would be 350-330 at a distance of 100 meters
What differences does this have from the other variants? I ask because I don’t know.
The Comet did see combat, the Centurion is from 46 Postwar
I never mentioned centurion but ok
Im sorry, T-54 1945, ISU-152BM, T-44-100 were all finishing kubinka trials in 1945, IS-3 is on train to Berlin when war ends
T29 & T30 were ordered into production for invasion of Japan during this time (summer 1945)
E series is a PAPER project not even field tested.
You really need to reexamine what “Fictitious” means.
Ie yes Soviets would have LOVED E-series to combat the IS3, especially as they actually DIDNT EXIST
BL8/9 high power 152mm guns, finished field trials.
My mistake, sorry, I confused it with the Churchill with a 17-pounder cannon
