MH is broken. It’s useless now. Doesn’t look like it’ll be getting fixed any time soon, so it’s no point using it now. If players are bothering you ingame, report them to the customer service with a ticket. MH will not do anything to them, and don’t expect much of it either

It's not broken it just never did much to begin with it only mutes after too many complaints (not sure how many)

@twilit crystal I would like to see Maus receiving buff on the armor behind the tracks to the point where only Tds can pen there.

Seriously how a light tank with missile, OP APCR, anti-HE skirts and eventually have armor can pass the balance test?

full token
#

One of the testers here said something about the missile system during test being quite different with lower damage, and some bugs and unreliability, which made testers use much fewer of them, and so WG tried to improve the missiles. I guess the spaced armor and Apcr etc seemed fine to them then

noble siren
#

@fathom vault how is the APCR of Sheridan OP and HE protection against HE makes the tank OP

@noble siren big bro momento. The fact that it can rival tds pen. Making hulldown and super heavies useless. Come on dude 😂 plus keeping light perks while having good armor. 😂 😂 👌

indigo knot
#

Actually even if you remove missiles and give it similar KPF70 gun heat pen it will be a solid tank

night thunder

Well some suggestion to the current tier x meta so its balanced:

M48 Patton: Buff its reload by around 0.3 and increase turret thickness by 20mm frontally and maybe sides ?.

T110e4: increase reload speed a bit ? Cuz its least competitive td

Sheridan: nerf the atgm pen to around 280 and reduce average damage to 460 perhaps. The fact that it can frontally pen is 7 turret and maus upper plate is absurd so we need that to be checked.

Is 7: needed a tad of mobility buff and perhaps accuracy to make it unique as atm its the least competitive ht because some tanks overshadowed it.

Object 140: reduce reload by 0.3 ? So it can compete better in current meta as well.

Fv215b 183: what i have in mind for 183 is maybe just increase dispersion but buff mobility slightly

4202: Slight dpm buff ?

Stb: nerf side armor :V

So make the 183 even less accurate and make it slightly faster what a great idea

Well yes it will make it less campy but still retain its main trait which is to deal absurd damage.

List of tanks I want a buff on:

▪Gib is7 it's speed back, buff it's gun handling. gib more 100 more hp and gib 10+ hull. it will be on top there.

▪Make the e100 lowerplate a little stronger and give it a stronger turret aswell.

▪Make maus checks Strong

▪Buff vk 75 sidesarmor.

✅ : Yes, please(all without speed)
❌ : Don't give it those buffs for is7

👍 do the buff for e100
👎 Don't do it for e100

🇾 : Yes better checks for maus.
🇳 : Don't buff it's cheeks

😁 : buff vk 75's sides
😠 : Don't buff vk 75

night thunder
#

@dense yoke e100 is already a good novel tank doesnt need a buff rlly. The vk is also a good novel tank. If u buff the maus cheeks its gonna be rushed anyways so kinda pointless

round sundial
#

E100 is currently one of the worst T10 tanks in the game, it has too weak armour and all it has left is alpha dmg for a heavy, but I find that E4 can do everything E100 can and better with the exception of sidescraping.

unique scaffold
#

He just wants to buff the heavies because he’s mad his weak spots keep getting hit even though they are supposed to

dense yoke
#

@night thunder I personally think the e100 is beyond trash. I would rather have on it a turret buff, vk sides is meh.

@unique scaffold I don't own any of these tanks except is7. it would be very nice to have a buff on them to make them more competitive.

night thunder
#

@round sundial well thats why i say its a novel tank its gonna be excelling on maps like himmels/dynasty where u can use some sidescrapping position to hold points.

E4 is erm well u dont go frontline in td thats a general known fact but that doesnt mean u should camp either. E4 is basically ez pen with not that good side armor.

Vk 72 is alright as its decent at rushing

nimble zodiac
#

Maus does not need buffed cheeks, all you have to do is angle em

noble siren
#

E100 is kinda mediocre now and kinda keeps up with the new tanks.

Vk72 is the definition of wastes 6 milion and garage slot. The tanks just sucks, the gun is bad the armor doesn't exist, the speed is kinda ok. When I see this tank as enemy it is free damage for me.

Maus doing kinda "fine" too like E100 but easily beatable by other heavies cause the gold ammo. And with that weak spot behind the tracks is just like, miss the lfp pen the tracks.

Is7 can use only slightly gun stats buff.

@fathom vault please post that paragraph again if you can w/o the bad word so it doesn’t get removed it had some great points

so ima just put it out there...but when are premium heavy tanks from t6-7 going to get an armor buff... because in all honesty the premium are now getting power creeped...a good example is the vk 45 03...which for its tier it provides an adequate specialty at everything...but its turret armor is in need of a drastic buff...however instead of buffing the turret i wanted to put it out there that the turret should be completely changed or at least another module introduced which provided a turret similar to the vk 45 02 A researchable turret...because the current Porsche turret is not exactly fit to bounce shots and such like normal german heavies do on the majority of the time

Buff the frontal hull armor on the superstructure of the HO-RI to 280mm and give it a gun mantel. Also buff the sides to 100mm. Also increase the gun depression form left to right a bit. Also buff the HP to 1900

The predator UM still needs to be buffed, it already suffers from the poor gun depression making it only useful in select areas of the map. Just give it a penetration buff on standard armor piercing from 165mm base to 170 base. This is probably the most humble balance suggestion in the whole chat for the last month

Grille needs that speed change my mind

compact nymph
#

Or just balance the WT and Grille so you can just swap their tiers, wich will be a better choice.
A WT with slightly more pen and accuracy along with faster reload will be a better T10 than the Grille is

Edit: I doubt that a speed buff would change anything to the fact is has worse traverse (barely better than an IS-7, but without the armor), worse gun depression, worse camo, no 360 degrees turret and atrocious gun bloom compared to the Waffenträger auf Pz IV, while still being a tier higher. @dense yoke

No reason to not give it the 60km/h speed cause for being so slow lost a battle with like 8k damage. Everything can catch with you, you have no armor, the mobility is generally trash on this tank.

Not after its HE nerf not as good at all

nimble zodiac

It’s still good, it just can’t miraculously derp heavies from the front now.

compact nymph
#

Again, the KV-2 is not supposed to be good. Otherwise it would be even more overplayed. Same goes for the 183. They have high alpha and roughly everything else is pretty bad. They are fine in their current state

upper lodge
#

Please devs, add more armor to the gun mantlet of the obj 263, it would make the tank 10 times better

nimble zodiac
#

Sure, some heavies and the TDs can pen the mantlet, but there are so many weakspots: the sides if allowed to hit, and the deck is an overmatchable plate. The mantlet is a gamble to heavies and a few TDs

noble siren
#

Pffff ahahhahah you serious?

surreal hound

@nimble zodiac the kv2 cant pen like meds but to balance them from all the other they have less pen then the usual cause of the high damage per shot

autumn zodiac

I find it amusing that 76mm of HE pen isn't enough for some people in tier 6.

Calibrated shells should be used for the 152mm anyhow so if 84mm in tier 6 still isn't enough, it's a user Error

So, apparently we have forgotten about a dead tank...
Let's take a look at the VK 30.02 D in comparison with the rest of the tier...
Miserable (145mm) penetration, some of the worst DPM at the tier, mediocre mobility, disgusting turret traverse, disgusting gun statistics, useless armor... May as well just remove the tank, it's that bad currently...

