So, just my thoughts here.
Obj.906 is only good if your team lets the flank fold, which gives any light tank a good chance to be very effective. Also due to the loudness increase of all Soviet light tanks, and grits rather large size, I think it’s balanced perfectly at 8.0
Aubl 74 HVG doesn’t need a br decrease as crazy as it sounds, because it won’t make it any better. It merely needs a reload buff, to make it load as quick as 4.0 - 4.5 secs.
Then, my last thought is the Waffentrager, it’s a potent long 88mm at 5.7, you can pierce anything easily. Play it like a long range sniper and you’re golden. It’s very low profile and better than the Nashorn.
It is definitely on the strong side of 8.0 when it comes to light tanks.
It has mobility, full stabilizer and a 4.3s reload speed paired with APHE and HEAT-FS.
Just comparing it to the Char 25t is reason enough for it to go to 8.3. Apparently, getting a full stabilizer and access to HEATFS shells is not worthy of an increase in BR.
All of those tanks have very strong armor, like VERY strong armor. Drooping the kv1s to 4.3 and 4.0 would just make them invicible and at that point the bad gun doesnt matter. Kv220 is already notoriously good and doesntneed a buff
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.
