Re: Does anyone think that the Soviet is a bit too weak?

1.does anybody bother with su-100 upgrade? is the extra armor and penetration all that necessary?

2. whats better penetration on panthers the upgun t34/85 or the SU 85?

3.another question for the pros what wins in a straight shootout p4 or t34/76?
Soviet is OP

Re: Does anyone think that the Soviet is a bit too weak?

1) No, that's why it's being removed/moved

2) The SU-85 ALMOST always penetrates panthers at every range. Only at long range there's around a 2% chance to not penetrate. T34/85 only penetrates around 43% of the time at long range.

3) T34/76 beats a P4 IMO. P4s sometime have a the odd bounce off against sherman armour. It's very close though.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

Well, I not God, like Dennis, - I could be wrong.  ;D ;D
That post was to describe my observations and the mood they bring. Done without some deep analysis, it might contain some flaws (major and minor).

Now, back to tanks.
What do you, people, think: should the T-34 series have a greater (slightly) acceleration and deceleration than that of panthers?
Put aside history books, think game-wise.

I, personally, think they should, since these parameters are what is required for maneuvering during battle encounters,  and lighter tanks should have some preference in that over the heavy ones.

IMO they are fine as it. They should have by now the same acc/dec than panthers.

Might controls everything, and without strength you cannot protect anything. Let alone yourself...

That's exactly, what I'm talking about: they have THE SAME PARAMETERS AS PANTHERS, considering acceleration/deceleration, which, in my opinion, is not all that good, really.

Panthers are very mobile tanks. They have much better acc/deceleration than P4s or shermans. If fits in their role as a tank hunter. T34s still have a higher max speed I believe, so if they have the same mobility as panthers as well they should be very fast tanks now.
