Exactly. That’s what makes it funny.

Who gives a shit about graphics! As long as the game plays well, graphics are almost irrelevant by comparison!

And that doesn’t even explain a random Hellcat thrown into a tier IV battle…

Yeah but they have autoloaders. ‘Nuff said.

I don’t know about that; I’ve played both the Soviet TDs and German TDs, and I have a consistently higher WR with the Soviet ones (my SU-85B has a whopping 85% win rate alone). The only explanation:

Camouflage.

The Soviet TDs have the best camouflage in-game, at the expense of armor and a shorter-than-average view range on most of their TDs.

To be fair even for all its disadvantages the E-75 is STILL considered to be the best Heavy in-tier due to its all-around protection and decent top gun (which is powerful in its tier but is anemic at tier X, where the Maus is stuck with it and the E-100 gets it stock).

Also, this is just my opinion: the Panzer IC isn’t a tank, it’s a motorcycle, and an even more annoying pest than the T-50-2 ever was.

That being said, those two tanks, the StuG III and the E-100 (the latter only if you spam 15 cm HEAT in Clan Wars, and even then it’s purely situational) are pretty much the only things the line has going for it. I’d include the Panzer IV, but there’s nothing it can do that the M4 Sherman can’t do better after the Schmallturm and L70 were removed from it.

WG would probably include speed bleed for them anyways for “balance”. If they don’t do that, then they’ll given them a chance to roll over in high-speed turns, like a wheeled-vehicle irl.

That could be quite amusing actually, seeing the other team’s scouts all suddenly showing up as “dead” because they rolled over while making a sharp turn. It’d certainly make it easier for SPGs and Tank Destroyers to do their jobs. XD

A Sniper compared to Soviet guns, huh? I’d like to direct you to this bit of info on the SU-85′s top gun: the 85 mm D-5S-85M:

0.34 accuracy. That’s comparable to any of the guns that the Germans get in that same tier.

Well considering that it (and its Chinese copy, the Type 59) is still used by some countries even today…

Let’s see, here’s some examples:

The IS, and by extension the Chinese IS-2 (which is a contender for second-best tier VII Heavy, behind the T29)

The M4 (the 105 mm Howitzer has made the tank quite popular for stat padding at mid tiers since it can one-shot many of its opponents with that gun; it can be argued that it’s BETTER in the game than it was irl)

The StuG III (considered the best German tank destroyer of World War II by many, and is arguably the best TD of its tier, though this is debatable as you have the comparable SU-85 and the slower but more rugged SC35A)

The Hetzer (Hetzers Gonna Hetz, ’nuff said)
