Worst tier 10 heavy maybe
The VK72 is doing fine as a tier 10

distant river

Why would you want to get to a spot early, get shots in as the reds cross to the spot potentially holding them back giving an early advantage? And then after that it's whether you want to sit in that position hoping it's useful all game and that you won't need to use all your hp, or whether you want to use your mobility to force the game to pan out how you want it.

  1. advantageous yes, able to decide an entire game no matter what the reds do?
  2. how do you know they are going to be there? You don't have the mobility to rotate if you guess wrong and sitting in the middle of the map is generally not a way to be useful the whole game
  3. so now you are back to relying on your team and relying on never having to move from your unbeatable position that doesn't exist on most maps?
  4. find a position like this for me where they cat pull back or rotate or simply not expose to you then 😂
  5. Farming doesn't take out guns or make you closer to a win like effective damage from a med does. Good luck winning a 1v5 every game

if you think the mk6 is a camping tank, and a heavy that cant be heavy, then that would be the same for e5, is7, fv heavy, and 113

@unique scaffold m8 you said its boring to play a heavy like a medium, if anyone plays an is7 against other genuine heavy tanks then they are playing is7 wrong. Because that just not what the is7 was made to do, and same can be said with all of the tanks that i said

Man🤦‍♀️📸

imagine not using chieftains gd

nimble zodiac
#

Stop using armor against heavies as an argument, it’s a medium hunter

#

The Chieftain is a medium hunter, that does not mean it can't block damage, because it often can, when played correctly

It may be a heavy tank, but not all heavy tanks are all about soaking up damage, and heck, with the HP, Chieftain can still soak more than mediums. Don't use the tank type as the ultimate indicator of how to play the tank. You use the knowledge of other tanks, map positions, and the stats of your own tank to determine how to play it. The stats don't point to an armored heavy like Maus, which is the ideal heavy for tanking damage. It points to a medium hunter, meant to go and out-trade mediums at their own field, using the higher DPM than other heavies to brawl the mediums and beat them at their DPM to HP war.

The Pz. II J is a light tank, but you don't play it like a light tank, you play it as a heavy. Why? Because of its stats. It is very armored and slow, and is capable of brawling most tanks into defeat.

Chieftain mk6 is so expensive

bitter fjord

@unique scaffold so the 50b should be a medium tank tf

Then play the right heavy tank, use IS-4 or Maus if you wanna do some dancing with your plates.

If all heavies were designed for the same thing, they'd be boring and lack their own special qualities

#

Use the same gun for both tanks if you want to compare armor. Not every battle is a 1v1 of those two tanks. It’s also not a fair comparison when tanks have different penetration

nimble zodiac
#

You've only compared their armor ._.
So you're not actually completely comparing them, especially since you've mentioned nothing about IS-7's stats and how they contribute to its playstyle

Chieftain is a medium hunter, not a medium. If it had better traverse speeds, then it would simply be too good at its job in some aspects, it doesn't need a buff, it's fine how it is. Learn the new playstyle it presents

# bronze osprey is that 2650 with adrenaline or nah? Because dual food, and rammer on is7 is 258...

sorry i didnt elaborate properly
IS-7 with gun rammer, double fuel and extra combat ration currently is 2551 buff to 2651 or 2700 is what I'm saying
not including adrenaline
when i play it i try to spam adrenaline and get like 3k DPM with delivery system module and basically play it like a med so like in 90% of the situations i dont need APCR just fire AP but it needs a DPM buff cuz its below average DPM for a heavy let alone heavium my point of view is that heaviums should have nice DPM despite its great 460 alpha its bad pen will balance its good alpha and good DPM combo since it will force u to flank around and use your head

-4 on flat ground. More than -4 if you’re hulldown or just going on sloped ground. -4 is pretty nice compared to the -15kph heavies tend to get. It’s still not good imo to put out features like it that don’t take away anything from the tank. Maybe they could’ve delayed the track repair time so the player had to stop reversing if they wanted to start repairing their tracks

the issue is

#

if someone pushes you, that counts as movement

crystal halo

#

Maybe if WG could find a way to only consider it when the player reverses on their own and not when they get pushed? Rn the game has the movement indicators that only show when you move the joystick/press the button. So it should be possible to detect when the player is moving the tank themselves and only then consider it for resetting the cooldown or pausing it

They are definitely not OP, the armor may work, but it still have a handful of weakspots. The mobility is good, but not so great. The gun is what they’re about, and the guns they have often don’t favor sniping, encouraging them to nullify their decent concealment. Also low HP is a thing

The cupolas are spaced Armor no it doesn't count as a weak spot.
And even Maus has weak spots on the front but we don't say it's Armor isn't good. And the lower plate of the Foch is too small to be seen from a distance if they're camping and if they're near they have the good mobility to keep moving and hide it.

50kmph is the same as most of tier 10 MTs
The Foch has 400 alpha which is good enough.

Foch 155 has 560 I think or 640 ( not sure).

1800 HP is enough for such a strong TD.

And yeah, armored TDs shall stay at 2nd line and not just Camp.

People don't talk about it much because it's not too common, which idk why but that doesnt matter. Each tank should be balanced in a game which is not ATM.

The cupolas are pennable in the middle region. The two sides are spaced armor and won’t do any damage. With 8.1 it’ll be more obvious the middle is what needs to be hit

prisma jetty
nimble zodiac
# unique scaffold The cupolas are spaced Armor no it doesn't count as a weak spot. And even Maus ...

The cupola is a weakspot, when shot in the middle, as well as the MG port. If it wants to keep its distance, premium ammunition is quite good at penetrating the upper plate, as well as the Foch's effectiveness is reduced not only by accuracy over distance, but by the opportunities it must wait for. The side armor is very weak, preventing the Foch from reliably combating several targets, and forces it to seclude itself away from multiple enemies. As far as tier 9 is concerned, Foch performs as good as the top 4 heavies in tier 9, and happens to be singled out as OP

Now to use top speed as a metric for mobility is a little bit misleading, IS-7 also has the same top speed forward, it's the effective engine power that makes the difference. Foch also won't find itself in many situations where it gets to use the top parts of its speed

@lusty silo Please don’t nerf the pen of the AMX M4 45, the gun is the only thing that makes it good. Please reconsider and instead consider balancing tanks that need nerfs like the T29 or Tiger I which got completely over the top and unneeded buffs. I know this is is early and we don’t even know the actual adjustments but the pen does not need changing on the AMX M4 and it will make grinding the AMX 50 100 even harder.

The armor doesn’t need a buff it’ll just put players off even more when they get to tiers 8 and 9 of the line. M4 45 already has more armor now than the pre-buff Tiger I, I think that’s enough unless WG introduces an armored French heavy line (which is unlikely since the M4 54 is a collector). Hope these changes never go into effect if WG didn’t make a typing mistake.

I personally think that the Turtle Mk.1 needs a speed buff, or dpm. Because once i am on my way to the battlefield sometimes i get outspotted and get clapped for 400 dmg. I think the armor doesn't really needs a buff, just the mobility or dpm so it haves atleast something going for it. 2.9k dpm when fully equipped with the correct provisions is just not enough. And it is as slow as an AT-15 wich haves more dpm, armor and the same speed. Maybe give it the special speed boost idk. But the tank is so boring when u can't block dmg and that u are not quick enough to take aggressive positions

It appears WG will buff the armor but that is a bad idea since players will be more clueless about the AMX 50 100. The M4 45 is a transitional vehicle and buffing the armor is one of the dumbest ideas. The pen according to the RU forums (a staff post) shows the standard pen will go from 212 to 200 and it will affect the AMX 50 100, AMX 50 120, and ARL 44.
Whoever is in charge of balancing has no idea what really needs buffed and nerfed. Anyone who has any connection to WG should stop this useless and clueless change, I have lost hope for the balancing team.
EDIT: It's not a terrible pen nerf but WG should buff the 105 mm to compensate. Standard pen to 175, anyone?

drowsy plaza

Armor buff is a terrible idea - unless they are going to add the heavier heavy line (and split from the 7) - what the tank needed was a touch more mobility.