@unique scaffold that Ace Bar is higher than a tier 10 average Ace Bar, E8 generally requires about 2.5k damage and about 3 kills for a mastery

yeah, what the HELL is the meaning of that buff. PLEASE nerf it's DPM, or it's gun depression, or it's pen. That thing is WAY too much

coarse harness

It has the lowest AP pen out of every T7 tech tree heavy

dense yoke
#

@austere moat i like a challenge for the newbies to focus on.

austere moat
#

not lowest, but close to. And besides, it already spits dpm. Now it's just a lumbering titan. It's the KV-4tress of tier 7, and it has DPM instead of big boom damage

Let's just think:
If I can give 3500 damage 3 games in a row and only a first class in each, even though I got 4 kills in 1, and that's BEFORE it got an armor buff, what can it do NOW

Let's also think:
It can win a 1v1 versus most tier 8 tanks in the game currently, even some of the "OP Premiums" out of sheer DPM

coarse harness

Well if you are stupid enough to just sit in front of it on flat ground then you deserve it
But yeah the tank was great after the buff, OP with the consumables and now with the totally unnecessary armor buff it is even more broken

I mean, currently there's no reason to go for the obj140 over the t62a other than the speed, you know it has less armor worst gun less gun depression and stuff why not give it higher penetration and idk a little more acceleration?

sage geyser
#

Replace obj 140 with t-62, it has 4 gun depression and same armour. So choose accurate gun with-7 depression for t62a or -4 depression gun with bigger alpha for t62

latent snow
#

What? Obj has -6 of gun depression.
Am I missing something here?

warped wind
#

@latent snow Nope @sage geyser is wrong

sage geyser
#

@warped wind @latent snow I am saying replace obj 140 with t62, but it has 4 depression but 115mm gun

warped wind
#

@sage geyser Gun Depression on the Obj 140 is 6 deg

sage geyser
#

@warped windik that I am saying removing the obj 140 and replace it with T-62

So you have T-62 with 115mm gun and -4 depression
And the T-62A which we have in-game with -7gun depression but a 100mm gun

warped wind
#

@sage geyser wtf give teh 62 A 4 deg thats one hell of a nerf i dont thing that will work maybe just keep the 62A as is and giev the 140 a buff

round sundial

T62A is good rn, but overrated. STB is still miles better.

sage geyser
#

@warped wind omg when did I say give t62a 4 degrees

I am saying T-62 should replace the obj140
And leave the T-62A alone

The T-62 have bigger alpha than T-62A due to 115mm gun but at 4 degrees depression.
The T-62A will have the same old 100mm but at 7 degrees depression
Ugh why dose it take people so long to understand

warped wind
#

wont happen

austere moat
#

T-62 is a different tank from T-62A btw. Lol i personally would like to see something new in a buff to the 140... I, for one, am interested in what WG has planned for that tank. Extra dpm? More alpha? More traverse? Better view range?

distant river
#

The 140 just needs it's depression advantage back and it will have a reason to be played again. It was fairly balanced choice between the 2 with the 140 being more common because it was more flexible but that wouldn't be as big of a factor as the T62A is pretty flexible now.

unique scaffold
#

nah, leave it at 6 degrees but buff its turret and speed. Will be a better armoured and quicker tank with a worse gun and worse gun depression, simple.

iron hearth
#

Maybe a dpm buff , from 5.2 sec to 4.9 sec, or a gun handling buff (best option in my opinion)

drifting depot
#

Look, t62a gun and armor obj 140 speed and overall mobility, what about that?

unique scaffold
#

Im a noob in that game D:

distant river
#

@drifting depot T62A can take more hulldown positions and is much stronger in them as well has having a more accurate gun. The 140 only has 5kmph better top speed and worse effective hp/t, as well as better hull armour but you shouldn't be using that at all really.

@unique scaffold It will still be a T62A just without depression and still worthless

round sundial
#

I think maximov has a point. That does sound like a reasonable buff. Also T62A is quite overrated atm, yes it's good but it lacks severely when compared to STBs and even T22.

mellow cape
#

I think the 140 is fine personally

gleaming flicker
#

I don't feel much difference on t62A and obj.140 too. Because I don't play those tank Hull down all the time. I rather use it for agresive flank. But the recent buff made some significant changes into the gameplay of t-62A. I appreciate with it

open marlin
#

@sage geyser Why remove the 140? Just don’t play it since it’s not meta

nocturne mauve
#

Wow you guys cannot read

formal vale
#

The 140 does need a little buff imo. I've said it many times before and I'll say it again, just give it its old turret back. That way it has the armor to go hull down, but it can still be penned through the top (in exchange for top speed). The gun handling, traverse, speed, etc are already fine. The issue lies in the fact that the T-62A can easily poke ridgelines and be aggressive where the 140 is more team reliant.

Dont get me wrong, I love the 140, but it's kinda been left in the dust with all these 62A buffs.

austere moat
#

We think the 140's been "left in the dust" Let's take a nice little peek at the FV4202.
It needs something. Either reliable DPM on the L7A1 gun, or more reliable penetration on the L7B. What does the FV4202 do against the HE-immune Sheridan? Or the superheavies that are literally impenetrable to the L7B gun? Or if it has the L7A1, what does it do against the russian mediums that have 2 seconds better reload than it?
That tank has just been forgotten and left farther and farther behind. It's lucky if it keeps up with tier 9, if i am going to be honest, much less with 10s

And don't say it's fine. It's like the Leopard 1. In the right hands, it's a great tank, but those "right hands" are very rare and far between...

I would honestly be happy if they removed 1 second from the L7A1 reload, and add 20-30mm pen to the L7B's standard round. 255 mm pen is nearly useless at tier 10, and the L7A1's dpm is by far the worst of any T10 med, if I am correct. (Progetto has less, when used badly, but you get 2800 if you want to pen anything somewhat armored (HEAT) or you do get 3300 if you load APCR, and fight with meds.

Go back to the glorious month where the 4202 had APCR, HEAT, and HESH all available for one gun.

I just have two things to ask from developers and that is to bring back the D.W.2 and make a credit event where we get a ton of credits

austere moat
#

255 pen is not enough when it comes to heavy tanks, which is the present meta 🤷

compact nymph
#

255 is the pen of the WT i've been using for over 300 battles, and I rarely had to use HEAT (less than 15 times)
#justaimbetter

austere moat
#

the WT is a tier 9 TD. The FV4202 is a tier 10 medium with very little useful armor.
Hm, I guess meds don't really like brawling with heavies, you have a point there. Still though, I feel like the L7B can't do jack versus superheavies, and the dpm isn't high enough without spamming HESH to make up for the lack of armor on the turret

formal vale
#

@austere moat use calibrated shells. That's pretty much standard nowadays ever since they nerfed tier 10 mediums and added the current equipment system we have now.

Edit: For reference, the E50M has 245mm of APCR pen. I use calishells and find no issue with the tank. The same goes for Russian meds, the Batchat, 30B, etc.

sour comet
#

Buff t95 please I find the armour to pointless on it.

Actually, why not give the FV4202 a gun that has APCR, HEAT and HESH at once ? It will become quite versatile, but without broken armour, speed or DPM.

Rate of Fire Buff needed For Tankenstien. From 16.8 down to 14 seconds of reload (with the 130 of cores). As well as a better power weight ratio, Hull and turret traverse. A decent increase to it's engine power top as well as average speed would make it a legit threat 12mm more pen to it's Normal ap shell and 5 or 6 more pen to it's prem ap would be good as well but not REALLY needed.

Now let's get into the "meat and potatoes" of what you said.

First you should clarify that you are talking about two different tanks.

The T92. Don't shoot the upper plate. The turret is an easy pen.
The Sheridan. Don't shoot it with HE. AP is an easy pen.
They alpha is definitely nice. It also comes with a 13-16 second reload depending on the tank. That should be plenty of time to put a serious hurting on the tank in question.
Hitting from cover. For every Iverson landing unbelievable shots there are 20 players putting missiles in the dirt. Secondly while the pen is high aiming via third person can be problematic. A quick turn of the turret or chassis can often times absorb the missile hit with minimal damage. Personally I rarely see a T92 or Sheridan shooting missiles as a benefit to the team. More often than not they are just poking holes in the ground. The missiles are an annoyance but they can be dealt with.

@unique scaffold Just another point: these tanks sorta destroyed the meta though. Nowadays you either see camping lights trying to use missiles and being useless, or lights running through teams and using APCR while being chased by other lights. I think I'll go back to the heavy meta, thank you very much.
On another note, several tech tree tanks have been overperforming for three patches now, and WG refuses to fix them.
Standard B is still pretty broken because they only changed the gun handling and the mobility (a little). It still has the broken HE and still is better than the PTA in almost every way. Also, I completely disagree with the autoreloading mechanic. Enticing players to empty their clips beats the point of the mechanic.
Tiger II, no words needed here. Nerf the damn lower plate already.
Both the Foch and the Foch 155 need to have their old cupola weakspots back. Otherwise they are much too strong, and I'm tired of bouncing off of their cupolas with HT and TD AP rounds even when it says that you can pen. Spamming premium at weakspots is not fun, and a heavy should be able to pen an assault TD in the weakspot. Oh, and the Foch 155 gun nerf did jack. The autoloading gun should NOT have higher DPM, thank you. You either play with a two-shot autoloader with bad DPM or you play single shot with normal TD DPM. Can't have both, and the reduced alpha doesn't do anything if you just decrease the clip reload.

