you ever tried to improve something that is random?

winged barn

They should make it more random again. Improve the randomness

Tbh i forgot why but it was a separate que for i think really bad players or the ones who were reported too often but I honestly forget

It was quite a long time ago

I dont rly have a problem with mm, i just wanted to ask that because i always see a random guy saying things about it here just to find the same answer "dont cry about mm here" but i didnt see a single channel to talk about that, thats why i asked.

Also, thx for the answer :]

Finally Smasher is balanced. Was so weak before. Well deserved buff 10/10 🙄

I think it needs an alpha buff next

Not balanced enough

u mean 380mm, then we have 10k damage per shot, and 15k HE

Shhh smasher is in the game for about more than a year , it didnt trash meta or matchmaking , it is fine , ppl did buy them and risky their lucky for it
You wanting or not , wallet Warriors needs to exist in order to F2p players to existi

what in the hell, smasher buffed? this literally shows that WG has no intention of nerfing it

could a WG staff please explain the reasons for buffing smasher's camo?

teal palm

Blitzstars says the kv2 has 5% camo while smasher has 14%
That is actually unfair and ridiculous

It’s really strange why only the camo was buffed? It’s a heavy tank I’m also curious what the reasoning is for

jagged crescent

Or the reasoning for any type of smasher buff

Well let’s be honest here, tier 7 is a clown show of OP tanks. The entire tier needs a rework.

tall owl
#

Everyone: “noooooooo! Nerf smasher!”

Wg:
@mental pasture its not like well over 500+ alpha damage with AP with 13 second reload and thick turret is balanced enough. We need to be reasonable and buff the reload to 7 seconds 👌🏻

Buff AP penetration

But then the heat would be pointless. We would need to buff that to at least 300

@karmic portal this is what everyone was talking about. barely anything changed about the smasher, but for the fact that wg thinks its not well performed enough as it is, till they had to really fix that leak.

unique scaffold
#

Also reading up on the other buffs it really just seems like they grabbed the most random tanks they could and buffed the camo for some reason they buffed tankenstein and gravediggers camo which once again they are heavies and can’t even put a camo on in the first place??? Really unnecessary buff which only proves how disconnected the balancing department is from the whole team

#

Those are largely inconsequential buffs and for all we know are part of a bigger set of changes that we are as of right now unaware of.

WG should actually buff deathstar camo just a tiny bit because it's absolutely awful
Nothing's more annoying than getting spotted in your TD while travelling to a bush at the start of the match

Don't play the 183 then. That's the point.

@unique scaffold I think they buffed camo ratings for them exactly because those tanks can't put camos on. But yea, like, Nightmare, Scavenger, P43 Ann are kinda understandable to have some better camo, but not the T7 heavies.

    Yeah, this is balance discussion, if were being told to “not use the tank” then whats the worth for discussing it? This channel is literally for discussing tanks that needs rebalancing, besides of asking a tank to get buffed or nerfed, what are you people expecting?
winged barn
#

The 183 is only fun for the person playing it. The person on the recieving end is not having a good time. There is a reason why people say do not play it.

drowsy plaza
#

183 will never be balanced for Blitz with that alpha and pen combo

#

So instead of admitting that the 183 isn’t fit for Blitz, they just made it awful.

nocturne mauve
#

183 broken but bad, too many braindead HESH spammers because they know the premium has no disadvantage compared to standard HE. If the HESH had less damage than HE then it’d be fair

winged barn
#

Wait, it has HE?

lolz

compact nymph
#

Why even loading HE with the poor shell capacity it has anyways?

nocturne mauve
#

Never said I did, but HE should have more alpha damage than HESH

drowsy idol
#

ap should have less alpha

blissful vigil
#

Why? 900 is 3 shots from a Obj 140 or T-62A. Which is around 15 second. Faster than the FV183 can reload.

The only thing that makes people say it's unbalanced is the good Damage per shot. But in reality it's nothing special

@blissful vigil 62.5% higher damage than the next highest alpha gun is something special.

@distant river yes it is. That's why people complain about it. The DPM itself with AP is horrible. It's only when you switch to HESH things heats up

@winged barn I can't understand this, is it fun getting hit by some other tank? No, it is not
getting hit by 183 pretty much means you are extending too far or yoloing like a clown

sinful leaf
#

@nocturne mauve shell velocity makes it harder to snipe, but that doesn't really matter when you're used to derp guns. Although, making snapshots would be difficult because someone can legit drive behind cover before the shell hits if they're already moving.
The bigger problem is the accuracy, camo is kinda an pointless buff to begin with

twilit crystal
#

yeah at this point the 183 is fun for everyone coz its ez dmg farming to farm against

blissful vigil

You can shoot once instead of poking for multiple shots

mental pasture

I think that Badger should be on 183 line, it have much more AT-2, AT-8, AT-7, AT-15 and Tortoise blood then a 183 boi

But let's be honest, 183 is a classic and too meme for remove it from the game

When is FV 383 coming out? 383mm gun with big HE shells. 50k credits per shot.

frosty oriole
#

collector tanks wont be put back onto tech trees because people have already bought them for gold.
compensating for gold probably wouldnt work either because players will be angry

turbid smelt
#

if you would think about players they would get angry over that

drowsy idol
#

i don’t think they’d be angry because they’ll need to pay 6.1 mil creds in exchange of like 20k gold. you can buy something like the vk

frosty oriole
#

no you dont get it. the buyers of the tank often buy it to feel special, and if they become tech tree then the ability to exclusively play that tank is gone which makes the buyers angry

raven dawn
#

Give kv5 the improved engine power boost
Armor sucks so give it speed and ramming

