I allready explained
Great fp good armor
Good mobility good optics
It’s similar to T-55 in capability?

Yes bjt better turret armor and round so make sanse its higher br
Just being better in a few ways doesn’t mean it should be higher. The T-62 needs to be compared to how both it and the T-55 fits into the overall game and overall they both perform about the same. T-62 isn’t as good as most 8.7 tanks.

Both have no armor against APDS/HEAT/darts.
Gimel has a better round, reload speed, LRF, gun handling and gun depression. It also comes with smoke grenades and has roof-mounted MG.
T-62 simply doesn’t need to be at the same BR as Gimel.
Small, low profile, and an outstanding APFSDS round.
What’s outstanding about being worse than 105mm DM23 ?

It’s not? 347mm of pen vs the DM-23’s 337mm is not worse…
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.
