ever seen a premium tank nerfed? Me neither. Especially when they sell like hot cakes. If T58 was a tech tree then it would be up tiered or receive a nerf already, but nooooo “our stat shows that the tank is doing really bad” or something

The round that it uses is anything but “poor ammunition” bro. It can easily one shot nearly all tank it faces.

Uh yes, like as I said, the other us oscillating tank(t54e1) gun nerfed its reload. Please read and think before making accusations that I didn’t say.
Its still amazing
That’s kind of the point. The thing has a HESH shell that can literally overpressure other heavy tanks by hitting the ground next to their track. Nothing in a 7.3 downtier can even dream of penning anywhere on the turret of this thing. And that’s assuming you get to fire first. The T58 right now is basically a free guaranteed kill for the user given they don’t drive out into the open or try shooting while moving top speed. If you have an IQ above 80 its pretty easy to get 6 kills, one for every round in the autoloader. I had one of these camp my spawn in a 8.0 match and it was impossible to kill. Pushing it was instant death, and anytime anyone tried to outflank it they’d get their cupola obliterated or would get counter-flanked by it, because its armor is practically invincible except for the very bottom of the hull (which only 7.7+ tanks with HEAT or good solid shot can go through).
Make this thing 8.7, I’m tired of seeing 5 of them on an American team just steamroll everyone every match. Its a completely braindead tank that makes the (also 8.3) Turm III look like a vehicle that needs skill. Like seriously, who at Gaijin thought this was an acceptable tank for this battle-rating? 16kg of explosive mass HESH shell with a 2.6 second reload at 8.3 with the M103 hull and 4 times the turret armor??? You can’t even pen the turret cheeks with 10.0 APFSDS, and the turret ring just outright eats them with no damage. And its currently at the tier where most countries just barely started getting stabilizers, let alone a decent APDS shell. Yeah, makes perfect sense. Turret cheeks with 500mm of effective armor against chemical rounds and 600mm against solid rounds makes total sense at 8.3 with a cannon 50mm larger than the Turm III and half the reload speed.
Like, hello? Is this really that crazy to point out? Its not just an “oh on paper its good, but in practice it’s balanced” kinda deal either. Like I said, I’ve only seen these things go down when they overextend and get 5 people shooting them all at once, or they run out of ammo after effortlessly killing 5 or 6 people. This thing is incredibly undertiered and it leaves a bad taste in the mouth of everyone I know, me included. This thing could be moved up to 9.0 and still perform well at its intended role of hull-down sniping or inner-city brawling.
