I asked you which anecdotes.
Please quote where I said that the M1 does not have lower penetration values compared to other 10.7s.
I’ll take that as a concession that you can’t, because I know I never said that. I’ve stipulated dozens of times by now, as others have, that vehicles are the sum of their parts and have different areas where they have advantages or disadvantages.
You’re just attacking strawmen.

I’ll take that to say you don’t want to admit that you have repeatedly said the 774 round is fine as is, as is the tank, because of the sum of its parts, when I have emphatically said that the gameplay experience is not fine, and you don’t want to swallow your own pride, punk.
Better to stop wasting your time on him, man. He’s trying to get your thread locked. Don’t give him what he wants. Better to throw flagrantly dishonest creatures like him on ignore and be done with it.
I have said the round is fine. That is not the same as saying that “the M1’s gun isn’t underpowered in comparison to its competition”.
Even with hordes of T-series tanks that they can take, M1 is still keeping it’s WR above 50% and have pretty good K/D, according to this chart.
You can look at stats from months before.
Gaijin acting on something literally means it’s not in a balanced state.

Gaijin doesn’t have reason to act because they are fine with US players suffering in top tier. They’ve repeatedly revealed that when challenged. We’re on month 11 now of the turret ring being acknowledged after 4 years of asking why we were dying to SPAA and light tank autocannons through the turret ring.
You will pardon me if I find the slowness of the snail to be a f*cking joke.
You will also pardon me if I’ve already pointed out the 774 round is ahistorical, and the 833 round is on parity with the contemporaries around it.

Ah so it’s just that gaijin is discriminating against US players, that’s it. The data from the data project is likewise discriminating against US players by showing higher performance statistics than germany and russia at the BR.
I vividly remember the devblog where they repeatedly revealed that they simply hate US players after being challenged on it.
Excellent.

laughs I vividly remember that whenever they find some new obscure detail that buffs the USSR, they’re rather quick to improve said vehicles.
Sadly can’t say the same of USA, Britain, China, Japan, or France, even though those nations’ players have gone all out in showing their reasoning.

Well the bad news for you is if you’re right and gaijin just hates US players, you’re never going to see any changes anyways so all of this is in vain.
Shucks.
Indeed. So many bug reports go unanswered or outright rejected. Remember; The M735 got castrated off of some utter nonsense that was pointed out to be nonsense and here we are after all this time where it’s still utterly castrated.
HESH is still utter garbage. HE still bad. Man, I could go on but like you said; Gaijin doesn’t care. They will do whatever they want and claim " balance ". It’s all just a giant joke that was never funny to begin with.
It’s more that you cannot figure out simple stuff. Tank’s armor isn’t just a single plate, so in order to get a full picture you have to consider every part of the armor profile, which you conveniently haven’t done and fixate on a single part that suits your narrative.
DM23 is better than M774, but 5s is better than 6s. Looks like they’re trading blows and firepower remains pretty equal.
And this is why tanks aren’t judged by what they can do while stock. Stock tank performances are lacking but it is a subject for another thread.
Or you kill a single crew member and get killed in return, which will happen if you don’t aim properly.
Anything that comes around a corner will expose it’s idler wheel and at that point it’s game over. That is, if you take a split second to aim, of course.
Ah yeah, good old bias.
I guess them leaving vehicles like T-64A or SU-22M3 in their sorry states for years is a definite proof of bias.

Stop quoting armor when you and I both know round deformation isn’t a thing in War Thunder.

Meanwhile top tier US got reload buff faster than Arietes or Merkavas, all with a dedicated article from Gaijin. Must be US bias.
Historical accuracy isn’t strictly followed in this game, which is pretty obvious why. People have already told you that.
And what does that have to do with the fact 2A4 has worse armor profile than M1 in this game ?

Arietes literally just got a reload buff, and Merkavas. Try again.
And don’t start with me about ‘isn’t strictly followed’ when it’s consistently brought up in the context of buffs for certain lines, and ignored in others ‘for balance’.
And don’t start with me about armor when you tried to sneeringly say “It’s not just one plate” when you and I both know damn good and f*cking well that NERA armor cannot be properly modeled, and neither can sabots.
If they could, you’d all be having very different results every single time, because sabots especially wouldn’t be staying in one piece while entering crew compartments.
So shut up with the constant admonishments as though you’re all so damn smart with the folks who ask for 833 or for other ‘buffs’ as you put it. Is that a fair deal to you?

I was wondering this too. Makes me feel like a crazy person when I read something so entirely unrelated to what you said. Uncanny.

They’ve been struggling for much, much longer than US top tier, but only when US started struggling and players started complaining Gaijin reacted and went with the reload buff, alongside that article they usually don’t make.
But that is what happens.
Shells alongside reload speed are known things Gaijin likes to give/take in order to balance a vehicle, without changing their BR. Their date of introduction or historical accuracy is not that important.
I’m talking about what happens in game, real life performances aren’t something I’m discussing here. So again, in the game as it is right now, 2A4 has worse armor profile than M1.
And it is patently ridiculous.
They shouldn’t have needed to complain in the first place.
When we all say the same thing, the company should say, "Oh, right, let’s change that and see how it shakes out.
They should want to create strong line-ups that are comparable.
When they don’t, that falls on their heads and the heads of people like yourself who defend their actions with the asinine “It’s a game and it’s balance” excuse.
A real example right now is the 6.7-7.0 area.
Everyone, and I do mean everyone, in the major nations has a strong, comparable line there.
Why this seemingly escaped the company after they achieved modern tanks, is obvious. They wanted historical accuracy, but balance. And many players didn’t want shells added that could be added to lower BRs and not get to use them.
Funny enough, Russia has gotten the bulk of those. Hence why I mention the cracked 10.3-10.7 situation.

Why are you arguing about line-ups again? That’s has nothing to do with this topic and is a separate discussion. The topic is not “The US at 10.7 do not have as large of a line-up as the USSR, can we finally get more vehicles?”.
