T26E5 is fine at 6.7 tbh but T34 is worse than the T29 and the reload really holds it back.
The Object 248 is just worse than the Tiger 2H at everything and even at 6.7 it’s not strong.
The angle pen is somewhat historical and the angle mod being better than HEAT is a statcard problem.
It’s still more versatile than its competition and will always have the upper hand.
Don’t know why you think that when the 279 is better than the T-72A and a lower BR.
Assuming you’re talking about 7.7 UK the tanks should get a major buff to APDS and move up in BR. The Conqueror especially is so weird to use. It’s op against the other 7.7 heavies but total trash against SPGs, light tanks and SPAA.
If it weren’t for the 279 at 9.0 they (and other 8.0/8.3 tanks) could easily move up and get an APDS buff.
All the shells you mentioned can be fully stopped by the transmission & engine, the DM33 can barely damage the crew. Btw I played in realistic battle and I used Merkava Mk1.B, a BMP-2M shoot me with his 30mm gun from like 200 meters in the front hull, penetrated through the engine and killed my last crew member lol
From my experience Merkavas from the front are easy to kill and only on side shots the hull produces 0 spall. I also checked both US Merkavas and the damage model doesn’t seem to have any major differences.
At 9.0 it was fine, the 279 sort of has a shit position. If it goes down, it becomes untouchable, but now 10.0s are moving up, maybe the 279 is in a fairer place for it?
8.7 it was still lol-penned by everything at its BR, and still easily penned by M48s… I know cause I was both the M48s and facing the M48s.
Also when in a downtier, there was at most 2 279s in the entire match, and that was once.
But yeah, with more decompression it’s probably balanced at 9.0 instead of being the unplayable mess it is currently.
It’s like if the Maus was put to 8.x.
well there is enough difference(20-40mm) in the front hull armor so you are more likely to survive being shot in the front while using the USA Merkava Mk1 compared to the Israeli Merkava Mk1.B(basically nonsense but lets agree to gaijin). Also the Merkava Mk1(USA) can handle CE shells better than the Object 279 in front, and it has DM33 APFSDS shell equipped too.
To be fair man it absolutely wasnt great for downtiers when it was 8.7
It isnt lol penned to get hit by a 90mm heat round in a 50s discontinued heavy. I never had an issue with for example, the amx30 taking out a 279, heat actually works wonders onit.
But once i came across them with apds slingers. It changed my outlook.
Its like i said, was a monster in a 7.7 downtiers, mind you, leo1 used to be 7.3!, at in 9.7 was pretty easily taken out due to everone having apfsds. but, its gun and round are absolutely phenomenal if used right as its highly mobile (for a heavy)
It should stay where it is agreed! .
The maus even at 7.7 is quite a sad tank now adays IMO
they are not odd stats if you know what it means. he uses reserve vehicles to avoid crew lock when leaving a match because it’s an uptier. this guys stats are likely only due to playing in full down tiered games.
he can’t be that good either, since I’ve met people that do this and have 10+ k/d in most vehicles they play.
he also doesn’t have the object 279. bro’s just salty he can’t abuse it by only playing when down tiered.
You can do that? I’ll try to see if there are ways to not get crew lock should I leave the match without spawning, there is some maps I really hate that I would just quit without spawning lol
