I think you are a bit off on this. Even with HVAP vs. armor normalized to 237 BHN at 300mm @ 100m. But 250mm @ 1000m.

“you can imagine why you can’t simply have a gun that can point-and-shoot a damn Tiger 2 square in the frontal plate, can’t you? :)”
Yet Lowe and T34 have exactly that and none complain. I wonder why?

I would surely cry my eyes out that finally SP would have a good point. Not.
Did anyone complain that Lowe is op with 234 penetration?

Armour used to be reasonable(ISU 152 AP hit was able to pen it easily even before the nerf) even if weakspots were prominent and easily hit(not prominent enough for idiots so they nerfed it).
Currently it has no positive attribute…. just a fat turd of a tank.

He was, indeed, however he did say that while Belton Cooper wouldn’t be the best source for knowledge as most of what he writes is hear-say, he did work on the Super Pershing personally so he can say how it is from hands-on experience.

The T15E1 could penetrated 121/2 inches(320mm) of armour at 100 metres and 8 inches (205 mm) at 1000 metres.
It won’t be in WOT any time soon.

I don’t doubt it wasn’t a KT. However, this wasn’t the age where 90% of the population carried a camera. Even given the propaganda of the new tank- a picture is still a relative rarity of the time and location.

A major portion of that WOT forum OP was accounting for locations of every KT. I find it hard to believe that anyone really knew that. Yes, the units that were equipped with the KT weren’t nearby, but a single unit enroute or left in a maint company and put to use might not be on the record.

Going by demarre calculations, the 90mm T15 in theory should be penning in league with the Tiger II.

In reality however, poor shell construction made it’s standard AP significantly worse that what would have been expected

Not like it mattered through, the Panzerwaffe was pretty much broken by the time the Pershings were breaking into western Germany

It actually had the coils for the gun alone, such as seen on the T26E3 conversion model that remained at Aberdeen, the extra armor just made it a bit more difficult

Well that’s because Jingles was citing Death Traps as well for that video
