The Bullshit is pileing up higher and even higher...
Iīam gonna tell you some of my thougths about WT during the last 2 hours after i got killed in 3 differend games by M56īs.
While i tried to hold this post rage-free, i gave this topic a little background research and was even more suprised what gayjin got into thier heads... Tell me if you think differently or the same or if i made a mistake in my logic iīve had explained below...
In my opioin BR 6.7 was the last actual WWII BR in warthunder. IS-2īs, KTīs, Pershings etc... nothing to complain about.
That you can get uptierd up to 7.7 BR and facing cold-war-era tanks, well, that happend, but you whered completly helpless and could still hope for a 6.7 BR next game where you can dish out the strongpoints of you 6.7 BR tanks...
But since the last patches, gayjin added stuff like the ASU-85 (slow, clumsy, no turret), T-92 (smal caliber-gun) etc wich where developed and put into service way after 1950 or even 1955, tanks, wich getting HEAT-FS shells wich makes the armor on 6.7 heavy tanks/tankdestroyer obsolete, but well... all these post-war tanks had some kind of weakness wich hindered them to get OP.
That ended with the last patch where gayjin added the M56 tank destroyer into the US-ligth-tank line... i canīt think of any 6.7 tank in this game wich is so miss-placed than this little fucker. It got a 90mm gun, no problem, -10° gun-deression (serious?), itīs super smal, quiet fast, cheap because its counted as a TD (why again itīs in the light-tank-line again?) and getīs HEAT-FS as well... with +300mm pen.
Here is a list of my WTF-thoughts according to this tank:
1. BR 6.7
2. Weight... 7.1 tons for the whole tank while 8.8cm flak 37 on the new german TD on BR 3.7 weigths 5 tons (only the gun)... did they used plastic and glue?
3. Reload of 9.2 sek in the preview so no crew-skill included
4. HEAT-FS with a penetration of a super-nova
4. HEAT-FS wich is suprisingly the fastest shell with 1217m/s... finn-stabilised dosenīt mean that these shells are rocket-prepelled fgs while the airodynamics of the shell itself suck compared to the o ther shells...
5. This tank was designed AFTER the M47 patton (wich is 7.3 BR, see the difference?) and serial-production started 1953... (the first KT-Prototype was delivered in october 1943... 10 fucking years earlyer than the M56 ON THE SAME BR?)
6. Many complained about the M18 tactics to take a deatour around the map, ignoring the enemy, the own team and even the objective to get into the enemy spawn 5minīs after the game started... now iīam asking my self: why did the US got another tank wich does the same even better than on such a low BR?
My idea to solve the Problem: put than damn thing at BR 7.3 at least and spare the late-war BR 6.7 from any other implemention of post-war-tanks!
