My gripes with it are mainly the BR compression though that’s not a fault of the tank itself.
It’s just slower at moving and reloading than the Vickers too, large silhouette, the armour plate is redundant at this BR which makes it unnecessarily overweight.
bro shoots a weakspot and flabbergasted when it pens
Lmao that’s fair

Confirmation bias (Arguably also survivorship)
Not really, even my buddies were questioning it, because if I played Italy, USSR, or France we got an uptier immediately
-3 gun depression, and every enemy has HEAT FS or HEAT kinda makes that hard to do. For pretty much any of those Soviet tanks. Same with the French. Pretty much the maus is the only HEAT survivor.
It does? I get hit with a pebble and the whole thing explodes 😂 Tbf I’ve seen that happen to UK tanks too.
That really shouldn’t have penned at that high angle, with a 6.0’s stock round vs an 8.3 t-55, but I have seen crazier things happen.
A long time ago, I .50 cal’d a Leo 2 to death in my M1 abrams
Amazing bias, I dropped my cup of tea in fright
So we’re just gonna ignore the exceptional cannons on all of these. Soviet heavies at 7.7 are still pretty survivable if you engage from range. Hell, you can even brawl with them if you’re careful. French heavies at 7.7 also have exceptional guns, and decent reloads.
I play both of these pretty frequently, uptiers are only really an inconvenience with the French line and that’s only because you’re facing things that can effectively engage out to the same range as you.
You literally say you are heavily biased towards the fox
Doesn’t mean he’s wrong.
Idc if the fox goes to 8.0 or 7.3 but saying stuff like that means he is most likely exaggerating or stretching the truth to try to make the fox stay as it is or be better
Overmatch can be wacky at times.
Funno how thin the side playes are but it is the same idea behind how tiger 88 pens the centurio forehead
I’m pretty sure IRL there’s so much stuff between the commander and gunner/loader areas of the turret that even without the proposed APHE fixes, no fragmentation would be able to go into the cupola and kill everyone in the tank. But as always, conveniently not modeled.
I’ll have to say, the more I play 7.7, the more I hate the marders. They can’t seem to do anything to my mk3 without their MILANs, but they always take out my gun before I get a shot off and my mg is useless. So we’re both just sitting there spraying the other without end.
Triple fox enjoyer hussar gang
So am I, it’s why I am trying to maintain it’s realistic status in game by arguing with Gopniks and preventing the devs from taking their wails of misery seriously, because it’s happened in the past and I do not want my favourite vehicle ruined due to some whining about it when it’s completely accurate so far.
Define “exceptional” because the Is-3 / Is-6 / is-4m / T-10A, can’t pen the Maus unless your barrel is quite literally shoved into the lower side of it.
And all of these can die to the maus a bit too easily if im honest. SYX simulations showed that the Maus really shouldn’t be able to head on the IS-4M as easily as it does in game.
Pretty much every other heavy can kill a maus easier
Biased ≠ balanced
Hmm, my favorite vehicle, the Ka-50 was nerfed
It first got dropped from
•1200mm pen to 1000
•Br increased
•Then got the nerf to firing all its ATGMs one after another.
•Then its sp cost got massively increased due to its proxy fuse in the Vikhir.
I didn’t complain about it, other than the pen, because they reduced the pen from its realistic pen to a fictional pen for balance. And otherwise it was fair and balanced with the nerfs, and realistic all in the same.
I do have a realistic complaint regarding other helis, the Mi-35 is an over B’rd heli, and all its counter parts are at 10.3 but they greatly outclass it. But that’s for the purpose of balancing it.
All of these changes were desperately needed for overall balance at top tier and the ATGM changes were only performed under the pretence of more realism, none of which can be applied to the Fox since it’s been modelled very well and can’t have it’s pen or mobility adjusted without outcry since it’s practically unwarranted, the only nerf the fox can or should feasibly see is yet another BR bump but that would only make it more potent so it’s a catch 22 for you;
Leave it as is and have to occasionally face an annoying tank or have it go up and be massively more problematic at a BR where it fights thinner armour and even more premium players…
In the specific context of it vs a Chinese helicopter, yes.
