@elfin marlin the 57mm shakes the 80 ton grave digger more than the 88mm gun shakes the ~60 ton tiger 1. Even the IS has a softer recoil with a 122mm gun.

omg tusbodi ur so right.. I'm in the american servers and I'm getting like 100 ping and I'm playing with people that get 10

real grove
#

@vast ermine i agree completely i am in australia and average 230 ping

humble olive
#

Very true about the ping, but some people also play on "bad" devices so they get problems with fps too...

iron hearth
#

my average ping is like 30 👌

My is 250...

I run 60fps with avg. 60 ping

If it goes lower, it lags, higher, it lags..

Ping under 20 from here

I play with 60 fps 80ms ping and about 2% packet loss

#

i guess the sp1c should be a little faster as much as lttb

#

Also 2 sec reload

#

Spic is super low compared to LTTB

unique scaffold
#

All tier 7 lights except the Bulldog and Type 62 could use a buff. Especially the SP1C

inner comet
#

Lttb doesn't need a buff

coarse harness
#

The T71 was decent when i played it, but that was more than a year ago🙄

sleek vault
#

tbh lttb doesn't need buff what i need is the stock gun get up tiered without any stats change so i could use it on rating

#

because who need a really long gun when you could achieve 100% manueverability there a very unpopular opinion

#

and about spc... i dunno fam it's already satisfying with current stats but everyone just want more from this boi

#

more shell velocity maybe? since the current one really slow

#

because using SPC kinda equivalent to using Revolver in FPS Game

unique scaffold
#

Shell velocity was supposed to be slow, to compensate high pen and damage. But now that they nerfed the pen to hell, made the autoloader slower, it has nothing really good on it...even speed is lower than all tier 7 lights

lament vessel
#

SPIC is the worst light in t7 IMO...

what about t71 lol

T71's 100 times better

#

@unique scaffold I think alpha should be buffed or at least The reloading time, kpf70 is a very situational tank

unique scaffold
#

I agree. The alpha for the T49 and the kpf should be buffed to KV-2 levels.

As it stands right now, in my opinion the only tier VII tech tree light worth playing is the Bulldog.

Here something for balance discussion, wargaming needs to get its mm straightened tf out, not give me 3 AFK's AT ONCE, and the game before this i had 2 afk's and 3 other people did 0 dmg, at tier 8 and up there is no excuse to do 0 dmg unless u were ammo racked , but these teams are just straight up bad and afk, the other thing wargaming needs to balance out is not letting kids buy prem tanks if they havent earned the tier, cause i lost a game because a kid with 34 games, 32% wr, 200 avg dmg, HAD 2 TIER 8 prem tanks and had a earned tier of 3, those are the kids that ruin the game because they buy a prem tank at a high tier then cant play the tier

scenic hound
#

That is bs man, I feel your pain

unique scaffold
#

Read the pinned messages @dense sleet

#

This isn't the place to cry about mm

dense sleet
#

Its balance discussion

#

im saying they need to balance out the mm so people such as myself dont get bottom of the barrel teams and then these good players get decent players and other god players

unique scaffold
#

Look at the pinned messages. This isn't the place.

cedar mist
sleek vault
#

well then just buff the velocity since the pen already nerfed and autoloader is now slower... simple right?

unique scaffold
#

But it wouldn’t help it at all, it needs a bit more pen and at most 3s reloading between shells, it has been over nerfed

sleek vault
#

aside from that mine opinion
spc still fun to play atleast they not removed the autoloader like in the PC

#

if they remove it nah there i would like to complain it but the autoloader still fun to play for now so yeah i wouldn't much complain

unique scaffold
#

I like to play SP 1 C but come on, I ace it with 1600 dmg

sleek vault
#

because nobody see spc interesting anymore since T49 coming duh... ofc you will get easier Ace Mastery since everyone leaving SPC

#

well atleast that is my opinion because you literally could be 1 shooted with it

#

well that is just what if scenario when getting high tiered

unique scaffold
#

Well I’m careful enough to avoid derps generally
But that 3.5s between shells disabled the autoloader since you can easily get cover and avoid the 2nd shell, and I think all tier 7 meds and lights deserve a pen buff, especially SP 1 C that had a strong pen

sleek vault
#

well i could agree that yeah some meds gonna appreciate some pen buff
3.5s enough to do 2x200+ shell with spc great gun depression (yeah i know because it's supposed to be like that) and because the maneuverability is really support it so i don't think it's necessary to reduce the shell loading time

#

lemme say this again "playing SPC is like you playing FPS game with a revolver, you need to know how to unload everything in right time"

