Buff Vindicaror from 2 to 6 Degree's of gun depression. Give's it 250 pen on the prem Heat and 88 on the HE. then It would be just perfect
It needs no buff
It’s really bad, big box with -2 of gun depression and no side armor. Only good part about it is the nice dpm and the fact that it has protection against HEAT frontally. But that’s it. Not to mention HEAT is it’s standard ammo so can’t shoot through a fence 🤡🤡🤡
Wait Vind has -2? Lol clown tank
It’s not threatening until it’s a tier higher than your tank
when is anything not threatening when it's a tier higher than ur tank honestly lol
When you master your loltractor in a tier 3 game
Can someone explain to me why the British td’s have overpowered consumables and the other tanks don’t?
because there adding new consumables to every line slowly
They need to give the IS-2 a better reputation as a heavy tank, kinda sucks.
60 km/h Grille day 1
Jageroo 38kmh day 1 +sum extra hp noice
Leaving other tanks at a disadvantage is improper in my opinion, I’d rather have to wait more time and have all of them added at the same time. @crystal spoke
i think they said something a long the lines of there trying it on a few lines or something idr
Buff wz 120 gun dep to 4-6 and buff charioteer dpm by a little and buff challengers alpha and traverse and aim time please all those really need improvements also buff amx 30 1er HE dmg avrg to 350-400 i always do less dmg with HE on that tank then ap might be a bug or something?...
no buffing already buffed tanks nor bufffing ok performing tanks
Charioteer needs an aim time buff, not some expensive crp consumable that makes 2 shots aim fast for like 6k credits. Wz-120 should have 5 degrees of gun depression.
The Challanger needs dpm and/or gun handlig buff
On the WZ-120 4° gun dep would be enough with it's current stats
I was thinking 5 the smallest bump and the gun flys up
5 would make it broken tbh. 4 is probably optimal, as its gun and turret is so bloody strong
Obj 140 has 6° with 240 turret armor wz 120 has 220 t 54 has better hull armor with 200 turret armor and 6° too i think
but the 120 has a 400 alpha gun with nuts aim time
Besides, artificial gun depression is a thing
WZ120 needs no buff, it already has an excellent gun. Poor T54 already only has better hull armour and gun depression over it
Wz120 need gun depression buff
Still it is in the bottom of the charts even after it has better everything than T54 according to u
There is lot of difference still....you can't snap shot in Chinese meds and in case of meds in general moving accuracy is more important which most of the 121 line has bad
Like I said, it already is better in about everything than T54, yet you want more buffs for it? Can't believe this E: How come ? It takes what makes T-34-2 great, but gives it actual DPM too. Sure 3 degs of gun dep and stuff, but that is the only real downside @mellow cape . You can't buff the tank downsides only or you end up with pretty much the same tanks in different tech trees
Tony I think you should try it yourself first, its really not as flexible as T-34-2
Why i have to do 645 dmg with HE against a Grille 15 using my Kpfpz 70 when a T49 against WT does also 800 or 900 dmg???? They share similar guns, at least buff the HE alpha in Kpfpz, damn it, there's no point in switching from APCR to HE
@unique scaffold you got different gun caliber from these tanks
It should at least be 780 like the t49, hopefully they implement it in the future @unique scaffold
@unique scaffold no difference in caliber, T49 and Kpfpz 70 share models of the XM conventional 152 mm american gun
Black Prince is not OP, I repeat, Black Prince is not OP
Now they can’t because they just sold it cheap in the shop. The lower damage probably results in having it balanced as 640 damage with such a dynamic role in the battlefield might be a bit too annoying to deal with
Tiger 1 need a buff
In The real world was the tank very Dangerous, now is only ok
.
Why isn’t tiger 2 getting nerds
nah Tiger 2 is fine
Don’t nerf the Foch the Foch is BaLaNceD
I see that leo 1 is on par with T62A any plan to give it some love ? :3
@unique scaffold simply means HP nerf
Tiger 2 would do Fine with a nerf on the lower plate though It is fine
Progetto nerf makes sense I guess I bounce shots on it a lot probably the nature of the tank
What does “dynamics” mean for the progetto nerf
(TY ribble)
@soft spindle engine power and hull traverse speed
@honest urchin Tiger 2 doesn't need nerf on lower plate. Turret cheeks.
If the FV215b gets a massive health nerf wouldnt it get a bit more of front hall armor buff "on the higher plate mostly" (despise the consumables) ?
Where is WZ-120 rework? That tank has had some of the lowest stats in tier 9 for a while and its still not doing better even after the buffs. Its a weird tank to balance but I think it should get a DPM nerf and gun depression buff along with alpha buff to 420/370 to make it more similar to WZ-121.
@mellow cape wz 120 does not need a buff, not at all, in the current state it is a great tank, i played it after the latest buff, give it 2 more degrees of gun depr and you got yourself a new OP t9 med and you might aswell say bye to the t54. @unique scaffold before commenting take a good look again, realize that you are wrong. @summer hornet the number of T22s is too little
@quick dock I am referring to when the tank faces t7
If Tiger 2 turns turret the sides become easier to pen whilst still being very difficult for t7s and it represents the E100 line more
and also the the tank is slow and has low alpha so I dont think it needs a nerf
How much that camo after shot in grille 15 will be buffed? Or theres planning to increase slighty camo while moving too?
The Foch will got buffs?
Bye world of tanks blitz
Hi again world of tanks PC
Where is T-22 stats
@unique scaffold half buff half nerf. Whether or not the buff will overcompensate the nerf remains to be seen.
KpfPz 70 can increase throughput??
good to see the 121B rof buff now add an extra degree of gun depression and do something about the weak ammo rack and fuel tanks ! also the amx 30B fuel tanks are weak as feck !
@lusty silo I believe that these aren’t good changes, the progetto will still be overpowering the meta, as it will keep the most broken part of it the same, the gun. It will also dominate with the nerf of the foch, which isn’t good because the gun is the only thing that really makes it great, and it is balanced with the terrible turning speed and aim time, which the progetto will benefit from. The Foch’s gun and armor are balanced with the weak ammo rack, and bad side/rear armor which decent players can easily use to kill it
@true relic please, please read the changes again before writing a paragraph. Also all you talked about the foch is just funny.
According to me KpfPz 70 needs to increase throughput because it will not break the T10 armor at all so Buff needs at least a smaller Buff for Throughput
@true relic the vital thing about progetto is autoreloader. We don't touch that. Also all the changes i mentioned before won't be significant.
What will be the damage per shot of foch 155 after nerf?
They can't even show the WR on the Panther and the Indien lol
@remote oriole it's not about the 1% rule
The WR on those tanks were lower than the minimum on the charts
“tanks only over 1% of battles”
Oh and, I think the buffs and nerfs are good calls. Now I’ll wait for 6.7 or 6.8 to see if they will do something with the Tiger II
i spent 60k gold to get the foch 155 then you nerf it WG? im really not happy
So WZ121 out performing Progetto after buffs but still hit progetto with nerf bat... sigh!
Why is foch getting a reload buff?
But why did you spend 60k gold to get a tech tree tank? I got it for free by just grinding.
Rock they are nerfing its damage per shot so i guess to keep similar dpm
At least it wont Insta killa grille if ya big Hecc.
Makes sense figured they would just nerf the auto loader reload to make it so that the tank couldn't just 1200 dmg a Target in like 5 seconds but a damage need would also change that. so I just don't know why wg went with the dmg nerf instead of reload nerf. Maybe make the clip reload a little longer idk
Are The gun changes to foch For which gun or both? IS that confirmed
|
\ /
autoloader
@lusty silo will the rate of fire buff on the Foch 155 be on the autoloader, or non autoloader gun?
@unique scaffold 560 I believe
It should be on the autoloader
Wait there is information about the buffs and nerfs? If yes can you send it here plz
Foch 155 will be buffed and nerf to the more original and better design.
Ooer, less than 1% for the Indien Pz in Update 6.4... that's gotta be due to players opting to grind the Leo 1 via the Ru 251
The Indien's such a good and reliable MT
They’re most likely buffing the regular gun, not the autoloader, but still, I’m disappointed. All they had to do was just nerf the autoloader
@lusty silo do you think you could give an idea on what the foch change would look like (which gun, what alpha)?
@shy wren I thought they had less than 55% WR
Where is the text covering buffs & nerfs? Can't seem to find it.
can anyone explain me why the E 50 M caused me 1000 damage by ramming me? I played T-62A
Why is the base HP of the 215b being nerfed? That's just stupid. They should just take away the provisions that gave it that HP in the first place. Now they're just forcing people to buy the HP provisions, which is stupid
@unique scaffold
#devs-answers
Cmon WG. The Fv215B was before the consumables an absolutely fine fine tank which could perform very well. And now you nerfing it? I mean thousands of people told WG that the consumables make the FV broke and WG didn’t listen but now they nerf the tanks base stats? Crazy! Just put the sandbags away and give it another skill.
Lol where do they find these ppl that voted for the new consumables Bc I dont know one person in favor of them
i really see no big issue in them, more flexibility.
Why is WG so slow to realise what’s happening?! It’s clear the tiger 2 needs a nerf, at least a lower glacis nerf please
It’s not a nerf, the Foch is will be even stronger with a higher RoF
What will the average alpha fpr the foch 155 autoloader?
wow they actually heard me when i was saying the 121b was performing really bad, all saying the tank was great lol 😂
Lol
@karmic steeple
Buff the T28 (Turretless TD)
Ik that but where are those 600 ppl defending it in any of these chats
Any active ppl on this server don’t like it
Tiger 2 nerf?
Why fv215b getting an hp nerf?! It should get a consumable nerf
Well the IS-8 is in one of the three worst tanks in the charts for 9 months
The tank is definitely not bad just hard to play but I would like to have 1° more gun depression (5° atm) instead of some stupid armor buff
It would be more flexible an easier to go hull down
Nerfing fv215b hp really?it has good hp for the armor it has
Yea if their provisions were being too effective, they should’ve just made the hp bonus smaller
IKR. Hopefully the hp nerf won’t be a lot. It is a key tourney tank so don’t destroy it
FV215b nerfed because of unnecessary consumables and provisions lol.
Exactly
am i really the only one who doesn't mind the nerf on the 215b ? ?
I’d prefer getting rid of the unique consumables.
That is what is throwing things off so badly
Then just nerf reactive armor. It’s not that hard
Too OwerPowered the Foch.. Why again will got buffs?
WG seem to be about to make some smart decisions, hopefully they won't go to far (and ofc they will be implemented much later than they should have been) but it seems like a very good step forward. I would prefer a gun traverse nerf and a hull traverse buff for the grille but camo buff is alright, other than that good job WG for actually listening
Also the lack of the tiger 2 nerf isn't great but it isn't as important as the higher tiers so it's not terrible and could still happen
but everybody’s complaining about the foch being op and the tiger 2 is around the same level imo. It’s got a good gun, and amazing armor+decent speed, looks like to me that wg is just kinda ignoring it
@true relic oh yes bro my twin, I feel the same about this broken tank
who cares about the tiger 2 tbh or any other tier tier 8 , the only tiers that matter are tier 9-10
If the lower tiers don't matter how would new players get to the High Tier?
Higher tier balance is much more important than lower tiers, that's why the Kenny is still how it is.
The tiger isn't as broken as the Foch imo, it's got less weak spots but its gun doesn't completely outclass anything that it can come against. It's still way too good but not as stupid as the Foch is
i mean the foch's armor is about as good as the tiger's gun tier for tier, and tier for tier the foch's gun is as broken as the tiger's armor imo, but tier 8 is also pretty close to high tier and where a lot of players play and grind
60 km/h Grille day 2
@unique scaffold I suspect it will be an alpha nerf to the autoloader, and a reload buff to the single shot.
Though how you nerf a 155mm alpha...
🤔 inb4 its the foch 120
@drowsy plaza you pull a kpz 70 to the alpha
Still hoping on positives 4*400 autoloader that would take skill to use but it seems unlikely
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/502017295107883008/656128587895668767/6.5_-_tier_10.png?width=851&height=473 pls remove 183 or balance it tank is worst tier x tank from more than 5 months
I bet that the Foch nerf will turn out a lot like the T54E1 nerf.
Foch autoloader will probably be nerfed down to 560 alpha, and the reload time will just be buffed to maintain a similar amount of DPM compared to what it has now, since a straight alpha nerf without DPM compensation would be absolutely massive
So useless nerf thats what's you mean?
I think they are trying to get it to where it cant 2 shot a grille (and other tanks) in 7 secs lol. If dpm stays the same, might still be okie for yoloing and brawling. I hope
The Foch change will mean that it won't be a massive burst damage machine. It'll be more dpm focused
It can't be a DPM machine, it already is a speed demon and a great armour @tawny sail E: @hot sun Sure they may do it, but they absolutely shouldn't
The nerf and corresponding buff might say other wise. I can see it becoming more dpm oriented
Lol it's armour is only good against standard rounds, once you load premium it's paper thin, not to talk about you can easily pen the drivewheel with apcr.
The speed is only effective when moving, when it's up close it relies on its decent traverse and the gun traverse is poor. Stop crying about everything about the Foch when the gun is the main thing about the whole tank.
👆 👆 👆 👆
You don't even have to load gold for the drive wheel
You can pretty much overmatch it even with a BC
I would love to see Foch nerfed to the ground
It is the second tank that I feel so much hate for after pre nerfed 183
I would love to see perfectly balanced tanks🤷🏻♂️
@tawny sail since when a tank have to be balanced on pramo ? The Foch armor is really effective, if pp Switch to pramo they Lost a lot of dpm, so Foch armor is usefull+it has great mobility+Amazing gun
Oh so when the fochs armour can only be reliably penned by premium it's not okay, but when the maus's armour can only be penned by premium it's fine. Cool cool.
Like I said, shoot it in the drive wheel from any angle and it's the easiest pen.
Did you just say that? "Speed is only effective when moving"??? Amd did you just compare it to a Maus? Which is million times slower and with a million times worse gun? Agent bond, you're speaking nonsense, Foch has crazy everything about it, it needs a massive nerf, anything else is a terrible balancing by WG. The foch should ideally be something like AMX AC 48. Strong frontal armour and good speed, at the expense of a somewhat lackluster gun for a TD. Right now, that's just not true and that is unacceptable
Oh so if I have 100kmp top speed, but I'm not moving or just holding a position, my speed is effective? And yes I compared it to the maus. And no, after these changes to the Foch it'll be fine as it won't be a massive burst of damage, it'll be dpm
yolo noises intensify
That straight line speed is what allows Foch to take important positions in the map while Maus can't reach such advantageous positions....Foch has everything armour speed and gun basically WZ120gft of its tier but slightly worse
560(480)700 would be ideal alpha for it...and yes 150mm guns have this alpha
I hope for 600 alpha on the foch 155. Anything less and its not accurate alpha for the guns caliber
Doubt it. Probably gonna be changed to either 460 or 560.
Probably 560
really
@vale sun isn't it going to be -8°?
They readjusted it after some open tests @empty ice
the above image is from the WG facebook page
Gave me a few giggles
Now WG does Memes about their "balancing"? They must not let us know, that they are just screwing with us, stirring up the Meta at each update instead of doing actual balancing. That's when you are trapped between reason and profit. But why adding insult to injury!?
So update is coming Wednesday according to 62a chart
Yeh probably
Tues night for NA perhaps (like 6.5)
So foch won't have a 155mm with the new auto loader?
