Who asked for the T-55-AM-1 at 8.3?
Please, who the ♥♥♥♥ asked that cancer to go 8.3?
Why I have to deal with it so much in a STB-1 while he just pops me with APFSDS

Why a tank like the Kal Dalet is at the same br yet inferior?
Because it has 5cm less caliber?
Because it doesnt turn on the spot?

Please someone tell me a good reason that piece of ♥♥♥♥ is at 8.3
WHO ASKED IT TO GO LOWER

primarily money, other than that the severe br compression made it uncompetitive.

You're right, the AMX-30 Super has more armor.

Why would you pull that one for comparison? The AMX-30 Super has an existent top speed, thermals and a far better reload as well as better ammunition. The T-55AM only has the extra composite armour going for it, which any tank with APFSDS or a strong APDS round can just melt through

Anyway, the T-55AM was performing poorly compared to the other nations former 8.7 premiums (which makes sense, because the BR range of 7.7 to 9.0 is pure speed meta, considering that composite aromur only really becomes formidable on third generation MBT's). Does that mean it should be at the same BR as the far worse T-55A? Hell no, the answer should be BR decompression, but at this point you should no longer be suprised at which solution Gaijin uses.

As for fighting the T-55AM, you should just shoot the turret cheeks, preferably to the right, then follow up with either a shot to the left cheek or the lower front plate, depending on your situation. If you don't get ambushed by it, it should be no more trouble to deal with than other tanks you face. Just don't engage at extremely long range since he gets a laser rangefinder compared to your regular rangefinder.

Yeah, its kinda weird as the T-55A in the tech tree is at the same BR while being worse than the T55AM-1. The russians also got a OP 8.3 lineup with the 279 and AM-1 while it gets downtiered to 7.7 matches.

279 will definitely get uptiered to 8.7

It's funny that people like this guy believe that the Object 279 is common more or less the T-55AM-1.

I'd hardly consider the 279 to even be part of the lineup since it's actually a rare vehicle.
Even T-55AM-1 is more common.

I'm just gonna say "learn to play" because half the time I fight idiot leopards who can't aim at weakspots or pen my hull as I'm completely infront of them with their APFSDS.

I mean I've seen you write it to other people in other threads. :P

Almost everyone I've seen whine about the 279 be mad cuz bad, I'm hoping that's not how you're acting here. :)

As you probably know, Germany suffers amirite?

Tell me how the 279 is just as good as the t-10m

The 279 is not a rare vehicle. It's not like a Panzer 4 or a Sherman (who the ♥♥♥♥♥ needs so many of them??). The IS-7, E-100 are rarer. Heck, I even see more 279s than Maus tanks in my 7.7 uptier matches.

You are an SJW, which means a useless "person". And the Leo 1 doesn't even have APDFS. All it's got is HEAT (which performs worse than kinetic rounds against 279s) and APDS. The APDS doesn't go through the hull since the only portion is so angled in 9/10 cases it will simply go upwards and/or not pen and nowhere through the turret where it won't simply damage the breach. The ring is not a reliable shot so don't count on you hitting and penning. When using the DM12 HEAT, only the driver is a reliable casualty. If you hope to hit the ammo, you either shoot the hull and bounce or pray for the turret to be turned away. But the turret being turned away is like the ring, unreliable. You shouldn't rely on that at all. The only hope is flanking it. Oh wait, in a Leo 1 you're supposed to stay very far away. And 279 drivers tend to stick to city environments. Which means you HAVE to go all in from the side. But the 279 is also a very fast heavy, more like a medium than a heavy. Frontally, the 279 is almost unstoppable when in a downtier, and the sides are difficult to get at. It absolutely stomps the ♥♥♥♥ out of every tank when top tier, even more so than a good driver in a Sherman. Only ATGMs are reliable.

"strong apds will melt through"
What APDS?
The L7 105 apds that it faces constantly? that you can only pen it in the gun breech, so if youre far they are basically just going to be back to cover and repair? That if you get lucky to be close to one it will take you ages to get rid of?
Or are you trying to say everyone are always using the same 120mm apds from the chieftain? Because everyone has the same rounds ofc
Bro, again, have you tried to shoot that hull with apds? i dont think so
Cause even if the hull has a favorable angle to me when they were going up a hill, it bounced the lower plate.