Gets better, it might even be a mobility nerf:
AMX M4 45 . Reduced the speed of rotation of both suspension bogies.

Yeah, maybe WG will add an armored French heavy line. I drew up a proposal without the M4 54 in it and it looks pretty good. And, it doesn’t have the AMX 65 t! I could post the full version of it later if I have time. It basically moves the M4 51 up a tier and gives it better guns, adds the AMX 50 with the TCB 120 turret and the guns of the M4 51 (this is actually historical), and adds the AMX M4 48 at Tier VIII with the top turret and 120 mm of the AMX 65 t as an option. @drowsy plaza Only problem is, Wargaming doesn’t care.

Personally I think giving the AMX M4 45 an autoloading version of the DCA 45 would have been enough to balance it; while also making it more consistent with its bigger brothers

Naw, that’s weird. I think maybe WG could give it a higher alpha damage to set it apart from the other 90mm guns and to compensate for that pen nerf…maybe 240? All in all though the armor buff is dumb, unless WG introduces non auto loading armored French heavies then I don’t want this change to happen. I’ll post my proposal of armored French heavies later today, I think WG should take input from players on new lines in the future. At least give us polls on what they should do first!

I feel if they intended to test it they would have done it last update or earlier, since my guess is it will come around independence celebrations but that’s just my thoughts

The usual pattern I’ve noticed is the tank gets put in an update, so the tanks stats gets revealed - goes through live server testing - then crates for the tank/legendary camo get revealed.
Recent examples of this from the top of my head; Object 260, Somua SM, Skoda T-27, Turtle, LT-432

With TS-5, the tank has been put in, has the crates and camo revealed, but not tested. Just guesswork really

can you make a penalty system to discourage trolling/afk like if you do less than 10% of your tank's hp you lose 8% of your credits and if you have more than 10 million credits you lose a million? the current system of reporting afks/trolls is ineffective, with no drawback, because in reality nobody cares about the military honor system, unless you do unsporting conduct and he gets a ban for an hour, but it doesn't stack for repeat offenders, credits unless your account is maxed out buying all the tanks and 350 million credits, which is like 2%, is an essential part of the game for the rest of the players, and no troll is going to have a maxed out account, that's 1% of 1% if there is one, in conclusion, its much more effective for punishing and discouraging afk and trolling

nimble zodiac
#

The proportional loss system from your own credit balance, not the credit award from the battle, is a bit much.

It would detriment unlucky players much more than trolls who don’t care about their credit balance, and can play off of the premium they hijacked when they started the game

Buffed Tortoise vs Jagdtiger, tested by Lowe, using it's respectable gun

Jagd has a large LFP while Totoise is untouchable except for a tiny spot. With prammo Jagd is done for with only a mantlet, Tortoise gets troll armor around its mantlet.

We can say Tortoise is fine against Jagd, because of its gun traverse abilities over Jagd, in trade of its speed disadvantage

In my opinion, the wg to balance the bat chat 25t could act in 2 different ways:

  • could create a lightweight to play aggressive, giving it 350 alpha dmg and 2.5 seconds between hits

Or it might

  • give it 4 rounds in the magazine, with 350 alpha dmg, extending the total reload time to 30 seconds
    What do you think about it?

My thing with monster dpm tanks is that they should sacrifice armor for it. Why Jag is OP right now is because it's idiot proof against lower tiers and still has that monster dpm.

Also Tortoise and AT line should be painful to grind since 183 is so anti fun to play against. Also I like with jag don't like the idea of buffing tanks armor to be from nothing to too much and still leave dpm intact. But oh well that's WG ,it's not like they care about balance.

The gun is no doubt a good gun, but the gun is simply not enough.

Yes, the gun handling is superb. Yes, shooting cheap HESH at certain spots and penning can be satisfying. But the gun is 6/10 for these reasons. APCR pen while good enough still leaves some to be desired, DPM while it isn’t not bad does not even compare with mediums and TDs, and when you’re armor isn’t that good, the Conqueror is bound to be overshadowed by TDs.

Conqueror of course should not get a gun buff if anything. Conqueror in fact would be fine with a usable turret, except the turret is only 220mm thick.

Conway other than gun handling (which reticle exists), a small mantlet that shouldn’t be relied on anyways, and less HP overshadows the Conqueror

The difference between the conway stock and the conq is a bunch of hitpoints and better accuracy
Reticle is not an excuse for worse gun handling.

Overall the conq provides a amazing gun with mobility, super speed boost, and loads of hitpoints. Is it worse than the is8? Probably. But it's close enough that it comes down to personal preference, and I would much rather play conq over is8 and a lot of tier 9 heavies.

Except No the spall liner on tanks such as grille basically negate the fact that they have paper thin armor. Giving them almost a relatively armored tank because HE shots no longer punish them anymore. Some tanks literally trade in other benefits like Mobility for The Extra armor to be more HE proof but all of a sudden these new provisions make tanks that didn't make that trade and reap the benefits of having no armor and being nonpunishable makes it unfair. Giving spall liner to every single tank would be undoubtedly stupid.

It's no longer at point if guy has fully equipped rations to boost his dpm and other stuff by what 100 dpm. Now it's on another lvl a completely another lvl. If you chose to not use special consumables you are on average a lot but a lot less flexible then the guy using them in the same tank. In my opinion is if they are adding them then make them cost the same as other stuff. Point was to make tanks better with consumables but not to pay more to be better. But I suppose they make it so not everyone uses them but then what they said why they added them is just a talking in the wall. I am typing a bit too much. Eh.

@dusky fable well yes there is a Lot of heavy Spam right now but I have the feeling people try to get high damage numbers for the event because they can't Play Mediums/lights
@boreal crag That's why you should ignore a Maus or farm it down. If the Mediums really lose against 2 Maus then that was poor played. A Maus is there to waste HP and tank shots. That's why you Focus the Rest of the Team first in case it is a rush and take out the Maus at the end. Problem solved. Imo there is no really heavy problem. People just can't play lights(yes lights Have a different playstyle than meds) or do many mistskes with Mediums like Bad trading or not using advantages

Maus players have even come to the point where some even ignore 183s

@azure questOk so ignore the maus. Gotcha! So next time theres a maus platoon, ill just ignore them and let them farm my teammates. Understood boss! And when the match is almost over we still have 2 full HP maus to deal with, which is roughly 6,3k HP with the equips.
Ik how to play mediums, but the problem is that heavies have so much HP that they aren't scared anymore. Previously, if you went behind a corner and a E5 wanted to push, he would start to try to sidescrape, or something like that. Now he can just push because he has enough HP, so like he gives a damn
Also lets not forget that the Maus has a LOT of armor. Although its weakspots are easy to hit, all you need is for those maus players to have 0,1 braincells and angle their turret and hide their lower plate
So now you are low HP, you barely give enough dmg to affect the double maus and they are using their armor and abusing their HP
Gg on the ignore the maus plan

candid steeple

Well Maus profited from the buffs the most. IS-4 the broken one is pretty much overshadowed by that tank now. Yes Maus needs to lose some of it's HP. It's too much. They also buffed it's armor to make it hard for random shots to pen corners of hull front. Tbh I don't mind heavy buffs that much but well I am heavy tank driver. But as medium only thing that you lost is that your trade with heavies is worse then before. Putting one more shot into a heavy is not that big of a problem for mediums. Also things to consider is that heavies now need more time to kill each other so you got more time to defeat medium side and flank. thing that mediums lost is that they can no longer face tank heavies from the front as efectivlly as before since trades are not worth it anymore. And that's a good thing. Also I do play tier X medium and for me it's easier to win as medium then as a heavy. Well key word is the flexibility.

