Nashorn should be moved to BR3

Patchett - Base damage 5.5->5.7 Muzzle velocity: 370->390 RoF: 600->580

That’s what it should be… at a minimum… preferably another point-one base damage, and slightly less dispersion, but at least the velocity and RoF stats should get corrected…

Yes, I have fully accepted my position as the guy obsessed with the Patchett here on the Forum, and I will be threatening a 4th suggestion, if it becomes nessesary…

Yes you are right, Panther has a BR2 gun, Panzer IV H a BR3 gun and Panzer IV F1 has a BR5 gun.

Though they are different, their penetration is more than sufficient, so there is no need to tell them apart. The American 75mm gun with 100mm penetration and the Soviet 76mm gun, which tops out at 86mm penetration, differ only slightly.
In short, they trade fragile armor for high penetration. Any excess penetration can be ignored. Since they can already pierce armor below BR3, even a penetration rating of 150mm is overkill and barely affects the battle outcome.

Those vehicles basically play the exact same. You have excellent firepower at the expense of dying to HE shells, any kind of plane strafe, and literally AT rifles

88mm gun with ~6 seconds reload speed on BR 3 already deletes every tank it would faces. The only exception would be Jumbo sherman and that’s about it. Ask yourself a question that would you like to drive Nashorn on BR 4 rather than drive flakbus on BR 3 with better reload speed.

Well, the thing that you arent realising is that, Nashorn would actually perform worse in BR3 than in BR4 - specifically because the lower your BR gets, the faster enemy tanks reload. Dicker max does not have the same penetration power of Nashorn. The power increase can be compared to Panzer IV H to Panther.

88 long is practically the best tank gun in the game, at least in anti tank performance.

BR4 is perfect for Nashorn.

Obviously there is, Tiger I will need to aim for weakspots when fighting IS2 and Superpershing.

Long 88 just deletes max tier tanks.

Failed logic every time. Vehicles can’t be placed solely because of other vehicle’s position or only the 4 strongest vehicles would be above BR1. All others would be parked in BR1.

That’s factually wrong tho. Nashorn will have much worse time on BR 4 not because of enemy tanks reload faster but the overall battlefield environment becomes far, far worse especially for open-topped vehicles. Think how much HE spam gets done on BR 5 especially against USA and how much BR 4 gets dragged into BR 5 games rather than downtiered into BR 3 games, then you will understand this.

Then pray tell, what’s your perfect logic for this? Put vehicles in the same BR or even BR above anyway despite it obviously under performs compared to other vehicles on the same BR?

So does KV2 at BR3, if the gun alone is the massive issue here.

And the KV2 has actual armour instead of a thin sheet of metal that just makes sure you don’t see the shell coming.
