I'm not sure.
About Tiger's Sherman
—10 degree is a bad??? (value of gun depression)
Small and armored (76mm) turret, too is a bad?
Mobility compare to for example german T25 Skoda Captured is bad?
Are you sure?
The turn speed in Sherman on paper look better. (both turrer & chassis).
15,75 shots per minute is too a bad value?
Alpha 110HP is bad too?
Sorry, I'm not sure.
Sloped front plate is a bad too?
The gun caliber 75mm, bad?
Ps. No offense, I'm going to get this vechicle by "americans" points, that I'm not sure its good choice?.
You are basically just throwing up a whole bunch of stats that are average or below average.
- Gun depression is -10 degrees, most Mediums have similar, the same or better. But only the E4 gets it that two areas of the front force it to -5. Even the IV H gets to use it's entire front for the advertised gun depression. We'll get back to this in a moment.
- The turret is not that armoured, it will bounce the odd shot but it will not bounce anything of the same tier reliably. It also isn't that small and I have no idea where people come up with the idea that it is.
- Mobility will get you where you need to go but not much more than that. It wont be able to circle much as they'll be able to get the gun to catch up to you and they will hit more shots on you than you hit on them.
- Why on earth does the turn rate on the turret matter? It's about a 2 degrees per second difference, this wont ever make a difference. Mobility wise the M4 is better and as a result despite having the same track traverse, the M4 likely traverses faster without bleeding as much speed. Premiums also typically suffer from having worse than shown as far as I'm aware due to the lack of a stock engine in terms of how the track traverse and that is decided.
- Going to cover both of these in one.
The DPM is 'better' than most on paper as it reloads faster than most of the V Mediums with similar or better alpha. But this is in theory because most of these tanks will be able to fire faster, hit more often and pen more shots than you will, should you move the hull or turret at all you are then forced to fully re aim the shot to fire so they will likely outDPM you bar the Skoda T 24.
The alpha is average if not below average, the majority have slightly higher by 5 damage, or 15 for the Chi-Nu/Chi-Nu Kai. You will frequently find yourself rolling for 100 or less which is not what you want to be doing when you have the kind of accuracy in which you could fire the gun inside a barn, have it fly out a window without hitting anything in the barn, firing off into space only to miss the moon, slingshot out of the milky way, bounce off something it hits and come back just to fly out a second window in the barn.
- The sloped front isn't even that armoured and the only tanks that will fail to pen it are stock, or stock low tiers as most of the IV's could likely pen the front reliably. If they had any risk of bouncing then not to worry because they put FOUR weakspots on it. So you have weakspots, a tall tank and two parts on the front that negate gun depression. I said we'd get back onto this so here we are, to frequently be able to use your gun depression to the full effect you have to engage enemies sideways on or drive up hills sideways, you only really use the front if you are pushing on a Tier III you know cannot pen you or you're rushing someone.
- Not even going to go on about the gun calibre as it has no part in this.
If there is any other tank you do not have, such as the Lycan, go for that. The T95E2 is my most hated tank in the game but I would recommend going for that over this. Save the Ripper for last unless it is the only tank you need.
Getting it for free is good but I would never suggest purchasing it for money.
