idk, felt pretty good to me, even 3 moe'd it randomly when I was playing it for fun back in 2016
After they introduced new t8 prems, DERP Jap heavies, and mini maus's. It really did get powercreeped, the armor was sufficient, the gun was amazing to spam and perma track people. You really need to know the weakspots of other tanks if you wanted to hulldown with this, and when it did, it was great. Majority of games I would hulldown was to find an enemy/ally corpse and make due with that, be creative
