also, you can fire on the move pretty reliably, I’ve killed a bunch of tanks on a snap shot on the move, with the HEAT
-
secondly, you have a lot more “anecdotal evidence” than I do. You can literally go look at my past games.
lastly the T58 has:
- a 2.6 sec reload FOR A 155mm gun
- Superior HEAT given its HE mass and pen
- 40° turret traverse, aka top tier mbt levels
- A quick ready rack reload, if you leave 1 round in the chamber.
- 406mm turret collar with the whole tank being volumetric hell that will bounce most rounds other than well placed HEAT/FS, or APFSDS.
- Its mobility isn’t as bad as people let on, it reaches max speed quite quickly due to its great acceleration.
- it has a rangefinder, tanks rarely get these, unless they are 9.0 or higher.
- great survivability, even on penetrating hits, it usually takes 3-4 hits to be fully knocked out due to the gun eating a lot of spall, and the crew being quite spaced out.
- sound is much quieter since they reused the m60 sounds, which have been very quiet for years.
- high camera placement, meaning you can peek over a lot of things and not be seen.
- roof mounted .50cal with its magic “1 hit, and they’ll light up!” Rounds which most of the time you only have to hit an aircraft once and it’s on fire.
- Often eats whole arty rounds with no problem, from things such as the Type 99.
- commander override
This tank also fits into the most broken 8.3 lineup in game. (No im not saying it belongs at 8.3, it will live at 9.0 just fine).
If I missed any I’ll add them to this again. But tell me what tanks at 8.3. Have even similar capability?
Pretty much the only downside is its reverse speed. That’s it.
Oh wait, all the people that say the T-series is over powered… are the same people saying the T-58 is under powered for 9.0
Irony, a whole lot of irony.
Funny how two tanks in similar prowess, and similar age of completion, the obj.279, and T58. Yet there is a 0.7 br gap between them. Strange, almost sounds like USA BIAS or Gaijin favoritism?
