Why do late WW2 tanks consistently face off with mid-cold war tanks that have much better technology, armour, rounds, and missiles that outclass late war tanks by such a degree that any thought of historical accuracy or balanced matchmaking might aswell be thrown out the window.

what tanks are you talking about
All 6.7 WW2 tanks such as the Tortoise and Tiger 2
And what are the problem tanks they face
The ones that I’ve had the most annoyance with are the BMP-1, Leo 1, M56 Scorpion, T-54, M60, Marder A1 and T92. But rarely do you actually face the vehicles that these tanks were designed to fight. There is also the massive problem of these tanks not even being able to just stick to long range engagements against cold war vehicles because their rangefinders don’t exceed ~850m whereas opponents have advanced rangefinders and can zero in on your location before you can even put in a ranging shot.

what do you think these more advanced tanks should face in downtiers?
They should face less advanced cold war vehicles like the Ratel 90 or FV4005 that already have low BRs.

In my case, the most annoying opponent I faced was…
T-54, I think… Not sure which year.
While playing a Tiger 2 H.
Granted, I used the standard AP shell, and could have used the APCR, possibly…
But in either case, it is really annoying to try to fight it at ~700 m distance and have no way to penetrate it from the front, while it can penetrate the front turret with virtually no issues.
A medium tank. Well, an MBT, if You will.
Beating a heavy tank. From the front.
IS-6 was also annoying, it shrugs shells like it was nothing, while blasting the Tiger 2 into the turret from the front, with a single shot.
Similar with IS-4…
Meanwhile…
These are glass canons at least, I can handle them.
Same here, I think.
Glass canons.
I think M60 more or less can be handled. Armor at least isn’t as obnoxious as the Soviets’.
is 6 can be passed right from the barrel into the coaxial machine gun port it passes you into the turret anywhere and your lfp
T54 t54 47 can be written in the mantelet but for the 49 and 51 it can only be entered in cupola t54 47 can be written in the mantelet but for the 49 and 51 it can only be entered in the dome
in return it can write your turret easily and your bottom also it has access to better optics than the is 6 and in addition the version 51 has apds and heat fs able to cross you anywhere
m48 is a dangerous tank for you because the turret armor is relatively good it can be written next to the gun or in the dome the difference with the m60 is that it has lfp vulnerable
m48 is a dangerous tank for you because the turret armor is relatively good it can be written next to the gun or in the dome the difference with the m60 is that it has lfp vulnerable and a 90mm gun compared to the 105 mm of the M60
Not really feasible hunting for pixels in a long range (500 m +) engagement.
Tiger’s strength was the long range. At least in the past.
at any distance this tank is surpassed
In that case, it’s BR reduction should be up for consideration.
And would You look at that - it seems some of the competition will be met even more rarely on the battle:
I suppose I should be thankful.
I have always thought and I believe even more that the spread br should be lowered +/- 1.0 to +/- 0.7 you’ll fix a lot of problems with it

What vehicle’s BR?
Good changes, but when will the chieftain mk3 and mk5 receive L23? all mbt’s in that br range have a dart that at the very least, performs as well as their apds or is notably stronger, while being more mobile, the only strength on the chieftains is their hulldown potential which is now pretty much non besides the MK10 due to it having steelbrew, at this point is hilarious go karts in the same br range have access to 105 dm23 while the chieftains can only cope with a nerfed 120mm apds
With the Swedish tech tree, there already is a big BR gap with SPAA forcing the player into higher BR games. Are there going to be new additions coming to bridge these gaps or are these 4 tanks in 7.3-7.7 going to be like how the Bkan 1C(RB6.7) and Charioteer Mk V(RB6.3) are the only 6.0 tanks in the Swedish tech tree?
Tiger 2H is very well placed at 6.7. It will not move.
Tiger 2 facing cold war tanks is bad but I dont mind downtiers thread #2894152694
