You mean the VK 3002, Panther D, VK 45.01, T-34-85 (D-5T) and many more that can pen it frontally without the issue?
So You are going to angle Your turret like that in Jumbo and wait for enemy to shoot? Hell, you are giving me a free frag much easier than I thought.

So yet again, Panthers can pen Jumbo even when angled by shooting its turret ring without an issue. Then again, why it should stay at 5.7?
I hate to break it to you but any vehicle can be penned by another vehicle at any BR.
If a vehicle was immune to all damage frontally it would be overpowered, unless its gun was so piss poor that it couldn’t return fire.
The problem is that when it comes to Jumbo, then at 5.3 it would fight vechicles that are as dangerous to him as he is dangerous to them.
Jumbo can be destroyed frontally by 2.0 vechicles without an issue (for 4.3 there is no problem). When it comes to other vechicles, then it is not as easy.
I can kill a MAUS with the Archer that doesn’t really mean much.
You mean frontally by shooting a weak spot that can be eaisly shoot at not done by setting it on fire or making a bounce?
“The problem right now is it’s faced against the 6.7 vehicles which weren’t moved up because if they were moved up with this update to 7.0 they’d log jam the already horrific log jam that was made at 7.7 because the 8.3 vehicles can’t go up because of the atrocious log jam at 9.3 because the 10.3 vehicles can’t go up because the 11.7 vehicles are the max BR bracket”
Yes the current 6.7 uptiers are unbalanced, once the 6.7 tanks have been moved up the Jumbo will be fine
All the other old 5.7 tanks are suffering at 6.0 right now against US 6.7, eventually they’ll fix it
The Panther has the same weakspot if you were unaware, your APCR round will go straight through
Not really. The Jumbo is the only problematic here.
VK and Panther D don’t have MG port, and then relying only on APCR which won’t detonate the tank (when going thru turret) as there is no ammo there is not reliable.
VK has less armor
Has horrific turret rotation
You don’t have to only rely on APCR, they do need to rely on shooting your weakspot from the front
And greater gun, against Jumbo it works
Same as above.
They really don’t if they know what they are doing. As again, angling a tank like You have shown only works in really certain situations, then it still can be penned without an issue.
Jumbo is the one needing to rely on APCR/Weakspots in order to defeat tanks that are on lower B.R. than him.

If you don’t want to play asymmetrical battles then you don’t want to play War Thunder.
There’s nothing about the Jumbo that stops working at 5.7 besides uptiers to 6.7, the 6.7 vehicles are gonna be moved up after further decompression updates.
Your complaining about it facing the vehicles it faced prior.
There’s no justification for a lower BR.
What do asymmetrical battle have to do with Jumbo being on wrong B.R.?
There is nothing that stops Jumbo from being the same on 5.3 as it was before, just making it meet enemies that are on pair with it.

Its gun stops working at 5.7.
All of the previous 5.7 tanks moved to 6.0 minus the Panther D.
It’s now facing the exact same tanks it was facing previously only in full uptiers is it facing new threats.
I recommend you submit a bug report if you can’t fire your gun.
Try to fight 6.0 enemies with gun that has ballistics of mortar. When your armor works only on distance.
