Kranvagn underpowered

Draschel: Do you know that on cliff, westfield - on the exact opposite of the ridge you are on, are other enemy hulldown tanks too? Occupying their side of the ridge? What kind of stupid thinking is that? And you can think whatever you want, the fame i got there bought me M60. Where did I say -brawling- VS 279E? I said SHOOTING one. Do you know how to read? Tamaga should kick you out too. You play too much pubs. 300 HEAT pen with 840m/s. lol  Good luck having your team hit the dancing EBR. But Chieftain's APCR.....nuff said. That 300 pen simply isn't helping you against a Chieftain on the other side of the ridge. In fact, STB1 turret even has NO GREEN on it, with 300 pen HEAT. 325 APCR actually opens up green pen markers on STB1 with chieftains. Then you have less flank armour, no sideskirt, less HP so arta just bomb your tanks faster. Or heaven forbid EBR, arta, 110E3, Leo pen your Kran in the side with HE, that just won't ever feasibly happen with Chieftain. And horrendous movement dispersion with that aim-time, shooting at something outside of 200m is like going to work. How can you afford hardening, you can't.  Not a single top clan::  Aster, GIVUP, -G-, Mahou, Relic, Youjo, Crackd, TT6 call for a Kran as preferred CW meta tank on recruitment specs. Not a single one. Nice try professor. 260, 279E, Chieftain, 907 are asked by many.