And its not like these problems are NEW or anything, these tanks have been overperforming for two or three patches now.

These are 55%-65% wr players in the game, who obviously know NOT to play the 183 because it is unfun for both sides most of the time. But guess who plays the 183 all day long? 50%ers. So we are stuck with the 183. It has by far the lowest games with better players simply because after the nerf it is no fun to play anymore. Huge, slow, armor-less, no camo, terrible dispersion. I haven't seen a 183 pen HESH since before the nerf, everybody is afraid to use HESH now because it is just so unreliable. Only average players that think that "big alpha is fun" will ever grind the tank. It isn't even useful in comp, only for memes. The grind to it goes through some of the worst tanks in the game, for a disappointing tier X.

Add to the fact that it is extremely reliant on the team, which aren't very good these days, and you get just horrific stats.

I'll take my buffed Jageroo and leave, thank you very much.

After ATGM comes 183 became less effective so we simply need a lil bit of hp or reload or even speed buff or maybe adding ATGM to 183 instead of HESH and HESH instead of HE if you want players to stop spamming HESH just make it expensive

Since they buffed regular M6 side armor, they should do the same to M6A2E1 and the EXP variant, i am sick of being blown up by a T49 HE, having just 30 mm of armor

TBH, the EXP should probably get better hull armour on the front. Having weak sides is okay provided the frontal armour is outstanding. BL- 10s punch through the upper plate all day long

The EXP already has good frontal armor, BL-10 is supposed to punch through anything

unique scaffold

Even many tanks prammo can pen it with a direct hit, but that's manageable in hulldown mode, i don't worry about that. It's only about sides and rear, they are so poorly armored that a heavy tank like the EXP is literally demolished by HE of T49, 128 or 130 mm, or 152 mm guns. So, if regular M6 received armor buffs, then the superior variants should receive them also

compact nymph

M6 exp even gets blown up with 105mm HE from the VK 45.02 A lol. 44mm side armor means overmatch from any 150mm gun. Maybe buff it a bit (55mm or so) to have them stop complaining. Still, keep the rear armor as it is (it’s an US tank, don’t forget it)

I still believe that the t92e1 should just become a regular t92. Since it would be able to do it's job with it's regular turret. It would also be more effective than giving it atgm, but changing the turret to the original t92 turret would most likely give it a speed buff and nerf it's armor.

@lusty silo dear Ribble, why ammo penetrations values are so different between T49 and the tier 9 successor? I think light tank howitzers should have way less standard pen values than regular medium tanks at the tier. That's the case with T49. And now you are giving 230mm standard pen for the tier 9 LT howitzer? Shouldn't be it like 180 mm to encourage howitzer drivers to flank? Why a LT howitzer that can use HE effectively has comparable amount of standard pen to other medium tanks at this tier? It doesn't make any sense...
And please can you do something with LT howitzer spam at higher tiers? Playing regular light tanks is very painful experience 😫

So the French lights are utterly terrible now, as we knew, the t28 bottoms the list as usual, with no change. Tiger 2 v high but not touched, and the atgm nerfs aren't enough, because it's still all too easy to hit tanks over hills without any risk to yourself. They need to increase rocket speed and decrease turning speed to make this impossible, at least at close ranges (i.e. the other side of a hill like on canyon, Normandy, mines, Middleburg, etc.)

@plush trellis the ATGMs are good addition to the game because before them all we had was "The one with impenetrable turret on the hill wins" and it's still like that. So many tanks with turrets you can't pen. And this is the whole game, whoever reaches first the hill wins the match. And the new tank Sheridan prevents that cause I can punish them for camping a hill. The ATGMs should not be removed but reworked and not from the way of using but pen and damage values. But who cares about that if they can't camp somewhere without punished. But about the problem you say nothing else but "OMG rockets= arty but it's even worse, OMG easy to use, OMG so OP" so yeah... that's why I put clown faces under comments like yours, they are just laughable...

karmic steeple

Knowing how to work ridge line is not equal to “camping a hill”. You can also contest those ridges in other armored turret tanks pretty effectively. And most turrets are not impenetrable you have to wiggle a lot to be able to bounce a lot of shots. And I just don’t understand how being able to hit people from behind complete cover is a balanced feature in any way. Even if the meta is bad (which it really isn’t), there are much better ways to switch it up, such as just nerfing certain tanks and buffing others instead of adding a mechanic that can not be balanced

burnt venture
#

@noble siren What kind of point is that? "Hill camping"? We have mediums and lights for a reason, which is to dig those hulldown heavies out of position by flanking. We have teams for a reason, so you can push a flank. And your point that there are "so many tanks with impenetrable turrets", looking just at tier X, most of the turrets have weakspots. The only ones with impenetrable turrets have like no gun depression. No, man, the one with the impenetrable turret on the hill does NOT win. That is why we have flanks in the game... for mediums to exploit heavies that only hold one position the entire game.

How about driving your mediums and pushing the med flank with skill and flanking the heavies, instead of going EZ mode and lobbing missiles onto tanks that can't do anything about it. Medium tanks are supposed to be made for that.

Even if you remove the ATGM mechanic, the Sheridan and T92 would still be extremely competetive tanks, excellent flankers, peek-a-boomers, etc. Don't give me that bull about how rockets are balanced, this game was just not made for missiles at all. So take your stupid argument home.

Lmao do you even play tier 10. Who said that the impenetrable turrets are on the heavies, have you heard of tanks like STB, T62, Obj140, E50M, Wz121, 121B. Nearly all of these tanks have good depression and good DPM. For these tanks is enough to go tp the hill where the enemy team is and that's all. I don't think that needs some skill if you ask me... Without ATGM Sheridan will become less effective in some scenarios.

So take your wrong argument home.

The 140, 121 and 121B have good gun depression? Nice one. I can't even say the T62A has good gun depression, 7 deg is more yes but not that much.
E50M turret is easily countered by HEAT rounds. So is the STB's cheeks, and the STB also has no armor anywhere else.
Bottom line is, tanks that can shoot other tanks without direct line of sight is just not meant for the game, because you should not be punished for being spotted in cover. Hills are useless with these missile tanks. Hulldown is a legitimate strategy to put your tank in a strong position.
Oh, and you think the ATGMs will actually just aim for the armored, fast, hulldown targets? No, ofc they won't, they will go for softer targets like a Leo 1 or a lumbering heavy like the E-100. Still quite a moot point in most situations. @noble siren

cloud dome
#

@noble siren you ever played E50m and gotten heat spammed threw your turret 24/7 only counter to heat spam in E50m is just to ram them so they can’t shoot it. 140 has the two cupolas that is easy to pen if you above 140 height it’s easy pen. 140 not played as much as t62a because of the buff to it. And if you want depression tank look at m48/60 Both got weakpoints but can bounce shots. The tank that suffers the most from missile spam is German heavys because of lack of speed and size and not having 360+ armour everywhere.

orchid grove
#

These balance charts just go to show that for all the cries that “the meta is becoming less slow because of missiles”, the exact OPPOSITE happened. The meta got heavier; not lighter. If you look at the tanks that had big moves in relative position for winrate, tanks that fell in relative position from last update to this update, they were tanks like AMX 50b, Leopard 1, and Bat Chat. Tanks that benefited? Maus, E-50M, JgPz E-100, all the most heavily armored tanks in their classes.

And for what it’s worth, the idea that missiles would reduce camping and speed up the meta was ridiculous on its face. When you make aggressive plays, it’s to take an important hulldown. But if you take that hulldown and still get shot as if you were in the open anyway, you won’t even make that play in the first place. And just getting hit by a missile isn’t going to give you the sudden urge to YOLO into the open either. All missiles have done is made it so that lightly armored tanks have nowhere to hide, while at least heavier tanks can possibly absorb the missiles

twilit crystal
#

I am pretty surprised wg is touching the penetration on apcr and the armor in a one update nerf. They usually never do one update nerfs and I am disappointed they are touching the parts that are normal on a one update nerf considering the fact the tank is very good avg wise but it's still within the realm of other tier x. It looks like the foch and progetto and not a charioteer. I think the tank that got the most screwed in 6.7 was probably the chieftan. I never bounced one. Chieftan with the t92 coz it has no mantle but it depends on going hull down

burnt venture
#

Right @orchid grove because ATGMs punish lightly armored tanks so much more, people regularly already focus lighter tanks for easy damage and the ATGMs made that even worse. To guarantee a pen, you would just target the Leo 1 over the E50M, any day of the week.

