False. I have several nukes using the 75mm EBR in full uptiers to 6.3. It has an extremely high fire rate with tons of utility. Raw Penetration isn’t everything on a gun. Even for the slower Jumbo 75, the gun is still excellent at handling opponents if you can aim properly.
Standard HEAT shells are not good at 8.0. They might be workable, but HEAT-FS and APDS are better in most ways. The 105mm HEAT shells fired by the AMX-30 have little post penetration damage and reward good aim and punish those who don’t know tank internals by heart.
M4A1 is one of the best tanks at 3.3.
The 75mm Jumbo is at 5.7 because of its stupid thick armor and solid mobility. It is not the gun itself that makes a vehicle; it is all aspects. Stop trying to balance off of one piece of a vehicle. You cannot look at a gun alone in a vaccum and dictate if a vehicle is good or not.
Not sure why people assume that playing lower BRs = always facing noobs. There’s tons of clans and players with 70%+ efficiency and win rates that play at lower BRs.
A noob can straight up buy a 11.3 premium and jump straight into the high ranks as well.
Because it does. The lower you go, the higher the concentration of lower skill players exist. It’s really simple to understand. Level doesn’t necessarily dictate skill either. A person might be a high level without ever improving at the game.
As an example, I can comfortably play 6.7 games and constantly drop nukes running a 100+ degree fever with a migraine while sleep deprived. I’ve done it many times.
You could stick the M-51 at 4.0 and it’d be better balanced than being at 6.0. Why?
Tanks at that BR spread can already pen each other easily and most TDs are overkill for the job. Armor isn’t as much of a factor like at 6.7-7.0 where a lot of tanks rely on it solely to survive. A KT, IS-3, or T26E5 is worse off than any light tank if you get rid of its only advantage.
“M-51 is at 6.0 not because it has a fantastic gun, but it’s a bad platform. It’s the other way around, AMX-30 is at 8.0, because it’s a very good platform too strong for 6,0, even though the gun is bad at 8.0.”
The advantage of the tank destroyer is also cheap price, not just firepower. Video games lead you to believe that tank destroyers always have superior firepower, when it’s not always the case. Although even in War Thunder TDs have a lower spawn points cost.
Stug 3 doesn’t have superior firepower over a Panzer 4, but it’s cheaper, because it doesn’t have a turret. Stug 3 was actually made for infantry support.
Yes… in an EBR. M4A1 will not be good at 6.3.
I used Leopard 1 and DF 105 in the same lineup and I know you’re lying.
Everyone at 8.0 should know tank internals by heart, it’s not that hard. Everyone should know on which side the gunner and driver sits or if the tank is an MBT and has an ammorack next to the driver.
Yes, I never said it’s bad. You can’t read.
Jumbo 75 is a platform upgrade over M4A1, M4A3E8 is also mostly a gun upgrade over M4A1 and a cast hull, M-51 is a platform downgrade and a gun upgrade over M4A1.
The value Jumbo brings makes it go up from 3.3 to 5.7, the value M4A3E8 brings makes it go up from 3.3 to 5.7 and the value M-51 brings with it’s gun should make it go up from 3.3 to 8.0. What’s so hard to understand.
The whole argument is that I think the M-51’s gun is of much higher value than you think.
Let me rephrase it, because you clearly can’t read.
M4A1 is at 3.3 not because it’s a tank, that is a bad platform for a good gun. It’s a normal well rounded tank. It’s the other way around, Jumbo 75 is at 5.7, because it’s a very good platform too strong for 3.3, even though the gun is bad at 5.7.
I’ll do the same, because You clearly can’t think.
“M-51 is at 6.0 not because it’s a tank, that is a bad platform for a good gun. It’s a normal well rounded tank. It’s the other way around, AMX-30 is at 8.0, because it’s a very good platform too strong for 6.0, even though the gun is bad at 8.0.”
Not to mention other things AMX-30 gets over M-51, like 20mm
No, M-51 is not a normal well rounded tank XD. You yourself said it’s a glass cannon. To actually correctly apply my sentence to M-51 you would need to say it like this.
M4A3E8 is at 5.7 not because it’s a tank, that is a bad platform for a good gun. It’s a normal well rounded tank. It’s the other way around, M-51 should be at 8.0, because it has a very good gun too strong for 6.0, even though the platform is bad at 8.0.
Thanks for proving the point that M-51 should stay at 6.0.
No, nothing like that.
More like this:
"M-51 is at 6.0 because it’s a tank, that is a bad platform for a good gun. AMX-30 is at 8.0, because it’s a very good platform too strong for 6.0, even though the gun is bad at 8.0.”
