Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

T28 Concept

VII

6300

The T28 Concept is an American tier 7 premium tank destroyer.

The development of this heavy breakthrough tank began in September 1943. It was planned to utilize certain components of the M6 tank as well as the electromechanical transmission and 105-mm T5 gun, mounted in a turret of limited traverse with 203-mm armor protection. The vehicle was intended to assault the fortifications of the German "Siegfried Line" (known as the "Westwall" to the Germans). The U.S. land forces rejected the project during the design phase. The vehicle was later modified into the T95 heavy breakthrough tank.

The T28 Concept is available as a reward for completing the second set of Personal Missions.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Wide gun traverse, can angle the hull decently and also hide the weak side miniturrets
• Good all around armor, especially on the "turret"
• Surprising acceleration and engine power for its armor
• Great view range, better than the T25 AT and only bested by the T25/2 and the St. Emil by 10m
• First premium American TD in the game - can train same class crews without penalty, like the tier 7 M56 Scorpion

Cons:

• Very low penetration and accuracy for a TD, bad gun depression of 4 degrees
• Awful hull traverse speed
• Obvious weakspots at close range in the form of the miniturrets on each side.
• No preferential matchmaking or credit bonus
• Despite being a limited traverse TD, it does have a "turret" that can be damaged and jammed

Performance

While armor is great against tier 7 and below, this tank has multiple drawbacks. The armor is great only against opponents who are unfamiliar with the weakspots of the tank (miniturrets which are visible to all sides and angles). Hull armor can be penned from all sides by using premium ammunition by most tanks it meets.

When armor can't be relied on, the health pool is quite low and T28 Concept ends up dead in a couple of shots. Popular Russian 122mm guns can 2-shot this TD on a moderately high damage rolls. And three shot is guaranteed.

Low pen and accuracy by tier 7 standards, not to mention by tank destroyers standards, combined with high ammo cost and non premium credit profile (see accuracy comment) can make losses expensive, especially on non premium account. Also the rate of fire leaves much to be hoped for as low pen and bad accuracy make non damaging shots quite frequent.

Low mobility combined with bad gun depression can make positioning for a shot frustrating. However, when top tier it makes for a great corner fighter. Using a wall you can angle to hide one of your miniturrets, and the wall will hide the other. The good gun traverse allows you to take a sharp angle, and bounce many standard rounds. It can be an effective city brawler in this way, although you still need support to prevent you from getting outflanked.

Finally even the crew training part has a drawback as only the tier ten tank destroyers (T110E3 and T110E4) from the American tree have the same crew layout.

The following are consensus errors or inconsistencies which have been identified with the configuration of the vehicle in question and conflict with information available on the public record. The causes for these divergences in the game are normally not disclosed and may be rooted in game balance.
