50x T-34/76A with 50 motorized support
vs.
50x Type 95 light tanks with 100 mortorized support (mistake in battle, I meant to put 50).
Both had 75 exp, 99 morale, 0 disruption, 0 fatigue, and 500 supplies (plenty).
The leaders were the default leaders, so there was some variation (not much tho), and I plunked them in the wrong hex (I intended clear, but got the wrong one, and it was wooded).
From the DB, the T-34/76A is a far superior tank.
Type 95
Range : 1
Accuracy : 7
Effect : 4
Amor : 30
Anti-Armor : 50
Penetration : 50
* I don't think that range, accuracy, or effect have anything to do with ground combat by the way.
T-34/76A
Range : 1
Accuracy : 8
Effect : 12
Amor : 85
Anti-Armor : 100
Penetration : 100
* I don't think that range, accuracy, or effect have anything to do with ground combat by the way.
I believe that it basically pits the anti-armor and/or penetration vs. the armor rating, just like it does with bombs vs. ships or cannons vs. planes.
Anyway, the odds were surprising. I set them both to deliberate attack.
Japan attacked first. Base 51. Adjusted 41.
Russia defended Base 48. Adjusted 29.
Japan got 1 to 1 odds.
Then Russia attacked. And got 0 to 1 odds. I couldn't write fast enough for the base and adjusted for the second attack. But I remember that Japan's defense was adjusted up considerably, which is why Russia got 0-1.

Defending force 2320 troops, 0 guns, 136 vehicles
Allied assault odds: 0 to 1

Interestingly enough, the actual distruction of tanks was as follows :
Japan lost
8 Type 95 tanks disabled.
16 Type 95 tanks destroyed.
Russia lost
2 T-34s disabled
2 T-34s destroyed
The japanese unit had very little disruption/morale/fatigue loss however. And Russia had has something like 90 disruption (probably from the 0-1 attack).
Just posting the results. I"m glad to see that the Russian tanks seem to have soundly beat the much smaller Japanese. But you'd have never know from the odds portayed (and why is Russia so disrupted).
I'm tempted to set up a 76mm anti-tank gun battery in the woods, to see how they fair vs. IJA tanks. AT battery should do quite well. But we'll see.
