It is a strong 8.0 yes, however I don’t believe it’s strong enough for a br change, look at things like the M551(76) at 7.0 a full br lower, no APHE, but more pen than the obj.906 and a full stab. It’s a bit harder to machine gun over the obj.906, and has better gun depression, with I think an aced 5.5~ sec reload? And an HMG, and smoke grenades.
Obj.906 has better mobility in reverse, and slightly better forward.
I think what would fix things like that is the additional modules, not a br change.
I don’t think people understand just how truly, absolutely, positively horrendous it’s mobility is.
It’s slower than the recently nerfed Tiger II’s and it’s not too far off from the Maus, all whilst having no armour, awful turret traverse, no secondary and only three crew.
There’s no way that thing deserves the same BR as a M36, let alone being at a higher BR.
Everything kills it easier than it kills everything else.
Meanwhile, it’s got literally nothing going for it besides that shell. It’s so incredibly sad that when someone calls arty near it, it often doesn’t even have the mobility to get away in time.
Yeah waffen has the same gun the nashorn does at 5.3 except 1. the nashorn is faster 2. the nashorn can probably turn faster in a circle without a turret than waffentrager probably could even if you included its turret rotation
Where are you getting those stats from? Also, one is played far more commonly than the other, and likely, a lot of the obj.279 stats are from when it was 8.3 / 8.7
Generally when things like that go higher in br, people play them less.
