Im specifically talking about the magach 1 and 2. Im completely lost at this BR. Before this my highest br tank was 6.0 and even then the gameplay was still the same like the lower BRs. Ive unlocked HEAT- FS on both tanks and went over protection analysis over the tanks i struggle against (mainly the T-55 series of tanks) but i still find it hard to go up against them.
Im also confused if im supposed to play very passively with the pattons because each time i try to gain ground i get completely destroyed by anything on the other side of the ridge.
I hear that the Pattons or Magachs are just average tanks so surely i have massive skill issue here and i have no clue how to fix
M48 to M60s or Magach are average tanks. Just about anything you face can pen you, even those equipped with ERA.
The Magach 5 has a great round once you unlock it, but it just can’t take any real hits, and seems to suffer breach hits all the time. It’s a tank that just doesn’t inspire me to push at all.
Edit: I will say the Magach 6A isn’t bad. Decent armor, fast enough and the APDS round is good. Wish it had a stabilizer though.
I also think they are absolute dogshit especially the ones at 7.7, but don’t downplay the HEATFS, they can damage anything without composite armor even soviet heavy tanks ain’t safe from it, only the ones that have stabilizers are becoming decent. USA has them at 8.3 and Israel at 8.7s which leveling the playing field.