Again Maus is the only tank that goes yeet into the battle because it's armor can support it. Not a single heavy can go as you so call yeet without being torn apart. I wanted Maus nerf the moment buffs went live but WG decided to buff it again because they had to hide buffing premium VK with buffing Maus and E100 again so there's that.

dusky fable
nocturne mauve
#

Being able to survive 1/2 more shots is really important

azure quest
#

For me it's just more free damage to farm and HeroWonds is right. Before the HP buff a leo1 could actually kill E100 in facehug and that's not exaggerated. Now you have to farm them down but that isn't a big problem either with good positioning and trading. @boreal crag Your case is really unordinary. Can't even tell you when a heavy rushed me lol. But I see you didn't understand my message. In a RUSH you don't want to focus the maus first because it has too much armor and hp. No, you want to take out the tanks with the highest dpm and alpha, the tds and meds or heavies like 113. That's just simple focus fire. But when do people rush in this game? Correct, when all are low hp so in most battles you just sit there at your position and farm, farm and farm. You only want to get your damage out and abuse your dpm. Doesn't matter who is in front of you. Ofc this depends a little bit on the map like Vineyards would be great to farm damage but Naval frontier can be a bit more difficult. However, to not lose the point and making it a bit more general: A maus is only effective, when you focus the Maus and get hit by his mates or even die. About your E5 example: you were isolated from your mates or tried to fight in a situation with gun disadvantage. That's not a balancing problem. Just a mistake

I wonder when people will stop just looking at view range without looking at concealment. Also if you nerf already poor mobility of heavies they are pretty much dead as a role. Also E5 is a heavium. Sucks at fighting against heavies in cities but wrecks mediums. Making heavies blind while lights and mediums don't know what their role is. That's a big NO or you want WG to introduce report system if meds and lights are not spotting. I don't see your logic. Heavies have a lot worse spotting range. Look at concealment values and not just at view range.

# candid steeple So we nerf heavies and then mediums again start overperforming. I like this meta...

Mediums were not overperforming. It's just that the newbies from 5.5 rushed heavies like the Tiger and gave them poor stats, which gave the impression of underperforming
Also mediums are the universal type of tank. They are supposed to be a all in 1, so even if they did better than heavies, that's ok

@candid steeple Salty guy spotted. First off I'm a heavy main. I've played heavies more than anything else. So I'm pretty sure ik what I'm talking about.

# quasi axle The sides of a 252u while angled are not that easy to pen

I mean in a 90° angle. In a side scraping position you can't pen the side in every angle ofc. So about the heavy problem: I don't understand any of these problems. Good spotting range? Meh A light tank is much better at spotting than a heavy and you will never use a heavy to spot. It's just a problem of the player who don't use camos, camo net or they don't skill their crew ability "Camouflage". Mobility: IS7 and 113 have a really good top speed for heavies but the rotation is terrible and the armor isn't the best either. Then there is the special consumable which revived the E5. The improved speed boost is a great addition some tanks are just too slow and needs a little bit more mobility to be more flexible + meds don't have an easy win(supremacy) or draw(encounter) against heavies if it's a 1v1. Not a big impact, just a little help for some heavies. Combined with reactive armor the tournament games became much faster + more action. But I can't really say if it was a negative or positive change for the tournament community. For me a positive change because other tanks were meta and the IS4 spam was reduced. Good guns? who likes playing with an unreliable gun? Some tanks deserve a dpm nerf like E100 but the rest is fine. Heavies should be able to trade better than mediums. That's why mediums and lights got their mobility and spotting range. HP buff: Some tanks needs 1 more shot to destroy them, some needs 2 more shots. 300-600 more free damage so I take that ofc. But it's def. not an op buff for the heavies. The meds had too much hp and they were able to fight heavies in 1v1. Now you have to fight with a bit more brain.

Heavies do manage to spot just well enough. You dont need a light tank to get vision. Just take a heavy near the front, and youll be close enough to spot. This isnt wot pc

yeah the viewrange difference is marginal meds/lights are only better at spotting earlygame due to mobility

azure quest
#

That's the most important spot lol because then you can decide where you will go to farm effectively or where you will die and lose the game. Then the spotting range is not that important anymore. Maybe to spot tds but the spotting range becomes important in the end game again when your team threw the game, you are alone vs 1-2 heavies and a td. Now your spotting range becomes a broken advantage because you outspot and outtrade them and carry the game. These are simple Light tank mechanics which nobody really abuse in this game. That's why they are played as mediums

yes because light tanks other than the sheridan can outtrade tds and heavies

KV1S or IS probably with sunglasses. However, this is an endless discussion. For me the game is balanced(except VK90) and you need the skill/experience to be successful. Sure the heavy buff might be really frustrating for the medium mains here and also the current heavy meta in cw is pretty boring but I'd never say it's breaking the game or making it worse at least the random battles. They are random and the heavy buff doesn't have so much impact there. In case you get rushed or lose because of the dominance of a heavy then just think about a better position and look on the minimap. An E5 can't rush a medium when it has support

#

After 360 Games in Vk90(Yes I know I'm a terrible person) and many games against that tank I have a lot of experience to say that this tank is unbalanced. Maybe not broken. The tank sucks in 2v1 situations against mobility tanks. My main point is the armor. Someone mentioned the 6.7 buff and I thought it was a gun mantlet buff but I can show you the result of that buff. 320mm armor turret ring armor. Heavies already struggled to win the 1v1 against that tank. Now they heavily buffed the weakspot. It's insane in side scraping, trading, face hugging, hulldown. The perfect all rounder. But it also has some little disadvantages. 320 APCR isn't that great, the gun is unreliable and the mobility, well it's a german heavy. The trades are insane because of the 10° gun depression, 460 alpha and only 10.53s reload which is less than IS7 reload.------- @quasi axle But to answer your question because I kinda forgot that lol: No other tank has stats close to Vk90 on their tier ofc. I already expected the Smasher and Anni example. Wargaming introduced a new tutorial to make the game more noob friendly. they get boosters, premium time etc. Grinding a T6-T7 tank won't take so much time. THis player with less experience won't know what a Smasher is. He faces the tank and gets smashed. On T7 you meet many newbies or players who don't want to learn and just play the game to have fun. But they don't understand how to play against Smasher or Annihilator. That's why they have so much impact on that tier. The tier is the problem, not the tank because it's so easy to clap the players

yeah but why not any other tanks, there are plenty of other tanks people consider broken I think least controversial would be anni or smasher

a change with not that much impact. Idk why blitz community cries about everything WG is doing. What does this change mean? The gun is more accurate. Good but the gun is pretty accurate already so a meaningless change. 5 kmh more top speed. Well the tank can engage a bit faster. A tiny buff but it won't make the tank that much better. It's pretty decent but the alpha is too low to actually trade. That's why this tank will never be broken

The game doesn't revolve around trading... And the tank was already great

A trade of the black prince is way more than 160 alpha, have you seen its fire rate

azure quest
#

Increased dispersion = inaccurate , decreased dispersion = accurate. So it is a buff. The game revolves a lot about trading btw. That's how you basically win a game. Low Alpha is a disadvantage doesn't matter if the tank has 3k dpm or insane fIrE rAtE. These tanks with low alpha like Caernarvon, e25, Black Prince, Action x etc are in the game to have fun. But they aren't big carries and will probably suffer in many games depending on the enemy

