Why are Allied tanks so OP?

Made some OC. Rangers are OP.
https://youtu.be/l_RoLSSRe5Y
Why is it so hard to shoot down aircraft
I had 3 Whirbelwinds shooting at a fucking scout airplane from right under it and it only pulled back
first
>>174478276
>Why is it so hard to shoot down aircraft
AA is there to stun and deny enemy planes areas
fighters are for shooting down planes
>>174478189
the final solution to the allied question
Critique my new deck lads - its won me three games in a row now.
>>174478190
wow, great OC friend
>>174478570
Thanks.
>>174478276
Hitting planes is generally pretty hard when you have no computer to help you.
>>174478549
>jeep .50
for what purpose
for the price of 2 you can get a M16 which is what was literally nicknamed the "krautmower" "chopper" "meat grinder"
>>174478549
>taking the M4A1
Take another card of Stuarts instead
>>174478720
Why tho? The M4A1 has slaughtered many krauts for me
They should bring back the explosion effects and tracers/trails from Wargame
>>174478771
you can sacrifice M5s due to having a lot of them and you can use them to probe
Plus, AT in phase A will fuck up the Sherman just as much as the Stuart
M4A1 loses a lot of it's value a lot faster
These bombs look funny
>>174478549
I like recon + MG jeep over scouts, the P-38 bomber is pretty good, and as the other anon said the jeep .50 is pretty pointless when you can have M16s. also, unless you're running out of ammo often in phase A, might be good to bump the GMCs up to B for the extra 2 trucks.
other than that, if it's working for you then it's fine m8
I will complete this campaign faster than anyone on /wgg/ ever has!
Could M4A3's really take out Panthers IRL?
>>174479842
the 76s could at long ranges while the 75 you needed to be <100m or so to get a chance at penetrating.
>>174479842
if we are talking about 76mms yes, frontally through the manlet from <1000m but the manlet is a small target plus cannon accuracy makes it very hard
if this game got the M36 any of the big cats wouldn't be a problem
>The M36 was well-liked by its crews, being one of the few armored fighting vehicles available to US forces that could destroy heavy German tanks from a distance. Corporal Anthony Pinto of the 1st Platoon, Company A, 814th Tank Destroyer Battalion knocked out a Panther at 4,200 yards. Another 814th gunner, Lt. Alfred Rose, scored a kill against a Panther at 4,600 yards, the maximum range of the telescopic sight. However, the Panther's glacis plate could deflect certain shots from the 90 mm gun at just 150 yards, and the front armor of the Tiger II could not be penetrated at all.
>>174480224
>the M36 first served in combat in Europe in October 1944
oops
>>174480823

>tfw no TD support for 3rd Armored

>>174480224
>M36 Jackson named after General Stonewall Jackson
deepest lore
>>174482436
>3rd Armored phase A rush
I thought the Firefly and cheap gun halftracks put an end to people trying that
>>174481149
Just having the fucking M10 would make a huge difference. All they need is the ability to shoot at targets from 1200m away.
>>174482574
It still works if the 12th player didn't immediately spawn the firefly or sometimes you get lucky
>>174482352
but no HEAT shells
>>174482620
That's one of the biggest issues with 3rd, they have nothing to answer or even pen the 1200m guns the germans can throw down on the field early on, and that just snowballs as Panthers start rolling out in Phase B
Indianhead is actually quite excellent.
It's my Allied deck of choice for now.
Can some anon make a list of all the inaccuracies of the timeline? I'm not autistic but I know someone here is.
>>174487303
So some idiot sent hordes of men into your standard sherman
>>174487434
and?
>>174487813
Doesn't make it a good deck, just means you fought retards.
>>174487303
they're like 3rd armored, except instead of pretending to be good in the lategame they're actually good early. also, plenty of 76s, including one in A
they seem genuinely good for small games and less-open maps/areas
>>174487992
>I can't win A phase
or
>I play 10v10 only
>>174488313
They have all the tools you need to dominate A phase and then stunlock counterattacks in B-C phase.
Xylophones auto-stun armor blobs, which you can exploit with the 2vet Wolverines.
And unlike the 17thSS, Indianhead isn't destined for nerfing.
>>174479381
you gotta go fast, faster than Sonic. Only buy the Kuznetsov if your planning on buying their attack helicopters and committing to attacking Gobo on turn 2. If you weren't good at using ATGM infantry than you will now as they did the majority of the heavy work for me due to all the japanese armor and your lack-of.
Give Luftland a Pak 43 card or more 8.8cm cards.
Give 3AD some Wolverines or Hellcats.
Take away half of the 17th's Nebel cards.
Keep Scots as is.
Keep 12SS as is.
Keep 2ndID as is.
>>174488874
Hon hon but if we give le 3AD l'TDs then the 2ID will not be unique :^)
>>174489005
2ID gets all that crazy Ranger shit and arty options.
3AD gets Jumbos and E8s.
>>174489114
>E8s
No they don't, they get non HVSS shermans with the 76.
'39 battle of France DLC when??? I want to fuck Germans up as the French.

