If it’s HEAT and it’s balanced out by long reload and bad gun handling, it wouldn’t be /too/ bad. I’d say E 100 is well balanced, the gun wrecks but thanks to it being HEAT it doesn’t cope with angles or spaced armour/tracks well at all and its HEAT pen is little better than most tier 10 tanks’ AP. ~320-340 pen HEAT and a 750 alpha gun with 18-20s reload, .36-.38 accuracy, 2.7s aim, and bad bloom stats could work.

Mind you, the IS-7 has some spectacularly trollish armour, which would probably need to be factored in.

THE 88MM GUN HISTORICALLY DID MORE THAN 240 DAMAGE

Un-fucking-believable.

I’m sure when Wargaming releases the new implaced defence line you’ll be the first to grind it and complain endlessly on all the forums you can find, about all those mean mobile tanks flanking your fortification.

You only play one line, nobody cares about your opinion on other tanks.

Pretty sure that would be APCBC, as the thin “windscreen” ballistic caps didn’t mean shit penetration-wise. And just about all the guns oughta be shooting that shit (usually APCBC-HE-T actually) by default already, as AFAIK that was the “industry standard” of the time.

Glass cannon is kinda useless term because the new 2nd germans have as much HP as the older ones, and the older ones rarely bounce shots anyways. I would say since some of them have turret and decent mobility and camo and usually faster firing more alpha and pen guns, they can be more effective in close quarters. I have met a couple of RHM TDs in my ferdinand, and they usually get me in close quarter battle due to them having a 128mm firing at 5.5 compared to my gun thas has 5 rof, as well as turret, making them be more flexible in brawling where there is partly cover. So I pen them? yes I do, dut so do they since they have 246mm pen.

Mechanical functionality =/= combat value.
Stupid.

For a design whose production started in *1932* it actually did pretty well all things considered. It’s not the hardware’s fault if the army using them is a lobotomised zombie.
