The ones that do exist. It doesn’t help your point to say it’s a dead zone but we should move the 4H to it either.
This is false. They are sidegrades at best with most skilled players saying (including myself) that the Shermans are the best of the 3 early tier big nation mediums, those being the t-34, pz4, m4
And what 4.3’s are those? Churchill NA75? Same gun as the 75 Sherman, but no stab. AMX-13 (FL-11)? Same ammo as the 75 Sherman (identical performance), but no stab. KV-1S? Chi-Nu II? Probably your only comparison here.
Yes, and you’d still have the numerous Pz IV’s from the start of the tree to the end of tier II. Honestly, it should look something like:
F2: 3.3
G and J: 3.7
H: 4.0 (avoids that blackhole of constant uptiers)
Looks sensible to me, though ngl, I would consider moving the J to 3.3 too, because the targeting speed greatly limits you in terms of playstyle. It’s a TD with medium tank spawn cost.
It’s only 1 peg difference and the H has the L48 gun + an extra mg that helps vs open-topped targets (plus the already mentioned side-skirts that defend against HEAT)
Would not make sense to have them on exact same BR.
You need to back-read more before you respond to a post more than a month later.
I was responding to the bullets below…
“And you apparently lack the understanding that size and weight hardly makes a difference, if the tank has the space for it.”
“You can’t turn the turret and look for targets at the same time.”
“Every time you spot a target from the hatch or periscopes there’s a delay of moving to the gun controls.”
All those points you listed out are for it’s BR, sure it can hold its own at higher BRs but it doesn’t mean it should be higher. Do you really expect it to be on par with the T-34 57 at 4.7 or even the Panthers and Tiger E at 6.0?
At 4.7 it’s gonna be
Average gun
Average ammo
Garbage armor
Garbage mobility
Low profile
Will die or get crippled if touched by anything.
At 6.0 it’s gonna be
Bad gun
Bad ammo
No armor
Garbage mobility
Small profile
It’s a stellar sniping tank though. Very punchy round and good velocity.
I prefer the shermans, but I have had a pretty good time playing them. I agree they are fine where they are at - though they could perform well at slightly higher BRs just fine. That said, I think new players being forced to play them there wouldn’t fare well and they should stay where they are.