For 183, WG can remove AP all together, with 303 mm HEAT as premmo and 140 mm HESH as standard round(no change to alpha).
This will insure that some skill is required to work with heat round( IMO AP is just too easy to use with high pen and encourages camping).
Same for the HESH, 140mm is good enough to pen sides of lot of tanks and its not an automatic 1300 slap on the face.
Then buff the tank around that to playable level.
Why has the WT PZ4 not been nerfed?
@empty ice just -7, fail of the year((
foch 155 with 560 alpha dmg and more dpm... mhmmm but how much he rounds will deal dmg? I think that about 640 should be good for balance idk, and that reload between shells, it will be far far decreased from 7s to idk, propably 3s when it must be dpm machine, from that news about nerf i didn't see it at all, is see rather completly foch's gun rework
560 alpha with something like 4 or 5 sec intraclip and about 15 sec clip reload would be good imo
but... that magazine will be far more effective in some cases, u will deal 1120 burst dmg in about that 4-5s than 1280 in 7s right now... (results: foch will not hide in that reload between shells at all) far far more effective, the only think that will be worse in that reworked gun is less HE rounds dmg that won't kill grille from that full magazine
Destroying Progetto, how sad. Literally the only tier 10 I play. 😥
BUFF the IS-8
@ember basin we all know that progetto is really good tank but the only reason that this med is propably the best in tier X meds is that have this special magazine, THIS makes progetto super effective, but other thinks right now: accuracy? very good but one of worst in tier X meds, speed? in some cases quite good in acceleration, turret travese speed good, about 58 km/h max speed, gun? 350 alpha, 1050 burst dmg in 9 seconds, armor? very trollish and paperish, this tank right now is more like light tank with quite small turret and -9 gun depression that allows to do tatcics from leopard 1 - high risk, high reward, it has magazine and good speed to spot - tactics from batchat, this tank right now is like leopard 1 and bc 25t in one, +it has that SPECIAL MAGAZINE... far more effective and annoying than both of these tanks
With a nerf it won't even be worth playing. Just like everything else that gets nerfed.
Yeah... this is tank that required some skill to play it well, but... right now this is like in foch 155: when it will be in your team, u will get more chances to win battle in that cases, these tanks right now are real gamechangers, the worst think in nerfing these gamechanging tanks is that this is very hard to do that, to make them more balanced, AND to not kill them (like in charioteer, real legend, but only in one update... and then rip, nobody plays it)
Reasoning that a nerf of any kind is a reason to not play any tank is void of logic
Where are people getting the sources for the Foch, 215b and progetto nerfs?
Ok thx ^
Buff grille XD
its getting buffed, sir. Give me a min to find the exact wording
Cancel that, #devs-answers gives it all
yeah... grille will get finnally very very useful buff, normally it is somewhat balanced.. but that bad camo destroying it completly... that only think... c a m o, last key for grille to success, but how much, this will decide about grille statistics
Not void of logic at all. If something is made broken, then there's no use trying to make it work. I'll go play something like T22, AMX 30b, or STB. Which is sad, because none of those are near as fun as Progetto. This is really the only nerf I'm not happy about, because Progetto is already hanging in only by a thread. Oh, and saying if you have a Foch on your team increases your chance to win, then obviously you've never played on Asia server. NOTHING increases your chance of winning if the player doesn't know how to use their tank, which is like 90% of cases right now (with any tank). I've seen Foch get destroyed by a t9 light more times than I can count. It's all about the player, not the tank.
I was talking about it in a general fashion for an undefined nerf that is unknown for any given tank, and from that you cannot conclude that a tank will be broken and especially not that one shouldn’t play it anymore
I think that the FV215B183 should be brought back to its former glory when it had 152mm front hull and turret armor, better accuracy, better concealment and mobility like it had before, but they should replace HESH with APCR or HEAT with around 380 pen and decrease AP pen to 300.
Or just decrease the HESH dmg to 1100 just like on the Conway and give it some engine power in return
Or u kno, just remove it
I wouldn't mind that for a generous compensation🤷🏻♂️
Who her knows how to side-scrap on W.O.T???
i'm sure people will disagreed about that @teal frigate
finally 121B will get some love next patch... they buff all teir x meds except 121B.
Ran into my first Sheridan. He didn't last very long.
@celest pewter
10/10
Future adjustments:
121B - rate of fire buff;
Grille 15 - concealment after shot buff;
FV215B - HP storage nerf;
Foch 155 - damage per shot nerf and rate of fire buff;
Progetto 65 - dynamics, accuracy, aiming and stabilization nerf;
Standard B - accuracy and stabilization nerf. (I support changes)
after minding about the foch nerf, that won't be nerf, this is just rework to even make this td even more broken... bruh
You don't even know exact numbers but you are already complaining
FV215B is already terrible except for high firepower and then it gets nerfed
wdym the fv215b is a really strong tank rn, and it even has the dumb consumables
60 km/h Grille day 3
Why KV1 is again modified ? PLease WG put to KV1 the armor values of the historical KV1. Flank armor datas are not historically correct.
Whats funny is FV215B wasnt touched, just got the OP consumables and now its being nerfed because of it
Instead of nerfing the consumables or removing them ideally, wargaming is nerfing the tank
@coarse harness Numbers... but i know how they propably rework that foch's gun (idk just minding), foch... with 2 shells magazine dealing 560 dmg... they said that it will get better reload, propably beetween shells... when they do that, foch will be a lot easier and even a lot more dangerous than foch before rework of this gun... right now, foch deals 640 dmg, 2 times cuz magazine... but... it has somewhat blockade to be more broken and agressive... yes... this reload beetwen shells (7 sec) when they reduce it too much, this will be far more agressive and sneaky at gamestyle, soo, the only think that can not making foch more op is only full reload magazine buff (with that 560 alpha dmg)(but... it propably needs that very very slighty better reload beetween shells, i think that 5-6 sec would be enough, nothing below)
@mellow cape I can only agree fully with you
@mellow cape WG does have a habit of messing up and when things get out of hand then come to realisation
Spare parts saga and timers was also a mess up which they understood later on and reverted it
They should listen to veterans .....it not like we want to destroy the game
They did the survey and voting was done I personally think that many players who voted are not in a habit of using provisions regularly....they cost much credits if you don't have premium account....I remember trying to use them when I started the game and used too much silver back when I didn't have any premium tank or premium time...instead of doing a discord survey they should conduct in game survey of players having 5k or more battles and ask their opinions on this matter
Asking any survey here is never going to get decent info. @indigo knot to me consumables should be tested and validated the same way new tanks are. Of course it would not work in ‘normal’ tanks on live server, so WG would need to create variants of all the tech tree tanks for testers to test new consumables. Have each tester run 100 games in the tech tree tank and then 100 games in the tech tree* tank with consumables and see how they affect results. Right now the vast majority of the 55-65% ‘balance’ players use high end consumables - including a number of the ‘super consumables’ so it skews results - and as we see from the 215b nerf that tanks are being hit due to those consumables.
KV-2’s RNG is fcked up, it can now ammorack easy and i think it’s a problem cause it can also hit targets easier when moving now.
KV-2 is a completely balanced tank. @fierce lantern
The KV-2 RNG is no different to other tanks.
It is a big target with virtually any tank it encounters it will be penetrated by.
Long time to reload. + Long aiming time.
I would get why you would assume it is OP. It has high potential but it is only when it’s in the right hands, but then again you can say the same with other tanks.
Yes 640 alpha at tier 6 is completely balanced, not forgetting the 960 HE alpha with good pen especially at that tier. It's not like it has a better gun than tier 8s and 9s at all and it should definitely stay in the game and not be removed and all memory of that failure removed from existence 🤦♀️
KV-2 is not balanced, its unbalanced and underpowered at the same time.
Derp guns are impossible to balance in a 7v7, the ability to instantly take away one person from a 7v7 by just luck alone is unbalanced and the tanks other poor stats (long reload, poor accuracy, long aim time, not great pen) can't balance it out.
KV-2 is a tank balanced by focus fire at most, and not by the tank stats
@distant river The only good thing about the KV2 is the alpha, literally everything else is garbage
The pen is okay, and the HE still works wonders
@remote oriole If it is balanced by something as "reliable" as teams then it is unbalancable
@wraith lance It has dpm as well, and it is still played by way too many people. For some people it's op and for some it's awful. This is because you cannot balance 640 alpha at tier 6 let alone 960 alpha
So it has good alpha and good dpm, but still, every other aspect is horrible. It's literally a hit or miss tank
And that's what makes it unbalancable 🤦♀️
In what Dimention does it take an intire team to kill 1 kv-2?
The dimension where Stalin is driving the KV 2 and the opposing players forgotten about the button that allows them to shoot @acoustic shard
KV2 is a joke. It doesn't matter if it has a ridiculous reload or has a big bloom. The fact that it can one shot over half the tanks at that tier pretty often makes it unbalanced.
Imagine that concept being at tier 10 in the form of a 183. With 2000 HESH alpha, would you consider it balanced even if it had say a 40-60 second reload?
^ it is impossible to balance, that's why half the playerbase is complaining about how op it is and the other half is complaining about how bad it is. It just needa the 152 removed and then swapping out of the tech tree for the T-150
Yeah, idk why it hasn't been made collector instead of T150 in the first place. T150 fits the line theme so much better and KV2 fits the collector theme better. But the truth is, the tank is quite garbage rn but still annoying to play against. One of the mods here calls it the WoTB slot machine, and it is quite fitting indeed
IIRC WG said they didn't remove the KV2 because it was 'sUcH a pOpUlAr tAnk', which IMO is a pretty lame reason
No it make's perfect sense. All the other
tech tree collectors were tanks that that no one really played in the first place like the t150. Or the kv-13.
Hey, i played those regularly. They're pretty dang good if you know what youre doing and how to make use of the armor on them
Dont remind me of that. The ace chase when i actively tried took a while.
About the KV 2 discussion I will say, that if it is nerfed/buffed in any way, shape, or form, it will anger half of the community. As a KV 2 lover myself, I spend my time and effort to make my kv 2 as deadly as possible (gold rounds, gun enhancements, crew etc.) and to see that beauty being nerfed to the ground or removed will make me want to quit this game. I played as other tanks against it, it’s biggest weakness is that it is an enormous target that can be penetrated and also hunted down easily if it exposes himself too much. This is why the KV 2 shouldn’t be touched as to make the community happy and not in open hatred to this discussion.
If you are a lover of the KV2 then you leaving the game will make tier 6 better 🤷♀️
If it removes the part of the playerbase that like camping, doing one shot of damage and dying while depending on rng to do well then the playerbase will improve...
People would just switch to the next highest alpha tank, you are very naive if you think removing the KV2 would do something significant @distant river
@night grail You think I play tier 6 or that I can't easily take out a KV2? 🤦♀️
@wraith lance The SU100Y is much more balanced than the KV2 and it would make a pretty big difference, especially at tier 6 seeing as it's a prem. After that it's the KV-1S which is also much more balanced and can't 1 shot tanks and actually needs skill
Any large alpha gun has balancing issues in Blitz, the KV-2, the 183, the T49, the old T82 😉 The KV-2 and SU-100Y are unique however as they can one shot (no ammo rack) tanks in tier -- the 183 can't - nor can any of the others. I mean look what happened to the 183 now. I mean the Smasher is OPAF - but it is somewhat balanced by it doesn't see tier 5, and often sees tier 8. The biggest issue I see with the KV-2 now, is it is really the first tech tree DERP that new players run into.
KV-1S : 390 Alpha = Balanced
KV 2 : 545/640 AP Alpha + Longer aim, reload etc. = Balanced
HE rounds can be used but then again it’s HE rounds. It’s only for paper thin targets.
Where is the anomaly? @distant river
The KV2 has a lot of HE pen for what it is, the whole 'only for thin targets' thing doesnt really apply. For instance, it can pen the front of a KV1S with HE @night grail
Reference
@night grail KV-1S has 400 alpha so nice job, and 640 alpha is more than 50% extra on top, and 960 is almost 150% more. 76mm of pen at tier 6 is more than enough for meds and the sides of quite a few heavies and TDs.
@wraith lance Removing the 152mm gun when making it a collector would solve the problem. The SU152 is much more balanced because it is a tier 7 but I still think that the alpha is too high and I would like to see it nerfed to the kpfs alpha
Then again, what’s the disadvantage of a big lumpy gun? Everything except the high alpha. Take British FV215b 183 for e.g. It can take away 60-70% of health from a normal T10 vehicle. KV 2 is mostly the same as with AP you can take away atleast 70%. I can say the same thing for both tanks with HE shells. @distant river
Lmao so you are trying to say the KV2 is balancable because the 183 is balancable 😂
Both of them don't belong in blitz and the sooner they are removed the better tier 6 and 10 will be (and tier 5, 7 and 9)
@night grail Lol no, you're completely stretching the truth. The 183's AP has 930 alpha, which is ~40-50% of a tier 10, while the HESH has 1300 alpha, ~55-70%. Generally the players at tier 10 are more aware and play better, but yet it was one of the most complained about tank prior to the nerf.
Meanwhile the KV-2 eliminates 50-70% of a tier 6 with AP and 100% with HE. Oh gotta mention that tier 6 is filled with lightly armored tanks and way less skilled players that are new to the game.
And it's the RNG factor that's the most annoying. You roll a dice for a chance to one shot a new player. Yeah, sure. Balanced.
@charred bobcat
And forget about tier 5
I've yet to find a game where a KV2 is the sole survivor. I'm always happy when I see one if those in red team. So meaty to shoot at, so fun to play peek-a-boo with.
Everyone is complaining about the kv2 being able to one shot BUT remember the rng part? Yeeeee it basically means that unless you fight it on reeeaaally close range it would have to be just as lucky as any other tank to hit you, it is somewhat balanced imo, why? Well the only good thing it has goin for it is the high alpha and the one shot factor, then you have the most unreliable gun in the entire game low shell velocity bad pen even the he shell pen was nerfed the longest reload in the entire game and so on ._. The armor isn't as reliable as with the kv1 either, for a heavy that's quite low unless you don't aim and keep hitting places like the mantlet it shouldn't bounce
KV-2 is a RNG slot machine and that is the problem with it. It doesn't take any skill at all to mash the fire button and hope that RNGesus lands a one shot kill on some more medium across the map. That is the problem with the tank. It appeals to players who can't do damage in a normal tank so they have to depend on lady luck landing a one shot kill to some poor schmuck. It is a bad mechanic to have in the game. It creates bad habits in both the players who use it and the players who fight against it. Even worse it does this at a tier where players are at their most impressionable. I get why it appeals to players but any unbiased observer should be able to see why it is bad for the game as a whole.
So....swap for T-150?
It should have been nerfed and made a collector. The 150 makes much more sense in the tech tree.
^^
We all know why they kept the kv2 and not the t150.........
If the kv2 is balanced then what is smasher? They ddint remove the KV2 cause it would be very controversial because it's such a icon. It's like Gaijin removing the Maus,ppl will think it's dumb and they'll leave,decreasing potential profits for Gaijin. War gaming needs a specified tutorial on how to counter the kv2 and maybe it would be less influential in a battle.
