Kugelblitz is actually crazy good

It’s broken for BR3, p2w

It’s obvious that the ammo capacity needs to be cut and the reload time increased.
I often run into that tank—the most toxic one of the lot.

I think it specifically deleting BR2 tanks in miliseconds should make it a candidate for BR4. Then again… its not more unfair than KV1 in this regard…

In reality, it may even need to be transferred to 4BR, but it still needs to be fixed.

I like that we have to buy premium squad to have a proper counter towards jets.

Maybe armor piercing rounds with gold against bodyarmors next

Kugel is perfectly balanced. Don’t touch it.

YMMV but I found being forced to exist as infantry in the same match as a Kugelblitz to be about as fun as pancreatic cancer.

And you can only get them from the gold chests.

because 75 m3, 76 L11 or 75 kwk 40 can’t?

Clearly this is very diffrent as those guns can also kill BR 3 and thus should be moved to BR 5 and not just BR 4 then (according to his logic).

To be fair, those guns aren’t magazine fed and have to reload after every shot, you can’t just go around instantly spraying everything you see. It’s like how a machine gun is more powerful than a bolt action rifle even though the latter technically can instantly delete an infantryman.

Exept in that case you are comparing the machine gun to an rmn-50. Both are powerfull just in a diffrent way.
Larger HE is better for room clearing but rapid fire is better at denying a corridor.

7.5cm guns aren’t fully automatic

They can destroy any BR2 tank in one hit, what’s your point? That you can spam it on your way to the tank? That it doesn’t require a switch from HE?

Yup doesn’t translate too well to Enlisted, little bit map dependent but usually tanks are a fair margin less strong than in WT.

To me, they should have put this vehicle up for sale, rather than the one on the Sherman chassis that nobody wants.
The Crusader AA Mk II or Mk III was a British self-propelled anti-aircraft gun from the Second World War. The vehicle was armed with a twin mount of two 20mm guns (Oerlikon or Polsten) housed in a special open-topped turret.
Variants equipped with twin 20mm cannons (Mk II and Mk III, as shown in the photo) accounted for the bulk of production, with around 330–400 units built.
Serial production of the anti-aircraft variants of the Crusader tank took place in 1943–1944. While the tank’s base tracked platform had been manufactured earlier (between 1941 and 1943), the conversion and assembly of the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG) versions were carried out toward the end of the vehicle’s service life to support the Allied landings in Normandy.
Gun Ammunition Feed and Stowage: The shells were loaded into separate magazines (clips) with a capacity of 60 rounds per gun (some sources mention a paired magazine holding 120 rounds for both barrels).
The technical (cyclic) rate of fire of the guns mounted on the Crusader III AA Mk.II was approximately 450 rounds per minute per barrel. Since the vehicle was equipped with a twin-gun mount, the combined rate of fire reached 900 rounds per minute.
Ammunition load: The vehicle’s total carried ammunition supply amounted to 1,200 rounds (some were loaded into combat-ready magazines, while the rest were stored in racks within the hull).

Would have been better in several ways tbh.

Personally, I think the Sherman’s AA vehicle should be swapped out—remove the current one and add this one instead, so it doesn’t feel unfair.

Well Kugelblitz is definitely better than the Sherman AA. Both in AA and anti ground targets. That being said, moving it to BR2 is out of question because of its armor. So either Kugelblitz needs to move to BR4, or it could get nerfed, reload speed for example.

Crusader has very poor armor, a AA Crusader could be a fine BR2 candidate.
