      While Brummbaer is definitely a powerful vehicle it has ridiculously few hitpoints. It can be wiped out with single bazooka salvo of an AT squad(2 hits). Even cheapest Sherman can’t be killed that way.  I think it should have hp pool at least comparable to ordinary M4A3 Sherman tank. Moreover Stupa is way more expensive than Sherman 105 and at similar cost to the Pershing tank. Unlike the Sherman 105 it is not able of indirect firing, Sturmpanzers strenght is its brute force and good armour so its endurance is even more imporant.

      Hi Morgoth: we determinate the hitpoins of a vehicle using a proportion based in real mass. In a future we plan to do some extra history research to adjust this work more taking in consideration vulnerabilites of the vehicles.

      But take in consideration a few things of Brummbar right now:

      a. Can destroy squads with one shot

      b. Has an excellent penetration value with normal HE rounds

      c. Has HEAT rounds

      d. Has an excellent armor and is very difficult to destroy by bazookas frontally.

      Sure, i don’t deny that at all. Brummbaer can be very useful and dangerous vehicle indeed. It is just ratio between cost and suvivability that is not particulary good. It is well protected at the front, but it is still a turretless vehicle which makes it  vulnerable to flanking infantry attacks. For a vehicle of that cost it could be just a little bit more able to absorb some hit (one more bazooka hit required to kill the brummbaer, just like a sherman tank), becouse now it is often profitable to make a semi suicidal bazooka charge.

      Ok, I increased hitpoints of Brummbar from 970 to 1010. I added +40. This ways bazooka will need always x3 shots to destroy it.

        We also could have adjusted the price to better reflect the existing stats… but oh well.  Will see how it goes in testing.

      Ollhausen changed the stats? Unheard of! :O

      Jokes aside, nice change I like it 😀