This turns the meta into either stupidly long stalemates, where both sides are afraid to push and the ATGM lights are camping in the back, or games that are complete chaos due to everybody attacking and YOLOing.

Why even complain about T92's dpm being low? Are we suppose to stand still shooting face to face til death does us part in this game? The ATGM should be removed, or heavier nerfed. Because by staying behind covers scoring free damage is always a profitable trade. Dpm is low, but the enemy won't be able to shoot. A perfect tool for those can't learn any symbolic skills: hulldown, angling, firing on the move, peek-a-boom, reverse angling, etc That is not how world of tanks works.

Yes, However the ATGM is not a fire and forget system. It still takes skill to hit tour target, and from what I've seen, its not a sure penetration every time.

"Skill"

ember thunder
#

well a normal player wont fire over obstacles and pen it everytime

burnt venture

Firing over obstacles is the problem. No line of sight tanks shouldn't exist, because they make cover worthless. Remove ATGMs, they are not fun for the receiving end and after further nerfs they will not be fun for either end.
One reason people hate Arty so much in PC is that you never know if you are actually safe or not from arty, which makes people so much more afraid to push and take risks, which makes the game more boring. These ATGMs are doing the same, people are afraid to push up or take positions that they otherwise would take because they are afraid a missile can hit them at any time.

Making hills worthless when literally 75% of the game is centered around hill fights is sort of counterintuitive.

And don't hit me with that stuff about how missiles are hard to use. They aren't, especially when people have had some practice. I'm not talking about looping shots across the map, I'm talking about parking on the opposite side of the hill and lobbing missiles at anything you see in third person. Point gun in the air, aim at target using third-person lookout, and click. That is it. In maps like Yamato Harbor or Port Bay, this makes the entire point of the hills useless, especially when they were choke points before.

@charred narwhal I have really never taken this amount of issue with any other OP tank. I would acknowledge that they are OP and annoying, but I never called for their removal. This is an entirely new mechanic, one that breaks the logic of World of Tanks IMHO. So that is why I call for it's removal. This game is based on line-of-sight, that is how people get damage and in doing so they take a risk of getting damaged. Having tanks that can shoot others while being 100% guaranteed safe is stupid. The 183 was slightly ridiculous, but at least it couldn't hit you OVER anything...

grizzled remnant
#

Yeah, I can see tour point.

noble siren
#

@grizzled remnant finally someone who actually knows something about ATGM system

charred narwhal
#

I doubt anyone is willing to sit in the open for 15+ seconds just to hit someone if they make missile sniper only. Removing them isn't an option because they are new, no one would be willing to remove something brand new. They will nerf and buff when needed. This is exactly like the 183 argument. "It's too op nerf it" "no now it's trash buff it" just shut up and play the game. Not everything can be equal. If we remove something people will complain about another thing until everyone has single shot pz2 guns all over.

@burnt venture I can get this but they are new. You asking for removal isn't going to change a thing because there are tons of people who like the tanks. They will simply nerf the tanks until people complain and then buff until complaints come in again. Repeat. It's how the game works. WG don't care too much about customer satisfaction. They might ignore the tanks altogether after a while and add more OP tier 9-10 prems that shouldn't have been added in the first place to counter them. The system was meant to remove campers who sit in the back. It backfired. Just wait and see what happens. The game is already starting to be ruined and we, the players, can't do much.

I have seen many ATGM players guided the missile so perfect, scoring damage as if they were unicum in traditional tanks. And when the enemy, especially meds, push them, they panic and do normal noob behavior, and true, thats usually a noob, who dusted away old school, WOT-related skills to learn such bias way to bust skilled players.
And how terrify broken it is when in pro's hand?

Everyone are just overestimating about these incredible shots, some artillery strikes, and rocket spammer in the new tanks. I wished I could see some of that, but I only met like 5-10 people doing this and they were unicums. Can't see the "no-skill" about using the new tanks. The gun on Sheridan is fine (for now) 240 APCR on that TD gun is fairly fine and see no reason for nerfing it.

distant river

I think since the update I've only been hit by an annoying rocket when I shouldn't have been 3 times, all by unicums. 2 were from the same person near when they were first introduced and I wasn't used to them and one was a genuinely amazing shot that looped around the map and hit me from the side. I could have avoided it or done something but I wasn't expecting it at all. Other than that every missile shot I've taken has been direct line of fire or a miss (or often both). People come here complaining saying how easy it to to do ridiculous shots because they've seen a unicum do 2 or 3 on a video but they haven't done anything like that themselves. If the turning radius was nerfed instead of everything else then there would be no reason to complain

If anything it's forcing people to shoot more missiles which is exactly what the playerbase doesn't want (and they are actually right on something)
I don't agree with the alpha nerf either, when you have things like the 121 that only do 70 less damage with armour and half the reload you are going to be pretty useless. It feels like they are turning the sheridan into a 183 which I don't think anyone wants to see

Not all players in good clans are good players. Ive seen quite a few 40%ers in high wr clans, people that have absolutely no idea what they are doing in battle, leading me to have to carry them. And im only a 60%er, where the majority of their clan members are 65%+ with like 20k games more experience than me.

Also, the missiles are fine atm imo. The nerf will be nice for letting me driving my E 100 around without having to hug a wall, incase i see a missile so i can duck behind it to make the ATGM dip into the dirt, but overall it doesn't change much. They will still fly exactly the same, and still be just as effective for good players, and just as crap for bad players. If you get hit and penned by missiles, it is your own fault for not seeing them and reacting to it. It is easy to dodge them due to the weird aiming mechanic for them if youre in a tank with any decent mobility. If you dont have mobility, you have armour. So angle it. E 100 was fine, and is gonna be even better against the ATGM's, it just suffered a bit when you werent focused on them and they got a shot into your turret side. As soon as the camera passes over terrain or a destructible object, the missile buries itself in the dirt or flies wildly out of control anyway, so ya just gotta get behind a solid bit of cover to evade the missiles.

@unique scaffold the TANKS have 60%. Not the ATGMs. The tanks are at 60% wr because they genuinely were a bit too good. Firing missiles decreases your performance in battle. APCR rounds, standard shells, are far more effective than the missiles. The missiles are definitely good atm, and the balance should stop all the crybaby whining from noobs, too. It aint gonna stop people using them in a situation that requires their use. The APCR is still a better round to use in most battle situations, but sitting on a hill, firing ATGMs at campers to make em move is the best use for ATGM's.

unique scaffold

@viscid breach the missiles are far from being fine or balance at the moment mr 60%

unique scaffold
#

@viscid breach my dude i can tell that the tanks have 60% because of the ATGMs too, the concept of being able to deal easy damage without having to risk losing hp for it, aka trade, is broken in itself. Basic stuff, yes the apcr is good and it needs nerfed a bit, but the most important thing is actually the ATGM shells, a mechanic that must not be in this game as there is no place for it. @white vessel you see the name of the sheridan player behind a hill, then u see a shell coming towards you and hitting you, without any chance of getting a shot back in, everyone would get mad at that, and that happens too often. B R O K E N and nobody can deny it.

Missiles are flxible as they have unlimited gundep @viscid breach

Middleburg is unplayable if enemies have a moderately good sheridan driver.

viscid breach
#

Lmao you get mad at Sheridan drivers for firing ATGMs? Have you even TRIED using an ATGM yourself? I compliment them on a good shot if they manage to actually hit and pen me with an ATGM. Because I know how bloody difficult it is to aim the things if your target won’t stay still, and keeps ducking behind the cover of ridges or buildings. If you are in a position where the Sheridan can do that, you’re most likely in the middle of a field, which is your own fault. Not anyone else’s. You made the choice to drive there. You can’t blame your mistakes on anything other than yourself.

And for the record, yes. There is a place for ATGMs in the game. They make it more difficult for campers, and give an added challenge to the game, thereby making it more fun. Having an easy game isn’t fun. It gets boring. If there’s no challenge, there’s no point in playing.

For the community is obviously harder to camp in medium with impenetrable turret a hill than hitting with rocket (it's easier on PC, but way harder on mobile devices), for me the only problem is the high penetration, but people rant about it so whatever.

