- the nominal armor in tank data is always the maximum armor thickness of that respective armor side (SS: as in, if a frontal hull plate has a small strip of 150mm armor and the rest is 100mm, nominal thickness in tank sheet will be 150), the nominal thickness however doesn’t include things like spaced armor and mantlet

Oh really? So we should take form this that the T29 american heavy has the whole front of the turret 279mm thick(and not just the mantlet)?

Great, now everybody is crying about TDs beeing OP.
Carry on and WG will nerf them.
What will happen?
The same thing as with the arties – high tier TD will still be good, but low tier will get worse than ever.
Result – a lot of people will play meds or heavies instead.
Next round – meds are OP.

For havens sake, adapt to the game, don’t ruin it with your whining.

you forgot the cloaking device ;)
That’s the only thing i complain about… they are (russian/french high tier TDs) near impossible to spot, even with my AFKpanther i had to drive 60-70m close to it, while it was blazing guns…

SS: a player was asking whether it is considered for example for a Object 268 shell to penetrate several MS-1 tanks in a row, destroying them all)

What a remarkably stupid question. How is that even remotely important for real gameplay?

As for the armor, why not just give the armor range for a vehicle, why are we still getting so little information from the client and have to search the web for everything?

I have one of the best anti-td vehicles that you can drive. It’s a FV304. The spg’s short-range mortar-like gun is great for killing td’s at choke points and “arty safe” locations.

Ferdie holding back a flank? Have your FV304 drop a round on the backside of the Ferdie’s top deck and watch that full health td burn down to zero. Have a Hellcat hiding behind a big rock? Allow the FV304 to drop around into the Hellcat’s open turn and kill the entire crew.

Give the FV304 a try. You’ll like it.

For example the space between tracks and the hull.

As a medium player I prefer the Foch 155 against me in some cases since I let some tomato pubbie go get the hits and then I can exploit the reload time.

I detest the 183 with HESH which 1 hit me in my T10 meds a couple of times, the T110E3 which seems impenetrable at ranges longer than 200m due to weakspots, and the Obj. 268 which seems to stay invisible till you actually get to 50m range.

Apart from the turret issue T10 TDs seem to be well rounded (Speed, Armour, Gun, Camo). I have no issues with other tier TDs in general because they usually lack in one or more of the departments making them well rounded.

ISU-152 for example has one of the best guns in game pen, damage wise, lowish acc, no armour, mediocre camo, OK straight line speed.

Obj. 268 has a high pen gun, high alpha gun, high acc, good speed, armour, good camo… WTF?
