????? M1910 Maxim Heavy Machine Gun Team: Population from 6 to 7 ?????

Seriously? Why not just delete this unit at all. It is seriously the most pathetic unit in the game.
Here is the thing, I understand the reason you guys nerf it. Most people who know how to use Maximum in team games will at least build three of them. And I am of those people. BUT, it is because we need at least three of them to cover the same job that can be easily done with only 2 Mg-42.

Some of my friends constantly encountered crashes when loading City 17. Anybody else has the same issue.

I think Italy has enough units for the faction: M15/42 main tank and Semovente da 75/34 and Semovente da 90/53 as anti-tank. P26/40 doctrinal tank with the ability to switch between ordinary and HEAT shells.

The ideas are good, but the balance would be too hard to achieve. M15 can't do anything against any Allies Mediums( or even UK's Infantry tanks). 75/34 and 90/53, on the other hand, as the other SPGs are the hardest to balance category. You can't give 90/53 more than 60 range, fast ROF, and mobility simultaneously because, oh well, it just ends up like another Su-76. 75/34 will most likely become an Italian Stug. I know they are testing switching ammo for Stug III in CoH3, but I suspect it will most likely get removed since we all remember how op it was in CoH2 about six years ago(when Stug III main gun had AOE).

Seriously, time to stop this drama.
If you guys want to see an independent Italian, or maybe the Japanese forces present in the game. There is no other way but to introduce some phototypes or even pure made-up units. Neither of these two countries even had a formidable army during the war.
Let us be honest here, at least in CoH2, the main deciding factor in the late games in team games are how many heavy tanks each player has. Which, to some degree, is a great blessing to the German force but a complete turn down for the Italian and the Japanese. P40 never served in the Italian army. Type-3, oh well, got somewhat present in the war, was still only a direct counterpart to the Sherman.
That is being said, if any of you guys think you are smart enough to present a roster for those two forces without introducing any phototype. Go ahead, do it, and show them here.

And another baseless claim by you



Have you ever noticed those tiny little things called "footnotes" on Wikipedia? If any article has no sources then I won't use it (your linked Tank archives article has no sources for most parts either btw.). If it has then I don't see how it would be bad simply because "Wikipedia"



Ah yes. Tankarchives. The guy who claimed that Soviets only lost 1.15 times as much men as the axis.

Also even his article states that T-150 refers to the very first KV 3 prototype that was built ... and that it was lost at Leningrad.

So your own sources speak against you: No T-150s as there only was one and also no T 150 at Smolensk. Also the article makes it look like the T-150 was the only KV-3 ever built so no "KV-3s" either ... or rather no Kv 3s at all










Still less than Pak 44s 210 mms at 1000 meters at 30 ° though. Also (according to another Tankarchives Article) the M-75 did not even pass trial stage:

"Since the experience of modern war did not confirm the need for such guns to fight tanks, further work on the M-75 gun and its ammunition is considered unreasonable. Reporting on the above, I ask for your permission to cease all work on the 107 mm M-75 gun"




You may not have noticed this but development of CoH2 is already done while CoH3s isn't. Also Ostwind was at least used at the eastern front unlike Black Prince

Last post by me.

Sorry, I misread your post, I thought you sourced from World Of Tanks.

Footnotes are great sources; I used them as well. But what you said was, "According to Wikipedia." Next time stay clear of the source then.

According to a book written by John D Salt(if not somebody else, I have the book with me but in another language, I can't see it anymore online now) , the penetration of Pak44 at 1000 meters ( trail done by the Soviets in 1945) was around 180~185mm. When comparing all these data, it is always better to compare trials data done by the same country since they usually are base on the same control environment. They did officially dropped M-75 due to poor ammo performance, but, just like so many other trails guns, it was sent to the front in very few numbers regardless.

Yeah, I should clarify this. Yes, the only T-150(which is not the Kv-3 we know), which was called T-150, was, in fact, in Leningrad. There are also T-150s built but later called as Kv-1 served in the Smolensk. T-223 ( which was the Kv-3 we knew ) was also severed in Leningrad with a Kv-1 torrent equipped, though. I have read some sources about some Kv-4 phototypes equipped with Kv-1 torrent also served in Leningrad, if not Smolensk.

Now here is the thing, you always take all sources with a grain of salt. So I did with tank archives. But, not as you said, many of its articles do have a direct link to another Russian sources article, and many of those articles could be directly traced back to an original Russian archive. Not just because he claimed the german tanks were bad, it then make me think german tanks were bad.

Also, if I was not mistaken, OST was supposed to portrait 1943 german Wehrmacht. Ostwind was not even a thing back then.
