Why is the T32 and T32e1 SO painfull?

What makes them 7.3 and 7.7 worthy?
I want to love them becouse they look so cool, but it is so hard to play them! Every engagement I feel like I am at a disadvantage, after every shot I fire I need to retreat becouse of the lond reload, and the gun isn’t even poverfull. I get my barell shot every time by tiger IIs, becouse it is so bouncy.
Just make the T32 7.0 and the T32e1 7.7! I don’t see any reason they would be too powerfull at lower brs.

A reload buff is all that is needed. The armor holds well and the gun is pretty good.

They have armor that deflect all non-chemical shells in the game, this includes some of the lower tier sabot shots.
While I believe that the vehicle suffers from HEAT-FS and APFSDS rounds, it’s completely intentional.
If T32 was to fight tanks at 6.0 - 6.7, most of them will have no chance at penetrating your armor without having to flank.

Too bad it’s not the T5E1 the tutel and M6A2E1 uses, it’s actually one of the weaker gun in its respective br, even the T34’s ones without explosive filler is superior.

What? It is an aphe round with over 200mm of pen and over 100g of tnt.

Only thing that holds it back is the reload.

Dunno, I kinda don’t feel the armor nor the gun.
The gun is a just a long 88 with twice the reload and is way way bouncier, at a higher br.
And the armor just feels unreliable on the normal T32 with all the weakspots, I can’t hold position well.
I also feel like I get shoottraped way more than in other tanks.
Also my barrel gets shoot out constantly.

Yes, it is a good shell … at a lover br. But at 7.3 and up not much. You start to get mediums and mbts you have trouble penetrating. Other 7.7 heavies all have shell with higher pen performance(apds, htfs), exluding the is4 which has way better armor.

Yet their damage is not nearly as good.

Which tanks are you struggling to pen?

Okay: M48 at range and magachs, T-54, T-55, IS-3/4/6, T-10M, Ferdinand, Jagdtiger, Bushed up centurions, Type 74 variants . I don’t have the mobility of a medium to flank these tanks (even then soviet heavies are still tricky). Also, half of them has stabilizers and can shoot me first.
Light tanks often can just swarm me and I dont’t have the reload to hold them off, or they no armor best armor me and again, I dont have the reload to deal with them and they can just kill me. Also, often as I said earlyer kingtigers just shoot my barrel if we end up meeting frontaly.

I just now realised, after playing a downtier match, that what my biggest problem is!
I have hard time engaging kingtigers!!! Like what!? I supposed to have better armor and mobility, then why?
The Tiger II reloads twice as fast as me!
So in essence this is why the T32 and e1 should go down in br:

  1. The gun reloads extreamly slowly, so you need to aim carfuly, or a your dead, the kingtiger shoots twice before you reload.
    2.BUT your gun is extreamly bouncy and becouse how stable kingtigers are, they can just shoot your barrel out first.
  2. You need to engage two kingtigers? Kill one die to the other!
    The long reload would perfectly balanc out the T32 at a lower br, like how a weak gun balaces the 75 jumbo.

Yeah, i have some trouble with the is3/4. luckily, they also have trouble with me.

To be fair, that is also just teammates being teammates. they should be covering you but they like to just die and leave you exposed. And I also think the reload needs a buff.

I am playing a few games to see how it performs. so far i have played 2 matches. First match was 3 kills and a death while the second was 6 kills and no deaths.

Yeah, I am getting kills too, but getting those kills feels so painfull! (with the normal T32, with the e1 I can’t even get kills). Playing these tanks is just so demanding, for no benefit.

Maybe it is a mismatch of expectations and playstyle?

Im not sure exactly how you play it but i can show you how i play it if you want me to post my last match.

T-32E1 is great. One of the best high BR heavytanks imo.

Cant speak to the T-32 tho, idk how the weakspots hold it back compared to the T-32E1. But the E1 doesn’t imo need a shift in BR.
