#Object 477A “Molot”

broken bolt
#

Me and others have said this many times but I didn’t post it as a feedback, so here it is.

The 477 is broken and overpowered, it requires minimum skill to play and it’s basically impenetrable from the front, not to mention the side and even the rear has armor as well. The armor alone makes this thing OP and I don’t want to talk about the gun, it’s just ridiculous.

I know the nerf probably won’t happen but as a player who loves playing this game and has spent hundreds of dollars on it, I think it’s my duty to let WG know what me and other players think about the game, in this case, the 477A.

Here are my ways to fix it so it doesn’t break era 3 but not too weak:

  1. Make the entire lower plate penetrable

  2. Pen nerf : 900/180 -> 720/150

WG, please listen to us, thank you.

Why the damage nerf?

broken bolt
#

It’s damage nerf or pen nerf

#

Damage because it hits too hard

#

Pen because it allows RbRt

lethal badger
#

It does less damage than 152mm guns in era 1 and 2

broken bolt
#

You know what I’ll change it

#

There you go

#

It’s still pretty strong even after the nerf

#

The pen allows RbRt

paper karma
#

You can RB/RT any tank

#

It’s all RNG based

Pretty sure everyone has figured the Molot out by this point.

If it's a distance or face hugging you spam HE at its upper plate.
If your gun is over 120mm you can overmatch the sides entirely.
If it's alone get round the sides and behind it (everyone should know by now not to shoot the front half of the sides).
Keep it tracked.

It's really not as op as you think squirrel. The way more broken vehicle for general matchmaking is the Wiesel Tow and I see you in that all the time 😆

#

You can’t rip apart a Molot if you have a clue what you’re doing in the Wiesel

golden phoenix
#

Molot is a walk in the park compared to a good Wiesel Tow player

hollow fractal
#

The lower plate should be reliably penable.

I'm indifferent about the penetration nerf, the Tank would still be great after the nerf, but leaving the gun as is while nerfing the armor would be fine with me as well

broken bolt
#

Molot has insane armor. Easier said than done.

#

The problem I have with the Molot is the armor. The pen doesn’t really matter but the armor needs to be adjusted.

golden phoenix

#

Only that one pixel

golden phoenix
#

The obvious answer is don't attack a Molot head on

Hardly

broken bolt
#

It has the best armor in the game

#

And I’m not even exaggerating

golden phoenix
#

It has terrible traverse and a semi traversable turret if your sitting Infront of it trying to fight it your doing it wrong

golden phoenix
broken bolt
#

A good molot player will know to face you with their front

golden phoenix

#

Where the reactive armour is

broken bolt
#

That’s still the best armor in the whole game

golden phoenix
#

The rest of the sides is overmatch to anything 120mm and above

#

You name any tank that has better armor then the molot

What if I’m not in the Wiesel

What if I’m in the Abrams

#

@golden phoenix Be careful with your reactions.

mossy raft
#

In honesty era 3 is ruined by the weasel tow nd molot

broken bolt
#

And it ruins era 3

mossy raft
#

U have a whole platoon of 3 of molots nd weasel tows on 1 team they gonna win the game

#

It’s just dat simple

broken bolt
#

To be honest I would prefer to face 1 Wiesel than 1 Molot

golden phoenix
#

Molot is strong in a the hands of a good player. Any average joe in a Wiesel can do very well

broken bolt
mossy raft
#

the weasel doesn’t require skill u can hide all game nd come out wit 8k damage just by dam sniping people wit rockets

#

The lil camo rating u have to where nobody can’t see u the RNG to the rockets

golden phoenix
#

Anyone who thinks the Wiesel requires skill is beyond help

broken bolt
#

I have 3,000 games in the Wiesel and I can tell you you can’t do that

mossy raft
#

Yall nerfed the Bradly but u turn around nd put the weasel tow in it’s just as worse the Bradly was

golden phoenix
#

But not surprising the squirrel is always in his Wiesel

mossy raft
#

3k in a weasel tow is crazy bruh

broken bolt
golden phoenix
#

I feel sorry for Bradley players

broken bolt
#

Me too

mossy raft
#

The 477 is definitely OP

broken bolt
#

They always get bullied by 477s

golden phoenix
mossy raft
#

Another op tank is the 292 why is hitting for almost 800 a shot when the MTB70 can barely pin

broken bolt
#

You can just sit there and RbRt

#

I have seen many guys do that

golden phoenix

#

The Wiesel certainly also needs a nerf, but that doesn't mean that the 477A doesn't.

