Caliber has nothing to do with how much penetration a gun has even IRL. The only thing the caliber has an influence on in game and IRL is how big the explosion is with HE rounds. The early Russian 122mm guns perform poorly with penetration because when they fired AP rounds IRL they tended to be on the lower end of penetration when compared to guns the other nations used. Which is why the 122mm guns for the KV-1S and the IS fired primarily HE IRL, the HE shells were so powerful they could knock out a Panther in a single shot and if they hit the seam of the upper front plate the explosion would rip upper plate clean off. Not a big surprise when you consider the fact that the D-25T could bring down a building in one shot.

Anon is right actually. That is a Pz. IV chassis. It’s modified though, most likely to accommodate that giant gun on the top of it and its recoil.

- developers decided to simplify some of the “unneeded” things in WoT and started with removing the bow machinegun weakspots.

what a bunch of morons, yea, like tiger 2, nerf the frontal armour and remove weakspots = less skill to aim for weakspots, you only have to aim at the whole tank..

And i think you forgot the lowest alpha in tier9 td,viewrange as my su85b( 390m isnt a great viewrange,and tds have to get good one),low hp,ridicously thin armor for side,back and roof (that arty and he spammers love) plus two idiotic weakpoints in front that almost anyone can shoot with new precision,makes him balanced,so still no point for me to nerf.

If someone shoots their ufp is their problem,flank,aim for weakspots or wait for arty as any tanker has to do with any tank dealing with high armored vehicles.

You never read/heard how WG programers are limited, aren’t you? It’s not that complex, but for their level of knowledge it’s SCI-FI. And excuse me, but where does it says it’s forbidden to express your opinion here on FTR blog? And since when you are the boss who gets to command people to shut the fuck up? And i don’t really see how flanking is considered that difficult. It should be basic stuff and not some advanced super secret tactics. But i guess it’s easier to “exploit” the game mechanics and kill the poor commanders over and over because he is the unlucky guy who get the cupola position.

The moddeling is the same for both so it’s not easier to implement a real-existing tank than a blue-print one.

Congratz
Now I have to ask you if you can give me the link of the results?…browsing the WoT webpage and forum for 30 mins and couldn’t find anything…even google couldn’t help.

And they are nerfing the regular Foch…why? A balanced French td must be nerfed just because the French get it worse than the Germans.