No not really, if it has low alpha then it is more likely to have better fire rate and dispersion so it can compensate for missed shots, larger alpha guns are usually more inaccurate and missing a shot is very punishing

azure quest
#

Ever fought vs AMX MLE 54 with an E5? That was fun getting so punished because of the lower alpha. Or T49 vs T71. Really tasty. Because of an inaccurate gun these tanks play aggressive and give a fck about their accuracy. Tell me how do you want to win the trade vs an IS2 when you can't engage? Tell me how do you want to beat an SU152 when you can't engage? The battles aren't a 1v1. It is a 7v7 and you can't abuse your dpm. After a missed shot the tank with higher alpha isn't dead. No, he will continue trying to pen you. Let's take that IS2 example. You trade 160 for 400 damage. He will just go back and disrespect your dpm. if you think a missed shot from a big gun is punishing then you have to be the best player on earth

Jeesus, I was just saying a higher alpha isn’t always better

As I said the exceptions make the rule. But you will find most low alpha tanks on T7-8 and they are so bad. T8 tournaments. Teams still use Action X and this is pretty much a free win

full token
#

Higher alpha is better generally. Better use of dpm, better exchange of Hp, easier to hit one shot rather than multiple. Low alpha has its advantages but imo those aren’t as much as the advantages of higher alpha
However, the black prince having low alpha doesn’t make it weak. Especially with the dpm and the traverse speeds, it can be quite influential. I don’t think it needs a buff of any sort at all. Hopefully this rebalance doesn’t make it stronger

The game does not revolve around trading, or else jgpze100 would have been a great tank.
Black prince has consumables, armor, and gun.
The only draw back was the 20km speed which was negligible using the speed boost.

By the way, a missed shot can change a lot in a game. It is not really okay considering your long reload.

Potential french heavily armored line modules. Since WG is buffing the AMX M4 45 in the armor department maybe these could be added.
M4 48 works much better imo than the AMX 65 t, the stock turret and top turret have nearly the same HP (1730 and 1750, respectively) so you don't sacrifice much using the much better armored stock turret.
Tier IX is based on a model I saw in a WoT PC leak of the TCB 120 turret on the AMX 50 B hull, which was historical. It uses the guns of the AMX M4 51 on PC. The Tier X (Blitz) M4 51 uses the guns from the PC version of the M4 54.
Finally got around to posting this, I just had to slap together a Google Drawing.

EDIT: the whole doctrine of this line (pros and cons):
Pros; choice of 2 guns, high alpha on the big gun (470 for the Tier IX and 480 for the Tier X on their big guns), accurate and penetrating smaller guns, strong front armor, decent gun depression, good forward speed
Cons; average to poor HP (IX has 2150, X has 2480), tall profiles, VERY thin side armor, bad premium rounds, and poor DPM on the big guns/average-meh DPM on the smaller guns.

The 65t sucks on PC with a big-ass hull and no armor whatsoever. The M4 48 is basically a discount M4 49 without the profitability, and the option of a 120 mm gun in a big old fat turret for those that like alpha.
Also found some images that back up the Tier IX. This was way back during when French vehicles were brand new in PC. In Blitz the Tier IX would have an AMX 50 B hull with improved armor on the front plate.

m41 90 deserves a little terrain resistance buff :' ) i touched this topic before but I wanna mention it again. it plays more like a medium than a light. most of the time you're outspotted, camo isn't the best, acceleration is sluggish as for a bulldog type tank and German on top of that. don't get me wrong but, if HE is it's main strength and you're not fast enough to cod many tanks due to terrain resistance / acceleration, it's a bit sad haha. also traverse is quite slow in comparison to the rest of lights

Is it just me or random battles tier X game heavies got replaced by heavy autoloaders. LIke I see AMX and T57 or Kranvagen every game that I play. Must be nice to have 3000 dpm as autoloader with accurate gun nad 2.5s between shots. I think it would be time to nerf them a bit? Yeah? I honestly thing that autoloaders are too strong right now at tier X. Clip reload time is less then 20s.

Only Kran suffers with relatevly good turret if you are looking at the enemy and everything else terrible. Also apparently tank all about turret armor has less gun depression then AMX and T57. WG balance choices.

I still think that what they got for sacrificing armor is too much. Specially AMX 50 B. That tank was balanced or just a bit too strong before they reduced its reload time between clip shoots to 2.5 from 3s.

azure quest

The auto(re)loader system always was an unfair mechanic in the game because of the high damage in a few seconds but it doesn't mean the tanks don't have any disadvantages. long reload, T57 is really slow, no real armor(actually less armor than 50b), side armor is paper. 50B is a really flexible tank but it's easier to HE, you have 1 more second intra clip reload in total compared to T57, the turret is easy to hit and you can't trade against every tank. Like TDs or other big guns will give you a HE in return. Kranvagn - probably the best tank of all auto(re)loaders because of it's armor and the autoreloader system. But the long reload for one shell and the HE spam against the tank kinda kills it. Also the mobility isn't the best. Yoh - Imo the worst autoloader on t10. Bad mobility, terrible armor, only 900 damage, terrible clip reload but fast intra clip reload(2 shell gun)

For American heavies at tier 8 you have the T32, T34, EXP, Chrysler, Sheriff and Shark

The sheriff and the shark are two of the best tier 8s of all, so saying it's worse than those is meaningless.

Comparing the Chrysler and the T32 is very hard because of how different they are, but one is not considerably worse or better than the other

The T32 is considerably better than the EXP for obvious reasons, and also better than the T34 because it has consumables, dispersion on movement, speed, turret armour, hull armour and hp. It only has worse pen and alpha.

So the T32 is an average tier 8 American heavy, and tier 8 American heavies tend to be very good tanks. So the T32 is a very good tank. So no more buffs.

I still think that the t34 is better cus better dispersion and pen. For me the gun was all the pain that the tank offered especialy if you try to avoid pramo. The gun is really unreliable especialy when you are forced out of hull down position

It isn't smart to shoot AP because you can knock out the whole crew with a HE. Never understood why people keep shooting AP on my FV4005 or Grille lol.

crew/modules can get repaired. HP loss cant. On some guns, the HE would do less damage than AP, and its pointless when HE also has the risk of splashing on tracks or some angled part of the armor, versus just using ap, doing similar damage and not needing to aim specifically for the HEable parts or to avoid hitting tracks. On like 128mm+ guns its still worth using HE, but most guns dont get enough of an increase in alpha with HE against spall liners to make it worth the risks

azure quest

On FV4005 or Grille you have 1 or maybe 2 repair kits and only 1 heal kit. Tell me how do you want to repair every HE shell? It's totally worth it. I can say that because I often had the problem that I ran out of repair kits and then FV4005 with 30s clip reload fun.

WG you have to consider on how to improve your players and bring back at least some skill in to the game
tier 8 was either a 7/0 loss or a 7/0 win regardless of my dmg i doubt its dumb luck because i played a lot of games
For reference i averaged 2800 damage and only played SU 130 PM
so i wasnt bad in fact the games i did 4000+ damage were losses and the ones i did less than 3k were literally games so one sided that we win 7/0 and you dont really end up doing damage (44% wr)

# frail silo What do you mean it is a good tank? It def is not, there is much better tanks to...

The fact that there's better tanks doesn't mean that something is good, for example:
IS-7 does medium's tank job way better than E50M because it have the heavy HP, relatively better gun, better turret and stills pretty mobile. E50M isn't bad because IS-7 is better, if you think it's bad then you can find any other reasons.

The armor works, but only works if the player uses the brain to play it.
It's not enough armor to do frontline, so don't do frontline
Stationary targets are easier to get hits on the weakspots, so don't stand still if someone is aiming to you
You know some heavies have OP prammo pen, so don't peek when you know there's a heavy aiming to you
These are simple things that makes your armor works WAY better.

