T34’s round ddoes not 1-shot nearly as often as T29’s APHE or T30’s APHE. It’s just the nature of AP rounds, let alone an AP round with no overpressure.
The T29 gets the T30’s aspect (good one-shot APHE) and the T34’s aspect (good penetration, an extra coaxial 50.cal, and reload).
It shouldn’t be the same BR as the T30 nor T34.
What tank do you think it won’t one shot?
Are you just shooting center mass or weakspots?
Because generally I try hitting ammo over all no matter what I’m using.
But as I said earlier.
T34 / T30 ≠ 6.7 material. They do = 7.0 material.
And until recently I had the T29 as a 7.3 if you recall.
Perfect example is the Ho-Ri Production / Prototype.
That, and side-shots often aren’t one shots unless you specifically go for ammo.
Maybe, but they are definitely not equal to T29.
Plus, even if you hit ammo, sometimes it just doesn’t explode. That and you have to direct impact the ammo to set it off.
Well, with the reload nerf the T29 is a better balanced 7.0
So how else would you fix it?
They’re too strong for 6.7
5.7 literally stands 0 chance.
Just as 6.0 stood very little chance vs the old T29.
Maybe many years ago.
Ammo seems to just explode even if it’s just yellow now.
Very often as of late I’ve been struck by solid shot, it made the ammo yellow, then I exploded.
5.7s are infinitely better off against the T34 or T30 vs a Tiger II. The LFP and MG port are easily pennable by the 85 and 88.
I’d rebuff the T29’s reload to 12.5s / 12.0s and then move it up to 7.3.
Even with that reload it’s not really 7.3 good. T32 is right there and SIGNIFICANTLY better.
T32’s round doesn’t have as much penetration and doesn’t have overpressure.
With the reload buff, it would reload better than the T32 too.
The mg port never used to be as pennable and honestly it feels bugged.
Like the IS-2 bug all over again. It’s as thin as 1mm in spots.
But I would say the armor is much more trolly on the T34/30
Although I do agree the Tiger II H with its recent volumetric buff did make it much stronger.
It passes the pen threshold for most targets, except a ranged HoRi Prod and Maus, while boasting better mobility, armor, and GH. T29 (buffed) would have quite a better gun but the T32 isn’t exactly lacking in this department.
That’s what it was previously. And many cried saying it was too weak.
Who???
Insert any USA main.
Yet again a lot of them cry most USA tanks are weak.
But this in particular thread? I am not scrolling through all of it XD
It’s not lacking but it’s definitely nothing crazy. Its gun is just a Tiger II gun with a 14.5s reload…which is mediocre for that BR, at least in my opinion.
T29’s gun with a 12.0 / 12.5s reload is much better.
Yeah just ignore them. Statpadders used (and still use) the T29.
Oh yeah for sure, but if you think about it, almost all 7.3s possess 6.7 guns but better armor/mobility/something else.
15.0s reload T29 isn’t as good as it used to be, but it’s still very good for 7.0.
