Also people here complaining about the APFSDS, use the APCBC, its more than capable of oneshoting 90% of the tanks you fight from 7.3 downtiers to 9.3 upteirs on the front. There’s a handful of tanks that would need you to swap to APDS or APFSDS. Those would be the Maus (frontal engagement), Conqerour, Chieftan (if its hulldown), and Ho-ri production.
it’s also capable of bouncing off of 90% of the tanks you fight.
I’d rather recommend sticking with the APFSDS, 3BM25 is fine for 8.3/8.7

You never heard of “shatter”
What?
Everyone who has touched top tier should know that 60 degrees pen is more important that 0 degrees pen.
Stats wise, I think you spend a lot more time having to wait in the respawn screen than you spend waiting to reload though.
No? You aim for the parts that aren’t as angled if you aren’t confident. Plus 15mm more at 60 degrees is a lot less of an impact at 8.3-9.3 in comparison to 60mm at 0 degrees.
What does that have to do with preferring to knock out enemy tanks rather than alerting enemies to my position, wasting ammo, and having to wait to reload?
That you are doing any of those things anyway. Some of the stuff you said here just proves that you spend more time in the respawn menu than actually aiming.
Seriously, you stated earlier that people should aim for the 279 breech, which is notoriously one of the strongest point of the tank with only the machine gun port being pennable for rounds like DM23.
“Where else do you shoot a obj 279 or a chieftain that is hull down?”
“The barrel/breech, or don’t shoot.”
Aphe is the most potent shell type in game…
Yea, it happensnto everyone
Stabilized MBTs start at 8.3 unless you are a wallet warrior and buy the To-55
You gotta remember that these are just simple farmers… the common clay of the new west…
not at this high of a BR unless you enjoy getting randomly screwed by higher ricochet and volumetric chance
t55 aphe is incredibly strong still at this BR
Of course, Type 69 isn’t a main battle tank at battle rating 8.0 (realistic battles) with two-axis stabilization.
On God you can go even further if you remember that Centurion is a main battle tank, the earliest far from what I know main battle tank with two-axis stabilization is the Centurion Mk. 2 at battle rating 6.7;
Talking about stabilized tanks facing WW2, the problem isn’t the vehicle itself, is Gaijin forcing WW2 tanks at a higher battle rating.
It should’ve stopped at battle rating 6.7, but no: that one vehicle battle rating 1.7 higher than my T34 Heavy Tank should not go lower in battle rating, which it’s impossible to me have a match with or against said vehicle.
Is there any battle rating 7.0 WW2 tank? Except post-war prototypes and the Gaijin wonder weapons? I’ve looked into the tech tree at realistic battles battle rating and if the T-55A were battle rsting 8.0 it would never face a WW2.

How did you know that was going to happen, you really had to say it.

I forgor about this one, it should also be 8.3
yah but this is well known and its obvious why they are lower, it is their niche to be below the bell curve for stabilizers, thats a given
its common sense I think if you are decent at the game to know these two have overperformed for years
Type 69 has some shitty apfsds that’s why it’s 8.0. T-55a is fine at 8.3 IMO.
Lol no, T-62M is 9.0 and it’s much better than the T-55am. T-55am is absolutely balanced at 8.7, Type-69G could also go back to to 8.7
Doesn’t really matter, does it? The game doesn’t work like this. T-55AM was too good because of its tendency to be downtiered into easy 7.7-8.7 games. It was once 8.3, and this was even worse.
