I recently read a post that said the 76 Jumbo is already in the game files. Is this true? If so, I am wondering how will the new best Western Allies(if not the whole game) be added. If it is by premium or event, it will be too op. However, if by normal tech tree, it will be a perfect match to tiger 2 and is 2
if this thing is released before the merge I am going to darkflow HQ and delete it myself

Yeah, absolutely no counter in Normandy ( and Pacific……)
the Dicker Max can’t even pen that thing from the front,and with the 76 it will become the cancer of normandy 2,the electric boogaloo

How exactly is it OP. That you can’t one shot it from the front?
In my experience there is very rarely a lack of opportunities where you’re unable to find a work around to shoot something’s sides
Yep, last match I survive an encounter with a Tiger. The Tiger shot a casual 5 shells. Died to infantry sneaking up and blowing it up in the encounter

The 75 Jumbo has very thick armour. Tigers can hardly deal with it in the front. The 76 Jumbo will mean it is easy to deal with Tigers in the front. Flanking is absolutely an option to a certain extent. A Stuart can pen and kill a tiger if it flanks, but nobody will say that it is better than a Tiger lol. This is why the 75 Jumbo is better than the 76 Shermans,. However, a better cannon is always better and gives more options. For example, a camping tiger can be dealt with the 76 cannon.

but here is the thing,unless you are able to sneak up on him with a tiger or panther and get a side shot off,he will just front face you and shoot you barrel out and harass you until he kills you,this also eliminates the need for the sherman 76,you have the same thing but with way too much armour
But that’s just the basic dynamics of vehicle combat. It usually boils down into who sees who first.
There have been times where I’ve been shot by surprise. And there have been times where I’m the one doing the surprising
Que sera sera
From my personal experience in the Jumbo and the m4a2, when a player is in a superior tank, a shell is basically alerting the player to turn the turret. So for a crappy tank flanking, if it does not one or two shot it is basically dead.
I think very few vehicles are truly outmatched when up against various vehicles, excluding having a Panzer 1 fight a Sherman
It’s like we’ve said, a Stuart certainly can defeat a Tiger if he knows what’s doing
Well a Panther or Panzer can fight a Jumbo if he knows what he’s doing
Another factor we aren’t looking at is the moment to moment actions and decisions. For example, there have been times where I’m in a tank duel and I choose my moment to attack carefully
It’s in the files but not released like many Japanese tanks at least some JP tanks were confirmed that they will come in future update. Jumbo’s armor is too op right now in WT you can pen it frontally with long 75mm and especially 88mm, even crappy Dicker Max’s cannon can pen them most of the time when not angled, so i’m not sure if giving them even more powerful gun is a good idea till they fix their armor.
T54E1
no model so far probably free or event vehicle i hope
105mm sherman
Matilda for soviets (where is my Hedgehog version?)
There are way more tank they could release with the merge or after merge. Most don’t have a model or got deleted from editor for some reason like KV-2.

I’ve said this before but I don’t want to see Dicker Max’s fighting Jumbos
I always say how this game is an awesome WW2 sandbox and that my philosophy is generally historical”+” and I love that it has everything from the famous and mass produced to rare and experimental, but everyone draws their lines differently
For example, I don’t care if the Maus is in game as long as it’s 1945 Germany like Berlin. Because that’s the closest period to it. I wouldn’t want it in Tunisia, I wouldn’t want it in Stalingrad, and I wouldn’t want it in Normandy, Battle of the Bulge, Market Garden.
I don’t care if prototype/ experimental stuff is in game, in fact I love that stuff; but I prefer it stay in whatever period is closest to it. Ok you got some prototype SMG made in 1944, well I don’t want to see it at any point before that. The same can be said in the opposite with some 1941 prototype gun
Point is the Dicker Max should only be in the early Eastern Front, likely ending at Stalingrad

the point was to show even that things 105mm cannon can’t front pen it
So you’re talking about this thing?
with a 76 mm turret from this thing?
also, the jumbo is in no way superior to a tiger. Tiger can still pen it 90% of the time if a tiger user is good at using his tank.

Panther can penetrate Jumbos turret, Tiger can’t - or not really.
I honestly don’t see how the 76 Jumbo would be all that powerful, Panthers should still be able to penetrate its frontal turret, while the 76 Jumbo can do the same. As long as both deal comparable post pen damage it would be fair game - in theory.
I know the devs have messed things up before with their need to micro manage vehicle armor.
