Why does the T-62 exist at 8.7?

have you tried looking at the angles that actually matter

soviet darts usually have high flat pen but bad angled pen, and angled pen is usually what decides whether you bounce or not on stuff. Leopard 2a4 face is one of the only time I can think of a flat surface to pen

Now compare their angled pen + ricochet angles.
I’ve had that round bouncing on Marder UFPs like it’s nothing.

Angle pen matter, but not that much.

Elaborate?

I found it pretty decent to be honest, but when i got the 435 which is better in basically every way, i found no use for it. Especially with the other 8.7 MBT’s you get with USSR its pretty obsolete at 8.7

Wouldn’t this alone justify looking into a downtier

It is good as other 8.7 and it is slightly better then t55
U have a bit less then 1.5 kd its normal
Also as i said in this br u get alot kf downtiers anyway
Its good tank

Such as?

Not by enough to warrant a BR increase

No t62 has fine turret armor even against some heat and early apfsds it can take some
Also better mobility and low profile

And in downtier ur armor is even better when shot it pretty much the same like even t54 can pen u easily

No it can’t as it’s lolpen even for 90mm HEAT. You’ve been lied to.

50 vs 48
8 vs 11
15.7 HP/t vs 13.9 HP/t

That’s about it for mobility.

Yes, you’re trading half a dozen things for an ability to have better armor against conventional AP rounds that aren’t even that common at 7.7.
Gimel has ERA which can stop 105mm HEAT, let alone 90mm one. It can even help you against some early ATGMs.

Volume metric my guy
1.8 hp/t is nit a small diffrance
And the low profile is also a big advantge

Shot gimel is better but not by match
In full downtier i will take the t62 in full uptier the shot kal
And u get alot of downtiers

I never looked at T-62 as a volumetric hell, you got any evidence for that ?

Gimel is definitely 0.3 BR better than T-62, as the latter’s advantages mostly lie in being shot at by WW2 rounds lol.

No, the T62’s turret armor is worse, its easier to pen it with 7.7 French solid shot than to pen t55s.

Played that yestarday and i won 3v1 against 2 leos and shot kal or strv
Both leos shot at me and did nothing one has heat im pretty sure

Not true

Listen if t62 was underperforming then gaijin would have allready make it 8.3

Good job, doesn’t really prove anything though.

I don’t think you of all people should go this route, seeing how upset you get over Merkavas and Namers being at their respective BRs.

U did not just said that lol
U rly think merkava is 12.0 metirial?
Peper armor against leo 2a7 sure
And namer is a joke

Gaijin has never left something at the wrong BR for too long?
