It’s not. It has continued to increase and increase in kills per spawn, kills per death. It dominates like it always has. 9.3 won’t hurt it. I use it at 9.3.
I’m saying it should go to 8.7, because it should be .3 below Object435 and the others. You cherry-picked the one OP 9.0 that shouldn’t even be 9.0, the Object279.
obj279 is already mid when it gets front penned by everything in a full downtier. this you complaining about 2s38? maybe try giving feedback once you learn to play
Not really. Uptiers would be insanely rough though.
The issue with old event vehicles as the 279, is that they are mostly played by veteran players who are much more skilled at the game, hence the stats go up or people call it overpowered.
You lot make me laugh. It’s not about being able not be penned. 279 has a lot more going for it than that. It’s still highly survivable when penned, it is highly mobile (can actually reverse, too), has a lovely 130mm APHE, has nice reload on said 130mm. And for all you heroes going on about how easy it is to pen. I have the entire USSR tree ground out, if I thought it was in a bad place at 9.0, it wouldn’t be my most played tank.
Considering it had only 65k battles in July, I don’t think it’s only uncommon. For example, many vehicles around it’s BR had 0.5 - 1m battles during the same period.
If you take only major nations from 8.7 to 9.3, Object 279 is 35th most played vehicle out of 40 in total. I think that speaks volumes.
aphe and reverse speed are the only things going for it lmao. plays more like a medium than a heavy. dont get me wrong its a pretty decent tank just not god tier op like some people claim it is. if you actually have as many games in it as you claim you would know this
By actually having a balance team that thinks about balance changes. The reason bmd4 stood so low in br was bc of its horrid players which lowered the stats. Any sensible person could look at the bmd4 and say “wow this thing is better than the begleitpanzer it should be higher in br”. Or look at the j7d and go “wow this thing gets to fight flareless planes while being better than the mig21 bis (arguably)” but no. They dont wanna spend time actually thinking it out so they just look at the player stats. and unsuprisingly prem vehicles have bad players which keep them low in br
Somehow I cannot imagine still the KV2 with such a low reload, same with T30. Lets see how it unfolds on the battlefield.
And if the Tiger P gets less power it should be downtiered to 6.3 again as it completely vanishes the main advantage point of the Tiger II Ps compared to other nations
i dont care about your “realistic” mode which is basically cas simulator in disguise. i checked your profile, i do better with the 279 in ab with capped 3 respawns than you do in rb. so btfo lmfao
