Slight Rant/Review of the T54 1949..

[Champion of Sparta]

Alrighty I do believe that i have enough experience with the T54 1949 to give it a proper review....some of you may not agree...
Its just a garbage T-44-100 but with heatfs.....and apds....that is it
oh...and its a 8.0 now...for some reason when it shouldnt be......the leopard 1 is at 8.0 but that is at least functional.
Lets go over the facts
The T-44-100 is faster and gets up to speed much quicker.
for its Br the T-44-100 has better armor, The T54 might as well have none at its br. You will find it rare for a T-44-100 to be ammo racked through the frontal plate...you will find it often happening to the T54
The T-44-100, has shielding on the side to at least deal with some of the heat and Heatfs it will come accross...the T54 1949 has none.
The T-44-100 Turret has more adequate protection for its BR, while the T54 has better armor values, it might as well be paper at its br.
The T-44-100 Turret turns significantly faster 40.6 to the T54's 10.4...its abysmal...

The only thing superior about the T54 1949 in my opinion is the 1 degree of gun depression difference.

In all honesty (in my opinion) this is how it should be ranked for arcade.
T54 1947 7.3, No heatfs or apds.
T54 1949 7.5 No heatfs possibly apds
T54 1951 8.0 and thats only because it has heatfs and apds, it would not be fair to downtier it with those ammo types.

I get it, im ranting. And some of you are going to be pricks about my opinion of it. Here is the thing though, 99% of you grinded this thing back when it was 7.3, and did not face 9.0 tanks.

This tank is antiquated, is worse than its predecessor in nearly all measurable stats and technology.

I was genuinely looking forward to this tank based off the T-44-100, only to find out how garbage it is now since the br shift. Also discovering the chaos of 8.0 was not fun either. In fact it really just discourages me from researching any tree higher than 8.0 by the status of it.

Rant over

If you agree you agree, if you dont, you dont. All I ask if we can skip past and avoid the GET GUD comments, or the ones that attack my playstyle. I am interested in hearing others peoples opinion on it if they would wish to share. Cheers guys.

Ever since BR shift, 8.9-9.7 is extermly compressed.

They seriously need to do something about the compression now for higher tiers, either increase the max br to around 14 or so and spread them all out that way, or I dont know. But something needs done.

I don't care what ammo the tank has, 1949 technology should not be facing 60s-80s cold war tanks.

Maus: What about me bro I'm from 1944

Well with Gaijin being against prototype tanks it should never of even been added into the game, but here we are with the problems gaijin has caused.

However in all reality the Maus should be 7.5, is it hard to kill, yes, but so is the T35 and 2C BIs, but you dont see them at 4.0 or 3.0.

The Maus is actually not that difficult to kill even at 7.0, just requires team work. The Maus is no different than any heavy, if you are light tank or tank with a gun than cannot penetrate the Maus then you go around it, if you have a gun with above 200mm of pen, you track it then you shoot the side. Boom dead maus. I have already done this a couple of times with my IS3.

But again, the Maus was a Gaijin moment.

no its gajoobles double standard, yak141 is a proto as well they had no problem to add it, when nothing was know, like what weapon if could/would carry, what radar etc because it had none, just weight simulations :D

not sure why gaijin thought it would be fine to decompress 6.7-7.7 only to compress 8.0-9.0 in the same way.

like why didn't they just raise the BR max so they can decompress everything nicely.

Decompression would reveal that there are way fewer people actually playing than they claim. They don't want this because then people will stop buying premiums.

IMO we could also solve this by giving every premium vehicle above 9.3 their own bracket entirely. But then no one will buy because all premiums are is a license to seal club a BR. With the notable exception of 8.7 premiums in air RB which get stomped by getting dragged up to 9.7.

The game is made deliberately terrible by gaijin to encourage the limitless purchase of premiums. There are people spending literally $1000 a month to stomp BRs because they're basement dwelling losers. Until that bracket of idiot is unhappy with the game nothing will change. Stop making these threads.

There are financial ways to encourage change unfortunately gaijin bans people from the forum and the game for suggesting these options. They are an underhanded company run by people who do not care.

I understand how you can feel that way. But under no instance will I stop sharing my thoughts and opinions on tanks or the state of the game. I will not attack anyone or Gaijin. But I will rant and rave about certain topics as I see fit. Hope you have a good one!

I play it too and I love it, its the t-34 of the cold war and its better than the 1947 version because of the sabot which actually works

But think of those poor suffering heavy tanks that honestly didn't suffer fighting the thing

[Patriot03]

Weird, I love my T-54 1949. The turret armor is king and it has a potent gun.

(Granted the Type-59 is better in every way and has an auto-stabilizer at the same BR)

Type-59 has a vertical stab at the same BR still better but it's not a full one
