Panther2 is worse than T-44. Better gun perhaps, but absolutely no flexibility, camo or defensive options. It’s better for camping or just slowly moving out of sight perhaps, but TDs are more effective for this role. It’s like faster TigerI with worse gun and matchmaking.

It has the lowest average damage dealt per battle by far, though.

As expected of a tank that has trouble hitting the E75 hitspot and even more trouble penetrating, it’s a sluggish scout / wafflekiller in tier 10 matches and despite all this it’s DPM is average for a tier 8 medium, which means it’s rubbish since all tier 8 mediums under-preform uniformly compared to the tier 8 heavies. ( Most have lighter matchmaking to compensate, T-44 has tier 7 heavy matchmaking weight and still only wins 50.9% )

50.9% is above the overall average win r ate though , so it can’t be doing that badly.

But the point of a premium tank is to make credits and train crews. And it can only do that while doing good damage. lolz that pos evaporates in t10 games xD oh god i saw one yesterday, the moment i got spotted it went boom xD freaking hilarious lmao

You are also right, but i think i dont have to point it out to you that WG balances tanks how they want, if they drink too much vodka they bring in the historical bullshit argument. They just throw out the historical crap to justify a nerf or buff. Simply as that.

And also the game balance has no logic at all. The best example is what you said Maus have shit ROF, yet huge turret=lot of space to manouver and reload fast right? WRONG :)

The game is 10% historical, 90% fantasy. End of story.

Also T-54 never had anything but a 580hp engine, and ingame starts stock with a 620hp one, then upgrades to 700hp.

is it logical to give Panther 88 pref MM while is has better rof, accuracy and aiming time than Panther 2?

If Panther 2 and even shittier T-44 can survive t10 battle then Panther 88 can. Stop being a butthurt.

“historical DPM” .. that actually made my day lol

And there is no such thing like a huge RoF buff for russian tanks based on historical data. You are either reffering to theoretical data or the IS-7, which did its 6-8 shots but than needed to reload longer.

Historical RoF .. would increase DPM .. read that for example:

Reason why KV-1 with 85 mm gun was not adpoted was a RoF of 1-2 rpm. Ingame however it pumps out a wooping 12 rpm. Probably that was a comma fault by WG!

high velocity rifled gun implying it had faster projectiles than 115mm APFSDS, which I doubt.