About the precision, the aim time isn't bad and neither the aim circle, the main problem is the bloom. Don't move your gun sharply and neither shot while moving, then the bloom won't bother you.

scarlet fjord

i like to use a trick where i aim ahead of time before shooting someone
like for example predicting when and where they will pop i will sometimes pre aim there or
if I'm going 50

# unique scaffold Nerf heavy hp and spotting range and give TD's more hp

I think that the heavy HP can be balanced if you add a balancing factor, I used to purpose a wide view range nerf in most of heavies and all super heavies, only lettinng away a few exceptions like heaviums.
Some heavies aren't bad (are actually good) at spotting for simple reasons:

  • Can reach safely the frontline, where most of other heavies are.
  • They have armor, so if they get spotted just turn on the "Anyways, let me continue what I'm doing" button.
  • Big HP pool, so if they get a shot just turn on the "Anyways, let me continue what I'm doing" button.
  • They are baits for campers. When a camper shots, it loses the concealment bonus, which makes it easier to spot.

I don't think that nerfing the HP after serious view range buffs Nerfs (misspell) is necessary, playing semi-passively will be the key to win against a heavy.
Also, buffing TDs HP in general is a bad idea.

The Jpanther has a decent amount of armor beside the gun. And it has mobility. Use that to avoid shots when you can, or hide the lower half and expose just the top half that is stronger. You’ll get a few bounces. If not that, try to let your team take the hits and you do your damage when the enemy is on a reload. Sniping can work too. If you’re doing it right you should have some cover to retreat into or some bush to prevent you getting spotted at all

Jpanther2 is a tank that has a lot o playstyles possible, if you cant get one of the playstyles to work for you then go for the other ones. Jpanther2 has a nice gun, 3k dpm with 460alpha, it shreds thru things, if you arent that great at managing reloads and seeing when and where to shoot then snipe with it, you'll still do great. If you are able to manage the reload's, and you know where your armor will work then you can play it aggro, its way more dangerous that way, but it isnt dangerous to you only, the enemies also have to be carefull,cuz if they stay infront of you for too long they will melt.

I play Tankenstein sometimes, and I often don't care if smasher out-DPMs it with alpha too, it's fun to play such a gimmicky gun with pAP with good penetration still, while having extra damage, though it's still out-DPMed by Smasher, at least it has armor.

Buffing the hull armor to 250mm is unnecessary, people still go for the lower plate, the turret is definitely loaded with weakpoints, and the only buff I believe it should have is a turret cheek buff, up to 180mm/200mm.

Or buff the traverse speed, gladly being slower than Maus'

# fathom glacier Do you always play only with tankenstein? I don’t play only t7. Just t8-10. you ...

not always compared to Annihilator spammers, I want to play my tanks that gather dust eventually, even for birthdays but the inbalance is just terrible

@nimble zodiac , when was the last patch they even reviewed it, just flew under the radar after update 5.0-5.5

@azure quest @mental pasture
so you guys don't care if annihilator is totally recking T7? plus Tankenstein is rarely played, definitely needs a rework of some kind as a counter to spammers

idk what my WN8 is in it, but it's a terrible tank across the board compared to every other heavy that has been touched, exception being the AMX that is getting a nerf in the most unexpected of updates

Why making Tankenstein to a really good tank? It's just a tank for fun like Tog II or Su100Y. These Tanks shouldn't be extremly good(Ik Su100y is really punishing on t6 bc of the alpha but it is easy to outplay too)

Better option, instead of checking #game-news, I'll just send it here

"So you're comparing an OP tank with a balanced one to justify buffs that aren't necessary at all?
There's already a counter for Annihilator in tier 7, it's T29 and look up, it stills a threat (actually now there's another threat, which is T29 too).

Buffing another tank won't resolve the tier 7 problem, it'll make it worse. Apparently you don't want Tankenstein to be buffed because It's current stats, but only because you want to counter only 1 tank even if this will affect much more tanks.

Buff ideology sucks, if nowadays we have to fight a Maus with more than 3k HP it's because of noobs that couldn't play heavies correctly and demanded buffs."

Also, Tankenstein was buffed relatively recently due to the heavy HP buff

That's exactly the same HP buff that helped to ruin the tier 7 and made Maus have more than 3k HP.

I disagree that T29 is a Anni counter. The gun is too unreliable. Feels like shooting with a driving KV2. There are better Anni counters like IS2 1945, Tiger I, BP, Type 62,...

Oh it has armor, it's just not angled at all like JPan II's

# tidal palm Is the jpanther2 more armour than Ferdinand

Technically yes. Ferdinand have 200mm in the hull and in the casemate, but if I recall correctly the Jagdpanther 2's casemate have 250mm effective armor, but the hull have 150mm.

@azure quest I disagree about the little Ferdy, it can troll some fools and block tier 7 shots. If it was properly angled then it'd become a real Maus.

Also, T29 is an Annihilator counter but not because of the gun. T29 have enough hull armor to block Annihilator AP and the turret is impenetrable even for AP.
T29 also have the OP consumables, sandbags, it's fairly faster because of the consumables and in therms of precision at long range the T29 is superior than Annihilator.

teal crystal

T29 is one of the few tanks that counters it, forget it when Annihilator loads prammo and you forget the sandbags lol

at range it can be easy to pick off, but then again, forget it if you get ambushed by it, 600-700hp gone in .99 seconds

Jpanther can counter it, so can Chi-to SPG, but I don't play those tanks frequently unless they have birthdays that come up in my feed

I'll take my WN8 in all tanks except Annihilator and keep an eye on my own weekly WN8 disparaties, but calling it rn that Smasher is next to annihilator and Tankenstein comes lat, T29 3rd, Tiger I and AMX M4 49 I need to buy again for experimental reasons Tiger P as well
I need about 3 heavies to buy back

azure quest
#

It's nearly impossible to not pen Ferdi. I've played the tank several times in tours just to Troll around and bounces were really rare. The tank can't angle and will def not become Maus. T29 is still harder to handle in a battle than Anni. Anni will smash your Team. Meanwhile you have to struggle with the gun handling

Chrysler K has unnecessary advantage. Average ammo capacity for tier 8 is like 40 yet Chrysler K has 100 ammo capacity. Most probably, the reason why it is so is that WG copied this tank directly from WoT PC. This tank has advantage for ammo capacity in PC version because there are larger map and matches are 15vs15. But for Blitz, this advantage is nothing. So I recommend that something should be done for this tank like they can increase penetration instead of ammo capacity so that this tank will be balanced.

Gun handling is really important for any tank. Without a reliable gun you can't abuse your dpm and you are forced to fight in close range. But you can't use your strong turret in every position and carrying with this gunhandling seems difficult too

With the ridiculous armor profile the t29 has, you can safely fully aim each shot. Compared to peeking for the minimum amount of time and snapping a shot off, its gonna be much more accurate than most tanks.

drowsy plaza
#

Biggest issue (beyond the HP and Armor fiascos in tier 7) is that the 3.8 Equipment system totally boned several tier 7 meds.

#

Less DPM - other clowns now get VSTAB too, and you are dealing with more armor, more accurate, further seeing, more mobile (than pre 3.8) heavies with now more HP and More Armor.

#

While that applies above as well. It was most noticeable in tier 7 (and the Sherman’s in 6) as VSTAB wasn’t universal to all tanks in those tiers (and not on TD at all until 3.H8)

@teal crystal You clearly don't know how broken T29 is in it's actual form just because it doesn't shot 3x210.