>>174488498
>>174488632
I saw somewhere that North Korea has manpads attached to literally everything.
I guess they realize how impossible it is for them to win an air war so they might as well be the biggest pain in the ass to fly over.
The idea of literally every tank and APC having manpads on it is pretty interesting. You'd think they';d eventually take something down right?
It's almost like there is a reason A-10's and that type of CAS is being phased out...

You call that a bombing raid?
infantry AT should have a 100% chance to hit
driving your expensive vehicle within AT range of a hedge you haven't cleared is a huge mistake, and whether it's punished or not shouldn't be up to RNG. the worst is when the vehicle has a 20mm or something, and just stuns/vaporizes the infantry squad instantly, which effectively rewards that guy's fuck-up.

Let's get some mowas going, who's on steam?
>>174506196
To open up on this post.
I just had a match. i got my ass kicked at the start. literally steamrolled but some stug.
( on a side note if they're going to get something like that i really think the Croc should be back at Phase A )
But as soon as it hit phase B i managed to counter attack and regain some ground. i was massing units for a good push. this was supposed to be the counter attack of all counter attacks.
All until one of my team left (3v3) his entire flank collapsed and i couldn't support it. he literally ruined the entire match because he got memed by pushing up too far alone. absolute shitter it made me more mad than being memed by nebs. 109 rockets and any tank the Axis could throw at me. these people should really be banned.
protip: When you zoom all the way out and pan to the edges of the map you can see what other maps we get to play on.
>>174492343
BMP design feature. Every third BMP in a company had a MANPADS and the guy who carried it had to be seated below one of the hatches. Later on entire AA platoons like you saw in the first pic supported 2S6 Tunguskas as the Strela-10 and Shilka became obsolete.
>>174502498
That wouldn't be realistic.
every single conquest game is like this:
You roll up, you control 60% of your front, you see a friendly front is at 15% you decide to send in a stuart and some infantry to help his front.
You push up and his units stay in the city way back from the frontline.
Your ally on the other side of the map is asking for air support because he didn't put any aircraft in his deck you send in two fighters to sort them out.
The entire front is now 52 and we're slowly winning.
Meanwhile on your original front, the enemy now begins to assault your position, the two AT guns and the infantry is easily beaten as the enemy advances with artillery and airplanes bombing everything that moves, and panthers roll up.
You have 120 points left after helping your team, you spend them on some infantry and recon.
Your front is now at 20% and your entire team begins to blame you for the fact that we're now losing, nobody is sending in any reinforcements and we lose the game quickly there after.
Wow conquest is really the gamers choice i see.
>>174513115
Play 1v1 then if you don't want to deal with having shit teams
god dammit guys, just get some friends in stead of blaming the team all the time.
>>174513223
or this
>>174511310
>Shilka

>>174513641
By the 80's on, yes, it was easy for the most recent US Attack helicopters like the AH-64 and literally anything with a maverick to counter. The Tunguska and it's missile were pretty much required to make sure that two Apaches weren't going to be the end of your tank regiment.
>>174513223
>>174513417
or just stop playing the shitty conquest game made.
>wow guys we're holding 51% of the frontline this actually means something in terms of winning a war
>>174514568
>wow guise we lost our entire front and most of our men, but because we spammed rocket arty and camped our anti tank guns at spawn we won the war!

>>174514568
Yeah, K/D ratio is what wins wars, just ask Russians.
>>174514697
conquest is literally boiled down to, who ever gets the first leaver loses.
Nice game mode
At least destruction has some actual battles going on
>>174515274
but it doesn't though, it has people camping near the centre of the map, refusing to advance and spamming artillery
>>174515334
>refusing to advance and spamming artillery
sorry but that is conquest
>>174513115
Play it like me - Never help your team, unless someone is explicitly asking for help and fighting 2/3vs1. If you are getting ahead just use your excess points on creating flank from your spearhead. Works much better than trying to support some noob.

You can open a bunch of NDF files with all explanations in French. It's not tools at all. They just decompiled their game files, something they could easily have done for every wargame in a split second.
They have given exactly zero tools, the most they could bring themselves to do is write a simple batch file that uploads a folder to steam, and doesn't even have a UI at all.
Also in the game files this game is called "WargameNormandie"
Remember lads.
The 17th SS is an arty support unit.
>>174517983
>you can easily steamroll the 17th
>It's an art support division
>muh Jumbos
False flag confirmed
Fuck me, the way accuracy works in this game is fucking retarded.
>>174516492
>-15% aim time per star
Holy shit
>>174517983
I don't know why people are crying over Sk 18s, its not even that good and I dropped it from the deck. Also I have been playing 17. for few hours now and they have really weak infantry and pretty restricted anti-infantry weapons. If you play very agressively with infantry + support you can really push them to the wall, but obviously most of those vegetables from steam forums would rather dig themselves in and not move for an inch without squadron of planes and tank blob.
>>174518556
It's very difficult to push on non-urban/rough terrain without plane or tank support (unless by 'support' you included 'support vehicles')
>>174518664
The Grille and the StuGs are more than enough for that though. The AT guns themselves can also act as infantry support
>>174518383
aw boo hoo your units miss sometimes
>>174518482
Actually each star gives you a +1 to your 2d6 dice rolls.
>>174518482
what's holy shit about that? Just means you fire a fraction of a second earlier
>>174516492
According to what Sharkey posted in earlier threads additional veterancy stars should not add fixed value to accuracy, but it should depend on the level eg. 5 Acc + 1 star means +14% CTH, but for 8 Acc + 1 star it would be +11% CTH
>>174518816
Shooting first is very valuable
>>174518752
Maybe if you can contain your shit posting, i'll explain to you how accuracy in this game is based on rolling two six sided dice. And not about how my units miss.
>>174518664
When I play 3rd Inf I always choose the non-urban terrain part of the map for a start because I know if I get engaged in a town/bocage fights I will lose my time and momentum, meanwhile on more open areas I can push with full force and always gain ground. Key to succes is not focusing on enemy main counters like FF or Stug F and instead intesifying push in the weaker parts of the front.
>>174519032
Post something more than a venting of your frustrations
>>174519281

