I mean your post is right in all aspects, but imho wt is also incapable (as it makes no sense for a video game) of reflecting soft factors like ergonomics, quality of armor, allocation of radios or quality of scopes / view angles etc.
So your term technical backwardness is imho too focused on hard factors (triangle armor, firepower, mobility) without considering the inherent flaws of them irl and the actually decisive soft factors like described by me or mentioned by you - or simply just basic elements like average levels of training or crew experience.
Have a good one!

Yes, naturally that’s completely correct. Broadly speaking it was a hodgepodge of who got which technical aspect right, especially at the beginning.
More importantly from an operational and logistical POV, let alone a strategic, or an industrial/grand strategic one, tanks are “just toys”. That enormous superstructure is not something a game like WT is designed to reflect, and yet it has an enormous impact on the tactical level as well.
That’s one of the many reasons why I’m sort of stunned that realism is such a big sticking point in conversations around this game.

t55amd is 8.7. give me an example of 8.7 vehicle that can’t kill is4m. have you noticed that is4m is still using 122mm D-25T cannon? like I said it’s a lot worse than maus’s 128mm, unless you give is4m a BR472(which I believe would probably make this vehicle w2w). I am not suggesting that is4m is weak, it’s just that maus is a lot stronger.
Please tell me where in my statement did I mention the IS-4M please, go reply to it.
They’re good at different things. The IS4M is much more versatile, because it’s not a superheavy, just a “regular” heavy with great protection in downtiers. The Maus is strong or weak at more or less the same things regardless of uptier or downtier (the only one that truly changes is that in a downtier it can be a much better roadblock).