The kv2 on paper has garbage stats and is clearly a garbage tank and if it is that bad then tell me whats the attraction that leads players to defend it? Surely a tank so horrible wouldnt have a loyal fanbase unless it wasnt balanced unlike some other vehicles also seen as godlike
Memes, that why ^^
The memes aren't even funny tbh
It’s does give me a good laugh when I one shot leopards
High alpha tanks will always make you watch your step before yoloing or peaking around the corner. Unexperienced players have to feel the pain of getting hit by a kv2-shell whenever they drive thoughtless.😉
I find kv2 actually very well balanced.and extremely fun to play.like everytime I feel game get boring,I play the kv2.this tank is very powerfull and in the same time very horrible.somtime it more like RNG tank.but I can admit that HE shell are way to damaging.even heavy tanks are not safe from it
Its funny how players try to justify kv2s one shot ability, "they shud be punished" lmao yea getting punished by being destoyed in one shot from a long distance (prolly from a corner ) so that these players will also now sit in spawn with a big gun
But it does happen doesnt it? One shotting tanks shudnt be thing anyways, like a jag or 183 r better in this respect as they atleast leave u with some hp left after the so called "punishment"
And i m not talking abt how good the tank is, i m just talking abt the one shot ability and how it shudnt be present in the game no matter how rare these shots hit @unique scaffold
@cunning kindle it happens way too seldom to even be taken in consideration, let's be real here, KV2 is not that big of a threat like it used to be, an ARL or a M6 are far far better in every situation if we r talking strong heavies. That is sooooo stereotypical i really can't trust a thing u are saying.
And it doesn't happen rarely, i remember playing tier 6, quite a while ago and the kv2 platoons r the most toxic ones, they'll one shot tanks from spawn and just spam global chat with "ez" etc, they'll yolo one tank if their team is losing and they r in a 2v7 or 2v6 and just one shot a tank each and its really annoying
They ruin the newer players experience is what i m trying to say coz most new players dont know abt HE and that they can be one shotted
Well i havent played tier 6 for quite some time so i mite be wrong now abt the platoon thing coz wg did introduce some equipment (??) @unique scaffold
my only tier 6 tank is kv2,and tbh is not that good as you thing, yesterday I only win 1 game of 5 game. because of the horrible aiming of this tank and also the new equipment make tanks get harder to pen with HE shell.
I dont understand why people's complaints about this tank.a skilled players will easily outplayed the kv2 with other tank. but tbh camp with kv2 is the most toxic thing I ever heard 😂 also new player will learn they lesson to not come infront of this tank and yolo around anymore.the only problem I found with kv2 is the HE damage. it so stupid to even be able to kill heavy tank in shooting infront of it.( but It get really harder because of the new equipment)
maybe they should make some changes in MM and make kv2 only face tier 6 and 7. because tier5 are so dead infront of this massive gun kv2 got
I love how everyone trying to argue that the KV-2 is balanced is literally proving themselves wrong 😂
If it is sometimes great and sometimes awful, and you do badly in it but you can do stupid things in it then it is clearly unbalancable 🤦♀️
so, if a tank is unbalancable, doing great sometimes and awful other times, that means that the tank should be removed? Game is based on RNG so i really cannot see any issues with the thing
but nobody gonna use kv2 as tournaments tank.so it defenlty not great tank otherwise serious team would use it
also new player should learn how to deal with this and other tank in future they gonna see. I so many player pop around the corner when they know there is kv2 aiming there.why you do that? what are you really expecting to happen?ofc you gonna get rekt in medium or light tank. they will learn to dont pop around corner when they know there is tank that literally can destroy they tank.
@unique scaffold Why should a tank not be removed if it's unbalancable?
New players will learn to not be aggressive at all and camp all game because they are afraid if some standard KV2 driver camping spawn and waiting for someone to try and make the game interesting. This makes them overly cautious at higher tiers which leads to the campfest that is tier 10 which isn't what this game should be. @still kelp
The only issue with the kv2 is mostly its HE shell. If WG doesnt nerf that, the only alternatives I see is increasing percentage of the module that reduces HE damage from 130mm and higher guns. (Or add a provision that adds to the current 10% HE reduction). Cause if they did that, players who refuse to use HE reduction equipment deserve to get derped
Actually I commonly destroy enemies in tournaments with KV-2 when we “meme” them... it’s... kind of scary...
There shouldn't have to be different equipment for 2 entire tiers just because of 1 broken tank, all it needs is for the KV-2 to be taken out of the tech tree, the 152 removed and then the T-150 put in its place. It's not a hard fix and if it gets rid of people who teach bad habits to new players then the game is going to benefit a lot
You know, to begin with the 152 is literally the main gun of a real life kv2, and if you remove it it's kinda like tearing away your own leg and trying to walk so removing it it's quite a dumb argument, and putting the t-150 in........ we all know why it was removed to begin with, it's basically a tier 6 kv4 that can't even be penned..... noobs would just STORM it and same would be for seal clubbers, if the kv2 gets removed from the tech tree then I don't think it's a good idea to put in the 150 there
T-150 never had godlike armor, it’s good but not exploitable. It could replace KV-2 and get armor nerfs, just part of the playerbase would wanna stick with the KV-2.
The announced Foch 155 Nerf is absolutely stupid. They will not target the problem once again. The problem is the dpm of the autoloader. They just have to nerf the clip reload. Why do they have to do retarded stuff like nerfing the alpha and actually buffing the rof?! Another nerf that doesnt nerf anything but just makes things weird
The kv2 has been around for a long long while. Players learn to deal with it. Imo, yes the kv2 is like the 183, it can take huge amounts of hp from tanks with one shot. But the kv2 is vastly popular among the player base, taking out the kv2 could lead to consequences that are negative for wg. The kv2 does teach players to not poke and conserve hp. And after awhile players learn that once a kv2 fires, it's free damage. If players cant learn to deal with a kv after a couple hundred mid tier battles(such as baiting shots, cod, or just outspotting them) they deserve to get derped when they sit idly in front of it. RNG shots do happen, but they happen literally with every tank. Take chinese mediums who have awful on the move bloom, they can still snap shot and hit targets across the map here and there, same as kv, and 183 and every other tank.
I don't understand why people have no problem with su 100y. It has too good mobility for it's size, and a decent accurate gun that can hit reliably; unlike kv2. Not to mention russian troll armour.
Not to mention its AP+ shells do hella modular damage 👀
@distant river because kv2 is actually balanced.ik there is thing that this tank need some luck to work and do wonder,but the fact that the only good thing about this tank is the alpha damage and that it,nothing else. tbh for me kv2 is the last thing I will be worry about it. because it just not good tank at all,not to mention how horrible is it in term of aiming. you got the point that this tank is do to much damage. but it only can do that to light and some medium tank. if it was for all tank.then sure it should be nerf.but with new nerf and equipment,I not worry about enemy kv2 anymore.as long as I play like real light or medium,I should be fine and manage to kill the kv2 with out problems.also I dont really see to many kv2 in battle. I mostly see the new buffed vk and kv1s or vk28 or su100
but!if I want be honest. they should nerf the damage on he shell.it way to much specially in tier 5 is way to broken.other then that.it balanced tank,although I dont think it be possible to really balance a derpy tank
Because hitting battle in the KV-2 then parking in the corner near spawn, one shotting lower or same tier tanks, typing EZ or JAJAJAJA over global, all while wiping Cheeto crumbs off of your favorite Minecraft t-shirt is hard.
Same
@sweet prism do you think the size alone works in it's favor? The bloody thing can't hide, has awful gun depression, and is FLAT.
It has 7 degrees of depression which is not really that bad
I'm curious about what the alpha damage nerf for the Foch 155 would entail. Would it just keep the 155mm gun and just have 560 alpha like the Kpz-70 and T49? Or would it be receiving a 120mm gun with 400 average damage per shot? Either seems interesting to me, but the 120mm option seems the most interesting. Seeing a TD with a 3 or 4 shot 120mm auto-loader would be very cool indeed.
For me it is sad that people dont get that when u play derp tanks players become more situationaly aware as they know they are playing high risk high reward tank and kv 2 in my eyes is the best example as having about 22 seconds can easily get u rushed and killed but no people are bad/dump/braindead and drive their tanks carelessly in the opend where kv 2 can get nice shots and how is camping in corner a problem as u can outspot the best refrigerator unit. (C mon people gun has bad accuracy and muzzle velocity and its a miracle when u hit something at longer range)
@unique scaffold literally what i said and i got "i dont trust a word u r saying"
Kv2 players fun comes from ruining others games in one shot
^^^ hmm same applies to noobs in their TDs and mt25 sniping at the back of the map. No one is stupid enough to snipe in a kv2, thing couldn't hit something 200m away unless WG hates the guy ur aiming at😂🤣
The KPz probably won't get ATGMs, at least its Shilelaghs, which is slightly disheartening for a fan of the actual tank in WG Rd where the thing is the most fun to field due to its dual type of shot dynamic, considering if they add the Shilelaghs to the KPz, that would mean adding the AT-8 Sagger to the T-62A, meaning that you have an already good tank get a nice advantage over literally almost every tier X med, unless ofc Weegee decides to add the M60 Starship (slightly better 152 on it than the T49's and can launched ATGMs), plus I think ATGMs should have a hefty price per use
@tulip imp I see KV-2's sniping in most matches where a KV-2 is present. Generally speaking the KV-2 appeals the the worst type of players. Players who don't want to put any thought into how they play. They just want to mash the fire button and do damage. No thought, no tactics, just dErP. As I've said before, I can see why players like the KV-2. I cannot see how any objective thinker can defend it or think it is good for the overall health of the game.
I see where you're coming from, but I don't think the KV-2 deserves another HE nerf other players think it needs, but rather a dispersion nerf. In the frontline, the kv2 requires much more skill than simply using two fingers to aim and shoot.
I don't think it should still be on the tech tree.
And no it really doesn't. There is a reason you see players who have thousands of battles in the KV-2...and it isn't because of the "skill" that it takes to play it.
@pine junco you need to watch your language here.
Low tier tanks are supposed to be easy to understand ofc you don't need that much skill 🤦
There is easy to understand and then there is directions that phonetically spell it out with pictures. The KV-2 is the second of those.
Playing a Easy 8 well takes a understanding of the game. Playing the KV-2 well takes sitting still and hoping RNGesus lands your shot.
Nearly every russian gun below T7 is luck-based, so where is the problem?
And yeah, you can still fully aim and go frontline to make sure that big shell hits..
Kv 2 used to be a fun sidetank to get befour 5.5 and it is funny to see that there are individuals who dont want it in the game and thoes same individuals pribably just go out in the open and get close to the thing (like kv2 weaknesses are range and hard cover learn to use them)
The other Russian guns don't even come close to the 152mm on KV-2 for being RNG dependent. You may like the tank but I don't see how anyone can defend its existence in the game. It is there because it appeals to a certain type of player. This is one of those instances where WG went with making a certain subsect of player happy over the health of the game. They have said just as much when asked why the T-150 was removed in 5.5 instead of the KV-2. The KV-2 teaches bad habits to those who play it and those who play against it. A tank that can one shot a same tier tank creates a stagnant gameplay environment and honestly has no place in a game called Blitz.
⏫ The reason why arty on PC didn't prevent camping, but enforced it
Health of the game lmao. Newbies are rushing thru the the lines to get their tier X tanks as fast as possible, tanks like Smasher are being sold and we're discussing the same topic again and again.
WG shouldn't have given the Jagdtiger 8,8 the 10.5 cm gun - big mistake. Took away the character of the tank as well as making its name silly.
All the Jagdtiger 8,8 needed was an extra 3 rounds per minute on the 8,8 cm gun. That would have made its DPM on AP almost as high as the Tier 9 Jagdtiger's! Even shooting prammo (to make up for the weak 203 mm AP pen) its DPM would still have been higher than the AT 15's on AP! That would have been awesome!
Then WG should have given the 10.5 cm gun only to the Snowstorm Jagdtiger, thereby making it different and special from the Jagdtiger 8,8.
That would have been OP, though
Yeah, it'd be so much fun to fire 203mm pen AP shots in such a slow tank. Maybe, just maybe if the standart ammo was the APCR, and it had a higher pen pramo, but the 8.8 is very much useless no matter the DPM
@unique scaffold sorry bout that, didn't know, anyway, I think tbh that the KV-2 is literally just sit still and don't worry about anything by hiding in a bush is what turned it off for me, I decided I wanted the IS and not the big bad box with a 152 is cause the IS offers more dynamic gameplay than any of the KV-2's line until the IS-4 which from your complacency, you're forced to actually do something other than wait in a corner, the other 152 tanks, such as the ISU-152, SU-152, T49 and KPz feel better to use since you have to get up and do something, the ISU and SU are TDs so it's understandable for the sit still and snipe gameplay, the KPz feels at home as support tank since you have slow reload butt compensate for the really, really comfortable turret armor, the T49 is that tank that lives on motion, and is the most dynamic to play, since its a light, you have to keep moving or your dead, the KV-2 is just a big turnoff to me since half the ppl that play it get their enjoyment from blapping unsuspecting ppl that come out into the open
@round sundial : What? The Jagdtiger 8,8 isn't slow! It's almost twice as fast as the AT 15! 38 kph compared to 20 kph!
So because there are some other aspects of the game that could be better we should ignore and not discuss others. That's like a doctor saying you have a broken arm so we aren't going to fix your hangnail.
Except the AT-15 is incredibly slow, so the jagdtiger 88 is slow
Yeah, like that ever matters. It has very bad p/w, it's slower than a Ferdinand. That does make it a slow tank @fiery turtle E: Another slow tank doesn't make the Jgtiger fast. Fast means not only top speed, but also it's acceleration and with a TD, traverse is also very important. Jgtiger has neither the accel nor the traverse of a fast tank @drowsy plaza E2: Caern ? That tank sticks to it's top speed like a glue when going forward. And it's quite nimble overall, it's just the top speed. And I never mentioned it's a fast or anything
T28 says you don’t know what slow is, because while it’s got the same top speed as the AT15 it has worse traverse. The JT 8.8 goes 38kph the T28 and AT15 go 20...
The JT8.8 is faster than the Caernarvon...
Buff idea for Fv 215B 183:
turrent cheeks buff from 76mm to 120mm
Front upper plate buff from 127mm to 140mm
basically making it bad Jg Pz E100, with mediocre hulldown ability.
No changes to lower plate or turrent top weakspots
Well if KV2 is toxic for the game then T49 should also be considered in the same category
Well it does take 80% of HP of same tier while getting some perks of mobility camo and better gun than KV2
Why is no one talking about how the Grille is finally getting a buff?
@indigo knot one can one shot, one cannot. There’s a difference
KV-2 and T49 aren't even remotely the same.
Please tell me the same tier tank that the T49 can one shot. I'll wait.
I would argue the su152 is in the same category as the kv2. It doesn’t need the 152mm and the game doesn’t need one shots
I welcome the Grille buff, would be more interested in by how much it is getting buffed.
@karmic steeple the SU-152 is meant for the 152mm, its literly in the name, it would mean replacing the SU-122-44 as the one on the tree and the 152 as a premium, which nobody would want considering that the 122-44 even with all the nerfs has a nerve wracking 2.9k DPM, higher then the 152's 2.5k DPM at the expense of lower HE Damage but more powerful normal shot pen
No balance changes this update?!