Are you retarded? Do you not comprehend what is being said? Either way, I will actually explain for everyone's benefit.

>>174519480
I find a lot of 3A players push the town really hard for some reason when I play Luft, but I have no idea why
Fear of AT guns probably
>>174519503
I can't wait for your explanation of why odds-based accuracy is bad in this case
hmm
>>174520257
Koingstiger is 380 points so Jumbo should be 380 points, they have the same armour.
>>174520117
I like linear accuracy increase. And well, it's more that this isn't explained anywhere in the game. And most people don't seem to understand it when they are talking about it.
Isn't this thing supposed to have some AP value?
>>174520725
Are you saying that accuracy doesn't increase as you get closer to your target?
By how much does armor reduce HE values?
How can I improve my deck
>>174520725
Except there is a linear acc increase.
>acc increases as range reduces
>acc increases for every subsequent shot made at a target in sequence
Eugen just hasn't given us tranparant values for these.

Also, remove C Phase Panzer IV Hs and put more panthers.
>>174519804
aye but coupled with OP axis airforce and long range artillery to counterbattery your xylos the nerbel is still OP as the axis have so much more leeway with it
>>174521118
It does.
At 500m your chance to hit with 4 acc is 27.78%
At 499m your chance to hit with 4 acc is
41.67%
>>174478014
the M7 DD and tank support armor combo in phase A appears to do really well for me; the support nAT trucks are cheaper then the armor and act as surrogate stuarts, while the M7 DD wipes any emplacements that appear during a push.
A few times, i'ev been able to completely wiped enemy phase A troops just by catching them all as they dismount and using some mortars with the gun trucks and M7 to insta pin them.
It also does pretty well stunning enemy armor, but I haven't seen it kill any yet (it has massive HE damage but no AT).
still, the decks shit once late game occurs and the mortar/air/panther spam comes out the woodwork
>>174521780
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
I don't know why people harp on about mortars, they don't seem like much of a threat compared to what else I could buy for the points
Maybe playing Luft has put me in the mindset of no AP = useless
>>174521780
>At 500m your chance to hit with 4 acc is 27.78%
>At 499m your chance to hit with 4 acc is 41.67%
Gonna need a source on that one Hans. Accuracy doesn't increase that sharply over a meter.
>>174522042
M7 DD is excellent ATG hunter, but you get so few 2vet GMCs that I don't see any reason to take them over an M4A1 DD.
Also Ranger motars are OP.
>>174522220
nah mortars are fine, it's the artillery guns that fuck up the game; you cant hit em, their defended to fuck by enemy armor, and the only counter is wheeling out your own arty and playing battleshits: steel division mode until one side destroys the other's artillery or supply trucks.
Mortars are fine as there clos enough to the battlefield to be hit by aircraft and run out of ammo fairly quickly.
>>174522265
I go for the 2 vet GMCs because they're 20 points cheaper so I can throw more men out early game, and are a little faster then the M4A1's.
>>174521780
>>174522053
>>174522229
>>174522821
You can look at the game files with a program like notepad++. The accuracy in SD44 is static increases at predefined ranges. You have to opt into the modding beta though to look at them.
I made this neat little picture to explain what i learned by reading the game files.
>>174523021
are you sure the game doesnt interpolate between the rangetables?
>>174523021
>acc PENALTY when over 50% range
ok, that's a horseshit design choice, but it explains a lot
The listed unit acc ought to be the fucking baseline, not the average.
>>174523104
It is divided into integers, you can't really interpolate a dice roll. At above 500m range you get a -1 to your dice roll.
You gotta remember those percentages are not your accuracy, they are your chance to roll a relevant dice outcome.
>>174523021
>>174523430
is this different from wargame:wargame?
THERE IS STILL NO PENALTY FOR LEAVING GAMES
WHY
WHY
>>174523718
because it gives me an erection joining 2 vs 2 games and leaving right after
>>174523692
The file refers to a "Fin Dice Roll System" and a "New Dice Roll System" which is what SD44 uses. I think what they changed was that in Wargame they had semi increments, that was only + 0.5 of a dice roll. So assuming that 2 increments in Red Dragon is 1 increment in SD44. 50% accuracy in red dragon is actually 58.34% accuracy in reality. Probably with different range modifiers though.
But using dice rolls there is no way to get an actual natural number of accuracy. So if they really used a similar system in RD all the accuracies were essentially lies.
They need to bring back town names from RUSE.
>>174524612
But I don't want to know the name of the town I'm demolishing.

