New model: 210mm Nebelwerfer image - Blitzkrieg Mod for Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts

YOU ORGAISM AT EVERYTHING!

Yep stuka I had opened a topic about that in the BK forum since it is very annoying and I was told it was to be addressed in the upcoming patch, so no worries :)

yes

shermans ?

Yes, he ment Shermans.

But guys dont forget that the 75mmSherman is the equivalent of PzIV ausf.E.
They are inf Support tanks, thats like a Heavy Armored Car.

The 76mmSherman is trouble for Tigers and even Panthers!

well yes but sherman wasnt a badf tank like everybody says it was good the reason why it performed poor agasnt panzer at long range was the fact that it was a universal tank and wasnt fitted with a longer gun cause the designers and the army thought it ddint need one and the us 76 mm shermans weerent a real problem for panthers and tigers (yes they were better but still) cause the gun wasnt strong enough, while the british sherman firefly with the much more powerful 17 pounder gun that nearly as good as the panthers gun (corrrect me if i am mistaken)did cause real problems to german panzers. the british 76 mm 17 pounder was MUCH better than the us 76 mm guns but this isnt shown in blitzkrieg i guess for balancii ng porpouses ;)

In real life just like in BK, the 17pdr is better than the Panther's HV 75mm and the US M5 76mm.

And the Sherman was not a Universal Tank or Main Battle Tank as we call it today. It was an infantry support tank. The Armored Doctrine for the US Army was that there were 75mmShermans Supporting Inf to Advance and Capture territory while the Tank-Destroyer Divisions (made of M10, M18 and M36) would flank and destroy the Enemy Armor.

Or look at it this way:
In 1942 (when the Sherman first saw action in North Africa) the Sherman had great mobility, armor, and gun to fight PzIII and PzIV ausf.E.
By 1944 the US Army still though the Germans had many PzIVs and very limited and scattered Tigers and Panthers. When they saw how many actual Tigers and Panthers they had the TD Division was made to deal with the big cats, instead of upgunning the current Shermans (like the Brits did, to some extend). When that failed, they rushed some M26 Pershings to the front, but the war was already over and many poor 75mmSherman Tank Crews had already died to the German Big Cats (when it could have been avoided if more Fireflyes, 76mmShermans and Pershings would have been provided sooner).

yea shermans initial role may have been to support infantry but it became a universal tank and the panthers gun was better than the british 17 pounder not vice versa

Why do you have to make me do it, why :D ?
Here are the stats for:

76mm Q.F. 17Pounder Mk.II L/55

Ammo Type: Armor Piercing (these are the normal AP rounds)
Ammo Name: AP Shot Mk.III
Ammo Weight (kg): 7.68
Muzzle Velocity (m/s): 884
100m: 161/132
500m: 138/113
1000m: 115/94
1500m: 95/77
2000m: 79/64

Ammo Type: Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot (these are the very good AP rounds)
Ammo Name: APDS Shot Mk.I
Ammo Weight (kg): 3.71
Muzzle Velocity (m/s): 1284
100m: 221
500m: 204
1000m: 185
1500m: 167
2000m: 151

75mm Kw.K.42 L/70 (notice the Panther has 15 more Caliber lenghts but its still worse than the 17pdr)

Ammo Type: Armor Piercing Capped Ballistic Cap (Normal AP rounds)
Ammo Name: PzGr.39/42
Ammo Weight (kg): 6.9
Muzzle Velocity (m/s): 935
100m: 138
500m: 124
1000m: 111
1500m: 99
2000m: 89

Ammo Type: Armor Piercing Composite Rigid
Ammo Name: PzGr.40/42
Ammo Weight (kg): 4.75
Muzzle Velocity (m/s): 1120
100m: 194
500m: 174
1000m: 149
1500m: 127
2000m: 106
(All data is displayed in milimeters (mm) vs. RHA / FHA plate @ 30°)

So take a look at that! For the same approximate Ammo Weight and Muzzle Velocity the 17pdr out performs the 75mm! I rest my case, and besides the Allies had better AP rounds even tho the Germans had better Guns.

Here is the ranking for the Guns of WW2:
1) 88mm Kw.K.43 L/71 (Used on the KingTiger, JadgPanther, Nashron, Elephant)
2) 76mm Q.F. 17Pounder Mk.II L/55 (Used on the Achilles, Firefly, Comet)
3) 90mm M3 L/52 (Used on the M26 Pershing and M36 Jackson)
4) 75mm Kw.K.42 L/70 (Used on the Panther and Jadgpanzer IV/70)

*Notice* The 128mm PaK 44 L/55 Used on the JadgTiger would have been in 2nd place but it is not a Tank and one 128mm round would weight 4 times more than a normal one, it just didn't seem fair to add it.

Reference: Tarrif.net

the panthers gun with normal Ap round still perform better at long range :P
so i reject your reality and substitue my own :P

Remember that most of German armor used FHA plates, so the only stats counting are those on the right column. In this case the 17 pdr had worse stats than the KwK 42 L/70 because allied armor was RHA plate. The APDS rounds were troubling for FHA plates, but German didn't care because they needed mor tanks to fight the Russians, and they used mainly AP and APC rounds in the Eastern front so they had to sacrifice their armor effectiveness against the British (the 17 pdr APDS rounds were rare)in favour of a greater effectiveness versus Russian shells.

What a stupid question >.>

Take a look at this
Blitzkrieg-mod.de

Its's not actually possible to give the axis more firpower. The game just couldn't handle it. Thats allies cant have the land matress.
