Eh… the issue is without those weakspots heavies get moved up further to a point where there armor becomes irrelevant. Lack of real gunner sights really does make them even at a reasonable BR at the first place because they arent invincible- most of them have pretty good guns for the BR too, so its not like they tend to lack in firepower comparably.
Stuff like long-reload derp guns or soviet tanks with the 122s should be able to disable shooting if they hit the barrel, if only because otherwise it would become a black hole that people would use to block shots.
Aim for weak spots. Maybe the cupola on the tiger h1. Also, American stock grind is so painful. My experiences with playing American low tier are just horrible. Also there have been plenty of times I have died to a jumbo in my tiger. It all about where you aim and knowing the Weak spots.
Why do so many people think “balanced” = “able to be frontally penetrated even by the weakest gun it can encounter”?
In AB I can understand such logic, but in RB, pixel-hunting renders too many machines functionally unable to perform the roles they were intended to.
The funny thing is that it’s pen was already buffed a few years ago, when Gaijin introduced the penetration formula into the game. Before that, it had even less pen:
My point being: this already was a problem since the introduction of this vehicle. My advice would be: don’t push alone, rely on your teammates with better guns to take out Tigers and Panthers while you bait their shots.

While you are correct about the penetration being worse, what you’ve pointed out in the statcard is the current penetration of M72, not the old penetration of M61.
