I love how you don’t send the range or shell with your images.
Because that isn’t suspicious.
And instead of having a true discussion… you resort to the “skill issue” throwing.
Cute, so clearly you agree then?
Or did you not watch the clip of my Surbassie non penning?
Lastly, you didn’t even post your T32 photos lol. Wonder why that is?
T32 is better then the T29 in every metric, so clearly it should go to 7.7 if the T29 goes to 7.3, then T32E1 and M103 go to 8.0, etc, etc…
And now for the genuine criticism:
Having 6 crew really isn’t all that special, especially when you can still lose all 4 in the turret with a single APHE pen.
The extra HMG’s are nice, sure, but absolutely not worth putting the T29 equal to the T32. A good player only needs the one '50 cal every US tank gets to perform everything you could do with 3.
And honestly, I personally think the T29-30-34 are actually pretty poor as heavy tanks. I always prefer to take the T26E5 over the T34 (Don’t have T30) and I like the T32 more then the T29. Truth is that while the armour might seem good on paper, it is easily countered by players who take just a few minutes to study the layout and find the very obvious weakpoints (Just like the Jumbo, really).
As was already pointed out, the only good piece of armour is the mantlet, the rest is quite weak, and even the mantlet cannot stand against high pen APHE like the long 88 or the D-10. Soviet heavy tanks, IS-3 and up, can. If I want to slog it out in a good brawl, I’ll always take a Soviet heavy over a US one.
In no world is the T29 equal to the IS-3 or T32, which currently sit at 7.3, so unless you move up literally every other US and Soviet heavy tank, the T29 is exactly where it should be, with a 6.7 hull (hell, close to 6.3 hull even) and a gun somewhere between 7.0 and 7.3.
yeah, its just better.
T30 is 6.7 as it has 35 second reload, low pen APHE and mainly played on HE.
T29 is a beast, i carry it with 8.0 lineup just because its a better alternative to M103, t32 and M48.
t29 is basically KT105 but instead of weak turret it has weak hull, which is a bit better. And it has mobility unlike Tiger. So unless tiger 2s are “weak enough” to move 6.3 and IS-2-44 is weak enough to be 6.0 —>T29 is never a 6.7 material.
I never said that the T29 should be 6.7, I only said that the hull is 6.7 material. Just like the Strv 74 has a hull that would fit better around 3.0, where you can find it on the Strv m/42, but it is 5.7 because of the gun.
You have less battles in T29 then in T32, so its obviously its stronger /s. and over all very little in both. so you claim something is OP and can carry 8.0 while not playing it enough to know… typical
Thanks for checking, I don’t know how to do that. But I did have serious questionmarks with that whole statement of his.
the difference is basically 10 games, and the statistics of use of T29 show its significant better performance lol.
I never bought T29 until last year as i had event T30 and premium M46 to grind tech tree. So its only natural i have less battles in it. Last year i bought it just for fun, to have something to use with linep of T114. If anything, would you then insist that M56 or M26 is more OP than T29 as i have more games on it?
What a joke.
Even so, I would like to see you provide proof/evidence of why you think the T29 is better then the T32, because the T32 outperforms the T29 in every regard except a slightly lower pen, and less HE filler but still enough that it hardly matters since they’ll both nuke anything.
It’s basically a TD at this tier, the armor doesn’t work since any round aim at your ammo (bottom left turret cheek) will oneshot you even when fully hulldown.
To be fair, I can kinda see it working as a janky TD at the tier. The 105mm is a legitimately great gun, one that most people don’t get to really experience since the only tech tree vehicle that has it is the T95. Plenty of pen, more than enough for any first gen MBTs. You’ll struggle against later heavies, but they completely fall out of the meta at 8.0. And you get exceptional post pen damage due to the HE filler. People who’ve played the Batchat or Object 906 know the power of APHE at the tier. Having really disliked the US grind at that tier, I’d have payed quite a bit for a strong APHE slinger.
Still, none of this are really arguments to move it up. It’s a heavy tank that doesn’t have reliable armor above it’s own tier, even when hulldown, and it’s gun isn’t that good. It’s fine where it is.
Intresting how you say that buffing the phanter D is even for the kv1, because it’s too week against it and you even buff the kv-1 putting it at a lower BR?And the worst is that the Sav.20.12.48 is still at 3.7!? I think that the Sav should be put at least at 4.3
The SAV and the TURM III have been far too good at dodging BR balancing. And I say that as someone who owns both
Time for some of my thoughts which are prob gonna get ignored:
It’s not really a spaa, it was even used in Vietnam against lightly armoured vehicles. No need for the be drop, imagine it downtiered to 2.7 shredding everything
I still don’t think this is necessary, the gun is a bit underpowered and 7.3 armour is stretching it a bit. If decompression happens though, it would be fine
Yep, genuinely better than the regular Sheridan
Maybe 7.0 first, very easy to kill or cas, and the rounds can be dodgy at best, plus low ammo
6.3 is a rubbish rating with constant uptiers. Again, only good with complete decompression
One more thing, the Chaffee (m24) should be at least 4.0. I love it, but to be honest u shouldn’t have a tank with a good gun, stabiliser, and great speed at 3.7
I remember when the Swedish Bofors wagon was still 2.7 (the Bofors truck still is) with it’s insane SAPHE.
Good times…
Ooh boy… ever having a bad day? Hop in the bofors truck and shred everything that u come into contact with until someone revenge kill u in a plane. Leopard 40/70 also never fails in the bullying category
My evidence is my statistic which has 1.5 KD ratio difference.
It has better cannon while being same versatile. I dont believe that the cannon worse than Tiger 2s with the 15 second of reload is great at today`s 7.3-8.3 balance.
DOnt get me wrong, T32 isnt bad. T32 is my pick if its T32 or M103 choice, but i would also pick T29 instead of T32. At least to have chances against real strong heavies.
Yes, it sure is as i bring it to uptier. But it performs well. Plus better survivability as has more spacing. Hepls well agains HEATFS and APDS.
Not if they know where to shoot. See the ammo stored behind the turret cheek?
That’s the first stage ammo stowage, meaning it’s always full, and it’s a very consistent oneshot if hit with anything, and every HEATFS and APDS round it can see at that BR will easily pen that area.
Most US tanks around this tier share that weakspot, and so it’s where I always aim when given the chance. Only exceptions are the T32 (Because the rounds are covered by the black hole mantlet) and the M103 (Where that ammo rack isn’t considered first stage).
It’s so big that it will occasionally troll people if they snapshot at your side profile, but A) It’s inconsistent, and relies on them not knowing where to aim and B) That’s equally true of the M103, except that has much better frontal armor that makes side shots more of a requirement.
T30 is mostly just funny to play. You can drive around with very little effort/situational awareness and just bonk people.
I know that alright. Still that isnt easiest part to pen, and usually it survives severa hits.
thats lie. T30 is hard to play, easilly the hardest HE slinger out ther.
