T-28 is a big turn off

Mess Room
1

I have not tested it in battle yet, but I have tested it in practice and it only has shrapnel and HE on offer. - The Shrapnel does jack sh1t to enemy tanks. I thought there was an APHE shell for the T28 or does it need research like War thunder??

  • Survivability is not great as the T-28 is visible from 9 kms away due to its size. Weak armour is also a big problem for this vehicle, enemies can destroy the T28 easily with explosion packs, mines and AT stuff.

So I have decided to stick with my T-50 for now. Is the T-28E any better than the normal T-28? Should I get it or just skip through and get the T-34?

Any advice or recommendations will be appreciated.

T 28e is better than t50 imo. The 76mm cannon is great against infantry

How about anti tank abilities? The shrapnel shell definitely doesnt do it any favours

The T-28E has APHE, but not the normal one

T-28 “E” wrecks all comers

just use the T-28E, one of the best tanks of BR2, absolute beast.
Only the Panzer III N and HO-I can compete with it in the BR.

T28E is definitely better. In fact, it’s the best you have.

I think the only problem that Soviet BR2 vehicles have, is that German BR1 - BR3 vehicles most have 50mm of armor. Panzer IIIJ is just as strong armored as STUG III F.

So a tanker will need to adapt and watch out for people who know how to angle their Panzers.

except that turret cheek is nearly always 1 shot kill :stuck_out_tongue: (with 76mm 150 grams HE filler)

Indeed - I however have 3 Panzer III J in my BR1 line up, which I play quite often and with bit of luck you actually CAN wiggle your turret and force the enemy to shoot at it while angled. Not reliable because you have to shoot also - but it still can bounce.

I just keep driving in some direction so they cant lock on weak spots.

T-28E is way better than T-28 cause Shrapnel shell is pure shit.
can’t do anti-tank job, and the anti-personal ability is a lie.

T-50 have average ability, immune to most BRI tanks, but not outstanding in BR2.

None of these tanks compare well to PZIII N.
just use P-40, IL-2 or Su-2 in your vehicle slot.

Isn’t that the one with a bazillion machine guns? Great tank! Stop whining! :rofl:
I do agree with MR that the pz3 will usually smoke it. Russian tank life is far better at BR3.
T-28 is a great infantry interceptor.

Well, soviets do have great tanks options even for BR2. But majority of them are behind paywall or completely unavailable.

Like SU-76, M-3 medium, BT-7 (76)… Or even valentine. I prefer it over T-50 for the simple fact of having functional hatch.

If I was rich like Adam, yes I would have Valentine. Does that even have HE? The British were notorious for only AP in tanks. If they gave Matilda HE I am pretty sure she never had it. Some Valentines may have. I call those the turtle tanks. I think you can test them in the range. Wait for the 2 big sales coming.

T-50 has the best armour protection on BR2 after M3 grant/Lee

sure the 45mm HE is lacklustre but dont underestimate the dual MGs of the T-50.
It is a fact that T-28 has much better HE, but I also prefer T-28E for anti tank because it has more HE filler in AP shells so it can destroy most BR1-2 tanks in one shot.