Make it so you can sell 6 tanks every 6 hours

The badger isnt special as soon as it was sold for gold

And let us equip/unequip 5X exp boosters because we dont need them on premium/collector/elite tanks

drowsy idol

so a tank an hour?

raven dawn

Kinda but 6 for 6 hrs

The reason there’s a selling limit is so that people don’t fully mess up your account

Does anyone know when will sheridan finally get ballanced? Like nerf armor or mobilty and nerfing rockets, or rempving it from the game?

raven dawn

It will be powercrept over time like batman

unique scaffold
#

It received nerfs to all characteristics though the speed was nerfed and the penetration the armor isn’t an issue unless you can aim

sinful leaf
#

The mobility already got nerfed, the spaced armor is to counter those who shoot HE or can't aim at center of mass, and ATGMs are only able to be used well by a small portion of the whole WoTB playerbase. If you want a tip on countering ATGMs, just don't sit in a spot wide out in the open behind terrain, makes it easy for anyone to slap a HEAT missile into your tank.

muted rampart
#

sheridan already has been made balanced

austere citrus
#

remove the spaced armor, then it will be fair

sinful leaf
#

You realize I just said that only a small amount of people in the whole playerbase can use ATGMs skillfully, as in derping you while behind cover from a distance, yes? I just use AP for the spaced armor, if you understand the Sheridan's armor profile then you will know not to shoot the edges of it. Sometimes HESH is able to pen, but it is much easier to shoot HE at the turret.

When you shoot a paper-armored Rhm with 122mm of HE, at least half that little bug should go boom!

autumn zodiac

I mean, 500 damage is almost half of it's health and it's not like RHM is hard to catch on fire

#

Sheridan already got nerfed dude, why you want more nerf, if your shot bounces a lot its because of Sheridan spaced armor, even if wargaming nerf it again, it will still bounce @boreal hollow

mental pasture
#

I don't struggle against Sheridan because I rarely play tier IX-X
¯_(ツ)_/¯

primal yacht
#

I’m reality T49-Sheridan we’re not very successful because they had thin aluminum armor that was barely bulletproof. Maybe. If they were hit by HE anything they’d likely be knocked out. And they had a more realistic reload time of 30 secs minimum. But this is a arcade game, not a realistic simulation, and some people get off on driving around real fast and shooting people in the arse. I wished there was a true realistic simulation mode so we could see how these tanks really performed against each other.

austere citrus
#

so ur saying 30 second reload but 640 ap/545 heat/960 HE but 30 second reload which destroys the DPM and nerfing the armor to like 5mm. @primal yacht if there was realistic simulation mode, kranvagn/MBT-70 would dominate tier 10

@primal yacht play warthunder for that otherwise comment was pointless

If it was realistic mode the maus would barely even be able to move and the tiger 2 would be liable to break down any moment for no apparent reason

@sudden granite then that’s a you a problem if you look at the hit model in armor inspector your aim must be way off
@galm#9430 I think that if I shoot a sheridan which is right in front of me with my ho ri, and it bounces center hull, it’s not because of my crappy aim. And no, also not because of rng or whatever, the bounces just shouldn’t happen. Playing the sheridan I’ve received multiple bounces center hull which cost the enemy the game.

Once again must do with aim because center wise it should hit and do damage unless your shooting the rear or the tracks

@sudden granite still getting hard to believe you VVV it’s a driver port what do you expect all the ports absorb shots it’s not my fault the sheridan requires aim to hurt

I played it last weekend and it frankly sucks because i always have to use APCR after the heavies got buffed. It is just a tiny bit faster than panther ,has figuratively no armor, big as a barn, its acceleration and track rotation is too low to flank or circle enemy tanks.

why not buff all hp classes instead of nerfing heavies

let s nerf reload on panther to 4.1 secs and give panther m10 reload of e25 and give it engine that will allow it to go it s top speed. both of tanks will be balnced because m10 still will be big and paper but it will have good dpm and mobility and tech tree panther still will have its broken armor, but it will have worse dpm and quite bad mobility for a medium

unique scaffold
#

How about no the fact you want a premium to be buffed to a tech tree standard shows the status of the game panther m/10 has been “bad” for a long time and this was well known your willingly driving this over the panther so I don’t know why your complaining about it’s inferiority when the normal one which is better is free

There is just nothing good about the e4, worst dpm of all teir 10 TDs, meh armor, meh mobility, it can get HE on the sides, worst hi points in teir 10 plus it inflexible because only 6 degrees if depression. It isnt a bad tank just not good at anything.

Just stay behind the rock and if you have enough gun depression..... usually 5-7 degrees is enough you can peek to the right or left side depending on your spawn to shoot whoever got in the hill, since they would be in a more elevated position than you they'd usually hit your turret or just expose their lower plates in general

Lets face it most tech tree tier 8 meds have stunk since 3.8 . Frankly I think they should give medium tanks the old pre 3.8 10% rammer, it will not effect most in tier 9/10 because people are using CS - but it will give tier 7 and 8 meds a boost, as most of those run rammer because they dont have HEAT -- the ones with HEAT have decent pen with CS, so they are not severely disadvantaged by heavy meta.

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

As said it needs front armor buffs and penetration buffs. Leave the sides and rear armor unchanged and keep the gun depression. I feel it should play like a Mutant at tier VII but with an auto loader

How about the gravedigger?
Tier 8 is bully town for it

I’d say it needs either

  1. Gun depression buff
  2. Accuracy buff
  3. Penetration buff
    or a combination of two

Well, I’d need at least accuracy if I wanna hit the right places with that good APCR :|

drowsy plaza

I could agree with a APCR buff to 220mm, or even 230 the same as the Gravedigger

if you have problems in the GraveDigger its not the tanks problem -- 230mm of pen with Vents on the APCR, and 242 with CS is very good for tier 7 heavies.

