Obj. 279 Is Beyond OP

[InfiniteSpin]

That's it. I finally get it. Gajin will removed beloved tanks like the Maus and Tiger2 105 but are ok with adding a space ufo. People will deny it and suck off Gajin all they want but you cannot ignore the facts, Russian bias is destroying this game. No wonder the player base is dying out, the only people left are the ones with Stockholm Syndrome. Cant wait for them to add another Russian propaganda space ufo and move the Sherman 76 to 6.7, so that this game may truly die out for good. It's obvious they don't care anymore. Peace.

Tiger II 10.5 cm wasn't ever built or developed beyond a proposal.

HEAT to the turret one shots in most cases. Or a well placed shot in the turret ring or in the mg turret. I find it far easier to kill than IS-7s.
Insane grind and changes making it worse is doing more damage than russian bias.

Just because it has a few weakspots that are hard to hit doesn't mean it's balanced. It has amazing mobility, a devastating gun, and bouncy trolly armor. The only absolute consistent weakspot is below the gun. Everything else is inconsistent and will most likely bounce its Triops looking armor.

Also, with the incredible mobility this tank has, most Object-279 players will be on the move all the time, making it near impossible to land a good turret ring shot. Also they will most of the time make you explode before you can align your gun to the weak spot below the gun.

Armour isn't much of an issue when heat exists which most tanks its facing will have.
Amazing mobility, maybe for a heavy but most mbts at its tier move faster anyway. Those 4 tracks are quite easy to hit and damage, just one broken will competely immobilse the ♥♥♥♥♥♥.
Amazing gun that struggles against anything that has armour, with no access to heat at all. Not to mention the god awful depression, which limits the spots you can use (and they're usually within a wide open area perfect with multiple angles where you're completely exposed). Then again it can one shot anything it pens with a fast reload.

Wow. Interesting remarks on the 279. I don't have one; and since I've been grinding Russia & Sweden, and not played my lineups that would oppose them in battle - I would not have known they were so tough.

I agree they have good mobility, and that armor of theirs looks pretty trolley; but they way they seem to get killed off FAST in my games (playing a lot of the T-62 & T-55) I'm sure glad I didn't do the grind to obtain one.

Like a lot of people have said before, downtier bully, uptier loser. If you dont have HEATFS shoot it in the turret ring, i one shotted one with a shot like that using APDS from 850 meters away. If you do have HEATFS, lol just point and click. Leopard Is have access to much better shells than it, its mobility is fine for its br but nowhere near amazing. Its only stomping because no one seems to know how to kill them neither do they bother to know. Its one of those tanks that are just in general gonna be a bump in the road for people getting uptiered to face it, if they move it any higher its gonna be so useless that it'd probably lead to the people who own it shooting themselves over the amount of time they would've wasted (which they'd tell you they already have given how uptiered it gets often).

The problem is that this thing ALWAYS, and I mean ``````ALWAYS``````` gets downtiered. 45/50 matches this thing will get downtiered.


Also, you guys should post this stuff in the Feedback section, I did as well. That's where they read our feedback.

At its rank, it is usually capable of being smashed to bits from even the front. But I understand your sentiment. They really do only care about making money, and if adding a horribly balanced event encourages people to instead pay for the vehicle on the market, then they'll do that. Don't believe ♥♥♥♥ Gaijin will tell you. They honestly do not and have never cared about making a historically accurate game for the sake of passion for it. If they did, then War Thunder wouldn't be free to play and instead would have a flat price and forgo the premiums and terrible progression.

I've noticed that many people still don't know where to aim on it, whenever I see one in my Merkava I just load the M111 APFSDS and slap a shot through the right most optic from my POV, will either oneshot it by knocking out 3 of the 4 crew members (driver gunner and commander) or disable the breech and engine while also killing the driver, leaving it open for a second better placed shot to kill it.

The 105mm HESH can also be very devastating to the 279 if you hit commander's cupola , kills 2 of the three turret crew and disables and the gun.

Not a lot of vehicles that face it have the luxury of postwar shells though, which is an issue as they are the only reliable way of penning it.

But, just like the Maus it was, built and tested and rejected for being too heavy.
