t34 vs panther
To be honest, BR4 isn’t a big trash bin. BR5 is (a paradise for fully automatic weapons and a hell for World War II scenarios). Due to BR5, BR4 has been left unattended. BR3 is still matched with BR2. According to this theory, the most bullied one should be BR1 because they always encounter BR2. Hahaha. We never discuss BR1, but new players are suffering in it.
Yes, BR1 is hell, but it’s easy to get out of it, you just need to play about 10 hands to research the good weapons of BR2.
I will say we hold out yet because there is announced changes to the matchmaker coming, because if there is going to be a new feature to lock gear to certain BRs, as was hinted at with the jet aircraft, we could place vehicles like the Su-85 at BR 3 to offer a counter to it while not impeding into BR 2.
There are many weapons that need to be adjusted and the opportunity to play is needed.
STG45, Mkb42, Kiraly, PPS-41/PPD drum and Thompson 50 being forced to fight at BR5 is just dumb. Fedorov would be too strong at BR4 only after nerfs it could be placed there. Also
is so awful that it needs to go down in BR to 4 if not 3 it can’t hit anything with it’s burst it’s useless of a weapon. Semi is also crappy and way less accurate vs Breda PG or Mondragon or FG42.
is IS-2 vs King Tiger better ?
The IS2 is weaker against infantry than the Tiger E or Tiger H1, but the Panther is a much better version of the T34, both against tanks and infantry.
What IS - 2 reloads 3000 years I prefer T-34 vs Panther but they can put IS-1 to BR IV also
So technically the BR3 with suggested changes would be the new BR4 that suffers from powercreep
Well the power creep between 4 and 5 is much bigger then between 3 and 4 since you have semi autos a BR III and BR IV but at BR V 9 guys with automatic rifles is a big power creep then you have insane LMGs …
I agree that BR 4 should be the top WW2 regular stuff, and BR 5 can keep the barely used designs and prototypes, so near post war tanks or barely used ones can stay there along with assault rifles and battle rifles and other prototypes.
cringe, the German tank enthusiast in my closet doesnt like this comparison - Germany adapted sloped armor because of T34 tanks - but other than that Panthers have nothing in common with T34s, despite being tanks of course.
I meant in terms of in-game functionality, not design, better armor, more powerful weapons, reload time and ammo that are almost equal.
Panther does have some things that make it very different, first, it has very strong frontal armor - but only tiny 16mm top and bottom armor, and side armor is also very weak, also T34 has much better mobility - especially reverse speed is horrible on Panthers.
Panther also got a top mounted MG, so basically, Panther has better anti infantry power AND anti tank power AND armor - but has poor mobility and bad protection against TNT and aircraft guns and small bombs, in other words Panther is a sniper, T34 is a breakthrough tank.
Unfortunately, most people use all tanks as snipers, infantry never supports tanks.
I think this also has to do with map structure and how tanks dont spawn in the same “line” with infantry, also AI is useless past 50 meters, which makes walking past the frontline and attacking tanks very easy, unless the tanker himself knows how to defend himself.
that’s not true and you know it, Panther’s HE has barely any TNT filler in their APHE round
yeah weapons like the mkbh2h and hyde dont belong in br5, and the mkb42h does not outclass the 50 round thomson
Not going to hold my breath. This is the same crap they did with WT. Cold war expansion is the only way they can go because there is a finite number of “marketable” weapons they can use in the WW2 era. Mark my words, you are bout a year away from AK-47 and M-16’s.