#

well that is if you really want to maximize damage

carmine oracle
#

That’s actually really accurate

unique scaffold
#

Well comparing WoTB to FPS game is weird but ok
But I still think that 3.5s is too much and 3s at most would be fine

sleek vault
#

there is arcade shooting fps and theoretically WoTB is Arcade shooter with both TPS and FPS

unique scaffold
#

But we’ve got tanks and not humans, with armor and different roles

sleek vault
#

are you implying First Person are only applicable to human? it's also mean where you put the Camera, where you put the FOV, etc so it's applicable

#

there is also First Person in story/novel

unique scaffold
#

Nope I’m just saying that a tank game is different than a game with humans, regardless of the camera position

sleek vault
#

it's still same duh atleast in the paper
well anyway 3.5s shell reload is enough... take it or leave it

unique scaffold
#

3.5s is too much, because T71 can just outperform it
3.5 could be okay if SP 1 C had better mobility

sleek vault
#

its already have the maneuverability it's needed duh and then you compare it with a 3x150 shell autoloader tank?

#

you can't compare SPC with other lts on it's tier and that is truth

unique scaffold
#

Do you understand what I meant ? T71 can do the job of SP 1 C, but better, although it’s not its role, this is the problem
What WG did was literally give a tank a good gun to compensate bad mobility and shell velocity, then nerfed the gun.

#

Comparing SP 1 C to other tier 7 LTs would make no sense if there was no problem about this SP 1 C

sleek vault
#

T71 can do SPC job
there you wrong

#

also implying autoloader 200x2 shell not already a way to compensate an lts to keep competitive in it's tier

#

spc is just leaved by it's user because the current T49 meta

unique scaffold
#

But it’s not competitive anymore due mostly to bad pen
And T49 is also left behind because no one can handle it correctly

sleek vault
#

and then you think that HEAT pen is a joke?

unique scaffold
#

What’s the problem of T49 HEAT pen, it’s literally worse than SP 1 C AP pen

sleek vault
#

duh what i talking about is SPC heat

#

it's still enough compared to other and also SPC AP pen still enough to slice everything in it's weakest point except a VKP

unique scaffold
#

My bad
I do not use prammo and why would they nerf AP pen on SP 1 C, it wasn’t even overperforming
People just complained about SP 1 C platoons unloading 900 dmg in 2 secs
But just make the autoloader 3s and the pen 180 would bring it back into the meta

sleek vault
#

see that red arrow? that is the AP pen you talking about
see other pen?

unique scaffold
#

160 is still very bad. Btw do you see that 160 pen American 76mm?
And look how awful the DPM is, although that stat isn’t that relevant

#

Others LTs also have the manœuverability to flank properly

sleek vault
#

and you said the maneuver+gun depression still not enough?

unique scaffold
#

Gun depression is good, but pen isn’t clearly what it used to be, manœuverability is awful for a light tank

sleek vault
#

its has good terrain resistance for it's class
pen also good enough to keep up with other

unique scaffold
#

IMO all tier 7 MT and LT deserve pen buff.
Maybe it has terrain resistance, but other LTs have just better speed and acceleration, so it doesn’t’ really matter

sleek vault
#

when the acceleration is important, it's render useless without good terrain resistance

#

you should try play LTTB in 100% maneuverability if you don't believe it

unique scaffold
#

I played all tier 7 LTs
What’s the point of terrain resistance if your engine can’t make you move ? LTTB, T71, M41 and AMX 13 75 had no problem reaching their top speed, without equipment and provisions

sleek vault
#

and so spc

unique scaffold
#

But its top speed is lower
And it has less acceleration because of low engine power

sleek vault
#

you could always pick lttb if you want speed
also you not played every tier 7 lts btw

unique scaffold
#

Ok I do not played Type 62 but all tech tree LTs tier 7
T49 ATM seriously ?

sleek vault
#

and one more you forget mention there is other lts in tier 7 too

unique scaffold
#

T49 ATM is a T49 downgraded to tier 7, not balanced and removed from the game. It has no importance in our tier 7 balance discussion
AMX 13 57 is kind of special and I wouldn’t compare it others

sleek vault
#

there

unique scaffold
#

Let’s talk tech tree
AMX 13 57 is too unique

smoky yoke
#

It was not removed because of imbalanced , it was removed course the event for the tank was over

sleek vault
#

fair enough but amx 57 f is still lts

unique scaffold
#

Ikr, I didn’t’ say that T49 was removed because unbalanced, I said that it had never been balanced cause it was for fun
AMX 13 57 is too unique, we can’t compare it to others

#

Why play any tier 7 tech tree light when you can just play the Type 62?🤷‍♂️

#

@unique scaffold
Because I’m poor

sleek vault
#

let me tell you again SPC is fine as long as you

  1. didn't remove the autoloader
    2.has good balance between weight to ratio, terrain resistance, and acceleration
    3.reduce the gun depression
    also said that by who own E25
    down me got point
unique scaffold
late tiger
#

