“Wz-132 has better dpm with the 85mm than the 100mm , and what you can do with 180-something penetration, you can do with 170-something.”

Nope, 85mm uses AP, HEAT which is much worse for sniping (especially sides) and 10 or so penetration is a big difference at higher tiers, 100mm is far superior due to AP, APCR, higher shell velocity and alpha damage (light tanks have low hp so you must use any advantage in trading 1-1 shots while snapshotting. Also 100mm tracks tanks in one shot most of the time while 85 might need two. In short before HEAT nerf 85mm was better now 100mm is (85mm is almost useless in other game modes now). Higher alpha is almost always advantage because it takes fewer actions (and exposure time).

“The T-10M (IS-8 in game) has a whopping 1.51 points to its name!”

I think it has such high correlation number because it was modernized to fight against modern tanks of that time (in ’60s).

I served the czech army. Mechanized and motor-rifle division are the nearest possible – division based on mechanized infantry with about one third of tanks.

Well that’s just the thing, except Germany, which was tasked with holding the line at all costs, other West-European countries were tasked with slowing down the advance.
Making the Soviets bleed for every kilometer they take.
The Soviets must have seen the material made for that doctrine, and decided they could crush them with ease. Which they would have in a straight up fight to the death, but we would never have fought like that.

The UK having such a low score is even more odd, since their tanks where meant to be used in a much more static manner than the others.

The original document is of Soviet origin.

So… you agree. Mostly.

I just simplify it to “take the gun you perform best with”
