SU-100M1 doesn't exist in real life- SU-101 however does, and IMHO it's more balanced for this meta. I actually think the line post revamp is more consistent (except for the SU-122-54): now the entire line is about speed, camo, armor, rear casemate and good aimtime. Previously it was 3 dedicated low alpha paper armored tanks leading to something that has armor.

Tort armor is so that you don't get random penned by HE and scouts, you are merely a 2k HP L1A1 tractor. Which was damn nice, not sure about now. HE cannot triple overmatch, but it doesn't autobounce unless it's more than 85 degrees.

I played tortoise before the superheavy meta, and it was the best tank I've ever played. Not anymore, but let's see how WG rework this line (and hopefully give it a bigger gun,better armor or downtier to T8 )

Why is this a tier 8, or more like, why wasn't it like this when it's tier8?

Unlike the waffle cancer shitbarn can do this to you too, with 2 times the alpha and 3 times the pen.

<PTSD Intensifies> For those wondering how RNGod hate us all here's the original thread

Change BL-10 into BL13 and convert some armor into angles and you get IS-7 in tier 8, this is too OP and will not happen! defender of motherland notwithstanding

Well these have about the same mobility and it gets armor. No turret and depression makes it not as comfy but you blap much hard as well. With that much armor and speed I think it can afford to reload slowly. Also, at in-your-face distances 0.45 and 0.36 is little different- we are talking about 0.09m difference at 100m, that's 9cm or a little less than 4" at 100meters.

Do people remember the original M46 Patton? 0.41 base accuracy, but with soft stats so good it was king of full reticule snapshots. These tanks seems to have 0.12/0.12/0.1 dispersion, same as it was on the old M46, coupled with the fact that they can autopen most thing in tier, I don't think 0.45 base accuracy is really that big of a deal.

T49 rectal-reaping squad has nothing to do with casemate; they used to frontally HE pen a pre HD E3, how's a turret gonna help .

They just did 2 patches ago, gun arc is now 22 degrees, shell velocity is up from 760 to 950. Still not great in this meta though, but things may change.

Guys you all forgot how accuracy works for Soviet tanks: THE BIGGER THE NUMBER, THE BETTER THE ACCURACY!

You light enemy once and they stay lit for 10 seconds, but to keep camonet bonus and hopefully stay unlit you cannot move/turnhull/shoot etc because that bonus isn't going to stay.

if you have credits: Vents, GLD, your choice of binocs or coated optics because gunarc is still bad. camonet is useless because a. gunarc is narrow, you move all the time b. you want to use the 2nd and the third round of the magazine, not shoot once and duck into cover like a normal high alpha TD.