T-62A, Leopard 1 and some tier I to IV vehicles
@nocturne mauve T62 got more gun depression, Leo 1 got more dpm, many lower tier tanks got better stuff
UWU kv2
remove kv 2 please
the skorp it's huge, this is why
@dull stone Skorpion has a turret, and more alpha, which are pretty huge differences
the accuracy of the gun is superior too. i have both tanks and i definetely prefer the skorp over the wz , i would say the skorp in the hands of a good player can do some really crazy stuff , the wz is more of a noob proof tank
@dull stone You don’t understand what the turret is for then. The turret gives the Skorpion all kinds of flexibility that the WZ doesn’t have. You can peek bushes much quicker, you can fire on the move, you can play hulldown, you can circle other TDs, you can angle the hull down over one side to get gun depression, etc..
And the alpha difference is huge. Firstly, the DPM difference is pretty marginal. And the alpha difference means that the Skorpion only has to expose once every 9.7s as opposed to 7.27s on the WZ. This is important because camo will reset for the Skorpion basically the moment it’s ready to fire whereas it doesn’t on the WZ. Also, higher alpha means that the Skorpion will punish careless peeks far harder than the wz.
In Blitz, when it comes to sniping, the alpha on the Skorpion is just more important than the camo on the WZ. The Skorpion can peek after its camo has reset, snap off the shot before the enemy can notice, and duck back far faster than the WZ
Yes
@dull stone look at the wz. This thing is as low to the ground like an E25
Gosh i hope the standard B nerf isn't going to have 400 dispersion...
60 km/h Grille day 4
Will Skorpion be available in auction
Funny how su 101 is forgettable to many players but its really good just needs a dpm buff or maybe some armor
Is really good and needs a buff? That means it's not that good
The Maus is really good, it just needs an armor buff -_-
Compared to a Jpanther II its worse in the gun department but better in the mobile department yet that doesn't end up mattering when ur getting out gunned and even overshadowed by the ISU 152. Give su 101 10mm more of armor and 10 sec reload with all consumables being in place instead of its current 10.9 sec reload maxed and you have a nice fast assault tank that can roll with the mediums
AMX AC 48 could use a bit of a buff as well
VK 72 01 K need armor sides buff and obj 263 buff hit points
This chat is so dead because of the 10 minutes slowmode
@main tulip yeah tho I agree that the amx AC 48 needs a buff probably to the dpm cuz the reload takes a while compared to other Tier 8 TDS
Nerf black prince frontal armor? I know its a tier 7 heavy but the mt25 cant even pen it from the front, not even with apcr, not even anywhere on the front
SU 101 is pretty horrific honestly. Rear mounted gun with terrible gun arc and gun depression is a recipe for disaster. Tack on worst in class DPM, lackluster gun handling/accuracy, and a low HP pool, and you have the worst TD at tier 8
a tier 6 light tank is not supposed to pen a tier 7 heavy from the front, lol
Edit as a response: Btw, just because you managed to ace a tank a few times doesn't mean it's good. If I managed to ace a VK 72.01 K 5 times a day and did well in it, does that mean it's a really good tank?
@orchid grove then how do I find myself being very good in it to the point of having 3 masteries in it two in one day and one in the next playing it aggressively as a medium support
I do like to face SU 101 since it is easy to destroy...
@frigid basin .....then get through the sides or back, omg... A light tank with a tiny gun can't pen one of the hardest armored heavy tank one tier up, mind blown.. smh..
@mortal granite Good personal performance != Good tank. I have the most damage per battle of all tier 8 meds in the T-34-2. That doesn't make it good though.
Also my WR in T28 and T28 PROT are over 60% with really good average damage. Does that mean those tanks are OP? :00
@orchid grove I mean I won't deny that su 101 needs some fixes here and there that would improve the tank. tho WG cheated with the gun depression as it slightly clips through the tank and with the armor not being historically accurate which I don't mind that they did that.
So im wondering why crew skills are affecting the reload between shells (fire 1 shell and loading 2nd) on the p44 pantera when the reloading function would be handled by mechanisms inside the turret... and NOT the crew?
@hot snow The crew is actually the ones loading shells into the magazine; the autoloading mechanism is responsible for slamming the shells into the breech. So the 3.0s interclip isn't affected by the crew mastery level, but the 3.1/3.55/6.65s reloads are
The tortoise needs a buff for the front armor is so horrible and it is very stressful to use
@jolly pagoda it's quite trollish, from what I've seen by facing it. But yeah, it could use more buff.
The tank is more like a joke that your teammates think you are useless that how I feel all the the time starting to use the tank and just got it a couple weeks ago
@frigid basin
Black prince is a “Heavy Tank” it’s not supposed to be penned up front by a light tank, the fact that an MT-25 can’t pen it is normal, because it’s a tier 6 light. I think the Black prince is great and needs to stay the same.
AMX AC 48 needs either a buff on this:
Cupola armor reinforcements
Or a 9.5-9.8 second reload
T62A needs a small Reload nerf, tbh.
Standard B and Progretto need fixing as well.
This chat only needs a 5 minute Slow-mode or less 10 minute just kills it.
where oes it say the grill is getting a buff? @turbid smelt
they are planning to give it, not confirmed yet, in #devs-answers @west summit
Hey, i think leopard is overpowered
Which one
Tier 5 of course, would you expect one of the hardest tier 10 vehicles to use in the game to be overpowered? I think not
121b become useless after wz121 buff and have the lowest WR of all teir x meds
WG: Ok let us buff t62a and Leo !!!
@unique scaffold Um 121B is getting buffed
They have one of the worst winrate I Guess....I don’t agree with T62A buff but leo I’m fine
@thick rover
It will not be buffed this patch may be in future ... but wz 121 buffed 2 time in 2 updates!!!! then they buffed stb1!!
also who asked for leo and t62a buff?!
so 140 is going to get ATGM? or APHE or APFSDS? @coarse harness my reaction time is longer than dat
Lol
The leo buff is just -0.2 sec reload
Not that game changing and well deserved imo
@coarse harness
but why ..it is already balanced ...not o.2 sec ..the new reload time 5.5 or 5.6
STB1 is still better than T62A change my mind. Also, with the buffs to the tanks, Foch, T62A, STB1, and some tanks being broken by default like T22, at this point it may be more realistic to simply buff the others to the level of the current tanks.. It's a bad way but it seems to be the way WG is going unfortunately
Profit is more important than balance. Tbh it would be easy job to balance tier x but they dont do it, why? Because balance doesnt make money 😇
I finaly agree with some guys here: WG is pay to win. I made another account to see what I could do and got myself the KpfPz 70 the moment store unlocked. I wreak havoc on anybody and everybody
confirmation bias?
@shut ruin only because you have less than 5k matches so you get players with a little amount of battles. Otherwose you wouldn't have done that well
@unique scaffold you're a wizard then and tell me your secret
@unique scaffold Leo1 had one of the lowest stats past 5 to 6 updates and buff given to it wasn't any major buff....and T62a also had one of the lowest stats both WR and Avg Dmg.....so that buff was also deserved
It needed a small buff but not 7° of depression, especially seeing at the 140 wasn't changed at all
i mean the 140 is like almost halfway on the mediums, and the 62a is dead last, and the 140 still has the better mobility and better angled hull so its not entirely bad with the 62a buff
140 only has 5kmph better top speed but worse acceleration so that cancels itself out, and the 140s much worse turret balances it's better hull armour. The only real difference before was the depression that favoured the 140 and made up for it not being able to hold hull down positions as well but that's changed now 🤷♀️
Buff STA 1. It's gun is okay but the armour and speed makes it a very bad tank overall, would better if it had a armour or mobility buff to STA 1 in addition to the Chi To and the Chi Ri.
3 powercreeped tanks overall.
Shouldn't it be more like Type 61, ie a very good gun but pretty much trash everything else?
colorblind assist will be nice in this game for those of us visually challenged
Isn’t about balance but good idea!
@coarse dawn maybe leave that in #646323804326461440
Store back up yet ?
who here also thinks from the following tanks needed to get buff:
-caernavon stock gun pen buff and reload
-AMX 13 75 acceleration and on the move aim buff
Stock tanks aren’t meant to compete effectively against their tier, and the AMX 13 75 is good
Excelsior, V tier, needs balance
As a tank for gold, it has a fatal cannon
A heavy tank with a pipe, not a cannon
Give him some power
Can we appreciate the fact that Vk90P is a better candidate for the tier 10 place of the Vk45 line and Vk72 is just a sad excuse for a heavy tank?
@tidal inlet @dreamy dirge wrong channel, but fyi
I just had a game where E-100 VK 720 ... and Grill 15 were shooting HE on my E5 turret and each time dealing 400-450 damage. Is that fair?
@candid steeple yeah why not?
That's the half of its max damage and they are shooting at the front of my turret. KV-2 doesn't splash tier VI with 400 damage every time and they have a lot less armor. Its weird.
KV-2 splashes more if you can aim well...
E5 only really has strong front armor, the turret roof is quite weak and takes a lot of damage from HE (this applies to pretty much all tanks btw, not just E5)
What about rhm borsig it’s armor is so weak
rhm is turreted TD. Charioteer has weak armor too. Only turreted td in tier VIII with good armor is T28 Proto but it's speed eh. But about E5. They did 400 damage to me with every HE hit that was not in barrel in front of the turret from 50m away or more. that's not turrets roof top hits. I was hull down. No chance of hitting it.
E5 sides are also quite weak, and you can splash into the side/turret roof even without direct hits because of how HE works
Slightly Buff the T-25 Turret traverse speed.
It takes forever for the turret to make a full rotation and I always have to turn the entire tank body to face the direction of the enemy rather than waiting for the turret, even at a 60 degrees angle. Medium tanks shouldn’t have super slow turret traverse speed, it makes the tank very underwhelming.
E5 is pretty easy to splash when hulldown, 300-350 splash (allowing for the normal over-exaggeration that everyone does) isn't something odd @candid steeple
Please for the love of god nerf the Tiger II. I just lost a game because a 320mm apcr shell wouldn’t go through it’s lower plate. It’s the absolute dumbest thing to effectively remove the traditional weak spot of a tank for absolutely no reason
git gud , simple as that
All this bouncing off the Tiger 2's lower plate thing reminds me of people bouncing HEAT off the side of Vk100 and complaining lol.
60 km/g Grille day 5
@lunar niche Except the VK100 has spaced armor on its side
@quasi tiger That was the point.
With 320mm APCR, you can pen the entire front of Tiger 2. Besides the LFP is smaller and a bit stronger than the UFP.
@lunar niche “A bit” It is 160mm thick. For comparison, the E-100 which it leads up to has a LFP thickness of 150mm. It has better armor on its “weakness” than a darn super heavy
would you prefer if WG swapped the thickness of the LFP and the UFP so it now has a proper "weakspot"? It's literally better that the tiger 2's UFP is it's weakspot, that just makes it a whole lot easier to shoot and pen
@quasi tiger So, its 160mm and is stronger than E100's LFP. Why did you shoot there?
The UFP is much bigger target with the same thickness but less effective armour. Shoot there.
Not much different than people shooting HEAT on Vk100's spaced armor.
Dont forget you can always drive 10ft to the left or right and just pen it in its side
People are justifying that a Tiger 2 should have more frontal armor than its higher tier counterparts, smh
nobody said that
Please think on a server dedicated to 50% Wr accts, and above, and anything 49‰ And lower gets An alternative server... Just a thought, or just start charging the 40%ers and below, that will sort this out, and WG's stock price
Nerf smasher’s armor?
give tutorials for newbies, so they can learn and they have to complete :D
We need much better balance in match making. Too many battles are landslides with teams winning 7-0 or 6-1. As I understand it, this is because the current match making algorithm doesn’t take into account anything about the players skill. The algorithm only looks at the tiers and types of tanks and attempts for make a match so the teams have similar numbers of tank tiers and types. The algorithm is completely player agnostic, so it’s completely a random event whether or not the teams are balanced or unbalanced in terms of player win rates, damage per battle, etc,
So due to the completely random distribution of players, one team could have an average win rate of 55% with 5 players over 50% and 2 over 60% and the other team can have an average win rate of only 45% with no player over 50%. I’ve seen many battles just like this and the outcome is decided before the battle begins.
Why not add a second stage to the match making algorithm. The first stage would apply the current algorithm to find 14 players such that there are balanced numbers of tanks from each tier and type. Then the second stage of the algorithm would simply divide up the players into teams attempting to keep the average win rates for each team as close as possible. A software program could do this second stage in milliseconds because it’s not searching for more players. It’s just dividing them up into balanced teams as best as possible while still keeping balanced in tank tiers and types for each team.
Of course you probably wouldn’t want to use win rates alone since a player’s win rate doesn’t tell the whole story about their skill level. It would be better to use a composite score that takes into account win rate, average tier played, and damage per battle.
Man 7-0 and 6-1 matches happen sometimes. If you watched the recent twister cup even in the championship match I’m pretty sure the two teams went back and forth a couple games sweeping each other. It just happens sometimes and it’s a part of the game nothing you can really do to fix it
Oh yes, unnecessary nerfs on some vehicles like the FV215b and the Progetto, even the stats show Progetto is falling behind WZ-121, no reason to see it nerf, Instead of Nerfing the FV215b the 2nd time, why don't you just nerf the consumables instead
The Progetto nerf was needed, but the FV215B nerf could’ve been done differently
@twin egret Because removing the consumables means less money income for Wargaming. It's easier to nerf the tanks
@cunning pasture A very stupid idea, it'd mean that eventually, everyone would be 50% wr more or less. What about 75% wr players?? Do u give them all the 40%ers vs all the 50%ers so the wr is balanced? Ha ha ha
I’m looking for that buff to my baby Grille❤️
well, i've spent the last $ I will on this fouled up game. There are Heavies that can out traverse lights. SPs that can out accelerate lights, and have higher effective armor than. I'm deleting the game from my computer and will never return
The louder you announce that you are quitting the more likely you will comeback.
buff jpanther front armor because the angle of the armor doesnt even work in most of the angle of the tank. the front armor is so thin that we can cut it with razor come on wg u can do this.
60 km/h Grille day 6
@tribal lodge it’s not supposed to have great armor, but decent mobility and good enough armor to not get HE’d. It makes it more effective, but not to the point where it’ll easily bounce shots, think of it as a medium. Also it prevents the 152mm guns from penetrating it with HE, which is really helpful
@nimble zodiac and what does the slope even do
Ask the 2nd word war german engineers
The slope increases the effective armour thickness
@tribal lodge Same thing as side scraping
@tribal lodge This is how sloped armor works
Sloped, not spaced. Although spaced works the same way, but that's not the idea behind it
Um wym
Any armor uses trig
So u can have 155mm of armor while being as heavy as only 100mm
Not much effect here but reduces load limit irl
Well for the angled armor to be angled it has to take more material to cover the horizontal distance it is angled to. See in the diagram how much longer the 50 degrees slope is compared to no slope
remove the kv2 from the game or make it a tier 7 tank or atleast don't make it a tier 6 tank. it one shots all t5s sometimes t6s tanks if it doesnt almost all the enemy hp is gone. Also do something about the smasher
What about Smasher tho
T8
They could nerf it 🤔🤔
nono don't nerf it i think it will be pointless. Remove it or buff it and make a tier higher or 2.
Replace it with t150, the tank fits in the line
armor value = armorvalue/cos(theta-normalization)
agree
Guys why Its still dont working i used 200 golds
Yeah, I agree. Bring back the T-150, make the KV-2 a special subset of premium that is still purchasable for credits after the KV-3 is researches, and make the Smasher a T8. That, or give it +2/-1 MM
Leopard 1 and PTA: have some of the worst win rates for their tier for 55%ers
WG: I’m going to pretend I didn’t see that.