Can we get a semi-slight maneuverability buff for the T110E3? The tank is considerably faster than T95 but at the same time the moment you turn in the tank or go up a slight incline it’s almost like you’re driving the T95 again .

Out of all tanks you want to buff, you chose the e3

turbid smelt

@feral scroll there is big enough heable section on the roof for anything with penetration level over 76mm

you can also butter its roof with heat rounds, or just pen throught its drive wheels with standard

feral scroll
#

no you cannot butter the roof with heat rounds, 95% of the time they auto bounce due to the angle. also, for some reason some american tanks roofs seem to act as spaced armor for no apparent reason, regardless of angle HEAT rounds sometimes dont work. as for the drive wheels thats only for very large calibers, usually 15cm+.
and that spot on the roof? auto bounce angle as well.
I don’t mind a well armored hatch, just look at the AT7 and 8, im miffed because it literally defies physics.
Also the same people to argue that the physically impossible hatch is ok bc it’s just a video game are the same kind of people that argue that fantasy tanks ruin the game. < which i agree with to a degree, but if we are going to go for realism(which we arent) than physically impossible armor profiles should follow behind fantasy tanks

feral scroll
#

I think that was a glitch, that shouldn’t have been possible^^

Yeah, EZ for a TD, or unbalanced heavy tank HEAT (E5/E6 and IS4)pen numbers, but if your in a light or medium then your just crap out of luck. I think E3 should share E4s hatch, It’s still a good hatch but not OP.

turbid smelt
feral scroll
#

thats from a top-down angle, if you were angled directly at it or god forbid below it, there is no chance

heady moon
#

@feral scroll Dear talked about HE (heable), not HEAT.
Regardless of that mistake, the E3 roof, even front on, can be penned easily. HE can pen that 77mm of effective roof, and HEAT/AP will pen it regardless of the angle. Even when using full gun depression the E3 roof can be penned.
In this particular screenshot, the tank is angled even more.

feral scroll
#

You expect people to hit that tiny target anything more than 5% of the time? Even at point blank range even the slightest wiggle renders that weak spot pointless. Yes it can be penned easily by practically any round if the shot even goes there in the first place.

As for that HE shell from earlier, I think that was a glitch bc there is no way it should’ve have penned where it did. Tho if it had by some odd miracle penned at the tiny spot you pointed out then it would’ve made sense.

nocturne venture

people still don't know that the e3 is HE-able frontally in 2020 😩

It's not a glitch @feral scroll. It's a very well known weak spot all the experienced players. I was that E100 that shot that E3, and of course it was not a random shot; I knew it would pen it. Here is where the shell went in:

For the British at line, seeing how they’re were meant to be these heavily armored but slow tanks, how big of an armor do u think is acceptable. I was thinking of giving the at 15 an Armour increase from its 228 to 235 (originally I was think 245 but was like maybe that’s too much)and the front slope it has from 127 to 135. And to balance it out maybe drop it’s speed to 15. And for the tortoise increase the front from 228 to 250. I don’t know anything for the 183 though bc of what it has, the gun. What do u think. I’m pretty sure I’m not thinking this too much bc I feel like it would make the tanks broken. Or would a speed increase be better instead of an armor buff.

i cant see any balance in tier VII heavy tanks of hybrid nation.. smasher, gravedigger and now annihilator with more than 2.5k dpm and such a good armour... buying broken tank gives you skill... dont like this kind of marketing...

@meager spruce gravedigger is broken a f, had it in garage until i changed to get t28 defender. lycan, love it, but i didnt mentioned it cause its very balanced, true

we can agree, these tier VII heavies are not balanced... !?!

@flat stag gravedigger is ok-ish at best

@flat stag lulw, sure its "broken". Also you forgot lycan which is quite well balanced imo.

On smasher yes. On annihilator, I will wait to make my decision. But lupus and gravedigger are balanced. The only thing holding gravedigger back from being exceptional is the gun. Lycan is good but definitely not op
Since you are talking about the DPM parameter and gravedigger is the controversial tank here. You rarely get to maximize dpm as most of the time you ancounter heavies and are forced to shoot prammo and also you rarely get the entire clip in further lowering dpm. Armor is okish but the profile is huge making it an easy targer

sudden path
#

Once again, I dont think it can be said enough, gravedigger is a monster when facing tier 6s and 7s, but against tier 8 it flounders. Of course, most tier 7s have to be more balanced to take on tier 8 because odd tiers uptier more than even tiers.
Lycan is a is5 with a stock is3 gun, but it has 10 degrees of gun depression, and its downtiered. It's quite strong because there's a lot you can do with a russian tank with gun depression.
Lupus is about where lycan is, it has even more gun depression (12 degrees) and the same alpha gun, and the armor might be even better than the lycans, but I dislike it because of the rear turret.
Tankenstien is only fun for the alpha, otherwise it's too slow.
Smasher is very bad, it had to be buffed last patch because it was underperforming.
Honestly if the annihilator has after shot dispersion it will be well balanced but if it doesnt, it will be extremely strong, over the lycan/lupus/helsing, but not as fun as the drac and not as bad as the smasher

annihilator has no shot dispersion after shot.

Amx m4 49 is just flat out superior to the vk45a

I remember people yelling at me for saying I liked the t110e4 when the e100 is basically just a better version, so I get what you are saying. But it is garbage. There are tanks that do the same job in a much better way.

It has the second best lower plate of tier 10. In pubs, not many use prammo, so frontally you are near impenetratable without prammo and with some skill. And that "bad gun" is literally the same as E100 with better aim time, and a bit less dpm. Also, you have the best mobility of all the superheavies.
It may be hard to play, and it's not for competitive, but it's a more enjoyable tank than E100 in my opinion.
So get good.

