Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design. Many thanks

Yeah, 200mm pen is too much. Maybe increase it on par with the regular Pershing(180mm) and then buff the mobility a bit.

You can’t one shot a tank at 800 meters with a BDR because you can’t see anything at that distance.

JagdTiger 88 is better for mad bank purposes

I personally always found the t26e4 one of my above average tanks. It current rides a 60% win loss in my garage and that is without throwing around premium rounds left and right, which makes this tank dominating.

I believe people just do not really understand how to play such an odd tank. There are many mentions of how it can’t stand up against heavies. Which clearly isn’t what you should be doing in the first place. Ultimately if you ARE pitted against the front of say and IS-3 or Tiger 2 all you have to do to gain the upper hand is pull out gold rounds, which are extremely effective when compared to other gold rounds of this tier.

A penetration buff would easily make this tank much easier to play for those who don’t know how to play it.

IMO a slight buff to the tanks mobility and speed would help it do what it should be doing. Flanking and trading shots with medium tanks, where its armor is robust and effective. This can be provided by buffing the horsepower slightly and or removing some weight.(WG is removing armor now!, gotta take into account the loss of weight that way! ;D)

The people that already don’t know how to drive the tank probably will not be pleased if they buff the mobility because it still wont be blazing fast or effective against heavy tanks. (firepower of a medium doesn’t belong in front fighting the big boys)

As far as I know, BDR doesn’t have a DERP gun, it’s a regular 90mm gun firing AP/APCR ammunition. And one-shooting some tank is quite rare, but it happens. Either you hit his ammo rack, or several shots hit him in one second thus making it looking like a ammo racking.

so much talk about Buff and Nerf but I think what we need in the game is that the penetration potential of each gun varies with the distance to the target
some might say this is asking for a more realistic game but I think it’s needed because right now you can just hide a smaller medium or heavy tank that has a powerfull gun and keep shooting over 600m away from the target and still one-shot him
I’ve done that with the BDR G1B 90mm and the T-150 122mm DERP guns
I’ve even one-shoted a KV-1 with the BDR at over 800m away from him

It’s strange to one-shot a heavy tank with a DERP gun from 500+m away or to have full pen potential with a short barreled and/or small caliber gun at the same distance

@Elmis

B.F.E.? You mean Big Fucking Engine? Nice :-). And yes, in the name of historical accuracy, I won’t mind the armor nerf with it’s (real) 500hp Ford GAF engine compensated by historically accurate gun penetration values and accuracy.

If they are “trying” to be historic putting a B.F.E in the thing is hardly going to improve the realism…
