Gun performance has nothing to do with caliber. you can have a huge gun that shoots a shot so slowly it has no pen. (my opinion)

Damage caused relates to(In my guess) shell velocity, barrel length and design, Shell weight(not always related to size) and the shape of the ammunition fired out of said gun. most of these guns also fired different ammo(I think, please take this as a thought not a fact, I’m stating my opinion on why, not truth)

Good job, not one of those has the stats of the vehicle which is the topic of the post.

I don’t care if the line merges to Death Star at the end.

I’m so sick and tired of grinding my AT 7 and I wish to try other line.

85mm S-53: 160 damage
84mm 20pdr: 230 damage
88mm L/56-71: 240 damage
90mm Anything: 240 damage

Someone want to explain why you go from 160 damage at 85mm to 230 damage at 84mm?

Damage scaling with caliber doesn’t make sense anywhere. This is jsut another example.

Tank combat is a very sexual thing if you think about it. Size doesn’t (necessarily) mean combat efficiency, penetration is crucial, some tanks are sexy while others are just cheap crap…and regarding tactics, it’s all mostly about getting behind enemies ! It’s so obvious in French military terms. ^^ But in some way, UK already invented it in WW1 with their weird tank naming (males & females).

Gotta love repurposed WW1 field guns. :D

Nixxie I did say historically on par if not better then the 75/L70 with apds, so in game equates to slighty better pen and damage.
Basically stop assuming all guns with the same calibre perform the same, evident from all of the 100mm and 122mm guns all with differences performances.

One of those sentinels has a credit cost, the other a gold – it’s possible one’ll just be a one-gun branch-tank.

Looks very promising, obviously those aren’t the final gun stats. I know Firefly will have the 17pdr but there’s no way it’ll have 18 RoF. Too good to be true. More like 12. Not to mention the T5 med having 17pdr – impossible. Hopefully it’ll have a good gun, the T5 meds desperately need one solid specimen to fight the overpowering T5 heavies.