>>174523021
Your table is actually incorrect.
t. wrote the current accuracy prediction model for STD in the VIP beta
A unit with 5 accuracy and with 2 veterancy stars as base + a command tank for a total of 3 veterancy stars has a 58.33% chance of hitting at max range, not 72.23%
>>174526284
>using nato's retarded symbols
they all look the fucking same
Would having a leader next to my butterfly protect it from someone trying to make it perpetually retreating with a plane in phase A?
I can't think of anything else, hitleryugend has zero working aa in phase A.
>>174526416
That's because you're bad.

On an unrelated note, is anyone else having trouble keeping control over their dogfighters? My Mustangs keep wandering outside of the area I place them in and end up getting shot down because they get stuck in engagements over the enemy's area.
>>Artillery and Air rape ensues and he rage quits
Is arty and air even able to kill a tank without pounding him for 30 minutes? Why did he quit?
>>174531961

So Istolev77308. Is this close to the current version? Or am I playing some shitty version of the game nobody likes?
>>174531961
Because as the arty and air was stunning everything I started rolling in my Jumbos/75s/76s and he didn't seem to bother with any other AT assets while his flank was overrun by my teammate.
It was a good match and I think I'm finally getting the hang of things now.
>>174478014
>when you rush a town and find it empty as the Luftwaffe so you secure your sector and can now use all your points to spam AA and Air support for the rest of your team

>>174531749
They do a pretty wide circle, so I always send them to idle well behind my lines, usually over my AA when I have them.
>>174531749
I use all my dogfighters only as interceptors or a screen, and preferably in pairs whenever possible, so I don't have to keep much control over them. They do their single job and then evac.

>>174530095
Your model may have its numbers from the game code but obviously they fail to adequately explain the situations as seen in game, maybe there are more hiddne modifiers in the code that causes your model to be inaccurate. My model was developed entirely based on in-game situations and extensive testing, and has 100% accuracy for all in-game situations when firing at max range.
For example according to your model a tank with 5 accuracy and no veterancy would have a 3 on the accuracy roll at its max range, but in reality it has a 4, thus giving it 16.67% CTH instead of 8.33% as predicted by your table.

>>174536427
I just take one card in B if it's available. if not, I guess take one in A so you don't have to wait 20 minutes to use it. with the amount of supply that trucks carry, I don't think I'd take more than one card unless you're arty spamming hard.

aren't we getting a French division?
If so, that's were you look for the secret super weapons and underpriced goodies
>>174539520
Ignoring all its shortcomings (no gunner periscope, its a really big fucking problem), logistical strain, and reliability problems it was a very formidable tank.
When watching replays, can I not skip ahead? Can I just check the leaderboard?
>>174539667
Yeah that is also wrong, since it would have 16.67% chance to hit, considering a unit without any veterancy stars actually has 1 less than the accuracy stated on the unit card when compared against a 2d6 normal distribution.
>>174539973
whats worse is that naziboos actually believe this. How can you be so retarded to think that superior armor>superior reliability and strategic use?
>>174540337
They also tell other people to google things, which if you did google you would actually find the sherman had one the highest crew survival rates of the war (around 80%)

I was thinking that if you only let 3AD have a few, and only in phase c it would avoid cries of being OPwho am I kidding wehr's will bitch about anything
>>174540606
I used to get my ass kicked in phase A until I realized the key isn't so much halftrack spam as it is Stuart + CMD Stuart + Recon backed up by infantry half tracks.
>>174541792
>>174541098
What I'm quickly learning with 3rd Armor is you need to grab ground quickly with Stuarts/Greyhound/Recon, secure it with your infantry and AT, and then start building up your armor. Leaders are pretty critical for the bonuses.
When you start making more offensive moves in Phase C, you have to pay close attention to LOS and use the terrain to negate the German's range advantage. Recon stays ahead to spot AT Guns/TDs and use artillery/Thunderbolts to either panic them or destroy them.
You aren't going to win any sweeping advances but you will beat the Germans through sheer weight of fire. You're just going to take a lot of casualties doing it.
Which is oddly accurate for 3AD.
>>174542908
Nope, usually on Floods, Straight to the Point, Back to Inchon, Gunboat Diplomacy, and another D-Day in paradise.
I usually played from 6v6 to 10v10
>>174543297
thank god only 260 were built
>>174543979
Yeah artillery gets stronger the more points you stick on a tiny map. Strait in particular is a joke, with the one tiny 2km frontline that can be bombarded indefinitely.
When a map says 1v1, it's best played in a 1v1. With the exception and ridge and 38th parallel which are both misclassified [should be 2v2 and 3v3 respectively while ingame its 3v3 and 4v4]
Stop talking about Wargame and Steel Division
>>174544402
No
>>174543297
it's endearingly ugly, like a pug
>>174543653
3AD can definitely do that if they have a good start. If they are able to consolidate from a strong Phase A and build up Shermans in Phase B they have a good shot against the Panthers.
The problem is the division really struggles to recover from any significant setback. M4a3s are 160 pts a pop, they die fairly easily and 3AD has bad Phase A/B income. If they're in a good position they can dump all those points into massed tanks, but if they have to waste points replacing losses, buying 100pt AAA or 40pt Rifles it becomes very difficult to achieve the numbers of M4s they need to overcome Panthers or Jagds.
The core balance issue is that as Axis it's relatively easy to knock 3AD behind in materiel by plinking off peripheral units, while 3AD needs to be managed well and/or get lucky to be effective. I like playing 3AD a lot but it's definitely not competitive for most of the game.
>>174544812
>struggles to recover from any significant setback
Even small setbacks can really fuck you over, especially early on when replacing your infantry or recon is expensive or god forbid you run into the Firefly and Cromwell
>>174538507
A regiment carries only 4. That's one Shilka for every battalion. Every battalion already equipped with over 40 BMPs or T-XXs.
any number of 2A42s or 2A46s perform the "direct support" role just fine. For everything else, you spam artillery as the Soviets did.
>>174538507
>>174545275
Nothing is obsolete when most world conflict occurs between countries that can't afford better. Upgunned and uparmoured T-55s are still offered by weapons companies.
If you're a minor nation you'll lose a war to NATO no matter what, so why bother trying to make an Abrams killer when you can shit on T-72s and roll your neighbors?

