Fix US M3 90MM gun

for some clarification: T34 is the us heavy tank and T-34 is the Soviet midium tank…

13

no no, im talking about the soviet t-34 not the US T34 I should probably specified that haha

14

I´ld like to have some historical matchmaking in which every teavy tank excels…, then I want SARH dominance by the us and allies, and some good old r73 which counters it bc the soviets had far superior IR-missiles(doesnt feel like ingame, but was the reason for the aim9x development)

That would be great. And have no CAS to ruin you game when youre on a kill streak.

They sort of can considering that Gaijin themselves decided on;

  • Which formula to use.
  • The values for each constant.
  • which characteristics to use as variables (e.g. the APCR calculator uses overall projectile weight, not penetrator (slug) weight).
  • There is no separate calculator to account for design decisions e.g. Blunt nose or capped projectiles.

Each of which has varied impacts on how similar performance is to known data for the actual designs since they were designed with things that aren’t said specific calculators in mind.

cas is only a hightier problem, its only a agm spam, which is hard to stop when the cas player is using some elevation as cover making most of the spaa´s useless. lowtier has not such problems.

I dont know about you, but i get killed by planes all the time

19

also, what do you think of changing the m26s class to heavy and making it 5.7?

you could do the same with the panther, put it at 4.7-5.0 and enjoy your new heavy tank

21

No, it should simply return to 6.3

Move to 6.7 was not justified IMO

crazy, because thats what gaijin did with APHE buffs, and how they nerfed all the ammo for U.S Shermans, then uptiered them, oh and how they did the nerf to m735

27

what always got me was didnt APHE actually have less penetration than normal solid shot? which was one of the reason the british continued useing it. I think that would be intresting to add into the game, you sacrifice post pen damage for penetration. also they need to fix spall.

Honestly when you get 90mm it is a really solid gun that can get kills quite well and I’m not that good. It can easily kill tigers1s from the hull and the he can kill a panther d if you hit anywhere on the turret so honestly the 90mm is the best American mid tier gun imo. Also mounted at 5.7 so away from most tiger 2s on the t1e1 that has a 40kph reverse with a huge engine that can tank all guns at its br it is kinda goated just research the improved fpe and you’re good to go on tiger hunting.

29

6.0-6.3 Mebbe because 6.7 is matchmaked with the t34(american) and all of those insane heavies like the t29. And I mean, it’s a 90mm man and the t1e1(90) is at 5.7 so maybe replace the jumbo76 with it?

like I said, if they fixed its gun (made it realistic and or, T33 should be able to UFP panthers from around 1000m to 2000m) I could see it being 6.7. But otherwise, as I said earlier, it should be classified as a heavy and put at a lower BR.
