Of course it won’t.

When the Type 59 was releaseed, it saw tier 5 tanks, had much better acceleration and wasn’t penned as often through THAT turret because premium shells cost real gold.

To top it off, if you wanted a money-making premium you really only had the choice of the Type, the KV-5 (considered pretty bad back in the day) and the Lowe. So two slow as hell tanks or a fun to play medium. Now there are tons of high-tier premium tanks to choose from.

So a T-44 with a worse gun, thinner turret armour (and worrse angles), lower top speed and potentially worse gun depression is never going to lead to hordes of them roaming the battle field, even if they give it decent acceleration (which is what everyone is crying out for in a high-tier medium prem).

Plus there is no way WG will make it slow….Look at T62a when we first saw it we were like “Finally a slower Rus tank that isnt op in everyway” Then all the sudden this 580 HP tank was much faster than our 800 HP pattons and we knew, they would never hurt these bread and butter tanks.

IS3 will never suck
704 will never suck
T54 will never suck
140/62a/T10 med will never suck

Far to iconic for 90% of there playerbase.

I guarantee this tank will be the most common tank in game after 6 months
Like the Lowe and T59 was in opening

T54 has Railgun like accuracy when in full movement or turret traverse and spits out 330mm HEAT rounds every 7 secs. Basically a T54 can truly fight a M48+E50m+FV4202 and have a great chance of winning and if smart bouncing 50%….Lol what other 9 can eat up T10 meds, murder T10 Heavies and Pen T10`s all while dominating its own class? Most times tanks are great at one thing but bad at another, like HUGE PEN but bad gun handling.

Like a T32 is the best tank there is ingame vs lower tiers aka a bully tank because its armor is enough to bounce lowers also its gun can pen and so it murders smaller tanks. Where as it struggles badly vs 9 and 10`s because it armor is now weak and gun poor.

T34 is opposite, I do best in my T34 at T10 because it pens most things easily and at T10 things become much slower and rely on armor more. This means 8`s and 9`s will rush you and circle/murder you inbetween shots and its armor is T5 pennable, where as a T34 at t10`S has time to role up shoot and roll back…

The T54 is great vs lower tiers and bounces all there shots because it has more armor than a IS6, has more DPM than Batchat, is as fast as a Heavy scout. But it has more DPM than a Heavy and has the pen to kill anything from the front…

Then the 140 and 62a just get better, hi6tting things at 200m everygame in a full 40kmh sprint.

WHy not want Hovercraft/Railgun tech?

>mfw a premium Russian medium sidescrapes better than a Tiger II.
