Actually the StugIII G has the same damage output against tanks as before, and costs less. Only it defense got nerfed.

On the other hand the T34 got more armor... hm.

But overall the StugIII should be as good as ever if you use it in a position where no one shoots at it, aka with a P4.

Pgrens don't need to get close, their damage is good at all ranges, the sweet spot is 15 range which is approximately the Molotov throw range. It's also worth to bear in mind that pgrens at about 25-30 range also do more damage than a vanilla grenadier squad at the same range.

Pgren's fire on the move accuracy is also not as good as it once was. So they aren't as effective at running up to squads and melting them like in the patch before the small arms change.

Based on a very small sample size I can say PGrens lose against unupgradded vet1 cons, both units without cover, cons standed still, my Pgrens run into range 15. Seems odd for the MP and intended role...

I think maybe KV-2 in Siegemode counts as arty, aka has HE? (<--personal guess, nothing official about KV2)

Somethings that come to mind here:

German MG42 and DSHK: Does that mean, MG42 ability still gives the flat penetration bonus?

I wonder how much loss of penetration the PAK43 will suffer. I would guess almost nothing, taking into account that it smashes through buildings and I would hope so. But why would they then reduce the Pen from 400 to 340? With 340 being the highest armor soviets have. If it would always penetrate they could've let it at 400.


Reararmor hits get a indication now! YEAH! I was always for this For me this is the change that improves tank combat the most xD


Scoutcars: So... how will a frontal shootout end between the 2?


Ostwind: Even more Scatter? meh. Probably still a buff.

StugIII: Less frontarmor... not what I hoped for. More anti inf? interesting...

No word on the CommandP4? I hope they didn't forget him. (Or should I hope it?)


Osttruppen: To similar with Grens now. (I think, but lets see).

General inf changes: We will see. Sounds a biiiit overkill. I am just remembering why I didn't like to use (/give my enemy) an MG42.

The Questions not really reflect my opinion, so I am gonna voice it here:

Question1: No, they should patch more often, in smaller batches.

But I also want to note, that my take on what is inbalanced might differ from yours, AND Relics might differ from yours which means it doesn't take to long, they just don't see it as a problem, which I can understand veryoften. Just imagine they would do everything this Forum says .


Question2: Definitly no. Especially some easy to fix bugs. (Which we assume they are easy to fix), some bugs are ok, there are always somes that are hard to fix, but Relic overlooks some easy to fix ones I think.


Question3: Ehhhh, "popular whishes" was the wrong word. You should have said good suggestions. Popular =/= good. And Holdfire was a bad example because they actually implement this, so everyone who knews it is biased. But after all I think Relic does kiiinda a good job. (Because see Question1: Would be a funny game if Relic actually listened to this forum), on the other hand some easy suggestions should be implemented, or faster (hold fire).




So in the end. I am happy Relic doesn't listen to stupid people, but I would hope they would listen more to smart people (obviously me / the Suggestions I want).
And some easy things could be implemented. (earlyer). (Holdfire).
