Drac literally excels in almost nothing amongst the tier 7 meds it’s dpm is slightly too low for it to tango one on one with other meds the gun is also annoying to use on the move and can take a bit to aim in its still paper too and isn’t really any faster then most tanks at tier 7

@deft owl really went:
"LMAO me use graph on tank that has a lower playerbase that's mainly constituted of Unicums and then compare that to tank that has playerbase that's several times as huge meaning people of various skill levels play the tank."

Only "premium" that's miles better is the Smasher but the rest are honestly pretty fine

@restive lily did you not read a single thing I said

winged barn
#

All those thumbs down look very petty
(OMG I GOT ONE)

Also when was the last time the drac was offered? The players that have the drac obviously have more experience than many of the panther players

The sad part is that they are now considered fine because of all the overbuffing of the tech tree tanks

@deft owl if you think all premiums are mile better than any tech tree vehicle, I can only recommend you to open your eyes and stop living in the past.

Personally I prefer the tiger 1 compared to the panther. Gun isn’t as accurate but the armor is more reliable

deft owl
#

@jagged crescent You can see in the graph player base of panther 1 and drac skill difference is abysmal. Go learn reading the graph.

@deft owl Very. Big. Difference.

And I love how you default to trying to say that I'm protecting op prems which is complete and utter bs lmao

Oh btw still no actual reasons from you about why panther 2 is balanced

@deft owl Wow! It's almost as if skill is something that's ultimately defined by the player and not neccessarily the tank! 🤡

"👎"

deft owl
#

@distant river Because you are claiming Panther is better then Drac when it isnt. Its literally defending op premiums.

@unique scaffold Panther front plate can be penned by literally every tank it faces. I mentioned this before, its not my fault if you dont pay attention.

@jagged crescent You are literally clueless. Comeback when you make some sense.

distant river
#

@deft owl You are making a huge huge (and completely incorrect) leap assuming that I'm defending tanks by saying the panther is op 🤦‍♀️

But anyway look at the stats of the drac and the panther. Panther has significantly better dpm and pen as well as prammo pen. Panther has significantly better dispersion and roughly equal bloom and aim time. Drac has better depression but that's not that useful because it's paper. Drac has better top speed and power to weight. Panther can bounce almost pretty much all standard ammo from the front unless the spend ages aiming at the lower plate while the drac is paper.

Two completely different tanks and playstyles, but still the panther has better armour and a miles better gun. The drac just has mobility.

Drac isn’t as op anymore. Tanks at tier 7 have armor now. A lot of them got armor buffs. Something with lower pen like the Drac can’t do so well against all that, and it doesn’t even have the armor. HE is easy to use against it.

deft owl
#

@distant river 175mm effective upper plate do not bounce anything at tier 7. Anyone with half brain can penetrate it with gold rounds.

@full token Drac is literally covered with spaced armor. HE is not easy to use against it.

@winged barn I guess you cant aim to lower plate.

Yeah panther is overbuffed. Smasher is underpowered anyway.

Can we add dpm to all t8+ meds

karmic portal
#

I don’t think the panther or the panther 2 are op. They are strong, but so are a ton of other tanks. I’d rather have them nerfed first than the panthers. And I swear y’all give heavy tanks a huge pass. No one talks about tanks like the t29 but as soon as one medium/light tank is good y’all are like nerf nerf

Thing is wargaming likely never has and never will care about anything people say here so this is all meaningless. The opinions of 20ish people are irrelevant to wargaming’s plans

coarse harness
#

Dpm is literally all most T7 meds has

distant river
#

Two pics showing the panther using exactly 1 (one) degree of gun depression and a tiny bit of angle. This is a very bad scenario for the panther when it has 6° and it's tall enough to use lots of spots. Very little differences between pictures apart from the aiming circle of the generic 122mm gun. The pic with the smallest circle shows it fully aimed. This will never happen. The pic with the bigger circle shows it after ~a second of aiming (I couldn't get a screenshot instantly). Its gigantic and if you think this will hit the lower plate reliably you need help. The panther is easily fast enough to keep moving and it assumes the red can aim exactly at the lower plate. Its very good armour.

I think your 14 battles in the last 90 days have caused you to lose a large amount of knowledge about this game. 🤔

And can people please stop assuming that because we are talking about one tank it means we think all others are balanced. That's just stupid isn't it???

You would probably take the shot because it's the best you will get but you wouldn't expect it to go in

full token
#

@karmic portal People do talk about the T29 here and elsewhere

deft owl
#

@plush perch Armor of Panther is still bad. Its not really that good that those guys are overexaggerating. Those guys claim panther is overbuffed when Smasher is still in this game. They dont want their precious op premiums to matched with tech tree tanks. That it.

@winged barn Dracula Apcr will go through the whole front armor.

unique scaffold
#

And when it does switch to APCR it’s dpm will go down drastically allowing panther to outrade it or just angle and it’s APCR will struggle to pen

plush perch
#

well , kinda agree and disaggre , panther is fine as it is imo not underpowered nor op

meager spruce
#

leave panther alone

distant river
#

You use APCR and you have an 800 dpm disadvantage. Good luck?

And go back and read the bit where I said not to incorrectly and stupidly assume that we think all other tanks are balanced. That is just a pathetic "defense".

Drac also happens to have the 3rd best med prammo pen at tier 7 so it's a bit of a special case that shouldn't be taken into account when balancing, just like you don't say the tiger p has bad armour because the panthers AP can go through the upper plate with CS.

The heavy buffs didn’t fit well with the premium ammo damage reduction

turbid smelt
#

Isnt having a heavy armor is point of e50m line? e50m has also same armor but no one complains
@plush perch yea but e50m doesn't have as good gun while being top of the line tonk

e50ms lower plate is also massive

you can penetrate e50ms upperplate with gold of meds

issue with panther isn't that it has e50m level of armour at its tier but its accuracy and dpm relates to t62a while having grille level of penetration for its tier

you get alot more toys to play with in current version of panther

ye but e50m upper plate is immune to prammo unlike panther , plus better sides

I agree that is4 needs a nerf, it has to much armour for such a small tank

@frosty oriole yeah skilled ppl rarely use missile, while noobs do that all the time. You push a missile spammer who scored damage like a pro, he turns into his true noob form and die.
But missile need to be removed or re balance, like, you need line of sight and pointing the gun to guide the rocket.
Giving white winrate newbies tools to easily destroy the veterans while hidden behide covers is not how you increase the playerbase's skills.

whoever is responsible for MM balance.. Fix this SH*T cause I literally lose my mind. every day. I got way more screenshots of various match-ups. I disagree with you, Dear. as u can see, me only 60er is not able to carry that many imbeciles. I focus on t57 atm if we speak about Tier X and do well above 2k It's been mathematically proven by Armored pantz, you won't lie that 1 person is able to carry such a team against reds with these stats. It is impossible @turbid smelt And how my dude am I able to do anything if those deadbrain meds do not even spot but instead, stay in bush ? and when vickers did get our back, I could do literally nothing. gl if other vickers and e50m have hi-ground and got into corner earlier due to meds not holding that flank nor even spotting. Not to mention their turrets ya know /shrug It's not 62a for snaps it's t57 well it is possible. I've seen so many times NOID or gna failing on the start, recently kicked Fizzy's a s s so yeah. yesterday so such things happen, every1 can fail. I didn't spam any chat, stop assuming things that had no place, all I was able to do was hold those hulldown reds, nothing else.

It is not about how many times I get it, it is about when I actually do, it frustrates me that much I stop playing for like 3 h at it's best. hope u understand. The frustration that comes from people who rather learn the basics, rush into tier X without any clue how to fulfill ur role but rather, rush, yolo ( 40er ) and blame ur team, insulting from cancer-kids. He was in a td so I assume that bot, all he does is camping in tds throughout his blitz history. his teams are losing yes, but he farms dmg ?? if we can even call it like that. It's quite common on EU. I wouldn't cry if those mocks would at least get a brief of terminology or basic gameplay, do you imagine frontline auf ?? yeah, I don't yet we got to face em in our teams just to hear not so long after, " bots, campers, camp more f*ckers " that is the most frustrating, In the end u check them up and see " ohh.. 40er..

