So sadly the T26E5 did get moves to 6.7, but I have a wonderful time with it. I have even been able to kill M103s and even an IS-6, who surprisingly ricochet off of my turret when I was angling. (The IS-6 engagement took place on Sinai, btw)
As an IS- 2 main I find myself questioning whether or not these american heavies are almost impossible to deal with frontally, or I am just expecting too much of the 122mm.
My guy is clearly waffling about the jumbo. I encounter tiger 2's ALL the time, like literally every game, and they one shot me every time regardless. Plus the stabilizer doesnt mean antthing if they are bushed up stationary sniping from more than a km away.
Too bad the AMD.35 (SA35) wasn't around when this video was made because that would be my no.1. The amd chassis isn't that fast and it's quite underpowered and underarmored. The gun struggles at 1.7 in penetration and lack of HE plus no secondary machine guns. But the worst thing is that somehow the M8 is 2 br steps under it while being faster, better armored, better penetration and having a goddamn 50.cal at reserve. Also it's been missing its shoulder stab since release.
The M2A2 is one of my favourite tanks. I don't think it's competitive, but it's incredibly fun! Super fast, and can easily shred most AA and light tanks. You don't wanna face Pz.llls or anything with slightly more armor than a BT, but at any time there's probably something in the battlefield you can pen. Running from objective to objective, ambushing and even shooting down planes is quite entertaining
I got to the first sherman on the US line up and i hate it that and you be in more open maps and fight better tanks like a US-85 and Panzer IV with the long gun i then to the UK tank line and i am doing much better love the faster firing guns.
2:35:31 As if May 8th, 2024, Gaijin has not bothered to fix this, and I doubt they will anytime soon considering how they treat US ground bugs and such
The fv4202 to me holds a special place in my heart. My first br 7 and got a talisman on it. I mastered the hull down sniping positions and got a 3.2k/d with it WHILE 90% of the vehicles i own, i have a .8k/d. ( just to say im a bad player ). But this guy, for some reason was put in the game for me and i still take it out weekly even in my 8.7 lineup
My favorite thing about the Jumbo is that it's the first American tank where you can basically turn off your brain and just roll into a fight and brawl with everyone. You won't always survive the engagement, but it feels like the first really very solid tank the US gets.
Now that the Italian’s have the R3, that’s more than enough grounds for a return from the Koelian, Panther 2, Tiger 2 105 and the Maus to the tech tree
