Don’t know man, I have been apart of the tank community for a really long time amd i can say things are pretty acurate and the only catering was only towards the germans

What the hell is a J2-?
17 pounder was developed to kill Panthers frontally and from 1400m iirc. And it did that. That round bouncing off from 45mm front plate, or sides of T34 is impossible.
By this logic, 20mm of armor at 80 degree slope should bounce APFSDS.
In reality, hits from german 75mm AT guns, would tear turrets off completley, no issue penning T34 rom any distance you can see and hit it.
Again, allied guns are balanced to oblivion.
Weird since the 17 pounder was designed in 1941 and the Panther entered service in 1943.
Zero guns are balanced in War Thunder.
Anyone claiming otherwise are trying to provoke innocent people.

Oh, a J2M, not a J2-. Every week I see the most random abbreviations of names from wt players.
J2M5 doesn’t have a turbocharger, just a single stage 2 speed supercharger. J2M4 is the experimental model with a turbocharger, although it doesn’t improve performance over the J2M5 at all.
I suspect this is a mistake since the Ki-100-II also doesn’t do any better up high than the regular Ki-100 but other aircraft with that same engine do.
Ordnance QF 17-pounder
Allied technical intelligence had accurate estimates of things to come, so when Tiger1 appeared in North Africa. 17 pounder was there, to meet it.
Later development was continued and rquierments where added to pen Panther. Whhat it did. Semidecently.
Only with APDS. Which also during the war had horrendous accuracy from the 17 pounder.
Curious how this inaccuracy is not accurately modeled in game. It should be basically impossible to hit a target at 500 meters and more.

What’s up Yak 3, bamboo and magic? War Thunder doesn’t take it into account, it just makes difficult to fly the more up you are, by the way, if it actually did, the KV-2 hull crew would probably die if the tanks submerged into the water.
Also, what’s this about bamboo? None of the aircraft in the game are made of it.
We need Depleded Uranium APHE shells

If one single Yak-3 had it, we assume it was that one. Same applies to Japan, if any plane had it, we assume it to be that one. For Ki84, Ki84 in game is the best one to be, if there is a single Ki84 correctly built, then we assume it to be that one. Entire argument of ‘they rarely had oxygen IRL’ makes 0 sense. More Shermans and Hellcats are destroyed a day in WT than all produced IRL.
T-34 can bounce 17 pounder, cope, 60mm 60 degree armour is 120 in direct fire, any additional angle and it is 17 pounder proof.

This is also assuming the shell isn’t deflected slightly on impact and the angle doesn’t become greater as it tries to penetrate
Every T-34 except the T-34E STZ is 45 mm, not 60 mm.
Even the E STZ is 15 + 45 mm, which is weaker than a solid 60 mm plate.

No, just the worse case scenario that u hit the one part aka the door to crew compartment.
Also still deflectable.
It looks like that you have some issues with your general understanding of what you are playing (a video game) and in what mode you are playing - combined with some US supremacy theories.
I mean your whole post makes no sense: You try to argue with reality and are an Arcade mode player.
The only thing what made somehow sense is the totally insane high alt power of the Yak-3 if you refer to the VK 107 model.
But even in a plain P-47 D28/30 you are untouchable by them if you have some basic knowledge about MEC, energy & WEP management, differences between IAS and TAS at high altitudes and how to perform high alt and high speed fights.
Same as your wrong perception of JP aircraft - they are no threat for US aircraft at very high alt because they are slower. Full stop.
Relax.
russian bias.
Nah, every russian prop fighter, especially yak-3 was labeled as “flying tabouret” by the very pilots using it.
