US gets short barrel 75 T1 and long barrel at T2,where is this supposed balance?

They can, but for my luck they never did, either bailed, gone down with the tank or 3rd player’s interference saved them. Right now, though (or even before the merge), they are pretty rare as most either take LT’s or go straight to the 26’s.

I seriously don’t see the problem. Not a whole lot of difference in capabilities between 1-3

Yes, that was the fun part about Lend-Lease

Unfortunately, now it just means I’m fighting against better players in the same tank as me half the time in War Thunder because of it

Oh no, a bolt action and a severely neutered semi in the same match?! Someone DO SOMETHING!

Fighting a Sherman? Aim for the transmission. Half the time in WT, APCBC shells skip off the top of the transmission and straight into my dudes. Or just shoot them in the side and instantly detonate the side ammo that low tier Shermans have

Otherwise bring an AT weapon or a plane

I mean shoot, what even is American BR3 SMG’s? Maybe the first Thompson?

And I think we get our BAR’s as well, but of course that’s just an auto rifle pressed into LMG service. Nothing outstanding there far as LMG’s go

So…what’s the issue here?

if I recall ppsh box is already at br3 regardless the pps42/3? Is arguably better option.
Which anyway, both are quite alot better than mp28’s and what else shit you get around br 1-2.

Thanks, rommel. I will act now that I did not know the weakspots, or entire community tbh, that
“flank it” definitely was something new and never ever has it been offered as solution at this forum.
once again, thanks. really.

How ever, that PZ3J/1 has APC, so unless you are mentally challenged with sherman its technically impossible to kill it frontally.

If we’re specifically speaking of tank on tank balance for example. I highly doubt the AT / Plane is relevant to subject.
But with that logic, could bring KT2 to br 1-2 since that can be killed with AT as well, tbh even detpack can kill it.
Or PPsh41 / FG42-2 I mean all you need to do is aim to head faster than the guy with better equipment?

So from equipment / stat point of view, yet again your logic is entirely irrelevant.
Aka your personal feelings hardly is argument when actual stats speaks otherwise.

the balance lies in armor values.

the m8 does have a good gun, but it doesn’t have great armor.

germans and japanese players can use their anti tank rifles or other tanks to destroy it.

center mass

on the other hand, shermans can be destroyed by anti tank cannons peaceable by enginners.

or use the grb 39.

as for the japanese, yeah, you don’t have much to work with beside the engy cannon.

i’d be a fool to claim otherwise.

Japs have the Type 5 rocket launcher as well

correct.

i forgot about that one. even the type 4 which it’s even better

so yeah, for op, use those.

Side note, how the ef do i have the ho ni if i don’t even have the Ho I?

Because the Ho-Ni is unlocked at the same time as a squad that you already unlocked in the older pacific campaign (The squad was coming with another tank in the previous system)

I have never had any problems with this game due to my equipment

Did I wish I had my Normandy stuff in the other campaigns sometimes? Yeah

Did I ever lose due to some “technological inferiority” to the enemy? I don’t believe so. Only incompetent teammates who couldn’t do jack even with superior technology AND superior numbers

If your team does not have a way of killing enemy tanks, then fix the problem and bring something that can kill enemy tanks. I was fighting Panzer III’s and IV’s in Tunisia pre Merge when I was level 14. Guess what I did? I started shoving 1000lb bombs down their throats the moment I unlocked the Dauntless, using explosion packs, and jumping on top of them and penning the roof with the Boys ATR. Not once did I complain about how “superior” the enemy equipment was. The only thing that held me back? Braindead teammates that couldn’t hold or take point to literally save their lives

well that explains, with such narrow minded view you can only think about things that benefits you.

And yet again same sht no one asked for.

Why do everyone ignore how great the pz3N is?

Legacy Stalingrad one still has HEAT shells…

Or in case of doubt, be a really bold Italian chad and Semonvente them with HEAT, which is in regular tech tree.

How narrow minded I am and how things only benefit me? Buddy, I just want you retards to not ruin this game by turning it into War Thunder

The very fact that you are entirely incapable to compare stats.
No one really gives a fk about your personal opinion how you win the sherman with pz2 or not, it is entirely irrelevant to this discussion.

Oh the irony

All I want, is to have some dang variety between matches without being punished based off that desire purely off of what I choose to use

I find fighting the same 3 things to be quite dull, and leads to very predictable outcomes match after match

WT avoids this by randomizing the nations on each time

How will Darkflow address this issue I wonder? I mean, besides removing the absolutely stupid system that is BR

you can enjoy your hero moments in custom games if pz3 v t34 / sherman is what you are looking for.
Others probably are more intrested of balance,

switch br.

Yeah, aint going anywhere.

I don’t want custom battles, I want normal matchmaking

I literally addressed the fact that having to change MY loadout just to fight different enemies is stupid in the first paragraph

And yeah, I’m sure it ain’t. Don’t mean I won’t complain about how stupid it is
