I think an 'easy' solution would be to lower the close defense of super tanks. I think this is historically correct as the King Tiger, Maus, JagdTiger were all extremely slow, less maneuverable and had usually had less MGs thus should be more vulnerable to infantry assault. This means a core heavy o...

Soviet '43 Infantry
This seems odd to me that all the other major sides (Germans, Brits, and Americans) got an upgraded '43 version of their infantry but the Russians did not. This seems rather odd to me as there were significant changes in the Russian TO&E between the start of the war and the end of the war, techn...

I hope PzC has a 'promotion' system. If your unit has a chance to gain a leader, you are present with a choice. Let's say Tiger I got a leader. You receive a pop up window or some sort of interface that says: Individual members of this unit have performed excellently, you now have the option to pro...

Bigger does not mean better, the Russian 122 had better penetration than the 152, the 57mm ZiS-2 had better penetration than the 76mm ZiS-3, the 75mm KwK 42 L/70 on a Panther had better penetration than the 88mm KwK 36 L/56 on the Tiger and the 88mm on JagdPanther was better than the 128mm on the Ja...

I would say that Pioneers were never Better than regular infantry they just had different roles and I would like this reflected more so in PzC namely Pioneers had tons of explosives and fun toys (like Flamethrowers) however they had less MGs and less imbedded support weapons (like mortars, infantry ...

I feel there is more to an attack value than just numbers. First of all I'd like to mention that APCR rounds for German tanks were Very rare, the Germans went through their Tungsten reserves during the war. While APCR rounds were much more common in the US army and the Tank Destroyer units got first...

I don't think overrun is applicable in PzC because of the variable unit size. If the units were always only company size then it's possible to completely rout them, however when you are talking about Regiments and Divisions it is impossible to break them completely there will always be a reminder of...

It's all a matter of how you spell Joseph. That aside the Jagdtiger was 71.7 metric tons. Stop to think about that for a moment. Now compare to the ISU-152 which was 47.3 metric tons. You can also compare the engines and horsepower per tonne (tons of references for these numbers). Long story short t...

Speaking of multi-purpose weapons would it be possible to transform the Russian Artillery into direct fire mode? Historically this was Very common with many of the Russian gun being designed for it in the first place, such as the A-19 122mm (this gun was adapted to become the main cannon on the IS-2...

Good point, but considering how powerful mass attack is (changing 7-7 battle into a 2-7, try it with P47s and Fw190s you'll see) I still believe 'some' visualization is warranted. I agree some indication would be helpful and make it easier for new players to understand, it seems a lot of players in...

I think the idea is when a unit has more enemies next to it in assault positions they have to spread their own defenses thinner to cover possible angles of attack. Honestly I did not know about this feature but I do like it (makes sense to me), however knowing about this I think the AI does not use ...

There are 4 versions of T-34 in PzC :shock: . Why do you say there is only one? Or maybe I don't understand something... I recall T-34 received around 16 thousands of different improvements and fixes during war. T-34/85 was the tank that was finally somewhat reliable. But this was only a part of pr...

I may be up for all III and IV set to 5, but I am not really sure about Jagtiger's 4. And we need to reduce speed of early T-34. They were of really bad quality and with many problems. I think 4 is plenty for the Jagdtiger, they were quite slower than PzIII and PzIVs also they had suspension issues...

In PG2, some e-file mods included infantry with a T-34 as its transport to model infantry riding shotgun on tanks. However, I disagree that infantry on tanks should give a better close defence value. A few MG sprays and most of the infantry riding the tanks would be dead or wounded. It was a conven...

Russian Infantry
I am rather curious about some the stats for the Russian infantry. Firstly I have to ask why there is no Russian '43 infantry (or maybe '44), the Russian rifle divisions went through very big changes in their TO&E between the start of the war and the end of it. They received far more fire power ...
