I voted Allied army is overpowered!

It seems to me that everything the allies have is much stronger than in reality ... axis armor performs pathetically.

1. Panthers get 1 shotted from the front by 6pounders
2. Panthers get killed to easily by shermans from the side ... i mean if you hit the side its still sloped and the shell doesnt come from 90 degrees - its rahter a small angle so it would be likely to bounce off - a 90 degree hit should of course be a kill.
3. Hellcats and sherman 76s shoot panthers from the front

-right now i perform better with the stug than the panther...

then people come up with the argument : its a short distance so they should do that - but why the hell do have panzer IVs have trouble dealing with shermans? - you need a pzgr40 to kill them from the front (or even side for a 76sherman) - but if the distance is that short even regular ap ammo would be enough -  I dont get it

from what ive read and learned about history 76mm was only good at the side armor at combat ranges of the heavier german tanks ...

I think we should make german tanks stronger, make some less of them on the maps and get rid of at least 1 focke wulf per map - its 1944, the luftwaffe was non existant at that point.

just my view, sry if it sounds like flaming

5 to 7 for 32 players is still extraproportionally high ... if we want to limit g43s we should get rid of at least 2-3 piats per map ...

panzerfaust was at least more common.


btw. dont take the post to serious

Love:

Sturmgeschütz: i actually perform better in it than in panthers, its perfect for hiding in hedges ... also the front armor deflects nearly all incoming shells.

Hellcat: the speed is insane

Panzerfaust: come on everybody loves it!

Hate:

Churchill tank ... takes so long to reach the battle and then your gun cant hurt anybody

Bren: i just cant use the thing

thx for the answers ... so a hit in the tracks will finish them? - i recall that it catched fire but stayed intact
(yeah i said it bounced off ---> my fault).

to the realism part. even if 76(w) shermans got upgraded armor i think a panzer IV would be likely to penetrate the armor, especially on the side, if im not totally mistaken... so that wouldnt make a difference at short ranges.

Hi there,

This is my first post here and im not a native english speaking person, so i apologize if anything is wrong here.

So, i played Forgotten Hope 2 the other day (which is my favourite mod btw.) but got a bit angry about the 76 sherman.
It was on Operation Lüttich: I was in a Panzer IV and had quite a good game. i Drove past the southern spawn point (farm) towards the entrance of the allied base (i wasnt spawncamping but i think you know that place on lüttich where always a german tank is around xD). Then i saw a sherman (76). It didnt see me and its side was facing me ... so i was firing a standard AT shell (didnt have a pzgr40 due to fierce fighting before that) thinking that at the 20 metres distance between us i would make an easy kill ... but it bounced off. Then the sherman turned its turret towards me and 1 shot me. - This happened a 2nd time in this game.
I dont get why a stubby sherman for example knocks out a panther from that distance from the side, but a panzer IV (with a better gun than the stubby sherman) cant kill a sherman with regular ap rounds.
- Are there any shot traps on the sherman?
- Or do i have to life with the fact that my Panzer IV only has 8 effective shots on board?

Thx for your answers, dont get me wrong, the mod is great.
