    Here is a fun little fact about the PZ-4 variants. The F2 and G have a worse gun then the H and J. F2 and G both have the L/43 barrel while the H and J have the L/48.
    What this means in game is that on the PzGr 39 your round is 30m/s faster so it is slightly easier to aim and you get 8mm more pen. That 8mm doesn't seem like a lot, but in my experience it is the difference between killing that T-34 or Sherman front on and bouncing.

      just did the math, the IS-2 had at least 28 seconds to reload and was completely undamaged; the IS-2 has a 27 second reload at the worst. So, the IS MUST have been reloaded by the time spookston shot him.

      ⁠​⁠@cbev1249I watched the footage closely and saw debris and smoke on the right side of Spook’s binos at 14:17/18. There was also a puff of smoke coming out the IS-2’s barrel after Spookston exits binos, meaning the tank fired at 14:17 and missed. If we assume the IS-2 had a stock reload of 27 seconds, that means he would be done reloading at 14:44, the moment after Spookston fires.

    that 3v1 at the end should be studied to find out just how many strokes, heart attacks, organ failures, and other stoppages of major bodily functions that m36 and IS-2 had to have to lose that. Like the T34 could've mg your track, the IS-2 could've done literally anything other than just give you a free side shot, the m36 should've known you were there since he just watched you shoot the T34's track, and then when he does shoot you, he somehow only got your turret ring and then just sat there instead of running away to cover. The fall of the Roman Empire cannot compare to the absolute nincompoops that just fumbled that.
    Edit: just did the math, that engagement went on for 28 seconds before you shot the IS-2. The IS-2's reload is 27 seconds, meaning he MUST have been reloaded since he also had full crew.

    • @flipallthetables793

      You also have to realize that stuff like US stabilizers were way weaker (they worked up to 14 km/h if I'm not mistaken, now it's 24 km/h).
      Additionally, the US 76 mm was weaker than the German 75 mm when it came to penetration with the APHE round. That's no longer the case.
      There are likely other changes that aren't coming to me since its been that long.

Some other guy who logged in just got the good MM and now they are matching you to them.
