These 2 currently are in the same que the way it is,and thats just not alright.the T99 is based of the best allied tank in the TT and has more then the rockets seen on the panzerwhefer,and it’s only 1BR higher then it while it’s worse almost every aspect.The thing belongs at BR3,where it has for a while,as the calliope was already much better.it won’t be OP at BR3 since you die from anything really easily (even artillery kills you) and the rockets are quite limited,with only 20 rockets loaded 10 at a time.

Ever since it meets soviet tank it is just awful to play as it cant even pen the turret ring of those unlike on their western counterpart. Beeing unable to quickly kill the enemy tank makes this entire tank bad to play so BR 3 is the least they can do to make it a bit more appealing.

I’d rather the newbies in I and II not have to deal with rocket spam, thanks

1 dosn’t fight 3 anymore,and anything from 1 and 2 can easily destroy it.you say you don’t want noobs to deal with rocket spam,but what about the P38s?those terrorize low BR quite frequently with the M8s

6 M8’s aren’t comparable to 20 of whatever the frick them things are. M8’s are super weak rockets with a small blast radius. Probably second weakest rocket in the game if I had to guess

From my experience they aren’t that weak and kill quite nicely,and yes they are the second weakes,behind the 85mm soviet rocket,while those are 118mm I think.the german one is 158mm I think,and while it is stronger,the downsides of the veichle heavily outweigh the rocket’s preformance,you only get 20 compared to 60 on the calliope and 40 on the T99,bad optics,MG with limited traverse that overheats too fast,paper thin armour,and you have to pay the same as the calliope .I’ve used both plenty,and the calliope is definitely the much better one.
They oh so badly need to rework overheat entirely

Well yeah. It’s a Sherman with a cigarette box of rockets strapped to the top. The only downside is the lack of .50, which the Pershing fixes!
Newbies have M1 and can destroy it without a SINGLE PROBLEM. Besides every single BR2 tank with APHE going to nuke it in a single hit. You have never played Panzerwerfer 42 if you think it’s that powerful. It can’t even shoot it’s MG for more than a few seconds you are completely defenceless when someone gets closer.

I’ve been on the receiving end when someone was gray zone camping out of sight with it. Decimating everyone until I eventually found where it was from the sky and blew it straight to the fiery depths
Try getting into position to use them without:
- getting strafed
- shot at by AT rifles
- nuked by a tank
- swarmed by infantry
- hitting a fence blowing them up in your face
- existing on the same map as a T34 you cant even scratch.
- random explosion wiping your crew
- having your engine killed with the launcher just facing a wall.

Not my fault the Eastern Front has poor sight lines. That thing was a pain to deal with in Normandy when you couldn’t see where the rockets were coming from half the time
And the same thing happens with the calliope,one game I sat in they greyzone with the middle objective in the mountain pass map and kept shelling the building and got many kills.It’s a lot easier to do it when you have an actual cannon and a ton of rockets.
And so they are both BR IV
Same can be done with a short 75mm but those actually have armor.

You won’t be murdering a lot of people with that thing since it has just 20 rockets and MG that overheats after 3secs. And just like you just said you can easily destroy it with a plane. You have now way more counters against that thing than when it was released now it got completely power creeped.
You can’t even use your gunner sights when you are aiming straight, your hull will block the view.

You get so much more potential out of the calliope,you have an actual cannon with amazing HE as well as 60 rockets.the panzerwhefer gets only those 20 rockets then you have to use the shitty MG42 to get any more use of the thing.

So how many tanks did the Germans mount rockets to?
Well, IF super pershing becomes TT, then this Pershing would be fair game, since you choose between AI firepower vs AT firepower - its a balanced trade off.
Calliope on the other hand is a full fetched BR3 Sherman, so it being BR3 would be a bit unfair, since it would be a straight upgrade to an already top pick of its BR.
Panzerwerfer however? I honestly have no idea about where it should fit…
