german heavy tank armor

[lolwhat1]

I just got back into blitzkrieg and played a lot before 4.8.8, now before 4.8.8 a king tiger or a tiger in general, could never be destroyed in one shot by anything when its at full health. but now a king tiger can be destroyed in one shot in the front by a sherman easy 8? im not an expert on the easy 8s penetration but im pretty confident in the idea that a king tigers armor can stand up to it and not get destroyed in one shot. for a historically, or close to it, accurate mod, thats pretty freaking inaccurate.

The "one shot" exist since the beginning of BK. The old evs introduced it already. Just certain criterias have to be complied. The tank need to be penetrated, high damage dealed (weapons have a max and min damage) and then red crit damage activated and one of these crits is the oneshot.

The 76 sherman has at close range a 15% chance to oen KT using basic rounds, 8,1% at max range. With HVAP and vet 3 commander its 16%. So with all buffs at max range e8 has 16% pen chance and then it must deal high damage, trigger red crit damage and then red crit "oneshot". So its like winning the jackpot in a lottery when this happens.


This has always been like that.


Thing with 76 gun which devs know is that it underperforms against axis medium tanks (Tank IV/stugs) but overperforming against axis super heavies (KT, Elephant, JT).
Thats why i suggested already to reduce 76 gun efficency vs super heavies by increasing against axis mediums.
