The scorp and wz have essentially the same mobility

keen mantle
#

If you think that dispersion is broken look at the T-44's

tiny bone
#

I hate to say it but the wz is just an overall better tank for this game now maybe in future with larger maps will change

keen mantle
#

It's easily the best tier 8 in general

tiny bone
#

T44 best tier 8 😂

crude zinc
#

I don’t think any tank that is HE-able can be OP. OP means it can 1 v many and come out on top.

cunning hearth
#

59 Patton is best MT, shut your mouth

crude zinc
#

I would rather 1 v many in a lot of tanks before the scorpion.

torpid charm
#

laughs in type 62

keen mantle
#

the difference between the WZ-120-1 FT and the Skorpion is that you need to shoot prammo and do less damage to the WZ while you can shoot HE and get more damage and dpm when brawling a Skorpion

torpid charm
#

But will they?

keen mantle
#

Nah it's pretty well balanced right now

torpid charm
#

Look at the camo of grille vs FV183

crude zinc
#

I see more unicums spamming the 120-1 FT than the scorpion. That’s all I need to know.

keen mantle
#

Have fun if they're not stupid and hide the lower plate or face hug

#

Because a WZ can shred any heavy tank in a 1v1, as well as any medium tank, most light tanks, and almost all TDs, while the Skorpion can be wrecked by HE from almost everyone

tiny bone
#

If only the wz had 7 degrees of depression like obj 268 😭

#

True

keen mantle
#

It still has the dpm to completely destroy you

#

and if they hide the lower plate on it you should honestly just hide and give up

cunning hearth
#

WZ-120-1 FT = SU-122-44 HMMMMM

keen mantle
#

I'd rather be in a JPanther II than a Skorpion, better mobility, armor, and gun

#

I meant if they face hug or are far away and hide the lower plate, not both at the same time

#

Either

#

It doesn't matter what tank you're in you're just not winning that unless you're in a tier 9

#

If they face hug they'll just dpm you anyways

#

Skorpion you can fight back with HE

#

Only it's also huge and has terrible camo

#

While I'd say the Skorpion is the best tier 8 turreted TD it's in no way overpowered

#

"Skorpion is OP buff the armor" Bloody genius.

daring relic
#

We need a tank. Called the T-50-2, or an april fools event where u get a tog and u turn into submarines/whales

I think the Skorpion right now should stay as is

Or they could just leave it alone... It's fine as is.

yes

keen mantle

Or just leave it as is

daring relic
#

Skorp G is known for its DPM

#

u change it u f up the game and make more nabs

keen mantle
#

JPanther II has better dpm mobility and armor at the cost of a turret but apparently that's fine according to you

daring relic
#

yeah i dont understand that

#

nerf Jpan II?

keen mantle

😂

#

🤦

daring relic
#

he dont get it IS

keen mantle
#

You described the Obj. 268 v5 from pc but with less armor

#

people mount derp on it because the tank is pointless if you use the 90mm

daring relic
#

its a lethal tank and WHAT ABOUT THE JPAN II

keen mantle
#

Or just leave it as is

daring relic
#

question have u ever played Pc fridge?

solid gate
#

It only lethal when players use it right. I'm tired of the game being dumbed down to the average nub. The tank is fine as is. There are plenty of counters to it and it is a easy kill once it is spotted. Just stop already.

daring relic
#

Fake tank?

keen mantle
#

Personally a tank isn't OP if idiots can't do well in it. There's a few tanks that idiots can go well in but the Skorpion isn't one of them

daring relic
#

agreed

keen mantle
#

Also changing subject after realizing he lost on the Skorpion 😂

daring relic
#

lmao

keen mantle
#

No, you brought up the same points so many times that we eventually ran out and had to re use them.

#

Your points
It's kinda mobile
turret
The DPM is too much
Our points
The DPM is nothing special on tier 8 TDs
the thing has no armor
the thing is massive
the thing has bad camouflage
It's really not that fast

torpid charm
#

Nani!?

The scorp is definitely not as mobile as a leopard, nor does it have a gun equivalent to a 170mm at tier 10

keen mantle
#

Nah the Leopard 1 is too mobile to be like the Skorpion, and a 150mm gun seems closer to that level of performance

torpid charm
#

^

keen mantle
#

It'd be more like a turreted Grille with 300-400 less DPM

#

Which sounds good but not completely broken like you claim it would be

torpid charm
#

No, it really isnt

keen mantle
#

Nope, 128mm at tier 8 is about equivalent to 150mm in tier 10

daring relic
#

Y r u dum@nits still going

keen mantle
#

Leopard is too fast for that, it'd be a Grille with a turret and less dpm which seems a bit strong but not op

torpid charm
#

Not only that, but the huge hull of the scorpion leaves it as a huge he magnet

keen mantle
#

ah yes it's be like a Grille that shoots slower and is the size of the Leopard 1

#

but hey turret

#

It's not even that fast

torpid charm
#

^

#

Its fast enough to get around, but not enough to really COD many tanks (if any tbh) or dodge incoming fire

keen mantle
#

Lets say we compare it to tier 8 mediums. It's more mobile than the Mod 1 and Centurion but slower than literally everything else