@unique scaffold not a lot of people can afford buying everything in the shop including me...

sleek vault
#

play bulldog then simple right?

unique scaffold
#

@sleek vault why would owning E 25 make any point in our LT discussion ? This little TD has nothing to do here.
And SP 1 C has worst tier 7 p/w ratio + autoloader is meh

sleek vault
#
Because I’m poor

ok re***d

unique scaffold
#

Bulldog really does leave the competition behind when it comes to tier 7 tech tree lights.

smoky yoke
#

"T49 ATM is a T49 downgraded to tier 7, not balanced and removed from the game." Cough Cough

unique scaffold
#

@sleek vault I bought it 2 years ago, now my situation has evolved lol
@smoky yoke not balanced and removed from the game doesn’t means removed from the game because unbalanced. It just means that it has nothing to do in balance discussion, since it was only fun event

#

The most irritating thing about the T49 ATM was right after the update that nerfed the standard T49 the ATM was still in play. That stupid thing had the module dmg that the T49 used to have but at a tier lower.

#

Btw I prefer AMX 13 75 over M41. I like autoloaders

sleek vault
#

T49 ATM is WG Social experiment btw "so what if we put a T49 in tier 7 and see how we could rebalance it after recent backlash from T49"

late tiger
#

I remember how you just shot another T49ATM/T49 right on the fron and 100% they got ammoracked

smoky yoke
#

T49 atm is coming back btw

unique scaffold
#

Eventually

late tiger
#

@smoky yoke where did you see that information?

unique scaffold
#

@unique scaffold. I'm all about gun handling. The M41 has an amazing ability to land shots on the move and with the single shot gun has a 4 second reload. No other tier 7 tech tree light comes close to it when it comes to dpm.

smoky yoke
#

Mhhmmm to find it now, it was in questions and answers from streams, go to blitzposts and read through you will eventually find it

unique scaffold
#

On the subject of being poor... I picked up the Lorraine this morning and it is awesome.

sleek vault
#

im gonna leave it to you
SPC doesn't need decrease in it's shell loading
it's still competitive even with 3.5 s

unique scaffold
#

@unique scaffold well I find that meh since it’s meds job to deal dmg and they do it better, I prefer the nice spotting abilities with autoloader that can be dissuasive, deal 480 dmg then run away

#

To each their own.

#

Personally I think anything over 2.5 seconds when it comes to interclip reload is way too long. Why play a SP1c with a 3.5 second interclip when I could play a M41 with a straight 4 second reload? Sure you've got higher alpha but when it comes down to putting out the hurt a M41 really has much more potential.

#

Sure, the M41 gun can do a good job and the mobility is lovely

late tiger
#

@unique scaffold than you do not like IS3 defender

unique scaffold
#

I don't have one and have zero interest in Soviet Heavies.

#

I'm not a fan of playing heavies at all. I'm very much a mobility over armor type of player.

#

Oh I’m not the only one
Well I like IS-2Sh but this one’s more of a German VK45.02B than another IS tanks

#

Give me a mobile tank with a good gun and good gun depression and I'm happy. Armor is for pansies.

late tiger
#

@unique scaffold I like meds and lights too most played tanks are from those classes but I got the IS3 defender from the unlucky spin and I absolutelly love it with the 7.5 sec interclip reload (no sarcasm)

unique scaffold
#

Enjoy it man but like I said that isn't my type of party.

#

Mobility and armor are for yoloers. A big gun is what a tank needs
A 183 player

#

That same player thinks their tank will blow up if they leave spawn. @unique scaffold

#

@unique scaffold How dare you, no one was supposed to know that !

smoky yoke
#

Bring back the 1.3 reload on amx 13 75 that would show you a good time, I used that tank for the Vindicator event and dominated, I literally went on a 60 win streak, to a point where tier 7s were suiciding on me xD. I refuse to play it at the 2 second reload , doesn't have the same impact as before

#

I remember just off loading and running away, as you can see I haven't played it in a year

unique scaffold
#

Well I still love this tank, with 1,3s and un-nerfed accuracy too much people were using it as a TD (well not even as a TD, just kemp bush 4 the W)

smoky yoke
#

Well If you played it before the nerf , you understand the pain of seeing how the tank turned out afterward, all beaten and bruised into submission with all honor and glory taken.

unique scaffold
#

I agree that they could have kept 1.3s reload since they nerfed accuracy

smoky yoke
#

That would have been great

#

I would still have it in my garage if that would have been the case

unique scaffold
#

BLITZ has a history of excessive nerfs. I've long said that the Blitz development team should have a hidden department that takes any proposed balance changes and divides them by 2 before they hit the game.

