Same thing happens with the Maus and old Lorraine Repair costs. Good players did well in them bringing repair costs higher.

[@williewilson2250]

They screwed that up by putting the b29 at 7.3 lol

[@_spooT]

Literally the only vehicle where despite having such a powerful gun, it's speed is balls, it's traverse is shit, you'll get killed faster than you can reload, it's armor is basically bond paper which anything can kill you, an open top with a gape so wide bombers could play basketball with it with bombs, it's such a slow and massive target that 1.0 tanks are considered even more OP against it. It literally has overflowing depression, that not a single individual will even bat an eye even if it gets put at 1.0.

[@burningsinner1132]

Which is irrelevant because gun is BS powerful and depression is outright cheating. Also, playing hull down brings impressive effective armor. The only real problem is that you are pretty much locked into using binoculars for all the aiming because sight is shite and it doesn't help that there is massive POV shift between the gun and commander sight. But once you get used to it, it's a beast.