>>174544812
I certainly agree, and I've been getting lucky lately with being able to handle losses. But I've also played against fairly conservative opponents the last few rounds, so that may play a part in it all.
I also think the Sherman price point should drop by about 10 points or so to make it a better value.
>>174545063
Again, terrain. The FF isn't so OP if you can limit its range.
>>174526848
NATO symbol for the Pz II and for the Koingstiger is the same. RTS icons are objectively superior as they convey much more information much simpler.
I could understand using them in Wargame as a form of autistic roleplay, but in WW2 they aren't even era appropriate, only pretentious faggots gimp themselves using them to show off.
>>174546205
>Pz II and for the Koingstiger
...yes, because they're both tanks.
I bet you enjoy the films of Wes Anderson.
>>174546205
Not that guy, but surely it differentiates with light/med/heavy armor icons? I remember that was a thing in HoI3 at least.
>>174546297
Achually, NATO symbols support differentiation between tank types (light, heavy, medium, recon, etc) but Eugene is lazy
If Eugene implemented NATO symbology better I would use it, but their shitty watered down NATO symbols are objectively less informative at a glance than their RTS symbols.
>>174546343
Not him but I don't think it does

Johann pls go, a number of the symbols were already in use at that time.

Yes. IIRC the light counter is just the standard counter, the medium one has an additional vertical bar on the right, and heavy one has two.

>>174546521
OK, so that's just Eugen things.
Let me rephrase that post:
NATO symbol for the Pz III and for the Panther G is the same. RTS icons are objectively superior as they convey much more information much simpler.
I could understand using them in Wargame as a form of autistic roleplay, but in WW2 they aren't even era appropriate, only pretentious faggots gimp themselves using them to show off.
>>174547980
You're sort of taking an extreme example. The Panzer III was one of the lightest mediums of the war, and the Panther was as heavy in every way as a Tiger
>>174547980
>NATO symbol for the Pz III and for the Panther G is the same
They literally are not
In the game they are, but Eujewn can easily add proper NATO symbols
>>174548131
Yeah, and the symbol is the same. I could use more likely example, like Pz IV vs Panther. Still a huge difference, still the same symbol.

Hey, retard here with a question:
Were AT guns more or less the same types of guns that were on tanks? Or were they more powerful?
>>174555650
the desperation of 3ad players is hilarious now that there's a decent german phase B armor deck; they just instantly rush you in phase A with everything they have, and if they cant puncture your defences in phase A they have to struggle against your stugs, panzers and rocket artillery in phase B, before their jumbos are made futile in phase C by the 22 AP anti tank guns.
I'm seeing players literally throwing 6 tanks at me and in clumps and then rage quitting when my panic causing rocket spam sends them back to spawn
>playing some Wargame
>3 v 3 with two other Soviet decks

>>174555960
Usually the same, with minor differences to the tank versions to fit in the vehicle.
>>174556151
>these cancerous settings
>>174556494
I don't play SD, so why then do AT guns rack up so many kills if they are the same gun but not armored or anything.
I understand that'd be easier to hide and get the first shot but shouldn't they get blown out after that? They can't exactly run.
>>174555175
Enjoy moving that AT gun up to the next piece of cover
>>174557136
against tanks alone, it's sort of the problem that a single HE shell from a tank won't kill a whole gun crew, but an AP shell from the gun often kills the tank in one shot
against good players they pretty much immediately will get fucked by mortars or a rocket plane, though
>>174557136
Shooting from hiding lets you wait until the target is in range for a certain hit, which helps a lot. You also get better access to higher quality guns. A 17-pounder tank is more expensive and less available than the corresponding AT gun. And as soon as they've killed the unit there's nothing there to spot them so they can move unless there's an immediate counter-strike.
>>174557667
Do you keep their guns off until in range?
Because in Wargame I'm pretty sure everything engages the second its in range.
>>174557984
You can tell them to hold fire, same as in Wargame.
>>174557984
You can, but a popular move is to ride a recon squad in a treeline with an AT gun behind.
When the recon squad spots an enemy tank moving into close range the AT gun can move up into the treeline and pop the tank before moving back again.

