Gaijin needs to seriously revamp the American BR lineup.
I'm seriously sick of this every Sherman except the M4 105MM battle-rating is so overly inflated it's a joke. Seriously it's ridiculous let me break this down.

Any SHERMAN in exception of the jumbo's can be penned in the side/rear by any tank from any nation roughly BR 2.0 Onward. Multiple tanks 2.0 onward can pen it frontally as-well as some even using an H.E shell to do so.

The 3.3/3.7 Sherman lineup easily gets up-tiered all the time to 4.7 facing Pz IV's, Jagd's, and PZ3's all of which can Pen the Sherman at all angles ESPECIALLY the sides. Meanwhile the Sherman has a lackluster gun in these respective BR's. Which in turn forces the Sherman players to REQUIRE precise shots. Where as 9/10 quick shot rounds fired from a PZ3/4 or a T-34 cuts through like butter frontally.

Onward to speaking about the 4.7-5.0 BR M4A2-76/M4A1-76's these Sherman's again are a jack of all trades tank but in their respective BR placement, and how the BR system works you are constantly up-tiered to 6.0 games. So you are now facing Panthers, Tigers, and T-34-57/85's
Which again require you to make precise shots where as these players can shoot you damn near anywhere and it's an insta-kill.
Panthers specifically? HAS to be a side-shot to even penetrate it. Otherwise PRAY TO RNG on the side manlet.

Look I get it the Jumbo got nerfed because German players cried about not being able to pen it. But look across the board at penetration ratios.

The M4A1 76, and M4A2 76's mainly saw combat against Pz4's, Marder 3's, and Pz3's. I'm not saying a drastic BR bump down. But there is NO POINT for the over inflation of the Sherman's BR. Multiple tanks can pen it at all angles and we also get inflated BR? We don't have speed, Pen, or armor. Drop the BR on the Shermans so we can at-least be on par with the other nations.

3.3/3.7 Sherman should be dropped to 2.7/3.0 (1.7 tanks can even pen these BT-7/PZ2's)
Germany have Puma/PZ3 J1
Soviets are kinda crap before the numerous t-34 variants but best examples are T-28/Su-122

4.7/5.0 M4 76 should be dropped down to 4.0/4.3
Germany has multiple Pz4's with identical pen at this BR
Soviets have SU-57/T34

I have yet to play an “overinflated Sherman”. All of them I have played are very fun.
Steam level zero, private profile, and a can be considered trollish post. Going to chalk this one up as what it appears to be.
New to the forums, aren't we?


Цитата допису Paradoxicc70.TV:
To the kid that responded the panthers can also be penned in the sides by 1.7 Br tanks the difference between the sherman's and the panthers in that regard is that the shermans also get penned frontally....where as the Panthers have identical speed, better armor, and thus the Shermans unless they get the better spawn. With a decent map will be arriving at the same exact time looking frontally to these tanks with no recourse to defend yourself.
I'm not arguing the other points.

I'm pointing out the ridiculousness of your focus on side armours being penetrable.

The only tanks I've met whose side armour could withstand me were rank V Russian heavies. And that's cuz they're from my af.

starting to get abusive i see, his steam level means nothing to the game or to your argument, well it says something about your argument.

If you had read any threads for some time you would have seen that he/she had been posting for some time. Driving me nuts for some time to tell the truth...hehehe.

You just don't like it because not many agree with you. Get used to it.

Enlighten me on how my response was abusive? That seems like a very childish statement to say in a way to deflect my posting as I went more in-depth. Also his steam level, profile private means everything when trolls typically run rampant discrediting other players opinions or viewpoints.


If you've been paying attention lately to the steam postings, Reddit postings you'd see in the past three days alone there have been numerous complaints about BR 4.0-7.0 America, and for the better part of two+ years ever since they Nerfed the jumbo has been considered "Hell" for American players. Which some say has prompted the whole BR Decompression slogan for this game.

I don't agree with the statement because there happens to be a Sherman variant called the M6A1 which is accepted by 99.9% of the playerbase as an utterly garbage tank for it's variant. Armor is decent but the speed igod-awful, and both guns are lackluster for the BR. Thus not many find it favorable, Nor can I see taking ten minutes to finally reach the first OBJ in RB as "fun".

Your viewpoint of people not agreeing with me is held by nothing but your opinion, and a handful on here. I've been playing for years and know better as I just dropped some info only an informed player for the better part of a few years would know. Hell there are multiple content creators that also feel the same about the Shermans, Koala, Phly, and many more also agree.

Sorry I'd rather try to emphasize on someones viewpoint with 100X the playtime than I than a random with a totally locked, and fresh steam profile that seems like a troll. :steamhappy:

I'm my arguing the other points.

I'm pointing out the ridiculousness of your focus on side armpits being penetrable.

The only tanks I've met whose side armour could withstand me were rank V Russian heavies. And that's cuz they're from my af.

But it's going over your head this is the last time I'm going to try to dumb it down and make it more simple. I DON'T CARE about the side armor I'm making it a point that a 1.7 BR tank can Pen a shermans front with an H.E Shell, and any tank 2.0 BR Onward can pen the sides of any Sherman Variant excluding the jumbos.
-Any tank can Pen the Sherman.

The front armor, and the penetration ratios between the two tanks (Panther VS Sherman M4A2 76 W) are unbalanced. A Panther cannot be penned except for the RNG shots on the side mantlet where as the Panther can shoot the Sherman almost anywhere. This includes frontal armor and blow it to hell.
-Panther can Pen Sherman anywhere.
-Sherman 76MM can Pen Panther in sides/rear or Sidemanlet RNG shot ONLY.

