Does M26 pershing belong at 6.7?

u sure u understand my posts? I didn’t say that

“M26 and its variants should be at 6.3” t26e1-1 and t26e5 are m26 variants and M46 definetely deserves its br

Mentioning spookston in any regard to game balance hurts your argument more than it helps.

no, it isn’t. APCR is still far too crap in war thunder to justify the tiny damage it creates

Why

Yeah no, it certainly belongs lower. Every other Pershing at the same BR is just… better. In every conceivable manner except mobility. Belongs at 6.3 IMO.
You have the Super Pershing/T26E1-1, Jumbo Pershing/T26E5, M26E1 (Normal Pershing but long 90), and M26 T99, all at the same BR, offering something better.
Super Pershing? Better gun, slightly better armor.
Jumbo Pershing? Same gun, but armor capable of stopping even the Soviet 122 and German long 88.
M26E1? Literally just the normal Pershing but with the long 90.
M26 T99? Base Pershing, but you get rockets that are more useful than you’d think. Maybe not enough to justify 6.7, but still.

it can one tap does similar damage to sabo obviously should not be a primary round but a goods secondary

No, it doesn’t. APCR is distinctly coded to do less damage than apds/apfsds. It also has massive problems with angles/shattering/spall/etc combined with a poor reload rate on the 90mm.

I carry like 2 rounds on any US tank that has it and I almost never get to shoot it because the times its a better round to use than APHE are extremely rare.

only apcr that ive seen that can do angles

not going down until everything below is severely decompressed

Ever since he switched to his “slop” content, his opinions, or rather the way he expresses them, have adapted to it. Not to mention he probably exacerbated the problem of one vehicle lineups.

He shoots one guy and goes “AHHHH THIS VEHICLE IS INSANE”.

Why? It was considered balanced, even leaning towards on the weaker side for years at 6.3.

MM is a complete mess right now at this range 5.7s constantly get uptiered now since german and russian 5.7s got moved up so lots less people at that range

name a single 5.3 that can have a fair fight against it

t34 85 D5T it does well cause of russian rounds being crazy

what exactly makes this not a fair fight

I’ll give some from each tree (Just 5.3)

Panther D
Nashorn (To an extent)
T-34-85 (D-5T)
KV-122
ISU-122
TOG II
M36 (CN)
ISU-122 (CN)
ARL-44

Theres also a handful of others in the area around it. I also cut a couple due to being unsure.

while im a strong advocator for the T34-85 family going up in BR no. it can hit the MG port and thats it while the T34 is cardboard to the M3 90mm

For german: Panther D, Nashorn, Panzer IV/70(V), VK 3002

For Soviets: T-34-85s, M4A2, ISU-122

For GB: Comet, Avenger (even at 4.7 lol), Challenger, A.C.IV

Remember even if M26 is at 6.3, those aforelisted vehicles are at least 1.0BR lower than 6.3.

I won’t list all u can go and take a look at the wiki urself.
