I think it’s fine that they do that of putting chains or armor on the tanks, but if it’s something that almost none of them have, the least they should do is leave it as an unlockable module. Another example would also be the M-60A3 TTS, which is in the American tech tree has the ERA installed, armor that was only used in a few and as a test, so the logical thing would have been to give it the ERA armor as an unlockable, and thus give the option of being able to use the M60A3 TTS as it was used in reality.

even after then engine correction they still do really well so probably not, theres also no way in hell 5.3 tanks should see a tiger 2

While sure, Tiger II P has amazing firepower and powerful UFP, its turret is massive weakness. Most 5.3 tanks can pen the turret face of Tiger II P. 76mm Shermans firing M61 can do it up to 1km, provided they land a hit.
6.7 (or the theoretical 6.3) heavy tank that can be frontpenned by 5.3 mediums through what should be the strongest armor found on tank doesnt exactly scream “OP”.

with the volumetric armour its a bit trolly, 17pdr APCBC is a bit hit and miss from random angles being super thick randomly. either way its one single small weakspot which is almost fully negated by not staying still. dont think its still a fair fight

I personally havent run into any issues with 17pndr firing the Mk.8 shot; it was only the production turret Tiger II that requires sabots to go through, and maybe if i ran into the prototype turret Tiger II at some odd angles. But god forbid a heavy tank whole BR higher requires some tactic on my part to be disabled.
Sure, but that only works at certain distance - at CQB ranges such as advancement to the rhine, it doesnt matter if the shot connects instantly.
The weak turret face also prevents the Tiger II P from playing hull down style.
Dont get me wrong, Im not saying Tiger II P should be at 6.3, im just trying to point out that it isnt exactly black and white balancing decision when it comes to this particular tank.
It is simply a victim of compression.
It pays a very hefty mobility price for very unreliable armour compared even just to its cousins at the same BR. Turret armour is more important than hull armour as you say, so it’s not the best camper either.
What’s left is the gun, which is godly. An experienced player can make it work by not being hit period. But competitive wise - which is what the BR system is for - it’s currently unjustifiable both at 6.3 (too low) and at 6.7 (too high). It will find a happy place eventually when there’s another major round of decompression. Most competitive 6.7s will go up together and it will stay where it is.

Tiger P with that weak turret is a waste. The much better H has the same BR. Why should I play the P with less than 100mm turret armor?
But thanks for updating the model :)
