279 discussion

For the people still complaining, saying the 279 is OP. Do you consider the Is4 to be OP as well?

I have played the 279 a bit recently to really feel the changes. It's just a worse IS4 now. it's slower, worse gun and the armor is BARELY better on the hull. It meets T10s 9 out of 10 games, so the people think it's OP against the T8s yea? well the Is4 has better armor against lower tiers too. And when you can pen an IS4 , you can also pen the 279 and vice versia.

​

but but it can angle upwards and then be unpennable>?

well the Is4 actually gets a good turret and can just go hull down in those locations. I am seriously curious why people think the 279 is OP. I have 3 marked both, and It's impossible to replicate the same performance in the 279 that I can do in the Is4. it's a more versatile tank that actually can hit shots AND pen them. the 279 was a bit overtuned pre nerf, but it has no bite anymore. The gun is just a t9 gun with shit pen now.

Only responses from people who actually own the 279 please. Most people would scream anything is OP if they suck and can't fight it. The Is4 is more braindead to play than the 279 and it's better imo.
