The question is how often do you get such results.
Plus lets not forget about 35mm aphe spaags which are available from start, cost 70sp and also have a chance of erasing whole team. And even faster than any plane we have in game.
With that RBT quite often actually, On maps with a linear layout just aim the rockets for the first point everyone on the other side is rushing, Nuke 1-2 open tops and boom you got a free Pe-8.
250kg rockets go brrr.
One of the most brain dead combo’s to grind event points with.
Fastest plane i ever got was with the Sturmtiger on Berlin, Got a Ju-288 in like 30 seconds of the round starting by lobbing a shell from spawn to spawn and nailing 3 M18’s.
Now, completely ignoring the absurdity of telling someone to A) Flank in a heavy tank, or B) Attack a KT headon with a 75mm Jumbo, there is literally nothing you can do about a KT in a Jumbo at long range. The fact that yall act as if KT v.s Jumbo is even slightly balanced is honestly hilarious.
CAS exist to level the playing field in uptiers v.s downtiers, and it does so very well.
You were technically right on one thing though, a barrel shot can* be used to destroy a KT.
Most brain dead combo might be your enemies because how on earth would they lose with .50 cal and stabs to bt5 (even with bombs). US players are that hopeless lol.
Its across the map usually up and over buildings where they would have no line of sight, Not entirely sure how they are supposed to counter that.

If bombs get them before they can do anything then rbt5 is that good. Otherwise they could just check corners and use ears to detect any rat activity
Thanks for proving my point, you really are bad at the game.
Thanks for showing that You are just misleading.
If Jumbo 75 could fight Tiger II H on equal footing then they would be at the same B.R., it is normal that Jumbo 75 being at 5.7 have to use some brain to be able to destroy Tiger II H, this is how B.R. works.
Edit: I belive there isn’t anything inappropriate in shwoing how things really are in game

You should aim at barrel tip / muzzle brake so its guaranteed barrel knockout.
Also tigers got 80mm of side armor with little angle. 75mm cannon pens that even from 500m
Its medium tank with extra armor plates labeled as heavy tank. Its as fast as earlier shermans. Labels often are misleading. Look at any atgm carrier, 2s38 or bmpt. Neither of them is spg or light tank. 2s38 is spaag, bmpt is tank support vehicle and atgm carriers are atgm carrier (last one is actually mentioned in game but icon is spg one still)

No1 has perfect aim, and even if they did it’s still not guaranteed. There’s a pretty good chance of your shell just going inside the KT’s barrel and disappearing. Not to mention, any amount of distance makes the shot completely impractical, even when arcade’s assist.
Bear in mind, KT can hit ANYWHERE on your turret/hull and kill you, and doesn’t have a bad sight or bad ballistics.
Maybe on flat ground it can reach same top speed as regular, Sherman (not that a Sherman was fast to begin with), however on any slope or rough terrain it’s pretty average for a heavy tank.
Again, if a heavy tank needs to flank just to have a very small chance at killing an enemy, (an enemy that can lolpen it wherever btw) then it just isn’t a good tank.
This is why CAS is so useful for balancing. It allows weak tanks likes these to be backed-up.
Its not just max speed, hp/ton ratio is identical with m4a4 for example.
This applies to every heavy tank in uptier. There will always be something that will obliterate you.

It is always nice to see that people who want to talk about balance are still figuring out what B.R. system is

Every other heavy tank I can think of can atleast frontally pen the tanks it faces in an uptier. Even the T26E5.
The Jumbo is simply weak, and unless you expect people to just quit the match any time it’s not a full downtier, CAS is a great solution to help with balance.
Simple - Increase CAS spawn point requirements.!
Still far too easy to get revenge bombed/sniped by a 1 kill 1 cap 1 death person.! all because that person didn’t look around and spot the enemy in a good position.!
OR
Remove the location Kill cam!

Nuh uh, maus is completely unpenetratable for t26e5 besides few pixels that you realistically wont hit. So barrel - side shot strat also works here. Except you have no stab.
Nevermind, it got apcr which can penetrate its cheeks actually. But you will have to swap from aphe to apcr to do that in first place. Not to mention the damage which is really horrid if compared to aphe
The T26E5’s APCR is consistent enough to be worth taking in uptiers, Jumbo can’t say the same.
If you play uptiers slow, this shouldn’t be too much of a hinderence. The T26E5’s reload is pretty fast.
Regardless, this is starting away from my main point that CAS aids weak tanks. The Jumbo is very weak in uptiers, the T26E5 isn’t. Heck, you’re realistically gonna get more kills in a T26E5 than in the strongest 6.7 CAS plane.
Flanking on maps the size of one city block isn’t a task, and nobody said to try to face it head on that’s why you break a barrel. I also like that you have the arcade battle marker to say it doesn’t work instead of firing at it and posting the result. CAS doesn’t level a playing field it just makes its own

Sorry just noticed this and hey look it does work Pangolin
Also thanks to this guy for also actually showing the results
It is when the map is too small to even have flank routes.
They were saying the short stop stab would allow you to shoot its barrel before it shoots you. This implies they expect you to get in situations where both tanks are facing each other and whoever shoots first wins. In other words, attacking it head-on.
Especially this pile of stinky garbage.
The middle is just no mans land, The north team has a thin strip in the northern edge that they could flank from, But even that is super easy to keep locked down, Every game on this layout is just a camp fest until planes obliterate everyone.
Possibly the worst map layout in the history of maps, Thankfully i don’t see it that much lately.
