I agree, its a shame when a BR just has a clearly better weapon you have to use to remain competitive in what will likely be an uptier.
The 3 MGs on the T-28 are fantastic but using it a lot recently, the MGs seem very buggy atm, like last week they were doing no damage, now their doing next to no damage but at least you can kill people with them now. Not to mention the latest thing is the AI gunns just not following the cursor at all and shooting off randomly into the sky while I use the co ax.
Personally crusader is king for me for allied BR2 tanks, its fast, quick to react and most importantly has a good gun which (in theory) should punch well above its weight class. Even if the mystery of ghost AP shells continue, like I know for a matter of fact hans cant catch a 6 pounder shell with his intestines and just eat it up like an ersatz sausage