@azure quest Kinda yes, usually T7 mediums means only 3 things: DPM, precision and sometimes agility (Unless Panther, that thing is arguably the best tier 7 med because of the frontal armor and gun). Some of them even struggle a lot to fight even other mediums (Y5 Elc Bis moment).

Let's also memtion that most of tier 7 heavies aren't slugs, iirc the only exception is Black Prince which will get faster on the next update.
Why would you ever want to play a medium if Tiger 1 does the medium tank job but better?

No T29 player need to be unicum in order to counter Annihilator, all you need is a small ridge. A ridge with half a meter already works well, but if it have more than 1 meter then it's perfect.

I didn't ask if you saw more annihilators being bots or how old is your account, I'm saying that I'm tired about noobs asking for buffs because they want to have something as OP as Annihilator.
If you took the 'noob' part personally, it's not my fault. I wasn't targeting this to you.

Now, if you allow me, I'll play a bit of WT. You can wait patiently for WG to buff Tankenstein unnecessarily in order to counter an OP tank. Why not more OP vehicles in order to counter something that already exist? Think about it. Adeus! (good bye, but in portuguese).

I believe that heavies can be balanced with that HP because for every buff,there should be a drawback.
It's simple, You must know that heavies are divided by 3 sub classes (Super heavies, heavies and heaviums), then widely the view range among super heavies and heavies. I stated why do it and the benefits of this nerf a lot of times in #tank-balance-discussion. Scroll up and you'll learn why heavies and super heavies should be "blind shields".

Well, That's an end. I'll be playing M4A3 105, bye.

The chimera heavily caters towards average players. It's got HP, troll armour even on the hull for when you make mistakes, food enough mobility for an average player and a gun that's very forgiving and has the alpha and pen and depression to compensate for a lot. Quite a few of its advantages aren't really abusable to a good player so at the higher end of skills it's down to personal preference, that's why you don't see the rise in the right hand of the graph in blue but you do in grey.

On the other hand the 34-2 has a lot less noob friendly features but the aim time, armour and prammo pen help it to shine at the top end for people that like it

Black Prince is rather slow and armored enough for this.
Kv-5 is big enough for this, as for it's weight.
I also woudn't considere T32 as a super heavy because unlike in T29, the hull armor is rather too thin for this in my opinion. Effective 217mm or 194mm after AP normalization is kinda Ferdinand level, But I can't argue that the turret is extremely solid.

I accept T29 as super heavy.

The superheavy playstyle is just being able to survive under fire, and be a wall to the enemy team. The t32, 29, and kran all get this job done exceptionally well, they just require a tiny bit of a hill to do it.

I meant that it is not balancing factor for Blitz, so something should be done (buff) so that this tank will become more balanced COMPARE TO PC. Imagine that you bring tank from PC to Blitz, for other tank properties like penetration or engine power, you can directly copy these properties or slightly changed from PC 'cause these properties are balancing factor for both games. But if there is a property that is not balancing factor for both game, then another balancing factor should be change so that tank would be balanced.

@limpid halo Always look for ways to hide your hull, such as utilising the 10 degrees of gun depression on a ridgeline. The hull isn’t great and you won’t be bouncing much with it, so you want to always try and hide it.

Avoid being a typical heavy and trying to frontline and take superheavies head on, it doesn’t do great there. You want to be using the mobility to take up different positions or support a part of the team, such as going with your mediums for example

Honestly it doesn't really need it, it's standard pen is plenty enough for almost every situation. If it had prammo it would either be practically worthless to carry, or so high pen it was broken. The only possible thing that might be useful would be to give it something like 460/420/600 and make sure it's prammo wasn't much of a pen boost over normal AP, but that's too much to ask from WG to get right.

Funny how I have the is 7 and haven’t gotten ammo racked yet. But I think the is 7 could use some buffs. Not armor buff, armors great against meds and troll against heavies. No but i mean buff it’s gun and mobility.
Mobility I think increasing its engine power to 1150 or 1200 like on the PC might good and it would increase its acceleration.and buffing it’s turret and and hull traverse wouldn’t be too bad. Srsly for a tank that has a better engine and P2W ratio and it having a slower turn around is bad. Maybe giving it the same turn speed or a bit more

It’s gun deserves a buff in pen. Standard should be increased to 265 and the apcr to 335. And I would like to see it’s damage to from 260 to 280 and he damage from 600 to 620 like on the amx m4 mle 54. And maybe transfer the damage to the obj 263 since they both have the same gun caliber of 130mm

I pen IS-7 a lot of time in that spot with big guns and I just once got an ammorack. Maybe you people are unlucky or I am just unlucky to get that juicy hp number.

But if for example the wg did as on wot PC and transformed the m48 patton into m48 a5 patton? Obviously this would result in an increase in turret armor, and in my opinion it would make this tank more balanced

I wouldn't mind IS-4 nerf but WG should then remove it's side weakpoint that is making IS-4 unusable to sidescare if people know where to shoot. Also E5 is underperforming right now if E5 is not using consumables. Tbh E5 is pretty dead from meta right now. I am rarely seeing that tank and if I can see it. Then tank is easy to pen. Maybe meds find it hard but against other heavies it's different story.

E5 is meta idk man

Actually you are right. I came back to E5. I remember why I liked the tank. That gun tho I don't find it hard to fight against E5. E5 is one of more balanced heavies if you ask me. You always have room to punish since turret ain't strong enough to compete with IS-7 chieftain and so on.

If you ask me now is autoloader meta. I see them every time I play tier X. M AMX T57 Kran. Game can't go without 2-3 of them in a match.

E5 is most definitely meta, you see it all the time in tier ten, particularly in tournaments as well.
What E5 just doesn’t need is the special consumables it gets, and the Chieftain turret isn’t that great, and an easier turret to deal with than an E5’s.

Good thing that WG overbuffed AT 15A armor. Always special treatment to premiums. You just need enough people to ask for a buff and then overbuff the hell out of it because it's a premium. WG doesn't know what buff means. They only know what overbuffing something means.

Which tank has 330mm pen at tier VII. Please enlighten me and even if one does for some reason like it matter that only one has it. Also we only look at it's tier and tier above. What above tier below? Armor is almost impossible to pen after the buff if you are not ARL and tank has double or even more then half of dpm then any other tier VI on average. If I see everything red on a tank then something is wrong there and if people think that it's fine then I honestly don't know. Do you want every buff to be red armor everywhere? This is just making for tiers below to be less enjoyable to play. AT should have weakness other then cupola because it's not big and with now poor accuracy tanks at that tier have it's not an easy target to hit consistently while also AT can hit you 2-3 times before you can even fully aim. It's dumb and I will never support this kind of balance changes. If you all think that this is fair I gotta say you can't complain about heavy tank hp buffs.

Just shoot gold is not a solution. Only some tier VII got gold that can pen it. Tier VI can dream on. Ofc I will use gold but that's a stupid way to buff a tank.

Hello, in this channel we talk about what changes should be made to tanks in order to balance the game

@unique scaffold Gravedigger performs terribly in tier 8, but greatly in tier 6, which is a good spot for tier 7, because that's how the tiers should be

It helps to compare a tank to another in its tier, because it's (supposed to be) always stronger than a tank a tier below

VK has the lowes survival rate of all heavies in tier X. Also I didn't ask for E100 buff. Tank is on a stronger side. And no VK needs some sort of the buff to it's armor. It can't sidescrape nor can it go hull down and if Vk shows it's lower plate everyone will load gold and that will be it.

I honestly think that buffing VK dome shape of the turret and body to 180mm should be a good buff without making tank too strong but harder to pen and less annoying to play.

@outer glen and that should be the only weak point? Good logic you got there. Also how is heavy supposed to go around AT. I see only using medium logic. Again good logic presented.

