I had decent fun/ balanced matches with the Axis and Allies in SG before the latest change. Stalingrad is really underrated and imho the second best new campaign after Berlin. Even tanks isnt that bad, at least you dont pixel hunt T-34s there unlike in Moscow. More maps and fixed MGs (and maybe even Romanians) would be nice though.
What balance? The Soviets have a better assault rifle and better tanks and their latest fighter at least has rockets. Germany has catpured PPSh, finally a grind tank with HEAT and STUG!!!
But it doesnt matter here much because the campaign favors BA most of the time and thats where no side has an advantage apart from the buggy Mosin Sniper during the first days.
The devs are just horrible at their own game if they cant rely on auto spam and tanks.
The Pz.IIIN’s HEAT rounds produce very few fragments even when they penetrate armor after a direct hit. Also, there is no guarantee that it will reliably penetrate the KV1’s armor. However, the KV1 can easily penetrate tanks anywhere with armor-piercing rounds, and can be knocked out in one kill with explosive rounds. Your argument is no different from that of Jumbo Sherman and Pz.IV: Jumbo and Pz.IV are well-balanced as Pz.H can kill Jumbo in one hit by hitting the nipple.
Of course it does. But what you say has not changed from the time of Jumbo Sherman vs Pz.IV. The Pz.IIIN can only be killed by hitting the KV1 in the exact spot multiple times. However, the KV1 explodes at once just by hitting the tank with your eyes closed. The difficulty they face is the difference between heaven and earth.
Seriously? The AVT has a 15-round magazine, but it fires faster and reloads faster. When players face each other one-on-one, the AVT has an overwhelming advantage: it has a fast rate of fire and great damage. Loading is the second problem here. Take down 4-5 enemies very quickly and reload.
It takes a long time to use up all 30 rounds, and the damage isn’t that great at up to 9.6 each, unlike the Mkb which takes a long time to kill enemies.
I wonder if you’ve ever used both. There is a Stalingrad pack, so you must use it and tell me. Then sure. AVT has strong short-term firepower that cannot be compared to mkb. And it dominates the game.
KV and Jumbo is so diffrent case, KV Case is more malicious than jumbo pixel hunt. because Jumbo didnt have a APHEBC but has Shot shell. it’s didnt have many fragment and high explosive like KV’s APHEBC. it’s a very important difference.
Even if a jumbo’s shell penetrates german tanks, that shells didnt have well killing power it’s only kill one or two tankers. so Panzer can Counter attack after got hit Jumbo’s AP, he can Shoot a hull machine gun or shoot the jumbo’s bottom of the side(but this way need a good drive skill of panzer’s tanker)
so if Jumbo want at panzer destroyed at one shot, it requires the technique of firing weaknesses like hit a Ammorack and destroy pziii or pziiv at once. because Jumbo’s AP didn’t have any high explosive.
But KV didn’t need that skill. KV has APHEBC. that shell has high explosive and many fragment. assuming a 60-meter street battle on a map of Stalingrad campaign, KV didnt need some skill for kill Panzer. however, PzIII N need to skilled aiming technique for kill KV one shot, that tank can shoot only KV’s front of the narrow turret part without a mantlet because that place have ammorack and That’s because only that spot penetrates well (i mean green crosshair point). However, Even HEAT can penetrated KV’s Turret, there are many chances that the damage will be reduced. Like turning orange, not red.
in same situation, The skill required of the owner of the KV is simple. Praise APHEBC. It can kill one shot at any Panzer’s any part marked at green at aim crosshair. All of turret, and some part of Hull. it’s didnt need a take aim at ammorack. because APHEBC have many fragment. so Panzer got hit by KV, Panzer can’t try any Counterattack against KV. Because he already dead.
so it’s a diffrence point a KV and Jumbo. that case is vert diffrent.
Let’s say you can get a one-time kill by hitting the IV side ammo rack with the Jumbo Sherman.
KV1 can penetrate any part of IV, and can kill even if only the turret of III is hit. It’s not like the Pz.III N has to hit the KV1’s turret multiple times, and the KV1 can’t penetrate even the slightest angle.
That’s not the point, you think Jumbo can one shot kill if IV try a Hulldown at behind a ridge or debris without exposing his hull? IV Turret is haven’t turret ammorack. and Jumbo’s shell didnt have any HE and many fragment.
