This tank is so broken. This tank has needed a nerf for ages and its better late than never. Lefh needs a nerf too but that isn't researchable like the M44 is and doesn't have stun.
I believe this tank needs an overall nerf to its gun and shell characteristics.
Tank needs a:
Higher reload
aim time
turret traverse
dispersion
reduction of shell velocity of 30m/s
maybe a decrease of 2-5mm of pen
Its bad to the new player experience to have such an OP SPG that can easily club new players. New players at T4 who are unfortunate to see this beast will get 1 shot. If they aren't 1 shot then they will be smoke within 30s with such a high ROF especially if not carrying a small repair kit.
Its been said before and needs to be said again, nerf this broken OP M44. I just hope some WG employee sees this and passes this on because its very discouraging when everything 1 shots you at low tiers and this arty does it with ease. No other arty spells annoyance than a M44 or Lefh at mid tiers
If you think this arty is not OP then you must be those M44 players with over 2000 battles in it or that guy who rerolls every other day with a date as the username just to play the M44. Yep must not be OP to play it for that many battles. /s