#

Yes but it's the size of a leopard 1 and has 40mm armor at the most and 20 on the turret

#

There we go that sounds vaguely skorpion like

torpid charm
#

what

keen mantle
#

Nah that'd make the tank instantly bad

#

Do you have any clue how trash that would be

torpid charm
#

the tank already seems pretty mediocre

keen mantle
#

Go on tank compare right now and compare the Skorpion to the JPanther II

#

Because there would be literally no reason to drive the Skorpion if they did that

#

It's not that mobile, the gun isn't that good, terrible armor, it would be bad at everything compared to other tier 8 TDs

solid gate
#

This is a great example of why players don't get to balance the game 😂

torpid charm
#

^

keen mantle
#

I feel I could actually do a decent job at balance but yeah pretty much 😂

#

The Skorpion's mobility is nowhere near any medium, it's actually about on par with the IS-8's mobility if you check the stats on tank compare

#

Because with limited turret traverse the main reason to drive the tank would be gone

#

Without the turret, It's a bad JPanther II with some gun arc

#

Underpowered*

solid gate
#

It's balanced now. And this is coming from a player who despises TD's and what they bring to the game.

keen mantle
#

Only the Grille has actual good DPM compared to other tier 10 TDs while the Skorpion's DPM compared to others in tier 8 is quite bad

#

and if they buffed the DPM you'd just come back whining about DPM again

#

Nope because it'd have bad dpm still

vague sail
#

Ppl mad at the state of skorpion g
Why?
Cause they don’t have one
👌

keen mantle
#

Honestly when can WG buff the Ferdinand already

vague sail
#

They buffed it
It was over cooked
Then they nerfed it again

keen mantle
#

That thing is actually so absolute trash

#

The special thing about it is it trades just bout everything good about the other TDs for that turret

#

Compared to the JPanther II it does trade mobility and don't forget the ISU-152 has over 280mm penetration

#

Guess what it actually has better dpm than the skorpion fun fact

#

The only nerf I'd give to the skorpion is buffing the 128mm on the Borsig, thus power creeping it

#

Only if you count the Black Prince and TIger (P) as normal tier 7 heavies

#

Anyways the Skorpion is a pretty piece of Origami with IS-8 mobility

#

Top speed is 10% higher, the effective power to weight ratios are only about 5% higher

#

I'm comparing them because the mobility on them isn't that different and I was shocked to see how similar the mobility on them was

#

Well the IS-8 is still slower than almost every tier 8 medium, just like the Skorpion

#

the Skorpion's mobility isn't anything like you hype it up as

regal zealot
#

Ugh, comparing a turret TD with a non-turreted one? Compare the Skorpion with the Borsig. The Borsig has better camo, larger gun and is very low to the ground.

keen mantle
#

What I said was counting terrain resistance, I check stats on blitzstars where they have the effective amounts

regal zealot
#

Again, Borsig wins in terms of camo.

keen mantle
#

Again, the only thing I'd do to bring the Skorpion in check is buff the Borsig 128mm

regal zealot
#

But it’s never meant to run the 12.8cm. Its speciality lies in the 15cm gun.

keen mantle
#

I said it before I'll say it again, I'd buff the Borsig 128 to deal with the Skorpion

#

Only balance change I'd make

#

I'd rather buff the tank the premium tank is competing with to bring the frankly struggling 128mm gun borsig to the level of the Skorpion's gun

regal zealot
keen mantle
#

the Borsig doesn't get instaspotted the moment it's in view range unlike the Skorpion

#

Skorpion is balanced but the Borsig 128mm is underpowered, just make them equally good

regal zealot
#

Effective P/W ratio is higher on Borsig compared to Skorpion. 14 vs 13.

keen mantle
#

WG made Skorpion camo terrible on purpose as a balancing factor

regal zealot
#

Despite the hard stats having 11 and 15 respectively.

keen mantle
#

👌 GG WG hiding stats from us as always lmao

regal zealot
#

Lol. The soft stats can be found on Armor Inspector or Blitz Stars lol

keen mantle
#

I know that but it's still annoying to not be in game

#

150mm is the gun you should be using on the Borsig and is lighter so probably that

regal zealot
#

Borsig has 0.8 on hard
Skorpion has 1.1 on hard.
15.2/1.1=13.8
11.4/0.8=14.25

woeful dagger
#

Yeah but better damage per shot though

regal zealot
#

The Skorp is just marginally better in medium terrain.

keen mantle
#

Skorpion is surprisingly not that fast, it's faster than the russian heavies but slower than tier 8 mediums

regal zealot
#

Of 12.67 vs 11.4 on Borsig.

keen mantle
#

The Skorpion is seriously not that fast

regal zealot
#

That’s only useful if you have to relocate.

keen mantle
#

it's not even that good when you are relocating

#

Connor’s a gem. Broken credit coefficient, good DPM, and really good reverse speed to get out of harm’s way.

