I’ve read some of you guys’s comments and I totally didn’t notice. I put 5.0 I meant to say 5.3 but yeah I meant 5.3 or again just make decompression a little bit better if you keep it at 5.7 because it is still a beast or like you guys said when the new tanks arrive and battle rating go up then the tiger 2 will be 7.0
+1 yes and tell me which one you agree on
-1 no and tell me what you don’t agree on
Thank y’all for the comments.
germany gets the long 75mm on the panzer 4 from 3.7 and that carries all the way to Tiger with ease (I use them at 4.3 and 4.7 a lot as of late and do just as well as in a firefly) and the USSR simply does not struggle at all against anything.
Bushes are another can of worms but im perfectly fine with heavy tanks actually being able to play the heavy tank role.
Heavy tanks such as a Churchill, jumbo or KV ought to soak shells from most angles and be formidable foes, so many heavy tanks are pretty much useless because they get put to BRs where their armour isnt special and they mobility is too far behind to be worthy only the KV-1 family enjoys such a pleasure right now and its a shame.
the MG port is a perfect balancer of a weak spot for the jumbo being pretty obvious and learned from facing the Sherman with incredibly weak guns at the lower BRs.
Those very weak guns can still take out a jumbo in the exact same way they took out the plight of BR Shermans in the rather compressed 2.0-3.7 BR range so a player worth their salt will still know how to punch through, but this time they can probably bouce the m3 canons shell if they position right.
The panther also just lolpens them from half a kilometre, not fair at all. They are only so high because tiger mains have a major skill issue, ill die on that hill any day
rich considering you admit to struggling to shoot out barrels
Waiting for decompression before moving the BR of really any of the mid tier heavy tanks is the best bet.
The (unfortunate) truth is Gaijin takes statistics from spaded vehicles and like 55% of dedicated Jumbo players I see run loads of bushes which seeps into the statistics. A lot of the small ratty TDs are at their BRs because of the existence of bushes.
Sweaty tryhards be sweaty tryhards that statpad to try and claim superiority over newer players instead of being a team player, we see it on this forum all the time and you know when someone is a statpadder in games from how they play.
Even with tryhards and sealclubbers boosting the stats substancially the performance of the jumbo is quite poor, even when you keep in mind that america ground players are just as bad (if not worse nowadays) as the reputation german mains have.
yea it certainly helps them. at least they are kept high enough that there isnt more trees full of rather absurdly powerful guns TDs all at the same low BR like we suffer from with sweden and their sweatlord players.
I am NOT a sweatlord I can assure you that
Not all. but sweden sure is infested with a lot of sealclubbers and tryhards and i dont just mean the annual SAV spam incident
Well when they all start wiggling when they miss their shot :)) kinda hard to hit the machine gun port.
The “Annual SAV spam incident.” That rolls of the tongue well.
not hard to hit it when you play right.
Want to test that Theory?
You mean the Jumbo?
In a 1v1 I’d prefer the jumbo but I still like the tiger cuz it’s better than the jumbo against other tanks, it has great pen and post pen damage, and is a beast when played right
Just move 5.7 to 6.7 up one BR and leave the Jumbo at 5.7 🥱
5.0 is excessive but youre js spitting stuff out atp with the “most 6.7 vehicles cant pen it frontally”
most 6.0 and above can UFP it
Cupola? Can literally pen the turret cheeks? Also even angled you can go for the seam or the lower plate where the tracks are unless it’s hull down.
Spading Japan at 5.7 and 6.3 currently. Tigers are super easy to kill, Jumbos slightly less so, Russian tanks are volumetric hell.
I agree 5.0 would be too low.
US has M4A2 (76) W and M36. Add the Jumbo to that lineup and it’s decent.
Your suggested lineup of 5.7-6.0 has the Jumbo possibly facing 7.0 tanks where it’s M3 Cannon would be quite anemic. And many opponents would be 6.7 (Tiger 2).
Considering 75% of the battles are uptiers you almost need to. Unless Gaijin changes the BR spread from 3 steps down to 2, tanks like the Jumbo will suffer as they face too many enemies that nullify the entire reason for it’s existence - the armor.
Is that any worse than 5.7 tanks facing Tiger 2 or T26E5?
Ok… my friend is a long 88 enjoyer. He can’t pen jumbos, do I justkinda assumed most 6.7 vehicles couldn’t
i think there is a seperate issue there
Oh yeah jumbo has like 115mm of armor equivalent…WTF is he doing
