So new nerf to the T26E5

[Provokedbirch87]

was not even that good at 6.3 now its at 6.7 for some reason its just the M26 but with a slightly better turret armor I dont understand why you hate the US tech tree there is no point in playing it anymore because all the tanks has 7K or up repair costs but are also outclassed by the Russians and Germans in nearly every way

this has been going on for to long for tanks that do not deserve it like the T26E1-1 the Jumbo 76 and now the T26E5

I'm just happy Germany got similar treatment in arcade with the tiger 2 h being at 7.0.
At least I got the Pershing assault done before the BR change.

Really? USA is the nation you pick to complain about "imaginary vehicles?"

yeah, its because WELL over half the US tech tree is made of Prototype tanks, or otherwise tanks that didn't see combat, admittedly MOST were constructed.

A vehicle that was constructed, and went through a fair amount of testing, is not "imaginary." For the purposes of War Thunder, I can't see any significant difference between non-combat testing and seeing IRL combat. Either way, the stats that WT would use would still exist, and I'd be willing to bet that even the vehicles that saw heavy combat are in-game largely based on their performance outside of combat.

That aside, other trees like Germany have actual paper tanks or vehicles that were never fully built, much of Sweden isn't combat tested either, and if you look in other trees you'll find plenty of other vehicles that saw little (if any) combat. Singling out the US for having some is just silly.

So... It's not imaginary then? Who cares if they saw combat or not, it's not like it'll change anything in War Thunder.

didn't say i agreed with the statement, just explained why he said it

and it IS true that most of the US tech tree did not enter service or even Left prototype phase, pretty much anything with a T in front never left proto, there are some without the T that didn't either tho, but it doesn't make anything less valid, and people that complain about paper tanks just need to chill...

and to mention something the OP did, 7k rep cost is nothing, and if you are complaining about that im sorry but you already lost this argument, as there are nations with FAR more then 7k at way harder BRs, the T26E5 ingame is FINE at 6.7 as it was gonna face them anyways, and has FAR better armor then the M26 we have ingame, if you have an issue with playing it at 6.7 then don't put it in your lineup, its a new tank you clearly didn't need before... so why now?

Don't worry, when Soviets get their 2 Paper Battle cruisers that are in the file, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about Paper vehicles will magically disappear.

i honestly, IMO, could give 0 ♥♥♥♥♥ about paper vehicles myself, so long as its not some Cracked wonder vehicle that just literally could not exist and is at some cracked BR... like at some point you have to sit back and realize that just because its paper does not mean its gonna be OP or something, and just means whatever nation your playing gets an Extra tank or plane or boat, even if they never got built if they get balanced correctly... who cares?

Well I can agree that it should be moved up some. But 40% of the time is idiot German Mains making our brs go up, insanely annoying to say the least.

Also don't like using up 25k in 2 tanks.

You mean the Panzerkampfwagon 6 Aufsfurung B (H) variant? the P had weak turret armour and is easy to kil with a turret shot.

no I ment the P yes it has worse turret armor but when angled will still stop 76mm guns yes it wont stop the 90mm gun in the T26E5 but the T26E5 can be penned by the long 88 the tiger 2 P has almost anywhere on the tank but the T26E5 cant unless its using APCR or hitting the turret so its worse in firepower better in armor same in mobility and the tiger 2 p has better stability so it can shoot its gun on the move most of the time

see what I mean here the tiger 2 P is same or even better then the T26E5 but now that the T26E5 is at 6.7 its not good anymore the tiger 2 H can go right through it while the T26E5 can go through it almost anywhere at the front the mobility is worse then the tiger 2 H and the gun is also worse then the tiger 2 H so now why would anyone play the T26E5 when the tiger H 2 is better in every way
