by the time you break his tracks or barrel, if you have the right perks ( aka faster repair & fast leaving the vehicle ) , you can fix the breach by standing in the back of the turret in less than 4s
which in those 4 seconds you still have to close the distance and considering that US only gets putted in the new battle of the bulge… good luck.
you can’t simply do it.
( at least, the sherman 76 ( more roundy one ) and sherman fireflys are simply unable to even damage the barrel from various angles unless you’re 10 feets away )
Ah ok, so in this particular case, you need to get out to fix it, and in order to fix the barrel you need to be up front where you can get targeted by the tank that damaged the barrel in the first place.
Actually I have more issue playing BR5 german and seeing my fking team with Pz II C and Pz III J while still using the Mauser Bolties, in fking BR5, I refuse to believe the Devs “fixed” their BR system in the last patchnote
But it’s all factions that do this, and due to a dumb flaw of the game:
Nobody likes being minus 2 br tier in a match.
So, don’t blame the faction you don’t play, blame the flawed game design.
Talking about “honour or competitive spirit”, what kind can be found into fighting -2 tiers, either as tier 5 or tier 3? You have some strange definition of it…
On a serious note, the M2 Carbines really really deserve a change to their sight picture - its supposed to fit well into BR5, and there is no balance argument for it having bad sights.