I've played 1000+ games with NATO and they're objectively inferior. The transport symbol is too similar to the infantry and vehicle ones, so if you're looking at a big lump of units like picrelated, it takes an extra second or two to gauge the exact composition.
The RTS set has problems like this too, manpads being similar to atgm mainly. But the problems there have less impact, you'll never be looking at a big clump of atgm+manpads and trying to gauge how many of each are there.
Ideally I'd run NATO with the transport symbol replaced by an RTS one, and some sort of completely new recon symbol, but without that as an option RTS is preferable to NATO.

Sounds like a contradiction desu
>>174574837
Oh what a consolation prize, the US Armored Division has better tanks than a fucking airborne division.
(your marders still rape M4s because of the 1200m meme so fuck off)
>>174576650
You can be competitive purely because the Stug/FF cannot be in two places at once. After Phase A this advantage disappears.
>>174576825
That is still not an argument that I should be using Phase A armor.

This is the most triggering thing in Steel Division so far.
>>174583505
the accuracy increase the more shots you put at the target.
Is it even possible to beat hard AI on conquest?
>>174584029
My point is that once you have the target ranged with a successful hit your accuracy should instantly go up to maximum, instead of arbitrarily increasing in small increments with each consecutive shot.
>>174587069
the german cannons had so much power each shot fired slightly tilted the laws of nature causing the aim to be slightly off for next shot
>>174587069
well engagements would be determined by who hits first then. Also it is a game dude
>>174582292

>>174591764
>well engagements would be determined by who hits first then
You mean just like it historically happened? Wow what a novelty concept, introducing historical accuracy in a "historically accurate" wargame.
>>174592265
yeah sure it's great when a jumbo gets stunlocked by a panzer 3 because they got a lucky shot first. The current system is way better than your idea.
>>174592593
Sounds like you severely mismanaged your offensive and got punished for it, i see nothing wrong with that.
>>174592743
Well by that logic you shouldn't even operate tanks because every engagement is a failure because of a really lucky shot
>>174592265
The whole series is pretty far from being realistic, just deal with the game-y mechanics.

This is extremely unlikely.
>>174597579
after the third shot you would have atleast 50% chance of hitting though unless your ceew is panicked
>>174598369
If you miss 3 times in a row the crew should become demoralised as they realise that they're terrible tank operators.

>>174604384

>>174604064
Wargame felt slower and the distances larger
>>174604384
Because they were, rare, shitty and mostly used in non-battlefield roles.
>>174604661
Not to mention not even in service in 1944
Give me a reason why I shouldn't buy Steel Division RIGHT NOW.
>>174604764
Also, did Eugen choose the name Steel Division: Normandy just so they could lazy off on the map design? Since it is only normandy people can't really ask for interesting maps, am i right
>>174604746
Pretty sure there were some in limited service for testing since the mid-war, though they didn't produce many until 44/45.
>>174604764

>>174610895
Luft is pure garbage and doesn't have anything to effectively counter 3rd's tanks and HT's, they lose out to the 2ID infantry, and the scots can just roll them with ARVEs
2ID is really competitive due to great assault infantry and 'zookas
>>174610895
No, 2ID is just that good.
>>174610895
The AI is much better at playing allies for some reason.
>>174598369
You actually don't. A Sherman has 4 accuracy, which is actually 3 if you don't have a comand unit around, that 3 accuracy gives you an 8% chance of hitting your first shot, 16% chance of hitting your second, 27% of hitting your third, 41% of hitting your fourth and only your 5th shot will have a 58% chance of hiting the target.

>>174614590
How did that end?
>>174614824
>>174614793
I counter spammed flame troops and panzers while my flank (north of the town) plinked the enemy artillery and reinforcements.
then came the sweet sweet nerbl
>>174614630
all that matters is the red bar, the red bar moves faster if they are behind enemy lines, airborne troops get a bonus so they aren't effected by frontlines
I wonder if they will ever get a bonus that they get to spawn closer to middle, but that would by a bit OP
>>174614926
and that was the end of the allied stack rush
I have one pic left of the front directly after the push, but this sums up result of their attacks
>>174615092
and the final chunk of the front.
In the end I halted my advance as I got paranoid about a potential enemy tank spam/ AT ambush counterattack, and shifted the rest of my effort to holding up the right flank with some of my stugs and the rest of my artillery
By then, the game had ended
>>174615092
Was it coordinated attack of few players or did he just hoarded all those treoops in advance?
I can imagine he had raged hard after that...
>>174615265
nah it was about 2-3 indy players trying to stack rush the town.
They had chinned of the left side of the map to pile in on this side and that's why on the minimap the allys look so fucked
Needless to say, ragequits were had. It was pretty funny at the time as initially the infantry cheese was working just by sheer numbers, but one airstrike and a nerblwerf later and they were pretty much wiped out.
The long range german Arty was also a godsend in temporarily suppressing them and wiping out the enemy mortar spam that followed. It also helped wiping out the enemy AT positions
How do I make Luflande gud?
>>174616672
Seize towns and support your allies with air support.
>>174616672
I've never bothered with AT recon. Should I?
>>174616672
step 1) ftry to find an empty part of the front and secure it with AT and anti air
step 2) once secure, invest in aircraft and support your team
step 3) reign air support down on the enemy while using your AA net to deter any counter fighter spam
step 5) continue to do this until the end of the game.
>>174617129
always AT recon
it's the strength of your deck
spam AT infantry and put them in ambush positions and hope to god you don't get hard pushed
>>174617129
AT recon are very good. Not easy to use, but they can kill anything that gets in range, and at the end of the day, they are still recon. They can singlehandedly stop vehicle rushes on your flanks.
>>174611485
The AI gets a bonus to availability for all units, so it can play Allies like they should be playable.
>>174616672
Abuse offmap arty and aircraft.
Avoid using FsJG offensively, they can no longer compete alone outside of the defensive against 2ID. Use a card of phase B pioneers instead to facecheck enemy infantry.
Always invest in the two 88mm for phase C, prioritize them as AAA and babysit them with a command unit.
Use your duck to hunt CmD Stuarts other early armor, but always try to cover it with at least 1 phaseA Bf109.
Priortize fighting in built up areas that restrict engagements to under 1km, especially with your tanks. Never fight in areas that obligate you to engage at 1.2km. Vet3 Stug and CMD Pz3s are your friends.
R35s and R39s counter HT spam.

