currently it takes 3.96 seconds for the pak to fire and 5.8 for the ZiS.


Jesus, I didn't realize the pak fired ~50% faster. That ZiS barrage ability and +2 crew really isn't worth 50% extra DPS, especially since the whole point of getting an AT gun is to damage armour.

Closer to 2/3 the speed of PaK.

No need to panic.

you guys are saying the same thing. pak fires 33% faster. zis fires 50% slower. it just depends on how you look at it

at gun damage isnt bad, its the missing that is just awful.

I believe any AT gun should have a 100% accuracy on a vehicle that is standing still and significant buffs towards vehicles with engine crits.

I've had plenty of my first AT gun shots miss t70s/t34s sitting still, who then realized my ATG was in the area and promptly flanked and killed it.

I'm guessing ATG get decreased accuracy at max range. This is counter intuitive gameplay wise since a competent player will try to keep his ATG as far as possible from the enemy front line while still being in range. If a gun has to be 20 meters from a tank to hit it, the tank will simply bypass and circle strafe it.

Bad enough guns can barely get a shot or two off before they are flanked.

All AT weapons have the same accuracy values, namely .05 near and .025 far. Their accuracy is dependent on the target's unit size, so at near range, firing at a stug (size 14), you have a 70% chance to hit. This goes down the further away the unit is. At point blank you should not miss any size 20 units (medium tanks such as the IV/t-34) and above, however anywhere beyond point blank range you will have a chance to miss these units.

Don't increase the Zis RoF when barrage still exisits. If a barrage shot hits a tank, it's hitting a tank "as normal dmg". I feel barrage at 60(?) muni is a fine cost.


Zis barrage does 80 damage and 60 pen, with the shot having to actually hit the tank to have a chance to do damage. It is nowhere near the same as actually shooting the tank.

its not really counter intuitive. weapons are less accurate at range. not making the realism argument here, but thats true in real life and the game. that alone makes it intuitive. even just looking at game mechanics, ALL weapons are less accurate at range. small arms, AT guns, tank guns, mortars, howitzers, you name it, its less accurate the further you shoot. i guess sniper is the 1 exception. i agree its very frustrating to have AT guns miss a few shots in a row, leading to them getting flanked, so many a small accuracy buff is in order, but not too much. i dont think they should hit tanks 100% of the time at long ranges, even if theyre stationary

Both AT guns need to be buffed. This game is far more of a tank spam fest than it was in vCoh.

at least the russian AT gun hits most of the time .... unlike the uber useless PaK which misses against t70 quite regularly.

I have even seen it miss 3 shots in a row against an su85 standing still.

... they have the SAME ACCURACY; it misses agianst the t70 because the t70 has 14 unit size, same as a stug, and considered small. SU-85 has 22 unit size, which is considered a medium tank, so you have the same chance as hitting a t34 as you do a su-85 with a pak.

Why do you keep ignoring the fact that they have the same accuracy?

What?

But its doesnt fire 50% slower.
It doesn't fire at half speed of PaK.
It fires at 66&% of PaK, which is 2/3.

ill just use 4 for pak and 6 for zis since theyre nice round numbers. 6 is 50% more than 4. 4 is 2/3 of 6 meaning its 33% less. 50% more means 50% slower since it takes 50% longer to shoot. 33% less time means pak shoots 33% faster.

it just depends which way you compare it.

Probably lack of perceiving reality...
On-Topic: I never use ZiS,like with the MG,better decrew a Pak an there you have it,I need an AT gun,not an vulnerable version of SU 76(which barrage is better and FREE,yay)

Discussion: ATG's first shot always hits? Would make for an interesting combo with camo doctrine abilities and a hold fire function

Regardless small to moderate accuracy buffs are in order against small targets especially, such as t70s.

ATG should always hit a vehicle of any size sitting still. Its too stupid to see a t34 sitting still and miss

Though it's kinda funny that in battle reports somewhere is stated "ATGs had no problem hitting a 1x1m spot in 800m distance". Yeah, I see that.

Could it be, that somehow (unintended) cover modifier works for tanks, too? Sometimes it feels like Pak misses several shots on T70 standing still in bomb craters.

We tried. Vehicles do not have cover.

t70s are the smallest vehicles in the game (in stats). they are the hardest to hit with AT guns. you cant argue realism here, tank battles didnt happen at 40m either.

This is due to terrain affecting the height of the vehicle. All weaponry become less accurate in this game when two units are at different heights, even if the height difference is essentially negligible (crater, small hill, etc.). It doesn't make a big difference in small arms combat but it does with slow-loading weapons like AT Guns and tanks.

Is this intentional? Because it's pretty frustrating.