Smasher needs a nerf change my mind

sweet prism

Imo tier x vk 72 is more workable than vk 45. Vk 45 B has nothing good enough. Upper plate, side armour, turret cheeks everything is butter to pramo; not to mention worse gun than e75.
Also, every tier 8 premium heavy running around with 225-240 standard pen and a buff of vk45a s pen from 200 to 215 is 'unnecessary'...🤷‍♂️

fiery dagger
#

1 seconds longer, yes. And by forcing everyone to spam prammo on it reduces the enemies' dpm as well to the ground. The turret cheeks. You know you can turn your turret to bait shots? I guess you haven't come up against one half decent vk players yet. And the cupola is mostly autobounce. Other than that? If you can pen lower plate with Ap, that means 280+pen. With this, you can butter E100's turret as well. The side weakspot is also nigh impenetratable frontally even with prammo. You seem to be biased against it. Learn it's playstyle and take it out for a few games, then form an opinion.

compact nymph
#

Yea right because people are definitively going to hit that plate consistently

fiery dagger
#

@muted rampart That small stripe is pretty hard to hit, and you can even wiggle. And if you turn your turret, turn it where the enemy aims at. Yes, it takes awareness and skill. Work on those then.

#

Wiggling exists. Also perfect for facehugs. And there are quite a few rng dependent tank, this being one of them. It's perfect for baiting with huge awareness, not your usual superheavy. Point being, it's nowhere nearly as bad as some players make it seem to be, just unusual and unique.

Where in the world did I say that everone will penetrate it?! Rng dependent meant, small and trolly weakspots if played correctly.

You know what? Cling to your biased opinion.
The side weakspot could be buffed, but even so, it's not half bad, since it was never meant for sidescraping.

#

Did I say you're doing it?
Anyway, why strengthen a trait which a tank wasn't meant for. If anything, the small turret cheeks need more of a buff, since only a few people understand wiggiling the turret to the direction the enemy aims for.
And no, you can never really make this tank competitive the way you mean it. It's already great for pubs, but since it depends mostly on raw frontal armour and strong lower plate, the prammo spam will render it ineffective, unless you make the lower plate like ~360mm effective.

I doubt most will even think about doing that, wanna know why? So far none of the guys I've met did that, not even unicums.... probably cause of how "small" it is although it's not so much on a facehug, even a guy here said it's an autobounce without saying that's because most people hit the edge of the mantlet or the turret roof, scroll up a little :/

Wait no, almost none because that one friend of mine that helped me find ways to he super heavy tanks with ease actually raised his gun once when we met in battle lol

@unique scaffold the vindicator is completely fair, if not, terrible. The pen for regular ammo is horrible, and prem ammo is also bad. The shield in front of the tank counts as the tank, so penning that counts as damage. With no gun depression, it’s hard to play the tank. This is definitely a pay to lose tank.

It does not reload faster. It takes over 20 seconds for the magazine reload and another 14 seconds to empty it. You are better off with the t57 if you go for auto reloaders and it’s a tier 10

The IS3def can act like a generic 122, but with a 7.5 second reload as said above. Use it like one until you have spent all three shots and then pull back for your reload.

Re-read it. You dish out 1200 damage with the intraclip reload of a single shot 90mm gun.

He's right on that analogy though, but if that was to be implemented on an is3 i'd say an option to use a 100mm gun with 3 secs intra reload, 215 ap pen and 275 Apcr pen, around 20 secs clip reload, maybe the same accuracy as the 122 with just slightly better aim time and 280-310 alpha 😔

tender lagoon
#

I am comparing a tier 8 to a tier 10 because the t57 is how a magazine clip should work. You spend more time waiting for the magazine to load so the benefits are to fire shells more quickly

teal palm

IS-3 Defender on avg does 1200 dpm, yes it takes 15 seconds to unload but for a heavy tank at tier 8 that’s still nuts, do not buff it

distant river
#

Your interpretation of how an autoloader works is not the same as how it should work. The IS3def is perfectly fine how it is, the only other tank with a clipper and that alpha is the T28def which has 6.7sec intraclip. It does not need to be changed just because you dislike it or cannot adapt to the uniqueness of it

tender lagoon
#

Yes it’s doing 1200 dpm but it’s the time it does it in. You can get non premium tanks with single shot guns that do 1200 dpm in less time and I do like the tank it’s the timings. Bring one of the reloads times down. I’m not saying both

#

Shells to be fired at 5 second reloads or bring the magazine reload down to 15 seconds. I’m not asking for the is 3 defender to be a super tank it’s just the times are to high. Yes but they have shorter firing times. You can off load 3 shell quicker in a t57 than 1 in a is3 defender

@winged barn Although, even with the full gun depression, IS-3 defender turret is still susceptible to the higher pen shells on tier 8 TDs and tier 9's, as opposed to the IS-3 turret, which is pretty much invincible, even without using the gun depression.

@teal palm Nah, standard IS-3 turret is straight up invincible. Even against massive penetration shells, like the ~370mm HEAT pen on the SU-101 using calibrated shells, it's impenetrable frontally.

