It is not exactly an E1, check the wheels, they made cock up with model.
D-5T and S-53, in game, are not identical guns, and their performance is different.
And after 76mm S-54 buff, D-5T become worst than both 85mm S-53 and 76mm S-54.

For the record, the M48 we have is a M48A1E1, an early trialed M48A1 with the 105mm. The D-5T and the S-53 also had the exact same performance anyways.

HEAT falls flat on its face already on things like suspension hitboxes and six-millimeter mudflaps AFAIK which the kinetics pretty much don’t even notice most of the time.
So, yeah.

100mm ZUBK-4 was introduced in 1961.
Year of equipment used is bollocks, and on some tanks it outreach limit WG claim to use.
For example 105mm M68 gun on M48 Patton was fitted in 1970s, while some tanks carry guns, they never had, while some lacks historical guns (FV4202 never had 105mm, while for example, on T-34/85, you can’t find D-5T, gun mounted on early T-34/85 versions, but there are S-54 and U-11, what were not even ment to be fitted on it, and so on…).

You also have T-54 clones with good turrets and decent gun depression, like the Type-59, but I won’t even go there. That’s an entirely different can of worms..Fact is, with the exception of bad (but workable) gun depression, the T-54 really has no weaknesses. It’s good at everything. And that’s why stat padders adore it.

I still don’t see TDs as owning anything. Well-played mediums are still the most versatile class in the game. A good medium group will win a game regardless of how many TDs there are. There are of course massively OP TDs like the WTF E-100 that people complain about, but overall TDs are fine as far as I’m concerned.

Everything fails at spaced armor in one wonky way or another.

See the JpE-100 vs Tetrarch video again.

And then fail massively on anything with spaced armour. :|

Good luck hull-downing with 5-degree gundep. The buggers are certainly extremely annoying – as in, US heavy level annoying – when they *can* find a spot allowing that, but those don’t exactly grow in trees.

And I thought high-tier battles were supposed to be dominated by TDs with their ERMAHGERD OHRP monster guns and autoloaders with their MOAR OP magazines (making Foch 155 and WTFE-100 the OPius Maximus), make up your minds already people.