@viscid breach you are either trolling or just have simply no clue, yes i have played the tank, am a 69% player with 4200 WN8 and from my experience they are completely broken. It is simple, the 2 tanks are able to be useful in every single position on every single map, add to that the fact that they are goddamn quick and get wherever they want, whenever they want. Recipe for a broken mechanic. No place for such shells in this game.

ATGM’s aren’t for campers though, are they? They’re used predominantly over ridge lines. I feel like most players supporting ATGM’s are trying to use the ‘get good’ argument to act like they’re a good player.

In reality, this rendition of missiles is the step in the door to a full port of artillery to blitz. They’re testing the waters. If we let them put ATGM’s in fully, it’ll be the equivalent of arty for blitz. We shouldn’t let them do that.

The real way to deal with ‘campers’ is by using your mobility. By using your brain and by using tactical manoeuvres to make their position useless. Not by using op mechanics.

All of you are focusing on the wrong thing. It's not about how hard it is to use missiles. The argument against missiles is actually airtight and can be boiled down to this fundamental reality:

Missiles are primarily about hitting people behind cover. Hitting people behind cover is stupid

Unless the pro missile crowd can disprove one of these 2 sentences, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. It doesn't matter if they're hard to use, or unreliable, or can be countered, or whatever. Unless one of these 2 statements can be disproved, they have no case. End of story.

Don't get bogged down in the details. Focus on this fundamental argument.

Saying that an entire genre of mechanics is dumb simply because your subjective feelings about it are negative does not equate to a fundamental reality and "airtight" logic. @orchid grove

the basics of this game are literally based on peek a boo and using cover to minimize incoming damage, by removing hull down cover from the game you effectively change the game in a stupid direction that was not meant for the other 30 tanks at tier X

@formal vale What do you mean by subjective feelings? No matter how hard the ones pro atgms try, the mechanic will never have a place in this game. If it is not based on trading, it has no place in the game. no matter how hard the balance team will try to make it even, they will either be useless, or broken. These shells literally negate massive parts on maps where tanks used their strengths for their benefit. Take Middleburg for example, C area is now killed cause nobody wants to be shot at with no way to get a shot back. If u don’t have a sheridan in your team, you’re at a disdvantage, that much of a difference makes 1 single tank. Totally unhealthy for this game. @formal vale im pretty sure he just used the worst ‘stupid’ instead of something like; bad for the game, unhealthy etc. I don’t think we should pay attention to that. I’ll take a look at ur idea

formal vale
#

@unique scaffold subjective in that he think's they're "stupid". That's an opinionative statement that's not grounded in facts. So calling it a "fundamental reality" is entirely disingenuous. Although I agree that ATGMs are bad for the game in their current state, being able to hit something around cover is not entirely a bad mechanic when executed correctly. Unfortunately, they've been executed poorly in their current state.

I've proposed my ideas in #666263717033541662 and I'm not really willing to restate them atm (it's nearly midnight).

It's interesting how the majority of noobs take the effort to say what is balanced and what is OP. But they can't take the effort to understand how this game works.

@humble nebula Those stats are the correct stats, and why shouldn't I compare it to prems? The T22 is OP but it's being powercrept a bit and the "completely and totally broken OP" Sheridan has a 2% worse WR. It still only has 273 players compared to the next lowest which is 1166 (T22) and it's pretty obvious most of not almost all of those are going to be unicums, but it's still being beaten in stats by the 30b which isn't exactly known for being a great tank.

So, the people with contributor accounts like bushka and meadsy are now voicing out against ATGMS and wargaming is only doing a nerf which wont help anything, they need to react to the contributors the ATGMS have no place in the game and are slowly killing it, trust me i have seen 2 or 3 atgms get behind a ridge or hill were u cant shoot them and just launch missile after missile and kill tanks that cant even shoot back! Wargaming needs to respond with deleting this tanks before their game gets deleted by the majority of players.

As has been stated many times before, they will not remove something they JUST added less than a month ago. They will fiddle with it and try to balance them. Look at the 183. People say over and over to nerf it but once it's nerfed, they all complain it's too weak and they need to buff it. Repeat. It's a cycle and yet the 183 hasn't been replaced or removed. So again, they will not remove something they just added and will try to fix it before taking such drastic measures.

The nerf is really dumb. The missile mechanic is super broken while the base tank is probably just overcooked and needed more data

#

@crystal halo @flat bane the AT series just got a major armor buff, and now they’re somewhat abusable

viscid kettle
#

Since the sky is falling, can you guys just learn and adapt while WG figures out the best approach to balancing ATGMs? Clearly something needs to change, but that doesn't mean that ATGMs need to be pulled because they have interrupted your gameplay as you like it.

nimble zodiac
#

There’s no adapting to being shot without being able to shoot back generally. The missile velocity may change some way of using them efficiently, but they still have a broken mechanic. The only way to counter a somewhat good player in em is to rush them with high DPM meds, which may not be a good choice because it pushes your boundaries to get struck by TDs, just to kill off a tank that’ll gradually melt you away otherwise.

drowsy plaza
#

I still fail to see them dominating unless it’s a good player. The Progetto still has a significantly higher avg dmg in tier X than the Sheridan and a remarkably better WR even after the nerf. Yeah heavy tanks are less effective- but honestly I’m fine with that as since 3.8 they have been overly dominant. Medium tanks are now much more effective and as long as you have good SA and don’t act like your impenetrable hulldown the Missile tanks aren’t hard to deal with.

#

I would still like a Targeting fix for then though.

twilit crystal
#

Winrate is useless when it's clearly better players using and spamming the sheridan. Spamming is key word here

viscid kettle
#

@nimble zodiac There are many scenarios already where you cannot pen a tank with anything you got... which means you have to come up with a different strategy. How is this any different?

drowsy plaza
#

@twilit crystal the NA average WR for the Sheridan is around 48% how does that mean better players spamming it?

nimble zodiac
#

This is different because they can find a way not to expose their tank in order to shoot you. Other than hulldown, this isn’t really something to easily strategize against in pub matches if at all. A missile tank with support can confidently sit there, knowing that they can’t rush them without being destroyed by supporting meds or TDs. Sure any tank can do that some way, but a new mechanic with high pen missiles flying at you isn’t really easy to counter, unless they’re alone, which isn’t too likely for fairness. I think T92E1 and Sheridan can have a special place by simply being able to out-trade tanks in their type. Like the Chimera trading 440 for 225/280/310/400, T92E1 can trade 560 for 310/350/400, and Sheridan can trade 560 for 310/350/400/420 (by their type I mean lights and mediums due to their general direction)

@nimble zodiac I still don't see the difference. Missiles are slow and if you are far away, most tanks can dodge - it's not a sure thing to fire a missile. In my own T9/T10 games, they aren't really affecting me much other than having to change my strategies. &&I will also say that I play mobile exclusively, so maybe its different on PC

@drowsy plaza So what if it has lower average damage vs the progetto? The broken part is that it doesn’t need to trade to get damage, the shells have too much potential and can clutch too hard, some matches that are totally unwinnable. This is unhealthy for the game. For example, if you don’t have a Sheridan in your team when playing tournaments, you are most likely to lose. How is 1 tank out of so many t10s being essential balanced? Instead of looking at its stats, look at its potential, no other tank comes even close to it, by far. This ‘NEW AND INNOVATIVE’ gameplay simply spells the death of the game, no matter how much we like it. Add to that the fact that teh S. Conq is going to be in crates 😂 Also, RIP to most usual aggressive spots taken by tanks where they used their strenghts, ATGMs gonna hit u without u having any chance of doing damage to them 🙂 Totally fun

hollow basin
#

@unique scaffold preach it brother 🙂

austere moat
#

Well, he has a point. This "New and Innovative Gameplay" has absolutely shifted the meta, has destroyed the niches very lightly fit by some tanks, and has made others absolutely unplayable. The mechanic is insanely easy to abuse, and it is supremely difficult to counter, especially in good hands.

Iverson is proof of that. He's a god in the tank, and he has unlimited potential. He essentially has a way to print wins now. He can likely do the same in other tanks, but now those other tanks have to chance to fight back against him.

Not to mention that playing any tank that is decently immobile is hellish, and thanks to how the mechanic works, armor angles are very very ineffective, and instead you have to work your *** off to beat their shots. And that's JUST the missiles. Let's not ignore that the FASTEST TANK IN THE GAME has 152 MM APCR AND HE AS WELL.