292 is a little OP I would say, but it’s not 477 level

The games come down to weasel tows and 477 now like wat the hell

#

Not even just saying it I win atleast 8/10 times against a Molot in my Wiesel with ease

broken bolt
#

They are but it doesn’t mean the 477 is balanced

golden phoenix
#

1300 damage per atgm
invisible
90+ kmh
And can spot
And is tiny

Never challenge frontally it’s not hard track force their repair track and circle

broken bolt
#

They turn faster then you circle them

golden phoenix
#

I always laugh when I see a dude in a Molot get bum rushed by half a team

broken bolt
#

Also they have something called teammates

paper karma
#

Abused the range mechanic 🤣

golden phoenix

They have teammates

#

This thread is about the 477

paper karma
#

Yeah and we’re telling you it’s easy to get rid of

broken bolt
#

How

mossy raft
#

Hell can’t even enjoy a era 3 game cuz u gotta watch a invisible tank come up behind u nd hit u wit a rocket up the azz for 1300 damage then u have the 477 yolo u shooting the lil machine gun at you 😂 come on man it’s ridiculous

broken bolt
#

Yeah but to someone’s logic the 477 is easy to kill

paper karma
broken bolt
#

Doesn’t mean it’s not broken

mossy raft
#

Just need to nerf both of them

broken bolt
#

Yeah

paper karma
#

If anything the Wiesel needs a health buff

mossy raft
#

Simple they nerf every other tank y not nerf the 2 most op tanks in era 3 heck yall nerfed the FV in era 2

hollow fractal
#

Nobody is saying that you can't kill a Molot, most of us destroyed many of them regularly. However they are still stronger than all the other Era 3 vehicles, with exception of the Wiesel

paper karma
broken bolt
#

The 477 makes the FV4211 looks like paper

mossy raft
#

2 different eras

hollow fractal
mossy raft
#

Honestly the fv could be a early era 3 tank

broken bolt
#

The 477 is definitely not easy to kill, let’s admit that

golden phoenix
broken bolt
#

Doesn’t mean it’s not broken

golden phoenix
#

Broken is when something is extremely strong even when a not very good player can do very very well aka the Wiesel

paper karma
mossy raft
#

And yet a weasel tow nd 477 can turn the tide of a late game

mossy raft
#

Y cuz one is invisible just about and the other can’t be penned if it’s in the hands of the right player

paper karma
broken bolt
#

1 Wiesel doesn’t impact the game as much as 1 molot

mossy raft
paper karma
broken bolt
#

But if there’s 5 Wiesels per team (as it is now) then it ruins era 3

paper karma
#

Including the Molot from behind

mossy raft
#

Hell 1 weasel tow can ruin a game

  1. Devs add broken vehicles into game
  2. Players beg devs to balance game
  3. Devs add more broken vehicles into game

....

At some point u have to ask urself: what is enough and should u just stop playing this broken mess and have peace of mind

broken bolt
#

This is the last time I will suggest them to nerf the Molot lol

#

Don’t think they’ll do that

mossy raft
#

Nerf it

paper karma
#

They’ll never nerf it because there’s so many players that are awful in it so it’s not over achieving

Give the M1A1/M1A2 Abrams and other MBT's a HE round instead of the near useless HEAT round. There is one available for NATO 120mm guns.

That would allow them to at least do SOME damage to a Molot frontally. Not a lot but maybe enough to slow them down.

dim crag
#

Simply nerf the molot it's that simple

crimson trench
dim crag
#

Lol

dim crag
#

And before you say heat can pen the front reliably it cant

#

Neither can atgms

crimson trench
#

Giving more tanks HE would help. Would it be enough? I don't know.

dim crag
paper karma

crimson trench
#

You start to run into ammo count limitations as well. Non-penetrating HE might do half damage at best compared to AP. So it takes a lot of ammo and shots.

dim crag
#

Many tanks can be reliably penned

paper karma
#

🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

hollow fractal
dim crag
#

If you can't reliably pen most tanks in era 3 you have a skill issue

crimson trench
#

I watched the Tankfest Stream where Plague was discussing the Molot. The Molot was designed to be near impenetrable frontally. It is working as designed.

