I understand the 75mm SA50 was developed from the KwK 42, but the 138mm penetration for the KwK 42 has long been ridiculously undervalued; now Wargaming's poor research is screwing the French tanks over aswell.
For your information, the Panther I would have been unable to penetrate a T-34 frontally beyond 500 meters in WW2 if its KwK 42 gun was only capable of 138mm penetration at 100 meters against flat/unsloped armor.
In reality, the Panther I (and the Tiger I with Kwk 36 aswell) were capable of penetrating the T-34's front hull from beyond 2000 meters, with numerous combat reports (from both sides) supporting this.
While I can understand the Developer reluctance to rebalance much of the tier 5 to 7 German tank guns, there is no absolutely no reason to repeat the same mistakes in an entirely new tree.
Unless of course, the Developers responsible for this are still (somehow) convinced there is no mistake, and all the research I and others have done is completely pointless because said Developers are standing around with their hands held over their ears while chanting "la la la, I can't hear you!" over and over.