#

But have you noticed that those excessive nerfs mostly hit lights and meds, and when they hit LT/MT, they’re not undone?

#

Yes

#

I wonder why they give advantage to HT/TD over LT/MT

jovial kernel
#

because why should skill be viable

grave bear
#

because as in wot pc(but in a minor impact) mt and lt are op

unique scaffold
#

They’re not OP at all
Meds spamming prammo are annoying, yeah but not OP

grave bear
#

maybe not for playerbase, but for superunicum it is
NOW they"re not op, before tier X meds nerf they were op, like tier XI tanks

#

they had all more pen and more turret armor, also more difference of dpm, go flank in hulldown and win 100% of the time
now , lucky us, isnt like this

unique scaffold
#

True

grave bear
#

t62a against you = lost battle (costant 300 dmg every 5 seconds because no one was able to pen its turret when driven by super unicums)

lunar niche
#

Still unnerfed on pc. But they have a lot of broken/op tanks.

unique scaffold
#

Because lights and mediums allow a skilled player to use mobility and map knowledge to a better effect then heavies or TD's. This isn't saying that good players don't play those tanks just that they (in most cases) cannot affect the course of a battle like a well drive light or med. By nerfing these tanks Wargaming is indirectly trying to nerf skill. That is not easy to do though and by nerfing a tank to the point that will affect a skilled player they make the tank very hard for the average player to be successful in.

At least that is how I see it.

deft owl
#

Maps needs to be fixed. Meds and lights should have enough place flank heavies. In current maps its nearly imposible to flank without getting spotted. Maps needs to be bigger.

I'd say hp buff bc it has decent armor if angled

lament vessel

Yes, T28 needs a buff...

dim field
#

Id like it if T28 got at least some kind of engine buff or something it's got a tier 6 engine.

red condor
#

The T26E4 needs a better engine... tier 6 engine in a tier 8... I could probably beat a T26E4 in a race with the kv5, which has a much more powerful engine and the same speed.

unique scaffold
#

Kpfpz 70 needs at least a reload shortened of 1 sec without rammer. 16.6 seconds is too much for a 152 mm American gun who does 530 dmg instead of 640 like the 150-152-155 mm other guns

unique scaffold

152mm guns in general need to be looked at. There is certainly a lack of consistency in their capabilities.

The problem with you so called pros is your ego, and you use the WR as a form of abuse, I may have 48.43 but before Christmas it was 49.24, just because you have high WR means squat as i have battled with players who's stats were 60.15 and they played disgustingly and we lost, many of you so called 50%ers head for the obvious spot on map where the enemy have advantage you skyline and they shoot holes in you happens all the time, so instead of wasting your energy whining about new players how about offering tips and help instead of abuse, as this is a game and there will always be new players.

@sly rivet ,my wr down .1 since just before Xmas , it's matchmaker not individuals, I have over 50 k battles , I was slowly getting up to 50% , .1% is a massive number of losses, over 6 months of gains with my number of battles lost in 1 month, matchmaker does not seem to use ping either

R3D I disagree I have taken New Players into clan that don't meet clan requirements they have thrived helped by our higher %ers, what most players rather do is abuse because their poor WR goes down, on the Asia server its a language communication problem many times, maybe having a communication for tactics prior to battle would would help heaps as you get mediums and lights going one way and heavies going the other way ending up with no support

@sly rivet I know there are players who will accept help but most i met and tried to help just got me a F** off instead. I've stopped since then.

Players can improve themselves wether by watching videos or learning the strength and weakness of their tanks. Thats how i improved. Majority of players refuse to improve and just drive and shoot.

@sly rivet Not saying every players under 50% are noobs. I was pointing out how majority of players under 50% refuse to improve.

5K battles is a lot. You learn a lot from that amount of battles. I still see players with 16k/35k battles under 50% wr staying back and sniping with E100/IS 4. That is the problem. They refuse to improve.

@unique scaffold @severe valve I agree with both of you. The 7/1 needs a little something. Not sure exactly what, but something.

Then again, I think all three British Mediums from 8 on up could stand a little love. I actually think the need grows as the Tiers go up.

The FV 4202 just feels so behind the curve with the overbuffing that the Russian Mediums keep receiving. Great gun depression isn’t very important if your turret can’t even bounce lower tier shots.

