It still does not change the fact that it would be unplayable.
Good luck penetrating a T-34, or even a Sherman with APCR.
Even if it pens, the gamage is just awful.
At least advocate for APDS. That thing at least has less speed drop, and has better angle performance, so you will be able to pen angled armor…
With that gun, it would be just a slower Panzer 4. It would be better that wth other gun, but again, just play a Panzer 4. it is faster, better armor, and the same gun.
Slower ? He is sure ?
It is faster and better armored than the PzIV.
And once again I will repeat!
We already have a 5.0 with 100mm of armor using this gun, and it performs well.
Imagine a Tiger I engine, carrying 10 tons less.
This is a VK3601
I am in a different discussion about the VK 3001, and i was mistaken, i though i was on that forum.
Yes, you are right.
However, i would like to oint out, that you are talking about a KV-1. That KV-1 is just better armored, than the Tiger 1.
Vith the VK’s armor, the problem is the very weak side, turret, and cupola armor. You can angle a Tiger, but you just can’t angle this VK in way to make the front effective, while the side being effective too.
80mm turret front, with a Panther style mantlet is just bad. It is flat, and the mantlet is effective 70-75mm, since it is probably cast armor, and not a black hole mess, like on the Tiger.
50mm cupola? Yes, soviet 45mm go brrrrrrrrrr.
Maybe this works fine in 4.7 do you think?
i would say 4.3. It would be a good 4.3, and a usable 4.7
+1 gib!!!
I’m not holding my breath, but if the devs took the time to model APCNR correctly I’d be pleasantly surprised. It’d add some spice to the German tech tree instead of your typical ‘APCBC-HE go brrrr’
Why dont you copy this over to the real suggestion part?
i will do it, thanks mate
You may copy my post and mention me or link it to save some time. 7,5/5,5 cm Pak 41 KwK 41 or Waffe 0725
I tried to post in the suggestions tab, but I couldn’t.
If you are a native English speaker, could you do this?
I mean i can do one, but not copy yours thats pagarism.
I agree. I think it would be a good “training wheels” tiger so people aren’t jumping straight from a panzer III
The pz3 ausf. L with the squeeze bore got passed to developers. If this gets added chances are better for this to get added
I confess that I’m already tired of this suggestion.
I’ve been fighting for him on the forum since 2015
Several issues.
1, extremely weak cupola, that will be penned by literally everything. Get ready to be 1shotted by Swedish 40mm SAP.
2, Horrible turret design: 80mm mantlet, that is 80mm (75mm effective if it is cast), with 80mm, likely RHA frame. Most 3.3 and higher will just LOLpen it even at distance.
You can’t ange it, because of the shit angled side-front plate (unknown thickness, but even if it is 80mm, it would still prevent any angling.
3, Bad hull. 100mm at 4.0 and higher for a heavy tank is laughable, if we take the horrible turret into account. This is not the only issue. You can angle a KV-1 very well, since the front is 100mm, and the side is 75mm (instead of 60 here), or even 100mm at some places.
4, likely bad mobility. It has 0.1 HP/t less, that the Tiger H1. While the max speed looks good, it will likely stuggle to reach it even in arcade, with almost double engine power.
Add the 4.16 km/h reverse speed, and get a functionally useless tank.
The gun is going to be good, no matter if it is a medium or the long 75mm.
Basically, it would be just inferior to a KV-1B, or even to a normal KV-1 L-11. I’d say BR 4.3 at max, but more likely 4.0.
No, i think its rolled into shape like the Pz IIIs gun mantlet.
I’m going to laugh my ass off since aside from the cupola and the forward speed you just described the M6A1.
