I'll reactivate this since I have a question that is not really worth opening a separate thread for, especially since there is a lot of discussion going on at the moment.

I am trying to recalculate the DPS of infantry. I have used the formula that is posted somewhere here as well as in Vipper's DPS guide from 2016 (see spoiler)

For the K98 of vet0 Grenadiers, Serealia gives a reference of 5,988 DPS at range 0.

When I calculate it however, I can't reproduce this.

For total damage, I use the following stats (see spoiler, all stats taken from Serealia; if there is only a range of values given I use the mean of the borders of the interval) and get to a value of 77,792 damage for a full cycle.

For the time needed for this full cycle, I get 12,1725 seconds using the values below. This overall brings me to a DPS of 6,39 which is almost 7% off the value given in Serealia.
At range 35 I get a value of 2,28 which is fairly close to 2,263 given in Serealia using the same formula.

Now, one oddity that I can't check at the moment is that Grens have a MIN of 5 and MAX of 6 for the reload frequency. From my understanding this means that they fire sometimes 6, sometimes 7 shots (i.e. 5/6 cooldowns) before reloading. Assuming that this is wrong and they'd always fire 7 shots (for whatever reason, a standard clip had 5 shots plus potentially one chambered), I am able to almost match the DPS at range 0, but applying this logic to range 35 will then yield a DPS value that is about 6% less than the reference on Serealia.

What am I doing wrong?



For reference, I'll give a short explanation of my calculations below:

Breakthrough Doctrine
Most immortally I would like to see unit move to Armor Elite doctrine and SturmTiger a pure breakthrough unit move to this commander. Then Sturm tiger could be buffed to become more reliable and have better synergy with both AT Fuss and Assault artillery. In addition JT feel far more suited for Elite armor.

I think that change in particular is good and also fits better the themes of both commanders, however the JT should probably not get heat shells.

not even sure if it was ever figured out what exactly caused the bug, but i'd say it's rather unlikely the 64 bit update fixed it by accident. or maybe it did, that would certainly be a welcome change to the usual introduction of new bugs with each new patch

With the amount of bugs that are yet to be discovered, you never know what accidentally got fixed without ever anyone noticing.

On topic though: as long as the IRHT has this bug, there will never be a come back of this ability.

Infantry Sections have more EHP at vet 3 than vet 5 Füssierliers despite having one man less simply because their RA is way better.

Only if you compare vs 5 men Fusiliers.
Otherwise it is 606 HP of IS vs 623 of Panzerfusiliers.

With 160 total damage 2 AT grenades will always cause engine damage to medium tank.

On the other hand 2 faust with 140 far penetration have a 0.24% probability to bounce and not cause engine damage.

Allied snare are different not weaker.

Imo the penetration and deflection mechanism is fine for snares.

I don't think it works like this. If I understand it correctly, the values are given for the Faust weapon which has a max 30 range. Cast range of the ability is 17 (or 18?), which basically means you have a pen value of about 150 at least. The only question remains when the distance check is being done: the moment you click the ability or the moment the dude actually takes his pocket Faust and fires it.
