Does the Super Pershing, T34 and T32 need buffs?
It's safe to say, that for me, the Super Pershing is a huge dissapointment. Not only is it increadibly slow with a lackluster gun, but the hull armour is practically useless when you're up against the long 88mm and 105 from the Germans, as well as the 122mm from the russians. I feel there is no advantage playing a Super Pershing over a Tiger II for example, apart from slightly more gun depression.

Moving onto the T34. The main purpose of the T34 is to be hull down, hide you hull and be mid range support. But if the best characteristic of the T34 is the turret armour, then why in the heck is the mantlet so weak? Again, German 88 and 105 guns go through the mantlet with no ease, always knocking out the gun breach and killing crew member from ranges of 800m+ from my experience. And the T34 suffers drastically from only having solid shot and APCR ammo.

Now to the T32 (which I'm close to unlocking but havent played) from what I've gathered the T32 is underperforming to the point that it is a laughing joke. The gun at 7.0 is a lot to be desired, the turret and hull while on paper looks strong, again isn't much of an upside when you're going up against tanks at that BR that can cut through your 300mm of mantlet like cheese. I'm sure it's going to be absolutely painful having to go up against IS-3s, IS-4s, T-44-100s, Jagdtigers and so on with that piss poor 202mm that you get with the M82 shot, at 7.0!!

Anyway rant over. What do you guys think? Do these three tanks need to be looked at and in some degree buffed? Or are they fine the way they are in your opinion?

T34 is missing historical gun performance as detailed here; https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/398544-t34-heavy-tank-apcr-should-penetrate-550mm/
T32 is fine for the most part. The only real problem with it is reload time. Edit for this part; Keep in mind there are spots on the turret that have a turret face of 300mm thickness sitting directly ontop of a mantlet that is also 300mm thick, meaning a good part of the turret is 600mm of raw thickness while the areas right next to that area are still 300mm thick but are angled.

Super P needs to move down to 6.3

T34 is perfectly fine where it is

T32 needs a gun buff or a reload nerf, or maybe both if gaijin seens fit
