Superior nazi german tanks make big boom, while Soviet shits had cannon shells made out of jelly! True facts, no lies, confirmed information.

Lol, mighty Panzers were a joke in early stages of the war, they only had success in early Barbarossa because the Soviets sucked at organization, because they had better tanks, by far.


It was just Hitler being blinded by the "Awesomness" of his Panzers... you just saw the truth, Panzers are completely overrated.

The Germans were desperate to get upgunned tanks into the Eastern Front, and you also should be desperate to get the Panzer IV F2 for example.

I can´t comment on that topic yet. But if I ever reach the Panther and that thing doesn´t wipe the floor with T-34/85s, I´m going to call the game biased.

T-34s in tier 1 because of realism, but Me-262s fighting jets from the 1950ies can make you suspicious. ;)

Considering the one shot kills: Keep in mind you can reduce the number of your deaths by angling the hull accordingly.

And another thing, this shit is historically accurate. The L version and PzIV F2 and the Stug F were all deployed in 1942 (in significant numbers). It's the best you can get.
The damage however could be tweaked since I doubt a KV1 would be operational after a penetration of the turret, you have to remember it's a shell + the concussion + shrapnel of the destroyed armor. The inside would be done for.
He was not wrong. Amateurs talk tactics, pros talk logistics.

Stop aiming at turrets you halfwit. Turret rings + side armor. + engine. god damn it.

I get good results aiming at turrets on tier I. Sometimes it is +3. I aim at front plates as well. The BT-7 can be 1-shot-killed into the front plate where the driver is sitting, because the shell goes through the whole tank, prolly hitting the gunner/commander and the engine compartment.


Pz II has only 3 crewmembers, I didn't notice anything weird but I wasn't watching. If it has more, then that is wrong.

Well, at first I thought that you should be able to buff some crews by only traing the 3 crewmen in use, instead of training all 5 crewmen. For the Panzer II that would be driver, commander and radio operator. But if you train the loader to get faster reload rates on the Panzer II, it actually works, though the Panzer II has no loader.
The traits of crewmen that are not positioned in a tank, obviously get transfered to those crewmen that are actually fulfilling multiple roles; like the commander, being commander, gunner and loader in one person.

I usually imagine my own sounds with it, like `tjunk, tupdieyupdiedee` aaa enemy spotted, ratatatataboom

I want my nazi tanks to one shot everything, what a joke game!

Yes, because they were the best in reality, right? I don't get why Russian tanks can shoot me with 1 shot while German tanks can't?

Stop aiming at turrets you halfwit. Turret rings + side armor. + engine. god damn it.

Besides, of course they fucking 1 shot kill you, your tank is a small piece of shit with 80mm of frontal armor and they have 76mm+ guns while you shoot puny 50mm shells. No damage if no calibre, PHYSICS BALLISTICS MOFUGGA.

So, it seems it's unbalanced... Why they have such tanks on the same tier?

ha, funny, I one shot everything with my panzer IV F2.

That is just dumb, and in SB it can be used as a form of "wallhack" to see over hills, crests etc. Should be removed, no question.

I agree the way it's currently implemented is stupid, but I don't think artillery should be removed. In fact I think it's a great game mechanic, enabling mediums (who can't use their armor) to scare away camping heavy tanks or tank destroyers. With the warning there's more than enough time for tanks to get out of the blast zone, so it's usually not very effective at killing tanks but it is a good way to deal with campers.

The 3D targeting system however is unrealistic and stupid, I agree. It should manually be called in by using the minimap or something.

Speaking of which, I really hope they remove the enemy tanks from minimaps in SB.

Okay... so I unlocked the first Jagdpanzer IV with the 75mm/L48. turns out 76mm stubby guns of T-34s and KVs reliably pierce the 60mm sloped frontal armor even on long range. Disappointing to say the least.

Okay, after 5 rounds with the Jagdpanzer IV today, I can say the game is shit in the realism aspect. 3/4 shots go through the frontal armor of it. We are not talking about big guns here, but 76mms of KV1 and T-34. Meanwhile the 75mm/L48 doesn´t do shit unless hitting from the side. But even then it´s not guaranteed. Strangely enough when I aim for German tanks with that gun it´s usually one or two shots and they blow up.

Is there some weakpoint everybody but me knows about on the Jagdpanzer IV, so that almost every engagements ends with a shitty T-34 destroying it from the front? Afaik the thing should be indestructible to 76mm guns - even more so since T-34s withstand 75mm hits.

Okay...Screw this.....the damage model is frikking heavily biased towards the soviets. I need double, if not Triple the shots to take down one soviet tank. When i play arcade and come across german tanks, my little PZIV also needs only half the shots to take them down.

Yeah, obviously bias.
 Having 82 kills in 17 battles with F2, 99 kills in 17 battles with Pz. II, both with +85% victories. Playing simulater only

USSR:
2nd KV-1 - 23 battles, 39% victories, 6 kills
1ist KV-1 - 8 battles, 62 %, 11 kills
T-34 prototype - 13, 54%. 43
