WW2 Artillery vs. Armor

[Huib Versloot]

I don't even know the reasoning behind the original stock arty values. I do know that in real life it was very difficult to lay down succesful arty on armor concentrations and yes sometimes a massive arty concentration would break up an armored attack. In the game it is very easy to do so.
I'm very much in favor of Volcano Man's values since he has backed them up with research while the stock ratings have mysterious reasoning behind it. If we knew on "what" the stock values were based, it may be easier to compare them.

I also don't agree with your statement that tanks are overpresented in PzC, on the contrary I think they should be more powerful against infantry; forcing the players to make good use of his AT guns..... this is where Volcano Man's more realistic AT gun ratings come into view....punishing those tanks etc.

I don't think one can look at any of the changes Volcano Man made separately, but one has to view the big picture (which I think you haven't done) and compare these results with historical facts.
My conclusion is that VM managed to optimise the PzC system and thus ensuring that it is still interesting to historical purists such as me.
