Surviving IS-2s ???

[Crossroads]

What's the best way to utilize my IS-2s in this scenario? :cheeky:

I'd like some intel myself! :smoke:

LOL Mike, I hope you don't mind!

My advice: try something completely different! As you can see from my original post, your tactics are not working at all! :smoke:

You have to engage at long range with your armor and pray for retreats so you can get shots at their rear. I actually like that scenario alot.

This is essentially exploiting a bug in the game. It is one of the reasons I play without armor facing. Without armor facing one can stick to historical tactics, which in this case is still long range engaging as German player but without being dependent on tanks turning foolishly before they can be destroyed.

That is a good point. I have been thinking about the AF and whether I like it or not...

Question: When AF is not used, how is the defence value calculated?

Is it the mean average of all values, or is there special weight used for e.g. the frontal armour?

Accordingly, it would be a tad easier to get a result against a tank that is "facing" you? (While obviously the retreating platoon would not be almost guaranteed to be wiped out, of course...)
