Why is the Object 279 still 9.0

Yeah but theres always a spot you can hit.

Maybe because ive played for as long now i cant remember the bad engagements, now if i notice i cant damage it i dont bother.

Though ive got plenty memories of it shrugging off the apbc from the m103 and the m47 heat now that you mention it.

Though now adays its kind of the same.as anything just engage when its possible to damage enough to either 1 or 2 shot

Same as the 279 i used to think it was the pinacle of BS, then i figured out its easy enough to take out, and if you cant ? Then.well dont fire at it.

I think a lot of players need to think about that before firing.

Dont get me wrong ive been volumetricked badly. (Shot a tiger 1 with a challanger 2 and it bounced) .

Hm maybe we need to squad up sometime, do some 9.3/8.7 ?

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

so I have been told, never tried it.

Maybe he spawns the lower rank vehicles to take up SPs, if he cant spawn the higher ones anymore he leaves

Only works in heavy tanks thanks to higher sp cost.

Lmao what

The vehicle with my best KD (T-34 1940) was the one I basically only used in full uptiers.

Bruh I want a balanced game without op tanks. Doesn’t matter if I own them or not.

Germany can do it with any vehicle thanks to 3 reserve vehicles but for all other nations it only works for heavies.

Eh it may be could go to 9.3 but only if it had a reload buff lol it’s fine at 9.0 however what you could say is the tam 2ip should be higher lol

Its a 130mm shell…

The autoloader for the tank is entirely theoretical. Tests were performed without it due to jamming. And there is damn near zero room inside the tank to unjam it. Highly unlikely that the russians actually designed a functional autoloader for a 2 part shell by the time the project was canceled.

The entire vehicle is largely made up propaganda with MASSIVE mobility buffs that are in no way realistic. Or did you think a 60t 4 track vehicle could keep up with many of the MBTs of the era with only 1000hp. Almost no vehicle uses 4 tracks because of the huge performance loss driving 4 tracks causes. In this game, the obj 279 has none of those problems.

TAM 2IP should also have gone up, so comparing it to that isn’t exactly helping your cause. DM33 is too good of a shell for fighting 8.0 vehicles.

The 279 is still the most common vehicle i see people getting nukes in, and for very good reasons. Easily the most deadly shell at 9.0 with nearly nothing at its BR able to stop the round anywhere on their vehicle.

Why should it get a reload buff? It doesn’t need it for balance reasons and it’s not historical either.

Tam2IP is undertiered too but not as op as the 279.

Everything about this tank is theoretical. I doubt the transmission or the engine would even survive a few hundred km without falling apart.

And that wouldn’t ve problem if it was placed at a BR where it would fight enemies that would be equally as capable.

DM33 makes no difference when fighting 8.0. DM23 can already lolpen every 8.0 and so can DM33.

It’s the most deadly shell in the game. 8.6s isn’t a long reload when your shell has a much vertical pen as APFSDS and is a guaranteed oneshot that requires no aiming.