Yeah, it’s a beautiful tank that’s showing it’s age, but I don’t think we want a true IS-3A from PC on blitz, the IS-3D is the IS-3A done right

orchid grove
#

IS-3A from PC copy pasted into Blitz would be so obnoxious. In your first engagement you fight like a T57 with armor, and then when you basically just never get to reload the rest of the battle, since even loading just 2 shells would take you over 25s, and like >40s for the full magazine

Yeah, but it's an IS-3A, and it's not that fast, so when the first engagement starts, you'll probably be like halfway through the 3rd shell, and probably would just wait to load it in

I feel that pain in the 50 b though, that specific mines scenario. You rush to the entrance, or maybe even try to take the hill if you see nothing, and then realize you don't even have ammunition for them until a few more seconds

It also happens on PC to the Bat Chat, and it's pretty funny in comp sometimes, you'll sometimes see bat chats from both teams rush the hill, then awkwardly try to position as they wait another 5-10s for their shells to load (which is why sometimes teams might even run the small 100mm gun on Mines, just to have ammunition in time when they get on the hill)

Also Kranvagn is nothing like a 50 b. Kranvagn plays a lot more closely to an IS-4 than anything

For me it's the opposite, I'm so used to the regimented nature of a normal autoloader that I have trouble getting used to an autoreloader. Like I'll fire off a few shells on something, and then instinctively dab the C key, only to realize I'm playing an autoreloader. Also, I hate having those moments when you're waiting to top off a magazine, and want to fire the second it's loaded, and then hit the fire button a microsecond early and end up firing the last shell instead, completely wasting the time spent loading

winged barn
#

You probably wouldn't even fully load the first clip unless you sat back and waited for a bit. On fast tanks, even 15 seconds is too long to be ready for the first engagement.

On my is3d I often find myself just watching tanks take the hill on mines with them in my sights with 5ish seconds left on my reload

I still need to get my hands on a 50b. Although now I don't even want to not that i have a 122mm autoreloader.

Autoreloaders in general have spoiled me from autoloaders I can't even enjoy how the emil 1 plays with having to reload that long after only shooting 1 shot off

I think WG need to buff Centurion. Because the tank is really trash. Even with a correct way of playing, which is hulldown. It is still out performance, because the DPM is the lowest in the tier 8 British line + the mobility as nearly the same as Caernarvon without armor. Even IF Wargaming decide to buff the mobility a bit, I do prefer they buff the DPM first. Because it is very awful. Can't even beat 1 vs 1 with another tier 8 tank. That is also depend on RNG and damage roll

Dpm is ok, i feel it lacks of speed

Nah, the DPM is the problem. Even 1 vs 1 with FV301, Centurion with 1450 HP and 2031 DPM vs FV301 with 1200 HP and 2378 DPM, still lose in DPM, FV win. Already tried it in several occasion.

But I also agree to buff the mobility a bit, eventhough Centurion has no armor. But still, DPM is the problem. Lowest in every tier 8 British line.

Max speed of 40 km/h is pretty sad for a tank like that... and i think they should maybe trade a slower reload time, but make a bigger alpha, right? I mean if it has around 250+ alpha but with a 5-6 sec reload it would be a great dpm support.

hardy hazel

I think it only needs speed, +5km/h to the max speed wont hurt

frosty oriole

no, if u want speed then i think the light tanks are the line to go

I was thinking of giving the centurions some workable armor similar to the fv4202 so it would be a fairly well armored medium line considering its also a main battle tank

Yes, it is kinda sad for Centurion, the first MBT in the world to be lose in performance to FV301 Light Tank in term of DPM and armor(?).

For me, Centurion mobility is mediocre for a Medium Tank, eventhough is has no armor. But the turret armor is kinda good in hulldown position. That is why in my opinion, it is need a DPM buff, so it can shoot very often like FV301 and Caernarvon.

Imagine a tank with nearly the same mobility as Caernarvon, but lack armor and lack DPM, and it is the first MBT in the world. How sad...

Emil II DEFINITLY needs some love.The turret and hull armor is not working against tier 9-10s,the mobility and DPM isnt good (as expeted and it is understandable) and the gun handling is mediocre.In my opinion it must have something good to be competitive in tier 9 like the kranvang in tier 10 and Emil 1 in tier 8 which is very solid if not too good as it combines all characteristics.I think the best option would be to buff the turret armor so it can support better the hull down playstyle because right now it simply doesnt.

winged barn

The emil 2 has a broken gun. Luckily everything else balances that out. I do not want tanks that can just mindlessness carry and are idiotproof like the maus has become.

Emil 1 is definitely overpowered,pls nerf it,it has both awesome armor and powerful magazine,which has a nice brust damage,side armor should be the same as pc WOT's 20mm

noble quail

I think WG need to buff Centurion. Because the tank is really trash. Even with a correct way of playing, which is hulldown. It is still out performance, because the DPM is the lowest in the tier 8 British line + the mobility as nearly the same as Caernarvon without armor. Even IF Wargaming decide to buff the mobility a bit, I do prefer they buff the DPM first. Because it is very awful. Can't even beat 1 vs 1 with another tier 8 tank. That is also depend on RNG and damage roll
The Pershing dpm says hi
The Pershing's dpm is just 2.1k, while the centurion's dpm is 2.3k

IMO the centurion is decent, maybe just a buff on the speed

For isu d-25S gun is getting a pen buff. No bl10 buff i am guessing

BL-10 is already great

If they are gonna buff the 122mm guns it's understandable, to make the grind less painful and also make players have choices to use the 152 or the 122

Nah BL-10 needs an apcr pen buff, 329 doesn't cut it when shooting the flat side of a 252U

turbid smelt
#

@nocturne venture there is very thin strip of auto ricochet angle at sides
very similar to wz 120 1 ft
no amount of pen buff for ap or apcr round is going to go through that
if you happen to hit it

only wei to penetrate that with ap or apcr is if you double the size of 152mm

fiery dagger
#

The pen buffs they are planning to implement bothers me. Why not just nerf the overcooked armour profiles? This way, heavies will only rely on their huge hp pool, without needing knowledge of their armour usage, because it will get rendered useless.
Not even talking about the somewhat armour-reliant meds which are already underperforming.

