Name a better 8.3 MBT. The Turm 3 is better than some 8.7 MBTs. Having a light armor profile is not some get out of jail card for a vehicle when every other factor is strong.

Lmao… what? Turm III is faster than most vehicles it will ever see.
Not only are you nitpicking, you’re also either not aware that it only goes 65 km/h or underestimating the speed of other vehicles. The ZA-35 can go up to 120 km/h. The T10M goes 50 km/h. The Turm III is far from a speed demon and most light tanks and gun SPAAs are just as fast if not faster.
I hope you didn’t just compare T-10M’s mobility with Turm III’s.
It’s pretty much in the higher end of mobility at it’s BR and only a select few will beat it in that.

“If we ignore all the light tanks, many SPAAs, and quite a few mediums then the Turm III is at the higher end of mobility.” My point was that the T-10M, a heavy goes 50 km/h versus the Turm IIIs 65 km/h.
It’s not that mobile, no matter how much you guys pretend it is.
For 8.3 it is very mobile.
But please do list some more mobile mediums at it’s BR.

“It’s really mobile, I swear bro. No don’t look at the Za-35 and many other rat and light vehicles at the BR. Bro please bro!”
It is mobile? Are you saying it isn’t?
It also has good firepower, an excellent reload, and a very good 30mm cannon. (That’s actually usable unlike the French 20mms).
As it stands it and the T58 should both be 8.7 at minimum.

I’m afraid he’s just trolling at this point.

“Someone disagrees, they’re clearly trolling. This vehicle that isn’t oppressive and is non existent at 9.3 in a full uptier already because it doesn’t perform there at all is OP and needs to go up!”

All that but it’s still clearly better than other 8.3 mediums.

how doesnt it though
also you still havent listed a better 8.3 medium tank
He will, once Gaijin actually adds a medium at 8.3 that’s better.
Both of these vehicles can be significantly raised in BR if respective old nerfs to HEAT, HESH, and APDS get lifted.
HEAT postpen spall was made horrifically inconsistent in 1.67 to protect the then-new IS-6 from swarms of M46s using the then-recently-historically-corrected M348 shell to slaughter them en masse.
HESH postpen was made inconsistent and now nonexistent in 1.71 once people switched from HEAT to HESH to kill the IS-6, and it was found that the Centurion Mk10 and Vickers Mk1 were really good at it (then also 7.0 like the IS-6 was).
APDS also was quite strong back then, which had postpen comparable to solid APCBC, and consistently too.
If you undo those old bullshit nerfs, the T58 will immediately become 9.0 worthy, possibly higher still.
As for the Turm 3, those same rebuffs will certainly help, but in addition those, why not make its coaxial gun a 50/50 mix of APHE and APDS? Easy 9.0+ material there using assets the game already has. Note: I am just as much in favor of enhancing ammo selection on other nations’ 20-30mm coaxial guns like those on the French which are stuck using useless HVAP despite the APDS already existing ingame.
T58 + HESH is a broken combination.
APDS is still quite strong, especially L7 one.
Only because of overpressure - when test-driving it and intentionally aiming at places where overpressure couldn’t be a factor, the HESH was just as weak as every other HESH.
Everything prior to L7 is very much not. Look at the Conqueror. Or the Bulldogs/T92/17-pdr/20-pdr. Utterly destroyed via “Shell Shattered” after years of repeated postpen nerfs.
Germany has an argentinian tank without stabilizer at 8.7 and 4.0secs reload. why couldn’t the T58 go to 8.7/9.0 if it’s basically the game but better.
i mean yeah, it has gen 2 thermals at 8.7 and laser rangefinder, but thermals aren’t extremely necessary at that BR and LRF is only useful for long range maps with a lot of space like deserts.
So it is still an issue.
But Turm III is using L7 one.
