True, same with T-34-85 D5T from 5.3 to 5.0 and back to 5.3. But M26 should go back to 6.3, there are many better vehicles on 6.7.
In general, they should focus on sending higher vehicles that have HEAT shells, not normal tanks.
The same with howitzers, such as 2S1, 2S3M, M109 and others will cope with higher BRs.
It’s also funny that vehicles from the 1960s are on WW2 era.

They actually did massively nerf the APDS and the reload rate of the Comet.
Well, like the Comet, there were buffs and nerfs between those changes. Originally was 5.3 with the same turret armor as the 5.7 T-34-85, which was then nerfed to 53 mm all around, leading to the decrease. Then they reworked the visual model and armor model, which made the turret armor over 100 mm effective at the front. And so it went back to 5.3.
Then they dropped it back down ?
I think the reload rate nerf came before but if I recall right the APDS nerf showed up with the APDS changes when it was 5.7. In general the Comet’s APDS was easily the most nerfed APDS out of all of them. Mostly because it was overperforming massively before the APDS changes with the new calculator.

If you can’t deal with a large open-top SPAA, which has a gargantuan blindspot, then this applies:
Others have no issues destroying that vehicle, including me with my
I guess this is the same bullet as on the Centurions? Generally speaking, this is probably historically correct because the Comet probably had a shortened barrel, so it has a little less penetration.
I noticed these changes, the same in the T-50 whose armor was changed and reduced, but it seems that when I look at the game now, this d5t has better turret armor than the zis version, 120-300mm XD
skill issue
The 77 mm of the Comet (actually a 76.2 mm cannon) fires the exact same rounds as a 17 pounder. The difference is that the 77 mm uses casings that are far shorter and less powerful.
Previously, the 77 mm APDS was only slightly weaker than the 17 pounder’s APDS round, 220 mm vs 228 mm of 0 degree pen at 10 meters (keep in mind, early APDS rounds had far better slope modifiers back then). This is despite the fact there’s a nearly 200 m/s difference in muzzle velocity between these two rounds.

Dude, without radar and just firing a gun into the sky, its not easy to hit a plane. You’re either stalling out or flying in a straight or predictable path. Cope n seethe, brother. Cope n seethe.

Its not bad vehicle in any way but its not precise and its bullets arent as fast as 50 cal for some reason. It is kinda a 3.3 material.

Not easy to hit ww2 planes? How do all these spaas get kills in battles? XD
Come on, don’t talk nonsense, it’s possible, especially since you’re kind of forced to fly over a fairly small battlefield in ground battles, in the sense that you have to fly through this battlefield anyway.
Unless you like to fly and do nothing, or just fight planes.
These are not jets that fly across the battlefield in a fraction of a second.
Brother. It’s nearly impossible to directly hit a plane thats maneuvering unpredictably unless you have a goddamn flak cannon. What are you even talking about?

Have you seen how fast it kills on any hit from the HE belt? This is material for a higher br, similar situation to Ostwind, which for some reason they lowered.
Planes are not tanks. They are not meant to be hit. If you’re playing your aluminum airframe around surviving AA hits, you’re playing it completely wrong.

You have 4k battles, maybe you are just inexperienced, there are a lot of good spaas in this game and people use them to destroy planes. idk problem.
The point is that the sdkfz has a lot of firepower, it’s not the ostwind or spaa with a 40mm gun with a slow rate of fire.
Brother what? You sound like the inexperienced one, you expect your plane to survive aa hits.

No. Read what I wrote earlier.
No. Theres no logic in it at all. You’re crying about an AA killing you when you get hit. You should instead be trying to prevent yourself from getting hit, I.E. maneuver. I’m a war thunder player with a history of whining about some shit, but I have never seen something this ridiculous. You’re mad that you got killed after getting hit in a plane?? really?

No, I’m mad at this particular spaa that has 3x15mm with a HE belt and can spam around the sky and it only takes one hit to kill you.
I have no problem avoiding regular spaas.
That’s what I’ve always wanted in this discussion, from the very beginning, it’s not an ostwind or a wirbelwind firing short bursts that are easy to avoid.
