The tank struggle to deal with T-34 and KV tanks frontally, and due to low penetration, may have to put up multiple shots. The worst thing about this tank is that it only has 6 rounds and the APHE activation point is really long, so it more often than not take multiple shots to kill the M55.
Its velocity is very low, making it less effective.
It nicely deals with the Panzer IV F2, but that’s about the only tank it has an advantage in dispatching.
yeah but
its effectively a turretless bt-5 with a cannon that has sherman pen, kv-2 damage and spaa reload
the only thing that makes it dangerous is a good position otherwise it’s pretty easy to knock out
no, its a 120mm howitzer with an autoloader attached.
to offset this the whole crew is protected by 2 layers of wet paper napkins instead of the normal 1 layer, and their heads are half exposed. the thing is a glass cannon, extremely powerful while also being extremely weak, youre never gonna balance it because its one of the few vehicles with an extremely high skill floor and skill ceiling.
A while ago I got a triple kill on a Churchill a KV1 and a KV2 with it I don’t think it’s over tiered or BRd but it is a situational vehicle even with its high fire rate and decent mobility if you’re fighting a T34 from the front you were playing the wrong tank
It’s very situational. It can quickly delete early panzer 4 (first shot first kill with high possiblity) but it struggles against pziv H with track armor, Sherman’s, and T-34 and KV.
What I meant struggle isn’t that it cannot kill them, but may take follow up shots to kill them.
ya no, that sounds like you cant remember to aim for their left hand side of the turret. the t58 is much harder to kill because you gotta cripple the gun in one hit or you will die, the turms is the same thing, which leaves which one is easier to crit, a massively armoured heavy tank where thanks to volumetric armor and multiple overlapping plates makes the turret pretty much immune to everything at its br and below, leaving just a semi small 50mm plate right next to the gun being its only weak spot. or a tank whos thickets part of the turret is 30mm, and this isnt bringing up the fact all of its ammo is stored in one central spot thats easy to hit and its all in the turret on top of that.
if you think the turms is harder to kill then the t58, you need to take a nap because staying up for 2 days will make you say crazy things like that.
Uuuuhh no hull is same as m103 with a ammo carousel it go boom throw turret very easy overall t58 probably is the better vehicle better armor better reload but center mass shot for center mass shot hitting the t3 with any type of solid shot creates very low spall versus t58 but t3 can easily be killed with sap and HE heat is just inconsistent across the board
