T-44 for BR5

Quite sure no one is capable to win the “war” on the current game.
Just some battles.

Not really, back in days of campaigns the somewhat “requirement” was if it was used it can be added.
Obviously, the goal post since has been shifted quite numerous times.

Dunno, one could argue the GE tank supremacy is “ass-ymmetrical” balance.
Just like murrican planes being un-contested & sovjet infantry weapons.

Well we all know the battle results and the resources used in this battles Germany had very few King Tigers in the Battle of Berlin. If we put full realism battle of Berlin wont be fun for the Germans. Neither they had equal air force to the soviets neither tank force. Giving the nations the same amount of tanks and giving Germany endless amount of King Tigers vs IS-2 is not really realistic.

I doubt there was too many ak-47’s, rd44s, avt’s nor fedorovs either.

Wont really be fun for anyone.

Dunno, against murrica regardless of the 2v2 setup, the murrican planes are by far better compared to GE.

Nor the soviets prototype / absolute garbage guns being top tier in the game.
So lets not pretend it would be somekind of joy ride for soviets either.

T44 100 would still be worse than king tiger H. The turret can be penned by Br 3 panzer 4 while King tiger is pretty much invulnerable to everything except br 5 tanks and couple br 4 ones. King tiger also has better gun depression and faster reload giving germans still a edge in tank gameplay.

I dont really mind if we’re going for red vs blue balance, but these should be implemented in larger scale regarding all equipment.
Since past years the edge of what ever equipment has been shifted quite heavily towards US / USSR.

I agree. Along with t44 100 germans will need some buffs. Fg 42 needs bayonet, fockewulf needs fixed flight model and meteor needs to be nerfed at least.

Well exactly this tank is far more realistic then them :

ИСПЫТАНИЯ ОБСТРЕЛОМ БРОНЕКОРПУСА И БАШНИ ОПЫТНОГО ТАНКА Т-44

As you can see it was not some paper prototype. It was in full production during the war simply There was no need to complicate the logistics with it and train new units rushing new vehicle is never a good thing and the Soviets had time while Germany didnt they needed to rush all they had to the frontline.

Well it will be fun for the Allies for sure since USSR and US had very big resources compared to Germany or Japan.

Depends on the BR and I dont think they are better they simply have better payload. There is few very broken planes but they are not in the TT all Murica has in the TT simply has amazing payloads but if you remove it the planes are not that impressive.

Well it can be T44 85 as long as it has the right ammo I dont mind winch model gonna be as long is balanced to fight King Tigers and Panthers.

Dunno, all of the above mentioned guns were also produced.
Just never used.

Kinda depends where you draw the line.
Regardless USSR threw shit ton of soldiers to meatgrinders, id imagine it wouldnt be that much of fun to play that side.
No matter will you get the message “You won” at the end of the game but dying + ~30 times just in single game to machine gun most likely isnt fun.
Regardless you could always comfort yourself that “atleast we have more resources”

Id take the meteor over me any given day even if it had worse payload.
Can say same about the D12.

I think the 100 model is fair. 85mm with apcr would have terrible post pen and require extremely blind king tiger player in order to kill it. Kinda like normal pershing can technically kill KT from front but its is nearly impossible to do in real game due to the shells limitations

They where not in full factory production accepted in to service they where prototype stage T-44 was beyond the prototype stage it was in full production accepted by the army.

Well it is in a game is fun you haven’t played red orchestra back in the days xD
And Germany also did btw so did Japan the only nations in world war 2 that saved its soldiers where the Western Allies UK and US. Japan, Germany and USSR and China really had a lot of battles that where exactly meatgrinders. Kursk is a typical example of German suicidal tactics.

Depends for me the ME is better only if it had its second bomb the Meteor is a good dog fighter but the ME boom and zoom capabilities are amazing only it needs same bomb load. But I hate jets since all of them are super OP no skill planes specially with the insane turn rate that they have for that insane speed and the absolutely insane payloads the game was much better without them we would not even need T-44 since there was some balance before they introduced them. The Jets where the worst decision by the devs.

