Its both sides, everyone adds to it
Its why i just stick to my Draken forums for posting stuff, no hate to wrry about with bad takes. Personal yap zone
Say what you will, but exposing factually better vehicles than their counterparts is just my way of life. All in all, game balance, and fun above all else
You need a better hobby, just do what i do

A nice to have, but not completely exceptional advantage. The IS-1 has a more than comfortable reverse speed.
It’s tied for second fastest out of four tanks. In other words, it’s tied for the second slowest 5.7 heavy. Whew, what an advantage.
It really, really doesn’t, at least not in comparison to other 5.7 heavies. The Tiger’s got the black hole driver’s port and machine gun port, while the IS-1 has the UFP and turret of many angles, which will both easily eat shells that should pen. Meanwhile, the Jumbo’s bipolar machine gun port that will sometimes eat all the spall of rounds that make it through.
Meanwhile, the T1E1 has some rounding on the turret corners, and a few perpendicular plates on the UFP around the machine gun port. If you’re aiming even remotely appropriately, neither of those will factor in.
That’s a funny way of trying to spin “Cannot overpressure like the Tiger I can”.
The high pen on the M82 shot is the principle advantage of the T1E1, however, due to a funny quirk, that extra pen doesn’t actually help all that much. There’s basically no common targets that M82 will go through that the 85mm or 88mm cannot. Armor takes quite a considerable jump in effective thickness around that BR, meaning 185mm just isn’t all that impressive. You can’t engage a Tiger II frontally, nor UFP a Panther, nor a T-44, nor a Centurion, etc etc. Pretty much the only thing it helps with is engaging Su-85M/100/French Jumbos at longer ranges.
The Russian 85mm has it effectively matched.
It is literally 0.1 seconds slower than every other 5.7 heavy reload, barring the Jumbo. It also has a ready rack of only 4 rounds, after which it reloads much slower (13 seconds on my non-aced crew).
By 2. Nice to have, and arguably one of the only consistently useful advantages it does have, but no way enough to offset the armor deficits.
A comfortable advantage, but not a game winning one.
32mm of pen with 38g of explosive mass is “good for light tanks”? For reference, the .50s will pen 31mm. Anything you can kill with the 37mm, you could more quickly kill by just spraying down with the .50s, usually from behind complete cover, and without having to alter your aim to the different ballistics of the 37mm.
Barrelling people with .50s? That’s not been a thing in quite a long time. You can indeed track people with the hull mounted .50s, but that requires sitting out in the open, exposing your weak hull armor, meaning it’s only useful against already crippled tanks that are completely unsupported. Nice to have, not a reason it should be comparable to the Tiger E.
Because, if the KV-220 is properly angled and with it’s turret facing the T1E1, it can only be penned through the mantlet (only destroying the gun), or in a small and easy to wiggle cupola. Meanwhile, this is what the KV-220 sees:

The number of battles and because mostly good players have it doesn’t support raising the B.R.

If it’s good enough for a 5.0 KDr it’s completely busted. As is the T58. I am no top 10 player, or competitive player, and I still manage a 4.22 KDr in the T58
Also Id suggest foldering the Pvkv IV to the Strv M/40L just because how bad the vehicle is, Togheter with the Br decrease
And for gods sake re-class it to a TD/Light tank since idk they thaught it makes sense for it to be a medium tank
So why you are using Starsharks ???
Said the cherrypicking master.
Dude if you suddenly have reading problems is not my problem.
BS. You ignore the worst stats and just show the higer for support you comepltely invaled arguement.
And??? You are suggesting moving up tank you never touched.
No, according tot he stats from thousand of players. Meanwhile you just have your bias.

Flagging the post in 3, 2, 1.
People why are you really keeping this thread moving, OP is a proven Russian main and you’re all just feeding his own biases :sob:

I love how you admit it’s better, without admitting it.
Also the 85mm is weaker than the 90mm. That extra pen does matter, it means it’s more effective in uptiers. Also, given that it is a 5.7 it’s overkill for 4.7 tanks.
I hate to break it to you, but you’re dead wrong there.
Even at 500 meters there is wonky spots the 90mm can pen, it may be spaghetti code armor, but penning a 70° angle is quite odd, on a 100mm plate, wouldn’t you agree?
Also angling, there is a lot of weakspots, pretty much all you can count on, while angling is the side armor… and if your really uncertain just hit the commanders hatch and kill the turret crew easily.
In summary, the T1E1(90) is better than 6.0 heavies in all but armor. Yet, since it’s American, it continues to be under br’d just like the T58.
Anti Russian ideology is so funny here, Russian heavies are typically overtired, while USA ones are under.
S-38b 1.7 > 1.3: it’s literally just the reserve version but with 2 MG-34s which only really help against planes. Against other boats they’re just about useless.
Is that a ground vehicle?
Pretty sure this is for ground vehicles

One thing I don’t agree with is the T-92 to 7.3. Sure, it’s pretty small and can be hard to see, but it’s not that fast compared with most other light tanks. Also, it suffered on city maps as the small size doesn’t really help when ur trying to go down a narrow street. Also, the heat-fs shell is inconsistent at best, the post-pen isn’t that great
You forget its pros though.
Pros:
- Low profile / good gun depression
- good selection of ammo
- mostly a black hole, that can even eat 122mms or 128mms if hit in the transmission.
- mobility on par with other light tanks
Out of the 7.0 light tanks, which there are few, it’s quite good. I never played it right when I played it, but I’ve seen a lot of people do really really good with it.
It does have some good pros, but it also needs good gameplay to get the most out of it, and it is absolute garbage when stock as it only has access to apcr.
