Now, even infantry buildable heavy MG can easily break apart tank’s track. Sometimes, even penetrate through tank’s armor and knock out tank’s crews.
All tanks are so easily to be knock out.
Even plane’s cannon can destroy a heavy tank so easily. That’s IS-2, a tank which lead German’s entry tank straight up give up on.
With short barrel PZ4’s guns, You dont even have to aim to take out a T-50! Which was a nightmare to lots of German’s tanks.
Even moscow’s T-34s are more easily to be penetrated.
Also, the newly added ricochet of tank’s shells, most of HE shells shooting at grounds wont explode at all. With dev’s 7->5 degree ricochet update, and mystery update for extreme nerf to tank’s MGs, tanks power are much lower than before.
well i usually hate late level equipment. it seems like first 20-25 levels are somewhat balanced, but everything after that is just wtf. moscow with its latest additions is just stupid.
Shooting HE indoors seem didn’t change at all but outdoors can be tricky when shooting the ground where its better to just shoot the enemy soldier directly with HE for the splash or some object like a wall or rubble that the HE shell doesn’t ricochet. No problems with my T-34-85 and IS-2.
So far it seems to me that 30mm and 37mm cannons have suffered a sharp increase in lethality, i can literally one shot tanks and tear apart aircraft with one shot.
Remember those planes pierce tanks TOP. Less armour there, and the velocity of a 30mm (or more, Soviets got sweet 37) combined to the velocity of a diving plane AND being helped with gravity itself is more than enough to wreck a tank from the top.
Historically, Soviet planes wrecked entire panthers and tigers colums just by strafing them.
Ya its totally nuts what they have done to be honest.
At point blank range against a flat plate the 50 cal could pen about 30 mm of armor, but any angle on that would dramatically reduce its capability’s, and at 250 m it would go down to around 25 mm.
The effect it would have once it did pen would be minimal, this is why these guns were never noted as being tank killers in the war.
It’s ability to Track a tank is also purely a gameplay feature having no bearing in reality.
The real Question is why do the Dev’s want tanks to be so easy to kill, imo there going way over board trying to balance an already lopsided element to the game
Without joking this time, I think devs did so because the astronomical amount of complaints against tanks. “Grey zoning tanks” or “uuuh I can’t kill a tiger with my stuart” etc. etc.
Game is not intended to be realistic anymore, it’s a fun arcade.
I mean did you guys noticed the lil annoying sound the game does since last update when you score a headshot?
historically planes were shit against tanks. they massively over reported tank kills by so much that sometimes they “killed” 2-3 times more tanks than number of tanks in that battle. and most of those tanks survived and had minor damage.
