Re: ZOMG! - Nazis!!
I made a quick encyclopedia search to see if Germans have a fighting chance. Since I havent installed WinSPWW2 yet, I've used the Italian Pantera and the French Jagdpanther as reference, so you can correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway the best chance of penetration by Panther is 23cm of armor at point blank range with APCR. For the 88 best penetration is achieved again by the APCR round and its 28cm. So keeping that in mind:
-T55A is vulnerable at all sides if at point blank range from both 75mm and 88mm (depends on the angle though, since the best armor has the exact same value as max penetration).
-Centurion Mk 5/1 is vulnerable if a turret hit, but frontal hull can only be penetrated by the 88.
-Same thing with T62, only here the frontal hull is also highly resistant to the 88 as well.
-M60A1 is invulnerable to the 75mm, not from 88mm though.
-AMX30 and Leo 1A1 are vulnerable from both guns.
-M1 is invulnerable from Panther guns if hit in the turret either from frontal or flanking shots. So best bet is hull hits (or lucky side shots in the turret).
-T64A is invulnerable from both guns (maybe the 88 could achieve a penetration if extremely lucky), but much more fragile at the flanks and rear.
-Chieftain is invulnerable from the front, and very resistant at the side turret.
So that's the chances Jerries have (obviously more modern tanks are even better). IMHO, the biggest problem they have is the inaccuracy of their guns than penetrating power. I think it would be much more interesting if player actually had Germans and the AI the modern force instead of vice versa.