tulip sail
#

Dont forget great penn for a t5

regal zealot
#

Too bad I don’t have one.
It mounts a very powerful 17pdr on a Valentine. But they installed it incorrectly, so it goes faster backwards than forwards.

tulip sail
#

@regal zealot actually they did that on purpose

regal zealot
#

So they can retreat like the French? How un-British!

keen mantle
#

@worldly crown I was using the restroom

tulip sail
#

As a turtles td had no place in the British doctrine they made it into an ambush td

regal zealot
#

But then, they failed to defend our homeland against the Japanese in WW2

keen mantle
#

The Skorpion G can reach it's top speed... on flat ground in a straight line after about 12 seconds of accelerating

low elk
#

the skorpion g in the pc wot has great camo but in blitz its horrble

vague sail
#

Yea
If the angry Conor is there in the blitz fair
I’m picking one up

low elk
#

connor makes gud creds

tulip sail
#

But it fell out of favor because they were constantly on the attack as well as the heavier British tanks started to be able to be used

keen mantle
#

12 seconds of going in a straight line for just 55 kph is not good lol

#

So does the JPanther II only that can actually hull down and bounce some shots

regal zealot
#

Unfortunately for the Brits, The Tortoise came too late in the war.

#

But at least the Churchills and Cromwells have a lot of use in other forms, like the Funnies.

tulip sail
#

The tortoise was certainly interesting

keen mantle
#

Compare it to the JPanther II which beats it at literally everything but gun arc

tulip sail
#

Yeah the funnies are always fun to learn about

keen mantle
#

Skorpion trades away a lot for the turret

#

Actually the JPanther II is slightly less accurate but you get the point

The Jpanther has better mobility than the Skorp too.
16.6 vs 13.8

If you think the IS-6 takes no skill then you have never played the IS-6 post +1/-1 lmao

Does he even know the Skorpion has no armor at all and is extremely HE prone?

regal zealot

That’s on Hard

keen mantle

medium matters more and the JP still wins

regal zealot
#

True.

keen mantle

camo and size

#

I actually enjoy fighting the skorp it always feels like a fair fight

regal zealot

Again, you forget about camo every single time.

solid gate

In my opinion ill taake the Skorpion over it. @worldly crown so what doesnt mean anything

tulip sail
#

Unless I flank em

keen mantle
#

literally everything but accuracy and gun arc

regal zealot
#

Almost impenetrable hulldown

keen mantle
#

^^^ the JPanther II can bounce the BL-10's shells if used correctly

regal zealot
#

Needs 350mm to effectively pen that area

solid gate
#

True. I bounced it from my MBT-70 with HEAT which is retarded

keen mantle
#

Or maybe he thinks it fits his playstyle better

tulip sail
#

But the jpanther ii has nothing on the scorp when name and looks come into play

solid gate
#

Exactly doesn't mean it's overpowered

keen mantle
#

I personally prefer the IS-6 over the IS-5 for example but people constantly talk about how the IS-5 is better

#

JPanther II can do it reliably when hull down

regal zealot
#

JPanther II can do that with far greater reliability.

I like the IS5 trolly armor aand Russian Bias gun i cant tell you how many times ive hit a penetrating shot full bloom from 260m away

Nice typo @median oak quality content

quaint jetty

@keen mantle IS5 is more idiot resistant

That's not pathetic, and more alpha makes dpm easier to use

quaint jetty
#

@median oak IS6 is better than the IS6? Who wins then? IS6?

keen mantle
#

Or we could leave it as is and buff the Borsig 128mm

#

That gun could use a buff anyways

regal zealot
#

Meh, 215mm is enough for tier VIII. I’m running the top 100mm of the SU-101 and it can pen reliably without prammo.

quaint jetty

So far the mutz is fun

Exactly. The Skorpion doesnt need a nerf at all am i right?

#

You don't want to argue with facts not the other way around @worldly crown

#

the fact is that the Skorpion is balanced and the Borsig's 128mm gun could use a buff

#

jk that's an opinion

oblique pollen
#

Agree. 12s for a TD with as huge as JpII gun just can't be right

keen mantle
#

No, I brought up points that I believed were stronger

#

Lets be honest, no one came here ready to accept what the other side was saying

torpid charm
#

@worldly crown why’d you delete all your messages?

keen mantle
#

He does that every time he loses an argument and doesn't want to admit it, get used to it

#

I've said it before, it's not that the Skorpion needs a nerf, but rather that the Borsig 128mm needs buffs

#

Maybe push it to 2950 dpm to put it square between the Skorpion and JPanther II

torpid charm
#

Alpha dmg, and a much much smaller profile @worldly crown

regal zealot
#

Soft gun stats are exactly the same for Borsig and Skorp.

keen mantle
#

I think both guns should be viable like the way it is on PC

#

If I want to go for long range sniping then I can use the 128mm, if I want medium range derping grab the 150mm is how I want the borsig, so it caters to two playstyles. If the 128mm is buffed to be between the dpm of the Skorpion and JPanther II (2900-2950 dpm) I think everything's going to be fine.

