The T32 and T29 are not even comparable. The T32 is better by pretty much every metric.

how is it fair if t29 is just bettah?
except mobility and firepower, lol
T32 has a PtW ratio of 14.3 hp/t with a max speed of 35 kph
T29 has a PtW ratio of 12.0 hp/t with a max speed of 35 kph
The reloads appear to be about the same, 14.5 seconds v.s 14.9, however the T29 only has 8 rounds ready.
As far as gun performance, the T29 has slightly better pen and more filler, however you’re really not gonna be penning anything with the T29 that you wouldn’t with the T32. The T32 is also very consistent with 1-shots so I don’t imagine the extra filler would have a noticeable gameplay difference (although I don’t own it so I can’t confirm). As far as other gun performance stats.
T32 - 975m/s, 14mm fuze sensitivity
T29 - 899 m/s, 19mm fuze sensitivity
The T32 is better in both muzzle velocity, and fuze sensitivity, which are both factors you can feel while playing. T32 will be easier to aim, and have a better time destroying light tanks.

8 rounds of annihilating 105mm APHE with 260 pen, while T32 has whopping 6.7-ish BR cannon with 220. Same T29 easilly defeats IS-6 while t32 struggles.

Ohh russian tanks have to shoot the hull of a heavy tank in a uptier while facing it frontally… Clearly that means said heavy tank has to go higher in BR…
Meanwhile ussian heavies and mediums againts the same BR vehicles
7.7 - IS4M vs T32E1 (T41 shot)
Or even against the M103s solid shot (that is the primary one on the tank… it has heat but that one is after changing munition and reload)
and even from the side… as long as hulldown even a little bit its invunerable even from the side
7.7 - or even medium T54 vs T32E1 (T29 has simmilar profile BTW just longer reload and 30mm of extra pen does not do much )
IS3(T10A) vs T32E1 (still pretty much the same as T29)
And bonus points 5.7 IS1 vs Kobra king you complained about beeing OP too
By your logic IS1 should be something the Jumbo/Cobra king should never be able to see… so its cleary at least 7.0 (before someone misquotes me its sarcasm)
And reminder this is 7.0 T29 vs 6.3 IS2 (BR-471B)
Clearly super OP armor… or some skill issues well obviosly
if you shoot the turret cheeks with this armor profile… and not sure what you mean by best round by how trolly you are describing it you are propably using the APCBC instead of the APHEBC because the flat pen number on the APCBC looks bigger so more skill issues.

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