"Oooh nooo I stay in open, and got hit by rocket, omg this is so OP omg, omg" seriously I really wanna see people dominating in Sheridans. So many noobs cry about the ATGM system, "I stay behind rock I got shot plz nerf" If YOU ARE COVERED YOU CANNOT BE HIT is that hard to understand??? You can't aim precisely with ATGM at long distances on mobile devices, but on PC you can. The tank are not that OP when things like T22, T62, STB and other meds with strong turrets exist. The ATGM system works perfectly on bad players cause they usually stay in the OPEN AREA WITHOUT ANY COVER.

If someone can show a video how he domintes on unicums with Sheridan, because 90% of tje cry babies claim that noobs dominate battles in Sheridan. I will be very grateful if at least you people ( the crying ones ) have some evidence and facts to show instead of just saying randome things.

I'm OK with tje ATGM nerf but the APCR pen values should not be touched.

Anyone have clips of Iverson in action, destroying anyone and everyone in his Sheridan? I don't... However numbers don't lie.... And these numbers say they're broken as all hell

He will crush with any tank, yes. But do his stats not stand out in his Sheridan at all? I would think they do.

I would 100% support WG removing the missiles for a little bit to do some major tuning on the mechanic itself.

Seriously, the general populace shouldn't need to deal with this until they figure out what the issue really is.

I was very skeptical of the idea that these ATGMs would be blatantly OP when they first came out. "Give it a month or so to let people figure out how to counter them".

Well it's been a month. They're still broken.

Edit: Remove the ATGMs, not the tanks themselves is what I mean. I'd really like to see these tanks play with regular HEAT ammunition.

@austere moat that's why I talk only about Sheridan because the tier 9 one is completely OP amd broken and it should receive some serious nerf. But the Sheridan is in a good spot atm for me. Never have the problem to deal with one of them or all of them. But in tier 8-9 the tier 9 is just OP, you can't do pretty much anything.

My personal T92E1 needs a buff. 28 games 50% this month. 2400 avg dmg - but hard to carry a team with its DPM....

@drowsy plaza I personally struggled with the T92E1 at first as well. But you have to learn when and where to put your shots. Your effective dpm is much much higher than your theoretical dpm, so it's very much worth making every shot count.

When I started to play with the T92 I spammed the rockets like crazy just cause of the fun and to try the new mechanic
I had like 2,5K avg dmg
Then I started to play seriously
I used like 1 or 2 missles out of 10 shots, only when I needed that extra pen or the unlimited depression and I curved some shots on ridgelines of course
I reached 3K and I was pretty satisfied with it but it went up further and further and I can still improve it pretty easily
And just to mention it I don't have the lookout area enabled🤷🏻‍♂️
So yeah the tank would be OP without missles as well
In most situations instead of using ATGM for the memes you can be much more effective with a good old flanking, peak-a-boo or hit and run
I think the planned nerf on these tanks are pretty good (exept for the APCR pen nerf on the Sheridan) but people won't stop crying about it no matter what🙃

You gotta change the way you use the missiles. Even if it’s lower damage and pen, it can still be shot to hit the side, without even exposing your tank at all. Sure, less damage per shot. But you’ll still be able to have a high reward for no risk.

@noble siren im glad that you don’t struggle with them, you are probably a 4000+ WN8 player that wins more than 70% of his games easy. Actual thing is the SIMPLE fact that it negates almost every aggressive positions that good players and even average players took to use their tank’s strengths, how is it balanced that 1 tank is essential in tournaments. Simply hitting shots without having to risk anything for it is a broken concept. Guys stop looking at the tanks average stats ffs, just think about it, at least 1500 damage you do with the missiles are most of the times a HP advantage! You don’t have the need to trade for it! That gives you a higher chance of winning, and no other tank has such ability. I have played almost 60 games on multiple accounts, and have a 78% wr and 3600+- avg dmg, took me way more effort to have such averages in the 215b. Most of my clutch games were me vs 1,2,3 players, but i was most of the time full hp! Why? Because i used missiles the right way! So i have seen worse players do the same thing, play hidden until they need to go out, with full hp and ready for a fight. Before you call me a crybaby, i am not complaining about them because i lose when i encounter them. In the past months i have quit playing my main acc and played on different other accounts, only with the Sheridan, annoying players almost every single game.

@unique scaffold if you are good player and use everything right you can't blame the tank for working the way it was meant.

Can we talk about Tier V HT balance?

KV-1 has the worst pen, DPM, aim time, and bloom, and second-worst dispersion of all tanks in the tier.

It got a huge nerf to side armour recently, and then the T1 Heavy and BDR G1 B got significant armour buffs. Now the T1 Heavy has more side armour than the KV-1 has front armour. In fact the KV-1 has the worst frontal hull armour in the tier, and since the nerf it has the second-worst side armour.

KV-1 has middle-of-the-range camo, but pays for it with the worst view range by far in the tier.

Unsurprisingly, this plays out as you'd expect: KV-1 trails badly in damage per battle, damage ratio, kills and kill:death ratio, and survival when compared to the T1 Heavy. Looking at the winrate curves it's clear that while KV-1 may be balanced now, T1 Heavy is just brokenly overpowered, especially in the hands of more capable players.

Can we please get the T1 Heavy armour buffs wound back a bit, get the KV-1's side armour back, and maybe either a front armour and/or firepower buff for the iconic Russian?

I'm not a good enough person to leave my T1 in the garage, but I have to admit every time I take it out to tick off those Encounter kill, HT win, toon kill and toon win missions I do feel just a little bit dirty.... plus I'd like to be able to drive my KV-1 again without feeling like the runt of the litter. If I want that feeling, I'll drive my Churchill III and at least I'll make some credits while everyone pokes holes straight through my armour regardless of angle or sidescrape...

I’m really starting to get sick of WG making tier 10 tanks that should be in the tech tree into premium tanks. Like the chieftain, the WZ111-5A, and more. And now they’re doing it with the super conqueror as well which is just plain dumb. Putting the best and most well known tier 10 tanks behind a HUGE paywall? Not okay in my opinion. They are getting far too greedy. They are adding these new “vickers” British heavy tanks into the British tech tree in tier 9 and 10, tanks that literally no one cares about, and then selling the super conqueror as a premium. I really love blitz and I can look past balance issues and other issues, but this is really starting to get on my nerves. I’d probably be literally the LAST player to permanently quit this game, but even so, this is still angering me. They really need to stop it with the tier 10 premiums and focus on tier 8 premiums, I don’t care how many tier 8 premiums they add as long as they are vaguely balanced.

crude pumice

it's doubt. 230mm with calibrated shell has 240mm and it can go through tier10 like 183's HESH.
T92 and sheridan have best mobility, so they will have to do run and gun more, not camp and sniping.

@crude pumice APCR is weaker and worse than AP and btw the 152mm doesn’t have the same gun length or power as the 183 and if they even do have the best mobility having to run CS just to get back upto the old pen which was still weak makes them unbearable to drive and no Sheridan or T92 ever sniped if you saw one doing that odds are they were a 46%er

@unique scaffold It is still good as it is not nerfed by 220mm penetration HEAT bullets. Historically, Sheridan had 20 HEATs and 9 ATGMs, and should be pleased with the great benefits of just being able to fire the APCR. (I think these tanks should be changed to 220mm HEAT.)
The game doesn't have to be historical, but these tank adjustments are no good.
It is clear that it is too strong considering that they are fast, single shot powerful, good penetration, good concealment, and it can ignore the enemy's defense posture with missiles.
The risk of taking damage per shot was too low, so it's reasonable to nerf the amount of damage done instead of increasing the risk of taking damage.