@coarse harness Leopard 1 has no purpose in blitz when T62a literally has better gun handlings.

turbid smelt
#

i kinda agree

62a gun outright flips finger at leopard 1

62 may not be as flexible in mobility or gun depression department but it can play more roles

unique scaffold
#

I disagree , and agree on the gun handling the leopard is a bit of a niche tank where it has great stats but its not well suited to one role instead its the definition of flexbility and can perform various roles from chasing brawling when needed sniping and flanking. Leopard is also advertised as the ultimate sniping tank when its partially true 140 t62A and grille have lower aim times and on par soft stats now it wouldnt really hurt to make leopards gun more accurate and stable since its already limited by its big profile and lack of armor while the 140 and 62A and grille have their own traits which make them special

sudden path
#

Ok, how many patches is it going to take for us to get a cr nerf? Just nerf the gun mantlet and the dispersion factors and the tanks balanced

meager spruce
#

T62A needs a slight nerf, I would suggest making the cupola a tad bit larger or a tad bit weaker, and nerfing the reload of the 62A just a little so that obj 140 gets a slightly better gun. Leopard 1 can def get an aiming time buff/bloom nerf

heavy mesa
#

No. 140 has been better before, now it’s T-62As turn @meager spruce

plush perch
#

according to devs answers T62A does not need any nerfs , in fact it is performing worse than fatton

fiery dagger
#

It was just favoured over the T62 due to the lower gun depression. Now the 140 is kind of pointless not due to being bad, but being kind of indifferent from, still lacking a bit behind the T62 in most stats. The slight advantages it has is the AP standard shell, and a slightly, very slightly better hull armour, with a little more top speed.

I literally don't know what more you could want for accuracy, unless you want to have literally 0 rng on it

Can I just ask why WZ has 2 ussles guns to unlock which are 42k and 59k before you get a top gun? While every other medium tank only has to go trough 1 ussles gun before reaching top gun and those guns don't requier 59k xp? Who at Wg thought that it was fun to make it like that and why can't I use a derp gun from T-34-2 in WZ-120? Honestly WG is so strange. Why punish people for going to the line that not many people play. At least allow derp gun. Not a single gun other then that is worth playing for fun on that tank or T-34-2.

I think the Jagpanzer E 100 is honestly well balanced right now.

@nimble zodiac M4 45 could use the armor buff, it has nothing going for it. At the very least it should be a hull down heavy.

karmic steeple

@nimble zodiac I think you overestimate the dpm reduction of pramo. Sure it does but it’s still a decent amount of damage and if you are in a situation where you actually need dpm you’re more than likely brawling and that means getting to ppls sides and rears so you won’t need pramo

The heavy HP buffs are an issue, they’d only be balanced if they got nerfed back or premium had full damage

Oh I'm aware, but it still holds up to some shells, also please don't make this a press 2 to win

Imagine talking about the amx M4 45 without mentioning the vk45.03 :(

Basically the same tank but amx is faster and it's turret can occasionally bounce but it pays with weak sides

I didn't mention that because I was looking at the turret armour thinking it was hull armour lmao I was so confused I thought it was super easy to HE 😂

At least VK has more solid sides, 80mm over 40mm, and a bit more solid of a turret, but I'll disregard that comparison because both are easy to penetrate

I think both will need something

How about we stop demanding armor buffs? This game went to hell with it. Tiger I and II are completly over buffed. Pathers are over buffed and jagpanther I. Jagtiger front armor is so OP right now that even my T30 gold ammo cant pen upper hull plate. WG has to stop buffing tanks armor and leaving dpm untouched. They fked up so hard with Smasher so they had to ruin well balanced tanks to mask their mistakes. I played Panther before the buffs and had aces and tank was fine but armor buffs that they gave to it were complete bs. If you buff armor demolish dpm. That's how things should be. All newly buffed German tanks are big stupid armored boxes that don't lack accurecy nor dpm. And for tier X heavy tanks hp buffs. They shouldn't have buffed them but nerf all meds acros the board. Years of heavy tanks being well balanced ruined because they just kept over buffing medium tanks. Pls now give Chineze medium tanks 10 degree of gun dipression because that's the only thing they lack now and they are meds. And btw how I say to nerf T92 and Sheridan is to reduce their gun dipression to 5 so they can't so esealy work the ridge and still be eable to use rockets effectivly when they can't poke and slam you with 600 damage because it always high rolls. there's just too many messed up things right now. But pls no more armor buffs. Stop with that. People don't demand for that anymore.

Edit: They refuse to gut missles so take away something else from the tank. And I find dipression as beign the biggest problem after the missels.

I guess you didn't play T30 much then because I got 400 games on T30 with 60% win rate so I got my opinion to tell. And you dont understand how big jagtiger armor buffs were.

So the Sheridan and T92 use a missile and bypass the dispersion nerf. Well thought out...

If you can’t pen with t30 gold ammo something tells me your not to be taken for word and nerfing meds is the opposite of what we want the games been heavy meta for years and mediums introduce a new fresh breath of air

@lunar niche the armor was fine before the buff.
Let's take a look at another tier 9 td that has been severely powercrept.
Tortoise
Less dpm
Less alpha
Less armor
Less speed

At least the smasher and type 62 can still pen things in tier 7...
Many tanks cannot anymore. And good luck flanking a tiger1 with the mobility it has

*laughs in 4->5

Lol and if someone is gonna bring in the smasher, it has to spam HEAT to pen other tier 7s now, they all(near enough) had stupid armour buffs so smasher isn’t broken as people say it is, maybe it would’ve been broken before the buffs but now it’s only OP

The gap between tier 6 and tier 7 is really horrible, it’s even worse than the gap between 7 and 8

Stop ruining the game, and they keep making possible tech trees into collectors

Um, no it’s not. What are you gonna do with 140mm AP, even 175mm pen is considered low for tier 7. Poor depression for a tall tank too, meaning it really struggles in hugging other tanks

M8 175 pen is workable in tier 8 (is6)

I wouldn't really call Jagdtiger's old armour profile fine. That was the same hull as the old Tiger 2 which was definately not fine.

winged barn
#

Ah yes. I suppose the 2nd highest dpm with 460 alpha and great pen is not fine.

lunar niche
#

If that alone was fine then Tortoise would have been a lot better then it is currently.

I mean it has 20/20 gun arc with -10 gun depression and 3700 dpm but it is still underwhelming.

We could argue that the armour buffs to Jagdtiger was to keep it in line with Jageru as it can frontline somewhat now.

candid steeple

It seems that people dont get it still. High dpm + high armor values result in something that can sidscrape in teamfight and is good 1v1. Those 2 things should never work together on one tank. Put it as example. IS-4 has great armor but alright dpm and exceeds in holding positions in teamfight whereas it gets trashed in 1v1 against WZ-113 and FV. But WZ and FV are trash in teamfight if not positioned well because they can't sidscrape but they got an OP dpm. You cant give tank a dpm and armor at the same time. It completly ruines what type of skill and nolage you gota have to drive that tank. And you remove a good chunk of counterplay to that tank.

Tortoise is genuinely awesome, I don’t get it why everybody thinks it’s trash. When I play it I go with the heavies and stick around corners all the time, always jiggling. The 183 is indeed a complete departure from the play style of the rest of the tree, but found moderate success playing the 183 a bit like an ambush tank. I go with the heavy tanks at the start of the game and when I suspect that there might be flankers I turn in to that direction and scare them off with my big gun and the support of the heavy tanks I’m in close proximity of

candid steeple

Because they don't like positioning themselves. Same as T28 Proto. Everyone says how bad that td is tho I enjoyed playing it maxed. Hell no, not the unmaxed one xd

Anyways the Tortoise leads to the 183. It doesn’t need to be good. Arguably the worst tech tree line leading to what has been for around fourteen (I think) updates the worst T10 by far gets the people grinding it used to be farmed and count as free damage. The Tortoise can stay as it is.

forest heath
#

the armor on the predator UM definitely needs a buff as well as a penetration buff
Players have to deal with the atrocious lack of gun depression limiting already where they can go on the map, increasing the frontal armor from 130 to 150mm and increase the thickness of the front vision ports from 75 mm to 95mm and the penetration from 165mm to 173mm base AP also improve dispersion on the gun. I had to deal with missing 2 out of 3 shots missing completely from a stationary target. The fact that it sees tier VIII is criminal.
It’s a tank that has the size and speed of a super heavy tank, but the armor and penetration of a medium tank. I love the tank esthetics and how it played when first introduced. It’s just been power creeped to uselessness. I’m tired of being yelled at because I’m forced to remain at the back as a heavy tank in tier VIII battles

winged barn
#

Armor is fine, as long as it does not have the speed of a medium. We got tigers and panthers zooming around while almost being able to completely ignore lower tiers. The guns they have is a brilliant addition.

candid steeple
#

@forest heath I mind you but can you mention a single heavy tank tier VII that can go against lvl VIII without being premium tank? T29 is the only one since the turret but people suck at playing that tank god knows why. I do 3k damage and its an ace. Even buffed tiger I cant go front line. And we wont talk about KV-3 being only good in lower tiers. Difference between tier VII and VI is too great that buffing any armor results tanks being unpenetretable by tier VI.

Edit: I see T28 proto weakness being more to other TDs having way too good dpm and pen for it's tier.

