Is it just me or is T-28 just a bad tank?

[Bomber Rex]

Idk maybe im not used to heavyish tanks but i personally don't find much success in the the T-28 (russia). Hopefully once i grind to KV 1 and kv 2 ot will be better.

[Illusionyary]

T-28 is fairly mobile for its size but its gun lacks the punching power of other tanks at its Tier (though it will nuke them), I found them to be okay but they're nothing to rave about. KV-1 and KV-2 are very good.

The T-28E is actually good. Acceptable mobility for it size, a good ammount of crew, enough armor to bounce some shots and a canon with very high explosive filler and low-ish penetration (enough to pen 80% of the time at close range)

Ye its not really that great. Its not really a heavy tank at all, its a medium tank with paper armor, it just happens to be big and have an above average amount of crew. Once you get the APHE shell instead of the shrapnel one you'll at least be able to pen a lot of things you see, until then its pretty much just a grind. It is rather mobile though, turning easily and gaining speed well.

I reckon if you emptied it of all ammo and had fireproofing equipment, it'd be a durable (so many crew) distraction to the enemy that you could roll around in!

Don't bother with landships like the T-28

Paper armor, meh gun, MG spam. For it's teir to me it's a free kill if not angled.

Not much you can do unless you know how to angle a tank and use the right shells in the right spot.

The russian T-28 is actually a good tank if you know how to handle it. It may be big, but it's surprisingly fast for it's size. The number of crew members is really satisfactory to the point where you can survive a few hits and either shoot back or retreat into cover (depending on where you were hit).

^ to give an unbiased opinion of a person thats pretty much the pros.

To me however not a big fan.

T-28 can do good with its cannon and speed, but a KV-1 is alot more fun ^^

T-28 isn't bad, you just need to think that it is a group light tanks stick together, and have a large gun in the middle.
You have to learn that it needs cover for it hull, and a friendly to watch after your back.

If i remember correctly that was a awesome tank and its fun.

I think the T-28 series is neither good nor bad, it seems to be a playstyle thing. I love the T-28, other people hate the T-28.

[Damian030303]

I prefer Nb.Fz, at least it has 2 good cannons nad lower Br.

T-28 is only half bad, it wants to be played with cold blood, quick mind and a fast, precise trigger hand.
Wait until you get to the SU-57B or the ASU-57, now these are terrible tanks.

You can't compare the T-28 with a tank destroyer
And the SU-57B might be bad at almost everything, the ASU-57 can be very powerful

Actually the 57B is pretty good if you put some shrubs on it. And yes the ASU can be VERY powerful
