Lol that video is so old, that map isn’t even in the game anymore.

You have a strength. Most Tiger 1s are in a lineup with Tiger 2s because most people unlike me have a poor lineup. Most Tiger 1s are either brain-dead or outright stupid, so it is not hard to block tier shots. Maybe the Tiger 2 is a problem, but pushing the 76 down would make the VK 3002s and Panther Ds face it, and sometimes even Panzer IVs, which makes the 76 like the Maus when it was first introduced.
Well then why not push the Tiger 1 down too since it gets into 6.7-7.0 matches over 80% of the time. Every single match in the Tiger 1 for me is not done without the Tiger 2. The 7.0 tanks are mean and they tend to be more getting than giving.
Almost all german low tier canons are undertierd
It’s ironic how Jumbo players insult German mains for having point-and-click penetration, while they are crying Jumbo is bad, because it “can’t pen anything”. It’s almost as if they are the ones that need high penetration to cope with their skill issue.
It’a also ironic how people make fun of German mains or heavy tank mains in general that they want to have a frontally invincible tank, while that’s practically what a Jumbo 75 is, with a medium tank mobility too.
The same people who say penetration isn’t everything fail to acknowledge Jumbo’s many strengths, which is practically everything except penetration.
It’s crazy how people ignore that all Shermans 75s and 76s have a stabilizer working up to 24kph, yet it is common knowledge that stabilizer is a must past like 8.7.
Jumbo 76 is fine where it is, it’s just a compression problem.

Please, do not spread misinformation. I never said any of that. That quote is from Internationalism, not me.
Given that the Jagdpanzer IV and Hetzer exist, until 4.3 would be more accurate. Although Germans can still lolpen anything from 3.3, they just can’t eat shots back.
Just like to say that “can’t pen anything” is different from “has to aim to pen”. I don’t know if you’ve ever come up frontally against a Tiger II in anything armed with a 75 or 76, but it’s not a matter of “not having point-and-click”, it’s a matter of “no matter where you point you won’t pen”.
The skill issue to end all skill issues holy shit.

Both can be frontally penned by the US 76 (and comparable guns), and neither have a turret. Well-protected TDs aren’t new, and even then the Jpz IV model that we have is, if memory serves me right, one of only two prototypes - and is missing an extra 20mm of frontal armor that the production models got.
As for Pz IVs with the long 75, after playing through all the 75mm Shermans, I have to say they’re just a gimmick. Dangerous in a few maps, but 95% of the time the M4s are just so much better it’s insane.
And a M4A1 75 can be frontally penned by a Tiger II. So what? These are 4.3, while the first 76s appear at 5.0, and run through to 6.3. The 76 is not even part of the question. A much more relevant gun is the 75, or the Soviet guns around that BR. These cannot pen the Jagdpanzer frontally, and have a lot of difficulty with the Hetzer.
I don’t know if you are aware, but the Pz IV/70 is an excellent tank with the Panther’s gun, with no turret, at a higher BR (due to having a better armour layout frontally). Not having a turret really doesn’t limit you that much.
Nigh invincible frontally ones at 4.3 with amazing guns aren’t new, but they do exist, and they are in the German tree. It is pretty much universally accepted that the Jagdpanzer is pretty busted at 4.3, I don’t know how this is news to you. The Jagdpanzer IV and the Panzer IV/70 are my single two favourite vehicles in the German tech tree, and the Jagdpanzer at least should definitely go up.
I agree with you on this in part; the Sherman is more well-rounded and I would say a better tank overall for War Thunder. That the Pz IV G is still at 3.3 (despite being much closer to the H and J than the F2 in how good it is) is pretty ridiculous, but no, Pz IVs are not overpowered. I never said they were.

I agree on 76 but 75 can go lower
U can do nothing against angled tiger
I mean, I don’t have the Tiger II yet, so I assumed, and I don’t face the 76 every single time. Only if people like you were there-need more nice people that don’t yak about KDR.
I mean, you legit said that the Tiger H1 and Tiger II use the same 88. You don’t even need to own these tanks to know that is wrong. Seriously just taking a single look at them in the garage is enough.
Anyway the Jumbo is fine at 6.3, it performs quite well and is quite fun as well. Also most German tanks at that BR range are also mostly fine at their current BR.

Best not to confidently spout nonsense if you don’t actually know what you’re talking about :). Also, you said that the Tiger II can’t pen the Jumbo. You weren’t just assuming, you straight up invented information which you had no way of knowing. Makes me wonder how much else of what you said you were inventing (like those 7.3 IS-3s you were apparently facing with your 6.0 German lineup).
I swear this is a perfect representation of most Tiger players. You said yourself that you always get shot in the back by Jumbos 1 km behind you.
Soviet 76 vs Jumbo is possible right now. Play the KV-1 Zis-5 and you’ll realize that its basically food for Panthers, Jumbos, and Tigers
Soviet 76mm from 0m away against a 4.7 heavy and the weakest panther.
I mean did people forgot all the different content creators who thought the KV-1A m1942 was garbage at 5.0 with the 76?

That thing meets long 88s, HEAT-FS, Soviet 122s and Soviet 100s. No point in playing it

Well no lineup either. A 4.7 spaa which does better as a TD and a bunch of TD 4.0’s with meh pen and mobility what a great 4.7 lineup lol
