I was checking out the planned BR changes, and I see that the T26E5 will be moving up to 7.0, it cant kill a king tiger frontally, and is essentially the same vehicle as the M26 just with more armor, there is NO reason why this should be moved up, as it was just fine where it was before

the t26 can kill a tiger fronatlly tho? Besides it is pretty similair in performance to it so i guess it should be the same br as the tiger 2
i dont really play arcade so i can’t say accuretly if this is good or no

just barely with apcr, most people do not use apcr let alone know it exists due to it being pulverized by gaijin. Its like how the IS-2 and king tiger are on the same level in gaijins eyes, what makes the T26E5 better then the both of them that it has to go up in br
cant you just shoot the mantlet?
unless in arcade it doesn’t work idk, as i said i don’t really play that mode
This thing was one of the strongest vehicles at 6.7, so I don’t see a reason to not move it up.

I’ve fragged over a dozen Tiger 2s frontally with the T-26E5, with most being an ammo rack.
I do exclusively use the APCR round which I started using in late 2019 on other tanks using the gun after hearing news of its buff occurring a year or so prior.
And learning to aim for ammo with APCR was a nice learning experience.
Especially since this is an arcade change, where you’re told where to aim.

Wrong stats.
This is arcade.

This is an Arcade change, not realistic.
Oh… guess illl still have to face this thing on the Tiger H1s which can’t even tickle anywhere on it frontally while it can one-tap them on fully angled positions, I guess xD
The tank shouldn’t face 8.0s either though. Just yet another living example of the sort of evils compression lead to.
This tank is too strong against 5.7s, yet underwhelming against 8.0s.
That change is for arcade only, thankfully.

but its only moving in arcade?

they have to know where to shoot it frontally, so it has to move up. I wonder if it will get ammo to match tiger 2…betting no.
mantlet, machinegun port, commanders hatch, gun.
Limiting frontal capabilities is a way to nerf a tank. Short 90 is still better than the long ones in reload, which can give far better flanking kill rates and mistake tolerances
i find it weird that tiger II stays at 6.7 while T26E5 which only have good armor the gun is not good against other compare to tiger II
leave the T26E5 at 6.7 i don’t understand why they change it.
this tank from battle pass have T29 gun at 6.7 br with good turret armor
This is for Arcade btw. The tiger 2 is also at 7.0 in arcade.
If this was in realistic, then I’d have an issue with it unless all other 6.7 (except for the IS2) goes up as well

Not event the lfp? Damn.
This was a monster to 5.7s - 6.7 in fat it was unfair.
7.0 is what is deserves.
Also It’s 90mm APCR can frontally pen a Maus… so you can kill a Tiger Ii

You can use APHE on the gun sight with the 90mm M3 it’s only 150mm
