Can the USSR researchable faction have a new BR 5 researchable tank to counter the King Tiger?
The Tiger II (H) has a faster reload and a decent gun that is capable of penetrating the frontal armor of the IS-2 (1944). Most importantly, the Tiger II (H) has nearly invincible frontal turret and hull armor.
At BR 5, the USSR needs a worthy opponent to the Tiger II (H) that is equipped with a faster-reloading gun than the current 122 mm. Maybe a 100 mm gun would be a better option for neutralizing infantry and the King Tiger turret armor?
Totally legit, but hear me out.
This game uses asymmetric approach of balancing, that means albeit soviet loses out on tanks, it found it back somewhere else, for example like the exclusive plate armour that’s definitely a huge part, or the Tu2-S bomber, etc.
Tiger IIH is definitely in its own league, but think of it as the deliberate perk of German faction.

At BR5, each faction have their distinctive features :
- Germany gets the better tanks with the KT
- Western allies get an obnoxiously powerfull Air Power
- Soviets get the upper hand in the infantry with above average weapons which other factions dont really have (like Fedorov Avtomat and RD-44) and armor plates
- Japan gets… the dedication of the Emperor I guess (well and access to the best rifle with the type Hei auto, but I am not sure if this is still true) and sword because you absolutly should bring a sword to a gunfight.

Well, I thought we were told that asymmetrical is fun and such.
But sure, we can also add Captured Tiger to the Allies and Soviets since this seems to be the standard response of the devs.
distinctive features that are not so distinctive anymore…
KT is slightly better than super pershing cause of reload, soviet tanks are turtles that are almost impossible to kill with infantry unless you know exact vulnerable spots.
i agree with this, but mostly cause of p47
armor is available on all BR and is not BR5 specific. fedorov avtomat is like type hei AR, but only available to assaulters with 5 bullets less so it is not game changer. i agree about RD44 cause it is basically 100 round AR.
there were suggestions made about 100mm tanks. iirc it was t44-100 and is1-100. knowing soviet bias, it is probably implemented as we speak…

Decard who? No, I have no alt account.
In fact, the disparity in equipment among different factions is not particularly significant. Personally, I think the main reason is that the Soviet BR 5 lacks experienced players. Every time I go to play alone in Soviet BR 5 during the evening in East Asia, I have to be prepared for multiple failures because the strength of the allies is too far behind the Axis powers. I have to rush around like a nanny to prevent the front line from collapsing too quickly.
The Soviet faction was the second longest-playing faction among the four I visited, with the highest kill ratio, but its win rate was the lowest among all the factions.
I wish they will add T-44-100 tank in the researchable tech tree. I desperately need a perfect BR 5 tank for USSR faction.
Oh no best tank of the war is better than other tanks! Must be Nazi bias.
