actually it still has 2x spaced armor, but the second armor`s angle has been changed (which is…a nerf itself). now even the 8,8 cm KwK 43 L/71 can penetrate its frontal armor

and once you turn your turret sideways you expose a gigantic weakspot, because the side parts of the spaced turret armor doesnt cover most of the lower turret area and such from that angle, making you a splendid target.

The Super Pershing is a lost case, it just does not work as intended, never did, wont ever again either…

Umm… The extra weight is like 60KG, or about 132 pounds, less than a cammo net. Not really anything to even worry about…

The weight is not directly calculated in-game; it would be kind of silly if every single component inside the tank had to be modeled just so the game could add up all the weight. In reality the weight is just a number assigned to the tank by Wargaming based on their research.

Based on this I’d say that they determined that the Super Pershing’s weight number was a bit lower than in reality and so they decided to bump it up a bit to what it should have been. 60 kg doesn’t really matter anyway.

Seems easier to pen SP in test server even with 75 L70 at 300m distance. Maybe just luck?

LOL no pen buff? Fuck that, I’m selling it then. Armor was the only thing going for it and it wasn’t THAT great to begin with if someone knew where to shoot.

Steel Wall and Spartan easily achieved. Don’t be afraid, there really is no nerf.
I let JadgTig8.8 to shoot at me.

Except that tank is a T26E1, which is what they modeled the tank in game after, yet they claim it’s a T26E4, vastly different looking (no giant gun springs etc, they fixed that in the E4)

Yeah but you can’t deny that he has a point about the SU-122-44, which I have myself. I ROUTINELY kill tier IXs with it, including Heavies (though I don’t usually go for the Heavies, instead letting my higher-tiered teammates hit them while I pick off the Mediums and Tank Destroyers), and that’s mostly because what your AP won’t pen, your HE usually will still do sizable damage to, and you can still pen the sides of pretty much anything at tier IX (though Soviet tanks like the IS-8 have proven an annoyance due to their low profile).