Guys what do you think about a buff on FCM 50 t? It's a balanced tank but demands high skill with meds from the player because it's bigger than E50 M, have a mediocre agility for medium and the armor... welp at least you won't get so much HE with that armor.
The only really good things on the tank are the HP poll and the cannon but that's not enought to be as popular as other tier 8 premium tank

That's the proof about why FCM needs a buff @distant river, the tank is balanced but you need great skills for reach it

distant river
#

I think the first thing you said is perfect "it's a balanced tank" ie it needs no changes at all

If a tank is balanced then by definition it needs no buffs or nerfs 🤦‍♀️

So do you know what happens when you take a balanced tank and give it buffs? @tough temple

You foch up that tank. That is what happens

tough temple

It's balanced when you get the playstyle of the FCM, and even with it your stats won't be as high as other tanks
It's the hardest tank to play in tier 8
So a buff would make it easier

distant river
#

It's either balanced or it's not, and it's definitely balanced. It is definitely not the hardest tank to play at tier 8 and it definitely needs no nerfs or buffs

Lmao its one of the weakest tier 8 tanks and it doesnt need a buff

unique scaffold
#

FCM is a great tank actually, weird trollish armour on the front and turret that get way more bounces than it should, great pen on its ammo and decent gun depression. @tough temple hardest tank to play is a tank that is bad. I’d say the 13 90 is the hardest one to play. @tough temple easily gets rekt by a t44? With 100 more hitpoints? 37 more pen? Also dont forget that it is way more flexible than the t44 with the combination of extra pen and gun depr. The size of it is not an issue if u know the positions to play it in. It is kind of a beast against lower tier meds and still holds up well against t9 with that penetration. There are worse tanks that need buffs, the FCM is a perfect tank. Not touched for a while just how it should be. Also by trollish armour im talking about the actual turret and the front plate, no tracks involved.

tough temple
#

@unique scaffold the "trolling armour" is called as 30mm of tracks

But an actual French heavy tank with an ultra size and mediocre speed, makes the tank don't fit so much at the medium tank game. The only thing that you can do is flank at long distances and give support by the sides of the battlefield

I played a lot with 13 90 and welp, at least it isn't a vehicle bigger than an E50M, and at least can run 62km/h

Even @mellow cape agree it's one of the weakest tier 8, but about the "doesn't need a buff" part that he said... I wish it's irony

It's a great tank in the hands of who really knows how to work with this tank, but the average player than fights in a T-44 can just erase the FCM

mellow cape
#

@tough temple that part is irony sorry for not making it clear

distant river
#

Just because it's not op like most tier 8 prems it doesn't mean it's one of the weakest tanks at tier 8 🤦‍♀️

If it's a balanced tank then it shouldn't be changed. It is a balanced tank. It doesn't need a change. Good players do well, bad players don't. That is exactly how every other tank works as well. It needs to change at all. @tough temple

tough temple
#

Actually I never said about OP premium tanks at tier 8 while talking about FCM but here we go.

You don't need an OP tank to compare, say 3 names of tier 8 medium tank and let's compare in blitzstars
@distant river, compare how players do with the tank, wr and general stats

Welp if you didn't say names in 5 minutes, so I'll show 3 medium tanks that really fits perfectly and how players use them

distant river
#

Compare all of them and see that it has a WR of 49% (better than average) and it is about half way up the list for all stats. It is balanced. It doesn't need any change at all

tough temple
distant river
#

And those 3 are all great tanks, even the CDC which only has slightly better stats than it, all you are showing is that it's worse than 3 good prems... 🤦‍♀️

If you think a tank with a WR 5% higher than average should get a buff then you really need to think about what's going on inside your head.

You have agreed that it is a balanced tank. It is not too good and it is not too bad. It does not need to be changed. How hard is this to understand? I can't really put it in simpler language but you still don't look like you understand.

tough temple
#

I said "It's a balanced tank but demands high skill with meds from the player".
(Now I'll copy and paste what you said)
How hard is this to understand? I can't really put it in simpler language but you still don't look like you understand

I compared most of tier 8 premium medium tanks, and only where is wins on stats, most of times are from number of player's, average spots and rarely average dmg

distant river
#

You really don't understand at all do you? If a good players do well and average players don't, then it's exactly the same as every other tank that isn't OP...

You still don't have a clue about what to compare things to because you are still only looking at prems and anyone with half a brain knows that most prems at tier 8 are too good. Try comparing it to balanced tanks and you will see that they have basically the same stats, because the FCM is balanced
Try comparing it to tanks that are too good (like you are doing) and you will see that it is worse than them, because the FCM is balanced

See how these are all balanced tanks below, and it has similar stats (slightly better than 2 because it's a prem so no grind). See how it doesn't need any changes at all?

tough temple
#

We usually compare premiums with premiums, ma friend

distant river
#

That's your first issue there, why on earth would you do that? You compare tanks against everything at that tier, and see that it has average WR, and damage which are basically the only 2 things you need to look at.
Obviously if you try and compare a balanced tank against great tanks then the balanced one is going to look worse isn't it? It doesn't take a genius to figure this out or to figure out that the FCM needs no change whatsoever.

imo i think fcm is meh. every tank can pen the armor, somtimes it will bounce. it is soooooo huge, that it is so annoying, i mean trying to run from a tank or hide behind a bulding from a tank is gonna be a pain for the fcm because its big. it has speed which is nice. but imo it needs a buff to compete with other premiums.

distant river

So basically you want to make the tank too good making tier 8 even worse, well at least we all know that's one person's opinion to completely ignore in the future...

Handy reminder to everyone, if what you are suggesting is going to make the game worse, don't suggest it and save yourself the trouble of losing the argument

P.S. it might be worth reading the rules again you seem to have missed the no politics bit

@dense yoke It's got a great gun and a troll turret and hull if you know how to use it as well as speed, you shouldn't be relying on it's armour at all. Again you are making the stupid point about making it as good as the other premiums that are too good which will break tier 8 more.

Fcm in good hands can farm damage. Fcm in bad hands gets farmed. Even though Imo it’s on the lower end, it is balanced - and that’s what the other tanks should strive to be - good strengths and obvious weaknesses
*if a tank doesn’t have that good strengths, it should not have any big weaknesses; the good gun is countered by size, countered by almost HE-proof armor; the perspective of balanced in tier 8 is just messed up by dooky-strong tier 8’s powercreeping balance in the tier

so Ive been playing with chaffee for a bit now, my only complaints is just its top speed. 56 for a light tank is just awful, compared it to the t21, type64, cromwell.

@distant river I like how you use Centurion I as an example of a balanced tank. Good one, I nearly snorted coffee out my nose 😂 That tank has been last or second last on the WG balance charts for 55-65% players as long as I can remember. The relative win rate charts in your screenshot show the same thing - Cent I underperforms for all players at all skill levels. It's just a horrible dog of a tank and I cannot understand why it's been allowed to languish in that state for so long.

@empty copper you’re wrong, the centurion 1 is not a horrible tank, it just asks for more skill and a different gameplay. Just like leo 1 at t10, also one of the last on the charts, do you also think the leo is a ‘horrible dog of a tank’?

noble siren
#

Just said that the APCR will not be that reliable with low pen at tier 10 (for Sheridan) didn't meant that 240 pen is weak, and that I couldn't pen the sides of the T62 because it's weak but because of the type of ammo. If it was AP I was not going to have problem with 230 pen. My idea was that the APCR will be absorbed by the tracks of the heavy tanks which happens to me a lot (not completely sure that it works like that so no need to put clown faces on every person with different opinion)

quiet veldt
#

What is your thoughts on letting the player use MGs on the tanks but only for about 15-20 meters and only for a short time (cant pen the tank) and only 1x per battle

empty copper
#

@unique scaffold more skill? The tank underperforms at all skill levels. That's not my opinion, that's what the numbers say. No matter how highly skilled the player, they will win more in other tanks at the tier than they do in the Centurion I.

The'horrible dog' is my opinion. Cent I is slow, huge, lacks any hull armour, and the 'strong turret' is easily penned by tier IX tanks. The alpha is terrible and forces continuous exposure in a tank that is unable to brawl and unable to run if pushed.

I don't own the Leo 1 so I don't really have an opinion. It is statistically weaker than the T-62A though, especially among highly skilled players who get more out of the T-62A than they can get out of the Leopard 1.

Compare the Centurion with the T-44. The better the player, the more wins they get with the T-44; but you don't see the same thing with the Centurion, because it's - yup - a horrible dog of a tank.

Edit: @unique scaffold I know how to read a chart, pal. And what the charts say is that if you are getting a higher win rate out of your Centurion I than out of your T-44, then you are a very rare bird indeed, because practically no-one else is managing that trick.

unique scaffold
#

@empty copper i can assure you that you have no idea what u r talking. The centurion is definitely not that weak of a tank, and the comparison you did was pretty bad, t44 barely has any frontal armour except the turret, no pen and only 7 degrees of gun depr, the centurion is way more flexible and in the right hands it can be a pain to go against. Also t9 tanks pen anything so that is a bad comparison. There are many other tanks with better stats on paper but less flexibility which may be more foolproof but can’t give u that much when u master them, unlike the centurion. Oh yeah btw leo 1 is statistically the worst t10 med, but it is way more flexible than the likes of obj 140 or 121b, it can perform way better than the 2 if played correctly. @empty copper im glad that u can read, but can you play? If you could do it well the you not have any issue with the centurion. Checked your stats on the cent and it clearly tells me you have no clue how to play it. No offense but i can’t take this seriously when it seems like it is a personal matter.

