Those stats are good on paper, but when you remember the T58 is 8.3 and is only 0.4 battle ratings away from second-generation MBTs with APFSDS and laser rangefinders (Type 74s), it is quite sensible. :)
Even at 9.3 in full uptiers, I am usually #1 on the team.
My first match of the day, in the T-58 2 days ago, I went 10 kills, 1 assist, and 1 cap, with a nuke.
It can see 7.3s… like I have avoided 7.3-8.3 religiously since that tank had come out because a good player or even an average player can wipe 3-4 people easily.
Which brings me back to my point about most players being unfamiliar with it and not knowing how to counter it reliably yet. :)
It’s been out for well over 2 months. People know how to kill it. Its turret ring is 406mm thick and eats a lot tbh.
There is no feasible reason for it to remain 8.3
Like I said, a good tank can average 2.0 KDr an over preforming tank can get a 3.0 a crazily over power tank? Apparently 4.0 KDr
Well… one main advantage oscillating turrets have is that the turret ring is significantly more armored than conventional tanks. :)
I think the main problem is people forgetting that it is still a US heavy, facing it head-on is the worst thing to do, while facing it from any angle allows you to capitalize on the 51mm weak sides.
Even those “weak” sides bounce a lot. They love to shatter APDS
You must consider you, and the enemy are likely moving at the same time, also you have “consider camera vertical angle” on. Turn that off.
Fairly forgiving if you ask me.
The T58 is unstabilized, as with most oscillating turrets. The area under the mantlet is a pretty safe area to shoot. :)
Right under the gun is the ideal spot to shoot, but if it’s hull down forget it.
Oscillated turrets bounce less than normal guns usually.
Then shoot the barrel out or don’t engage a hulldown tank. :)
At 8.3, multitudes of other vehicles already have stabilizers, even the Russian heavies do for the most part.
Tiger E also has more gunner zoom at 5x, where kv220 only at 3.5x, one will see better and aim better, also terrain pattern doesn’t restrict the gun as much as kv where a slight angled terrain will make the gun point at the moon.

Perhaps this is because the KV-220 is more suited for close quarters brawls over midrange dominance? :)
And Tiger E more famous, and people were like wtf is a kv220 :)))

The T-10M is kinda crap. And with the T-58s barrel it’s hard to snipe it doesn’t have a weak barrel
But it has access to ~400mm pen APDS and HEATFS, no?
Its APDS shatters more than the Brit’s does. The HEAT FS does really low damage for some reason. The APHE is the way to go to be honest.
this is no coincidence)) buy gilded birdies and ask no questions))

the apds is akin to a casino roulette - it either shatters on a side of a sheridan or lolpens a t-72
aphe is the only way tbh
to be fair, its breech armor is like 50mm thick so its not hard to disable
it sucks massive donkey balls
dont forget the abysmal reload rate
