Could Gaijin explain why the new BP T-44 (FM) is 6.3?

Well hopefully they change it. Doesn’t seem reasonable for it to stay at 6.0 as you’ve highlighted…

Then go suggest the T-44-122 be moved up in BR.
But as you can see, its reload is worse.

Either way the T-44FM is perfect for 6.3.

As you can see, the IS-2 and KV-122 reloads are worse than IS-1 and KV-85 as well.

IS-1 gets 85mm instead of 122mm and no other changes. Is at 5.7 instead of 6.3.
KV-85 gets 85mm instead of 122mm and moves slightly faster. Is at 5.0 instead of 5.3.
T-44 FM gets 85mm instead of 122mm and is also slower and less armoured. Is still at 6.3. Why?

The T-44FM is faster and the IS-2 has a faster reload over the T-44 122.

Because it’s a different vehicle? T-44-122 holds the slowest reload rate between soviet 122 mm, while also having the worse armor values for a medium tank at the soviet tech tree.

T-44 FM gets the same bad chassis, add the terrible 85 mm cannon on the regular T-44-85 and still faces Tiger IIs, and T34 Heavy Tanks. The way you refer to the T-44 FM seems like it’s better than the IS-2 and T-44-122 together.

Will this vehicle be any good? I hope it is strong I bought the pass.

In vain, it’s literally a frag on tracks

Well , it has a lower br and its relatively quick compared to others, who knows might be pretty good. I wish gajiin would come up with vehicles like the IS-7, we need game changers.

its a T34 85 gun and its driver port is a free one shot

Because it reloads about as fast as restocking an entire home depot?

You’re comparing two sets of heavy to a pair of mediums. Not to mention the T-44-122 has an even slower reload than the other 122s.
Compared to the TT T-44 it’s, what, got slightly less turret armour and an UFP weakspot? A .3 decrease is generous. Compare it the to T-34 and see if you don’t see the upgrades there.

It has much less armor, since it has a T-34-85 turret.

When you already have a 27s reload on IS2/KV122, what is 30s. The difference is not like ISU-122S 15s reload becoming 30s.

How can changing just the gun have wildly different BR steps?
In that case, KV-85 must be moved to 5.3 and IS-1 must be moved to 6.3.

stona moment
I love when stona does ‘stona moment’ to the topic, which will burn like solar by Gaijin’s problem.

I mean if you say so

Can you blame him lol. So many dumb topics he comes across daily and has to deal with due to issues with them. Looks like an honest mistake that he fixed relatively quickly.

Maybe or Maybe not.
I just love to see ‘stona moment’ nowadays :P

Ya, guns should not be the deciding factor for br bracket placement, they are a key factors but not the only ones. I think they should monitor this t-44 with the 34-85 turret could go down to 6.0 or remain at 6.3. The issue is not the 6.3 bracket that it will have to compete against, the full up tier becomes the problem.
