Nanaki, on 18 August 2010 - 06:37 PM, said: Sorry Vic, I disagree with you on this. There is no possible way a VK3601 is anywhere close to an even match, the VK cannot even penetrate the KV-3 from the front, and the KV-3 can two or three-shot the VK3601 while the VK needs to unload anywhere from a half-dozen to a dozen rounds on the KV-3 to kill it. The only way a VK3601 can win is if it gets a lucky HE shot, and HE is getting nerfed in the patch so that does not even matter.

MrVic: My experiences with it 3601's I faced a lot were really good about dealing with it. a good bit of it comes down to working out the geometry and hitting it in good spots or out maneuvering it. With its heavier armor HE is less effective. Also the Vk3601 performs like a medium tank. Head to head KV-3 should win, its a slow moving turtle

3601 works the angles flanks tracks or kites it rather easily. Heck I can circle kite a KV-3 with a Jagpanther did it last night, I felt bad for the guy. I run almost all AP rounds until I run into a Tier 9-10 and I am facing a shot that has low chance to penetrate.
Now a jagdpanzer can sit with the base 88 and just ruin a KV-3 head on the majority of the time. Even with its speed its hard for the KV-3 to advance on it for fear of it getting behind or to the side of it.
Now we have to take into consideration the patch will bring some fixed damage models and modules HE ect ect ect
One thing I will say the IS-7 vs a 3601 with 260mm pen on a flat face I still bounce 36% of my shots, which is insane its a bug I know it has to be but its amazing to see it happen. I have been keeping a count

But peoples experiences I bet vary a ton.

Sakuzhi, on 18 August 2010 - 08:17 PM, said: *sigh* ...you know. Yall should do some research.
Let's Start with KV-3 against Vk3601H
The KV-3 goes 8kmph slower than the Vk3601(H), however the only time the Vk3601(H) is in a close-range fight, given -any- sort of distance KV-3 Wins. Period, the Kv-3 isn't much slower than the Vk3601 is for that matter, and given how....random the 88mm/56 is, the KV-3 has a more reliable gun. Hands to the KV-3, It's faster than -all- German Heavies, that's right.
Now then, let's disprove this "notion" that the IS-4 is slow, and that the Vk4501 Ausf B is better, in fact. I will even disprove the idea that the German Heavy line has any real armor advantage.
First, Stat wise. max speeds
IS: 35
IS-3: 36
IS-4: 35
IS-7: 50
Tiger: 30
King Tiger: 28
VK4502 Ausf: 30? (would like to double check this)
Maus: 20

MrVic: Top speed and acceleration are very different beasts and most RU tanks have a higher top end speed with a much lower acceleration. Its hard sometimes to get them up to the higher speeds since it takes such a long distance to reach it
One thing they need to adjust is the IS-7's description, it does not do 50kph on flat ground. Down a hill for a very short period it can hit that speed. once it levels out a tiny bit you lose that speed totally. I rarely break 40kph on hills. Rough ground it does 18-20 kph good ground 25-33 roads 30-40 (but takes about half the map to get up to that speed)
The 3601 vs KV-3 the 3601 is considerably faster and with more acceleration. Well played it can decimate a KV-3

The IS-3 is a hair faster then then tiger 1 fully upgraded. The tigers track traverse is much faster, The tiger II is faster track traverse and turret with better acceleration, overall IS-3 is a faster tank then tiger 2 in the long haul.
IS-4 can hit maybe 35 but takes a good ground run for about half to 3/4 map distance usually it crawls around I think 25kph, it track traverse speed is much lower then a 4502
Just some info from my experiences

KV-3 or KV-1S

In-Game Vehicles\Vehicle Comparison\KV-3 or KV-1S
Link on message: #75367

ARGO: I for one love my KV3, This tank can dish it out and take it too. That tank and it's 107mm gun removes even the toughest Tigers! It is like driving a whole new vehicle and best of all and unlike other tanks, it doesn't suck when you first get it. I am happy enough with it, For cheaper ammo cost reasons I don't even know if I even need to go higher up the tree for a better tank and pay buku bucks for ammo.
As far as heavy tanks and mediums I have successfully killed an T-44, IS, IS3, Tiger, many VKs. If your good in a close combat situation or your a long distance deadeye, this tanks for you.

lan_ex, on 18 August 2010 - 06:31 PM, said: Seeing that not many have already figured it out, I'm recollecting (and maybe starting a FAQ) information about the consequences behind damaged modules (subsystems and crew members)
Damaged tracks = Poorer performance on bad terrains (e.g. swamps) and *maybe* a few kms/h slower.
seems right tends to slow you down a tiny bit and turn rate
Damaged fuel tank = More likely to catch on fire. Does not affect speed (tested on a Leopard more than 2 minutes)
I have seen it effect speed some
Damaged Engine = Slower, way much more slower...
Damaged turret = Slower traverse speed.
Damaged gun = Accuracy off
Damaged periscope = Shorter view range
Damaged radio = Short radio signal
Damaged ammo rank = Lower reload rate (this one is really nasty)
Knocked-out Commander = shorter view range.
Knocked-out Loader = slower reload rate
Knocked-out gunner = Less accurated shots
also seems to slow turret traverse and slower aim focus time
Knocked-out Driver = Poor maneuverability
Less acceration/speed
Knocked-out radio operator = No radio communication
Reduced radio, since other crew take over but are bad at it/color]
This is only a rough draft. I will polish it as soon as I start receiving your feedback.
Regards :Smile_honoring:

Nanaki, on 18 August 2010 - 04:21 PM, said: You need to compare it by tier. Germans do not have heavies available at Tier 5-6 so you have to compare the Panzer IV to the KV and the VK3601 to the KV-3.

MrVic: I find the panzer IV better then the KV and the 3601 a fair match to a KV-3 if not a tiny bit better. Right now the 3601 seems like its better then it should be for its tier I think.
Overall to the OP topic, the higher tier ones are pretty balanced so far that I have seen. a IS-4 with the 130mm and used right is better then a 4502 but without the 130mm the 4502 is better. But the 4502 with the 12.8 is easily equal to a IS-4. Its all the manner in use them and if you play their strengths I think. The IS-7 vs Maus is pretty level. Right now in random matches tho the Maus suffers from a lack of support due to random players with it. Its durability easily offsets the IS-7 speed but weaker armor and soft spots. It seems its all about who is driving the tank and what kinda of support they have.
Much of this comes down to the skill of the players on both sides of the fight and how they deal with them.

Cragger, on 18 August 2010 - 03:50 PM, said: I don't think you realize how vindictive some people are. I've sat out a day suspension for TKing a friendly that drove between me and an enemy while I was zoomed in and fired and apologized. If you want to fix this implement the RoE system like America's Army has. Every friendly damage is a Rules of Engagement violation and when you get enough negative points your thrown out of the match with no rewards. Gives enough leeway for accidents that do happen and stops those that persist at damaging others.
This current no tolerance policy of showing a simple screenshot of the scoreboard is going to lose you people not gain them from this developing community.

MrVic: a simple way to cover this which I do myself. If its a accident and I apologize and screen shot it in case down the road it becomes a issue.
Also there is a new system coming which should help prevent these things from happening. This will all be taken care of. As accidents do happen.
I myself killed a SPG I was defending last night. I tried to fire a close range shot to get the light off of him and he moved at the last second and got between me and the light at very short range. I apologized and he was cool he saw what happened. Such things will happen
