Happy Veterans day.

THIS IS AN IMPOS REPORT:

I noticed when upgrading the Pershing's turret, that the second turrent, in stats; is virtually the same as the first turret. From the wiki:

Tier/Name/Armor/Turn Speed/View Range/weight
VII M26M71 114/76/76(mm) 41(d/s) 430(m) 8000
VIII M26M67 114/76/76(mm) 43(d/s) 450(m) 9700

It didn't make sense, because the second turret weighs so much more. Well apon further investigation, I had read a couple places about the advantages of the Pershing's second turret lying in the mantlet, but really didn't understand that. Today, I found the answers:

When you equip the second turret, you may notice that quite a bit of the mantlet is not connected to the turret.

Why did I bold that?

Because that is the best kind of mantlet armor in the game.



On other tanks when they hit the mantlet they just have to penetrate the mantlet. On the Pershing, they have to penetrate the mantlet, and then the turret armor behind it (unless they hit the small section connected to your turret). That means that most of the mantlet is really around 200mm thick. This is why you'll get hit a lot, receive notification that you've been penetrated, and notice that you have been completely unharmed somehow; they've penetrated the mantlet but failed to break through the turret behind it.


This is just one example of the depth of the game that they won't tell you about.

Another example being - I compared the Pershing and Patton to the Russian comparable medium tanks. The Russian tanks, on paper; blow away the pershing and patton. They have thicker armor. They are faster. They have bigger guns. They have a smaller profile even...

So, why would the game creators match these tanks up as being comparable? Well, the Pershing and Patton have a hidden stat that makes them very useful, in a unique way. They have far superior gun depression, which is a stat the game doesn't present to the player in the tank's statistics.

Gun depression represents how far a tank can aim it's gun up and down. Which, if you've been engaged on a hill or some kind of height difference with a tank that can bearly look up and down, you know can be deadly.

Combined, the Pershing's/Patton's excellent gun depression and it's above average acceleration /traverse speed, the Pershing can be a killer on unsteady grounds.

Thanks IMPOS
