“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
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.
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.
“I want good frontal armor and a gun which can penetrate heavily armored targets at long range”.
Then never fear, as at 6.7 the Americans get their post WW2 tanks which were designed to do just that.
The Jumbo was designed as an assault tank, it’s not meant to snipe. It’s not meant to tango with a JagPanther. If you are interested in playing the 5.7 bracket it is necessary to understand vehicles and their purpose.
The vehicle which will fulfill the task you wish to perform is the M36B2. The Jumbo was not designed to do what you want it to do.
No. Jumbo have poor gun so it must rely on armor but having weakspots for fair fight. But now jumbo can’t rely on armor. So poor gun + mediocre armor + not good mobility = useless tank.
There are two nations which used this philosophy in their design. Germany and Russia. If you do not wish to play through the American tanks until they tried this design philosophy then your only option is to try one of those two nations.