Can we talk about AMX AC 48? Having trash armor with that big turret at the back that everyone can see and pen. Dpm is 2200 while Jagpanther II and ISU-152 got 2700 dpm even though guns are way higher calibers. T28 proto and T28 got dpm of 2700 same as ISU-152 but alpha gun is 400 damage. Higher alpha guns should have lower dpm then lower alpha guns. But in tier VIII its not the case. German and soviet tanks have far easier time doing damage then other nations since they got higher dpm and higher alpha. Nah theres nothing wrong about it.

turbid smelt
#

Because they don't like positioning themselves. Same as T28 Proto. Everyone says how bad that td is tho I enjoyed playing it maxed. Hell no, not the unmaxed one xd
@candid steeple
T28 proto is quite bad, it loses mobility, armour, camo rating and fully rotational turrent for a gun
that isn't even that good or "worth it" to be able to compensate for the rest lacking features

forest heath
#

It’s not just tier VIII, the front armor of the predator UM can’t even stop tier VI light rounds. All tier VII heavy tanks have either great armor or a high pen, high dpm gun with gun depression. The Predator UM is bigger than an E100 and no gun depression with paper sides. It wouldn’t be so bad if I at least could consistently penetrate my targets larger than tier VI light tanks and could rely on my front armor like it could when it was first introduced in the game. The difference between the predator UM and every other tier VII heavy tank is that they can pen most tier VIII heavy tanks frontally with gold ammunition. The predator CANNOT

forest heath
#

All tier VII heavy tanks received a buff, the predator UM received none

candid steeple
#

In my opinion not a single tier VII tank needed a buff. But they did that because of the Smasher. Predator is a premium and if they accidentaly make it OP they cant nerf it back because its their bad policy. So I don't want to see any premium tank buffed.

The predator isn’t a premium anymore, it a collector tank and they do change those

They don’t need turret armor buffs. Something like a gun buff or a mobility buff can do.

No gun buff that's the point of heshI'd personally like a small buff to the turret on fv4202 not enough to make it op but like 20mm so that it could get the occasional bounce on bad shots

compact nymph

Top speed buff as an example. The Centurions crawl at 40kmph and the 4202 is stuck at 50. I’d say give both centurions 50kmph top speed and maybe 55-56 for the T10.

the gun itself were good, no need buff
centurion average mobility not so matter since heavy weight

what i suggest is slight buff on hull front armor for centurion
may turret roof too

rework for 4202 turret armor this is what many people deemed since 6.2 update came, its seems pointless already having cupola and easy penetrable front turret armor even when hulldown

forest heath
#

@candid steeple if they just change the aspects I suggest it won’t be OP, the penetration of the gun has just been scaled up to standards similar to other heavy tanks of the same tier, and the frontal armor would still be less than what the tiger 1 currently has. I don’t want them to increase the gun depression or side and rear armor

This is a bunch of medium tanks drivers complaining about heavies. Heavies didnt need a buf nor a nerf. I just found medium tanks overperforming heavies in everything except sidscraping. Heavy tanks are way to slow for the meta that WG made with buffing mediums because they were supposedly "weak". Everything new that they released is fast now.

They gave Foch 155 a 155mm autoloader gun and entier community started crying since it was destroying medium tanks at their flanks. I miss it so much. Now it's just another tank at the ussles pile which noone drives. Again. At least they could buff dpm on its non autoloading gun. 500 damage autoloading 2 shot gun is pretty ussles. HE got a massive nerf with that change.

remote oriole
#

@candid steeple The performance stats don’t support your claim that mediums were overperforming. Also, mediums don’t have heavy frontal armour (they didn’t change anything about that). On top, they nerfed first and foremost the damage of the Foch 155 because it was literally destroying tanks with one clip and just had too much clip potential for the combination of armour and mobility. It was not only destroying mediums, but also heavies and tds and was just overall op. Oh and by the way, it’s still one of the strongest td out there

Foch 155 is strong yeah, but it still has many "idiot" weakspots that for some reason everyone at every angle at every range can pen

fiery dagger
#

Can you name one of those idiot weakspots which everyone can pen from every range, i'm skeptical?

last shadow
#

Well... from my experience

The lower plate (it is red for meds and alike) but everyone can pen it apparently at any range

Feels like there's a magnet with armor weakening inside

The tracks (the armor behind the tracks feels like 20mm) so if u shoot the front track wheel at any angle it will pen, track and deal dmg (I personally hate this the most)

The gumantle (it is very think) but for some reason (and I looked it up in armor inspector) random shots will pen it front on like its butter

(Even worse when u angle. It becomes extremely thin)

So in general if u angle just a little bit they will pen ur gun/tracks and if u don't they will pen ur upper or lower plate (all of course bs, cuz u cant pen the upper IN THEORY)

This is all my personal experience from playing it and playing against it
I never bounced its lower at any range (with meds)
And yeah the gun is not reliable to pen but extremely annoying when it happens

unique scaffold
#

The front lower plate is the most annoying one to hit since it’s small and majority your just gonna bounce and at any range Everybody is just gonna load prammo the front drive wheel is of course a weak spot the mantlet is not a reliable pen at all

last shadow
#

But yeah
I said it above
I feel like every shell that is fired at me hits the lower
The gun 1 is extremely annoying sometimes
And the upper still feels like 240mm even tho it should be 270-290mm (armor inspector)
Always feels like the meds that shoot at me get 120% pen all the time
But yeah thats just me
Still my absolute favourite tank in the game

Sometimes u bounce 183, 268 and jageroo shells head on on other times a stock CR pens your upper...

jagged crescent
#

TDs usually go straight through

fiery dagger
#

That's definitely just you. The foch's armour profile is one of the most unreliable to pen without prammo if you're not in a td.

The lower plate quite is small tho. Any gun from a distance has more than satisfactory chance to miss. The Mg turret has like ONE extra small square under 300+ effective, as well as the viewport is an RNG gamble to hit exactly center mass from even a smaller distance. @autumn zodiac

@plush perch also status you provided are players with 55-65% winrate, take in consideration that most players who play the patton aren’t comp players because comp players usually do not play a patton instead they will choose something like the stb1 over the patton all day everyday. With the average winrate of players in the servers below 50%, status you provided does not reflect the average player base’s performance of the patton.

plush perch

imagine having over 50% winrate why have i done this to myself

tender sandal
#

It’s really the mobility and the huge profile that makes the patton really bad, it has arguably the worst tier x medium tanks gun, with majority of other similar characteristic meds getting laser beam guns and getting buffed left and right, patton is just forgotten there, tanks similar to it like stb1 and amx 30 b has things going for them that the patton just don’t, both has laser beam guns, great turrets, not really the 30b but it can still work, 30bs really fast, stb is much faster than the patton too, both are smaller targets than the patton and has an extra more degree of gun depression, there is 0 thing going for the patton besides that side hull armor that makes it good at brawling, but again Russian media are far more superior, with more accuracy and dpm than the patton at brawling too. View range I guess is the only thing going for the patton but then again Patton’s camo rating is not the greatest and it also has that huge profile......

@tender sandal Blitz Stars has an incomplete player data-base. Aside from that, it does not correct shifts in the average winrate of the player population. That means that a lower winrate can be caused just by the fact that more low skill players play the tank. BlitzStars actually provides a method to check that with the graphs.

I don’t want to send images here because it’s a pain with Discord’s limitations and the slowmode (I probably will anyways later), but here’s another source with an incomplete player data-base: https://blitzanalysiz.com/update/7.1/tanks/10/medium-tanks/ (7.1 stats)

This source suggests that the Patton is neither the tank with the worst relative nor the worst absolute winrate, but the worst absolute average damage (though keep in mind, mostly worse players play it than other tanks)

If you look at the BlitzStar graphs you will realise that the light red and orange marked areas are slightly moved to the left and right. Left means that more bad players play the tank and right means that more good players play the tank. If you want to see an extreme for a tank with a worse than average (for mediums) playerbase, go no further than the Patton. For a tank with an exceptionally high skilled playerbase, take a look at the STB-1. This is altering the tanks stats immensely.

And that’s where we get to my conclusion: the M48 Patton isn’t bad, people are just talking it bad (and the STB-1 good). We have a case of a self-fulfilling prophecy here where people dodge and shame the M48 Patton on limited statistical grounds for a supposedly better tank like the STB-1. Note: I’m not saying that the Patton is as strong as the STB-1. I’m just saying that the difference is smaller than you want to believe

dark glen

I’m sorry, but using high WR players as reference is better because those players at least use their tank like it should be used. And 55% isn’t really a “comp player” either. As a matter of fact, a lot of “comp players” are above 65%. Tanks like the leopard 1 and RU would receive buffs it doesn’t need because the avg player underperforms in them while the better players using the tanks to their fullest actually get the same results in them as they get in other tanks (roughly speaking ofc). Looking at both sides of the spectrum needs to be done sure, but the skill ceiling also can’t be too high. This makes some tanks worse for the “weaker” players, but that’s not bad, it’s good. Some tanks just are harder to play than the others.

