Rejoice people! The T 58 is moving up to 8.7! A deserved BR increase no doubt but how did the Turm 3 escape this round of BR changes again?
Cuz TURM III is Gaijin’s cash cow that all the German mains buy
at the end of 2024 gaijin did a post about the year and the turm 3 was the most common tank to be spawned in a match. i imagine 2025 and now 2026 are going to be the exact same.
just like SAV it just prints money endlessly.

The difference is in the skill floors.
The T58’s very trollish armor and forgiving firepower means that it takes little to no skill to do well in it. Take the BMPT as the extreme example of what I’m talking about. Even a player with limited experience can just hold W and fire at targets they see, and they can manage somewhat decent results.
Meanwhile, the skill floor of the TURM is much higher. It has no consistent survivability, meaning players who just charge in blindly will typically just die. It’s only more skilled players, who can use it’s excellent mobility and position appropriately who get absurd results out of it.
The fact that the T58 is moving up while the TURM isn’t indicates that Gaijin likely balances based off global stats, rather than using any sort of normalization. By this I mean, since there are more bad players than good players, tanks that don’t require much skill to do well in will have inflated stats over a vehicle that may be even stronger, but requires more skill to get the most out of it.

this is really obvious with the chieftain mk10 and 900 moving to 9.3 and the F-15 moving to 12.7 btw
