VFW overpowered tank?

image
Do you think the VFW is too overpowered compared to other vehicles? This vehicle doesn’t even seem to fear HE shells or machine gun fire, and it fires every 4 seconds with extremely high penetration. Even after half of the crew is knocked out, it can still continue firing without any problems.

No.

Fix?

1 HE round to the vehicle

No way. With cobra king JUMBO need 5x HE

Where are you hitting it?? If you shoot the gun shield it almost always instakills it??

Tbf my experience is using the Pvkan m/43 on the Strv m/42 DT and Strv 74.

But ik i can knockout the thing with the HE on the M3 75mm on the Sherman III/IV

I’m hitting the gun shield and other weak spots, but it still often survives or keeps firing even after losing crew

Or the system that shows what has been knocked out is broken, and it can’t really be trusted.

That vehicle is 99% gun.

No mobility nor armor.

I can assure you, both .50cal and HE shells absolutely obliterate it

And no gun depression whatsoever, with gun shield being as wide as sherman.

Have you tried hitting it?

not really ive rarely seen it but when you shoot it with HE it seems to vaporize like the M10 at 3.3 if it doesnt then it is op but if it does then no

Plane does yatatata and nullifies its op-ness completely

every open top ever except the SAV

literally the entire crew (besides driver and a useless mg gunner) is completely exposed to the elements.
1 single HE round will do, you can also just mg them.

This is a cope post

you should not be struggling to kill something that is so incredibly well armoured

It’s similar to the M44. They absorb way more hits/damage than they should.

APHE should wipe out half the vehicle. But no - they have it pass through and barely hit anything.
But if u use APHE on tank cupola, it’s a nuke.

Gaijin gives light-armored vehicles a wee bit too much immunity as their components absorb a disproportionate amount of the energy from hits.

And yeah, it’s undertiered - has almost the punch of a Tiger 2 with 4 sec reload. Waffrentrager has similar gun, similar armor, less crew and more than double the reload.

Should be 6.0+

That’s overpen I bet, the tank doesn’t have enough armour for the shell to fuze

Waffentraeger has a lower profile and actually better protection.
You just have some insane skill issue to consider a tank that literally has nothing but a single plate covering the front of the “turret” as armour overpowered in a battlerating where everyone and their mother can just spacebar it to death

And there it is … the default argument. SKILL ISSUE. LOL. have a nice day.

it literally is skill issue

Has nothing to do with it. but keep on trying. Like I said. have a nice day.

And to that jack-ass… there was no mention of RGB in subject or OP post.

VFW has in Arcade…
61.2% win rate (7th OVERALL while Germany has a 47.7% WR at 5.7)
2.90 kills per spawn (14th OVERALL) (2nd for rank 3)

There’s a reason why “skill issue” is the default argument.
Literally 90% of this game’s complaints are due to skill issue. This is a perfect example.
How do you struggle to kill a tank that doesn’t even have paper as armour?

I suggest putting on your critical thinking cap instead of your coping cap and tell me how you struggling to kill a tank with fully exposed crew is nothing but skill issue?

Compared to the waffentrager, either one is undertiered, or the other is overtiered.

I also find it a bit annoying to kill, but I wouldn’t call it massively OP (tho I wouldn’t complain about it going up too).

You just sneeze on it.
Its only upsides are that the gun shield doesn’t make aphe rounds fuze properly or make solid shot rounds spall fully (if they can even create decent spall normally)
As well as long 88 with fast reload.

Everything else is a significant downside .

Big and clunky, not really the most mobile, armour is a pipe dream, the size makes it perfect food for planes and literally anything can mg it to death or drop a HE round in the general area