short flame
#

and also turret traverse

keen mantle
#

Okay? the Borsig is harder to hit and has way way better camo

short flame
#

skorpion G has broke camo rate

keen mantle
#

I think WG left that on purpose

short flame
#

still, that's what i tis

#

Skorpion G has a hull that can absorb some He shelle

keen mantle
#

Skorpion doesn't need nerfing, Borsig 128mm needs buffing

short flame
#

rhm needs better camo rate, fine.

regal zealot
#

Soft stats are dispersion on the move, dispersion while hull traverse and dispersion while turret traverse. They both have 0.18, 0.18 for the first two, but 0.1 for skorp and 0.12 for Borsig. So very negligible @worldly crown

keen mantle
#

The armor on both is equally paper, small caliber HE doesn't pen the hull front but it pens literally everywhere also on the tank

short flame
#

skorp g is faster

regal zealot
#

Still, only -1° difference. It’s nullified if you consider the height of the two tanks.

short flame
#

probably skorp g has also better camo rate

keen mantle
#

I think both should have distinct advantages, and that the Borsig should be the sneakier one with slightly more dpm while the Skorpion should be able to relocate

#

Skorpion has terrible camo u wat

short flame
#

still i cant spot it in a fking t44100

regal zealot
#

Never found the Skorp powerful actually, when against one. But Borsigs are nightmare fuel for Heavies.

#

Again, consider the height differences between the two.

keen mantle
#

I find the Skorpion and Borsig equally scary generally

short flame
#

and also skorpion G has a cool name and super cool camo

keen mantle
#

Lets be honest that's not a real reason lol

tulip sail
#

@short flame that it does

keen mantle
#

Borsig players aren't stupid generally though, they're generally more experienced with positioning and ammo selection than the Skorpion G drivers I find

short flame
#

guys i have that offer for the hell flames camo in t44100... that"s so good...

keen mantle
#

And you can bounce everything, just the other match I had a BL-10 ping off my IS-6

#

I actually had a Skorpion G bounce off the Centurion 1 turret twice one match

hollow relic
#

How about we fix the IS 7 damage to 600 per shot 😄

regal zealot

You still can bounce shots if you don’t aim, but then, that is what would happen if you don’t aim.

regal zealot
#

Camo net and bushing will make any TD hard to spot.

#

If it fires, instaspot

oblique pollen
#

Not all TD is hard to spot, ISU and Obj 704 is pretty easy to spot

#

Well in terms, heavy TD is easier to spot than Light TD

regal zealot
#

If that’s the case, why the Grille is easier to spot than the DT? It’s slightly taller than the DT.

oblique pollen
#

Well in fact, Grille has worse camo than WT IV and Rhm

#

But still good enough for sniping

regal zealot
#

That’s true. Usually, camo correlates to height. The taller the tank, the lower the camo value. The shorter the tank, the higher the camo value.

#

UE is good at tier III. Not many tanks can spot you, even while moving, so you can just farm up the dmg.

oblique pollen
#

There are 3 TDs with highest camo rating in this game. First one is Rhm, second is E25, third is UE-57

regal zealot
#

Loved it to bits, even now.

#

Wait, thought that the UE has the highest camo in game?

#

It’s the smallest and lowest tank in the game.

oblique pollen

Also high camo rate due to low tier has low view range

The Hellcat... I've been playing around a bit and I'm on the fence about which gun to run. Sure the alpha and pen of the 90mm are nice but I've got to be honest the DPM of the 76mm is nothing to shy away from. I'm not concerned about the armor loss with the tier V turret since I'm not out to bounce shots anyway. What say you?

I prefer Jackson over Hellcat. 90mm and 7s reload is just as fast as T-34/85 or VK 30 P

it feels like my panther defenitively has more pen but it also feels like the t43 has better pen

smoky dune
#

@solid gate I can’t even consider giving up the pen and alpha of the 90mm. The Hellcat using the 76mm has to keep popping out to take those weenie little 160 alpha shots giving your enemy more chances to get in that one lucky HE shell. Makes me nervous.

solid gate
#

@smoky dune. Well I played 8 battles with that setup this morning. I've attached the results.

A couple of points.

A. I enjoyed the slight buff to agility I gained by running the lighter setup of what would be a historical Hellcat.
B. I missed the alpha of the 90mm but really enjoyed hitting for 160 every 5 seconds or something
C. The biggest thing I missed was the increased HP that comes with the top turret.

Summary. It was fun but I'll probably end up going back to the 90mm.

leaden cedar
#

T-34-3 isn't a rip off T-54, it's China looking at a picture of the T-54 and designing a tank around it.

