M4 Sherman has only 565 HP in base config, while other Tier 5 MTs (like T-34 or Pz IV H, also in base config) have 650-780 HP. This feels unbalanced in WoT Modern Armor. Could you pass this feedback to the devs? Thanks!

Did you upgrade the turret on your M4? It should be 650.
The average HP for non pref MM T5 meds is about 700~ with the median of 670~.

Theres 4 meds that have 800+ to offset them being kinda poor

Its the first Sherman so it should be low. The Pz IV starts at Tier 4. Shermans start at 5 and go on to Tier 6.

It also gets 12°

If the M4 Sherman’s low HP is justified by historical accuracy, then a question arises: why does the Grizzly I have 700 HP without any fundamental differences in hull or turret survivability?
And secondly, if we truly follow a historical approach, why does the T-34 have 650 HP on its stock turret instead of something closer to 520?
It looks like historical accuracy is being applied selectively rather than consistently.

Grizzly is a pref tank and thus shouldnt be looked at too much... well some pref tanks are arguably too good but heh.

as for the stock turret being so poor... eh dubious balance.

And a low pen gun. Its actually built like all Premiums should be, worse than the Tech Tree Version. The T 34 has the long standing Russian bias as default.

Full low down here

#

I like them, they make good trainers

#

At tier 6 the turret stops working. But at tier 5 they have 12° and daft dpm.

#

or you go tech tree and get a derp

#

the armour does work in various directions, very good tank for the green beans to play

#

the ripper is by far the worst. The imp is different

#

And molded hulls are different again

#

You want the champion? Or the US M4 tier 5, with the derp

#

failing that, the frostbite/grizzly.
