Okay, so the T32E1 is way to high in br. It is currently at the br rating of 7.7
Why I think that it should lower to 7.3 and move the t32 at 7.0:
-It faces t-55s, helis, ATGMS, and cold war vehicle’s why too often.
-Its absurd that it faces 8.7 vehicles
-Its a slow heavy tank with a long reload, bad side armor and it doesn’t fair well in up tiers
You also might say if it is lowered to 7.3 it could POTENTIALY engage 6.3 vehicles (which is highly unlikely since it will mostly be facing 6.7 vehicles. But it the T32E1 has horrible side armor unlike the soviet and German tanks at the same br so flanking is a good option. Than you also might say “well its almost impossible to pen it at the front”, true but that is the only pros of having a heavy tank.
You may be thinking well the Maus, E-100, T-10A, IS-4M and IS-6 has the same problem. True but it all those tanks has more armor than the T32E1, particularly at the SIDE.
Another way that you can solve this is to have those tanks at the 7.7 br range not fight 8.7 by decompressing the br.
at 7.3 the T32E1 would still see the T55A as its 8.3
No 6.3 tank can reliably face off against the T32E1 due to the improved armour on it.
8.7 vehicles while strong are still weak to the T32E1’s fantastic APHE.
Lasty in a full uptier to 8.7 you should really be using hte T32A 1 as a back up .
T10A has worse armour overall though especially frontally.
Maus has more armour but is immobile af and pretty useless out with, IS4M is roughly on par frontally yet T32E1 has higher firepower.
So generally the 7.7 heavies really should not move down, At all.
Like if the T32E1 goes to 7.3 and the T32 to 7.0 what are 6.0s gonna do against it?
how is a T32 equal to a T29? its not its better.
I agree, the long 90 just doesn’t cut it above 8.0. It’s sides are thin and easily overpressureable. 7.3 would be fine cus there’s heat slingers at 6.3 that can kill it easily.
I can invest in a 401k, wait a bit, then retire before the gun reloads. Sure the gun has good HE filler, but the fact that you have a geriatric reload means that you can’t be frontline. Also the gun is lacking, APDS and HEAT-FS are commonplace, with fast reloads.
I was front lining in it last night in a full uptier.
While not ideal at all its reloads not that bad , though my crews are mostly over level 100
Agree apds negates a lot of the armour on the T32E1 hull, but when you are in a full uptier when apds is common then you shouldn’t be spawning a t32 unless necessary.
I use it in a 7.7 lineup and have a near 2.0 kd with it since i started using it.
(Btw most 90mm heat it can encounter isn’t very good)
It’s such a mediocre gun for 7.7, that `mid penetration with such a long reload just kills it for me.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it should be moved down in BR. It’s just another prime example of a heavy tank that suffers from severe BR compression in this game.
I mean in comparisson to the other heavies of its BR, T32E1 though is a bit more refined than say, T10A whcih while having a stab for 20kmph or so, also has a worse reload, worse depression, protection etc etc.
I personally think the gun for a 7.7 heavy . is pretty good
I also have a 2 KD in it. The “Well, I did well in it” argument doesn’t work in War Thunder because you can do well with anything if you’re a good player. I would rather up tier the Jumbo Pershing because the same weakspots apply, but the reload is much much faster.
That is BS, all those tanks has so much more side armor (except the m103). If you read my topic i already said they have so much more side amor. Any tank from with atlease 100mm of pen can kill the t32e1 but with the IS-4M and MAUS, it takes more pen.
