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.

the mobility is truly abhorrent, nothing can really compensate it
The Waffentrager is pretty good imo. What exactly do you think moving it down will change though?
Its dynamic will stay the same, it can pen everything but be penned by everything.
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
Nashorn is massive and (I believe) has more limited traverse. the Waffle trager isn’t only a powerful gun, it’s kinda a rat aswell.
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.
Only has -3 gun depression, feels like playing a better Russian tank :sob:
But by no means is it a bad tank
By many means, is it a bad tank, but idk what tank you’re talking about because nashorn has -5 and waffen has -8
Last time I looked at the stat card it literally said -3
But yet again, the T-80BVM with 3bm60 says it has an 8.5 sec reload…
So, somehow, strangely enough, consoles vs pcs have different client data that causes oddities like that

Statshark. I think the stats are 2 year stats, but it does plot a month by month tracker. Chieftan mk10 is at 1.5kdr last month with the 279 at 2.7.

Almost all of these are major uptiers? This isn’t decompression. You just made 7.0-9.0 even worse.
And whom is playing each tank?
Grizzled vets of the game will play the 279
Meanwhile anyone will play the chieftan mk10
Where do you get that idea? I’m Currently sitting on 3.0 K/D in Hovet without a single death to aircraft.
Admittedly air kills have been rather difficult, as no1 wants to spawn planes when the SPAA they face is OP.
T-64A (1971) 9.3 > 9.0 (has worse gun elevation degrees a second vs br 1.0 tanks, has armor that may stop early HEAT-FS, but will not stop APFSDS nearly at all. its pros are: good turret armor, pretty decent gun, and low profile. Cons: slow, slow reload, bad hull armor, easy to 1 hit kill.)
You should change the slow reload article on this vehicle, as of now I would call it a glass cannon

T58 8.3 > 9.0 (a very broken HEAT round, with a very broken 2.6 sec load time, with GREAT armor, and GREAT turret traverse, and can quite literally kill anything above its br, and it murders 7.3s which have no chance against it.)
Add optical rangefinder as a note, cuz it can cross snip with ease too
Lost all credibility wanting the T30 to move up. Play it first. The reload means it is a meme tank that is vastly inferior to the T34 and T29.

The T30 is incredible and pretty much easy mode lol. It’s easily on par or better than the T34.
The T29 has been lowkey undertiered at 7.0 for a while now.
