The main problems the black prince suffer from won’t change regardless of BR (mobility and CAS).
It can do well if you don’t get bombed. Which is quite often unfortunately.

It has strong armour and APDS at 6.0 its still good, just slow as hell, its got better protection than the centurion for the most part

The APDS is crap…

Some smarta** at Gaijin decided to turn it into APCR 2.0…

I mean a tank with the same exact armor fights 3.7s.

APDS wasn’t turned into APCR 2.0.
It was buffed prior to 2019 and buffed again in 2023. APDS has not been nerfed since I started playing War Thunder.
Over 2:1 KDR, which is my average for all heavy tanks.
Its gun is also seen at 3.3 on superior platforms of tanks.

Thats why it could go down to 5.7
Other than penetration (that is wonky and bad damage after pen) it has nothing to offer

No… that’s why it has to stay 6.0.
Otherwise you might as well make Tiger E 5.7 again along with down-tiering other heavies.
Black Prince has a lol-pen round easily capable of one-shotting most tanks it comes across.
Except that lol pen round likes to bounce off or do no damage after pen
Vehicles like dicker max and waffentrager lolpen too (with great post pen) so what?

It actually is at “5.7” now. Remember when Gaijin in one of the decompression waves moved a lot of vehicles one BR step up, from 5.7 to 6.0, 5.3 to 5.7, etc? :)
Its 6.0
That logic sucks.

Bounces are aim issues.
No damage is also an aim issue.
Weird of your post to imply that Dicker Max is a 6.0 heavy tank.
If you’re one step ahead and everything below you moves one step up, are you still one step ahead?
I didnt make such a claim?
Not everything moved.
Meant to type imply.
Pretty much all the “bad boys” did. The rest are not much of an concern to the BP. There’s no reason to move it down. It’s OK where it is now…
No, its not. It suffers at 6.0
The only thing it has going for it is APDS and it doesnt justify the 6.0 br
Swedes got a great apds at 1.0 which could easily be much higher and that I actually used at 10.0 and killed quite a few vehicles
Black prince is just too slow while also being very vulnerable

After nearly 1900 battles over many years in this vehicle I dare to say it’s fine where it is now…
actual skill issue. 17pdr APDS is pretty damn good if you’re a good shot, its not a lazy cheap kill like APHE