T-150 was nerfed on mobility making it only good in a straight line and the really only thing it has going for it is its armor even tho that is mediocre

Does anyone else think that the waffenträger auf PZ IV needs it's reverse speed buffed? Id be okay if they even took off a bit from its forward top speed and just slapped that value on the reverse speed. Waffenträger is a great tank, don't get me wrong but sometimes it's just kinda sluggish with its 37kmph average forward where even some heavies are outclassing it with speed, I mean have you seen any of the IS tanks, or can I show you the various mediums at tier 9 *cough cough t54 is the one most seen *

#

I absolutely love waffenträger because 276mm OF PENETRATION BOI, HIGH SHELL VELOCITY BOI, NOT TOO BAD ACCURACY BOI (you get my point) and not too bad reload at around 9 seconds, not jagdtiger DPM but it's the same top gun just configured for the waffenträger, and it has pretty good camo values so it can stay hidden pretty well . Just the speed needs to be buffed by a tiny bit

fiery flame
#

@latent copper I think it’s fine as it is, if they buff its speed you will get a similar issue they had with the Grille. The tank is meant to be a sniper thus it doesn’t need a lot of speed like heavies and mediums do.

latent copper
#

The grille got nerfed badly with speed on blitz but it should live up to its glorious pc counterpart, a highly accurate gun on a low armoured but very maneuverable chassis. It's still viable I think but the waffenträger still needs a very slight speed buff

#

I don't mind it being entirely different, like how the AMX CDC isn't the best thing on pc or console but it's great on blitz but that's my opinion, goodnight

fiery flame
#

Well they nerfed the grille because it was too good, just like they nerfed the Russian mediums because they were too strong, hence now they much weaker that their “glorious pc counterparts”.

T-62A has the same dispersion as the Grille 15

Which brings me to another topic, should I get the 140 or the 62A, I'm 160k on the HEAT-54

twin egret
#

what you do most

#

do you snipe or do you charge in and fire on the move

fiery flame
#

@latent copper they are both great tanks, T62 has the better gun and a better turret but the 140 has more gun depression, that’s the only difference

twin egret
#

Obj is more accurate when shooting on the move

latent copper
#

@fiery flame apcr has high shell velocity, so I won't doubt it having better shell velocity but the grille fires armour piercing rounds as its standard ammunition, so I'm not sure if it's a fair comparison but I do know that apcr has higher penetration loss over distance, making ap better in some long distance engagements

#

My playstyle depends on the map entirely, open maps like canal allow me to snipe but dynasty pearl is a lot more suited for brawlers

twin egret
#

T-62A than, its accurate and has a strong turret

#

the t-62A is bigger than the Obj 140 tho so don't expect it be able to turn around effectively in tight corners, paths or corridors
by length btw

fiery flame
#

It’s hard to decide which one is best, just get both of them and see which one you like more

latent copper
#

Thanks for that, better armour usually means higher survivability and also higher DPM seems great in 1v1 situations

Gun depression isn't really common in russian tanks so I may be taking the t62A

twin egret
#

Don't expect having a very good hull tho since it's easily penned by HESH
the front hull is bad

latent copper
#

I'll get both because I love my t54 and most likely won't sell it so as I farm up more I'll just get them accordingly

Obj 140 has a very good hull when using all its -6 degrees of depression, reaches 310+mm

Dear DEVS, the matchmaker is not broken, but some times it is not balanced. 3 unicums against 1 superunicum with scrubs as team, that is a nightmare.

Anyway, what I am saying is you need to teach these scrubs how to play correctly from the beginning! The tutorial need to be redone. Teach new players what is the meaning of sidescrapping, hulldown, hiding behind bush, etc.. not only shoot 2 small tanks and be done with it.

For the past 2 months that ive played tier x, its been a very cancerous and unenjoyable experience; what feels like most, and im definite, more than half of my games have lasted 2-3 minutes or have been complete steamrolls. I havent had fun even in a winning game. As I have experimented with different tiers, it seems the only thing that has changed has been how powerful the tanks are. Tier x is a power donkey battle arena. Today i played only 2 battles, one lasted 2.20 minutes and the other ended in my team calling me a coward for not rushing into a cap circle full of enemy tanks with the counter at 0 cap points, but instead trying to flank and play sensibly.

Even armor wont save a noob these days as he will probably got sit in city alone or just climb a hill and stay there to snipe.

The AMX AC 46 should be made smaller and the weak points at the top should be removed, to make it a more competitive tank. It seems like all the French td’s suffer from this problem

Oh and also i would like to talk about the british TD line, from AT2 to Tortoise. I feel like this line lost its role in the game since the maps are getting bigger and more open, making the whole line incapable of following the team. Also jt is too supseptible to flanking since it can’t follow the team! And since it doesen’t have the mobility to poke or chase any tanks, its low alpha dmg makes the whole line, well in my opinion, somewhat obselete. I don’t know if anybody agrees but i feel like it needs a change.