(Deny the inflation of american tanks off of this part alone if you wish to debate me further. )
Thus the Shermans BR's should be lowered especially when
USSR T-34-57 130mm Pentration 4.3BR (Faster than 76's)
Germany PzIV F2 140mm Penetration 3.3BR (Faster than 76's)
USA M4A1 76 W 140mm Penetration 4.7BR ( tanks 2.0 onward can Penetrate it)
USA M4A2 76 W 140mm penetration 5.0BR ( tanks 2.0 onward can Penetrate it)
(Deny the inflation of american off of this part alone if you wish to debate me further. )

Now, I only have 2800 hours in game, not sure what you have but I'm 100% sure it's significantly less.

I'm an excellent player according to thunderskill.

But none of that really matters (and neither does the opinion of those YouTubers you mentioned, if that opinion is more than a month old it wasn't made after the penetration changes which buffed every Sherman)

They can frontally penetrate an Abrams or Leo 2K too, we should move those to 3.3 too right?

Yet the gun still seems lackluster, their tanks are faster and yet the opinions of many didn't change.
This wasn't a huge buff like the .50Cal buff a year or so ago that revamped the entire air battle game experience.
I just compared my stats to yours and this is a second account (Steam login issues) and we have almost identical stats.

This discussion is over take a panzerjager and the M4 you can easily penetrate it. Much like the situation the 76's face against Panthers. Nor did I say bump it down that low but when the Germans get a tank with equal pen to our 5.0 at 3.3 I have an issue.
If Shermans do not have the speed, armor, or penetration what do we have?
Reload rate and turret traverse. that's the only thing that makes the M4 3.0 even acceptable at that BR and you know it.
But now at the 5.0 BR we don't have anything. German players cried about the Jumbo time and time again and this is what screwed up this area of the BR system.
We deserve to do the same when the stats, armor, penetration do not lie the 76's deserve to be bumped down.
Your comparison is asinine with the M1A1. It did not penetrate yes I checked just for ♥♥♥♥ n giggles.

http://thunderskill.com/en/stat/paradoxic70

not even close stats.

8% lower winrate, 7,000 less battles (nearly 18x less battles), a minute less lifespan, and while 0.1 more kills per battle, 0.3 less kills per life, along with nearly 20% less efficiency.

The guns are not lacklustre in any way, shape or form. Gun handling on the shermans is excellent, doesn't get better for anyone until the PT-76B or Centurion Mk.3, the armour is almost impossible to frontally penetrate by anything at it's BR (3.7, M4A2) that isn't German and lightly armoured. To the point where the T-34 has to aim for small weakspots, same with the 50mm on anything German, same with the Italian tanks.

Add that to the decent mobility, excellent gun handling, good reloads and APHE rounds, they really aren't bad tanks at all.
huh? phly said what about shermans?? thats not the impression i got from his latest sherman video. from april 3rd. sherman 75.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bpHMfgpHF0

and trust me if the 76shermans, especially the 4.7one had a lower br it would be op as ef.
Your in depth posting.......

oh go and look at the stats, read the stats, think about the stats.......the shermans are being played well, if you can't see that then fine.

As for abusive, you start with picking on someones steam forum level showing that you don't read the forum or at least this one much if you have not seen this person posting for some time.

This is just another I can't play something it needs to be nerfed or buffed post,
something we have all not said because sometimes someone comes out with a new angle on something. And no one wants to be the first to say it.

You changed that when you start calling people trolls.

You can't play the sherman, yes, we figured that with your post, you back it up with meaningless figures,
yes pointless figures because br is also based on how WE THE PLAYERS use a vehicle.

you ignore this and stand there shouting meaningless figures.

the sherman is being used by the players well, go and look at the panthers, you would have a good reason with the panthers figures to reduce its br.

They don't, it has 15mm less penetration, stop lying. It also has worse gun handling and worse armour.

Цитата допису Paradoxicc70.TV:

They have adequate penetration, excellent gun handling, decent speed, and above average armour at least.

NOPE

http://thunderskill.com/en/vehicle/us_m4a1_1942_sherman

It's above average at least on Thunderskill too, and that's one of the worst Shermans.

The Jumbo was OP, now it's still good but not as OP. Add to that the excellent gun handling etc. etc.

It ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ does, 1.7BR being the Sturmpanzer, known for frontally penetrating literally anything in game with HE (hit the turret face)

Ah, sure. Basically the same pen as a 4.3 Pz IV, basically the same or slightly inferior armor but sloped right off the bat not needing angling, basically same mobility, higher profile but better depression... what would be so OP about it? America having a gun that can actually stick a middle finger to captured Churchills or KV-1s whitout having a very ♥♥♥♥♥♥ turret traverse, at 0.7 more BR?

what would be OP about it, if it was lowered????
it would proberbly have a better winrate than it has currently(67%) and an even better killrate(2.59).
https://thunderskill.com/en/vehicle/us_m4a1_76w_sherman

and my own experience with the 4.7 sherman76 is 335 battles, 55% winrate, 242 deaths, 518 kills. the thing is a beast.

You're still going on about thunderskill statistics whitout touching even once the matter of current map meta or objective performance statistics like penetration, armor thickness, slope and composition, profile, gun elevation and depression, reload times, turret traverse, horsepower/ton ratio, top nominal speed allowed by transmission, neutral and on-the-move steering, acceleration, etc.

If we're going by Thunderskill statistics, the Bf109 F-4 and F-4/Trop should be at 10.0, and the Tiger H1 should be at 3.0. Oh, and the M22 Locust at 7.0.

Present actual argument instead of throwing mere numbers around and talking about your personal experience and statistics as if they mean something by themselves. BR system is meant to classify tanks by their actual performance, not by year of production, how well they fit the meta, or how well the players use them, which in and of itself shuts down any argument which has player statistics or year of production as it's main basis.
