And the issue is still here, a majority of the community wants it gone, with the saboteurs being added, and this update being more of a nothing burger. A lot of people here are upset and want some issues fixed, one way or another changes have to happen.

I remember he did say

“We know”
…

But silence since then and no explanations as to why it is this way and if something will ever be done to balance it out…

We are aware devs know. They know so much they even added a line saying Soviet armours give bonuses.

Yet, somehow, it wasn’t mentioned anywhere…

Edit:
Scratch my last line. It’s mentioned in present preliminary patch info.

Still. Nothing about solving the issue…

Please consider lowering the gold price for a camo and make them purchasable with customization orders.

For example:
I play all 4 nations, all BRs.
If I select just 1 vehicle per nation per BR to give a new camo, it will cost: 5 vehicles x 4 nations x 3 (average campaign per vehicle) x 250 = 15.000 gold

Type hei is OP and trash at the same time:

30 rounder one hit down for troopers is OP

but its damage is low enough that Paratroopers and soviet armor turn it into a two hit down gun.

Also I personally dont like the sights, but yeah that’s just me.

I guess they read my last post where I listed why Soviet armor needs to be changed - one of my points was that it is a secret hidden bonus.

So at least they changed that part of it.

Funny.

Okay, that is actually quite bold of a move.

Are you guys sure this is smart?

Unless you make STUG III G weakspots very consistent to be penetrated this could backfire badly.

Remember that the majority of frontal armor of the STUG III G is 80mm thick - something most BR2 vehicles can not penetrate at all, not to mention most BR3 Soviet tanks also already can have difficulties penetrating.

German br 2 tanks clearly need more buffs totally

But guys Chaffee with apcbc for br 2 is too strong!

What a crock of shit

I thought about that as well.

Thankfully the Stug has a very obvious weak spot in it’s gun mantlet, literally center mass, where it’s just 50mm.

You shoot here, if the tank doesn’t explode outright, the gun is out.

I see it as an updated Semonvente. Good armour and gun. No turret. Slowish. … no defensive mg (that’s a let down).

As for it being hard to pen, it’s not harder than the t50 tiny turret weakspot ftom Soviets we had to pixel hunt way back…

That spot is very liable to get eaten up by volumetric

If volumetric was in the game it would
However volumetric is not in enlisted

And t50 is literally the full turret. Not a tiny weak spot

483

Weird. Heard conflicting points on that. Regardless u have to thread the needle and it’s highly dependent on where the cannon is facing

Not to mention p2w

Any plans to fix the Ferdinand’s reload? It’s 8.5 when it should be 6.7

To be fair, I never specifically disagreed with you about Chaffee- rather I said solid AP in general should get buffed to deal much more damage.

486

Thats an issue for sure, unless you have big post pen damage like Soviets, a solid AP shot will probably not kill anyone inside that tank ever

Thinking about this- Crusader can pen Stug III G easily right? Maybe I am overreacting.

I was empathizing with you as we both are not exactly enthralled by this br change
