Yeah I play coastal which is 90% getting bullied by Bluewater lol
Costal makes far less anyways. Not suggested at all
dude you can 0.50cal them they just have good mobility
I’m pretty sure 7.62 can go through the turret ring if I recall
I don’t think I’ve seen like anyone ever use their 7.62 for micro shots unless it’s an open top. Also turret ring? Their turrets basically cover that and even on the most thin model you need a 50. Besides the turret armor on the BT-5 and 7 is 15 to 16mm with 13mm in one spot which won’t let rounds in.
Tbf you can 50 cal like most things from 1.0-2.0 lol, it’s essentially an autocannon
“They can be .50 cal’d” isn’t really saying much. They’re low BR light tanks. That’s kinda the expectation.
Having bad armor doesn’t exempt a tank from being undertiered anyways.
The problem also isn’t just that they have good mobility. The 45 mm gun is frankly overpowered at 1.0-1.3. It gets everything short of stabilization.

Low BR with very good flanking potential. It’s one of the reasons they are still used into higher tiers is their speed
That sounds like skill issue

Translation: I spent a lot of real money on this vehicle expecting it to be nearly untouchable. Now that it isn’t, I think it should be moved down in BR—while anything capable of killing me should be moved up—regardless of their actual performance or statistics.
That’s exactly the mindset I described in my original reply.

Saying a Tiger 1 can deal with it easily is such a low bar and you know that. Just admit that you wasted money on war thunder and want to be compensated because what you spent money on didn’t meet your expectations
You can check my Tiger East/West stats and You will see that I’m not lying.
P.S. I have KW-220 from event ;)

I mean it’s a pretty strong tank at 7.7 and incredibly easy to play, however I’m personslly not sure about it moving up.
personally I wouldn’t admit to spending money on this game but you do you I guess
now, for my own BR suggestion:
Churchill VII to 4.3
Reasoning:
The British 75 might be one of the worst guns in the entire game. The add on armor literally does not matter (especially with the matchmaker being the way it is you’re getting all 5.7 games anyway) when almost anything you see can still kill you frontally by shooting through the tracks, and Soviet tanks can just shoot your turret roof because their angled performance is F*CKED. There’s genuinely zero reason to ever crew the thing because the NA75 has the objectively better M61 and the III has the objectively better gun.
The Caenarvon is literally just better. Don’t get me wrong, I ADORE the Conqueror and have done pretty well in it, but a 15 second reload is genuinely crippling and it’s shooting early APDS which is… yeah. The 20 pounder has way less pen than the Conq’s 120, but you also don’t have a reload so bad that you can’t even use the thing on a lot of city maps. It’s a good tank, but to put it to 8.0 is genuinely just unreasonable.
I found it a pretty solid brawler due to the stab, I’m close to a 3 K/D in mine, probably the most fun tank I own in that BR range.

It’s a good tank, don’t get me wrong, but the 15 second reload is more than enough of a downside for everything it has to deal with ignoring the state of the matchmaker
I do think it would be very funny if it got an ahistorical tracking radar so I could consistently shoot down helicopters with it tho

I’m not saying they all don’t have some bad players, but the majority are from the USA. My buddy and I were playing 9.7 and were top of the team most matches all night, despite the fact we were playing stock / bad tanks like the M1296