PS using blitzstars for stats is kinda flawed since it doesn’t have the full playerbase to rely on. There are some people that have acces to a database with a lot more followed accounts than blitzstars. It’s more an Indication of something, no proof.

it isn't completely better than action x, just slightly better

for that slightly better turrent centurion defender loses hull armour...

nocturne mauve
#

That doesn’t matter if it’s gonna be a hulldown tank anyway

That turret is absolutely better, even the spaced armour of is thicker for some reason. Smaller cupola and shorter turret plus mantlet

turbid smelt
#

What is the point of mantlet if the armour behind is non existent and mantlet is just as thick as action x front turrent armour around gun....

now u know

t62 a has similar type of weakspot

and so does the chimera

there is no armour behind mantlet, but I am quite willing to test if it could be penned with gold

nocturne mauve
#

Never seen someone get penned through there and even if it’s just as effective as the Action X. It’s a medium

remote oriole
#

Because most prammo rounds are HEAT and there is space behind the mantlet which will drop the heat pen to zero before it reaches the main armour

scarlet fjord

Wargaming Chimera is BROKEN
fix that BS tank

turbid smelt
#

if wg would introduce different consumables to other nations then this chimera thingy is quite easy to clap

just like centurion defender, there is no space between primary armour and mantlet as well as primary armour behind mantlet is non existent

it is quite slow medium but not as awful as super pershing and it has damage reducing consumable

wow... discord noe has new bug not letting me post screenshot... wait for 10min,I'll post stupid ez pen weakspot of chimera

That tank is OP because of consumable

turbid smelt
#

here it is
206mm gun mantlet
completely flat
begging to be shot at

best part is that gun mantlet moves with elevation and depression of gun in way that it always appears flat to enemies' gun

tank is only really effective against low tier meds

I kinda stopped getting annoyed as devs are willing to move blitz in that direction where tank can have some special ability for 15 to 30 seconds

kinda similar to med gemes just a knock off version of it

it is unique to tier 8 maybe
but tier x had it for a while

Chimera is so busted, 71% wr with over 100 battles in it, just take enhanced sandbag armor, pop it on you can pretty much in every 1 on one engagement especially against meds and lights. 440 alpha is another thing, it has better alpha than pretty much all tier 8 heavies, and some tier 9 heavies even, with a heavium armor and mobility.

nocturne mauve

For certain tanks then yes they need it

sudden path

Yeah um chimera is like a Patton that actually is good at all the roles it can perform. The chimera is an effective med brawler with reactive armor and troll side armor, a potent long range weapon with good dispersion and reticle calibration, and a decent hull down tank that can get some bounces from the turret. The fact that it can do so many things well means that it's super effective in pubs where you might need to perform a different role for your team than your tanks main role, and the chimera is capable of doing that. Unlike the chimera, the patton is ok in a lot of the same areas as the chimera, but having average alpha really hurts while the chimera has almost 2 shots of med alpha in 1 shot
The only tanks that have higher alpha than the chimera are the german superheavies, and certain tds, and they cant even come close to the versatility of the chimera

heavy mesa

VK has 460 alpha

Considering the mantlet is literally the only protection it has, having a mantlet that falls against guns with 210mm of pen (when aimed at the middle) is really disappointing

latent snow

You could probably hit that if the tank is stationary, but you would never be able to hit that weak spot on purpose when he is moving or you have a short time to aim.

tender sandal
#

Thing is you not supposed to play the tank like a proper hull down heavy, you find a ridge you poke up after you’re reloaded and shoot and with the minimum time you’re turret is exposed, it’s a small chance you are going to get pend, enemy has either to get lucky or just really good at aiming to have that reaction time if you are not like face to face with them. It has good enough accuracy to trade in mid distance. It has all around characteristics, gun depression, armor, speed, and the gun really shines in the alpha it has, plus the special consumables it gets, it is so busted.

Nah leave it how it is, it's a very nice tank now. Buffing the camo makes it more campy which makes games worse for everyone else, and the gun angles are part of the tank and what makes it a challenge to play.

I dont know you guys, but i go for the turret because i dont know why i get pranked by cr's rear, i mean every time i shoot HE at it i deal +-200 damage or hit the tracks and that doesnt happen when i do the same to vickers light (i use vickers light with CS)

All that line is about having armor and being useless until you reach tier ten and trade all armor for the biggest gun in the game

@unique scaffold The AT2 has an awful gun and awful mobility. It teaches you to aim for the hatch and choose priority targets which is brilliant

many comments lately regarding the use of BOTS in battles. Are there times when BOTS are inserted if there are not enough live players ready to battle? I was under the impression that BOTS have never been inserted and never will. Can you confirm this nasty commentary going around? Thanks

dense walrus
#

"bots" is a common insult to unskilled players, but actual AI players are used in "newbie matchmaking" at lower tiers for players under a certain amount of battles.
https://na.wotblitz.com/en/news/updates/update-5-3/

With Update 5.3, after completing the battle tutorial, newcomers will play mixed-type battles for some time. In these battles, bots fight instead of some players. Gradually, the number of players in mixed-type battles will increase, bots will become stronger, and their number will reduce. Thus, mixed-type battles will smoothly change into regular battles.

Probably because ho ri has better mobility and is less of a huge target the Conway is ho-ri already has one of the best if not the best penetration ingame would you wanna give it 600 alpha aswell

stone vapor

I'm not asking for a buff though it would be nice and they could just rework the conways 2nd gun like if they lowered its alpha to 530 or 540 and made its reload shorter to like 12 or 11 seconds since it has the reload of a 15cm rather than a 5.5 inch it would be really nice and it would be one of the few tanks with a gun like that and as for the chi-ri id prefer it have a 600 or hell even a 590 (like the Foch if im correct) just not a 560 cause it's really annoying that I can shoot at something and be like hey imma wipe this tank but instead you hit for 460

The gun isn’t the worst. the armor isn’t the worst neither. It requires different thinking than other german superheavies. and people struggle to think, even more if it’s in a different way. The tank def isn’t suited for tournaments, but it’s pretty usable in pubs.

it's literally the e100 gun with better aiming time and more or less the same dpm. Mobility is surprisingly good for a superheavy. And like the other superheavies, it's a good armor profile for those who know how to use it.
It's not an orthodox tank.

winged barn

But it isn't noobproof, therefore it needs a buff.
The maus used to take some skill. Now you can just yolo

It’s usable. Just not a tournament tank, and considering how bad it sounds when you talk about it I suspect a player issue more than a tank issue @muted rampart

fiery dagger

Lol, the lower plate is literally the strongest in T10 against non prammo rounds. The cupola is extremely small with auto-bounce angles. The turret is paper? Then the E100's and Maus's as well. You can move the gun mantlet to bait shots, you know. And one seconds more reload if both equipped***

No need to exaggerate just cause you want to reflect bad light at the tank which requires a bit of brains to play.

Please insert in your head the fact that if you play this tank like other german superheavies you are doing it wrong. Reading your comments here I know between the tank and the player who is the worst out of the 2.

Pure dpm for an autoloader is a bit if a useless stat because you will almost always have a clip of some sort before your engagement, but then there isn't really a good way of measuring it at all. First minute dpm works better I think but is a nightmare to workout lol

drowsy idol
#

how do you get the vehicles i’ve seen many ppl with it

winged barn
#

You sell your soul to blitz

drifting depot
#

I'm pretty sure dpm is only measured as if you never had a shell or a clip before a fight, so if an autoloader has 3000 dpm without counting the already loaded clip then you could add all your potential damage to that number, like the average autoloader with 1200 clip potential would have 4200 dpm

coarse harness
#

I guess you forgot the intraclip reload

jagged crescent
#

1200 dmg in 6 seconds

  • 400 for every 11 seconds if I recall
remote oriole
#

Dpm is calculated by pretending that you continuously deal damage. You don't get any free damage at the start (which you would if you were loaded).

There are two ways of calculating it, and ultimately only the order is different.
Either you calculate how often you shoot per minute by dividing 60 seconds by the reload and then multiply it with the alpha
or you calculate the damage per second or per decisecond by dividing the alpha by the reload and then multiply it with 60 to get the dpm

What you are talking about is what I tend to call the first-shot advantage that applies to derp guns and auto(re)loaders. It basically means that in a dpm engagement those tanks get to deal a lot more damage than the enemy and thus get an advantage just by that first trade before they get into the actual dpm duel (an actual dpm duel always starts with both guns empty).
One should also consider that although one gun has higher alpha it can still take the same amount of shots on average to take out an enemy which would diminish the first-shot advantage

Pure DPM is a pretty useful stat on autoloaders, because it gives a good idea of what the skill ceiling is on the tank. You may not feel the effects as drastically as you would on a single shooter, but anyone who's played a low DPM autoloader compared to a high DPM autoloader can tell you that over time, you can certainly feel the difference

It should have just been replaced with the actually useful Badger, and so the whole line could have been buffed, and either converted into a collector's vehicle, or made akin to the T62 - obj140 case, and put besides the Fv4005 as another researchable vehicle with the same RNG dependent stats it has.

