Theres a way when they are attacking, run close to it when they cap the point, then wait for him to get close and boom, your sacrifice will be great.

By this logic, no tank is ever a problem.
(Which we all know is not the case)
It could have APDS with 220mm pen, APCBC with 152mm pen or AP with 137mm pen. It’s very fast, though it’s armor is meh if I remember correctly. Basically a cromwell++
Doesn’t matter. No historically accurate tank (jumbo isn’t really accurate) the alllies had there had enough armor to stop anything german. And the helllcat is very fast and agile with a fairly low profile.
well most of the people here just stay in one place so i don’t think the speed will be a plus, now for people like me who love to flank and move around (if the map allow it) is perfect.
that would be aweome, most of the tanks are huge, and is hard to hide and ambush someone.
no i tried to be nice once it doesn’t work
If we compare this game to real life there is always one main thing we have to consider:
“combat distance” - because usually you would say that a T34 85 and Sherman 76 should be a lot inferior to Tiger and Panther tanks because most tank engagements took place at above 500m distance, many even at 2000m distance- while what we get in the game are combat distances at under 300 meters. This is because at distance tank guns lose velocity and thus penetration power.
This alone evens a lot of things out, while the Tiger and Panther tanks would easily destroy shermans and T34s at thousands of meter distance all while it being basically very well protected, at close combat who shoots first usually wins tho.
Actually the new sherman tank with its gun stabilizer could become the new “top” tier vehicles, while its gun will suffer at penetrating Panthers frontal armor / Tigers angled frontal armor… it will easily pen and “possibly” get the first good hit done because it can drive and be precise at the same time.
All you need to do in order to take out Panthers and Tigers is hit the turret.

If we compare pure gun stats and look for straight up " can tank 1 penetrate tank 2"
we can still come to the conclusion that these tanks are indeed “basically” equal.
Panther, Firefly, Jackson, Comet, Pershing, Tiger, IS 2
Now sure some of these tanks are “overall” better or have traits that might give them the “upper hand” … but overall if one of them shoots first, it will usually mean the target its hitting will be out of the fight, at least thats how it was in real life.
Yeah but here it doesnt, I mean theorically it should, but it doesnt, It some times do, some times doesnt
It has to be a bait lmao what the fuck did I just read, dumbest shit ever

“Yokes” are meant to be funny arent they?
Well, you answered your own doubts. It is a plus, cause even though it won’t be another “sit in one place and farm kills tank”, the speed is a benefit better players can make use of.

Omg gaikin, this game is unplayable, unplayable, why my indistructible P-47 has only 10 rockets, it should have like 20, and also why fighters only have 2 500lbs bombs man, they just get outmatched by every axis plane, those mighty 50 kilo bombs are destroying our tanks, they land right at the side of the tanks and they blow up the tracks, how unfair

I don’t undertstand what you’re trying to tell me here?
I’d suggest it as a Tiger 2 counter, cause it’s the bast thing to put as one.
And yeah, while it’ll overall perform worse, it’ll be a good enough counter. Which is alright, cause the allies get better planes (Tempest when?).
Eh Well. Erika was “nice” (well nicer than me) to you and you were not nice to her for no reason…
Maybe im worng but i think distance is important here. Can’t remember when, but i was using my rhino and i destroyed a panzer iv from the side but, when i shooted hiding in the bushes far away i did nothing, but when i was close to it, i was able to do some damage. maybe i was lucky?
well basically, if we counter in “special ammo” I could even argue that a Panther can be a Tiger II counter, because its “tungsten” ammo also had almost 200mm of penetration.
Then again, knowing about how these AP rounds work in warthunder, they would most likely perform pretty bad.

Not even that. In War Thunder you can see that Panther glacis armor is always better than Tiger armor - even if angled. The only plus I see for the gun. Less penetration but possibly better post pen damage and HE effect.
The only viable choice for the allies that I see is to add the Firefly to the campaign tree or keep using their superior attacker planes to deal with that.

wouldn’t say superior since the bf110g-2 is extremely fucking good and honestly about the same as the thunderbolt but at a much lower level
I WASNT MEAN TO HER but others yes
Caps lock doesnt make anything better.

tanks are just toys in this game anyway. No excuse to play on them if you can push points and kill 10x more people (plus destroy dozens of enemy tanks with explosive packs) by playing as infantry and actually being competent