Armor nerfs to heavies would allow mediums to fight them from the front and not need to go flank for easier pens

Pen buffs are ridiculous, why do TDs need more pen

@full token and that is different from a pen buff how? Buffing literally everything results in a lot more powercreep than nerfing a few. It only creates more problems

@jagged crescent from what I know it’s essentially just an AP like round encased in a sabot AKA the discarding part it is a lot more complex than that but simplified it’s advanced AP and much better than having APCR as standard

turbid smelt
#

@frosty oriole xD

unique scaffold
#

@jagged crescent APDS is an armor piercing round that uses the laws of physics to its advantage. Designers made the shell smaller, with a smaller tip. Because you have more kinetic energy applied over a much lower surface area, the penetration increases by a noticeable amount. Think of it like this: pushing a tack into a wall is easier than pushing your finger in, right? Smaller surface area, more force over that area, and more penetration. However, because the actual shell was smaller, the sabot was invented, which was an outer casing that filled in the space between the barrel walls and the penetrator. APDS was the predecessor to APFSDS (Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot), which is essentially the same thing, but with fins added like on a missile for increased stability in the air, as APDS tends to tumble in flight and lose kinetic energy due to air resistance. The fins can be modified to allow for a bit of spin to increase accuracy as well.

The armor around the mantlet needs to be nerfed. The tier 8 meds need to spam gold at a tank that is faster, higher alpha, higher dpm, better camo, and has 10° of depression. Armored lights are fine, they just need some kind of drawback, like the 54ltwt has.

  3. T28: ack. Slow, butter to most tanks, and only has its gun as a redeeming factor, which it barely uses if it gets circled.
  4. AT line in general: Slow, butter if people know to aim for the cupola, and same as the T28
  5. I have more that some people may have differing opinions on (mobility of French lights and British meds, buff American autoloader line, etc)

But again like I said, why choose a med over an IS7? For most players mobility isn't really important, and dpm isn't that important if you have bad alpha and armour which requires skill to use. The IS7 is much much more forgiving and pretty much flat out better for the average player to use because they can't abuse the positive characteristics of meds and the hp and armour provide a safety net for their lack of skills. You yourself only have better WR in the T62 out of all tier 10 meds and heavies, and you have almost equal WN8 and lower damage than in your IS7 in the last 90 days... 🤦‍♀️

main thing here is "average player" nearly every heavy tank not counting clippers will be better for average player than a medium tank. but is 7 is also uselles in hands of average player. if you show ur lower plate u are rekt. you angle a little bit? you are being penetrated with high possibility of getting ammoracked. if you won t move your turret right you are going to be penned in turret cheeks by everyone using gold shells. your penetration ancd accuaracy are really bad so you are completly uselles while fighting heavly armored heavies at most of scenarios. there are many things that makes is 7 uselles in hands of an average player

distant river
#

Average players used to perform about equally (probably slightly worse) in meds and heavies, but since the hp buff heavies are dominating even for good players. Your lower plate is bouncy for meds and baits a hell of a lot of shots, you don't get ammoracked as often as everyone makes out, and idk why you think it's very small cheeks are going to be penned by everyone. The standard pen is second best in class, and it's accuracy is bearable. It has a punchy gun, good forward speed and armour that doesn't need any sense to perform fairly well which is all an average player needs. Its the second most played tier 10 and 4th most played tank of all and it's still average in performance stats compared to tier 10 heavies.

Its one of the weaker heavies for sure but that's partially because it acts like a med

IS-7 would be one of the first T10 heavies that needs to be buffed if hevies would need a buff

But now let's just wait how will WG mess up the game with the general TD buffs

@coarse harness <3700 dpm at tier 6> BALANCE

if heavies would need a buff
I like how the is7 (2nd lowest heavy in #devs-answers ) is still one of the top tanks compared to every other class.

Another thing. Why are all the tier 10 heavies also the top with damage?
Tds are damage dealers? Nah.
Dpm meds are damage dealers? Nah.
Block of armor a damage dealer? Yup.

Idk if they were unneeded but they definitely overdid it a bit....especially with certain tanks

What bad pun man said

dense walrus
#

"It's just more damage to farm".
well ideally yes, but in the vast majority of cases it just allows brainless heavy drivers a huge margin for error. meds might still be higher ceiling, but the difficulty of driving one well pushes more people to play heavies and keeps the heavy meta churning.

muted rampart
#

i think heavy hp buffs was needed, but not in actuall state. those buffs were needed but not +500 hp like in maus scenario or 350 in is 7. maybe 100-200 hp buff on t10 would be okay. it wouldn t completly destroy balance like it is now, but it would also decrease a little bit role of medium/light tanks what was main reason of those changes

distant river
#

Hp buffs for heavies were not a bad idea in principle

What was a bad idea was a very large blanket buff for all heavies, if they had targeted specific tanks with them and made them more moderate then they would have been perfect and the game (tier 9/10 at least) would have been in an extremely good state of balance

@distant river idk how ur called a veteren but literally

But let's remember that it's not even hard to pen an IS-7, on the same tier you have another heavies and TDs with a monstrous pen on AP (and a bigger pen on prammo)

minor minnow

Can we just talk about how they’re comparing an IS-7 to a medium tank? Obviously most people would pick a medium of the same tier over the IS-7... but the IS-7 has the mobility to work as a medium if need be. It doesn’t have super reliable amor against heavies and it’s “ammorack” might as well be as strong as a water balloon. That’s why playing and supporting mediums is a viable option, even being the factor that wins you the flank

TLDR: @distant river makes a good point and @scarlet fjord is stubborn and not looking at the big picture.