@nocturne mauve Wdym bad, the tank is totally amazing, literally invincible in hulldown and facehugs. And even the lower plate can bounce at flat ground if you wiggle, which you can with your actually armoured sides unlike the E3, and the gun with 10° dep feels amazingly comfortable. And it's not even that slow. It's true that it requires immense map knowledge tho.

Sta-1 has a sluggish reload and is slow overall so some armor would make the tank much better for battle

If it seems absolutely overpowered, note that they both have big cupolas to aim at.

The aiming mechanics for mobile and pc should be comparable. So many people pad their stats by playing on pc. There should either be an auto aim mechanic for mobile or it should be removed from the pc platform.

distant river
#

There, errr, is autoaim on mobile... And it's more useful than PC autoaim because you can hit weakspots or just use it to track targets...?

still maple
#

The auto tracking is very different than auto aim. If you are no scoping at very close range against a light tank and the aiming circle is completely within the tank. You still miss more often than not. Missiles aren’t bad when the person has to aim them in from a mobile device. But auto aiming them in while moving with pc is not fair. The people I know that use both mobile and pc to play different accounts have about a 10% better win rate with pc and do far more damage.

distant river
#

So basically the server lag makes you miss? Same with both autoaim systems. Solution? Don't rely on autoaim. PC cannot use autoaim with missiles idk what you are talking about there. And I think that 10% figures is completely and utterly made up, I'd love to see some proof otherwise but that seems extremely unlikely.

remote oriole
#

The autoaim on mobile does not automatically track weakspots and tracks. You still have to manually aim at them and then it won’t even lock onto the specific part but only a point on a rectangle that is projected in front of their tank. You will still be more accurate if you manually aim all the way by the way, which is substantially harder on mobile than on PC

nocturne mauve
#

And old auto aim version is better than new one

distant river
#

With PC autoaim you get no choices whatsoever, with mobile you can do exactly the same as PC by just letting it follow the target, or you can aim at a weakspot and it will lead that spot. PC has nothing like that apart from manual aim. You will always be more accurate manually aiming and it's easier to get used to on PC but you can do exactly the same on both platforms

unique scaffold
#

And you can't autoaim missiles on PC 🤦‍♂️

#

I highly recommend that you do your research before committing to a line of thought. @still maple

remote oriole
#

@distant river No, you can’t. Firstly, mobile autoaim does not aim at the centre of the tank. Secondly, only the new mobile autoaim leads your shots but if you use that you can’t make last minute snapshots on your target because it will lead the shot right into the cover the enemy is about to disappear behind. Thirdly, you have to actually look at the target on mobile.

About leading the shot into the weakspot, once you are at a sufficient distance to actually hit the weakspot reliably you won’t have to lead it. On top of that the mobile autoaim doesn’t allow you to pre-aim anything, so you either have to turn it manually off everytime you don’t need it or you can reserve one of the two aiming modes (sniper or third person) for that. And as I said, autoaim is not exactly the most accurate tool so if you can you want to aim at the weakspots manually

pc client only has advantage of manual zooming and bigger screen over touch client

aim assist on touch is very handy, it attempts to follow target wherever your reticle was aiming at
which allows for minor adjustments
thanks to that player doesn't need to be super focused on attempting to track weakspots yourself and focus more on tactical part of game.

Pc autoaim is quite useless, it always attempts to aim at com
and doesn't allow for any minor adjustments
this isn't very useful unless you need assistance shooting someone's rear

pc manual zoom on the other hand allows to almost perfectly pre aim in possible direction of enemy while being able to adjust zoom
this makes setting up ambush way easier than touch client

where you only get to zoom once something is spotted and you are looking in its direction, this causes weird zoom in zoom outs if you turn off aim assist or it causes gun bloom to increase as aim assist and too quick zooming kicks in

Also no scoping on mobile isn’t exactly where your shot will land because you are viewing it from a different angle. Aiming mechanics should be adjusted so that the shot lands in the aiming circle regardless of which way you choose to aim.

@distant river I don’t know where you get this impression from that you don’t need to aim on mobile. The mobile auto-aim is only as good as your manual aim (and it also has some awkward sides you need to work around for maximum efficiency) and as we already established; manual aim is less accurate and harder on mobile than on PC. Aiming centre mass is useful if you aim at weak targets such as the side of enemies or scouts, especially when you need to concentrate on driving, something that is nigh impossible on mobile, even with the lookout bar (ever wondered why most people stop when they shoot missiles with the lookout bar on mobile?).
Preaiming by turning it off only puts one more step you have to do into your way which hinders quick adjustments because you first have to turn it on or off before you can use it in the mode you prefer in the new situation. Locking onto a weakspot is kind of difficult since you literally preaim because you can’t see the enemy so you have to use your judgement to guess how the enemy is facing you and how it looks to make a good shot (lots of guesswork here). On top of that, if you lock on to pre-aim you literally lose the advantage of pre-aiming, which is that you are stationary and aimed in while the enemy is moving.

Mobile autoaim cannot do everything the PC autoaim can do. Mobile autoaim isn’t even really an autoaim but more of an auto-track that only assists your manual aiming, but doesn’t replace it.

distant river
#

PC autoaim can just track the centre of mass of a target, which really isn't useful if you want to do damage. Mobile autoaim can do exactly the same, if you just roughly aim at a target you will follow it. It can also track specific places on the target if you want it to. If you are calling mobile autoaim auto-track then what does that make PC autoaim? Like I said mobile autoaim can do everything PC autoaim can, but as well as tracking specific places on a tank. How easy it is to aim on platforms isn't a part of it, and is also down to personal preference really but PC is easier to pick up.

drifting depot
#

Oh it is really useful, when you're tryna circle a tank or just drive past and still see where you're going, knowing your reticle won't go out of the tank's hitbox if he turns slightly

remote oriole
#

You overstate the possibilities mobile-autoaim actually gives you and understate the possibilities PC autoaim gives you.

I for example use PC autoaim for fast close quarters manoeuvres where I need to concentrate more on driving than shooting and if I want to snap a fast shot on a weak target at a distance (because it gives me a higher chance of hitting in the first place).
I use mobile autoaim for snaps of all kinds but I try to avoid using it in close quarters because it’s kind of buggy when the enemy’s gun is pointed at you and you stand more or less next to him. I also don’t use it if I want to make secure shots. (It should be said however that I snap a lot more than I try to make secure shots).

If you play PC you will soon realise that mastery of PC lies in using manual aiming as often as possible and using autoaim only in exceptional situations. Mobile however is more of a mixed discipline where you need to learn how to use the autoaim to pull off all the snaps (that are strictly necessary if you play fast tanks that reload quickly) and you also need to learn how to manually aim to place the shots in the weakspots of the enemy (yes, you shouldn’t use autoaim for that, even on mobile).

PC is autoaim because it actually aims for you while mobile only tracks the last position you aimed at.

And as I said earlier, you can’t do everything PC autoaim can do with the same level of proficiency and the mobile autoaim depends a lot more on your personal skill at manual aiming than anything else

distant river
#

Mobile autoaim is used more because it can do so many more things, PC autoaim is literally useless if you want to hit a target so is rarely used except for tracking a target. On mobile you can aim once and then it will automatically aim for you, or you can just use it to track a tank.

On mobile you can track targets, just like on PC. You may not be able to shoot accurately when doing so, but that's the same for both. On mobile you can also use it to shoot targets reliably. Again manual aiming skill doesn't come into this, because this is about autoaim and how mobile provides more benefits than PC in that respect

coarse harness

Those benefits are pretty reasonable

nocturne mauve
#

Ah yes, switching things like shell type is really quick on PC

Isn’t PC aim better?

distant river
#

Again still not about the autoaim system...

remote oriole
#

The mobile autoaim is what it is because of the limitations that come with using two fingers as opposed to (at least) six and one hand (mouse movements)

distant river
#

Errr no, that's the limitations of the smaller screen not the autoaim system? The autoaim system on mobile is better and much more useful, but that is then affected by external factors which still do not change the fact that PC autoaim is pretty much useless.

You play on a tablet like on a phone, the size of the screen has nothing to do with the control mode

And autoaim on mobile is not used more because it can do more useful things, but because without it you lose the ability to drive, track the target and shoot (which you can do easily with a mouse). It’s literally a necessity. May I remind you that mobile and mobile autoaim were there before PC even got a chance to use this game and that the mobile autoaim does indeed not balance the undeniable advantages that come with PC but make playing on mobile at least somewhat comparable to what you can do on PC?

