ok so digging through the RGDs ive found that

British 17pdr does 150 dmg

Wher Pak 40 75mm does 187 dmg

American M5 76mm does 187.5 dmg

all the while the M1 57mm/6pdr does 150 dmg.


Please explain this ? the 17pdr only doing 6pdr dmg ? yet all other heavy atgs do 30+ more dmg

Have you checked the penetration, you know, that other really important factor for ATG's... That aside.

17pdr, Can Buy APCR rounds Tier 1 Unlock
The Pak 40, Tier 3 unlock
The M5, Reward unit.

yeh but apcr on 17pdr is kinda wasted only good on the off chance you face a tiger 2 or heavier.

Also idea for heavy atgs

+5 range to make up for piss poor arc and range

You really didn't check the penetration tables did you?

The 17pdr has a 116% chance to penetrate a TIGER at long range without even using apcr rounds... what more could you want?
The 76mm M5 has a 55% chance if you need a point of reference.

You're right, clearly the 17pdr is out of line as compared to the other heavy ATG's... Thus, we should bring it's damage up and reduce the penetration to be more in line with the other heavy ATG's, for consistency if anything else.

Nah im fine with the damage man, just give it more range to effectively dish it out.
same goes for M5 76mm and Pak 40 75mm.
 even just 5m extra range would make all the difference

You know, ever heard of backdraws? That if you specialize in one thing other skills may suffer?

I feel like if Smokaz and Shab met up it would be a 50/50 tossup to see which one of them robbed the other first.

reward units are immune to balance.

Sharks are not monsters Henley, they are cute, cuddly and misunderstood. They love humans. sometimes they love TOO much. They love people so much that sometimes their kisses separate people into two flailing pieces which are consumed by other sharks in a frenzy of peace and joy.

You're right.

Niko, put the 75mm Sherman gun back on the Chaffee.

I mean I know Obama was the first one in EiR to get a card. and tbfh the Race card is pretty OP. but Romney has the K.K.K., those guys seem to camo anywhere. So OP units from both sides.

Not enough to have it take on anything it couldn't take on before.

It makes pairs of Upgunned Shermans pretty nasty, but running a pair of Shermans only ever happens if you're running a Sherman spam company.

Which is rare.

HVAP ONLY works on upgun for Shermans.

It does not work for base 75mm Shermans.

It could be made to work for them, but the improvement would be so minor that you'd never notice it in combat.