#

IS-6 armor pushes good against tier 7 but the Tiger I is the bane of your existence

#

You're using the wrong gun if you choose the penetration cannon

#

That is. If you can play a Tiger I properly, then yes it is tier 8 heavy tank clubber

solid gate
#

Almost all Chinese tanks are rip off T-54s, others are rip off IS tanks. I hate that tech tree and hope WG will release some useful tanks like Swedish ones

leaden cedar
#

Actually Chinese tanks are not rip offs

#

What WG did to the Chinese tree was a travesty however

solid gate
#

If Chinese tanks are not rip offs, what are they? Oh, yeah, tanks bought to other nations

leaden cedar
#

Type 59 is China's discount T-54, that is a premium

#

T-34-1 is when you rebuild a T-34 76 to house a 100mm gun

solid gate
#

Isn’t that basically rip off

leaden cedar
#

T-34-2 is T-34-1 all over again

#

No, it's not. They completely rebuilt the entire hull.

#

If you argue the T-34-1 is a rip off of the T-34 76, then you can argue the T95 medium tank is a rip off of the M48 patton

solid gate
#

Ok lemme check the definition of a rip off
PS T-34-1 is a rip off T-54

leaden cedar
#

No, it is not, it has nothing to do with T-54, except for the gun

#

Which I'd like to point out was the medium tank equivalent of the death star for a long time, beating the British 105mm L7 in raw power

solid gate
#

cough turret

leaden cedar
#

Just because the turret shape is remotely the same does not mean it is a 'rip off'

#

You aren't even using the word rip off correctly, because the deal is no fraud. You can argue it is a clone tech tree, but it's not that either

solid gate
#

My English is not good that’s why
But it’s still garbage

#

A failed copy

leaden cedar
#

The real Chinese tech tree actually got screwed by World of tanks

solid gate
#

Actually they were built 20 years later sure they were more powerful in terms of gun

leaden cedar
#

China actually experimented with smoothbore guns on light tanks. Specifically, a version of the Type 62 with a 100mm smoothbore gun. This is well within timeline, but if the 115mm U-5TS is any indication, they are beyond tech level, and for very good reason

#

STB-1 is from the late 1960's, the 100mm armed Type 62 is within timeline.

solid gate
#

STB-1 is actually way better
Light armor of M551 Sheridan was its main flaw Type 62 is a T-54 without armor and 10 years later what timeline

leaden cedar
#

Type 62 is a very light light tank

#

It was developed for the purpose of making a light tank that could operate outside of better paved areas in China, and be combat useful. Hence, it's 300mm penetration HEAT shell can kill any NATO tank that could have been fielded at the time, through their best armor

solid gate
#

It cannot kill Merkava

leaden cedar
#

STB-1 is not an especially good tank contrary to your imagination

solid gate
#

At least it can’t be destroyed by throwing some rock on it

leaden cedar
#

Merkava actually has really shitty hull armor. Even a 1949 T-54 can shoot up the merkava frontally

solid gate
#

We’re not talking about the same model I think
Mk2 has spaced armor

leaden cedar
#

Only the Mk 4 has the physical possibility of having some mediocre armor, but it'll get buttered

#

Spaced armor is actually not a good option against HEAT shells. It requires incredible size to be effective, and can result in optimum stand off, improving the performance of the shaped charge

#

Fuel tanks however, are very mass effective* protection against HEAT shells. But ERA is just amazing

solid gate
#

Ok but I don’t understand nothing now my English is too low

leaden cedar
#

You can destroy any tank by throwing a big rock at it.

solid gate
#

No I’m talking about some small rock

leaden cedar
#

Main flaw of the Sheridan was that it pushed a prototype gun system into service and said gun system was very questionable.

#

Type 62 actually has very good armor for a light tank

solid gate
#

It worked anyways
USA lost against Vietnam but not cause of the tank

leaden cedar
#

It's resilient to 40mm APDS shot I think

solid gate
#

Simpler plz I don’t understand

leaden cedar
#

It's front armor can stop 40mm Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot

#

57mm shot is too much, but I think 40mm shot can be resisted

solid gate
#

Who builds 40mm shells in 60´s?

leaden cedar
#

I do not believe any.

solid gate
#

._.

leaden cedar
#

Sheridan on the other hand can't even stop a certain Soviet machine gun

#

14.5mm KPVT

#

Type 62 frontal armor is capable of messing up the fusing action of all NATO HEAT shot of 1950's-mid 1960?

#

the entire UFP can induce the critical angle required to cause them to fail to fuse. It is merely a matter of slightly angling the tank a few degrees to either side

#

Thus in a way it is completely immune to HEAT shot for a very brief interval of time

#

This issue showed up in the Yugoslav tests

#

Soviet HEAT shells because of a different fuse design, did not suffer from this flaw, and accordingly, could easily defeat tanks like the Chieftain

#

enabling a 'lowly' T-54 to kill a chieftain from over 1.5 kilometers through it's precious turret with 3BM8, and all feasible combat ranges with 3BK-5 and 3BK-5M

#

Even a 'lowly' T-34 85 could kill a Chieftain with it's own HEAT shells, through the turret

median oak
#

Yes because the Russian tanks have done so well in armored combat since WWII

I mean to be fair they're not bad per say, but they aren't the greatest tanks. Maybe the T-14 Armata is going to get up there with the best tanks the NATO nations have

#

@median oak What you are saying is a logical fallacy and you know it

#

When equally incompetent forces clashed (Iraq vs Iran) the results were approximately equal. It also showed precious Chieftain tanks couldn't stop a T-62's steel 'training' shot, with even their precious turret armor. It also showed Chieftain tanks are very much capable of being butchered. And M60A1's burn like a boss

#

Middle East couldn't beat farmers with a modern army, much less Israel. Their terrorist organizations are better at fighting wars than they are.

