Well pretty much I need to have some detailed info on HE rounds and AP rounds and whether or not I should pick one of these over OBM

(I currently am running a pershing, and 4 shermans, soon to be 2 shermans and 2 pershings)

Thanks in advance

HE rounds adds an insane +50% accuracy and damage, but 70% less penetration.
In other words, if you combine this with scoot and shoot and experienced loaders, you will have infantry and light vehicle raping machines.Try to avoid heavier tanks during its duration. But Good night to vet 3 squads.

AP rounds are of course great if you run M10/M18 spam, upgunned shermans not so much.

OBM is always great to have, but I wouldnt take it over HE rounds.

I'd pick the HE for the pershing and watch grenadier squads blow up, pair it with a comrade's british cct and its going to be amazing AI that only doctrinal panthers, jagd's and dedicated AT can handle pwning all medium tanks with regular fire.

I dont think EL affects pershings sadly. What other doctrinal abiltiies do you have, sharp?

[Sharpshooter824]

Uh, Shoot and Scoot, Tungsten Tipping, Mobile Warfare for the T2s, flank speed thing and light vehicle capping for my T1s (Not got all of em yet) And I only have one T3 so far which is the pershing, I got 2 pershings and 2 shermans now..

Also, I plan to either get Field Repairs or tank command, cant decide which

Seems like I usually have problems with tanks the most when it comes to using the pershing, not sure if HE rounds is really necessary and if AP would actually be of any use, tbh I think OBM would be the most useful but what are your guy's thoughts?

I use OBM + FR with my 2 pershings, works pretty well IMO.  Would work better if I had better micro, but, ya.

Anybody know if a AP rounds Pershing with field repairs can beat a tiger with HEAT rounds?

AP ROUNDS IS BAD FOR PERSHINGS

I posted the data table.
Summary:
HVAP +pen vs all heavy tanks
HVAP =pen vs all other vehicles
HVAP reduced splash mean 1 inf at a time to be killed.

HVAP NO positives except Pen. vs heavy tanks

A pershing with HVAP always beats a regular tiger.
Dunno about a HEAT one.

Yea, you gotta love how when allied tanks get upgrades to take on axis tanks, they always suffer some type of penalty :p

[puddin]

you got to love how allied tanks have an entire fuckign doctrine to make them super beats of hell. 

Tym... Don;t start that Bull. 

I love my allied armor, BUt you can very easily make a doctrine choice to effect every single unit on the field at every teir level and sometimes multiple times over for armor company...   There are very very very few crappy teirs, and most of them effect without the need for added purcheses, unlike Assult T2 Blitz. 

Axis armor still dos not have many upgrades or that powerfull of upgrades in comparision. 

PLus, Rather then heat rounds, i;d much rather take on explosive rounds with german tanks with the penetration debuff... Oh yea, Would be 100% better, oh and at the end wait?  You get penetraion back? 

Wait.. So you mean after you have killed off all the infantry, a tank comes up and suddenly it wears off and now you cna fight the tank agaion... Man... What a shit ability...