The french LTs are good enough to deal with HT rushes and have enough HE value to support against infantry. They start failing when it comes to fighting phaseA tanks.
You have to rely on the Pak36 and the Pak40 to deal with tanks.
I always bring at least one R35 and two Pak36s for my initial rollout.

>>174623404you don't
Trick is either counterbattery or yolo airstrikes
alternatively, avoid cities and towns and try suicide rushing their Arty before they get enough points to roll out armor.
the trick is to destroy a nurfle werger deck as soon as a single nrtle swiffler raises it's hard; once they come in bulk and have their sk long range arty it's game over

Not a real issue, with how effective a single strike can be in deterring an assault. Who the fuck thought Rocket Arty was a good idea to add to the game? Its incredibly hard to balance and becomes the meta every time until its nerfed into uselessness.
nobunagas are not overpowered because 1 tank can kill them!
>>174625379
>1 tank
>or 4 infantry squads + fire support
>or like 8 infantry units without
All of these things can do something the nerbel can't. Hold ground. They're annoying units, but they aren't game breaking in any way. If you're in a close game and you spawn a nerbel you're not going to come off well in a 1v1. You might get away with it if it's efficient in a team game, but if it doesn't do 160 points worth of damage it's dead weight.
>>174619463
It doesn't, actually. Accuracy is capped by veterancy levels, being 58% for unvetted, 72% for one star, 83% for 2 stars and 91% for 3 stars.
Stop fucking talking about game mechanics when you don't understand them.

>>174625520
this is only relevant if you've gotten a huge lead already. If you've gotten a huge lead you know what's also 160 points of value? 160 points of front-line units to continue to tip the scales.
Rocket artillery is only an issue in games where the points on field are so high 160 points is a small amount.

Is Grille any good? That accuracy is abysmal, but that AOE though.

If you want to get the most out of them, you need to micro them a bit, like hiding them behind a treeline and popping them out when the armor you wan to kill is at a good range. Also against any competent player, once your AT fires, you need to relocate it if possible or it will just get hammered by artillery and planes.

normal decks are to have between 0 and 1 cards of infantry in helicopter; 2 in exceptional circumstances. You have 7. For example your spetsnaz cards are utterly unusable - spetsnaz is a unit exclusively meant to be spammed in cities, mi-24d is a unit that can neither be spammed nor help in city fights
I'm pretty sure airborne gets the 30pt bmp tank so get that if you can, you need the best tank that's available to you
having a lot of cheap btr-d transports is the thing that makes soviet airborne semi-playalbe unlike other airbornes, you should use them all. Not every infantry needs to come in an expensive atgm carrier, sometimes you just need vdv to fuel into a forest fight on the cheap.
you'll never need that many helos; at the very least upvet them
ASF must ALWAYS come at the highest offered veterancy level, your hardened PU costs 180pt and will lose as often as it wins against 120pt elite non-airborne mirages
you have no tanks so you need more ways to deal with tanks; take more mig-27 variants; I like mig-27k
>>174636117
if you want to get your 100pt unit oneshotted by concealed tanks or AT guns because risking 20pt units with twice the durability is too unintuitive, be my guest

best tank of the war
>Interview from Soviet Sherman Tanker
>If a T-34 started burning, we tried to get as far away from it as possible, even though this was forbidden. The on-board ammunition exploded. For a brief period of time, perhaps six weeks, I fought on a T-34 around Smolensk. The commander of one of our companies was hit in his tank. The crew jumped out of the tank but were unable to run away from it because the Germans were pinning them down with machine gun fire. They lay there in the wheat field as the tank burned and blew up. By evening, when the battle had waned, we went to them. I found the company commander lying on the ground with a large piece of armor sticking out of his head. When a Sherman burned, the main gun ammunition did not explode.
>Such a case occurred once in Ukraine. Our tank was hit. We jumped out of it but the Germans were dropping mortar rounds around us. We lay under the tank as it burned. We laid there a long time with nowhere to go. The Germans were covering the empty field around the tank with machine gun and mortar fires. We lay there. The uniform on my back was beginning heating up from the burning tank. We thought we were finished! We would hear a big bang and it would all be over! A brother's grave! We heard many loud thumps coming from the turret. This was the armor-piercing rounds being blown out of their cases. Next the fire would reach the high explosive rounds and all hell would break loose! But nothing happened. Why not? Because our high explosive rounds detonated and the American rounds did not? In the end it was because the American ammunition had more refined explosives. Ours was some kind of component that increased the force of the explosion one and one-half times, at the same time increasing the risk of detonation of the ammunition.

