So where they should sit at if they’re significantly too low at 8.7 ?
You can safely set them to 9.0 first and then see what happens.
For my part, I feel +0.3 matches are no different than full downtier matches.
From BR 9.7. you notice that the armor no longer provides reliable protection. So it happens in a way that the Germans, for example, don’t know any other way up until the Leo 2A7. But then both tanks are still agile enough to keep up well.
The poor penetration of the cannon is either compensated for by the rocket ammunition or by the simply insufficient armor of the opponents in the BRs.
They have no reason to be above Shot Kal Gimel or at the same BR as M60 TTS.
ATGMs are simply inferior to darts in most situations.

The T-62 is certainly a member of the weaker 8.7s. You have fast, forgiving vehicles with LRFs and competitive darts on one side, and those lacking those advantages on the other (T-62, M60 RISE, Chieftains, Object 435).
The weaker ones all share some common characteristics. They’re slow to mediocre in terms of speed at a BR where mobility becomes the new meta. They have armor that nominally seems decent, but put against rounds that trivialize it every game. Their firepower is unimpressive, and they lack the LRF that would allow them to be competitive at a distance where their armor would work.
They don’t nessesarily need to move down, but they shouldn’t be at the same BR as their notably superior BR-mates. As always, decompression is the answer.

Since when? This is not a common belief.
If the T-55s get the M1000A1 equivalents then I believe they can be moved up to 9.0, do you think the current T-55AM and T-62M1 is equal? for me the T-62M1 is a direct upgrade to the T-55AM after they fixed the optical zoom level, armor profile nearly identical as both has two composite plates at the turret cheek and one extra plate on the hull, only thing it lost is the reload time, the main ammunition is like 1br different even the barrel launch ATGM perform better. I personally find the T-55 quite mid, I can pull up the M60 RISE and has no issue center mass it with M735, doesn’t find any hesitation to engage it any time I get the chance, only thing my 8.7s are afraid of is a hull down Chieftain MK10 and Object 279, T-55AM is a point and click food even my ZTZ59D1 will delete it with near zero effort at mid range since it carry M111 equivalent lol

Ammo is not the only thing keeping these tanks from being higher…T-55 even with a DM23 120mm round would be garbage at 9.0 lmao
Why? They would be garbage.
The T-55s doesn’t seem to click with my playstyle either, the few times I’ve main the 3BM25 and find that ammunition absolutely garbage so I only carry the APHE to flank, my T-55A is so dogwater that it even struggles to hit 2.0 kdr, meanwhile the T95E1 that I expect it to be even more garbage somehow surprise me
At this point since everybody keeps saying the T-55 is OP, I just admit that I am garbage at it that’s all
The tank is fine but its very average at its current BR and raising it would make the issues it has way worse
Think it’s more an argument for decompression to be honest. Wouldn’t mind seeing ground raised to 14.0 and dragging up everything from 6.7. Id say the t55-AM1 is probably 0.7 BR higher in capability than the t62, as is the 435. In the same breath I’d say a t62 is probably 0.7/ 1.0 Br higher than a t54
The T-69 II G can be very good with DM23 105
But I would also say that the T-62 and T-72 are only 2 BRs apart when the T-72 is so much better in every way

T-62 and T-64A are suffer children from this BR range.

Yes, the T-64A apparently is inferior to the T-62M-1 in almost every way
I’d definitely say 64A is closer in performance to T-62M-1 than to 72A.
I didn’t get notified of this, but great research!
My least favorite rank 6 mbt
No heavy mg, no aps, no other gimmick , and it’s mobility is the definition of mid
It would be op at 8.3 but that’s where it should be based on the vehicles around it
I’d even say 8.0 bc it lacks the heavy mg for light targets and that is frankly the most irritating part
It’s the only rank 6 tank where u cannot miss a little bugger trying to close the distance or even one that accidentally bumps into u
Even the t10m has the 14mm coaxial that will always be a threat to them until u die
And now I couldn’t even respond to the event rocket car -_-
Give something for the pain and let me die

Lol
Heavy mg doesnt justifies br raise
Look at tiran 6 it doesnt overperform or smt
I like T-62 very much and i think it’s fine, but i fully support your claim to bring it down, would make me enjoy t-62 even more
