SU-152 v Tigs/ Panths advice asked

[Saint Ruth]

1943 is for the Russians like 1941 is for the Germans.

In 1941, the Russians can buy indestructible tanks, and in 1943, the Germans can...the worst isn't the Tiger and Panther, the worst is the Stug III/F...it's cheaper and indestructible from the front by regular Russian armour until the SU-152 (though Valentine IX tanks with 57mm guns can take them out but they are sooooo sloooow).

In general, SU-152s get off 2 shots per 60 seconds versus 6 per Tiger/Panther so one-to-one, they'll lose. So you need 3 SU-152s against one Tiger/Panther to win.

Panthers are quite easy to take out from the flank though, but in Farmland that's not an option.

If he choose those parameters as Germans then he gave you an unbalanced game. And BOOO to him. If you choose them, well, live and learn... ;)
Chalenge him to a rematch in july 41 and buy KVs and T-34s... ;)