@meager spruce thé question we should ask about the leopard 1 is:
Would Meadsy, or 3very, use it in a tournament match? Would they choose it over an STB-1, or a T-62A, or a T-22?

That should tell how the tank deals against other players.
The Leopard 1 is a skill-based tank, for sure. You rely on your skill, and the lack of skill from your opponents. Face any 60%er in a leopard against any 60%er in, say, an STB. Or a T-22. Or a T-62. 9/10 times, the leopard will lose. Not to mention the fact that unless you wanna show off your *** to the reds, the leopard is the only HE magnet of them.

In my opinion, the charts made in #devs-answers should be based off of how they deal in tournament play, not how they deal in pub play. Base buffs and nerfs off the pros, facing pros, not the high level players facing versus the low level players.

I think the sheridans armor should be buffed because I get penned in it too often

It does need another 15-20mm turret armor. DMG you have to admit the tank is rather weak currently
They have a point - it is a super heavy, and it does get penned in the turret with ease - the only things that struggle at all are tier 9 meds, it seems.
At its absolute strongest point with enhanced Armor, it only gets 340mm on any point in the turret

I honestly prefer a LFP buff for the E100
Most I can get out of the LFP is 250-260 of the armor at PERFECT angle. Enhanced armor may buff that to 260-270 but most tanks (aside from meds which would flank for side shots) have pen to go through that.

Response to NMH: It doesn’t have to be major or mandatory Maybe like 5mm buff if it needs a buff at all. Either way, using the e100 in comps isn’t going to work.

austere moat
#

That's the point of a weak spot.... Don't eliminate that sort of weak spot... Instead, eliminate the unintended weakspot that's now a weakspot...

empty copper
#

So the argument is that the Centurion I is balanced, despite routinely coming last or 2nd last in pretty much any important performance measure amongst tier VIII meds (except survival, it's only 4th last for that) for players with overall 45-55% win rates. This (we are told) is because in the hands of a player who 'gets it', it's more versatile than any other tier VIII medium.

So who are these players who 'get it'? Not 55-65% win rate players; for them, the Centurion I is 3rd last for win rate and 2nd last for damage on the WG balance charts. Not any of the top 3 record holders in the Centurion either; for all of them, the Centurion lags behind their other tier VIII mediums for damage, kills, damage and kill ratios, spots and survival. Only the top Centurion I player of all time had a higher win rate in it than in the other tier VIII meds, and even then, it's only a 28-battle sample (so heavily influenced by honeymoon matches and less statistically significant than that player's results in other tanks with more games played). And even then, the only area where the cent stands out is the win rate, when every other measure shows it lagging the competition, in the hands of the best Centurion player on blitzstars.

I'm really curious now; who are these players for whom the Centurion I outperforms their other tier VIII meds?

I don't blame them for doing it, it's the logical thing to do. Its just that WG shouldn't allow that sort of stuff.

@regal grove May I propose another idea? From the perspective of a frequent Grille driver and enthusiast

The speed isn’t necessarily the problem with the Grille, I’ve noticed it’s more the acceleration and hull traverse that are to blame for its somewhat subpar mobility for a light tank destroyer, 50 Km/h is a great speed for it, especially considering the massive gun sitting on top.

So my proposition is buff the P/W ratio from 22.2 to 24.0 and increase the hull traverse from 30.62 to approximately 38.50, then it can hit its top speed more quickly and lose less speed on turns

#

Vindicator buff ever? All it needs is 6 depression, 26 more Heat pen and 8 more He pen and it's great. a little less weak points on the front will do it good as well.

@sonic spear very good idea, the acceleration is mainly the problem for its more than sluggish pace
But anyways ima keep at the daily grind, until WG buffs the Grille speed somehow

The bats are the weakest because the other light tank completely counters it and dominates it

The Sheridan/t92 is faster and easily one shot out trades the bats which need to expose for far longer to dump their clips. Come to think of it, sometimes missile tanks don’t have to expose themselves at all

If we are on the topic of bigger callibers, then why don’t you give a normal hesh round to the 5,5 inch on the conway, that would deal (around) 770 damage? (Subsequently nerfing the reload to ~14 seconds when maxed out to avoid a tier IX charioteer ) The tank is not that special by itself, and paying the price being lack of premium round and having 0,38 dispersion just to get extra 30 alfa damage compared to it’s peers like the waffle makes it pointless to play with the bigger gun.
Having a unique feature like truly best potential alfa at tier IX would make the tank much more interesting to play and it would finally make sense to stop playing the L1, once you’ve spent those 60k xp.

@unique scaffold T-34-3 has a better turret due to shape and a much better Prammo round. As well as better aim time.

Aim time is good. But the good turret is kinda useless since it has no gun depression at all.

the real stupid part of the conway is just like the foch, they nerfed the bad gun on the conway for no reason

Which gun is bad on the Conway?

twilit crystal

well the conway used to have a super fast reload 120 mm that was pretty OP by WG standard so they nerfed(overnerfed it too) but no one thought the 14 cm was op but they still nerfed that one even though the conway is just an inferior pz iv lol with way less camo and larger profile and a slower reload and worse gun handling,only advantage is armor(not much)and speed boost consumable which is pretty useful ill admit but not god tier.It is mostly HE proof anyway so no need to carry the HE provision just use extra food

While the Grille benefitted nicely from the recent concealment buff, it’s quite small in comparison to the Gun arc and hull traverse nerfs it received previously, which it now needs in this current phase of the game due to more tanks with much better mobility. It’s lightly armored and not very mobile by comparison, and has little to no chance of surviving a flank because of it

Why pop out and get shot when you can hide and still pen with the ATGM. Theres a thing called effective dpm. Fire apcr if you can safely do so,and if you cant, use the broken mechanic called atgm. Atgms allow peeps to maximize effective dpm behind cover, even tho it has a longer reload rate cause of flight time.

It's like the same argument about using normal pramo shells. It's better to pen all your shots and do damage to a heavily armored tank, rather than bounce 50% of your normal shells and cause less damage overall. Effective dpm helps win games.

@coarse dawn then there will be no reason to put ATGMs in game if you need whole year till the rocket hits duh...

coarse dawn

Its not going to slow down the missile, it just means you cant control it without a line of sight.
You could use something like 0 time raycasting, a second ray fired the same time as the missile, then check if the ray collides with any surface between the origin and the target. If yes, missile will continue on a straight line and not respoond to player aim control; if no, missile will maintain player aim control.

This way, you must maintain a direct line of sight, like a real laser would. But you can still change the direction of the missile. You could even add an effect to tell the player whether they have dLOS or not, like a red X attached to the reticle that changes shape or color.

@coarse dawn the idea is bad

unique scaffold

proceeds to call the idea bad with no counter argument, i call that ‘big brain’

noble siren
#

@unique scaffold it's bad cause the point of making this type of shells was to hit while behind cover, not expose yourself long enough so the fv 183 in the spawn can hit you. That's why the idea is bad, it makes you exposed at the price of literally nothing, everything will be able to hit you, the rocket will take so long to hit that the enemy will be able to react without problem and still trade with you. It's enough reasonable to call the idea bad EDIT: the other most simple way is putting HEAT and buffing the HE values to not be laughable

unique scaffold
#

@noble siren the point that the ATGMs should hit behind cover was enforced by WG, trading damage with 0% risk is a completely broken concept, any kind of rework or nerf that will increase the % of risk is always welcome, as it is the only way to balance it, that is why i consider the idea decent, with some tweaking needed

mental pasture

@regal arrow this area is M6A2E1 feature, it was made for be impenetrable in frontal armor
Nerf it is making the tank obsolete

That's why the tank have no armor at sides and behind, it can't even sidescrape

coarse dawn
#

@noble siren the game was never built to support ATGMs in the first place. All the maps, vehicles and strats are developed for conventional shell firing tanks.

Playing to the defensive strengths of your tank minimizes risks (eg going hulldown, sidescraping, hill hugging, firing from camo). But there is no tank capable of engaging or firing without taking any risks (weakspots, weak armor, slow speed etc), there's always a chance someone will get you, except ATGMs. With ATGMs you have the ultimate defensive strength, being able to fire from cover, after all the terrain is impenetrable.