dense yoke

The amount of times i have been ammoracked in IS7 is just 😭

Not as a MAUS or IS-4, but it is a SLEW more forgiving than any of the meds in X currently.

distant river
#

@scarlet fjord Because I have over 25k games and over 50% WR (despite claims from a select few) which are the requirements for being a veteran 🤦‍♀️
IS7 is made for flanking and fire support, which is literally what you just said a meds job is... An IS7 can fulfill roles that a med can't easily, while not being as efficient when trying to be a med. That makes it better for average players. And it seems like you are thinking of a different clan to the R1SK that exists in blitz because the two lowest WRs in that clan are both 56%, one of them being you 🤦‍♀️

@dense yoke Nah it isn't but it's easy to find through screenshots he's posted in the past (mostly crying about teams, who'd have guessed)

fiery dagger
#

Completely agree with Honourless. Also, the armour of the IS-7 becomes much-much more effective when acting as a med, facing other mediums, considering, most meds have APCR as standard with less normalization than heavy AP, while being also lower profile, thus firing at in general a few degrees sharper angle regarding the frontal pike.

cinder sage

joining a good clan does not mean you can judge other people however you like smh

@minor minnow idk what kind of friend he called over
but he said IS-7 makes meds irrelevant
that does not = going med route to support the flank
your being childish follow your argument
i have 1500 games in IS-7
stop crying
and IS-7 doesnt have weak armor vs heavies its armor is more than average
your using it wrong

distant river
#

Imagine thinking I called anyone over 😂

IS7 is better than any med rn, if you want to play like a med then the IS7 will make up for the average players failings significantly more than a med will emphasise an average players skills. That makes it a much better choice than almost any med, and so choosing a med becomes rather irrelevant

scarlet fjord
#

ask any top clan member that
and he will literally laugh at you
IS-7s role is amazing
Meds role is completely different it cant replace a med
its physically impossible
specially when russian heavies are blind
I love the IS-7 its my fav tank in the game
its an amazing tank
it counters meds
but it doesnt make them irrelevant
STB-1 62a and 121
are still more than viable because of the DPM spotting mobility armor combo

@unique scaffold I could never have guessed that but he seems to be a talking barrel of irony and it's pretty funny tbh 😂

IS7 can work as a med, whether you think it can or not. I play it exactly like a med just more aware of my rotation and the stats I get don't lie.

The plain facts of the IS7s speed, armour and gun combo mean it's better than meds at being meds for average players

CS addicts looks the type of player that use Improved optics on E25

Calibrated Shells is good, but on other tanks, Gun Rammed is much better

orchid grove

@solemn hedge Remember though, that CS is only effective in scenarios where you pen a shot with CS that would have otherwise bounced with rammer. And in practice, the number of times that happens is pretty close to 0

@minor minnow Not as useful as rammer. Go ahead, play a game, and you'll find that most games you play, you'll frequently have a scenario where someone manages to get safe behind cover, or back off behind a ridge just a second before you have a shell loaded in.

Those are entire extra shots that would have gotten you ~2 extra shots per game with rammer that you miss out on because you run calibrated. And these scenarios are far more common than scenarios where a shell pens with cali that would have bounced with rammer

minor minnow

Still pretty useful to have, though.

@orchid grove maybe just make that it can be at most 1 183 per team and if one team Has 183 the other one also need to have it. People will have to wait longer to go into battle so a part of them will play it less and it won t be destructive for the game even after the buff, of course it still needs tech tree removal

orchid grove
#

@muted rampart That's not really enough of a limitation, because most games there aren't more than 1 183 per team anyway. The problem is that you see at least 1 literally every game, and they're always played by some derp addict with like 2k battles in the thing

#

@muted rampart I'm not saying it's hard or difficult to deal with, after all, it is the worst tank in tier 10, but it's just annoying that people spam it all the time.

It's annoying having one on your team because that's basically like playing a tank down, and it's annoying having one on the enemy team because you'll have to take the time to deal with it at some point, especially since all 183 drivers are toxic derp addicts who don't really care about anything except just hitting a HESH pen.

I' be fine with a small buff, I just want people to stop spamming it all the time, preferably by nuking the credit coefficient to make it prohibitively expensive to run regularly, so that people can only play it every now and then for fun

If you have to suggest adding a specific MM rule for one tank something is very very wrong with the tank and you need to do something about it...

@muted rampart well you see, they will add the "+" in the survival slot in the equipment tab like in tier 6 tanks and call it a day lol

unique scaffold
#

Your concept of a TD gun is weird then since t49 has atrocious penetration for its HEAT shell and lower alpha than the others not to mention the bad accuracy values and lower alpha HE the speed and big gun combo is not a problem since the accuracy becomes really bad at full speed and you have to remember t49 must face heavies with 150+ protection all around and even heat resistant armor t49 isn’t even as toxic anymore anyways too there shouldn’t be a reason why it shouldn’t exist considering it did and is nowhere near as toxic as Sheridan or t92

twilit crystal
#

t49 is a toxic tank too lol, its spammed way too much and is super broken although not OP, so the only way to fix it is either nerf it further which kinda sucks coz when you face a game with like 4 IS tanks on the enemy team you can't do jack already or make it more expesnive to run

Just make it so the HEAT is also a premium shell like the HE so that it has no standard ammo. And also nerf the credit coefficient

ik how to make 183 better, make it do even more damage per shot aha. give the 183 1600 dmg HESH shots and it'll be devastating

I mean the t49 is not good with the derp gun. With the derp gun it only has two positive factors and that is speed and alpha. While it’s workable for better players, the accuracy and penetration still screw you over way more than you will actually land giant derp shots

hardy hazel
#

or lower its alpha and buff a little the pen, t92 have less alpha in its HE shell than t49, also it will work fine for KV 2

What is wrong with T49? It's expensive enough as is to use HE shells on the tank, it's very difficult to make credits without a premium account if you choose to use HE on T49. And I don't exactly get the T49 spam. In the current tier 8 meta and when playing I don't consistently see a T49 on one team or another almost every game.
In my opinion at tier 8 I don't see any reason why literally thousands of players would be using the tank simultaneously, as there are many better tanks. Now KV-2 is a different story. That can one shot anything at tier 6 with an HE penetration.
Edit: Why "balance" something by making it unaffordable to use for any more than a few battles per day by making it cost you 50k+ credits per game regardless of the outcome? This is like using repair cost in war thunder to balance something instead of nerfing/moving it to a different tier.

