take CAS
It has a 20 second reload when aced (26 stock). I’m sure you can manage.

We definitely do NOT need Tiger Is, Panthers and 76mm Shermans facing IS-3s again… (Shermans still do, but at least only in full uptiers).
Agree with other changes, though.
Seems a bit like he does though.
I love how the Object279 just keeps chilling at 9.0 harvesting all the tech-tree vehicles.
It’s got maus syndrome.
Yeah, but unlike Maus, 279 keeps donking enemies even in full-uptiers. I’m not complaining, though. I use it more than any other vehicle. No one can tell me with a straight face that the Object775 is worth .3 more than 279.
I think the variety of tanks it faces vs the tanks the maus faces are two different bids tho
And not Tiger II? Based on stats, it has better in RB unless the only thing we take into consideration is W/R.

Conqueror having worse stats and getting uptiered while IS-6 with better stats is getting downtier?

By your logic, 279 should be way higher than T-72A, right? And that’s with 279 being pulled up to 9.3-9.7-10.0 more often than not.

It’s almost like… there are more factors at play than just stats.
Mud slinging aside. Does Gaijin even consider such topics as this? Or are you just here to try pass the time? I think Gaijin knows what they’re doing, or they think they do, and they’re set in their ways. They have their little algorithm and we’ll get BR changes when they come. They typically only listen to the community when they get mass backlash over one of their proposed changes.
Just a hope they’ll consider it

I’d blame compression, most 9.0s just whoop asses if anything, not exactly an object 279 thing
Imo I find it pretty mid to spawn in 120sp, recent br change that moved some 10.0s up to 10.3s does make it slightly more viable in an uptier, but I still prefer the Chieftain MK10, XM803 or M60TTS if the game throw me into 9.7s or 10.0, gun limited by the terrain pattern sucks big time but that’s RU vehicle for everyone, the FCS just isn’t made for 9.3.

I think I’ve seen the mods/staff take notice of some topics, but that seems more like they just randomly come across something they think might be a good idea and decide to pass it alone on their own initiative. I’ve a feeling if a mod comes to this topic it won’t be for that.
You can doesn’t mean it can’t be a pain to fight. Not necessarily saying you are wrong though since your not.
Some of these make sense in practice, however the IS-6 is a menace especially with the new round it got awhile back. Cent Mk.10 and Conqueror suffer outright from mobility, anyone who’s flanking will easily destroy them.
I am the same person who thinks no non-jumbo Sherman should be above 5.3 however :)
Though I must ask, why the Luchs to 8.0, I haven’t seen many driving it, so I don’t know why it’d need to go up because I don’t know much about it.

FCS isn’t an issue with 279. Yes, no laser rangefinder. Yes, no thermals. But with its playstyle it isn’t a big deal. You want to be all up in the enemies face. If you come across a map that is actually a long-range slug fest for once, then you just bring BMP3. I never had an issue with 279 when it faced what is now the 10.3s, the worst part was your own teammates (often one-death-leavers in Turms, who didn’t know what they were doing). Yeah, maybe leave the 279 at 9.0, I’d rather not have those teammates again.

IS-3? it can make you really rich if you choose to track/barrel torture it lol since it takes a long time to hit back and you can “stun lock” it by repeatedly breaking the barrel and track before it can do anything, by rich I mean you activate boosters, keep on machine gunning it to score more hit points, when no one interfere you easily score 600-800 mission points if you can torture it for 2 minutes straight, keep bagging the money
