Pershing/Patton facts and nerfes history

So they aren't giving Patton an accuracy buff in 6.6?  
We will probably never get back our Pershing now, also all the points u wrote live are true, especially i got ammo racked for the first time of my life with a tier 9 US medium.
I ran some tests on how bouncy is the Patton turret.
For the test, my friend picked a panther 2 with a semi- stock gun (high ROF, average damage).
He shot at the most worst angles and managed to penetrate 95% of the time.
Tested in hull down as well.
Sorry i forgot to take pictures.
The "Bouncy" Patton turret is basically a one big fraud, and can only bounce tier 5-6 tanks.
If u bounce on it somehow, ur lucky as the enemy had its aiming bad or aimed for a corner.
You can forget about bouncing shots from high tiers in CW especially...
We basically got nothing in the new Patton, only nerfes, simply as that.
Its sad, that probably the least of the best of tier 9 mediums got nerfed, just because it had high win ratio.
As pershing/patton drivers are usually much better then T-54 drivers.
Mark my words, if Patton will keep leading with win ratio despite the nerfes, you can expect a second wave of nerfes incoming.

Most of them "old pershing" stats.
Btw imho that stats means nothing.Let me explain to you why?
First of all For "old pershing", "new patton" owner's has a better win ratio or dmg ratio or whatever you want ratio.Do you know why?Because their tank is not a sth like a piece of cream.They can't rely on their tanks so that pushes them to play carefully than ever.So they play cautiously and that make's their stat's better.And let's look to the T-54 owner's.They have really good tank and they have a confidence on their tank and they are ramboing! so that give's them bad stat's.They don't care to much how they play because they know they have an OP tank.Do not tell me that is not like this.I had T-54 at the beta and i have Patton now and i am also playing with my friends accounts to test other tanks.
Except American TD line i have played with every single tank/td/spg at this game even in beta too.So please do not think i am stupid.At least i know sth about that tank's and about their mechanics.
