There’s no official mention on tank shell’s penetration changes. But from my experience across Moscow/Berlin/Tunis. Especially late German/Soviet’s heavy tanks are wasted.
Heavy tanks’ additional armor no longer work at all. Almost everyone’s tanks are almost at same level of armor protections.
Now, the more mobility the tank is, the better it performs.
Faster, quicker acceleration, faster reloads, the better it is.
Forget about IS-2, Tigers, Panthers, T-34s. As long as entry level tanks get a decent guns, it’s all the same.
But, the actual winners are those planes. Especially Fighter planes. They are much more useful than before.
Also, really, it’s the time to introduce those OP tanks. As game mechanic is severely limiting tank performance. And they are no longer so “OP”, or balance breaking anymore. @1942786 What about finally release KV-2 to moscow in next update?
I don’t think the IS-2 is a bad tank, its just that slow paced battles and engagements favor the tank more especially when being used like an artillery piece direct firing at enemy positions. 2 loader perks are very important for the tank.
In much faster battles like rushes, yeah T-34-85 is the workhorse tank for the Soviets.
I’m using T-34 obr 1941 in Moscow, T-34 STZ in Stalingrad, Tiger in Normandy, Panzer IV in Tunisia and both T-34-85 and IS-2 in Berlin.
This update plays into the hand of something like the SU-76M very well. High maneuverability and acceleration to get in and out of contact and I have been able to one shot pretty much every piece of Armor in Stalingrad with it.
no no you guys dont understand. We said theres imbalance between late and early players, so now they made it so its balanced. Stuart HE can kill a tiger! Balanced!!
I hope this mess gets fixed, I’m all for HE from 75mm’s overpreasuring weaker armor, but 20mm and 37mm being able to easily kill heavy stuff just sucks.
cheers SU-76M fam