#

And no, they aren't Russian, they are Soviet, and very specifically, Polish/Czechslovakian/still not Russia

#

@keen mantle They are some of the greatest tanks ever made. T-54 is way up there for example. T-14 Armata is likely better than the M1 Abrams, based on what we know about Soviet 1970's-end tank projects

keen mantle
#

The problem is that with the state of the Russian economy, almost all of their tank designs either get canceled or end up being about 80% as good at half the cost. Russia's military generally goes for cost effectiveness rather than being overall best.

leaden cedar
#

The reason most of the Soviet 1970's projects were cancelled, was because A Kremlin isn't as stupid as Pentagon for experimental tech

keen mantle
#

Also because they have money issues and are forced to maximize cost effectiveness rather than make the best possible tank

leaden cedar
#

T-90 is a very good tank and can still kill every NATO MBT frontally

keen mantle
#

T-90 is actually just a T-72 with a T-80 turret

leaden cedar
#

And a T-72 could already kill every NATO MBT

keen mantle
#

Doubt

leaden cedar
#

You realize the T-72M's in Iraq are just downgraded T-72A's with training shot for it's best AP ammo selection, right?

keen mantle
#

The T-72 is very common in the middle east and it's performance suffers against the much more expensive and technologically advanced NATO tanks

leaden cedar
#

training shot that can kill a Chieftain but not an M1 Abrams

keen mantle
#

And while export T-72s are worse, the difference is in the armor package

leaden cedar
#

the difference is actually quite huge in ammunition selection

#

the best the middle east can hope to buy for a 125mm is really bad ammo. Or steel training shot. That is, if they actually buy a T-72 in the first place. One of the most common Iraqi tanks was a Type 69, and just like Soviet Union, China was not selling good shot

keen mantle
#

Almost every tank can kill another tank, the problem is mobility, accuracy, and visibility

leaden cedar
#

T-72 has the accuracy and targeting abilities...

keen mantle
#

And yet has far worse range than NATO tanks and worse ability for firing on the move

leaden cedar
#

I don't think you realize: NATO tanks can't actually kill a T-72 past around 2 km

#

T-72B I think

keen mantle
#

And a T-72 definitely can't kill past that either. The T-72 is an outdated tank that Russia just sells because they can make money

leaden cedar
#

T-72B has much stronger armor than T-72A

#

T-72B can resist 120mm shot at the end of cold war era

keen mantle
#

For the T-90 they just upgraded the armor packages on a T-72 hull and slammed a T-80 turret on it

leaden cedar
#

T-72 weighs in at ~40 tons, and it's enemies weigh around 60 tons+

keen mantle
#

Yes, that's Russia, they make small tanks to save money by making a tank that's 80% as good for half the price

leaden cedar
#

T-72 has, frontally similar LOS values as it's NATO couterparts

#

Not 80%. Almost the exact same.

keen mantle
#

Russia's first real shift away from that concept is the T-14

#

you know america experimented with something like the T-14 once?

leaden cedar
#

and the T-14 Armata is inferior to the prototype MBT concepts of the 1980's.

keen mantle
#

The T-14 only exists because Russia wants to move away from having a conscript army so they need a tank that doesn't blow up the moment someone gets a good turret hit

leaden cedar
#

Actually, turret hits are difficult to get an ammo detonation on a Soviet tank

#

a major fragment would have to do a near 60* turn and pierce a shell casing

#

As it turns out that almost never happens.

keen mantle
#

The thing is that's a possibility

leaden cedar
#

It's more like a possibility so unlikely that it will never happen

keen mantle
#

NATO tanks generally use human loaders so they can retain the ability to use blowout panels

leaden cedar
#

That makes absolutely no sense at all.

keen mantle
#

You're saying this like the autoloader magazine isn't huge and can be hit from a lucky turret shot or a center of mass shot

leaden cedar
#

Do you even know where the autoloader is situated?

keen mantle
#

You'd have to be extremely lucky to get it through the turret
The autoloader is in the lower center of the hull

#

The T-72 is an outdated machine that only serves to be sold in large numbers to poor nations

leaden cedar
#

T-72 is outdated but it's much better than you give it credit for.

keen mantle
#

Well I'm not denying that it can kill an NATO tank, just that it'd struggle against most of them frontally and gets out ranged by almost all of them

leaden cedar
#

Struggle? Lol

#

Do you even know what level of armor NATO MBT's even have?

keen mantle
#

It varies a lot

leaden cedar
#

Their LOS is barely higher than T-72. In places, it is lower.

