Everyone sure enjoys bringing up the performance of a vehicle in a vehicle-only game while ignoring the context that the arguments are being made regarding the implementation of the same vehicle in an infantry game.
This association poisoned the well with everyone’s expectations of performance regarding and when discussing too damn many vehicle suggestions.
What context?
It’s clearly shown that the explosive performance of the 76mm has an AoE shrapnel profile 2/3s the size of the tanks you brought up, and a blast wave that deals comparatively less damage.
Name the factors you want to bring up relative to your original post of
The point being, I am excessively familiar with the gun in question. Like it or not, tank v tank is something that happens in enlisted, so its relevant aswell.
There are many tanks in Enlisted that are Amazing against infantry. But they don’t get picked if they cant defend themselves against tanks as well.
You remember back in moscow campaign. The Panzer IV E/F1 was waaaay better at anti infantry but couldnt do shit against the T-34 or struggled with the t-50…so people only played the Panzer IV F2 or premium with HEAT. Fast forward to today they only Pick the Panzers with AT capabilities aswell, ussr t-28 gets left to rot because cant pen shit, even though it shreds infantry…up until armor correction it was mostly T-50s
Trading a little HE power is worth the ability to remove any obstacle in your way, so that you “can” keep on destroying infantry.
Significantly longer reload time? I believe it is 5 secs vs 7 or so.
Plus additional context:
Panthers are suffering from non existent reverse speed, they can’t effectively dodge stuff like EPs and bombs.
Tiger on other hand can’t even reliably penetrate all tanks of its BR. And is forced to look at weak spots on jumbo = it is not as versatile as Sherman is.
And neither of these tanks have stabilizer. Which is huge disadvantage for them in comparison to Sherman.
All these tanks just belongs to BR4. I am not the one who’s deliberately trying to lower one of them to BR3.
Plus your idea is not even popular, just look at this ratio.
76mm is decent and only needs to aim for Panther turret cheeks, and then struggles specifically with Tiger II H - which is why the other versions have the better ammo to begin with.
Yeah just downtier even more powerful vehicle that will destroy everything no matter the BR 2-4 and let americans to have 3x Shermans that they could spam 24/7. What a brilliant idea. DF should hire you.
Im a nerd and I love German Panzers - but you know what else I am? A balance fanatic, I can’t stand unfair gameplay. I am yet to be found biased when I am talking about German balance. I always claimed that Tiger II H being unhealthy for the game, I even agreed with Panzer III N needing a change, but you specifically disagree with my PPS statemets for example. I have difficulties taking you serious sometimes.
I said before that as long as the pz3n is in BR2, the pps should stay the same, but now I’m not against that change, but when the Americans get the m1a1 (and the Japanese who always had good smgs), we should give the Germans a similar smg in BR2 instead of nerfing the pps.
Achilles have british HE shell that have normal tnt filling that ~75mm gun should have.
Achilles is way better than hellcat unless all you care is sniping enemy tank and don’t care about infantry.
It will never be meta in BRIII, cause 75mm is way better in BRIII
After a few match in M18, I decide to avoid all 76mm in US TT.
If there’s no tanks to kill, 76mm vehicle user is the most valueless player in the team. same a T-34-57.
Stabilizer is also meaningless cause there’s no flanking in Enlisted.
Fair game then, I’ll take my accusations back - because SMG balance is actually more important then tank balance in most scenarios.
Personal question, just for me to ponder - since you really dont like the idea of STUG F being down tiered, what would you say if Panzer IV F1 would get HEATs BUT a rate of fire nerf equal to T28E?
But what I’m really interested in is what it means in practical terms for the game.
