But they’re also afraid that if it becomes too strong, the ‘whales’ of the other two factions will complain and stop spending.
I have good reason to believe no one actually buys Soviet gold mortar units. Yet DF keeps releasing these trash premium squads that nobody wants, then uses low sales as an excuse to claim the faction should be nerfed—just look at all the removed premium squads. So, to a large extent, this situation is DF’s own fault.
In my opinion, they should learn from the Chinese Expeditionary Force Thompson squad. This time, why not release a pure, authentic Communist Eighth Route Army squad? I guarantee it would be hugely popular. Or sell the 44/100 as a premium vehicle. You have to offer something good first before players will buy.
No, my vote failed. I wanted to propose it too, specifically about the 44-100. But I thought it’d be safer to first ask the Chinese squad about it, since I know the 44-100 has high appeal. If you really ask the English forums, no one makes a sound, while the Russian forums have over 40 supporters. Here, there’s just silence. I know exactly what they’re thinking—the 44 is aimed directly at the developers.
There’s just no reason to add the T-44-100 right now, it would be on par with the King Tiger if not arguably better.
That kind of inclusion would not be healthy for a tech tree or premium vehicle, and honestly it probably wouldn’t be a good inclusion at all right now.
Russia is in too good of a position right now to justify the T-44-100, on the other hand I would love to have the regular T-44 in the game.
okay, but then tell me which tank will be able to fight Ferdinand as effectively in a tank duel as Ferdinand himself with this tank, I’m asking which tank is equal in efficiency from the Soviet branch of research in the framework of combat
if something d25t penetrates 205 mm of armor, that is, even the minimum angle of Ferdinand’s armor will make him invulnerable against the most powerful weapon of the USSR
and the 85 mm ZIS-S-53 cannon in the framework of World War II does not have projectiles that would have penetrated more than 200 mm of armor at all, which makes Ferdinand absolutely invulnerable in frontal projection for this cannon.
The only way out is the kv 2, but he’s too vulnerable and has no right to make mistakes, just because Ferdinand can shoot more often.
the only reliable way to penetrate Ferdinand’s armor in the framework of World War II weapons is a 100 mm LB-1 or D-10 cannon with a BR-412B projectile with 218 mm armor penetration (still not reliable, but the best that is), and a BR-412D projectile with 239 mm armor penetration has been in the 50s and will not be added
The simple solution is to move the Ferdinand to BR5 where it belongs. No need for any counters to be added because there’s already plenty of counterplay.
Bomb it, flank it, Panzerfaust it, rush it with infantry, knock out the track or barrel, etc etc.
It’s a slow moving, massive target with no turret and no defensive machine guns. And god forbid Germany have heavy tanks in a WW2 game.
Yeah same for Japan. They barely have any premiums worthwhile.
They could definitely do something interesting with the Chinese. Like Machuquo forces for Japs or thai forces, and Cumminist Mongolian forces for Soviets. Thats would be very cool
Yes, even on the fifth br, Soviet tanks are still weak, the Soviets need the T-44 100 so that the Soviets have a truly versatile tank in pumping, and not like now (if you want to fight with infantry, take the IS—1, if you want to fight against tanks, take the IS-2 or KV-2 since both of these tanks have too serious disadvantages (long reloading) to effectively fight against infantry, and yes, I know that their high-explosive shells are powerful, but when fighting infantry, you often need to shoot in two different directions more than once every half minute, which is impossible on these tanks)
Or you could just take the T-34-85 and flank the tanks you can’t pen from the front.
The idea that the Soviets are in desperate need for a tank as powerful as the T-44-100 is delusional, their current tanks are satisfactory, though a T-44-85 would be a welcome addition.
Plus the Soviets are stronger when it comes to infantry equipment, and their planes are fairly even with the Germans.
I understand that you are frustrated but dont make low quality suggestion that cant be processed and only bloats suggestions.
No one will be very happy with that.
What would actually help is making a very quality suggestion of a weapons/vehicle you want to see. Like the T-44-100 you mentioned.
In what ways is the T-44-100 better than the King Tiger? It’s worse in literally every way. It’s just that at least it’s a decent tank, not a piece of crap like the IS-2. Its armor is weaker than the King Tiger’s, but acceptable. Their armor is fair. The King Tiger can only effectively penetrate the T-44-100’s turret cheeks, which is the T-44-100’s weak point overall, and the T-44-100 can only effectively penetrate the King Tiger’s turret cheeks, too. It’s all fair. That said, the T-44 still has a slower reload time, slightly worse armor, fewer shells, and a worse machine gun (the DT is worse than the MG). And a couple more minor issues. Yes, it could be faster, but the maps in Enlisted are very small and corridor-like, especially on the 5BR SSSS, so speed should be reasonable, and a super-fast tank is useless. The key is powerful armor and a powerful, penetrating gun with a fast reload time. The T-44-100 is still inferior to the Tiger 2, which is probably the most ideal tank in Enlisted right now, but it will at least be able to adequately counter it. The Soviets don’t want an overpowered tank. They just want a decent tank.
The armor breaks even imo thanks to the volumetric system (thanks War Thunder) which puts the T-44-100 and King Tiger on similar levels of protection, especially if you angle the T-44 even just a little bit.
The DT is worse than the MG-34, but the T-44-100 also gets a DSHK on the roof so that makes up for it. You get less shells for the main cannon but you don’t really need that many AP shells, and the HE in the 100mm is about 50% larger than in the 88mm so again it makes up for it.
Also I don’t get why people sell mobility so short in Enlisted, it doesn’t matter as much as it does in War Thunder but it is a strong factor. The T-44-100 would be better for flanking, getting into firing positions, getting out of trouble if it takes a hit, and dodging attempts by infantry to destroy it.
Speaking of which, the T-44-100 would have the same resistance to explosive packs and TNT charges that the KV-1 has, and we all know just how much people love the KV-1.
At the very least it would be on-par with the King Tiger, and would likely be able to surpass it. It’s a bad addition, especially for a faction that’s already in a strong state. Yes to T-44, No to T-44-100
With 85 mm canon on five BR? Really? 85 mm on 5 BR - unplayable. It will be unplayable garbage with 85 mm canon against TIger 2 and Ho-Ri. No one will ever take this over the IS-2. But on 4 BR T-44-85 will be good. Something like soviet Panther, yes.
Didn’t you yourself admit that this tank is on par with the Tiger II? Look at the forums now—some are talking about gameplay strength, others about historical accuracy, while some argue about which side is overpowered or bring up narratives of atonement.
There are even those who claim that sheer player skill alone can turn the tide. It’s as abstract as the U.S. military saying, “We need iron will to fight mindless steel.”
Adding this tank wouldn’t lead to the Tiger II being completely crushed—at most, it would just create a situation where both sides are slapping each other in the face on equal footing. And honestly, that sounds pretty fair.
The T-44-100 would arguably be better than the King Tiger, so already it isn’t a good inclusion. On top of that it would be a major buff to an already strong faction.
Let Germany have the Be All End All of tanks, the 2 things they have going for them are tanks and machine guns so I’m not sure why people are so adamant that German tanks get nerfed directly or indirectly.
The T-44 with a few APCR rounds would be a good addition as it’s good but not broken, and still held back by the 85mm cannon.