#

T-72 varies from ~580 to ~800 LOS main frontal

#

NATO is ~600 typically.

keen mantle
#

We got the heavily armored stuff like the Abrams and Challenger and we have some more nimble stuff like the Leopards

#

it's not really the same across all of them as lots of nations have opted to go for their own home made armor packages

quaint jetty
#

Guys, you do realize that in the end NATO wins right?

keen mantle
#

yeah pretty much

quaint jetty
#

Air support wins most battles

leaden cedar
#

Challenger has good armor?

keen mantle
#

Do you need to see the operational records of the Challenger 2?

leaden cedar
#

Some people can really dream. But in truth it's armor is not very strong. It is actually very sketchy.

quaint jetty
#

And NATO has better long range strike capabilities

leaden cedar
#

Leopard 2 likely has highest kinetic protection of all NATO MBT's

keen mantle
#

press x to doubt

#

If anything, of the countries with current generation MBTs the Leopard 2 is closer to the bottom end

leaden cedar
#

Challenger and Abrams were designed to be better against HEAT munitions, Leopard made use of possibly inferior armor efficiency but it was still better protection versus kinetic, simply about mass investment

#

Leclerc has dubious armor protection, Challenger is still mediocre and is by far the slowest NATO MBT

#

Oh right there is the Type 90 with it's unbelievably sketchy armor mass

quaint jetty
#

So, what tank will you guys shoot for in the event? I'm thinking the new American for me

keen mantle
#

Well the Challenger 2 is falling behind in terms of weaponry and engine power but the armor is still rather nice

quaint jetty
#

Unless it's in crates, then I might wait

leaden cedar
#

Do you even know what the Challenger 2's armor is like?

keen mantle
#

@quaint jetty dude the turret can literally be penned by 75mm HE on that thing

quaint jetty
#

@keen mantle I'm a sucker for Americans

#

Literally all my tier X is US

keen mantle
#

There's a huge 25mm tumor on the side of that turret

leaden cedar
#

T110E5 has an ahistorical tumor and hull

#

WG checked the T110E5's real hull and decided the armor would be too weak, so they just gave it a better one out of pity.

quaint jetty
#

Still, if I can get the tank without spending a dime, I'll try, but won't pay for crates

leaden cedar
#

IIRC it's actually 110mm @30*

keen mantle
#

Same with the M48 and T110E5 cupola where they chopped the top in half

leaden cedar
#

M48 turret is fake armor. Real life armor is 178 LOS from 0*

#

This means the entire turret front except for auto bounce would almost be pierced by the current interpretation of 100mm D-10T

#

100mm D-10T2C with it's ingame performance would murder that turret

keen mantle
#

the thing with it is that the flat part is rather small

leaden cedar
#

Well the problem is that the entire turrets thickness is based on 178mm LOS from zero

keen mantle
#

If it moves around it's hard to hit the flat part and you often hit the gun mantlet or very angled parts

leaden cedar
#

So it's not actually keeping 178mm thickness across the entire turret. It's thinning.

keen mantle
#

M60A3 did fix the stupid turret shape though

leaden cedar
#

M60A1*

#

And it's armor is still not very strong as M60A1.

median oak
#

None of the M60 turrets has much armor - 25mm TP-T goes thru it same with Leo I.

leaden cedar
#

25mm? Lol. through 254mm LOS? 178mm LOS?

median oak
#

Yeah

So no evidence, alright then

Is it worth getting the full length 152mm gun on the isu152, or to wait until the object 704 and grind free xp for it?

#

And is it worth getting the 44k xp 122mm on the isu152 or go straight to the 152mm?

median oak

@leaden cedar I really don’t care what you think. I’m simply relating factual information based on my career. I wasn’t a tanker but I’ve seen a number of different systems tested and fired a lot of stuff including anti armor systems. I’ve also crawled around in a number of former Warsaw Pact captured vehicles. I don’t sit in front of Janes Defense and regurgitate stats

@fallow shoal get it on the ISU

median oak

Never start a nine grind with out as much you can have it on already

It would be really painful with the shorter done running into tier 10 tanks

@lilac mantle No evidence. His claim. He says 25mm shot can pierce 254mm LOS. I think he is lying. His only evidence is his claim.

Maybe he means 120mm gun 🤣

keen mantle
#

If someone wanted to make a 25mm cannon that penetrated everything it they could if they had the money and tried hard enough

leaden cedar
#

That would be one very long tungsten rod.

median oak
#

The M60 tanks armor wasn’t a great feature.

keen mantle
#

@leaden cedar Tungsten? go for DU lmao

lilac mantle
#

@median oak 25mm through the front and out the back?? 😳

#

Or through the sides?

leaden cedar
#

Penetrator length prohibits penetrating the turret frontally.

keen mantle
#

inb4 just impale the tank

lilac mantle
#

Pure steel protection obviously was never great protection for a tank.

leaden cedar
#

Steel armor is actually more volume effective than composite.