@unique scaffold the entire adventure event is currently down for Eu and RU. Idk look at announcements @unique scaffold
@wet quail and why
@dense yoke the KV can be OP in the hands of a very good player, but I rarely see KV2’s lead teams in damage. Most of the time after a KV2 shoots once or twice, it gets focus fired and killed fairly early in battles. The KV2 definitely has a derp gun with really high alpha for tier 6, but I think it’s balanced by the super long reload, low DPM, poor pen, slow speed and mobility, and pretty crappy armor for a heavy. Now the Smasher is a different story entirely. Now that tank is completely OP for tier 7. It has a derp gun, plus really high DPM for its tier and it has pretty good speed for such a large heavy. War Gaming always balances heavies and mediums that have high alpha by giving them lower than average DPM compared to tanks with lower alpha guns that typically have higher DPM. The only exception to this is many of the TD’s that have high alpha and high DPM. But the Smasher not is not balanced like other heavies. It has super high alpha and really high DPM which makes is the most OP tank in the game relative to its tier.
(KV-2) the DPM is actually good, a good 1800 I believe with just AP, combine it with HE and you get an uh oh
doesnt kv2 have the highest dpm(one of the) in the t6 soviet tech tree?
Mainly because KV-1S has a long reload for 400 damage, but the penetration makes it fine
The KV2 also has a stupid long aim time which you need for ap
KV2 should stay in tier 6
Can i know why i in adveture have only snowflake.?
I bought back the KV-1S cuz I got the legendary camo and that is everything but not fine
Also got the KV-2 camo ffs
Ugh trig makes my brain hurt
I wish 121b got an alpha buff instead :/
Bruh, leo (tier 5) is overpowered
In what way
Only way I see the Leo being op is because of the pen
Leo is fun, bursting stuff for 300 every 10(?) seconds
Thoughts on VK 30.01 H?
I think vk9001 can still buff
Would be cool if I had it :/
If they’re nerfing the alpha on the Foch, why not nerf the FV183’s alpha too? Maybe buff the reload on the tank so it can still have similar DPM. Previously it seemed that they wouldn’t nerf alpha because each caliber had a specific alpha to it, so the Fv alpha wouldn’t be changed, but now they surely can change it right?
183 is in its rightful place
Quick question, Is the Dracula still a great tank in tier 7?
yes
@meager spruce The 183 is not in its rightful place until its removed from the game
Yes
@mellow cape oof. You are right. And we need to make sure 4005 can never variant No2
@mellow cape might as remove all tanks from the game then
@midnight fable the 183 with the alpha and pen it has won’t ever be balanced for a 7 v 7 Blitz sized map.
That's right. It's not balanced. Every other tier 10 is better than it.
It gets wrecked too easily.
What about the KV2? That 1-shoots 5,6, and some 7 tier tanks. 183 doesn't 1-shoot any tier 9 or 10
183 getting wrecked too easily? Isn't that a good thing? Let's keep it that way or just remove it from the game.
I'd prefer to make it so it doesn't even show up on the charts anymore
Why does the Foch 155 retain 545 alpha on Heat shells.....it should be around 460 or 480 alpha .......
As per 6.7 open test
The 183 fills a niche for people who like big alpha damage guns. The price they have to pay for that damage is the fact that the platform is garbage. Where else do we see this? The KV-2, SU-152, etc. The price you have to pay for high damage output is either a poor platform, poor accuracy, or often times both.
The 183 is exactly where it needs to be. Nerfing it more would mean you might as well remove it from the game. Buffing it in any way would make it stand out above its peers. It's a bad idea to change anything on the 183 at the moment until some sort of major balancing patch comes for tier 10.
Yup. You have games where you do 5k and games where you do 0k just like every other tier 10.
Edit: except it's slightly underpowered, but I don't mind that because of the alpha
again you want a competetive tank? play something that doesnt have the ability to possibly take 2/3 of a tank hp in a single shot you dont get to have that and be ok in everything else
Why are they buffing the Foch’s autoloader Rate of Fire. They should’ve just nerf the alpha and be done with it
why is the foch’s HE going down so much? Every other 150-155mm gun does 960 alpha, even the kv2’s. 680 is far too low for a 155, just decrease the pen and change it to 700-800
because you cant do anything against a foch as a medium tank trying to circle = HE to side
60 km/g Grille day 7
@unique scaffold pinned messages, matchmaking isn’t discussed here... most of the time...
@twilit crystal i mean if you would of read my mesage, you would of see me say that i think the pen should be nerfed also but you clearly didnt :/
@unique scaffold watch your language here
@true relic The KPZ, T92E1 and Sheridan don’t agree with your comment. They wish they could though.
thankfully not, i do think the kpf does need a HE alpha buff to the sheridans 680 instead of 640 but regular 960 dmg HE is kinda broken and should really be nerfed to like 800
Japanese quality of life update when?
100p buff when?
It got nerfed for a reason, all you can do is sidescrape in it on one side and outtrade all VIII heavies.
I could use some help so if a DEV is on pls contact me
Use support ticket
the vk100p was never reallly great, now that tier 7 meds pen it from the front is just flat out stupid. people literally complained they couldnt pen a vk100p from the front in their tier 7 meds when u cant pen a is3 from the front either
The armor buffs in 6.7 open test are unnecessary. The only tanks that deserved it is the Chinese IS-2 and the AT-8. 165mm of side armor behind the tracks of the Jadgpanther, jesus. The AT-7 is fine, the AT-8 isn’t
AT7??
6.7 armor changes
Panther I: Buffed frontal hull and turret
Tiger I: Buffed frontal full
JPanther: Buffed frontal armor, overbuffed armor behind the tracks
E 75: Updated armor model
IS: Buffed upper plate and turret front
IS-2 (1945): Buffed turret front
KV-3: Buffed upper plate and gun mantlet
T-22 Med: Updated armor model
T25 AT: Buffed frontal armor
T29: Buffed frontal hull armor
IS-2: Buffed upper glacis and turret face
Black Prince: Thicker upper hull flat plate
AT 8: Buffed MG port and thicker cupola
AT 7: Buffed cupola
Ho-Ri: Updated armor model
can WG explain why the panther 1 now gets better armor than the panther 2 ?
Lol, jpanther 165mm behind tracks
And they touch the t22 Med ?
T22 armour model update?...uffff
Silent nerf? Like they made chieftain turret trash?
Tho what did they change in T22?
On Blitzhangar it looks like they just changed the armor shape, so the angles might be different. Not sure if that’s a buff or a nerf though
Blitz I have a problem that my game wouldn't let me use the Adventure and wouldn't give me clementines could you pls game me clementines it's really hard to get to the snow globe
im happy that ats are getting a buff, would be amazing if tortoise and at15 would too
So they buffed/going to buff all the T7 heavies...
...exept AMX M4 45
Which is already worse than the Tiger
Makes sense
Jpanther buff its crazy, 165 mm side armor 😳
Yeee.... m4 45 kinda needing either some armor or speed to go with the low armor it actually has, you know at least 40 kmh but noooooo not even that
that side armor is probably just a bug, no way its getting that
No, I think it's 165mm armor behind the tracks
Which is why I think that it’s a bug in the code
Why is Panther 1 now objectively better than Panther 2 ? Excuse me wtf? Also some of the buffs are ridiculous, what is WG even thinking ? Tiger 1 165mm front ? What are T7 meds gonna do ? At best they can go cry in a corner! T29 ? Yeah SURE, give the best hulldown tank at T7 a good hull armour to go with it. Big smart time.
TDs armour buffs ? 200mm eff frontally is a lot, again, what are meds gonna do ? They can't pen them frontally anymore unless they spend a lot of time aiming for weakspots, even with pramo. Not even speaking about the obviously bugged showing of JP side 165mm. Standart B nerf ? Not even close to enough..
WG, can we do something about people below 45% platooning? It makes it nearly impossible for that team to win. I just had a 38% and 39% platooning together in my game. Of course we lose because of them. It’s becoming a huge problem
Buff is7
Why for Foch 155 BOTH guns are getting the alpha nerf, i understand the autoloader guns, but why the stock gun, its fine how it is. Just nerf the autoloader gun
Yes WG very big brain you have, it’s already broken
^^^^^^ that’s a joke WG come on now
There are worse things in the patch, the TD buffs which make their front 200mm plus on JP and T25 AT seem very excessive. And Panther 1 is gonna be the most broken
whatt ?? Wg is planning to buff the Black Prince ? ha ha ha ha ha ! You know what WG , go ahead buff the Black Prince loooool
The panther kinda needed some sort of armor buff but this is a bit too extreme
The tiger kinda makes sense because the vk36 has more armor than it.
The American tanks really don’t need buffs ( especially t29 )
Panther didn't need anything, it was already a very good T7 medium tank. One of the best actually, cuz with all the armour buffs, T7 meds have been powercreeped HARD, and it didn't affect panther too much @latent snow
After T5 and T6 it's time to make broken heavies at T7 too🙌
I don't have a clue what's the reason behind these buffs
At least they are buffing tech tree tanks 😅 , im fine with that
Prem tanks aren't that popular
Tech tree tanks can break the game more easily
the panther 1 is now better than the panther 2 in every single aspect besides side armor and alpha damage
So how do you get the veteran role?
25k+ battles with 50%
T20 needs a buff though and so does the Pershing
And if u already have 25k 50+?
#general-blitz-discussion pinned messenges and go to the bottom for the veteran role
ahh, thx
60 km/h Grille day 8
if you want to buff panther then 1 buff Panther 2. Do we need a Blackprince buff? i think not. T29 is fine, its a Good tank, no need to buffed. Mabye buff the speed of the tank.
Also i think pershing needs a armor buff. Its too weak... or is it just me?
How many
With all the (much needed bufs coming next update in t7) I would also want to sudjest A vindicaror Pen Buff For it's prem Heat 225 to t50 and it's HE 80 to 88. Almost Forgot Gun depression from 2 to 6
BP buff 😳
So about the changes.. Grille 15 not noticeable
FV215B - I don't think it deserved it, it's very good but not that good imo
121B - Don't have problem with it
Foch 155 - I think they could have scaled the cupolas back to what they were, like it's a big problem for meds to even pen, and eventhough the alpha is lower, the DPM stays the same so I think it should get nerfed further by the cupolas nerf.
Standart B - Not even close to enough, what is the point in Leopard PT righ now???
Progetto 65 - It did probably need a slight nerf, it's just nuts right now, but this may be a bit too much
T29 - WTF ? The best hulldown tank in the tier and it gets a very good hull to go with it ? Needs to stay where its now..
T25 AT - This TD may be meh, but giving it eff 200mm frontally, 250 when using gun depression ? Way too much
IS - Can't load the model, but it looks like 160mm on the UFP. Not a place anyone aims at anyways, I don't think it'll change too much.
KV3 - Massive buff, the mantlet is no longer pennable, so the tank is now super menacing in hulldown
Panther - WTF ???? Already one of the best meds now gets 180mm wdd ufp armour, as much as KV3. One of the worst buffs this patch
Tiger 1 - Also, crazy. No med can now pen it with AP, what can they do when tiger rushes them ? Needs to stay where it is.
JP - I assume the side armour is a bug in blitzhangar, but the front may not be., And it's just. Just like T25AT, way too much.
BP ? No comment. I mean it won't change too much, but still no even close to needed.
AT tanks - Probably needed it, but will it change much ? Probably not
IS-2 chinese - the only tank which did really need the buff outta all those tanks. What is it, like 10% of their buffs are on point ? Nice stats wg..
where did they announce the upcoming buffs and nerfs
open test
Reading the list of buffs and nerfs, I must say that tier seven makes me want to... do things that will result in a lot of cleaning. It has something to do with my stomach
IS tanks also got turret armor buffs but they needed them because they still have a nice big cupola to pen so its fair
Since they will buff the IS too it'll be still better in every single way than the IS-2
I don't believe so, IS-2 will have actual strong upper plate, IS will still have the flat spot in the middle @coarse harness . Overal it may be, with better speed and gun, but the armour will be better for chinese is-2
I cant log in the map
I prefer gun stats and mobility over armor but it's just me
A fast tank with an crazy gun is quite the chaos to deal with, it’s why helsing and drac are so good, their guns and mobility are a great combination
^ same w keni otsu too just pure gun and ok mobility
What was the changes to the T-22? Looks like almost nothing changed (6.7 blitz hangar leaks)
@round sundial agree about t29 -_-
they buffing the t22 -_-
It’s just a very slight smaller armor profile, if anything it’s a very small buff, insignificant
@twilit crystal really
Dracs gun good? That’s a new meme
drac is a meme its a fun tank due to the speed but ever since all the heavy tank buffs to traverse its never been OP, it quite literally has the worst tier 7 medium tank gun, and the armor is paper albiet its tough to HE but its also a big tank. All it has pure speed
Dracula is 7th best WR on the server for the last 90 days. It’s OP
Lol worst tier 7 medium tank gun many would argue the best
If its op, then ur saying every other tank from 6 and up are also op. Every single one of them. @soft spindle
@karmic steeple how all it has is alpha LOL. worst gun handling, mediocre pen and mediocre dpm
they need to make credit earning at tier 10 actually a thing
Drac has speed and troll spaced armor cosmetics- plus the ridiculous track healing.
A good player in comet or T43 can give a drac player a run for his money.... generally dracs in platoons are OP.....Drac platoons or Type62 and drac platoons they are difficult to deal with when driven by seasoned players
Though I have not played game since its inception but like everyone says that Drac along with Helsing was godly when it first came.....I guess they both have been powercreept heavily
i CLOWN dracs in my Super Pershing, stop playing WEENIE TANKS with no armor and pick up a CHAD TANK and HUG THEM so they cant hit you and become a ALPHA MALE like ME
Really I just picked up the drac and I think it’s gun is great, either I’m high or you people are just horrible at aiming.
Fix the damage mechanics.
@unique scaffold I also destroy tier 7s with a tier 8
@regal grove I don’t think you got what I meant about WR. The entire player base. Including noobies can keep the wr for this tank over 60. 7th best including tanks that have not been released yet, but 2nd best for tanks that anyone can buy.
Any other ALPHA MALES using the Super Pershing? SUPER PERSHING GANG REPRESENT YO
Stop comparing tier 7s to tier 8s
buff the 140 62a completley outclasses it now
personally, I agree with that but the 140 has a greater slope on its frontal armour and better mobility. I think only the gun needs a buff.
The 140 barely has better frontal armor. It's not reliably in the slightest, it just gets some troll bounces sometimes. The mobility is almost negligible; you can only really tell the difference when it comes to straight line dashes to certain spots. The 140 is truly outclassed now and I don't see why.
If WG were to return its pre-nerf turret armor and maybe just buff the gun handling, it would be much more competitive than it is now and it would pretty much equal the 62A in strength (ie gun depression sacrificed for speed and hull armor).
Wg, gix ghost shells omg
I love the novelty of it all, but can we agree that ammo racks are a little too broken for Blitz? I mean in the PC and Console versions, it's not that big of a proportion of the team but in Blitz, it just changes the entire game. At least, full health ammo racks in the first half of a match are just so frustrating and stupid imo.
Fix the broken damage mechanics
Report stuff like that in #585464006936887306, and they're already trying to fix it anyways, be patient
The Hangar desk will be the desk of dava developpers ?
