both at 1.7 then? My biggest problem is that it has a .50cal as a secondary. Which if you play those br is an equivalent of an auto cannon.
I get it, definitely not 1.0 because that completely invalidates the M2A2. So somewhere between 1.3 to 1.7 depending on performance.
Gaijin believe 2x .50 cals is 1.7 worthy for example with the M13.
Do you also have info on the M2 Medium? My boy is super slow. Has a shoulder stock modeled, but not usable.
It’s not even the strongest 6.7.
IS-2M to 6.3
Has no real advantages over IS-2 1944 and can be only taken as sidegrade in current implementation.

It’s pretty much the strongest 6.7
It does have a shoulder stab. Hunnicutt’s Sherman book has an internal photo showing it. The mount is of a similar style to that of early M2A4s iirc. There’s not much source material to work with though, so there’s not any way to report the turret traverse rate.
I’ll get around to reporting it at some point. Probably the same time that I report the Stuart’s turret side armor.

can we invent the .75 BR bracket. It’s for vehicles that aren’t overpowered enough to actually move up in BR but also completely ruin downtiers, alternatively move all of the 8.7 demons to 9.0 so I don’t have to fight t58s and geppies and ITPSVs when I just want to play the conqueror
I have to say that, in the past couple years, Gaijin has taken large steps in correcting obviously bad BR placements. There are, however, a few vehicles I want to mention:
Challenger 2 BN: 12.7->12.3
I’m not sure why this vehicle was left at top tier after we got top tier brought to 12.7. Is there really a 1.0 BR gap in performance between the CR2 BN and the regular CR2s? Sure, you’ve got the APS and upgraded thermals. But armor, mobility, and firepower are identical. With the Aussie Abrams in the game now, I think we can safely drop the BR of the Black Night.
Churchill VII: 5.0->4.7
Man, I’m really bummed they moved the Churchill up. This was one of the few vehicles in game you could pretty much always have fun with. Just slowly traversing through dozens and dozens of shells. Which leads to my point, the Churchill VII was pretty much always harmless. It’s got great armor but a pretty weak gun and terrible mobility. It is probably one of the easiest non-TDs to flank. Low tier players just can’t handle going around a target, I guess.
T-80UD/BE: 11.0->10.7
This is a more complicated one. It’s a victim of BR compression, because this vehicle really sucks. But it’s also an upgrade of a nearly identical vehicle (the regular UD). I’m conflicted on this, but the thermals in my opinion basically don’t add anything of value to the vehicle (sniping in a T-80UD? Really?) and just force it to face 12.0 vehicles. It doesn’t deserve 11.0 but also not really 10.7.
Hell nah. It’s far too strong at 4.7 with APHE.
