God imagine the RAGE if the Zis lost barrage and was mirrord DPS with the Pak 40...the tears would be legendary. The rage quits would be historic.

The amount of players saying the Panther/Tiger/P4/Stug etc were usless would overload COH2.org.

Surely it would be the herald of the end times....

great replay, but shows alot more problems to the game. to be honest, is2 just need a slight buff to its hp and maybe turret speed but thats optional. its currently at a pretty good position in tank vs tank combat.

more importantly, when comparing tigers and is2, its not the performance of these tanks against each other, they both can have a chance of destroying each other.

however, its german superiority its anti tank gun thats blunting the potential of is2. paks have an amazing dps with good penetration values and really puts a stop to is2/ or any other soviet armour rampage with a steady stream of effective fire. not only that, its available every game with the t2 meta for germans.

yet the tiger is still so cost effective despite having somewhat similar stats to the is2 is because of soviet rather crappy AT, more specifically, the ZiS gun. it has a subpar dps and inherent weakness with long reloads, which means a miss or deflected shot gives alot more time for tigers to recover/retreat/charge forward into safety zones. on top of zis being bad, its also not readily available to all soviet strategies because of it is prohibitively expensive to get t1 or t2 without delaying t3/t4.

This +1000

Good post stole my thunder.

StugE??? So T70 too...

T70 op plz nerf

I use the IS-2 quite regularly. Thing is, if the Ostheer player does not have the heaviest of At, meaning Tiger/Elefant available, he has a serious problem on his hands. IS-2 dominates both P4s and StuGs, and comes in a doc that shines against Paks. The Panther on the other hand cannot really hurt infantry and can be almost safely ignored by itself - unlike ie. the P4 which can accumulate serious damage towards soft targets.

Except it only kills Paks its in range of. And if its not in range of the Pak its pretty much dead meat. Because the Pak has more DPS than the elephant. So if a Pak is properly positioned its going to kill the crap out of an IS2. Way more effectivley than a Zis can do to a Tiger even at Vet.

Because at vet the Zis gets close to a NON vet Paks DPS but its still shooting a target with more HPs. All you need to do to knock out an IS2 is faust it then Pak it. It will never get in range of the Pak since it moves so slow with engine damage and every other penetration of the Pak seems to give it a Star of Vet. Also even though Paks TWP is bugged you can still use it on a disabled IS2 since it cant really dodge the shot like faster tanks can.

IS2 is very much underperforming at its role assuming that now its role is to be equal to the Tiger in all things. Since I see the Tiger two shotting 6 man squads with a faster ROF and the IS2 sometimes 1 shotting 4 man squads (but NOWHERE NEAR what it used to do) and the fact they both cost the same...the IS2 is the crappy version of the two for certain.


Edit:

Also go look at what a Tiger does to a Zis this patch. Same effect about the same amount of time...takes less total damage doing it.

Did someone consider that the reason of such nerfs may be the fact that in the add-on will be more powerfull weapons? Maybe wurframen will be much better than the actual Werfer.

It would be silly to do it that way. The overall nerf to all arty means the only way to punish camping is with Offmaps. I dont like this. Arty needs a cost decrease by a TON. Kat and werfer need a pretty big buff.

Punish people trying to wait for super heavies behind walls of support teams.