Balance out the 140 and the T62A again, I got the 140 for the extra gun depression and I have less turret armor and less gun depression now wtf this is stupid
The 140 is still a good tank, higher top speed, better hull armour and best in class standard round pen. It's still better at brawling than a 62a
Yes, Obj 140 hull is significantly better than 62a, not slightly and its also easier to generate bounces from it. The sides are also much harder to hit with HE from TDs and other high pen HE (except high pen HESH) as it forms a curved shape and can even generate some troll bounces.
Where the hell can i speak with a mod or something like this
this even is unbalance and makes no sense i be grind fir few days now and i think wargaming should make the cases reset everyday but they don't seem to listen to anyone anymore and looking for money all the time.
Buff 183
yes
look wg p43 just kill my is5 with 500 ram i did to him only 300 is5 heavy right?
Ramming damage depends on the weight, speed and position of both tanks. Not their category @graceful copper
P43 mustve been going hella fast tho
Looking at the 6.5 vehicle performance stats, I'd say the American autoloader is in need of a serious buff
Nerf foch interclip reload not the alpha! So ridiculos to see big gun td with that 560 standard round alpha and 680 HE alpha
Buff Pz V/IV 's depression, its like 2° not 8°
Its 8° over the sides iirc
10
Dont nerf Foch 155's single shot damage plz, nerf its dpm, its interclip reload time
HI DEVS
Every 3 battles
2 of them are steamrolls
Is 3 defender buff???
Any clue how much the drac may go for if it’s in the auction?
25k gold like last year,it was sold out after a few hours
Why are you taking away the base health of the fv215b? Nerf the provisions you added. The community isnt dumb, we know you just want to make more money off us, so you make us spend credits for health boosts, then take away the base health. How blatantly tacky of you WG.
Damn that’s a lot of gold @wicked sluice
the drac is not worth more than 10k gold lol people. Its been power nerfed for years. Look at the 6.7 open test with panther 1 armor buff or tiger 1 armor buff or other heavies armor buffs, the drac can't pen any of those from the front
@twilit crystal Yes,u said its the price of last year,can be different this year. Back then the drac was op af
but its Highly demanded, literally everyone wants it in the acution because everyone thinks its super OP like the t54mod1, its a decent tank but its by no means OP. When it first came out heavy tanks had much worse traverse at tier 7, the didnt have the 10% mobility provision and they also had horrible gun handling so you couldnt even hit a drac. Against mediums the drac generally has worse dpm or armor or both so its not that hard to outplay one. Now heavies get much better gun handling, they also got armor buffs and massively better traverse which makes it impossible for many meds to COD heavies, the Drac still can but it can't just rush from the front anymore and has to come from a different angle
So it needs a buff then
Now that wg decided to buff IS turret cheek armour, can we talk about a little armour buff of turret cheek and upper plate of IS2SH
can you increase the probability of higher amount of snowflakes
Yeah, if you go to Canada
Can anyone explain how the new armour update on T22 will affect it....Is it buff or nerf in general???
It's a tiny remodeling that will probably change nothing from what I can tell
60 km/h Grille day 9
@wicked sluice @storm hatch drac was sold for 20k to start out
Edit: if you don’t believe me, wait till it comes out.
@soft spindleNo,i remmber exactly it was 25k along with the tier Xs. Maybe u think of the offer with 121b or something like this. Research it and you will find out that the price was 25k of gold
Pershing buff?
Perhaps a little reload buff for Tankenstein would be nice for the smash having... better reload? idk but the damage per shots are too different for it to be good
Hmm, the Churchill III 's rotation very very slow
I'd rather take traverse buff and maybe pen buff on Tankenstein because 198 pen in T8 is hardly enough with the lowest DPM as well
Y5 elc bis needs a mobility buff otherwise it's just a worse bulldog.
That may be because about every med tank in T7 is a worse bulldog. How do you match a tank that goes faster than Drac, while having actual DPM with it and light tank camo ?
Simple, you play a T49
Tiger armour buff? I feel like I get penned to easily in this box tank.
Well seems like Leo1 became OP for players more than 62a
Leopard 1 is no shape in regards OP
PC buff for Leo 1.
Change the ammunition type for the T49, APCR and HE as standard, and HEAT as prammo, it doesn't make sense why HE should even be prammo, and HEAT should be 250mm so it would be easier to pen more armoured tanks
Then I would like T49 to have 20+ sec reload
250 Heat would be broken imo
BUFF ST-I Traverse, it's so slow
No, ST-I is fine, I'd say its stronger tier for tier than IS-4
traverse slow, e75 or lowe even is mobility than ST-I
Its a heavy tank, ofc its slow
Traverse is adequate for the tank; any more it’ll be even more broken @visual lance
Why ask for a buff to a OP heavy?
we have enough t49 spam at tier 8 no th
I don't think it's OP maybe slightly better I guess
Its not OP but nowadays literally every other scrub runs the t49 coz fast+derp is literally their combo. Its why new players go for the batchat and leo 1 and also go for the kv2. So give them both in one and they happy. Except its super expensive to run so its not every scrub
WG also gave away free premium so that’s enough to make it less expensive or to easily get back any lost credits
@wraith lance SU-152's stock gun has 250mm HEAT
No turret
@round frost the T49 has awesome mobility. You can’t give it a gun that can Derp heavy tanks frontally with ease.
I forgot that this was derp guns, almost said type 62
inb4 someone says sheridan, 560 alpha at tier X is good but its not derp tier,
60 km/h Grille day 10
Buff E75 armor
70km/h maus day 1
Kv 2 needs to do 200-300 dmg
Already does 70% of the time
Not really unless you use the 107mm. Most of the time it does 400+ dmg @indigo meadow
T28 proto please give it an engine buff or top speed buff
Thoughts of nerfing the Leopard, anyone else sharing this thought?
I think the leopard has a high pick rate which certainly indicates it’s a very strong tank for its tier.
The thing is just fun to play, it’s not necessarily good.
The tank is kinda like a t49, it CAN do a lot on damage but it is limited due to its low pen. Also the tank is a HE piñata, at least from my experience.
@coarse harness Well at least it has better pen than helsing, gravediger, black prince, it's actually good, in the penetration perspective
The helsing has 220, the gravedigger 230 and the BP has 239 gold pen
198 is the max pen on the tankenstein (using rammer ofc) with the only useful gun @nimble zodiac
Yeah atleast buff the armor behind the tracks for the vk168 so it’s not worse than the vk100.1p
or worse than the jpanther 😛
99% of T5 meds are severely underpowered. Their guns suck, and they can't deal with the heavy tanks of the tier at all, I'm not even speaking about T6, which sometimes even have 2x the DPM and 2x the HP
Leopard pt a buff
I agree, the gap between tier V and VI is kinda rough
Leapord is op against paper armoured vehicles with that machine gun
Exactly why it's only for the paper armor
i 100% agree that leo is op
I have to say that, I can’t hold on anymore. What are the fxxk wg thinking about? They think they put noobs and pro together and everything will be fine? I’m really sure that the worst match making I’ve seen in my short life. Why me(pro)(75wr at30 days) need to carry those noobs? I fight to help team, a normal team. Everyone knows what’s they need to do. Not a team with brainless and who even doesn’t know how to shoot and drive well. No one is happy with the match making at moment. So why wg doesn’t change it? Ah they said: we are lazy, if u don’t like, go play rank. Of course. No difference in rank. High win rate doesn’t mean he’s pro, but low win rate I’m really sure that he’s noob. Pls
a Wg, make new match making.
Noob doesn’t happy if they fight with pro. Pro doesn’t improve them skill fighting with noob.
Best way is noob fight each other, pro too.
How to difference pro and noob? We can get idea of blitz star, make wotb official’s wn8. Or something like wn8.
Higher than 3k, pro2k -3k normal lower than 2k noob.
Normal players could fight with pro and noob, pro could fight with pro and normals , noob could fight with noobs and normals.
Match making is the most important part of the game. I hope wg can do it well. Stop think about how to take more our money, just thinking about how to make better. Players will pay for it.
Thanks everyone. Hope the Wg can read it all.
@tough talon If everyone is pro, then noone is pro
Wouldn’t a unicum WN8 be pro?
So I said, make a difference with wn8. Each person is different, No one is some.
Someone is better so why we put everyone in the same match making?
Im happy if I fight with 70 wr. Im 65, we are close no much difference into 65 and 70. But 70 and 50? There is a lot of difference. 70wr feels so easy and 50 wr feels so difficult. Now, this case is often to happen. This is a reason why we need to change it, to make it better
May 70 and 50 is so much different. But im really sure that 50wr can't win against with 60wr. Usually
So basically you want it to be 60% vs 60%. And this has been said every time. If this were to happen, EVERYONE would be 50% as they would be facing their skill level and there’s just no point. Suck it up
play tourneys
And u know the eu serve’s tournament has been closed for 2 weeks? I want to know how many times I need to wait for tournament back?
It won't be everyone 50% cause into the pros there is person more pro and not really pro. But there isn't so many difference. U can improve u skills while fighting with person who is more pro than u. Winrate will be just a number. Who cares? It seems like rank at moment but more specifically.
The point James is making is that the metric you are using to judge people is directly related to winrate. So if you are matched against a bunch of ppl of the same wr you’re wr is going to tank and regress to 50% Bc you don’t have a bunch of noobs to beat up on. So you’ll end up with the same problem in MM
Noobs are a part of every game
Of course every game has noobs. But it doesn't mean noob needs fight with pro. New players fight with new players, pro fight with pro. Isn't something logic? Join the game, find out opponent has raid, eg, loca or 7 star mercy something else and u team has 3 guys without clan. Everyone despair at this moment.
Think about it, think hard. U want to fight with pro, with a good team, try hard to win. Or a battle of 7-0 or 0-7.
If u can choose, which one u will pick up
That’s just lopsided MM not anything to do with pros and noobs fighting in different matches
You do realize you can already set I fight so you only fight people with the same wr right? Its really easy to do just make a tr
Everyone knows match making isn't fair. It won't be fair, never. But I hope, at least we can make it better.
Now, noobs did nothing into battle. Just looking pro dominate the game. Maybe block some dmg for pro to help he survives. I use my teammate blocks some dmg for me cause I know he do anything also I see how does he play. So I know
I never think that I'm pro. I can't improve my skill against noobs. I win easy, doesn't mean I'm happy with it.
Actually u guys don't want to fight against pro ha? Aren't u?
Rank isn't fair too. Do u guys think rank is somewhere with good match making? No way, I was 5200 points, I saw 3 guys with 3k in my team. And I promise, diamond is easy to get just if u want to. Gold rank is same like random maybe worse.
Nope never said that. I’m happy to play against pros. But if you want to improve your skills you definitely should not be relying on public matches with random match making
I'd hate mm that isn't as random as it is since it has some regulations
first all, wg need to fix bugs and ghost shell, something else. Every updated appear new bugs. Fix bugs, more bugs. This is wg doing. They haven't time to think about what player want.
Another steam(shu t up and take my money)
Literally none of this is tank balance 😂
@tough talon this channel isn't about matchmaking. Read the pinned messages
Kp needs speed and reload buff
Mery crhistmas
What about increasing the pin on the Excelsior 96 With calibrated shell Going up against Kv1 bdr t14 Churchill's It's Useless And going up against khir 6 heavies is just suicide
Lago is good?
Can we get separate options to change sensitivity settings in sniper mode and no sniper mode on mobile? Idk if this is the right channel to give suggestions but I couldn’t find any other.
umm... i think vk 45 02 a,b need to buff...
Hmm... I enjoy a lot playing the A but it could use a buff like in PC where it had the upper front plate thickened to 150mm
tiger 2 buffed, its too bad... and B also worse than E 75
B is a better side scraper thanks to rear mounted turret, smaller lower plate and has better frontal armor but weaker sides
Better sidescrapper? Not a chance with the extremely weak sides
Isn’t the point of sidescraping making those weak sides stronger? The tank is long, and with the rear mounted turret a less aggressive angle is achievable compared to other heavies
What tier are the new tanks ? Still tier 8 or are the is the fury and the amx 30 b both tier 8 or 9
@nimble zodiac no... its worse than E 75 sidescraping
When did I ever claim the contrary? 😉
i think 8~10 tiers of German Vk 72 01 line need all buff...
I mean both the E75 and the VK B can pull a nice sidescrape, B caps out at around 240 (with a very small weakspot) and E75 goes further, but both suffer through their turret, mainly the cupola. If either sidescrape to their right then they’d both be very good
i think Vk b is not good sidescrape, because in both angle. E 75 is 360mm armor but Vk B is just 310. you can see in armor inspector apps. Therefore, Thought Vk B is long and back turret, but its strong point sidescrape is worse than E 75.
310 is overdoing it in tier 9 anyways, other than that they might as well shoot the turret front, or the cupola if they can
Will the lorraine 40t possibly get the alternative gun with the 3 clip and higher alpha per shot in the future?
310 gets meme penned by any CS heat tho
yup. 310 penned by any Heat. thats point. E 75 is 360 so, cant pen side. but Vk B's strongpoint, sidescrape is penned by Heat.
Always thought prammo would get pulled into this, then if you can meme pen the side on 310, then both of their turrets are a weakspot anyways. Ok, so if they use HEAT then VK can still do a good sidecrape regardless of the weakspot above the tracks, since HEAT dies when trying to go through tracks, a longer scale to sidescrape with is a better angle availability
Except the side is so much larger and easier to hit?
Who thought it was a good idea to sell the Fury for 30k gold?
lol the e75 turrets and vk turrets will easily block most heat shells if aimed directly the odds of hitting the gun or the cheeks are pretty decent, I guess maybe some tier X td pen with CS might be able to pen the cheek if it isn't directly at you but the turret overall is nto a super easy auto pen
Ain’t it like 270 effective tho?
@jovial patio not a balance issue.
Nerf the PZ.II
How do you suggest do that
Leopard 1 doesn’t need more DPM... the buff it needs is one of 3:
A) added speed
B) 420 alpha
C) added turret traverse
Interesting thought, but could also add:
D) increased module damage on each shell
bro i think leo is pretty good by itself
That’s overkill ngl
420 alpha bruh wtf?
After playing with the leopard buff as of now I managed to get 5 more aces within the span of 2 days it’s honestly way more useful now you can take dual fuel and still have 5.8 reload your dpm now makes you unbeatable in brawls and a permatracker for heavies and TDs if anything the leopard needs it’s more penetration
Yo just keep in mind Leo 1 is one of the hardest vehicles to learn so stop ranting get out there and git gud
^
Lol
Buff WZ 113 G FT
Just give it more pen and it will be fine
I've been playing VK 45.02 B in awhile, its really a good tank for sidescraping, as long as you not over-angle them over 15+ degrees (or even 30 degrees i guess)
Because HEAT rounds is always been an issue for this tank.. i had to go micro, than macro (sidescrape mostly defeats some AP/APCR rounds, but not HEAT imo)
VK B is awful, it's just an objectively worse e75. The side armour is a joke, it's a worse sidescraper, it's less mobile, it has less gun depression, it sucks at chasing tanks round corners, etc.
I reckon it needs side armour of 130mm, make it a much better sidescraper than the e75. When they've just introduced the VK 90 with 140mm of side armour with a better angle on it, a great gun, a better turret, and amazing gun depression over the sides I don't see why we can't have 130mm on the VK B a tier down since it has none of those other advantages.
Buff Obj. 140
A) bigger gun depression
B) more damage per shot (for ex. 320)
C) better mobility (for ex. max speed increased to 60km/h)
D) lower dispension ( from 0.336 to 0.310)
Share your opinion in comments.
