Heat (fs) in WW2 era

The tiger was 100% designed to take hits from and kill t34s. It was in tiger crew training keep the enemy in certain positions relative to their tank. If I remember correctly it was called the death clover. That is literally what heavy tanks were for. They have this thing on them called armor and they have it for a reason.

What tanks are you complaining about exactly

Translation: " I want to be able to do very well with zero skill and be invincible".

Just learn how to play the video game and the Tiger 1 has strong armor. The Tiger 2 even more so. Both of them are some of the strongest vehicles at their battle rating and to suggest a buff to them, even indirectly, is ridiculous.

Tiger I and Tiger II are just fine, Im a mediocre player and preform great in both, sure does HEAT-FS get annoying? yeah. but ive learned to just live and learn from wt deaths. In a perfect world i would love to get 20+ sherman kills but thats just unfair to the worse vehicles.

This is why giving shovel isn’t a good idea… 1 year and half…

Any tank who has HEAT-FS and is forced into a WWII scenario by Gaijin. Simple, isn’t it?

Nonsense. The development of heavy tanks (the DW1 and DW2 breakthrough tanks) began in 1935, long before the invasion of the Soviet Union, when no one in Germany was yet aware of the existence of the T-34.
When the KV-1, KV-2 and, shortly afterwards, the T-34 were encountered, orders for the Tiger (DW 2) were placed immediately without completing the planned testing.

So you just want to make a ton of vehicles that are balanced at their BRs, bad, because muh ww2 tank got penned? Simple, isn’t it?

No. I want

  • “balancing” to mean that it’s fair

  • “realistic mode” to mean that it’s realistic

No one’s stopping you from waging a war with World War II tanks. Apparently, that’s even possible in real life. But facing opponents from the future in the Second World War has more to do with science fiction and time machines than with any claim to offer something realistic.

Unfortunately, not everyone seems capable of grasping that.

So you want special matchmaking tailored to your tastes, that also happens to invalidate 100+ vehicles

No. I want matchmaking like it was when I started playing this game. Back then, there was no time machine to pit me against technology thirty years ahead of its time, whether as an opponent or a partner. When the Gun Tank came into play for the Germans, I didn’t play it for a long time because of that, although you could have understood that back then because there were so few of these vehicles on all sides and nobody could build a standalone deck with them, but nowadays? I stand by it: that’s BS.

I started in 2017 and HEAT vehicles and APDS vehicles have always been at lower BRs since then. I even remember UK slapping everybody around with two plane stabilizers and apds at 6.7, the same BR as Tiger 2, for many years.

i think they should raise a few of them like the M50 at 6.7 → 7.3 as that pretty busted Pt76 should get stock heat and raised to
5.3 → 6.0 as a 5.0 second reload and is crazy and the M36 B2 should also be 5.7 → 6.0

m50 is not 7.3 material. It isn’t even strong for 6.7, just a niche vehicle. PT-76B also isn’t overpowered at 5.3, same with M36B2

the M50 is kinda OP you can hold a corner and just spam your 6 rounds when they push the M36 B2 is basically a panzer IV H at its tier it can kill most 6.7 in 2 shots after disabling the first

Naming one situation it does well in does not make something overpowered

M36B2 is not overpowered

HEAT vehicles are unpleasant to play and unplesant to play against. I’d remove all the heat shells up to 8.0 from the game and adjust BRs accordingly.
Like they did not that long ago with Ikv 103. Good job there - now extrapolate it further.

M46 is 7.0 with same round as the jackson definitely not op

BMPT is only OP hull down but thats only one situation so it should obviously go down

heat vehicles can be very fun they have spall similar to solid shot with the pen of APDS and can guarntee set off ammo if hit and they carry there pen with range better than any round at range
