They’re attackers, not fighters like Fw.

Oh sure, totally different.
Then lets look at other fighters with rockets.
P38-J-15 is BR3, FP5 versions are BR3, I-153 is BR1, so is I-16, Hurrican is BR1, and AP4 is/ was BR4.
How many of them has 4x 20mm and 2 other MGs

i dont remember having problem against pz3n with t50, so 45mm really had no problem with it…

How many of them struggle to fly straight?
dont really see the relevance even if it had 12x 20mm since aligning that thing with your target is near impossible.
Especiatly for new players of br1-2
This one was pretty okay. At least from what I remember. Plus it wouldn’t be so big of problem when it doesn’t have bombs.
This was mostly a problem because of the bombs, as they drop way off.
This FW is definitely going to be very decent for BR3.
Bad memory I guess.
Exept sadly there isnt any testing done with WW2 era HEAT for that.
The stand off distance is very much dependend on how the warhead is configured so maybe they already are optimised fully for contact fuzes and would perform worse at a distance. Or maybe they actually gain pen. But that is hard to tell.

The Germans tested this and the results proved that it didnt work.
As a defence? or did they also analyse the stand of distace improving it?
Looking for the source, but the Allies also conducted tests with the Panzerfäuste. According to Allied intel, the spaced armor had to be at least 0.75m away from the main armor to be effective (and note that they used wire mesh and not plates). This is also confirmed by modern armor “cage armor”.
And no German tank ingame has such a distance with their Schurzen and the wire mesh would be next to useless due to the distance.

So they did not really test how distance affects the penetration itself but if distance as a defence is viable. Given how the side armor of a panzer for is just 30mm and the pen of the pzf is 180mm there is no really way to judge its penetrative power should it be improved by the distance.

What? This makes no sense.
“A 3/4 inch (20 mm) spaced armour plate with a stand-off distance of 12 inches (30 cm) or less actually enhanced the shaped charge’s effect by optimizing its stand-off distance”
And also, whatever you say, it still wouldnt change that ingame HEAT warheads would not be affected by Schurzen.
T28 gun reload time is 5 seconds. Pz3N gun reload time is 3.3 seconds. It seems we are playing different games. In your game T28 shoots clearly more often.

I said “comparable”. You should (maybe) be able to understand the meaning of the word (comparable ≠ same, to help you out)
Exactly what I said about denizens of the other forums:
- if the opposite faction has something slightly better, it must be nerfed or uptiered. If THEIR faction has something great, it’s fine. Such as showing how easy it is to take out a KV in the practice range
Have you tried standing on a 3N with a ptrs to reproduce the results of the KV? Hint: it works just as well.
People with double standards. That’s the real eyesore, not the nerf per say.
(Next up he will say “muuuuh look at my stats, I play axis moar!”) So does most ppl who play with friends. It’s a commonly liked faction so most ppl are often stuck playing it to go along with their buddies.

Here’s the thing, HEAT theoretically can get stronger because of spaced armor - simply by the logic that the explosion can build up more pressure, since the explosive force gets captured behinde the spaced armor - this would in return logically less apply to mesh armor, since its not a solid barrier.
However- this obviously would only apply when the HEAT projectile breaks through the initial spaced armor and reaches the main armor without exploding infront of the spaced armor, or at least without losing too much energy on the skirts.
RIP 3N, time to add 1 more Airplane in our Lineup. Except Premium StuG 3 every Tank is shit in BR2 for Germany.
Cant wait until next nerf for Germany arrive, it will arrive thats safe.

Seems like you have never played any BR2 German tank besides Pz III N (which was clearly overperforming, literally best BR2 tank)
But okay.

cant argue with that, are we also nerfing or uptiering overperforming planes of ussr & murrica ?
While at it, the smg’s & bodyarmor.
