[Discussion] Balance, Bias, Matchmaking and Battle Ratings

he says this about literally everything. Moot point


Let me quote Spookston again in the first 10 seconds of his cobra king video

"It’s well-known that a lot of the heavy tanks in this game kinda struggle sometimes, but not this one, certainly not this one.

The jumbo is a great tank, you just have skill issue.
Stop claiming X tank/plane sucks when you clearly are just being an idiot

Gun, not the vehicle

people like you should not have the ability to influence gaijin’s balancing decisions. You will make the balancing worse than it already is

The most amusing part is that he ignores that the Youtuber he is using to prove his point said that the vehicle is great.

The other said that You shouldn’t use Jumbo at full uptier like all other heavies, not that the vehicle itself is bad at uptier.

But people refuse to understand what others say and use only parts that prove their point.

Normal jumbo isnt looking as good. Granted it has to be spaded in some cases… but my money is on premium is mostly getting bought by the better players

I cant comment on a video i havnt even watched lol

M47/M48 are probably the best here. They are just well rounded with decent armor, speed, gun. Both rely on HEAT to pen heavier armor but you have APHE to switch to for great flanking potential. T32 and T32E1’s armor are great if you hide the MG port on the T32 and if you don’t face HEAT. They are better than maybe they seem I think, still not meta. M103 is funny to me and I enjoyed playing it with the huge gun, using solid shot a lot or HEAT. Its armor holds up in the same way as T32 in that so long as you dont face HEAT its pretty good, though people can shoot the corners of the LFP or the Cupola with APHE. T95 is pretty useless unless you use it in a pretty funny way to anti-spawn camp. I spawn it when I don’t have to drive far from my spawn to shoot enemies which basically eliminates the issue with its mobility. M163 is a decent SPAA, really good at short range AA. Can also kill light vehicles.

M60 is preference. I don’t mind it but I will say stock it is very very slow. The armor is basically a skill check so don’t expect it to hold up everytime. The AOS in the next tier fixes the hull armor more or less

Added more to M47/M48

Ground kills 67k so x2 more kills.
Kills per death 2.21!!!
Penatrate 100meter = 143mm!!!

Can angle, better armor.
OH WAIT T - 34 - 85 max speed 61km/h
COBRA KING max speed 37km/h

Are we really trying to imply T-34-85 is stronger than Jumbo overall

Go ahead and show everybody where you think the T-34-85 has better armor

Make a angle and tank has 1000mm side armor ;)

Angle the T-34-85 and the turret is still getting penned, as well as the Hull by most guns.

Just like the Cobra King. The machine gun port can be penetrated. The corners can be penetrated, the area under the turret can be penetrated, the commander’s cupola can be penetrated. The front lower hull can also be penetrated.

A T-34-85 can be penetrated under the turret maybe 1 out of 5 times. The commander’s cupola too, depending on luck. The front can’t be penetrated. The corners can’t be penetrated. The sides can’t be penetrated if it angles properly.

T-34-85 doesn’t have good armor. It has the same hull the 3.7 T-34 has, with a turret that is easily penetrated frontally if shot in the correct spot. Jumbo is frontally IMMUNE practically to most guns it faces at 4.7-5.7 besides the MG port.

No, no — from the front it can definitely be penetrated if you know where to shoot. The weak spots are the corners above the tracks. Lately people especially liked shooting under the turret.

If the T-34-85 has its turret turned even a little, then nothing penetrates anymore. Same thing with the T-34. Right now I’m playing with the Sherman I Composito, and many times it still can’t penetrate THOSE spots you’re talking about.

I just want to remind you that I know what I’m talking about, because I’ve had a lot of battles with the COBRA KING.

Yes… the MG port… all other weakspots are not generally reliable.

T-34-85 is far less armored, FAR less armored.

Your high game count with M4A3E2 does just as much to make me think you are biased as it does to make me think you’re educated on it.