Thanks
Where is none of the above
@atomic hound That's why VK 45.02 B should be earning the title "The Poor Man's VK 90.01 P"
VK 72.01 K line needs a buff i guess, at least for the tier IX-X to make them look better in front of other HT's..
Or maybe not, because its fine as it is?
Since the t62a buff , the 140 might get some love from wg(im pretty sure they will buff it) and as someone stated before a mobility buff would be cool and leave the gun dep as it is rn
@little quarry vk72 would be easily the worst tier X if the joke that is the 183 didn't exist. It definitely needs an armour buff.
buff jpanther II armor it is too thin for tier 8 or just buff all armor for a tank with panther body. i got pen easily by enemy even with a sharp angle.
I think Ferdinand needs more assistance in that regard, because at least JP has significantly better mobility
Buff kp reload and speed
@autumn zodiac the mobility doesnt even help. you will be instantly pen it is like playing a carbord tank. esp the bottom of the tank is super thin and the percentage to get fire is 70% trust me and the side armor is Superb thin u cant even hide yourself. please wargaming check all of your tank armor. jpanther II is mid heavy but dont have armor like other mid heavy tank.
...
#givekpfATGM :3
Why are people thinking of buffing 140 now that the T-62A got buffed? It needs no buff
Idk- maybe Obj. 140 fans kinda annoyed over T-62A buffs, with that -7 depression
@tribal lodge Ferdinand is supposed to be the armored one, the JPan II makes up so much with a workable superstructure, great speed, high damages per shot, but a faster reload than the 152mm helps prevent a trade and allows a one way fire. Try to hide your hull as much as possible, and it’ll get quite annoying to get penetrated.
62 got 7
Some ppl wud still prefer 140 coz of the speed
On the Leopard 1 I wanted it to get an acceleration buff because this can be very very useful for its play style than 0.2 less reload
@nimble zodiac nope you will still died even with a good weapon
@noble siren you do know with the dpm buff you can now take both fuels and still have higher dpm then before
It has better effective p/w ration than the BC🤷🏻♂️
And it has an actual good gun as well
Who in theplatoon is herea blitz on the Rassian server
@dark eagle is that a thing you need to discuss here
The Leopard is already fine. The Batchat is also already fine (if not very slightly underpowered). The Leopard is basically the Batchat without the clip and light tank camo but added DPM, pen, and gun handling (it's also much bigger in size). Both are balanced and both can be highly effective tanks when used correctly.
Balanced teams would be nice
I would love to see the BC 25 T with the same dmg as a usual 105 mm gun... Like 350 dmg
That would be terrifying
^
In my humble opinion, I would love for certain tanks to be removed from the game such as the gravedigger which only hinders the fact that its front armor is completely unpenetrable, I wish it was removed! thanks for your attention and have a nice day
Front armor is completely impennable? Far from it @half mortar
@mellow cape wait one second pls i gonna translate
Lower plate is easy to pen in same tier tanks
tbh i have bounced ridiculous amounts of dmg when i played gravedigga
If you are saying Gravedigger is impennable frontal armor isnt true, lower plate still easy to pen despite of having small gap between upper plate (other weakness also shown in certain spot at turret face)
If you are not doing that or just lazy, go for sides and back instead, how hard is it?
R҉E҉A҉P҉E҉R҉#2474 has been warned.
With gravedigger you either have a really good battle or you just straight up suck and do >500 dmg. Its a weird tank to play but I wouldn't say it is impennable nor OP.
Do you always get a discount on tier 10 legendary camo’s?
Dont know if this is the right chat
@lone holly always? No. Sometimes, yes. Worth 1.5k gold for a sticker ? No imo
Ok
@tribal lodge ok then, don’t be straight up aggressive in the JPan II, it’s a good sniper after all
can you make tiger ii a bit faster ? because its really hard to play other stock mediums block more(it can be my angling promblem too)
but there is always a is3 in all matches
and they all pen easily with 400-600 dmg
i go with 23kmh,do 200-250 dmg and its like it dont have any armor at sides or back
a little speed buff would make it more playable
Thanks for reading,sorry for bad english
I dont think you’re playing it right if an is3 is easily penning you
Can WG make the cupola of the AMX 30 B a tad bit smaller, it makes almost any hull down useless because of it
@ornate crag then there will be no punishment for the excellent armor you have
60 km/h Grille day 11
@ornate crag the 30B has great mobility and a great turret. If you're wiggling and popping in and out of cover it shouldn't be an issue for you.
If u want bc with 105 350 damage then play the pro get to. And regarding the progetto nerf I don’t think it’s necessary. Progetto is a mediocre medium with poor dpm and average speed. The only reason why it’s got high winrate is because it’s new and most players driving it are unicums.
"poor dpm" is a lol tier claim when its an autoreloader, For medium term engagements its fine if you have the clip reloaded, only in super long drawn out continious engaments is it poor
“Progetto is a mediocre medium” oh really if it’s so mediocre why is it outperforming every single medium @unique scaffold
Please buff is6 front armor. It’s too weak for a heavy. Angling doesn’t help either cause even mediums can pen it while angling. It makes the is6 the worst tier 8 premium heavy. Please buff it wargaming
Buff Heavy tank Horse Power, its easy to get killed when the tank climb with 4-9 km/h, but doesn't had enough turret elevation with weak track
When would heavies go up hills really... unless it’s like early game Rockfield, or just... places heavies shouldn’t often have to go to anyways
You could just play it like a heavy tank is supposed to ::/://///
@nimble zodiac spotting on castilla
That doesn’t really cause you to be an easy kill, heck if they have meds I doubt many heavies try to suispot that hill
Bc also need a buff tbh
Buff Panther II, more powerful engine, stronger front armor, higher dpm
Not sure about Panther II buffs, i'm fine with the current one as now
How about buffing DB-Leopard line below? Like PT A or Indien-Pz.
Personally, Indien Pz doesn’t need a buff; it’s already got solid mobility, solid gun and troll armor (hull and turret)
@shy wren Accel is kinda underpowered, that should be buffed a little bit imo
Everything you said above is good, and ik that
Yo guys am I the only one feeling like the t57 heavy needs a little more top speed? Maybe some acceleration instead :p
Buff the FOCH 155
Make love, not war
Give buff, not nerf
Foch 155 is too strong for his tier, 640alpha in around 7 sec delay.
Cupola his weakspot isn't a real weakspot, make it bigger oder less armor.
Tiger II has God like armor for his tier, even in tier 9. It need a drawback with his mobility to compensate for this.
Mediums are strong, even the Panther II, it's just a complex playstyle which doesn't fit to 80% the player. Give it the sniper role, with good accuracy.
Amx 30b is completely balanced.
I rather Nerf the STB 1, it doesn't have any drawback, it is fast, agile, okish gun,
Armor, dpm
.
E50M, Nerf the turret armor from 250 to 240 or 235 to give the enemy meds a chance.
WZ 121 has dpm, armor, Big gun, mobility and everything you need, Nerf the gun depression to give him a drawback. Form his - 5° to -3.5°
Nerf the T62A with the dpm or change the depression back, it's too op imo. (and I have this tank myself)
Su 122 54 givs me some headache too..
@nimble zodiac im using that tank for sniping OK
@nimble zodiac even when im sniping i will be dead bcs there is no suitable place for the cardboard tank (jpanther 2) because the hull is super useless. u still need to show your front armor to shoot enemy tank
I lost 6 snowflakes! WTF
Not here...make ticket or something
@empty wharf TIger ll is far from being a God in tier 8 even or tier 9 the bigger guns can easily pen it without problem, it is God only against the mediums from tier 8 and nothing more. The problem can be solved but making the lower plate weak and the upper plate strong
Tiger II "balanced"
Warning logged for Fany333#0916. They were not warned.
Lol why?
Tiger 2 is not op, it can be penned frontally by same tier heavies. I’ve faced the thing in my is3 and I had no trouble penning the tigers frontal plate ( I was face hugging )
@noble chasm imagine being penned by a t34-1 in your tiger 2 frontally, that would be sad. It’s a heavy tank it supposed to have armor!
@latent snow what about stock tier 8 or tier 7 generally
himbra you have no idea what you’re talking about and it shows 😆
pls can u re-rework the HE shells coz i keep on getting ghost shells after the update
edit: as in 75%+ of my shots are ghost shells
no no no, i mean just Horse Power, not speed, its need 3 s to get 8km/h, make it 2,5s
@lean bough oh no, you can't say that, because according to WG speaks person there are no ghostshells....
But btw I have the same problem since the update and not only with HE shells. Just yesterday I had 3 ghostshells in a row and one was on less than 30m distance when fully aimed. But yeah I guess I was just imagening that... 😅
Yeah you were, I am not having any ghost shells since they said they fixed it @exotic sparrow Am i special or hwat?
@round sundial I guess you are, be glad, bc you have no idea how annoying it is to waste 2 or 3 shots to finish one tank, bc of this issue...
And I'm sure I can send you some replay, I just have to get home, bc it is literally every single day, sometimes less sometimes more. But it is just sad that you can't be sure if your shot hits when fully aim, because if this issue...
@round sundial here you go, a ghostshell, right from this discord channel or is it not a ghostshell? https://photos.app.goo.gl/KzaaCNgc4jihTUdb8
How can I say just from a single screenshot?
@exotic sparrow This is a ghost shell for example, one which lost me the battle.
This issue seems to be fixed for me in the past few days.
its a vid
@round sundial it's a video.... 😂 👀
Not a Screenshot 😆
@unique scaffold mhmm seems interesting to hear it from a 55% player but OK.
It's my opinion that the tiger is too strong. I know if you load the gold it's a easy penetration.
But it needs to be balanced lower and upper tier and it isn't very well.
Bruh
Wr means nothing, you can’t change your teams lmao
And no, the tiger was weak before the update. The tiger is ok rn
@exotic sparrow It wouldn't play in discord, so I assumed it was a screenshot. And yeah, that is a ghost shot, but only one, not 3 in a row like you said
@empty wharf
Honestly the tiger 2 is ridiculous, because you can say what you want but this is the only tank atm that has armor that cannot be panned by prem-ammo by many heavy tanks or medium tanks of the same tier. And I'm not even mentioning lower tiers..
So tell me how can you justify something like that.
Even super heavies like Maus or tier 8 VK have a weak spots on the lower plate....
I am sorry, I mean it is too strong, if you aim on his upper plate you need ruffly 230mm to 245 mm penetration.... And it's too much... Lower plate is too strong aswell...
It should be tuned down from his state
@unique scaffold
Don't be a little child and say "you don't know it.. " and it's not allways the teams
Why they buff the t62a again, like what’s even the point of playing the obj140 now
Should wg improve the current mm? I mean 2 scouts on each team is fine until 2 on one side is upper tier
@fiery flame Higher speed, more effective AP pen, better hull, better accuracy on the move
I see all these as valid reasons to play the 140 still
@mellow cape I do agree with you on that but I think those advantages are very minor, like it has 240mm of AP pen versus the 245mm of APCR however even with better AP normalisation they are pretty much identical in the vast majority of circumstances, or the top speed of the 140 is 55 versus the 50 of the t62a but due to better terrain resistance stats the t62a accelerates faster
140 was known for the better gd since ever so give it identical gd with T-62, turrets weak af anyways
60km/h Grille day 12
@tribal lodge half of sniping is staying hidden... There are so many tanks that are easy to pen and they snipe too
The turret on the obj 140 kinda sucks, I can lob fat HE shells from my e 100 on its forehead and get 300-400 damage
Ferdinand is useless compared to other Heavily Armoured TDs at it's tier. It's armour is crap.....
@wind flower Pretty much all 4 of the 'heavily armored' tier 8 TDs are mediocre at best and downright bad in most cases
Ferdinand - pretty much no armor against pramo, and its very slow. Worse effective armor than Jpanther II which is much faster and carries the same gun.
T28 - way too slow and way too little armor for its speed, also sides can be penned with HE quite easily.
T28 prot - same problem as T28, way too slow and way too little armor for its speed, but the gun is great. I'd say both of them are worse than ferdinand but this is at least better than T28 because it has a turret.
AT 15 - hated the T28? Lower alpha to 190, and add an easy to hit hatch so that anyone can pen you. The gun is ok at best if you can keep firing it but otherwise not that good and the pen (especially gold pen) is pathetic for a tier 8 TD. You could choose to use the 250 alpha gun but that drops the already bad pen even more.
First. What's the fourth one?
Ferdinand.
AT-15.
T28.
The other two except the Ferdinand have Armour to depend on. Ferdinand on the other hand is way down. It can be penetrated by anytime at its Tier except the very bad pen guns. @mellow cape
heavies can out accelerate lights what a joke
I liked the AT15 tho.....
I would go as far as to say that it is the best tank in 183 line
T28 proto is also an ok tank....
T28 and Ferdinand are the tanks that struggle .....
Ferdinand should be given back its 1400HP and T28 should receive the same buffs as E3(the lack of gun depression will balance it out unlike E3 now)
Heavies can out turn lights again in what real world?
The T28 is easily the worst tank in the game for its tier. There is not a single good quality of the t28. The armor, which is supposed to be it’s strength like it’s tier 9 counterpart, is easily pennable with AP. Terrible traverse, terrible speed, ok gun, no angle tho, and the side armor is HE-able.
I’d say the gun of the T28 Prot makes up for a lot of it’s bad qualities. That gun is just so good
So you guys fixed ghost shells huh?
Yep I had multiple today, they did not fix.
You should report it in #585464006936887306 not here, this is the channel for tank balance @quick tide
Make that weird hat on the Foch an actual weakspot
Please balance the 140 with the 62A I got the 140 for the maneuverability and the gun depression but now I have neither of those pluses, no armor (especially turret armor), gun handling, etc.
This game is almost fun. If only the team could learn to shoot.
@unique scaffold and if only there is no toxic player in match
Umm Ferdinand has 1400 hp @indigo knot
What is balance discussion?
Discussion about the balance of tanks. You can talk about tanks you think need a buff or nerf etc and give reasons or whatever
Did you just say T28 is bad? I beg your pardon but T28 defender is OP
1: Yes I did.
2: T28 defender is not OP, theres better tanks than it in the same tier cough cough WZ-120-1 FT
@exotic cradle He was speaking about the tech tree tanks, not the T28 Defender
:/
Ok
Makes sense
I think a good way should be balance the tanks like PC did.
T28 got a nice armor buff and it changed the look of it.
T95 got a buff for his top speed limit, from 16 to 20.
And then give the T28 Prot the same turret armor Form T28 defender.
The flat part from 203mm up to 215mm
The cheeks from 127mm up to 145mm
And buff the side armor from 50 to 55mm
Bc overmatch
t28 and t95 are already op, no reason to buff em more
@empty wharf t28 prot needs no buff, it is a great tank if used correctly
tiger 2 does not need a nerf
Tiger 2 needs a nerf. You don’t just simply “flank” it, it’s just sad when it’s lower front plate has more armor than the E75 or E100. Also the T28 is not OP, there’s a reason why it’s always doing so bad in the Graph statistics. It needs a HD remodel, an armor buff basically
@white wyvern are you bad or what? Why the hell will you aim at the lower plate if there is the upper which is easy to pen, or you are one of the 300 IQ players of this game?
@white wyvern bruh are you ok?
@unique scaffold it needs an hp buff to put it in line with the defender, then it'll be an okay tank.
