Why does the T-62 exist at 8.7?

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

**Tiran 6 ** has:

Better mobility (a lot better)

Faster reload (by 2s)

More ammo options (HESH, smoke, etc.)

Comparable armor and gun performance

Fixed 8x zoom vs 3.5-7x zoom

Huh?
Dude they are the same
Both have 580hp
Both have the same shells
And noth have the same armor
Tiran 6 is a cp t62 with muching guns thats it u are confusing with something else

Fun Fact: T55A is bullying 7.3 with better reload and an existing DshK