The S. Conq, Badger, 111 5A, M4 54, etc. should be put in the tech trees (the m4 54 with its respective line) and players would receive a tank such as the 121B or other tier X prem as compensation.
@safe rapids you get a trash tier 10 for +50 usd? i like that

i mean they could do that, but they messed every chance of doing that because they put those tanks on crates instead of a fixed price, if that was the case they could just switch tier X premiums/collectables to tech tree tanks and compensate it with gold or something

Buff amx cdc atleast give it better reload time

They would have to compensate it with an Object 260, further heaping the potential problem of broken collector tier 10 tanks.

AMX CDC is fine, it has a powerful gun with great mobility ^^

mmm Object 260 seems like a big no if you ask me

cdc could do with a dpm buff, rw there is no real reason to play that tank unless you like getting HEed

Buff 183 also let’s add T-64 tank. It’s the tank combat version of the T-62 tank. Practically a heavy T-62a

I'm not saying it has to be the Obj 260, I'm just giving ideas

@unique scaffold bro, if you don't like CDC the way it is, then FCM 50T may give you PTSD

@mental pasture The reload is to long for the amount of damage

P.44 literally powercrept FCM ages ago lmao

Have you seen other tier 8 mediums with 80-90mm guns before? They usually work with longer reloads and worse precisions sometimes even worse pen too

That's literraly the best medium 90mm gun on tier 8 in terms of DPM (only T95E2 have a similar reload and T-44 with stock gun, which have a faster gun but 144mm of penetration on AP

CDC gun is fine. No buts.

.14 gun dispersion when turning the turret and on the move is acceptable to you in a paper medium?(vstabs)

The thing is about the fv183/jge100 is that it kinda balances heavies hp. Imagine having 2500 hp and losing 1000 hp. That kinda hurts.

It hurts for both sides because now that 183 is reloading and spotted and will either die or lose half his health

Adding skirms to random battles brings diversity to the different types of games. Also allowing new players to learn maps. Stats for tiers 9-10 isnt necessarily a bad idea because most good clans use tier 10 stats for clan recruitment. This is to give time for newer players to learn the game from 9-10 without being abused for just starting the game.

Tech Tree tanks to crate tanks is for wg to have a reason to add crate tanks to tech tree

i think swaping badger with 183, vk 72 with vk 90 and fv 215b with s conq is nice idea, WG should conpensate all of the tanks they put in tech tree giving every player that had collectible, but didn t have tech tree one, the tech tree one for free, but if somebody had both tanks just conpensate it with gold. if somebody had tech tree, but not collectible, leave it on his account as a collectible, but he need to grind the new tech tree tank again by plaing on tier 9

I would agree 100% on you but there's something there that I think it's not fair

Let's imagine that you paid 20k gold for Vk 90 (and you don't have Vk72), then 1 year later it becomes a tech tree tank. Then all your gold got on trash bin since you could have just waited to get it without pay a peny, right?

I really think that those tanks should get swapped, but;

  • Tanks that will become collector should be sold for gold as like every other collector, even if this price on gold is almost 10x lower than thhe price of a premium (exemple from 5.5 tier five that costs 250 gold X KV-220 T that costs 2.500 gold)
  • Collector tanks that will become tech tree should give the full compensation in gold of the price of the tank (Exemple from Vk 90, it's sell price is 7.500 but cost exactly 20.000 on shop)
    @muted rampart

Edit: Why would you change the full price of your collector (20.000 gold in Vk 90 exemple) for a Vk 72, which is pretty inferior? That doesn't make sense
Also this choice can give confusion, and is pretty senseless

@muted rampart Gib Super tortoise, buff vk72. Also I do not think think they replace badger with 183. Same goes for vk72/90, 215b/Supconq.

@dense yoke i also don t think they do, but it s definetly really good idea

The Badger is the natural progression from the tortoise

mental pasture
#

Yeah @minor minnow

Badger: Slow and heavy, with a great frontal armor. DPM fast gun with a common average damage, but gets a fast shooting with a good precision.

Tortoise: Slow and heavy, supposed to have a good frontal armor, but it doesn't work. DPM fast gun with a common average damage, but gets a fast shooting with a good precision.

Fv215b 183: No armor, no speed, no concealment, no DPM gun. Only 930 per AP and 1300 HESH and turret

The only thing that FV215b 183 share with the rest of the line is the slowness

It’s extremely weird and annoying because since the badger is not techtree here, we will never see a needed replacement for 183
Maybe, but WG has had the badger on sale a few times, and I think it just went up again

muted rampart
#

@teal palm those tanks still can be swaped in their role badger go to tech tree and 183 go to collectible and never f**in come back.

183 is a full meme tank, even if some day WG decides "Badger will become tech tree and 183 will be gone, LMAO", they'll sell this someday tho

As like there's people who buys ISU-130 even if ISU-152 is clearly better, then there will be people who would buy 183 if it appears on shop
