Ok, I’m not trying to start anything but, I do believe the Ferdinand should be put back into BR IV due to the several limitations it has. The Ferdinand is slow, however has thick frontal armor, now the current problem is that the current BR IV tanks are going to have a hard time penetrating it’s frontal armor. However, infantry and the Ferdinands lack of mobility serve as several death flags for the Ferdinand. Infantry can and will easily spot it on the battlefield and proceed to throw grenades, and any other destructive items they have equipped at it. The Ferdinand being without an MG will lack the ability to really counter any infantry charging at it. Tanks on the other hand can get behind the Ferdind and target it’s weak spots. Since the Ferdinand is slow, and has a fixed turret if the player can’t turn fast enough their toast. Now putting it into BR V via public decision is fine, however I feel like adding the Elephant and moving the Ferdinand down to BR IV while the Elephant serves as it’s replacement in BR V would be more optimal. Being as the Elephant gets an MG to counter infantry, something the Ferdinand lacks. In theory the Ferdinands overall weakness is that infantry can easily counter it due to it’s lack of anti-infantry measures. Now I’d like to hear everyones thoughts on this topic so please reply.

As funny as I think it is that the Ferdinand could have been BR4, it is a BR5 vehicle and it’ll be where it belongs

I tested ferdinands armor in editor and no br 4 tank could reliably kill it from the front. Even br 5 tanks had issues sometimes. It definitely belongs in br 5
I voted no. As much as i would like to have it at br4, it would be best to see how it plays overall. We dont need a repeat of the tiger 2 sitting in the back of the map where nothing could touch them

No longer a legit argument since there’s literally a special class to counter greyzone campers.
