Im also including the Ram tanks in the sherman list as they are basically lower tier jumbos, especially in playstyle.
Extra ton of weight, and lower top speed. Will get though gears faster on hilly terrain but as most maps are flat bowls at that BR the T-34 still wins overall. Far better reverse too.
this is from stock grinding, Im grinding the USSR tree and have moved on to the IS-2 now. Stock grinds for most other tanks ive played in germany and britain have been painful more than not. USSR was instantly more than competitive once i had parts.
I just wanna say, the T-34’s armor strength does not come from T H I C Cness alone. It’s a complete volumetric black hole, being near completely impervious to HE, and occasionally tanking long 88mm to the face.
Because most of those are either average or trash. The Jumbos are just flat overtiered.
The only ones you can really make an argument for raising are the T26E5 and the T32, however neither of those are even the best at their BR and 6.7-8.3 is extremely compressed so you could make a case that pretty much any tank within that range should be raised.
