If you are thinking about buying Dicker Max to counter Jumbos like in WT then forget it you can’t pen them frontally you need to aim for weak spots as usual. But ain’t it weird how turret with 170mm+ armor is easily penetrable but hull with 150mm or below can’t. I think it’s a bug.
We only have APHE and HE, APHE has just 155mm of pen but still should be able to pen Jumbo with max of 180mm of armor and usually it’s around 120mm, now in Enlisted it behaves like it has 200mm+ of armor which is just broken.
Fix pen of that shell and give us better one like APCBC that we have in WT and then you could add those 76mm Jumbos.
Long 75 and 88 should also pen jumbo. I really hope that they fix jumbo and put it in lower br and give the allies m36 jackson, persing, and super pershing to counter tigers
American 76 cannot pen the Tiger II H frontal armor, while long 88 will go through Jumbo’s armor like it’s nothing.
I love how german mains are like “please nerf jumbo it has too much armor and its 75 mm gun is scary” But when people says that US tanks cannot pen german ones from the front they always are like “just flank it bro”
They need Pershing and Super pershing and long 88 can’t pen Jumbo frontally except mg weakspot this ain’t War thunder just as i explained in my post. Armor is much stronger than it should be.
Did you played the test server ? I can assure you that Tiger II can pen Jumbo. I was getting one shotted in the spawn by some random Tiger II 250 meters away.
I have played a couple of games in the last test server but haven’t encountered a single Jumbo. Are pen values different there or you just got penned through mg port/turret and though it’s a hull shot? I don’t remember devs saying that they will be changing armor/shell values with the merge patch.
Because the jumbo is unlocked way too early at level 20 while the only good german tanks are unlocked at levels 31 and 36. I wouldnt mind dying to pershings as long as i can kill them effectively without having to aim for pixels.
Even PzGr can pen it as long as you will be at same degree or above Jumbo which is not a problem on most Normandy maps since Axis start on the high ground.
Well it can pen Jumbo no problem at least in WT while in Enlisted it’s impossible for some reason, i wish i could see real armor values of Jumbo in this game it’s most likely over 180mm.
on that first image you are shooting where it literally will not pen, nothing wrong with the armor or the shells
Tho the ballistic coefficient is a little different in enlisted, already fixed in the test server
Pretty sure the jumbo was specifically designed as a break through tank that should be able to withstand 88 guns. Long 75 guns haven’t been a thing yet, which is why they can take out jumbos.
thats true? is it actually surviving it on the test servers? lol
that only confirms to me what the devs are doing all the time, they don’t actually follow their own penetration values as described in the game, they have altered it in order to better fit their “balance”.
80% of the tank guns in this game are severely underperforming, while the rest 20% are infantry support guns that are overperforming.
Explosive filler is still too powerful in tank vs tank fight, while penetration stats are worthless.
