A Good Tank Overall, But the 85mm Gun Is a Letdown

[@russman3787]

The T-44, like many tanks near the border between ww2 and cold war tanks, is a victim of br compression.

[@tigerbesteverything]

you're completely off. The t44 is literally the test bed for a transversal mounted engine on a t34 plateform, with the upgraded armor profile needed for it. It's a pure ww2 product and fully deserve it's BR solely because it's an amazing tank playing like an early mbt.

[@russman3787]

[@xvang9346]

I miss the old days when the T-44 and M26 were 6.3, there was no reason why they were moved to 6.7 the tanks they face are just too strong for them. The 85mm and 90mm guns struggle fighting tanks even the Panthers can resist both guns

[@bolinadegorfe5339]

If you are in a position where the American 90mm is insufficient to take out a panther, you really gotta take a look on the Armour of It in the garage and locate weakspots

[@PHENOMAS_YT]

Should be at 6.3 cuz of shitty uptiers in 6.7

[@Kanalankettu]

Nah just reduce mm from 1.0 to 0.7

[@D3m0n1c4t]

​@Kanalankettu if only, so many tanks would be better if that happened

[@Kanalankettu]

@@D3m0n1c4t Yeah or even 0.3 althought that might slowdown the matchmaking. Still Id love it.

[@Kanalankettu]

@@D3m0n1c4t Everyone got to start requesting the change for 0.7 and I think gaijing might do it at somepoint. dont have enough players talking about it. Also the WW2 vehicles could be locked up from the mm with cold and modern war era, just like world of tanks did. It really isnt so hard but im not the dev so cant fix their shit for them.

[@user-fe7bo5mm1o]

not even because of uptiers, I just don't think it should be at 6.7, you cannot pen anything near that br, and practically everything can pen you, it's a great tank, just not at 6.7. 6.3 would be perfect

[@XTerraD3]

Love the vid man, t44 and t44-100 are some of my favourite tanks in the game. Great to see you playing them!

[@ryzkiguruh2942]

I love it when thing thing still at 6.3, it has enough speed, gun and armor it really felt like the panther of USSR but bit better handling hence the higher BR. I dont really agree when they moved it to 6.7 because lots of heavy in that BR have better armor and better gun

[@francoisvandermerwe5103]

It is fast, has effective armour, good gun handling and still decent gun. It was incredibly broken at 6.3

[@Biznatski]

Hi Dawg, try using the APHEBC instead of the APCBC round. It got crazy normalisation and crazy amounts of HE filler. Try playing it like a T-34 85 but with better angled armor. Cheers. I love your videos.

[@ealep0314]

6:48 If you load an HE shell, I think the T-44 can overpressure an M109 anywhere on the turret.

[@wastelander89]

Thank you for making this video. 👍 I'm stuck around this battle rating in Russian tree trying to get better and grind the tanks.. I finally got a better pc recently so I can get more fps to have smoother gameplay

[@AaroSalminen-d3s]

Play the m1128 stryker tech tree version. Its much better than wolfpack because if you use the hydropneumatic suspension to push the nose down and the rear up, it will be faster than the wolfpack even when stock. It also gets more depression which is nice. After the top tier got moved to 12.0 the stryker faces constant downtiers. The downtiers make it so good because the m900's 522mm of penetration.

[@DawgIVLife]

Funny enough they added the hydro to the wolfpack now as well.

[@darthnihiluslordofhunger6314]

Play the Calliope or the Panzer 4 G. (Fun fact about the calliope if you fight germany, it is very easy to overpressure pz 3s and pz4s with the rockets)

[@KauppaKomissaari]

The t44-100 is such a strong vehicle to this its a t54 at .7 lower

[@funwithmagnus8570]

I didn't really mind grinding through this tank. My kd good with it and liked it more than IS-2s. The gun is weak, but it's still usabale if you're patient and that's my play style.

[@wardedplace]

Honestly I play this in like a light tank for me it moves like a light tank And I didn't even know this was at one Point at a lower BR Honestly this thing really got me through the 6.7 Part of the tech tree bc i hate the IS-2, For me the T-44 is a solid vehicle (Longest Comment I've made in months plus this makes it seem like i love this Vehicle its just good Enough for me)

Tbh I use to do it within the videos them self, You had the comments that are like "bush warrior unsubbed" that never really bothered me, it was funny, but I did have some people tell me that its hard to identify the tank I was in because of the bushes, and that very few people will ever have access to the 6 pack of bushes anymore so I keep them off majority of the time now.

You should play the 120S or M60A3 TTS I been using both for event and 120S having M829A1 and 5 sec reload + gen 2 thermals at 10.3 is great and M60A3 TTS is underrated the armor is decent and M735 at 9.0 and gen 1 thermals is also pretty good. Especially when 9.0 doesn't get up tiers as much now

[@SHEEPS_123]

Bad gun? the gun is great. The T44 is so much better than the T44100, sometimes I prefer to take it over the 100 at 7.0 simply because of the reload and mobility, its a flanker, try to get side shots.

[@MrPezsgess]

Actually I prefer the IS-1. The T-44 is so sloppy. The gun is not stable at all. Especially the 100 mm

[@SHEEPS_123]

@@MrPezsgess I respect your opinion, and if you enjoy the IS1 more than the T44 then more power to you.... but that is the craziest take I have ever heard

[@DawgIVLife]

Completely depends on map if I am able to get a little flank going I would prefer the regular T44 , if I am going to be forced to face majority of tanks headon like North Holland or that weird Alaska where they blocked off majority of the map the 85mm is very limited on what it can do, and even if the 100mm reload is longer at least you can pen frontally most tanks.

[@SHEEPS_123]

@@DawgIVLife fair enough but thats what line ups are for, no tank is good at everything

[@MrPezsgess]

​@@SHEEPS_123 Not that I enjoy it more. It's just works better on my playstyle. The IS-1 has a big advantage in reverse speed. The armor advantage is not worth it when you will get shot in the turret anyway.

This should go down to 6.3 and then maybe they could add the T-44MS at 6.7. It's a T-44 with a two axis stabilizer, NVD (who cares abt this lol), and most importantly, the 85mm HEATFS. Kinda would be a sidegrade to the T-44-100. Better pen and gun handling but worse post pen damage. It was a product of the 1960s Soviets trying to keep the T-44 usable.

Where? even point blank the Fox can't pen the Tiger 2H Gunners optic, T-44 with APHE the gunner optics can be penned but its extremely hard to hit, Tiger could just turret wiggle and make itself very hard to kill. Why I bring APCR since it can pen the whole turret face.