I think the VK 100.1 P does need some armor shaved off the sides or the turret sides, reason being that it seems like most light tanks cannot pen the sides without prammo which means a light tank absolutely has to get behind it to pen.
I know the point of light tanks is flanking but they should still be able to pen on the sides at least, I mean after all I can pen the side of a KV-4 with my tier seven Bulldog with difficulty but I don’t seem to pen anywhere on the 100.1 except the back.

I realize the 100.1 is basically supposed to be a tier VIII Maus but it is...a tier VIII tank. I do like your idea about weakening the cupola. Honestly I think the 100.1 is more powerful in its tier than the Maus is at tier X.

@summer mist IMO T28 HTC is fine, just don’t consider it as a TD. It is more similar to a Maus than similar to a TD, it’s almost unpenetrable frontally (only tank that can pen it when angled are ISU-152 and HEAT-62, both broken). The bad gun balances it, and if it gets buffed then T28 HTC would be OP

lunar niche
#

@stark mica VK is not supposed to angle its turret, hence the smaller cheeks.

stark mica
#

@lunar niche I know, I’m mostly referring to how strong it’s hull’s side armor is.

lunar niche
#

Only the bottom is strong at 240 mm flat on. Upper side hull is at 130 mm flat.

Only retards shoot on the bottom.

stark mica
#

My main point is that it’s hard for any light tanks to pen anywhere on the VK except the very rear. With my Tier VII Bulldog I can pen the side of a KV-4 with some difficulty, not the VK.

lone warren
#

@frozen jackal theres a difference between a tank being able to have strong armour and having a tank that if it hides its small lower plate its pretty much invulnerable. The cupola is too strong and mediums have a weak chance unless they are a higher tier. Even if you flank a vk p it can be a pain to be damaged. A tank that can be flanked and can still consistently bounce shots off the side of the hull and turret isnt balanced

stark mica
#

@lone warren I agree with that.

fiery flame
#

@lone warren have you seen a IS7 hull down?

lone warren

and?

lunar niche
crimson cosmos
#

I just don’t see the issue with the 100.01. Heavies can pretty much all pen the lower glacis and cupola. Mediums probably need prammo to be consistent. And Lights have to prammo the sides or shoot it in the lower half of the rear end. For a Super Heavy all that seems perfectly reasonable.

But I’ve also put shells from Lights through the forward quarter by targeting the drive wheel outside the side skirt. And you can always nail him in the gun barrel. It’s a much tougher shot, but it will help.

Yes, I do have one and I enjoy using it. But I also don’t live in absolute fear of seeing one on red.

lunar niche
#

I don't see why a tier lower tank has to pen a superheavy, a tier higher, from the front.

fiery flame
frozen jackal

@lone warren the tank is really slow and it has very long reload time, if they would nerf it's armor it would be too bad and nobody would play with it

220mm on a “weakspot” isn’t really all that weak

lunar niche
#

@fiery flame 208 mm cupola. It was nerfed from 220.

lone warren
#

It wouldnt be too bad it would be more balanced. All im really asking for is a minor tone down on the side armour so its more in danger to a flank. Im fine with the cupola being strong and the lower plate being small if I can flank it and be able to pen it lmao

stark mica
#

Exactly. I have no problem with the VK having the most armor at Tier VIII. It just needs a very very slight nerf to its armor.

fiery flame
#

@lunar niche when exactly did they nerf it???

lunar niche
#

@fiery flame Before their release on 5.5 The HP was reduced too.

fiery flame
#

Wait I thought it only came out in 5.5?

lunar niche
#

They were being tested before that. The HP was around 1500 or so and the cupola was the same as the PC at 220mm. IRC, they also decreased the mantlet armour.

fiery flame
#

I wouldn’t count that as a nerf, tank characteristic are always tested and rebalanced before release, well with a few exceptions cough cough keni otsu

crimson cosmos

@fiery flame How does that image look if you use Calibrated Shells? Or APCR? With the image you’ve posted is it really all that much different than if you looked at an IS-3 head on with AP from most other Tier VIII tanks?

@crimson cosmos oh boy is it different, one sec, I’ll show you

Rebalanced is the same as nerf unless it is something like the 640 alpha guns of 150-55 mm guns.

IS3 shooting IS3 head on, with it showing its strongest armour

crimson cosmos
#

And here’s the AMX 13 90 firing head on from 250m with calibrated APCR. Not too shabby in terms of number of viable target areas IMO.

