I was using the jumbo on invasion mission and we had pretty good luck on the first 3 objectives. After clearing the 3rd My Jumbo was in need of repairs and since everyone was moving to the next objective I figured now was a good time to exit.
I was running with a 3 man crew and the moment we exited I was attack by a knife wielding German, who proceeded to murder my commander and gunner. And just as the gunner was being stabbed to death, I saw my AI controlled driver shooting the German at point blank range with his 45.
After repairs my driver by himself got back in the Jumbo and proceeded to the next objective … Unfortunately a Puma did show up to make short work of him but It was a cool moment.
using infantry is the most effective way to take out a tank, personally I enjoy bullying a tank before destroying it if it is isolated for example: going around a t28 lie down go under it and blow myself up
I’m not sure if it’s the engine’s armor pen. calculation in Enlisted compared to War Thunder’s current one but American 75’s would absolutely shred the Panzer IV J and H if Darkflow Studios just gave them the M61 shells that the M72 shells currently used in game were replaced by way before the Normandy campaign began. All it really takes is a slight angle from an enemy tank to completely nullify the 88 mm of pen. done by the M72 at 0°, which is just above the amount needed to punch through the IV H’s 80 mm 11-12° angled front plate even when the game’s reticle tells you that the round should pen. M61 shells would instead offer 101 mm at 100 m at 0° (Source: War Thunder).
As per the M5A1 Rhino, I’m expecting M61 shells to be restricted to event tanks but I really hope they just change it all across the board since the Jumbo wouldn’t even be needed if that were the case. It would also slow down the power creep you see in people rightfully asking for higher penning tank cannons with the Panther D or Tiger E (Which mostly fought in British sectors) to counter it.
What kind of strawman are you trying to argue against here?
I never said anything about the US needing the Jumbo to fight the Tiger (that it couldn’t possibly pen same as the Panther)
if you dont understand then that’s ok, im generous man i’ll explain it carefully even 5 yo kid can understand, tho in the first place i dont say german need tiger to kill jumbo, they just need tiger to make jumbo balanced
author said jumbo is needed to compensate tank limit per match so they can face german cat equally (in this context it’s either panther or tiger)
but these 2 doesnt exist in the campaign which mean author justification is invalid therefore is US having huge advantage from having tank that is more or less equal to tiger because german doesnt have tiger
you say doesnt need tiger to kill jumbo, yes you are right, since you can use TNT, bomb or something except tiger but that’s not the case
by considering the context it’s gonna be Pz4H vs Jumbo, then it’s exactly just i’ve say before many times, the possibility logic, just because both can kill each other doesnt mean it’s balanced, the struggle between both has to be counted too
so if Pz4H want to pen jumbo it has to flank while jumbo dont have to, it’s unbalanced
lol, good luck hitting the gun port until it die while they can just penetrate your entire being effortlessly (obviously hyperbole but you get the idea)