keen mantle
#

the problem with steel is that is suffers against HEAT ammo which everyone uses

fallow shoal
#

To the exception if chemical round countermeasures are involved ( know its called something but forget what )

median oak
#

ERA

leaden cedar
#

It is not mass effective. Composite has slightly better performance than steel, but if same LOS steel can be defeated, generally composite will too.

fallow shoal
#

Btw @median oak what does that stand for?

median oak
#

Explosive Reactive Armor

fallow shoal
#

Isnt it like 1 time use?

leaden cedar
#

ERA is a secretly a cheatcode.

median oak
#

Basically small panels of attached explosive compound designed to detonate and disrupt a HEAT warhead’s charge

fallow shoal
#

Take that as a yes then lol

median oak
#

One time use for that location -

#

Other issue is it causes issues on the vehicle. Dislodges other panels and generally annoys dismounted support...

leaden cedar
#

OP as sin ERA is.

median oak
#

For the most part Armies have transitioned from it.

leaden cedar
#

lol wut? Are you serious?

fallow shoal
#

True i would assume the fact that people would climb over possible bombs would be a detrament.

median oak
#

Preferring add on modules of composites

keen mantle
#

Almost everyone uses a combo of ERA over composite

median oak
#

ERA will wreck visions ports, thermal sights and comms gear

#

It’s really not practical in practice

keen mantle
#

That's the main disadvantage

fallow shoal
#

But the cost of replacing the plates after combat could be another negative, as opposed to just having overall thicker armor.

keen mantle
#

it's kind of um

You don't want to be standing next to a tank as the tank gets shot

Or be the external gunner if it applies.

#

ERA is actually amazing. Many tanks use it nowadays. Abrams with ERA for example exists. "Tusk"

fallow shoal
#

But its integrated within the armor not just plates slapped onto the outside of the tank

keen mantle
#

It's pretty much just bricks of ERA strapped to a tank

fallow shoal
#

Fair enough

median oak
#

TUSK actually is modular. ERA can be added as part of a Theater Protection Package. - but generally ERA causes more issues than it solves. For the most part most new / LEP’s use a modular armor add on - so you can add what is relevant and it keeps the weight down on the original vehicles.

inland osprey
#

Better than having a projectile punch through the tank because you don't like ERA

solid gate
#

At7 is great just got it

median oak
#

Concerns about enemy ERA drove dual and triple war heads - to defeat add on. As well Top Attack warheads now...

solid gate
#

OFFTOPIC

median oak
#

Plus ERA generally can be defeated by kinetic penetration sabots - as the hypersonic signature can pre detonate and it’s generally not deflected significantly off the AOA anyway

leaden cedar
#

ERA can handle dual warheads

#

ERA can also defeat kinetic sabots unless you specifically design to protect against them

keen mantle
#

struggles with APFSDS tho

median oak
#

Late 80’s era TowII could defeat most current ERA packages

Kontakt-5 is nice but it's nothing invincible

leaden cedar

Took you how long and you think 25mm sabot shoots holes through 254mm RHA?

#

Kontakt 5 is a heavy ERA. It's on the high end of the spectrum

#

You can shoot it with an auto cannon and it won't go off

keen mantle
#

how big of an autocannon

inland osprey
#

What about 30mm auto

leaden cedar
#

Not sure about 30mm, but I do know 20mm

@leaden cedar you remind me of folks in project offices that make great claims and base stuff off computer modeling that doesn’t pan out in the real world and refuse to admit garbage in garbage out.

who needs evidence I just need to make a claim on the internet and people will believe me

to be fair that's everyone here lol

leaden cedar

Idk about armor but modern warfare is quite one-sided, as far as modern warfare goes

#

Just pop a couple of missiles and all is well

keen mantle
#

If someone made a cannon that shot a 25mm DU dart at hypersonic speeds it would penetrate just about anything to be fair, it just wouldn't be doing a whole lot of damage

@west stag hmm more gun depression on the second gun... I never knew, I guess I'll stick with the second gun if I purchase the LTTB again...

#

Less pen and dpm for gun depression, good enough

keen mantle

it's only 6mm less pen and a little less dpm but you get 10 more alpha on prammo, and 8 degrees of gun depression rather than 5

Yeah but it's still sloped 75mm

tall fox

Just know any time I being grinding any tank, there’s a good chance it will get nerfed. Lol.

Pre nerf the LTTB could angle and autobounce a T34...

Granted it had to be a prefect angle while pitched up slightly - but

LTTB hasn’t got the DPM to deal with the T71, but the frontal hull armor is as trollish as a Rudy.

It’s the lowest DPM LT of tier VII, but it has armor as compensation.

In fact. Since it has a low avg win rate, and a high avg damage, looks like a great candidate for a swap, maybe to an actual skill based tank, rather than a slot machine on tracks

So this is a legitimate question. Does China just not care about having effective tanks to fight wars with. Because the entire medium line including the WZ120 is some of the worst tanks I’ve ever played. With all the hills and mountains in China you would think designing a tank able to shoot something 200+ meters away on slightly lower ground would be a priority. It’s a joke trying to shoot anything that isn’t on flat ground
