The American T14 heavy tank (not to be confused with the T-14 Armata) is one of the best tanks in War Thunder. In the right hands, I would consider it to be better than the Sherman Jumbo. Even after Gaijin raised it to 4.7 where it can fight Tigers and Panthers, it's one of my all-time favorite tanks.

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.

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.

Wirbelwind: Hold my beer
Genuinely one of my favorite tanks in the game (in before it gets moved to fucking 5.0), because it's one of the few heavy tanks which FEELS like a heavy tank. You can actually break through enemy lines, you can soak up fire, you can contribute to the fight even if you're significantly outgunned. It's a brick, but she's a beautiful brick.
Meanwhile every time I attempt to play the T14 I just get lolpenned by the long 75 even when angled that's an entire 1.4br lower for some reason
5:43 As a CoD fan who started at World at War back in 08, this edit literally made my day. Thank you Spook, ily
I've honestly learned, especially with APHE, just aim for the cheeks of the T14 turret and you'll often kill it or wipe the turret crew. I don't struggle against them much anymore, especially since many play too confidently. If players took time to learn the tanks they face, they would do better and tanks like the T14, T-34, M4A5, Jumbo they'd all be lower in BR. But instead people never learn weak spots, never use the tactics that Jumbos use, like barrel shots and track breaks. I see it so often, a Tiger will have a chance to barrel shoot a Jumbo, shoot it in the MG port or at least aim under the gun mantlet which is under rated as you'll go through a lot if you're within 300 meters, but they'll aim for the mantlet, the angled armor and face it like the Jumbo won't barrel break or cupola them to death. It drives me crazy because the Tiger 1H can easily out duel a Jumbo if played correctly but 99% of them just don't know what to do. Even a lot of Panthers I see bouncing off Jumbo turrets and front plates when they could aim for better spots, track or barrel break and flank or anything but stand there, let the Jumbo load APCR and kill their gunner. But no, they'll just fire at the same area repeatedly hoping this time it'll go through.
I haven't laughed at normal gameplay footage this hard ever before. The T14 is a hilarious tank and the 75 mm M61 is an awesome round.

I've encountered that T14 many times in the last big event while using a T-34 STZ or 57. Best chance to pen I found was shooting the front just on the right of the gun, disabling the turret long enough to reload and shoot the side.
It's still great, wouldn't be surprised if it continued to go up in BR as the Jumbo did. I love to grind events in this, as its RANK 3 and has a very competitive line-up as the US.
This looks extremely fun to play
