Why does the T-62 exist at 8.7?

Game Discussion Realistic Battle
122

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

Heavy mg doesnt justifies br raise
Look at tiran 6 it doesnt overperform or smt

125

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

126

**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

T55 is a monster

131

It’s really the to55 that’s total bs. Aphe and a useless gimmick but we all know it should be 8.3

And they smacked the 14mm on the object 140 but the t62 is left naked? Smh

that’s the tiran 4s, not the tiran 6…

134

How so?
Look at israel players no one take the tiran 6 over magach hydra or shot kal

135

Also tiran 4s has diffrent gun but same hull and engine

136

The Tiran 4Sh is actually not supposed to have the gun it does ingame lol, but yes it is like that ingame (bc gaijin). It’s supposed to be the same Sharir 105mm with M111 APFSDS as found on the Tiran 5Sh and Tiran 6Sh.

You think the t62 is bad? Try the chieftain

138

I’m really not agreeing.

The only things the T62 have over the Chieftain is access to HEAT-FS, a better acceleration, and a slightly faster turret traverse. Everything else is in favour of the Chieftain.

There’s a reason why you don’t see many T62 being played, there are way better options at the BR.

Lool 2025 an im hearing someone trying to act like t62 is worse than chieftain mk3.

Chieftain has less penetration, armor and speed. Like the only thing the chieftain does better is dsmage and hulldown. Which is situational at best

You never played anything soviet past rank 2…

Armor at these br without composite is not relevant, everything goes through it.

Chieftain is very similar in playstyle with the T62, both are to be used in support at range, and the Chieftain has every metric to do it better than the T62.

You’re only reacting emotionally.

They are close, one is a better sniper and one is a better brawler, which one is better depends on the map’s terrain pattern lol have you played the T-62?

Better sniper is arguable, it has a rangefinder but the ballistics on the l15 are worse than on 3bm4 it has also worse flat and angled penetration, although l15 is more reliabled amd shatters less. 90% of war thunder maps dont accomadate a sniper playstyle, the chieftain with its poor mobility is simply qorse than t62 in most cases, i have not personally played the t62, dont really need to either.