Giving HE rounds to more tanks be the ONLY option.

paper karma
#

It’s not rocket science

dim crag
#

The team with the most 477s wins

#

You can't say the same about any other tank in the game

paper karma

1 molot on either team almost secures victory either by cap or kills

It really does

#

Also notice I said ALMOST secures victory proving you don't know how to read

paper karma
dim crag

Lmfao again you can't read

paper karma

It’s not hard to take out if you sit in front of a Molot you’re brain dead it’s that simple

#

Track and move it’s not hard

dim crag

You can't hold a civil convo without insults

paper karma

Dude 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

dim crag
#

Not an insult haha that's allowed in the server

#

Calling people "brain dead" is an actual insult to anyone

#

If you can't say anything without insulting someone personally then why are you here, because how do you know what kind of disabilities people have and when your throwing insults like that to people you may be hurting someone with a certain condition, so before you start throwing hurtful insults to people stop and think

paper karma
dim crag
#

Sometimes you don't have a choice

#

When it can move as fast as most heavies

#

Or if you push a side that has the 477s and it ends up being to late to turn back

By saying it's super easy to kill and it's not op isn't defending it hmm

golden phoenix

I said the opposite

#

I said it's very hard to kill

dim crag

Especially when played by good players

dim crag

But yes it's a very strong good tank

dim crag

It's op/broken

golden phoenix

It's unbalanced for sure broken nah

#

Wiesel that is broken

dim crag

It's strong

#

Not broken

golden phoenix

Omg I can't believe your defending the Wiesel

#

The heresy

dim crag

We can use your logic against you

dim crag

Nope just using your logic

You are

#

So is your buddy

You think an average player can't do good in it which is wrong

And the 477 in the hands of a great player can’t be killed

If I cared about my stats I wouldnt sit in the Molot spamming he on auto cannon rinsing my penetration percentage 🤣

Who would have known a Molot nerf would be so controversial 💀

Okay mate u have fun thinking that

#

In the hands of a of a decent player it’s a hard tank to challenge but so is any tank

dim crag
#

"It's hard to kill when a good player plays it" meaning to you when an average player plays it It's easy to kill

mossy raft
#

Bruh I already stated in the hands of a super unicrum the 477 would be unkillable

#

But the average player isn’t gonna make the plays to keep them self alive

#

They gonna get over confident and die

Y would I mess wit 477 if I don’t have hesh or he or can’t get around it

dim crag

Well your insinuating a smart player would no matter what

mossy raft
#

I never said that all smart players do dat tho

paper karma
#

What’s the average damage a Molot player should be doing then

dim crag
#

My point is when you can't do either of those things the 477 is beyond broken but nobody agrees

mossy raft
#

Some players don’t think like that

We talked about it earlier

Go scroll up way up earlier this morning

dim crag

One thinks it's super easy to kill it

#

And the other thinks it's super easy when an average player plays it

mossy raft
#

It is super easy to kill if u a good player and know where to shoot it

#

It’s not a tank for a average player tho

dim crag
#

And that's the problem most players are average

paper karma

#

And there’s nothing wrong with that

Not everyone is a sweaty try hard who cares way to much about their stats like fusions or nero

I’m pretty sure they don’t care bout stats

Yeah true but it's not an actual insult like yours and neros

If your actually insulted by try hard that says alot about you

paper karma

#

Yeah says you

Keep living in your world where the 477 is easy to kill and not op and the rest of us who don't think that will live in reality

Never gonna happen they’re easy to get in a Wiesel

#

@golden phoenix this is a prime example of a Wiesel player vs dumb 477’s

broken bolt
plain blade
#

They really aren’t. The Wiesel can more easily hit the LFP, but any mbt can attack the sides/rear/wheels effectively. The thing you can’t do is “sit in front of it” and expect much in the way of results, unless you have missiles/heat and a shot at the LFP

#

And the drive wheels are giant squishy corners if you get almost any angle at all with other ammo. (Tracks will eat atgm or heat there)

# paper karma Skill issue

True, everyone claiming that the 477A and Wiesel don't need nerfs, has apparently a skill issue and needs those OP tanks in order to still feel good

paper karma
#

Don’t know how many of you have actually read this thread clearly none of you as I’ve already agreed that the Wiesel needs to be nerfed for its turning and camo and the Molot nerfing in every way

#

It’s not hard to understand that they need nerfing but how long have they been out and how long have people been crying over it just saying wargaming has never listened to its player base they aren’t gonna start now so just suck it up and deal with it or stop playing which is what they’re basically saying as there’s not even a mention about making changes/balances to either tank.
