Why is it the M44 tank destoyer with its stats almost kills everything with 1 shot where the german m55 which has better stats cant seem to kill anything. Seems like a bit of a joke. Not sure what gaijin was doing here. The m55 by all metrics should outperform the m44

Should and it’s outperforming, however I think regarding explosive penetration there’s a limitation factor, you see, there are only 4 mm of explosive penetration from a 155 mm cannon to a 203 mm, so is 17 mm of explosive penetration from a 203 mm cannon to a 380 mm cannon, which doesn’t matter much, above 4 kilograms of TNT equivalent you can, most of the time, overpressure any target.

I can’t believe the m44 is still at BR 4.0
- Very mobile 56 fwd/15 rev
- 5 crew giving it decent survivability
- .50 cal mg
- Howitzer can 1-tap even heavies at 5.7+
- Better optics (4.1x-8.0x) than anything it will meet in battle - basically using m41 optics which is 6.0/6.3.
I’m really surprised it has not been re-evaluated for BR rating based on how many I’ve seen and how well they do in battles.
Should be 4.7 or even 5.0
