Any HEATFS or APDS round around it’s own tier, and especially in the uptiers you bring it into, will punch right through. Shots like that are the only way I stay sane while using 90mm HEATFS.
Meanwhile, if you accidentally angle your turret off to the right (Say you’re engaging another target), you open up a free shot even for high powered AP/APHE.

I guess 68-42 is 10 now… with these low numbers K/S is propably better
for T29 K/S 2.8 – bit better then the 2.1 on T32… but like you said you played it long time ago and T29 recently so you got better in the mean time… and its not crazy outlier you played a lot of tanks with K/S between 2-3 so you know what you are doing in game at least.
But you have some crazy outliers in your roster like KV-7 with k/s of 4.4, T34 with 3,5, KV1 zis5 with 3,5 all with similar number of battles to T29 where you have 2,8 but you are here arguing T29 is OP and needs to go up in BR… why are you not here arguing these are OP… i wonder… but to be fair statistics with these kind of low numbers of battles are useless but at least they show its not one of the OP vehicles in your roster but just one where you do slightly above your average.
I mean if you compare it to HE slingers like the modern undertiered ones at 7.0-8.0, sure it’s worse than those.
However it takes almost 0 effort for me to play the T30 and I much rather play the T30 than the M109A1 for example.
Well thats no doubt
Ah happened to me several times. That still requires some skill and luck from the opponent
You forgot to add 9 from the arcade. So yes, its 10
its 3.7 kill/death and ~1.95 at T32 tho.
Not like i played it 5 years ago tho. And i dont believe that difference between me at 5500 hours and 6000 ingame is such a significant. Tho i can accept your point…
I mean, you also need to understand that at 4,3s there are 1) just more enemeis 2) they themselves are worse players. KV-7 is pretty balanced if you ask me, it just punushes newbies very much. T29 also punishes newbies greatly, but the newbie amont at that BR is just different.
I still remember getting my Tiger 2H and meeting T29 back in the day and it was hilariously bad.
uh, no, i argue that it shouldnt get lowered. Its fine where it is, its better than T34 and T30 so it is a bit higher. The only reasoning for it to be higher is IS-6 at 7.7 xD
I only choose t30 as its premium. It forgives more mistakes tho, i agree. But its just a worse slinger -basically twice longer reload and worse mobility.
It has two major weakzones in front to the sides of the “box”
Yes, also that. Guns arent much so uptiered its useless, but downtiered it shreads anything it meets.
May it have been me?)
I used it recently to grind silver for lootboxes. Got one gucci plane, but thats all. Still worth it.
Got one huge game
If you are fully bushed up and same M10 killed you twice on one game (used backup) and then got you with APCR from the event chaffe and bombed you with corsair in the others the ye.
PS bushes in low tier – not cool.
And the weak spots are two shot ones i think and only when not angled… first shot there gets eaten by the fuel tank, i found the gunners port and the area around it more reliable to one shot with us 75 but its tiny…
I choose the T30 over the M109A1 because it’s just more versatile against ground vehicles.
I can deal with a slower vehicle with a long reload but with good gun angles and forgiving protection. However I hate tall and lightly armored vehicles with only -3 gun depression (which is exactly what the M109A1 is).

I agree with 7.0.
Also it has an ammo box now so ammo count is less of a problem.
Definitely APDS and HEATFS.
Though APHE (which is what most (viable) tanks at 6.7 - 7.3 have tbh) can struggle penetrating unless the T29 is not looking.
You’d have to shoot the cupola (which I find unreliable), forehead (which is quite small) or turret breech (which is quite trolly) instead.
At 6.3, the M109 is quite good for what it is, but I agree that the T30 can be more usable.

Oh my god, really? Guess what, the T32 is still miles better.

Though the T29 is still quite powerful at 7.0, even after its reload nerf.
I’m not sure if it should be facing panthers and Tigers in a full downtier tbh, just like the Tiger IIs shouldn’t be facing the 75mm Jumbo.

It’s better than the 4.3 AMX-13 (F11) in all aspects other than acceleration and yet it’s lower by 0.7 BRs 😅
The only gripe I have with the Chaffee is that it doesn’t have a 5s reload (6.5s is quite mediocre) unlike the other American 75mm shell slingers.
Well that is the M6 for ya. It is literally a M3 75, but adapted for use in a more cramped environment (a.i. the turret of the Chaffee), with a slower reload as a result.
The Chaffee having a longer reload is historically accurate
If only they’d keep that rule consistent…
Achilles still has the same reload as the Sherman Firefly 😅
ah then no. i dont use the bush on my KV-7. I believe it would have been better if i used, but i just despice that tactic with heavy tanks.
Well, that is credits to you. Honestly.
I don’t have any bushes (I don’t buy em from the BP store either), I just use whatever shield or other big decoration I have to try and mask weaker points. A little scummy, but not nearly as confusing for enemies as bushes are.
well it usually leads me to end up reloading with the enemy behind the same house as me :3
