It got pretty significantly buffed in the gun department some patches ago, and now has some of the best DPM in class. Also as a platform it's not shabby at all.

Pretty much confirms that the dude on this channel is WG's NATO research man. An uncanny number of obscure paper projects featured there end up as tier 8 prems.

Better yet, they're even rarer than the good tanks because good players don't play them

It has the VR, hull armour, DPM of a tier 6, and better gun handling than most 6s. Tier 5 HP may be punishing, but it's not nearly as punishing as it used to be before the HP buffs. Against Tier 6s, you just have to play vision games, spam APCR, and refrain from trading. Tank's functionally a tier 6 med with shit pen and HP, after all.

Better rammer than the AFK too on top of being a tremendously better combat tank This is the best tier 5 in the game. Nothing comes close. Only thing is that tanks like the RFBM can still outvision you, and BDR clubbers are hard to deal with on the smaller maps.

Manticore is used on Prok for CW to deny/permalight the entire 1 line So 1 Manticore and 1 EBR for 15 v 15. Re: OP both lines you mention are off meta but I'd pick BC seeing as it isn't mega fucked by tier 10 armour and also isn't matched against EBRs

Diminishing returns after the 14th point irrc

I should think that 1.0 maps, armour inflation, pen inflation, reward tanks, and the ubiquitous use of gold (HE for some tanks) would be slightly higher on WG's list of things to fix than.......crews having the same skills. Also, a lot of it isn't just poor execution in the sense of WG being (as it usually is) incompetent, some of the stuff, like 750 gold for retraining, RNG instructors and the post-75 grind are specifically designed the way they are to get players to spend real money on the game.

I'd only add that you can also stack (RNG go brrrrrrt) instructors to get it to something like 80%, making it more or less permanent considering the chip damage that you take from arty