#

Same shooter at the same range. But that’s a much juicier target now isnt it?

fiery flame
#

APCR does much less dmg, if you can only pen a tank using premium rounds I think that it is a little unbalanced, I personally think only the cupola needs a nerf, sides can remain the same for all I care

crimson cosmos
#

I only used APCR to show that even a same Tier Light can hurt it from the front if it needs to. You may well be right that with all things being equal a minor nerf of the cupola will give opponents a bit more of the feeling of hope. 😉

p.s. You did notice that in both your Russian tank images the shooter is firing slightly downwards on the tanks?

fiery flame
#

Camera angle stays the same, since I was looking at the VK previously, which is a taller tank, it has shifted the angle slightly. I can repost the picture but I don’t think it makes any difference or changes my point about the VK needing slightly weaker armour on its cupola @crimson cosmos

crimson cosmos
#

You are probably right. A 0.03 percent change in the amount of red vs green don’t mean much. 😉

I don't see the big deal. They turn like a boat and are slow as hell. On top of that their DPM is rather low.

Don't engage them. Kill the rest of the team and then deal with the VK.

VK's are only a problem if you let them play their role. They are there to soak up hits while the red team dishes out damage. Don't play their game.

@unique scaffold 100% correct. Vk100 is super OP when properly supported in a strong position but it’s lack of mobility and low DPM make it a very team dependent tank

I agree, in tournaments we normally deal with the Maus last as their dpm is appalling

T28HTC on the other hand needs a traverse buff or more HP or something. When high tier corner fighting with team support it’s tough......any other scenario it struggles. Can’t move, meh gun, huge weak spots, low HP. No gun depression. 😂

How about wargaming devs consider making attachments give a bonus to the tank it’s attached to, like say: a hidden stat? And they should incorporate ERA the defeats explosive type shells for the first hit. Game is getting repetitive so adding something that requires a choice besides 3 shell selections for tank wouldn’t be the main consideration. Maybe a hit box that requires a superbly placed shot that can cause actual blinding of the player using the tank (within the game) not like a person is gonna have perfect sight in real life if they take a hit that normally takes out the crew

somber mauve

@civic turret it would make the game p2w, since all attachments have to be purchased with gold, and WOTB is never meant to be a "historical simulator"

Oh ok so the $500 I spent to get t22 (literally less than 200 away now) was so I only acquired something that looked cool.. ok I won’t finish it and won’t do it again.

ERA isn’t me asking to pay for something. It means explosive reactive armor. And that would stop most pramo ammo like heat and he first hit. Certainly not asking to buy something.

I'd be fine if the turret side armor was toned back a little bit. I've gotten so many low pen rolls or just unlucky bounced off the flat side of its turret.

Kind of the point

orchid grove
#

Exactly. It's not very big anyway, but it's super obnoxious that it's invincible when hull down save for lucky hits to the tiny cheeks

uncut osprey
#

Maybe tone it down to 45

orchid grove
#

That would defeat the point then; everything would ricochet if it were 45

jovial kernel
#

Eh I think that tanks with bad gun depression finding hull down spots should be rewarded but with the IS-4 it does kinda get pretty stupid

uncut osprey
#

3x gun caliber rule means anything with 135 mm gun would pen

jovial kernel
#

So only TDs and like the E 100

orchid grove
#

So only TDs and the E-100.... Because what competitive needs is more TDs

uncut osprey
#

Well now its nothing

jovial kernel
#

make it 39 so most mediums get screwed with but heavies can pen maybe

uncut osprey
#

Do you really want meds to all pen the roof though? That kinda defeats the armor. @jovial kernel i agree with that

orchid grove
#

Just so we're clear, remember this is the weakspot we're talking about (at least how it is on PC). Even if that spot is easily pennable, the armor is still very strong

uncut osprey
#

But that defeats the point of hull down if the enemy is even barely above you

orchid grove
#

That's like calling the 113 a weak hull down tank because you can shoot the cupolas. Are they pennable? definitely? But can you reliably hit them? Defintiely not

uncut osprey
#

Its really not that hard to hit the top of the is-4’s turret in game if you can aim, atleast to me

red condor
#

Mk6 needs the cupola to be shorter..

jovial kernel
#

@uncut osprey I'm just asking do you main the T-62A and also have insane luck because that's the only way I can imagine you hitting something that small reliably

uncut osprey
#

I use the m60 and usually if im even slightly above the is-4 i can see the top of the turret and hit it( not pen as its 75mm now)

jovial kernel
#

If that was a weak spot IS-4 drivers would put in more effort to wiggle

uncut osprey
#

Not many people even know how to wiggle the gun to block the turret anymore

orchid grove
#

IDC about how pubs play it, I just think it's kind of annoying how many of them there are in tournaments

jovial kernel

they could just move the hull around a little and shuffle their tracks around though

Even WG doesn't even care about how bad players play a tank; they only look at the stats for players with a 55% WR or higher