Well yes but it can be nice BR IV tank like the Panther and the Firefly. Depends what the devs want if they want BR V version yes the 100 will be better for BR V while the 85 is good for BR IV some people like me we play BR IV I wish Japan had BR IV …

Both can be added. T44 85 for br 4 or 5 and t44 100 for br 5

Doesnt really change the fact that it never was used in combat does it ?

Im quite sure ive got it last played ~2014 so not sure what you are going for.

So at western front average game is 20 minutes of which you spend ~18minutes of watching your own artillery and hoping to play the game for ~2minutes.

And at eastern front just to keep things historically accurated, no matter how well you play you just have to die everynow and then to maintain aproximate 1:3 KD ratio in favor of GE.

Sounds extremely fun to all.

Kinda like fast tanks flank & murder capabilities are amazing.
But for some odd reason they are not really ever used on the game.

agree.

And when the C. 202EC was used in combat ? there where like 12 of them now compare it to T-44 they had like 555 and where production line series… and lets not start with the full paper projects. Not to mention T-44 was combat tested with real enemy tanks it was accepted in to service and send for training.

Well there people do human wave tactics and where fun 50 people Banzai charge a point was very fun in rising storm.

In this game fast tanks dont work do to the grayzone they should make some tanks and armored cars to have the partisan mechanic and some maps are very bad for flanking like majority of Berlin maps …

I kinda have to admit I just have to guess its somekind of italian plane ? Most likely not exactly meta gear so, doubt the balance would change to any direction even if it didnt exist.
And, quite sure there would be alternative choices for it.

Pretty sure @Veekay45 asked source for this.
I havent heard of it being used ever against GE.

k

Kinda like the zoom & boom works fairly poorly against any even mediocre meteor pilot.

Then how T- 44 will change the balance its basically a Panther for the Soviets. The IS-3 will change the balance since its better then King Tiger but T-44 is worse. Its literally a Panther tank for the soviets for the people that hate the long reload on IS-2. Only if I had the event T-34-100 I would not care.

Tested means the Soviet Used captured German tanks and fired at it look at the pictures and then they send it for frontline training not for combat so it was not used against Germany in real combat only in tanning.

Well depends do to the spawn mechanic you can bait the Meteor first with another plane or ground attacker then span behind his back. Or use altitude advantage and speed normally planes with higher speed can dictate the rules of engagement however the Me is hard to master try playing Kikka xD Simply the Meteor is very OP plane do to the unrealistic turn rate better then prop planes I have no idea why the devs given it spitfire turn time.

Dont mind, but if we’re ditching this “ass-ymmetrical” balance then every each category has to be equalized at same time.
Not like past years that only ussr & US gets the benefits.

Having issues with KT2 ? Just quit the game and que again as GE untill you get back in the original game and just teamkill that pesky KT2 user.
After that, quit again and que untill you get back as USSR.

Np.

Regardless of the insane speed, so far I havent out runned bullets a single time.

Well the ‘‘ass-ymmetrical’’ balance is gone with the jets now there is no Balance at all. The strongest faction if you Pay is Western allies since you can have 2 jets and Germany and USSR at BR V also have no balance since Germany have much better BR V vehicles then USSR while USSR have some body armor so I dont think this is balance … and Japan is dead faction since Japan has nothing we dont have not a single playable BR and we are pushed to BR V matches since its the only BR where your vehicles have a chance. Now BR IV would be fun but I dont know why the devs dont add more planes to BR III and BR II and BR I where people love to play literally they can make BR III playable by giving us second plane option and put few planes on lower BRs or give more rockets to the N1K2-J.

So where is the “it was used in combat” and the “Manchuria” stories come from?

I still haven’t seen a single evidence of its combat use.

Which brings T-44 to the same room as Maus, Tortoise and Komet.

And there’s a reason why neither of those 4 are ever featured in WW2 games.

I use the regular Pershing over the Super Pershing because the Pershing’s APCR is fully capable at killing King Tigers