Mobile autoaim is not some kind of magical wonderpotion that allows you to suddenly shoot tracks and weakspots and whatnot with scary accuracy. Mobile autoaim simply picks up the bearing you have on the enemy tank. Now some people can say that that’s op and whatnot, but if you look at which platform is actually preferred by the best players around you’ll find that they are more likely to use a PC than a mobile device. Why is that despite the apparently stronger autoaim?

Because mobile doesn’t actually have an autoaim but an autotrack. And a special autotrack at that as well because it doesn’t track a point on the armour but a point on a screen in front of the enemy tank that always faces towards you. This means that you actually have to adjust your aim while driving around an enemy or while the enemy turns or moves, just like on PC. And snapshots aren’t more accurate either, as you just aim at the weakspot or enemy tank and then have to pull the trigger just like you aim at the weakspot or enemy tank and then pull the trigger straight away (so you don’t actually have to track it).

The only thing you really get extra is the convenience that you don’t have to relock onto the target when you pull out a second time, but that doesn’t improve your aim at all and if you can help it you should always manually aim in sniper mode at the weakspots, even on mobile.

Autoaim on mobile literally substitutes for the lack of input you can give at once and if you’d hypothetically implement it on PC the advice would be to only use it as an aide until you feel confident enough to manually aim all the time.

remote oriole
#

So, is the mobile autoaim better? No, because it only allows you to do things you can do without any help at all if you use the right control mode (or if you predict the enemy movements), while it fails at giving you what autoaim was meant to do, automatic aim at the target which allows you to concentrate at driving and shooting. If you want to do that on mobile you have to use the lookaround bar which has a different sensitivity and won’t even rotate you 360 degrees so you have to release it and pick it up again if you want to look in front of you which makes your camera turn half of the time, and you also have to release the lookout bar to fire which makes your camera turn again and if you ever tap next to the lookout bar it unlocks from the target and you can go throught the whole process of locking on it and turning your camera away with the lookout bar again (it’s basically not an option, but for the sake of argument I pretend like it is)

The mobile autoaim allows you to do things the PC autoaim cannot. Therefore it is better. You can talk as much as you like about other factors but that's still what you will end up with.

Imagine if PC got the option so that I stead of autoaiming at the centre of a tank it aimed at whichever part you were previously aiming at, just like mobile autoaim. It would be a big improvement for PC players. That is because mobile autoaim is much more adaptable and useful than PC autoaim, because it is better.

remote oriole
#

I already imagined that and came to the conclusion that the general advice would be the manually aim anyways, as it already is even for situations when the autoaim would be better suited than manually aiming

Just because mobile autoaim can do more things doesn’t mean that it’s better. PC autoaim can do things way better that are actually relevant for PC and autoaiming in general, while the mobile autoaim can only show extras that are completely unnecessary for PC because you can already do them fine without any need for assistance

Just gonna throw this out here it is a huge pain with mobile auto-aim to deal with multiple targets at once since whoever’s closest will continue to grab the lock on and won’t break off

distant river
#

It doesn't matter if people would say manually aim, it would still be an advantage because mobile autoaim is better...
PC autoaim can literally follow a target exactly the same as mobile, there is nothing it has over mobile autoaim. Until you go into the topic manual zoom which isn't really part of autoaim at all (but is still a huge advantage for PC), PC autoaim is worse in almost every single way.

The mobile autoaim relies on your manual aim so I think it’s fair to drag it into it

@distant river The skill dependency is a weakness of the mobile aiming system, amongst other things

low needle
#

@distant river no way PC autoaim is way more precise

turbid smelt
#

@low needle it only aims at center
which is generally super easy to that yourself on pc

its only use on pc is when you are circling something

mobile autoaim aim assist on the other hand is more versatile, it keeps gun in general direction of enemy so player can do minor adjustments and hit different part of tank way more comfortably, it also helps in setting up lead onto target as minor adjustments are the only thing required by player and it is also incredibly useful in dog fighting in pair with lookout area

mobile aim assist in pair with lookout area behaves almost like pc autoaim but you can lock onto different part of enemy tonk

distant river
#

@low needle You feeling ok? PC autoaim is literally useless except for getting your gun to follow a tank you can't shoot with it at all

@remote oriole You could say the skill dependency is the weakness of an op tank, it doesn't stop it being better than other tanks 🤷‍♀️

Pc autoaim let’s you miss more shots than it saves you effort tbh. Works vs paper tanks and when you are sidehugging while looking around and similar situations, but otherwise it really is a useless feature for the lazy.

#

Without autoaim/aim assist a PC vs mobile battle would be like a normal man vs a disabled one

remote oriole
#

@distant river No, if an op tank is skill dependent that means that it’s only op for a certain skill bracket (or multiple)

Mobile autoaim is the greatest help for someone who is good at predicting enemy movements and knows where the weakspots are, but someone with mobile autoaim will still be at most as accurate as someone with a comparable skill level using PC manual aim

As I said before, the lookout bar is difficult to use well and I don’t know anyone who uses it because it is not worth the effort; it doesn’t help you but just makes it worse. The only people who use the lookout bar regularly are missile tanks and they usually don’t move around a lot when doing so, let alone run through enemy positions or circling enemy tanks

distant river
#

I said better than others, which is unarguably true. Mobile autoaim gives you advantages PC does not. Some players are better at aiming on mobile, some are better on PC (not using autoaim). The mobile autoaim gives more advantages with basically no disadvantages. Therefore it is better no matter how you aim.

turbid smelt
#

@remote oriole yeah that's the thing
aim assist with lookout area doesn't have much use

and they both together work like a better version of pc autoaim

remote oriole
#

@turbid smelt You misunderstand me, I said that using mobile autoaim with the lookout bar is literally a pain because of the way you control it

@distant river Mobile autoaim does give disadvantages. In some areas it’s fairly buggy and it’s still less accurate than manual aiming. And PC autoaim does better what autoaim is supposed to do; simply aiming at the target for you without needing further input from you, in which the mobile autoaim is extremely bad and useless.
The only thing mobile autoaim really adds to the package is that you can select the point you aim at while it takes away the option to aim elsewhere without having to worry about the crosshair following you.

If you hypothetically use autoaim only and just point at the enemy and then enable autoaim you will have the same results on mobile as on PC, as you will more or less just shoot at the centre of the enemy tank

distant river
#

You can literally just roughly aim at the centre of a target using mobile autoaim and it's exactly the same as PC autoaim... Where's the disadvantage there? And the lookout bar isn't as hard to use as you make it out to be at all

remote oriole
#

Two fingers: One on the joystick, one on the lookout bar... who shoots? I mean, you could fire with the nose I suppose...

But anyways, as you noted yourself it is indeed roughly the same as the PC autoaim if you use the new version of the mobile autoaim. Thus your claim that the mobile autoaim is better no matter how you aim is incorrect

dark glen
#

Who plays mobile Using just 2 fingers :3

distant river
#

Its the same... if you just want to follow a tank. If you want to follow a weakspot the you must use mobile autoaim, which PC autoaim cannot compete with and so is inferior.
Also you can easily go off the lookout bar for a fraction of a second to shoot and back on easily

remote oriole
#

Mobile is inferior for just following a tank because you need to use the lookout bar, and for following weakspots you would be better off manually aiming since you want to be as accurate as possible, while autoaim is more useful for snapping

distant river
#

Using the lookout bar isn't impossible to do, nor is it hard. Its possible to consider this a disadvantage but it's a tiny one no matter which way you look at it. For following weakspots using autoaim mobile is by far better because PC has nothing that can vmeven compete with it apart from manually aiming every single shot without any help at all.

nocturne mauve
#

The lookout bar sometimes resets on its own while I’m using it, it’s frustrating

remote oriole
#

You first have to manually aim at the weakspot on mobile too, so you only really get an advantage once you shoot the weakspot a second time. Also, I’ve been using the lookout bar for quite a while now and can absolutely not confirm that it is easy to use, I only use it for looking around while I’m not shooting but never to keep the gun firing on targets while running away (I only use it to keep the gun pointing at them)

I used to use 2 finger claw tecknik :3

forefinger was reserved for lookout area, I only used during run away in fast firing gun.

first lined up my shot with thumb, then locked onto that spot by holding forefinger on lookout area (also used to avoid obstacles) and fired with thumb everytime reticle was green

used to work perfectly fine

now I have moved over to pc, tablet is very old

I always hate encountering someone in 1v1, as pc autoaim is shiet, it doesn't allow me to get any advantage over enemy target
like robbing their mobility (by taking out drivewheel and forcing enemy to use repair kit) or even shoot in general direction of engine (just in case 33% of internal module damage kick in)
I have to rely more on my mouse dragging skill than that garbage autoaim

