Sophistry.
Hard stats and capability is what matters.
If you’re taking hard stats then the T-55s beat the Leopard A1A1 by every metric but mobility and gun depression both of which aren’t unbeatably better especially mobility and become situational at best.
The A1A1 also beats it on penetration, reload and optics.
Mobility is the main advantage, lol.
Yes that’s what I said.
Penetration is debatable reload is negligible optics is not something that is against situational at best.
Reload is not negligible, it is one of the largest advantages you can have in war thunder, after mobility and survivability.
It is only notable when using tanks that can’t penetrate / using HEAT-FS or other inconsistent rounds / ATGMs
APFSDS first shot should be a kill, if you your first shot doesn’t disable or kill the enemy you are dead.
A fast reload will save you from a mistake that shouldn’t have been made if the enemy is equally bad.
against AMD armour… yeah its lacking.
against leopard 1 armour… bruh you can pen the side in some places with HMG.

Leopard is better in every way except armour and rangefinding

Nope, i mean that mobility is the main advantage in game.

yeah sorry seems i was mistaken.
The T-55s have good forward mobility due to their acceleration. The only thing they are missing is reverse speed which isn’t a necessary feature when assaulting a position if you have capable armor.
Ehm… And leopards have way better one due to more PtW ratio. Additionaly Leo has way better turret rotation.
Eh, no. T-55 have enough weak spots (and it actually can be penetrated by almost anyone from any range at this br). And well… Even with good armor (this is not the case) having bad reverse speed can be compensated only by really ultimate armor (not the case).

You’re just strawmanning or moving the goal posts every time you’re presented with hard facts.
Just accept that your statement was wrong and move on.

The goal post is there you’re in another stadium mate.
You’re talking about weakspots like that balanced out a tank
A Jumbo has a weakspot but it’s 6.3
Whole T-55 is a weakspot lol.

The same can be said for the Leopard.
