it got up BR’ed because its firepower was too strong for 10.3 in the first place.

it is literally just back to its relative position before the last BR changes, because everything else went up but the 279 didn’t.
Just don’t spawn it in a full uptier (like ANY heavy tank). There is a reason you can make whole lineups instead of just playing a singular tank.
It isn’t balanced against 7.7 in any sense either, yet Obj279 abusers never said anything about that. curious.

And nobody says anything about the TURM III abusers. Every tank between 8.0 and 9.0 shouldn’t see anything 1 BR lower than it OR higher than it. The only way to fix this is a higher BR cap but that wont happen for a while.

Plenty of people say it, but it’s a premium that sales well.

Just like the Vidar.

And XM-1

And the A-10 early

And the a-6e

Ect ect

The 279 is an event vehicle. It was wayyyyy to good for its BR, it got to stomp for awhile.

6.7 france is really good right now, and should get even better with increased amount of easy to kill tigers, panthers and is-2s

At 8.7 it was fine. Now when it came out at 8.3 that was a absolute joke. but at 8.7 it was fine, yeah in a down BR it would stomp but in an up BR it wouldn’t work too well, like most tanks, and the people who complain about how “its armor is too good” just simply don’t know how to shoot at it, like most later Russian MBTs.

Once again just shifting the compression. You need to increase max BR.

This literally fixes nothing. All you are doing is moving the insane compression a BR higher.

It was too much, now it will slightly stomp in a downtier. It’s not like it’s gonna see M1s or leopard 2s.

I can’t count how many times I’ve seen those things get 7 or 8 kills then leave after one death.

The issue with the current BR cap of 11.7 (for tanks) is that past 7.0 everything is WAY to compressed. Mainly 7.7-9.7. Look at the early T-54s/T55s or the Leo 1. If there was , for example, a max BR of 15.0 it would push all the better vehicles, BVM, Leo 2a6, Pantsir, up and let them not see lower BR tanks, thus making the lower end vehicles have some breathing room to play.

Same can be said for all premium tanks that first come out.

Yeah, they remain undertiered as long as they sell.

Then the undertiered vehicle that gets 7-8 kills easily goes up in BR.

So then what about the F16C in ground RB? Should it go up since it can get 8 kills easy? What about over BR vehicles like the Type 93?

I am very confused why these additional changes were added on. The original list already had very questionable changes like the IS-2 1944 increase, but these new changes are even more bad changes no one asked for.

The 75mm Jumbo was already ruined at 5.3. Some high pen tanks like the Panther being uptiered was the only hope the Jumbo had of being competitive again. It should be going back to 5.0, not up.

The KV-220 and Object 279 should not be going up. While these tanks are strong, they sit in a very precarious place where they will very quickly struggle when uptiered. Both are going to very quickly start facing guns that can pen them easily very often.

If the intention is to decompress, that would be good but it needs to be much more uniform to work. It will not work if only a few select tanks are “decompressed” and it’s not done up to high tiers.

TBH It seems like you are the one who couldn’t cope about the 279 being 8.7 because your US or German tanks couldn’t pen it because you don’t know how to aim. Everyone I’ve talked to who says the 279 is OP wont EVER look at other vehicles that should either be straight up removed or moved down to a BR where they would work fine because, “you literally don’t care about balance”. Which is horse shit.

To me it seems like people are just angry about the ONE tank that can challenge their US, German, UK early MBTs and refuse to learn how to penetrate it. They same thing is wrong with the Maus at 7.7. It should be 8.0 or higher but it CAN’T be because of its lack of modern shells/features, in the case of the 279 its the lack of composite armor,

THANKS JAPAN NO LONGER HAS A 8.7 LINE UP AND NOW HAS A SINGLE 9.7 VEHICLE





Where’s Japan’s compensation? Where gaijian

Ok, yeah. The 279 was the only vehicle that could vehicle in the Russian line up that could challenge any non Russian vehicle.

And moving it up after it stomped for so long killed it. Learn to cope, it’s ok to admit your crutch got a little weaker.

I might have overstated it. iii Much better where its used aggressively and doesn’t see any heavy tank/t-34 where normal rounds dont cut it or when you dont get artyd. I feel like both should be lowered since iii lack that gun power for their br even if it make ups in other ways and is more like medium than a 3.3 or 3.0 td. and yes im aware iv turret traverse is M10 levels and M10 is way better td just due to gun power that outclasses iv in its role in everyway but sneaky depression tactics. Like i wrote i think pkvk iii should go down too and my main issue is lack of consistency with changes overall. if you remove apds iv easily can go down way below iii.

I guess like Italian M42 now being same br as Wirbel is better example of gaijin stupid moves for low tier. M26 is obvious one for mid tier. Not moving some panthers while moving others is up there too. Same issue with changes for Ki-49s Yer-2s Pe-2s tigers list is getting pretty long.

So you admit that the 279 was the only thing that could challenge other nations? So you are saying that YOU need the one vehicle that was good to move up so YOU can continue stomping? Point proven then
