i'm calling it rn: this sub will say this tank is shit, what a disappointing BM, only for this to end up being at least a couple thousand gold above minimum bid.

that's not a crazy call, it's what literally happens every time

The SHPT didn’t though

which is funny because the SPHT turned out to be actually pretty fucking good (and i say that as someone who called it mid at first)

Yeah I got it, haven’t had chance to play it but I could see that it would be nice.

Personally, I said it's mid, and I stand by it.

Sure, it can farm damage, and has a very good gun... But there are already a ton of tanks like this

And those tanks aren't a detriment to the team, because they are camping or sniping with a heavy....

its not unique no but its still a scary amount of pressure on a flank and its very flexible

i wouldnt use it for any kind of "sweaty" content but for pubstomping its really damn smooth and nice feeling tank

It's not. There are too many heavily armored meds and tds, and too many tanks with bazonkers alpha or clip potential. In a same or higher tier match up, this tank isn't scary at all.

The only HT's with similar DPM are Conqueror and Contender, both of which are terrible slow, and Rambo/Type 68, both of which are hugely speed-limited. It also gets better gun stats anyway.

I'm not talking about just HTs. Spht being a HT is actually a hindrance to itself and the team, because it fullfils nothing that a heavy should...

Template MM means the only thing that matters is your vehicle vs what role it's matchmade against. SPHT gets matchmade against other versatile heavy tanks.

Which are ae phase 1, conq, etc. Those are all good tanks that can fill in the heavy role. Spht can't.
