I’ve got two tests to run then. I want to fire a shell from my JPZE100 and hit the ground underneath an ELC AMX. Then I’m gonna need a bunch of T2 light tanks in a circle and send a Sturmtiger shell into the center lol

in other words, its not a render problem, but is a rendering engine problem.

I have many tanks unlocked and almost never bought a tank right after researching it so I rarely experienced getting pref. MM.

so if you didn’t buy it within a few days after unlocking it, you won’t get the pref. MM.

That loading gold ammo becomes necessary proves the point: the gun is bad at tier 4. It has far below average penetration, and the accuracy is too poor to hit weak spots consistently at ranges that won’t get you murdered by tanks with better guns and/or drivers who have even an inkling of what they’re doing.

Alright, taking cover is fine for artillery. What do you do about TDs, ask them politely not to go through your turret face like it’s made of delicious peanut butter, while you flail weakly against their armor? And please, tell me more about using terrain most effectively with all of that glorious Soviet gun depression.

The tank in this configuration is bad, mainly due to the gun. If you can do well in it, cool, that’s great. People like (somehow) and can do well in the M3 Lee as well, but that doesn’t change it being terrible in most aspects.
