Hello,
I am very curious as why this tank only has a 105 mm cannon which for it's tier, is not very good. The repair costs are very "Rip-off-ish", if you will. It costs about 12,000 Credits to repair this tank. May I suggest that in the next patch you could include a better cannon? Being very pleased with the purchase of my beautiful T34 Premium Tank, I am glad I bought it. I used it to help grind my way to the T32 after wasting 950,000 on the M18.(Not my playstyle) I love the American Heavy tanks so far, love my T29, T1HT, M6 (Sadly Sold it), and my T34. I am very disappointed in the T32. I do realize you might say, it does not fit my playstyle, but I have not had problems with the other Heavies. Me as a happy tanker, soon to be pilot and sailor, would highly suggest something be done about it. I have asked around in games what people thing about it, and about 60% of people say it's horrid, but that it would be good with a better cannon. Doing about 4 to 500 damage in the T34, then going to 250 damage if your even lucky to penetrate them is not a good move.
Thank you for your time, SilentxXxHunter

You are not the first person to ask for a better gun and you will not be the last. Sadly, the T32 will probably never get a better gun seeing how this question has been around for....well forever.
The 105mm is actually pretty adequate for the T32. The weak gun gets compensated by the strong armor so even if you don't penetrate a few shots, you should still be able to survive. You just really need to know the weakspots of your enemies if you want to play this tank well.

The reason I suppose is that everything else about the tank is actually really good. It's mobile, the armor isn't bad, and it has access to tactics that no other Tier 8 can employ (hull down, etc). And actually, that 105mm gun has superior damage output to its competitors.
So, it's not so bad on the T32. I might even say that it's the best Tier 8 heavy, at least for myself.

It is fine. The 105 is OP for the T29, much of the reason it is in the opinion of many as the best tier VII heavies. You get to the T32 and now you have enough hull armor to bounce a shell or two at an angle. It is fairly mobile, since you have a T34 I am sure you notice this. The T34 gets a better gun, but is slower and has a weaker hull plus a longer reload. My T-series stats:
T29 302 Battles 161 Wins 53.31%
T32 275 Battles 144 Wins 52.36%
T34 487 Battles 253 wins 51.95%
M103 310 Battles 139 Wins 44.84%
I include the M103 as those were primarily T34 battles prior to 7.3 patch. Yes it sucked badly prior to unlocking the 120mm and it is a better fit where it is now, but the T32 % is right in line with the others and I would be confident to say I had the most steel walls in it, not as confident about any other medals.
It is a good tank for tier VIII not the best or the worst, I think the IS-3 was my favorite VIII heavy.

I dont know, its just hard to adjust. I think it seems much more worse because I'm used to the T34's supreme firepower. I'll keep working it.

No, I wanted it changed because people I ask say it's crap or too undergunned. It's not that it doesnt fit my playstyle, it's just the gun isn't strong enough.
