Since the helpers want to have individual threads per suggestion:
Most Tank destroyers in the game have a powerful gun and in turn get significant downsides such as casemates or open turrets. In general, so long as they don’t introduce further balance issues (= be very hard to kill for down / same tier) the devs should look at downtiering such TDs to give players more reason to use them as well as giving them a chance to kill enemy tanks more reliably in uptiers.
Therefore please drop M18 GMC from BR 4 to BR 2
Let me start by saying that M18 GMC is easier to penetrate than your mom. 12-25* mm armor means that pretty much any tank or infantry AT weapon can take it out. The tank is currently massively overtired due to the shitshow that Allied tank BRs in general are, plus the fact that the maps are too small and cluttered to use the speed of M18 for much.
It’s kind of like the axis puma, except with weaker armor and stronger AT capacity. Grey zone camping or seal clubbing are not much of an issue when the tank can be taken out by a fart. And since nuke-lobbing, tank deleting poorly armored tanks are fine for BR 2 axis (sturmpz 2) then this should really not be a problem.
If you agree then let the devs know by liking and commenting. If you disagree then let everyone know that your mom is, in fact, easier to pen than the M18.
So skill Issue and on your behalf and you want to downtier 2 steps. That’s dumb.
It’s a late war tech so should be top BR.
It has really good gun so should be top tier. it has awwesome mobility and speed, both forward and reverse so should be top tier.
Your using it wrong and that’s on you then.
Enlisted should be more take into consideration what time was used (early/late tech) and role on the battlefield.
It would help for starters that they separate Tanks and TDs on different lockouts, and they should be rated amongst their own role, NOT against Tanks, which it is not.
But this is flawed BR systems fault.
But back to your suggetsion, just for your own thought, BR 2? Imagine a veteran with this thing fightinh at BR 2 against noobs and other slow as shit tanks, with this high mobility + take out anything gun, AP oneshot + HE at BR 2… yeah that is a shit matchmaking…
so in conclusion, that’s the dumbest asked for suggestion BR for this week.
If we have a “mom” (spelt “mum” where I live), then clearly they weren’t as hard to penetrate as we thought… APCs on the other hand can eat up entire Panzerfaust ammunitions and still drive off completely fine.
I feel like BR III would be perfectly fine. TDs honestly need to be one BR below what they currently are. Otherwise, they’re sorta useless when a 76 Sherman does almost the same thing.
Immediately dropping the M18 straight to BR2 is kind of premature but I do think that lowering it to at least BR 3 is a perfectly fine thing. I mean the M18’s gun basically has the same performance as the 75mm L/48s on the BR3 Panzer 4s and those things get to be actual tanks with actual armour protection and actual coax MGs unlike the M18.
Since, M10 is ok in br II because who gives a shit it is kinda slow, turret rotation is slow, it is open top and has paper armor, it is very killeable in low br.
M18 on the other hand it is still killeable, but it is faster and it has better turret rotation, also, it gets to possibly fight Tiger I H and Panters if uptiered.
M36 Gets to fight King Tiger if uptiered so it is ok, still has all the weaknesses of the M18 while being a little bit slower.
