Which TD have less armor than the KV?
I can’t remember if the last D-Day update brought the StuG II for BR2.
Hopefully we’ll get the Brummbär for BR3 this time to go up against the ISU-152.
Right. This vehicle has 90mm vertical frontal armour. If you angle its side for better protection, it can’t aim at targets anymore. By comparison, the KV and KV-2 have turrets, so angling them at 45 to 60 degrees easily gives an effective armour thickness of 90mm to 145mm.
The ISU-122 is the one that truly belongs at BR4.
Clearly, the KV-2 is better armoured.
Brummbar would probably go to BR4 the sturmpanzer 2 is already BR3 with no armor
To be honest: looks pretty nice
This is really not ideal, don’t you agree? The Brummbär has a small weak spot on its front that tanks at BR2 can penetrate. It’s already a pity that the ISU-152 wasn’t moved down to BR3, and I don’t want Germany to miss the chance to beef up its BR3 lineup.
After all, the KV-2 is already at BR3. Every faction deserves a properly placed assault gun, doesn’t it? Not having a turret is a clear disadvantage. The Bf 110 G-2 already took a big hit when it was bumped from BR3 to BR4. Overall, Germany’s BR3 tier is badly in need of more vehicles right now.
Also, the StuG II is only good for passive defense and not frontline assaults. It suffers from quite a few drawbacks, especially its slow speed. DF originally placed it at BR2, which is where it truly belongs. If we manage to get the Brummbär moved to BR3, we can then push for the StuG II to be downgraded to BR2 as well.
But whats the Stug 2 don’t is is Stug III

You mean cliffs like these? I think it would be great if the spawn points were placed right on top of the cliffs.

Isnt that the entire point of having fortrifications?
Not sure why attacking such ground should be “fair” for the attackers.
If fortrifications arent supposed to be usefull then whats is the point of having them in the first place?
If people werent OK with one sided maps then I am not sure why the hell they would keep requesting maps like fucking omaha or other locations where the allies took especially many loses (because those clearly were “fair” IRL).

Right, my translation tool didn’t use the official designation. I’m talking about the St.Pz. II. It’s actually a solid vehicle. Before the StuG III F was moved down to BR2, it was Germany’s best option to counter the KV tanks and Shermans.
Even with its open-top design, players at BR1 still struggle to deal with it. That’s why its balancing issues have nothing to do with BR2 or BR3 — the problem lies entirely with BR1.
The community also voted to adjust the StuG III G before, but the proposal fell through, all because of the BR1 bracket. I really wish matches could be locked so BR1 vehicles never face BR2 ones. What a shame.
some maps are asymmetrical
DDAY was a slaughter and was militarily unfair
Trying to balance out fortrifications is kind stupid as you would eighter
- cancel out all of their effects by avoiding a direct confrontation with them (for example by having the bunkers attacked from the side or objectives that are disconnected from the actually fortrifications)
OR
- Assume the designer of the defences was a complete retard that should have been court martialed for sabotage instead. Which also is kind stupid for immersion or realism sake which is kinda 90% why such a location was chose to be recreated and not just generic battlefield number 12.
This would for example be by having bushes block all the advantagous fireing positions, having none actually face the relevant approaches or just leaving obvious flank unprotected for the enemies to exploit.
Both options arent great a kind defeat the purpous of having fortrifications in the first place.
You mean the Marders

My advice would be to just call it the “sIG 33 b sfl” or just “sIG 33 b” as this is how it is called in WT and most players would recongnise it as that one.

The sturmpanzer 2?
Agreed, get rid of reverse D Day. It’s pure cancer and terrible map design for defenders.