There is actually one more use for pc autoaim, it forces gun barrel down onto enemy if you are in 3rd person camera and in pointblank range

if you don't use autoaim at pointblank range
gun automatically tries to avoid colliding with enemy hitbox by raising itself up (even when you looking as far down as game allows you)

this game mechanic has massive limitations when fighting enemy as you could be near their drivewheel in attempt to shoot it but gun actively starts to avoid enemy's collision model by raising itself up
then you have to rely on garbage autoaim if you are in tight corner and want to avoid hitting terrain
garbage autoaim would aim at center thus turring your turrent away from drivewheel and aiming enemy's centre at auto ricochet angle....

touch aim assist already overrides this useless mechanic of gun raising, thus allowing you to be on the move and also get advantage over enemy

it does I have had many pointblank encounters and gun never rose up

Few weeks old replay, featured on DearHRS yt channel name of video WoT Blitz- 2 T-62 A ace masteries (6.5k & 7.2k) timestamp 3:17

I am aiming down just like in cdc clip, pc replay (t62) one just raises it up

i am point as down as possible that's why camera is up just like in cdc replay

I am aiming at lower side, because my next move is to side hug him
I am also trying not to get cornered by superheavy

if I would be aiming at his front plate or turrent
gun would be at level of my turrent
not above it

now go take a look at cdc clip, I am doing exactly the same as in t62 replay

pointing my gun down causing camera to move up

I have literally repeat 4 or 5 times, I am looking as far down as game allows me to point my gun down
on touch client aim assist automatically overrides over gun raising up on pc it doesn't unless you use garbage autoaim

remote oriole
#

The gun points exactly where you aim
Don’t use third person when side hugging, regardless of the control-mode

No, look where you’re pointing. The difference is that you are way closer with the T-62A which is why you are pointing at the turret or deck armour of the E100.

That doesn’t change that you are still aiming at the deck armour and turret of the E100 which is exactly where your gun is aiming

You can easily see where you are pointing since it’s marked by the rangefinder to the right and the reload timer to the left and it’s not the lower side of the E100

The deck of the E100 is higher than you gun which is why whenever your gun points slightly higher than you are aiming it appears like a huge jump while it actually is just a slight deviation caused by your camera movement and the E100 ramming you

You are doing the same, the difference is just that your are actually aiming at the lower side of the T30 and not at the deck; you gun will point right where you aim. Don’t use third person when sidehugging because there is no way of pointing the gun down

And you were wrong four or five times. Pointing the camera down does not mean that you are actually aiming at something low down, all that counts is what you aim at, and not how you aim at it. That has nothing to do with mobile autoaim

Also, if you are sidehugging someone why don’t you use the PC autoaim?

turbid smelt
remote oriole
#

You don’t even have a chance to hit the drive wheel when sidehugging because you don’t have the gundepression

I’m currently testing how much what he says is true

So far it appears as though mobile autoaim is actually causing your gun to depress fully down if you look all the way down while on PC your gun will always point where you aim (which is upwards if you aim at the deck and turret). However, you can easily avoid that by keeping a bit of distance or by using sniper mode or by using the PC autoaim.

ah too bad gun is mounted soo far up and definitely don't have 7* of gun depression

yea like I said, mobile aim assist does override it

just like mobile aim assist, pc auto aim also allows to use max gun depression but you need to be at center of enemy to avoid hitting it at auto ricochet angle

remote oriole
#

You are not even sidehugging in that screenshot. You could have easily pulled off what you did in the CDC on PC too because you actually aimed at the side because there was enough distance to do so

I actually thought that you talked about the gun hitbox because that puts your gun up even if you have mobile autoaim enabled

So, I harassed a poor T1 Heavy in training rooms for science (don’t question my methods) and found that mobile autoaim does indeed not override it, your gun still points where you aim, the thing is just that you can literally point your camera almost vertically down, effectively creating a bird’s view (but you can only do it if you are very close to an enemy you are autoaiming at)

turbid smelt
#

:/
ahh
you wrote "not" after "indeed" so I thought your are disagreeing

remote oriole
#

So you are actually right that it’s the autoaim that causes it, but not because the mechanic is different but because it allows you to aim down to ridiculous levels

I only disagreed with your explanation, but in essence you are correct. However, I think that’s a minor advantage that I never noticed before. I recommend using the sniper mode to combat the issue, I do that on mobile already because it also allows me to hit what I want to hit more reliably when sidehugging

263 flat gun mantlet is a weakspot for gold rounds. Despite its a spaced armor, since the armor behind it is only 0mm heat rounds are just as good as apcr against it.

@deft owl I just realized your statement is false given the plate isn't flat, where APCR can do more than HEAT and normalize

deft owl
#

@nimble zodiac You assume point blank range. Apcr lose pen at range, heat doesnt.

mental pasture
#

Yes, but usually only loses high numbers at high distances, like less 50mm for 500 meters @deft owl

Also HEAT is much slower, don't have normalization angle and explodes with contact, spaced armor removes a lot of pen from it, etc. HEAT is my fav ammo but it's really bad at long distances tho

Another detail is: Obj 263 mantlet isn't flat, it have an angle, even is this angle isn't much effective
The original angle is 25 degrees for 250mm armor, so the effective is around 275mm if you don't have any normalization angle and around 260mm if you shoot AP

The kpf pz 70 needs some well deserved attention, as a tank in as many defensive and even offense downs as it has ups. It it has acceptable turret armor but not enough gun depression to use it thus a gun depression buff is needed from -6 to -8. not to mention the weakness of the full make's it near useless on flat. At first look at the stat sheet it would seem to live in the realm of peak a boom, but with the worst standard/premium pen in tier for tanks with Heat at 240,305 keep in mind you are A heavy not a med and bringing pen like that to a tier 10 heavy setting is near useless. Thus It needs it's apcr brought up to 258, and it's Heat brought up to 340. If it could have 690 HE damage it would be great as well

@deft owl If the didn't know the m103 Literally Has the exact same pen numbers but with Higher DPM and is the Tank I based the kpfs it's pen off of. The m103 would still be the superior tank on the flat with it's better hull armor better survivability with the Sandbag armor and similar mobility not even factoring in the super speed consumable. But the statement was never about the m103 as it has near nothing to do with the kpf. and on the list of buffs the kpf would be number 3 as a tank struggling on both flanks.

Let's remember that M103 have an extremely bad hull, the turret have some good weakspots, and heavium agility, (Valentine AT have better sides)
The only good part about M103 is the turret (when you can deal with the weakspots) and the cannon

Meanwhile on KPF we have almost the same agility, but a better turret, low profile and a 150mm cannon

It's almost better than M103 but still pretty hard to play according to some reviews that I saw

200mm is penetrable for even tier 7 tanks (some tier 6 too) @deft owl

@deft owl tortoise and pta i agree, t54e1 i dont

@mental pasture I responded for Kpfpz having paper hull. 200mm is definetely not paper at all. You wont bounce a lot but not every tank you face will easily pen it either.

Yep Kpfpz is not easy tank to use. But that doesnt mean it needs buff because some players suck with it. Its completely balanced tank right now. Tier 9 definetely dont need an op premium.

@austere citrus T54e1 needs some engine power buffs. Its acceleration is really bad for a medium tank.

austere citrus
#

@deft owl many many many many tanks in tier 8 have 200mm+ pen on there standard rounds and against tier 9, it's nothing. Even a nice speed buff would be nice on a kpfpz so it plays like a heavium more of it

mental pasture

"Not every tank you face will easily pen it either."
The ONLY tank at tier o that can't pen it is T-54 with the first cannon

"But that doesn't mean it needs buff because some players suck with it."
A lot of players suck with it for a reason, also, it's not OP on practice if most of players can't play with it properly
(For exemple, AMX 50B is a good tank, but probably wouldn't be good if most players do frontline with it)

You seriously want to angle a tank that most of the hull is 40mm thick? Remember the double and triple calliber rules, also remember the normalization angles of APCR and AP

At least IS-8 have a troll hull and 80mm sides, meanwhile KPF have 40mm @winged barn

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 what a joke

On most of the IS-8 sides when angling you can get 180-230mm, meanwhile on KFP you can get 170-210mm on the same angles

#

Kpf's armor is more threatening than IS-8, by far tbh

winged barn
#

The kpz's armor is plenty for alpha trading

Ok... why are you guys pushing so hard for a buff on the kpz.

The kpz is actually usable and functional.

I see "buff my kpz70" here more than t28, vk45a, amx45
Seriously why
The kpz is actually decent compared to many tanks in the game

twilit crystal
#

just make the kpf faster, buff top speed to 46 and give it 15% engine power buff. Buff traverse by 20%

mental pasture
#

Yes, it's almost a medium tank, some speed buff fit for KPF

austere citrus
#

is-8 has a better gun and just better. Also can a lowe get a 160mm from 150mm hull and 100mm from 80mm sides? @twilit crystal also i like that idea

mental pasture
#

1- now you're crossing the limit, Löwe is already good enough @austere citrus
2- what are those "many tanks"? @winged barn a Medium tank with Heavium agility and a 150mm cannon with very long reload (compared to other 150mm guns)?
3- Even T28 is usable and functional, but still a horrible tank

It is usable, you just need to find the way to use it 🤣

Like IS-8? It have an aproximated agility, better armor and better cannon. But apparently it need a buff, instead of KPF

"As many tanks I was referencing are the tanks that actually need buffs"
Use IS-8 as reference
"IS-8 is perfectly fine"

Yeah this part I agree,
someone buff T28 urgently, PLEASE!

winged barn
#

@mental pasture
1st of all, t28 is not usable
And the many tanks I was referencing are the tanks that actually need buffs. The kpz does not.

