Nerf it.

It would be a good idea to write your reasoning in order to stand out from all the other suggestions.

I thought it was widely known how op it is but alright.

The T28 w F30 is one of the most OP tanks at tier IV due to its gun. It is unable to pen the FCM. That should be a perfect example that the armour on the FCM is stoopidly overturned.

#

Have checked all the tech trees. "NO" tier 4 has enough pen to get through the FCM stock, and only three tier 5s are able

Doesn’t the T28 have 120mm pen with standard ammo.

fcm f4 has more side armor than all t4’s frontally.

#

with highest dpm on t4.

#

and same i would say with mobility too.

#

it simply can’t die, mine still has 100% survival rate.

Ok OP in low teirs even possible? You cant even mark in teir 4 why would nerfs need to happen?

#

To keep balance in general. They just moved the Pz38h to tier 3 so yes its possible to be OP even when it's not related to Mark's.

Also for why the FCM F4 is OP.

  • Armor is just strong in general and better than almost every tier 5 heavy. This combined with the lack of any weakspots at all. The only vague spot to shoot is to spam HE on the 30mm roof and even then its iffy.
  • Top 75mm has a way too fast reload. 2.9 reload as opposed to the expected 4.5 or something.
  • Arguably should only have a 900hp engine instead of the current 1100hp. Even if they adjust the armor to more appropriate level, the mobilty may still prove a small issue.

Put it into perspective. The machine gun port is 65mm but its rounded.
The the lower plate is 80 but angled.
The weakest part is the flat 100mm plate around the machine gun port.
This means the tanks weakest point is in line with the tiger 1!

#

Im talking about WWII.
I have played the F4 in the open and just bounce shots like its a joke lmao.
I have TRIED to get killed 🙃 and it doesn't happen

Let me remove it.

Hahaha all gee my bro

#

HE kills it. I count 21 Tier 4 tanks in my garage that can pen it. Is it hard to kill? Yes. Its a Micro Mouse for Tier 4.

Yeah this thing IS the definition of seal clubbing at tier 4. It makes the blitzen bucket and even the hetzer look silly. I load all HE in the hetzer but started loading 1 or 2 heat rounds for the fcm and it can pen the cupola but usually when it’s bearing down on you, you simply don’t have time to shoot the cupola as the fcm is so damn fast

#

Not sure how the needle stacks to it as I don’t have it on this account as I lost my old one

#

It needs a reload nerf and likely speed nerf. Armor wise yeah nerf it a bit. It can still be powerful, but shooting standard ammo? lol it’s insane even with full prem loaded

marble abyss
#

Needle penetration at 100m
75/110/23mm
penetration at 500m
61/81/23mm so the Needle needs to run away.

#

The dw2 is one of the few tanks that with prem can slap it in the lower lower plate

Even the hetzers heat fails to pen half the time on the cupola

I've had no problems penning it with my TDs at range with gold rounds same with Mediums was 120m plus gold. Arty loves it. It is incredibly fast for its size. Slowing it down would be a starting point. Leave everything else as is and watch.

wooden shell
#

i think its more of an issue it has no weak spots and thus requires you to have to use gold.

#

closest tank to it with armor is the tiger 1 which is tier 7.

#

T-150?

#

It is definitely OP armor wise for the tier. Not enough weak spots when flanked. Even more difficult is platoons of three. Gotta track em for arty

marble abyss
#

yes arty loves them

A friendly piece of advice, use premium rounds against the FCM F4 it works. That's what I use against the matilda

winged fog
#

Id recommend using the t28 with f30 85mm or the tt valentine with the 75mm it's apcr round gets 190mm pen

#

Both of those easily can slug it out with it

#

But incase yall didn't know if you're for whatever reason also playing the fcm f4 it's own gun can actually kill another one but only spot ive found that works is the turret ring so yeah there's that joeidk

warped cipher
#

Is no one concerned about the "use gold rounds" at tier 4?

winged fog
#

Brother there are some tanks even down at tier2 you might have to throw gold ammo at only tier where gold is 100% not important is tier1

#

So idk why tier4 matters in that regard

wooden shell
#

Cause even with gold it can block many tank

It have to be pretty weak gold. Also the matilda has a weak rear almost all can pen.

marble abyss
#

Yes both can be penned. Something has to be "top". Before for armor it was the Matilda, now its the FMC.

and back in day i did with stock KV 4

The tier 4 FCM is an easy fix since it is a tech tree tank. There are no limits like there might be on a premium. They don't need to wait a year, etc.

Just nerf the armor down from 120mm to something reasonable. Certainly nerf the coupola from 120mm down to maybe half that. I think 120 mm on a coupola is Certainly High tier amounts of armor.

#

easily the best tank in the game tier for tier.

small hinge
#

Certainly, best for armor. It makes the Pz.Kpfw. B2 740 (f)
look like a wet paper sack.

#

don’t ignore it’s dpm and mobility too.

#

only downside being penetration.

small hinge
#

The mobility is pretty crazy for a tier 4 that has 120mm think armor. That's about 4 3/4" inches thick.

Then is has two engines and 1100 total horsepower. That's what the AMX 65T, tier 8 French Heavy gets for engine power. I think the FCM calculates out to 65 tons too.

It should get rid of the top double engines.

Seems like the FCM F4 was a complete pipe dream that would not have been possible to make work and become a reality.

small hinge
#

I looked up the tank on wotstars...🤣

that is compared to all tier 4s.

#

#1 in winrate for all tanks both WW2 and CW

marble abyss
#

and also to small a sample. Only 94,000 battles. Lets see where it is after 250,000 .

golden briar
#

It’s ridiculous lol

If you wanna bully one, and bully is a light term here,

Load all gold in a dw2 and u can pen frontally. Or use the hetzer and shoot heat at the side or just HE to death

The Matilda with gold can pen it frontally but its not as high as the dw2 and can struggle

#

It is satisfying face hugging one of these things in a hetzer and blasting them with HE, but they can pen and kill you with heat if they’re halfway decent