Hence why the LTTB got butchered even though the average Joe dove head first into the enemy team and died

The t7 car in my opinion has too little pen, while it’s fast enough to get the job done, I can seem to pen any rank I fight from the front, and the reverse speed of other vehicles is generally fast enough to make it so I cannot get behind them, but my problem isn’t speed, it’s pen; it has 27 mm of pen when the pen booster equipment is active, and the t2 light has 43, as a stock non-boosted gun. Idk if it’s just me but it’s kinda boring to see red every time I play this tank

Guys, I noticed something strange, how come the M6A2E1 has 200+ rear turret armour and the EXP has not even 90? The model of the turret is also the same. Is that an error from WG? I find it most unfair, since the EXP should be a more advanced and better equipped version of that M6

#

WG accidentally dropped a zero when setting up the EXP rear turret armor

@unique scaffold the turrets may look the same but they have different armour profiles, the EXP has better frontal and side turret armour while the M6A2E1 has better rear armour. Why, I do not know but that’s just the way it is

@iron lynxif i write a ticket to WG telling them this error, do you think they would fix it? It's simply not possible, the turret is practically the same, even the model is the same

terse summit

Many players in the blitz community, mostly the good ones, have been complaining, and since I am also one of them, I decide to voice my opinion in favor of my UNI0N clan mates, and probably many other veterans in the game. The “nuking half the lower tier tech tree” move was not the best idea. With the loss of many lower tier tanks, you have many newer players that play lower tiers want to play higher tiers, since it offers more variety, which crippled the win rates of many of the veterans, me included. Also, seal clubbing is far less common now. Besides, newer players can now only draw experience from watching experienced players play higher tiers, instead of the old seal clubbers that could set an example earlier on for the newer players.

#

So, in general, newer players are not getting enough experience and diving into higher tiers with insufficient experience in the game, and they’re getting yelled because of their experience, which I’ve seen to rapidly grow in consistency. This causes a huge tension in the player community, and I would really want blitz to add more lower tier tanks.

#

Yeah WG I wasn’t a big fan of your tech tree re-modelization

worn sierra
#

gold was good for me lmao

unique scaffold
#

Let’s be honest. Seal clubbers were ruining the game by using OP tanks, and getting wrecked wasn’t very instructive for new players. But I agree that deleting most of the low tiers tanks wasn’t a good idea, as there is no much different gameplay : players arrive to tier 5 and they don’t know what is a TD, what is an heavy tank...
Nerfing the seal clubbing tanks would have been a better idea

I’m not referring to ke ni Otis’s and tank’s like that I’m talking about tanks like the DW 2, the covenator (my baby 😭), tanks like that that were removed. Pz 3 was a big one. These are tanks that I thoroughly enjoyed that weren’t broken. But now they’re gone 😦

@terse summit the panzer3 A I think is a collector tank and yes that's true however what I ment was more of the seal clubbers are still there

Seal clubbers were playing OP tanks, they just needed to sit and wreck new players. New players had nothing to learn from those players unable to win at higher tiers

crystal spoke

@unique scaffold not all seal clubbers played lower tanks just bc they went good at high teir

Seal clubbers played low tiers to have better stats or just fun, but it was definitely easier for them to win at lower tiers with OP tanks

i think that it is tough for any game developer to incorporate real world armor statistics and weapon damage in to games like these. it is even more difficult when you can have three different tiers in one battle. but in wars like WW2 it was common to see Stuarts along side of Shermans trying to hold off german Tiger(2)s

The 3.8 Equipment system totally broke a lot of tanks. Low tiers where never balanced for some of that equipment. While WG did cut deep on 5.5, they did remove the ‘Army of One’ tanks that caused a lot of new players to fail to adapt to higher tiers.

#

Let’s face it - you can’t yolo around tier 9/10 like you can in 1-5. The lower DPM in low tier tanks, SHOULD (key word should) create more team work. If folks want to $ past those tiers, so be it. We’ve always had new players in premium tanks. 2014/2015 Löwe anyone? Tank was dreadful back then and you cringed when you saw one on green.

terse summit
#

I actually like the new equipment system with the choice between rammer, calibrated shells, or camo net verses optics, etc., because everyone in high tiers just sat behind a bush, especially TDs, and they just used camo net and optics, and would just spot and can kill everyone in the battlefield. Plus, rammer was more op back then, and the dpm was even higher with the combo of vents and rammer. Was too broken that system of equipment. I prefer this equipment system nowadays, but I hated spare parts and timers. I mean, if spare parts could be hell of a lot easier to earn, then I wouldn’t complain, but the timers were really a bad idea. Thankfully WG removes both, and rewards were given. I just love the new equipment system and hope that WG keeps it.