And the wz111 1 4 is basically the same as the kpz

Is8 is perfectly fine

I have NEVER said the is8 needs a buff

Just a hint, but the group that involves the t28 is the group that seriously needs buffs.

Can the turret damage be removed? We just lost a tournament final battle because my dead tank turret exploded onto my allies tank and caused him to lose dmg like a burning effect until he died. The element of turrets coming off is cool, but I prefer they are moved out of the battle field and disappear or they don’t cause damage to your allies. It can cost you the game sometimes as it just did @crystal spoke yeah well it just lost us the one shot one kill game in the finals

Thats incredibly unlikely chance that it lands and stays on a tank much less an allied tank unless everyone is huddled together

My only complaint about the kpf is it's HE damage. If you have a iffy HE shot or AP, take the AP shot.

@winged barn t28 should get 305mm hull with a WAY stronger cupola. Sides should be HE-able though

Nah, its inferior to other meds, so a buff is necessary

Actually not at all, French TDs are pretty mobile, meanwhile T28 could be just a bunker, like the Doom Turtle and E3 @stiff edge

surreal grail
#

should VK36.01 H be nerfed

austere citrus
#

We have to get a tier 8 doom turtle. Like pure bunker. the front shouldnt be able to be penned by ANY tier 8 unless its like an ISU 152 with pramo and enhanced caliber. the sides should be paper though

mental pasture
#

Exactly, bad mobility, bad sides but very good cannon and ultra frontal armor, the E3 of the tier 8

But 300mm is quite too much

austere citrus
#

its literally at 254 right now and you can pen right through the front... 305 will make it hard to pen if they buff cupola too...

drifting depot
#

Not the t28 tho, just change the model frontally so it has the same armor profile of the t95 since historically that's how it should've been......

austere citrus
#

so 305mm frontal armor???

drifting depot
#

Effective thickness for the most part, yeah

rotund furnace
#

Who here thinks the obj. 140 needs a turret buff ?

rotund furnace
#

Well that really defeats the whole purpose of play hull down The tank was made to have a strong turret my dude they need to buff it because right now there really isn’t a reason to drive the 140 over the 62a because the 62a had better gun depression and a better turret that’s why they need to buff the obj 140
Bring it back into the light

muted rampart
#

@rotund furnace this tank was made to have better mobility and gun depression Than t62 so it should be buffed this way. If we will give 140 strong turret, There will be no point in t62

@stiff edge Not exactly, because French TDs are mobile and penetrable by which callibers

Meanwhile E3 and doom turtle are slow and nothing can penetrate them (unless if you go for the weakspots)

What about the glorious soviet armor like obj 268?

@mental pasture yes but americans are slow and nothing can penetrate them unless you go for weakspots
so theyre french
but american

mental pasture

As like I said, you can penetrate the French TDs easily with high calliber tanks and with Prammo (if your prammo pen isn't that weak)

American turret TDs are supposed to have almost impenetrable fronts and ultra slow agility

yes
so french but more american

WG can u pls buff the interclip reload of the Batchat 25t to 2.5 seconds instead of 3? 3 seconds just seems too long for the amount of damage you're actually getting out.

it’s already faster than leo 1

A light, faster than a medium?!?! WOAH

It should be a medium though. And a medium with 4*350 at that

Bat chat should get 350 or get interclip reload 2.5 at least make competitive vs tier 10 lights and meds.

compact sigil

Personally, I can go without 350 alpha, I think 2.5 seconds of interclip would be much more beneficial than an alpha buff.

drowsy idol

yes swap classes leo 1 and batchat

Yes make a 40 ton tank a light

I don't agree with you all, seriously, where did you got those ideas?

nocturne mauve
#

Bc should not have such a high burst, the clip reload makes it fun

orchid grove
#

*looks at every other platform where Bat Chat has the highest non-TD clip potential in the game*

nocturne mauve
#

But it’s not healthy for wotb. It’s 7v7

And if you want to go off PC, do you want full alpha damage for premium shells, artillery and no armour highlighting?

hardy hazel
#

Reduces inter clip reload but add those seconds to reload time

karmic steeple
#

350 alpha would just make bc more competitive nothing game breaking especially with the increased heavy hps
I dont like the 4 shot idea Bc it would make the reload just too long and would make it vulnerable for too long

mental pasture
#

I think that the intraclip should keep, but with a 4 shell clip. Why?

  • 350 alpha is almost the damage of a 120mm cannon, Bat Chat is a light, not a speedy TD.
  • 3 shells isn't enough to deal with heavies now, also with a fourth shell you'll be able to administrate better your DPM
  • 350 alpha is already too much, but with a fourth shell too is extreme

It would be understandable if Bat Chat get the medium tank sign (so concealment while moving nerf), but BC is a light on WOTB, meanwhile it's a medium on every other game

orchid grove
#

*and 350 alpha

nocturne mauve
#

Aw stop because that’s overbuffing

mental pasture
#

Also let's remember that adding only a 4th shell won't change the DPM so much, because it'll add more 3 secs of total reload (Clip reload + intraclip), from 2,698 DPM (100% crew without provisions and equipements) we would get 2,777 DPM

The main problem is "What if the player focus on DPM on the equipements and provisions?"
Then we'll have a DPM explosion, from 2,847 to 3,292, which is unacceptable for a light tank

Would be fair if it become a medium (which means concealment while moving nerf), since the average DPM of tier X mediums is around 3,150 - 3,660

hardy hazel
#

If a single light tank with a mag cant deal with heavys now, what tell you that every single tank in the game can deal with heavys without being another heavy or td?

rare mauve
#

Bat chat needs buff
Plz

mental pasture
#

All othe other mediums have high DPM (unless Progetto, which have autoreloading system, but it can have a great reloading too when well used)

Sheridan have missiles and Light Vickers have a decent turret armor and high DPM too

Most of the tanks have a hgood chance to fight another heavy (unless if it's a super heavy like E100, IS-4 or Maus), but Bat Chat can struggle much more since the only special things that it have is an auto loading system and speed @hardy hazel

drowsy idol

if bc actually gets alpha buff might as well buff the 310 alpha for 140 too

The chimera by itself is more than a great tank, why on earth should wg ever buff it? It's like I'm asking to change the STB-1 so that it gets much better hull armour. You know, just because it doesn't have that great of a hull.

tall owl

Having a weakness teaches you to master the tank, and if they buff more well performed tanks as it is, then wiggling isnt effective as it suppose to be, does it now?

wind otter

Chimera is OP in reload vs a derp tank like the SU-152 tanks with atleasrt 400 dmg should take more that 8 secs (idk the reload time of the chimera) i think it should be 13. somehing sec reload

So you haven’t even bothered to check the reload and you compare it to a su 152 which ironically has more broken dpm than chimera @wind otter

I agree with garrison learn to use the tank. either angle the hull or hit n run . Stb is not a front line tank better exploiting weaknesses in other tanks and moving around the field.

This part here is a problem, it looks flat when you are looking at it from the front but you get a bounce if you hit there, the real problem is not the bounce itself, is the fact that even if it bouces the shell should keep going and pen the front or bounce again in the front, not get deflected directly to the moon

Buffing TDs will only make battles longer since they’re red-line based. Also it’s the most boring vehicle class to play and play against. Blitz is supposed to be a dynamic game and broken/unapproachable TD positions are gonna make everyone camp. Seriously even a TD should be played with some thinking to be efficient. Don’t ever put 1 broken bush than covers entire map like in Mines (it makes only 20% of the map playable).
You should rather think about making meds stronger by nerfing heavy tanks’ view range and dpm. Stronger meds = faster battles + heavies won’t spot TDs so easily.

Cause at this point you agree you overbuffed heavies and decide to overbuff TDs to fix it?

winged barn

@unique scaffold just the circle of MASSIVE powercreep

Remember when the mediums and is7 were knocked out of the throne by actual nerfs? Those were better balancing decisions.

And now premiums have been buffed, and with the idiotic (not even a real rule) of never nerfing premiums there is no going back.

Same heavy tanks are used as before. They’re just stronger and are better than mediums on “medium side of the map”

It is more rewarding to play meds and lights and you have to actually think how to play in them now, but some of them have been pushed from their roles since dpm-tanks are now not able to compete in 1vs1 against heavies, so they are restricted to using their allies as meatshields and farm damage
