Move the jumbo down a little or Churchill or Kv-1e up

Do you guys think it would be kind of cool to see the Jumbo matched more often against tanks like KV-1 variants, and maybe Churchills too?

I feel like the Jumbo vs KV-1 matchup especially would be a lot of fun. They’re both big, heavily armored brawlers that can take a ton of hits, but neither one is great at dealing damage unless you know the weak spots. Those fights usually turn into slower, more tactical brawls where positioning, angling, and patience actually matter.

Churchills are a bit different since they’re unbelievably slow, unless there’s a variant in the British tech tree with a better engine that I’m forgetting. Because of that, they’d probably be easier for a Jumbo to deal with. KV-1s, on the other hand, feel like a perfect fit. If I’m remembering right, the KV-1 can still threaten the Jumbo through weak spots like the machine-gun port, though I could be wrong. Either way, it seems like a fun, thematic matchup between tanks that are known more for surviving than deleting each other.

What do you guys think? Would seeing more of these heavy-armor brawler matchups be kind of cool, or do you think it wouldn’t play out that well?

Jumbo has better armour and more mobility than either of these tanks. 5.7 is definitely too much (maybe 5.0 or 5.3)

kv-1e at 5.0+ just becomes pointless

M4A3E2 was added at lower battle rating, if I’m not wrong same battle rating which Churchill VII sits at today’s (battle rating 4.7), as @FlyingOstridge pointed correctly, it has better mobility, yet being the same caliber, ammunition selection is different (which is also part of the balancing feature made by Gaijin such as suspended weapons for airplanes, reload time of guns for vessels and so for ground vehicles), it was reported that 75 mm and other british cannons with same americans’ caliber can load and operated american ammunition such like the M61 APCBC with explosive filler. Churchill VII and KV-1E shares rather low firepower compared to the M4A3E2, so mobility, specially for the Churchill VII, I have a high doubt that those will ever go further than battle rating 4.7.