So I've been toying with that, and I also toyed with 3 cards of 76mm Shermans to handle AT duty.
Right now, I never seem to use more than two Jumbos in a match either because one survives or because points are prohibitive. A similar issue comes up with the 76s.
Maybe one card of a 76 in Phase B to aid in AT? But even then I rarely run into anything too strong.

Here's some more on transport helos: https://honhonhonhon.wordpress.com/2016/08/20/helo-transports/
basically you only want them because the helo itself is a strong combat unit [of which you'll only 5*6 per game, so one card is plenty], or because you need infantry that you can deploy in quick reaction [of which, again, one card is plenty].
>>174637727
One CMD M5 herds my M5s with back ups to reinforce in phase A, the other babysits my infantry and halftracks as a mobile QRF against.
And sometimes I do burn through tanks very quickly- especially if I end up in a bad sector with a lot of open lines of fire.
>>174637683
>fact that the US ammunition racks were least likely to cook off due to the safe propellant used instead of the more volatile propellant used by the Germans and Soviets
>wack anecdote
If you look at the Sherman from the widest perspective instead of focusing purely on armor and gun penetration the Sherman is the best tank of the war.
From Armored Thunderbolt:
>A U.S. First Army study found that among the crew, the loader was the leastlikely to be killed (21.4 percent) while the bow gunner and turret gunner were the most likely (27 percent). Of tank crew casualties, about a quarter were killed and three-quarters wounded.
It also average as one killed and one wounded per Sherman knocked out.
>can now make a full support deck with my norbelwafers
>>174638045
>if you just disregard armor and gun penetration the 2 single most important aspects of a tank then the sherman is pretty good
>>174636656
So what's this game like exactly?
>>174638279

Tanks, even if mobility killed, protect their crews enough that many escape to fight again. Of course tanks can often be returned to service if recovered.

The actual Army totals, from the Adjutant Generals Final Report are:
Total Battle Casualties - 936,259
Total Deaths - 234,874
Total KIA - 198,856 (includes KIA while captured and MIA declared dead)
DOW - 26,762
Died of other causes - 9,256 (while captured or missing)
Captured, returned to military control - 111,426
WIA, not died - 589,959
Of those Armored Force losses were:
Total Battle Casualties - 6827
Total Deaths - 1,581
Total KIA - 1,407
DOW - 167
Other deaths - 7
Captured, returned to military control - 414
WIA, not died - 4,832
Sherman was light, reliable, easy to produce, fit where larger vehicles could not go, and provided effective infantry support.
BTW if you look at most WWII tank welding it looks like ass compared to modern work. Primitive electrodes and inexperienced welders are the reasons why. Even US welds aren't the greatest.

The M8 fired three 37 mm rounds through the relatively thin rear armor of the Tiger from only 25 yd. (23 m), setting it on fire.

TD squadrons are the property of the corps, not the division. They may have been attached to said division during the given campaign, but they were NOT part of the division's actual asset pool.
It's a shitty reason to omit M10s from the 3AD, but Madmat the french fuck is NOT lying to you regarding TDs not being a part of 3AD's TO&E.

Took me literally a minute to find a photograph of an M10 belonging to the 3rd US Armoured Division in Summer 1944.
What the fuck Eugen.
Man fuck allies they are OP as fuck
>>174649576
On paper they were kept in reserve on the army level.
In practise they had TD Companies as parts for the Orbat in a Division

I'm angry he can say that with a straight face

>Implying the naboowarpdrive didn't level entire towns in real life
All the Russians did was put it ontop of a T72.

I don't even care about the narglewarfle at this point
>>174649576
Well then why does the 15th Scots have tanks? The armour they used was a corps/army asset just like the americans and their TDs.
The argument doesn't hold water. He should just fucking admit that he's a biased frog fuck and leave it at that.
Is the Jumbo really out of time frame for the game or is this wehraboo grasping at straws to give the game """balance"""
>>174650536
The latter.
>>174650525
P-Please don't take the 6th Guards away from me.
>>174650536
Its out of time frame, the fucking frog faggots saw the 3rd armored had no redeeming features after denying them the TDs so they had to add the Jumbo to make up for it. I'm fine with losing the Jumbo in favor of some actual AT support
>>174650818
I would be too. I'd be fine with losing the Jumbo if we got Wolverines
I'd be even happier if we got a different division with Hellcats
>>174651005
I agree, remove all allied tanks with over 12 armor they are unrealtic
>>174650818
I'd happily lose the Jumbo if we got cheaper and more numerous 75W Shermans and TD
>>174651352
You don't even need the fucking jumbo though, especially not if we get any better AT options.
There should be more disparity between tank speeds honestly, then the US can abuse it's nippy TDs