T95 has more weak spots then AT compared tier for tier. Also commanders hatch is 150mm and most tier VI tanks got 160mm of pen or less. Yeah completely balanced buff.

AT 15A has more armor then Tortoise. Just flank it is an dumb excuse that only sounds good on paper but can't be essealy don't in reality. You know tier X heavies are too strong to face them. You know what we can just flank them. Every heavy can be circled you know so what the problem with heavies? You see how dumb your logic is.

The most irritating thing I find in WoTB, is that the German Tanks have low armor, but in real life they were the most hardest armor to penetrate. The KĂśnigstiger is an example: Hull and turret is fine, but the lower plate is where things go wrong. Even in the Tiger I and other German tanks above tier 7.

Also the down fall of tier 7 German tanks is that the turret if you turn it even the slightest, enemies can easily pen it, even if it's direct at the incoming shell firing. The hull IS ok... But it's not that ok for much tanks as they also can pen it like butter.

Tiger I is at the moment in an overbuffed armor state. It used to have 80-100mm of frontal armor you know?

Honestly Kran should get or 12 degree or mobility buff. Moving in kran is so annoying so at least when Kran is in position it should be good at. AMX 50 B is not a hull down tank but has better gun depression. Kran is sacrificing mobility and gun handling alongside dpm and still doesn't even have good enough gun depression to support supposedly ment hull down turret. At least they should try giving it and if tank turn out to be way stronger they can always nerf it back. It's not a premium but WG never fails to overbuff premiums. Don't they dare try making a heavy what that heavy was supposed to be.

I kinda disagree with a few parts of it.
Reduce pen in T49 is... weird to say the least. It that you purpose it to have AP, but it's not worth in my view.
No higher damage is necessary on it, if I recall correctly, there's only 2 vehicles that have spall liner in T8

I kinda need to be the "devil's attorney" now, but in Annihilator you click once and shot 3 times. Taking 3 seconds to shot all the shells without the control to stop is... kinda too much.

Lack of people playing certain tank doesn't mean it's balanced.

Well maybe they don't want to reintroduce derp guns into lower tiers but one thing sure is clear. From tier I-IV all tanks are trash and boring to play with zero diversity. Also with removal of gold ammo from tier I all bullet based tanks are complete garbage that pen less then bounce. Hetzer loosing it's derp gun completely killed the tank. T82 once a fun tank now complete garbage. A-20 with a good autoloading gun removed and now trash. All autoloading guns from collectable tanks nerfed to the ground to the point of being unusable. 5.5 is without a doubt one of the worst patches that WG has ever done. Reverting it to what it used to be is way but way way better then go one line chose nothing and do as we say. Tbh it's better to have seal clubbers then complete trash of tech tree early tiers. Also I am not a seal clubber. One more thing is that I had I think 2-3 tier I tanks because I liked how they looked but 5.5 update WG just removed them from my garage like it was nothing even though I had them. There is not a singe thing that I like about 5.5. They just made the game be dumber with everything be same in low tiers.

All tiers should feel like they are fun to play. I don't see logic in WG making it boring for everyone who have higher tiers. You used to be able to go in bottom tier and still have fun but killing the joy really was a stupid decision by WG. Yeah maybe Hetzer hit people hard but they will learn earlier to respect gun calibers and damage that they do so later when they reach higher tiers it's not out of nowhere that something hard hit them and much later do they figure out that there are different guns in this game. Most people in tier V and VI are completely clueless since they never saw bigger caliber guns before or got no idea how to respect damage since from tier I-IV everything hit them the same. Game is poisoned with bad players from tier I-VI. 5.5 is terrible patch.

"Well maybe they don't want to reintroduce derp guns into lower tiers but one thing sure is clear. From tier I-IV all tanks are trash and boring to play with zero diversity." Ok, you're not supposed to learn a lot from them anyways.

"Also with removal of gold ammo from tier I all bullet based tanks are complete garbage that pen less then bounce" Ok, you're not supposed to be playing more than 5 battles in tier 1

"Hetzer loosing it's derp gun completely killed the tank" it stills the best TD in tier 4

"5.5 is without a doubt one of the worst patches that WG has ever done." if you're a seal clubber, then yes.

"Tbh it's better to have seal clubbers then complete trash of tech tree early tiers" Well, the low tiers aren't the conception of trash

It takes less than 100 battles to reach tier 5, less than 250 battles to reach tier 6 and less than 1000 battles to reach tier 7. It may have a difference of the number of battles, but no newbie learns in less than 2.000 battles. 100 more or 100 less battles don't make a difference in practice

Long grind =/= good method to teach

@winged barn Well, wanting or not, there needs to be a grind and tier 1-5. It doesn't necessarily means that this grind need to be long.

"Premium time used to actually be rare, now its given out like candy

Boosters... so many boosters...

Its significantly more that just 100 matches when both boosters and premium time are taken into account" Make a reroll accout and check how many premium account, premiums and boosters you get

if they really want the 140 to have a shit turret and a good hull, at least buff the ufp by 10 to 20mm to make it a little bit more reliable and just give it the t62a pen just to make it less troll against some of the heavies

and the rest is fine

@sudden granite, 100 battles don't make a big difference at all. You can make a grind very looooong in a game, but players won't suddenly become super unicums even after 2 weeks.

When I started the game and that was 6+ years ago never did I care about seal clubbers tho I gotta say that making all tiers from I-V to have 100% crew was a good choice by WG. Sadly that's the only good thing about patch 5.5. That pretty much solved the problem of crew disparity in low tiers. Also you can call everyone as seal clubber if they are playing tier I-V. I got a friend who just started the blitz and he hit Tiger II in 7 days. And quess what happened while he was playing tier VII and VIII. He was complaining of how VK and Tiger I did less damage then some other tanks. Ne was clueless of difference in play styles. You get a person to play a tier VIII in less then 7 days and you see this is good thing? He had no clue of different play styles. Leaving same damage tiers and entering tier V and above and then getting slapped by higher alphas sure is pleasant surprise to a clueless player. Patch 5.5 is terrible in all senses expect 100% crew on unlocking. I played a bit low tiers with him and instantly got seal clubber title on Blitz stars. Bruh.

Russian: the tier 2-4 lights are pretty consistent in therms of speed and the BT family does still pretty good (fast paced gun with VERY good penetration, DPM and precision). A-20 Is fast and quite solid, looks more like a medium, the gun isn't that bad tho (fun fact, A-20 big gun used to have an OP HE pen because of a bug). SU-85B simply have the best gun of tier 4, noting else is necessary. The tier 5 are basically 3; T-34 (which was always an under average tank in blitz), KV-1 (used to be OP, but got nerfed and now... it's complicated) and SU-85 (a Obj. 704, but in tier 5)

American: Pretty much the standard low tier experience, unnarmored, agile and pew pew gun. They aren't bad, but it's not the funniest experience, but tier 5 is actually very good tho. Sherman (best medium in the whole tier 5), T1 Heavy (OP super heavy) and Wolverine (Like sherman, but your gun is slightly better and your turret is slower)

Germans: The Panzer 2 does still a funny tank, you may argue "but that gun no is useless!!!1!!111!" but 48mm of pen is workable, not the worst thing in earth. The tier 2 is kinda lacking tbh. Panzer 3 is the true concept of a medium tank but in tier 3, may be the best tier 3 tech tree even in pre 5.5. Hetzer is the best TD, it have a real good gun, armor and agility, meanwhile Panzer 4 D is a true glass cannon. The tier 5 are rather simple: Stug 3 G is the best tech tree TD, Panzer 4 G is pretty decent and Leopard is.. complicated.