@iron hearth t28 and t95 OP? Best joke I've heard this decade...
tiger 2 dont need a nerf its slow enough
@unique scaffold he is just playing with stock tank and he is upset, if the american T34 can pen the tiger with no problem then I can't see why every TD from tier 8 to 9 why it should not pen it.

DragonDooom#1234 has been warned.
People still defend the Tiger 2 lol
Hey does people playing wotb on PC battles with people play on mobile?
By default yes, there is an option so you only play with people on the same platform though @drowsy harness
DragonDooom#1234 was banned
@coarse harnesswhats wrong with tiger 2 ?
It’s broken lol
No its not
Exept the fact it has no weakness ?
Nothing wrong with it
Lmao
@broken root what game do you play?
Look at it from the front and what do you see?
@coarse harness preach
The sad thing is that this all started because people complained about the lowe. So the lowe got completely over buffed and outclassed the Tiger 2 entirely. So then people cried about the tiger 2 so it got completely over buffed and outclasses the lowe
If U are clever, U just shoot cupola or use prammo. Its slow, bad gun, bad sides. And its big. If i look in front i see a tank. In T34, it is ez pen, in type 61 ez pen, in sta 1 and is5 i just use HEAT and tiger dissappears. Sry for waiting for my response, i have 10 min timer between messages. @coarse harness @quick lichen
Type 61 is a tier 9 and has a tier x gun...
T34 has ridiculous pen...
Is5 heat is 270...
Sta heat is 275...
Try using a tier 7 against it
Or not using prammo
Then see how it goes
This is your sta “buttering it” with ap rounds
🤦🏼♂️
Sorry for wrong chat but why did he get banned?
@neon ibex why does it effect YOU?
It's faster than most heavies
Has only a tiny cupola as a frontal weakspot
If 100mm is weak side for you then you should try M6 EXP
You can overmatch it behind the tracks and spam HE on the upper side
And the gun nowhere near being bad lol @broken root
@quick lichen look at that cupola:
Full green. And Tiger II is also very slow, so you can flank it and shoot to the bottom.🤯
I’m looking at it. That’s if it stands still and let’s you shoot it. From there, you actually have to get decent accuracy to hit it
Faster? My is5 is faster, is3,6 are faster, t34 better acceleration, cupola is big, there is also a machinegun hatch, i dont have 7, or m6 exp, why not use prammo? @Isaac_HU @quick lichen
Tiger 2 isn’t a slow heavy and the lower plate is crazy strong for a tier 8 lol
Let’s do this instead. Germans are about angling right?
This is side scraping. Have fun
Lower plate of tiger2 needs nerf....and then it will be fine....
Let's have some real discussion.
What about the Mighty
TOG II*?
14 kmh top speed
^^^^^what Walter said
Let's make it clear
That's a big cupola 👇
@indigo knot I don't agree with that, because once you do that, it becomes a worse AMX m4 49 again. There must be another way, to make it unique but less op
i need 3 subs only lol
@empty wharf i have got TOG II*. It's slow, but it has 1540 hp and amazing DPM. I like it.
Tiger 2 doesn't need to be Unique, why is it that vehicles can't be similar?
@round sundial it will be fine then....and it will be in line with other HTs in its line in terms of playstyle especially E75...
@round sundial the AMX has paper sides and weak lower plate but a godlike turret with 10° gun depression better DPM pen and mobility
@quick lichen ok. Have a hard time with tigers. I am OK with fighting them. Sure, Tiger 2 is good. But no broken or OP, watch meadsy's top 5. Sayonara.
@modern rapids apparently your top 5 is a be all end all according to @broken root
I can’t have a hard time with a tank if I don’t play the game lol
@quick lichen i had this opinion even before meadsy's video. I told you to watch because there are broken tech tree tanks, which i agree with, except BP. If U dont play, how can U know if it is good? In my opinion it is good. But not OP or broken, its not 36.01, IS4, or Dracula.
I played when it got buffed. Not anymore. It’s obvious that they over buffed it but believe what you want. Doesn’t matter to me
I dont believe. I know. But whatever...
@quick lichen why U stop playing it just 'cause there's one ,,OP" tank? I play it and I'm OK with tanks like Ke-Ni Otsu, Dracula, Helsing and others. If U will play it with premium ammo, you will know something:
TIGER II IS NOT OP
@unique scaffold This is not a ghost shell, it is your ping problem. When you fired, the server side turret position didn't match your turret position, now it uses the server side position instead so you missed
i dont said ghots shell
@weary carbon because there’s zero incentive not because of the Tiger 2 😂
Thoughts on Ferdinand when compared to T28 and AT-15 @quick lichen
Jpanther 2 easily
@wind flower Ferdinand is AMAZING if you know how to play it
Ferd is nothing compared to the JPII, and the tiger 2 is definitely OP 🤦♀️
Pls explain because everyone can pen me when i m in Ferdinand @weary carbon @weary carbon
@wind flower you must angle with it
@distant river Tiger II is good, but when you know how to play againist it, its easy to kill it ;).
Just because one person can kill it in a 1v1 (not easily but hey) it doesn't mean it isn't OP 🤦♀️
please give the Foch its top weakspots back, its dumb op at any range
Can somebody say something about the realoadtimer from the VK 100.01 P, 14 SECONDS for 300 damage!! You literally can’t win against a Tier 7 tank and he is a Tier 8 TANK?!?
Can we do something about the pz2 at least boost the damage up to 50-55 because it went from good to worst tank in game
...
@dry heron how about you upgrade the tank....? Duh
Lol all low tiers were nerfed so all of them are “worst tanks in the game”
60 km/h Grille day 13
@regal grove then 15 seconds for 400 damage, wow... and it’s still bad
460*
^ big difference
People like u r funny “omg 2k damage in Mauschen u suck”
DUDE
ITS NOT MEANT FOR DISHING DAMAGE
When tournaments come back¿?
@oblique trench English only please
@valid mauve but please use #tourneys-discussion next time
Why did Foch even get a autoloader? The shit is broken
Have the highest wr and they are buffing it again by giving it faster reload 🤦♂️
@exotic sparrow should of just changed the alpha damage and made it slower no need for rof buff
@lost mesa stop crying please, it is not a buff, is it a nerf you moron.
Yeah they made it so it cant clip out tanks like the grille with HE.
That's not gonna change the fact the tank will still be over powered, as it has a front armor similar to E3 and and is just as fast as mediums... Where's the balance in that?
@lost mesa armor similar to E3, what are talking about?? Have you ever seen these 2 tanks...? You can pen foch fronatally with HEAT from tier X heavies, but you have hit a tiny cupola on E3 that is nowhere near "similar", but yeah tell more bullshit things like this... 😆
Can they fix shit like this, I couldn't pen the sides of Is7 3 times in row from 90° shot with my Wz121 I know it's a Russian bias but still it cost my carry of the game and Master class
buff t34 2 its so bad
T-34-2 is great but hard to play @chilly crane
Yes, its really good once you get the hang of it
It basically is peek a boom, you wait for someone to shoot or pull out around a corner when you are unspotted, use your superb aim time to quickly put in a shot and then go back into hiding
Actually Foch needs the nerf to armour....
They should have had kept the clip reload same after the alpha nerf but they didn't do that and Heat alpha is similar (545) no nerf was seen on the open test...Foch deserved more nerf
In pub games where less gold is fired you can yolo on a medium or some heavy and win the engagement unscathed
I'd say that the Foch needs its weakspots nerfed back to what they were previously. I'm entirely fine with it having a good frontal plate so long as it isn't braindead easy to play. Removing weakspots is just a bad idea and idk why WG thought it would help the game in any way to buff the Foch's weakspots.
I want the reload of the t67 to be normal again. It used to be like 3.6 seconds
@exotic sparrow a experienced player will load gold and pen the front armor, however don't forget that 95% are not 60%+ or even experienced and will struggle against it hence the reason it has such high win rate, it got speed, armor + the autoloader which can easily put a tier 10 heavy tank on low hp and even clip off some tier 9s and tier 10 tanks like grille. All of that with no trade off.
This is just like fv back when it when was new, anyone could hide behind a bush deal 4k game every game until it got nerfed..
And if you call this balanced then you are living under a rock or just doesn't want it nerfed because you're playing it every single game
They should just strip the 155mm autoloader from the Foch, and replace it with a 4 shell version of the 50 B gun, and also remove all the armor buffs they gave it too
@lost mesa
Look you don't understand what you are talking about. I'm not saying that foch isnt strong, I just don't think it is OP. And the last thing I wasn't saying that foch isnt strong, I was just saying that you are dumb as hell, because you are seeing the issue only black and white, plus you said he would get Buffed, but WG is taking the alpha away, exactly because of the reason that you are crying here about. So after the NERF (not BUFF), it will have some armor, bc nobody has problem loading prem these days (ofc you will find people who don't...), but it will not be able to clip any tanks anymore. So why are crying here????
If they can make the rangefinder easily pennable again I’ll have no problem with it
Whenever I see a Foch I just switch to prammo, Foch has a nice flat frontal plate that prammo can eat
Buff the Amx m4 45?
Hmm 90mm with higher alpha then 90mms yeah no only lekpz can have it
and t26e5
why everyone hates amx m4 45 buff so sad
it’s a Tiger 1 with a better gun and gun depression
Except it can't even sidescrape and is hella slow for such armor ._.
5yrs of blitz and people still complain cause they cant AIM
@exotic sparrow they are nerfing the alpha damage but at the same time, buffing the rof which brings the dpm back to about where it is right now. That isn't enough, it will still out perform almost every tds while being fast as a medium in terms of top speed and acceleration, and on top of that, it also has one of the best camo ratings out of all tier 10 tds.
You don't think the tank is OP? Then explain the jump in wr from update 6.1 where it was sitting at 58% similar to other tds, to update 6.2 where it all of sudden was sitting at almost 63% wr, above all of tanks in tier 10.
Did everyone suddenly get really good or what?
@exotic sparrow have some respect before cursing a person, not everyone is as 'good' as you. Actually no, you're not even good after i checked ur stats so you might aswell even shut up lol, are you actually saying that the foch is not OP? Man you are a living under a rock. Having amazing armor, gun, and speed, and an autoloader that can two shot a lot of tanks with HE, is extremely stupid. Have a bit of respect for others. <@&481447501690568709>
it's not necessarily a nerf to the gun when the alpha goes down but the DPM compensates
Buff grille
They are buffing camo on it next update
I hope grille camo after shooting is 40%
Thats scary
YG_Scafa [CZPRE]#9645 has been warned.
The pramo dmp is going to be op on the foch
Just nerf the armor on Fochs because it's broken it doesn't have weak spots and the lower plate is like 20/80 to hit
The armor is literally useless if your enemy fires gold...
Even when I angle they just pen me.
@proven ocean You are wrong.
@proven ocean You can angle the foch against meds in a way that they cant pen your front anywhere (except the rangefinder and hatch) even with gold
If you angle they will pen you behind the tracks
I played yesterday and more and more people shoot there
Let's see how the reworked gun perform first
For the millionth time. The foch's armour isn't the problem, that's actually farm from it. It's the burst damage that is. And that will change with the alpha rework, making the tank focused on dpm and not masive amounts of burst damage.
Im really just surprised how many people had never heard of the 2 key
WZ120 FT is also pennable by pramo, does it make it any less OP?
@tawny sail thank you, finally somebody who understand how the tank works...
@round sundial u forgot Tiger2 .....pennable by premium rounds
And Foch155 and Tiger2 ....they are OP...
Stats by WG prove that ....
@round sundial
That's a bit different... You have to have some perspective..
@tawny sail you could argue the other problem is that the single shot gun is just worse in almost every way and should never be used
@indigo knottiger 2 have bad single dmg and speed so if you nerf armor it would be impossible to get e100
Lol what?
xD
Error 404: logic not found
@unique scaffold I got my E100 before Tiger2 buff.... lol
did tiger 2 get a buff ?
tamplar11#4993 was muted
@unique scaffold I mean 300 average damage isn’t bad it’s sorta speedy for heavies
310*
@quick lichenisnt that upgraded gun
blitz should show how many one shot kills happen in a game
@proven ocean what does that have to do with tank balance?
when will at8 get buff ? its in 6.7 right ?
or i heard it wrong
it just needs less weakspots, and maybe a faster reload
Can we get a little buff for the type 64. IMop needs to be more players on the green team. Is it me we never have enough.
I'm honestly dying to know, I know this isn't about balance but, do people still have the old tier ones after update 5.5, seriously, I mean I can't access my old account that I think has them on there, so can I get a little bit of information on this topic, pls?
@copper vapor no, they were completely removed from the game, no one has them now
Oh ok, thank you for the information, now I'm not gonna go crazy
My suggestion is nerf foch 155 magazine reload to about 30 second without changing the alpha, small alpha is ridiculos for such a big gun TANK DESTROYER, this one isnt a light tank, also nerf the cupola, that is it. Thanks WG !
This is satire right?
Rip foch
@near warren such a hilariously True statement on one of the most important part of the game. Me I’d rather die than miss my hit rate would be higher if it wasn’t for the occasional bouts of ghost shots and rng which I consider to be just part of the mechanics of the the game any way
Lets give Foch 60sek reload to make sure its balanced
Rip Foch then
KV-2 is fine as it is
@mellow capei saw some people have ms-1
They can’t have it in their garage anymore
The only weak spot I know is the Foch's lower glacis and thats when I'm too stingy for gold rounds (on my e100, 271 AP pen SHOULD be enough). For some reason, I just can't pen the View Finder on thing lmao
I recommend instead of posting constant nerfs here, put some buffs in. Such as improving the tiger 1 armour.
Tiger 2 sort of makes up for that doesn’t it? @night grail
So it should have more armour @minor olive It’s a tier 8 tank you numpty.
Every time I try to side scrape, heavily angle my tiger 1 tank, it always seems the enemies penetrate, I would slightly buff that plate where the radio operator sits. It’s a big weak point, 100mm won’t cut it at tier 7. Don’t bother to buff lower plate/engine area as it will make it too strong. Rest is ok at best.
Honestly, I don’t know if it really can be buffed. At tier 7 most if not all people switch to use all ammo types. The way I see it is higher pen ammo will pretty much nullify any benefit
@night grail u know that it is getting buffed next update right? do your research before writing paragraphs
The 30 b could use a gun handling buff, it’s already amazing and I love it but the gun is a little problem for it.
@night grail It's almost as if the tiger is a heavium that had good speed and a great gun to make up for it's armour...
If it’s a heavium then it fails at being as a heavy to be able to reliably bounce shots, and trades, as a medium it fails as it lacks speed it can’t go with the mediums. @distant river
So it just fails at both aspects
So 15hp/t and 44km/h isn't fast enough for you? Stop expecting it to be a heavy or a medium, it's a mix of both, and it does well at both but not the best in class
@distant river That is top speed. It doesn’t run with the medium tanks, that is top speed, the highest it can get. Medium tanks are way higher than this. It is not fast
do crew exp booster decrease the time it takes for tank mastery?
It's not as fast as a med but it has a much much better gun to make up for it, and if you angle right it will get more bounce. That is what a heavium is @night grail
Medium tanks dont really go fast like a light tank and the tiger 1 Is fine the way it is.
one small thought bout smasher.... just make it a tier VIII tank!!! no balancing- buffs or nerfs - needed, just let it play with and against real opponents in higher tiers.. 🧐
I approve this msg 👆
Pretty ridiculous that it’s playing against tier 6 tanks
@gray heath yes, if you are talking about getting a <100% crew to 100%
is3 buff
