T14 has been so hit or miss for me cause it relies entirely on people not knowing how to pen it. Sometimes I set a new personal record for points in a match, sometimes the first tank I encounter shoots me in the turret.

[@commandoepsilon4664]

In my experience both fighting it and fighting in it, it is more about how Warthunder is feeling, sometimes you shoot it flush in the side from 50m and non-pen with a 17 pounder, and sometimes a enemy Sherman scrapes the side of your turret and nukes your turret crew while also somehow getting a kill on one of the dudes in the hull.

I wish I got dumb enemies like that in my games. Most of the time enemies will go for the turret, which is only 80mm with a size able area that is completely flat. The T14 does still stomp when it’s down tiered but damn does it suffer at 5.3 when you fight panthers, tigers, Russian 85s that will lol pen you anywhere while the 75mm on the t14 will struggle. You could always do track and barrel torture but it gets very annoying pretty quickly especially when sometimes barrels refuse to bust.

[@michaelbeale559]
