Cant wait to fight a PzIV with my helpless 2 pdr.  8)

you'll scream, if the armour value is same as in 2.3: GERMAN BIAS!

frankly, if the angle system worked the 2 pounders would be completely useless against the panzers unless you could flank them - crusaders die too quickly, matildas and valentines are too slow to do the job.
Its not as bad as 2.15 where you needed 8 shots on the sides of a PZIII or IV.....................

and wrong gun for Grants... that was the most German biased patch ever.
2.2 was also a bit better for the german panzers in Normandy. Panther tanks surviving 3 shots everywhere on sides and rear... God that was carnage

aaaah   2.2... its where the german bias meme first saw light  ;D

but ye, Shermans vs PZIII in NA was also........very........

Or gazala in 2.3...my god    that was terrible for the axis team

because not enough italian stuff there  ;D
-i am fairly sure that if they took porn off the internet, there would only be one website left and it would be called bring back the porn "Perry cox, Scrubs.

Well thats normal

The sherman armor was very effective frontally against the 5CM gun of the PZIII. Even the long barrel one.  But the sides where only 30mm thick. 4 -5 shots are needed in 2.3 to kill a sherman there  ;D

2pdr vs panzer IV D (short barrel) front - the panzer usually dies in up to medium distance engagements from 1 hit. unless you angle the hull -> decreasing the incoming damage.  you wont do miracles with this but it can help survive a 1 shot more than you would otherwise.

cant remember if the panzer IV F2 front is impenetrable.

about possible german bias with their heavy tanks like tiger & panther with the angle mod.

dont forget this also counts for the allied tanks.
the sherman front is quite nicely sloped, and so it the crusader.
while most early war german vehicles dont have this, pzIV, pz III, stugs ...

look what i wrote
panzer IV D the short barrel version has like NO armor
Front Turret: 30/10
Front Upper Hull: 30/7
Front Lower Hull: 30/12
Gun Mantlet: 35/0

2pdr cuts through that like butter up to medium range it always 1-shot  this panzer IV version. with the new angle mod you can SURVIVE 1 shot.

even the Panzer IV F1 (still short barrel)  "only" has 50mm frontal armor.

A little "off topic" which new "Angled Damage Modifier" reminded me of - I am just curious about how thick is average bottom armor of the tanks?
Are tanks 1s1k from the bottom? I mean something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szTGXeLk2Jg&t=5m38s  ???

bottom armor of tanks is always the weakest, thats why mines are so effective.

but i cant think of many instances in FH2 where i would be able to hit the bottom of a tank.

hm small question:

Will you be able to use the ctrl key on a 360 degree to see the sides and rear of the tank while the turret stays still like in 2.3 or not? that was good to see if there would be any infantry trying to blow you up.

Yes, Ctrl look is still available and is even better than 2.3 one.