Wait a bit, i'll describe other nations in other comment

T32 isn't exactly a frontline vehicle, but just to ask, how many battles he has? @neon hearth

I have a really good friend who just started playing and I had to explain to him that why camping with the TD's in a T32 was a bad idea and that he was supposed to be front line lmao. @mental pasture I was wrong, It was the T34 he just bought it. Never the less, he was a big noob with like 50 battles

#

I'm in a clan and we try to do tournaments. I never considered myself a good player until I saw them. No one knew how to play their tanks, we've got jacksons front line and getting shredded, no one side scraped they just POKED OUT SIDEWAYS ON TOP OF THE HILL IN A TIGER II!!!! AND GOT 2,000 hp taken away in a second by literately everyone. They are nice guys but they suck.

Honestly, I just want a decent, active clan who is a 50%. And maybe do some tournaments (this slowmode is annoying)
Still they should put the tanks back in ngl they were cool
Also, I want the 183 but i don't want to grind the line. I feel like it would be worse then the T110E3 line lmao

# mental pasture Russian: the tier 2-4 lights are pretty consistent in therms of speed and the BT...

As I would continue.
British, Japanese and Pan european nation had much underpowered and average vehicles with a few exceptions like Matilda, Alecto, Ke-ni and... no tier 1-5 in pan european line is minimally interesting. Unfortunately we've lost Sherman V which was actually a nice example of glass cannon.

Chinese: Errrm... It's complicated.

And at last but not least, France: tier 1-3 were always kinda boring, unless the pre 5.5 R35. The tier 4 was (and still) special, Char B1 before recent armor nerf was pog and I'm the only SAu 40 fan. The tier 5 got even better, BDR is OP and Elc Bis is the funniest tier 5 tech tree. None exactly cares about S35 CA.

I still don't care about that. Lower tiers after patch 5.5 are terrible and teach new players nothing. Update is more harmful for the game then positive to entire community. All tiers should be enjoyable to play and not just high tiers because newbies complain for their lack of skill. Solution is not to make everything boring to make less people play low tiers. So many good tanks have been lost because of update 5.5. Too many tanks. Most got overnerfed for no reason but because they are collectable WG doesn't care and they will keep them useless.

Don't worry when they reach tier V they will just drive in front of KV-2 and then complain of KV-2 being broken for oneshoting them. Or get their hp destroyed by SU-100Y.

Pre-5,5 tanks are nothing but nostalgic
I agree, I miss them too, it was fun to play with them, but the update was for the best to help retain new players and prevent seal-clubbers like this to play low tiers more than high
Even if 5,5 tanks were brought back, everyone would play them for a week or so and then they hype would die out (except for seal-clubbers ofc)
The update was for the better

T82 anyone?

T82 at the moment does half of it's original damage plus it can pen nothing with HE and you have to spam gold in order to pen people but gold only does damage of Hetzer or lower while having a lot longer reload and having nothing that you could think of as the accuracy. T82 suffered the most after 5.5 and WG will probably never buff the tank to be even playable.

Tank was mental for oneshoting people before and it was fun to occasionally drive it. Because of it used to have terrible shell velocity you could do silly shots over the ridge and shoot people behind it but not anymore. Tank is pretty much rip right now.

honestly Kranvagn IS-4 E5 and to an extent even maus when you platoon double maus its too influential to the game WG can you nerf these heavies
at least fix the insane 374 HEAT spam and nerf something else on them as well its different for every tank but u can nerf IS-4 mobility or nerf hp's remove op speed boost from E5 and make its lower plate slightly weaker the upper half of it i mean etc

dawn karma

Plz dont @ devs/employees if all you're saying is buff your favorite tank and nerf the tank you hate/ tank you cant get. Its just pure cringe bro!

candid steeple

E5 is nto broken. IS-4 hull gets destroyed by gold. Kranvagen is not broken and has serious issues with terrible low dpm and mobility that can only be regarded good when you use that busted booster so you can at least treverse the Kran.

Also if heavies are getting armor nerf I would also like for meds with broken turrets to be nerfed. Meds shouldn't be able to just look at you while you can't pen them or need extreme amount of rng luck to hit the spots while they can gold spam you with ease. VK 72 is demolished by medium spam into the turret. They got accuracy and 160mm of armor wont do a thing against gold spam. If heavy armor is getting nerfed then mediums should get some penalty too.

Only tank that I think that is due for a nerf is Maus. That tank is idiot proof after hp buff and buff to it's front hull corners buff. When you see double Maus toon no one in opposite team is happy to see that.

Also for IS-4. I only regard that tank as troublesome when it's hull down but at that times I just ignore the tank and look somewhere else. IS-4 hull is overrated and mostly by med players since they think that just looking at exposed hull should be an easy pen even though lower plate exposed is always a guaranteed pen and mediums don't lack in accuracy department.

Also almost all heavies got 370mm of heat pen and mediums should not expect that they can just look at heavy and not get punished for that. We won't mention that meds still can pen other meds with gold in most turrets so why cry about more pen when heavies need more pen to fight against other heavies.

scarlet fjord
#

its literally heavy meta why do u think we should nerf meds after nerfing heavies the literal problem is heavies are over influencing and i never said they were broken there isnt a tier 10 tank that is broken not even T22 is broken its armor is op but the heavies i mentioned i stated they were "too influential" kranvagn uses the op speed boost and gets to its spot and can basically shoot and not get penned unless HE spam or HO-RI would be running calibrated shells for some reason
IS-4 is problematic in every situation because of its amazing armor suited for every situation and 2800 hp's meds struggle dealing with it Maus is the least problematic for me personally even though its 3k HP's its just a moron proof tank u can deal with it its slow i can flank it even with heavies like IS-7's
E5 has (MEDIUM TANK) level power to weight ratio and top speed with op speed boost on and has 2800 DPM with 340 HEAT that can butter through every med turret no need to pray to RNG specially if he's the type to run CS @candid steeple

why are the guns 05 and 183 different? the 05 should have the same gun as the 183 because they have the same gun in actuality

the 05 is designed to be the most powerful tank in ww2 so the 05 should have a 183

if the 05 had a 183, same statistics of shells as the 183 then the 05 can have better gun handling than the 183 because the 05 is more agile than the 183

it would be same gun, different playstyle

the 05 has 3 460 alpha shots from a 123 gun which i feel like the damage of the 05 falls behind the 183 on average which is disappointing to me because i like the 05 more than i like the 183 as the 05 is more agile, has better gun handling and they both have the same gun a 183 with the same statistics of shell on wotc and wot pc and the 05 is different in wotb

the mobility of the 05 is good and useful but the 05 is a tall tank and it has the reputation of being dangerous and deadly and even more deadly and dangerous than the 183 sometimes because the 05 has better gun handling, can rotate turret fully (05 stage 2) and is more agile than the 183 means that people target the 05 more but with 3 460 alpha shots and 3s intra clip reload may make it difficult to deal the large amount of damage that people think of when they think of the 05 and 183 and being a tall tank means you can take more damage while you dish out the shells because its an autoloader with w 3s reload

you guys are fine with the 05 at its state currently or what?

or maybe you guys wanted to make the 183 most deadly and dangerous tank in the game

IS-4 is an annoying tank to push in meds, especially in these that are lower to the ground, like the russian and chinese meds. If the IS-4 is skilled enough to angle properly and they've hidden their small lower plate and you're not using cali, you're somewhat doomed unless it doesn't have support and you can push it without getting deleted. I don't think it's overpowered, it does have pretty bad traverse but it's still a very solid tank overall, which is clearly shown through the charts.

I would argue IS-4 going where meds usually go in any map is just a pain to deal with, it's not impossible but it feels a little too easy for the IS-4 driver.

Counless rng bounces on the rear too but that's just my curse.
