#I’m quite worried about the game balance…

Hi all.

The title says everything. I’m quite worried about the introduction of some of the recent tanks and the lack of apparent balancing by the developers.

The latest tank, the Nightstalker, seems to be completely broken. Not for the slightly odd aiming characteristic (rockets go up then toward the opponent instead of toward the reticle) that Petty360 showed in his video but for the fact the tank is a purchasable tank and is massively overpowered.
The armour is pretty good and way better than the recent Kanon Tier X that was added whilst having almost twice the dpm. I just cannot understand why they thought a tank that could do nearly 1,600 damage, reload in 16 seconds then do the same again was a good idea!

This was the reason I stopped playing tanks 2-3 years back only returning 3 months ago; the lack of consistency and balance.

This will ruin tier 8 and 7 games as it will literally delete any tank without 330mm of front armour instantly…which is all of them. I really cannot see any downsides to this tank. It’s a better armoured pre-nerf waffle with better armour and stealth a tier lower! Absolute insanity to think this is fine!

My suggestion is to remove the tank immediately from sale and balance it. If it has 4,800dpm and good armour, the pen should be atrocious…200mm and 280mm for example. If it keeps the damage and dpm, make it out of paper! How it is now is just plain stupid!

Rant over! My apologies.

if you want to make it scarier its 1920 damage in 10 seconds, reload can go down to about 14.2 seconds. So in about 34 seconds it could put out 3840 damage. Aka can kill a Maus in about 28 seconds..

I dont see how this vehicle can be pushed by really anything that cant clip it out or face hug it.

Three of these in a platoon would be devastating

I was going to moan about this as well. These amateurs are destroying the game with every update, death by a thousand updates.

You say that, but have you tried to actually play it? It's not terribly fun to run. It doesn’t pen half the time on even or up tier, and it’s hell to aim, regardless of the off-sight bug.

I'm quite worried about the game itself, its on hands of drunk or assumed imbecile devs. Idk how such things are being released, how they are being approved and who is the genius behind all this

#

Yes, its a genius with no quotes, bcs this game is becoming a cellphone game, and still manages to be allowed to be played on consoles

#

Its the same thing then getting Clash Royale for console

#

Supercell must be jealous

Simple case of Pay to Win probably. But I won't be playing Era 2 anymore in PVP mode.

play tier 6s and bellow, there is a nice balance out there, ofc with some exceptions

#

Seal club players, WG must learn with their mistakes

Era 1 (despite the horrible tank type Match Making) is O.K. for now. I rarely play above Tier 7 in WWII mode as its pointless gaming for me at least.

Yep, the tank type MM is just plain bad.

Ers2 is lost. To grind a line through era 2 now are no fun.

Dpm is way to high

#

And has great armor to

#

330 pen will go through anything as well

At the moment the game pushes new players into the Cold War experience.

Both are potentially problematic. Both show an escalation in weapon ability beyond many of their counterparts.

It's a op tank

Bad players will make a Taran looks bad, but the tank still absurdly OP

Plz tell me how it's not op

I share the same worry, saw a Maus at tier 9 that have WT ausf E 100 clip and also have TD camouflage, there is much to be concerned in fact

@inland acorn - any chance you would be able to escalate this issue with the team? Honestly, the only people I can think that will say "it's fine" are those who have bought it! It is really bad for the game in the long term.

@tawny rain Pick one.

  • Balanced for most poeple
  • Balanced for the top 0.5%

When we ignore niche tanks

It doesn't mean it is the right option...do you think releasing overpowered tanks is the better option rather than having lots of options that are "there or thereabouts" balanced?

I only recently came back after a 3 year break due to the poor state the game was in then...and being honest I can't see my stay being too long this time either.

I can’t imagine that the Nightstalker is underperforming for anyone that has bought it. The thing has amazing armour and angles, good pen and damage, stupid reload, it’s stealthy and fast and can delete anything really it might meet. Sure it might struggle with certain tanks but it’s a tier 9…that acts like a pre-nerf Wafflehouse.

How it is now is a perfect example of a borderline broken tier 10 let alone a 9.

Does need a little adjustment though…

That’s what I thought when I played it on a friends account but with the pen they have and super fast reload, you generally don’t often lose unless you get caught wide open.

#

The Waffle was the same; you get seen you’re dead BUT the turret was made of cheese (still is) and the reload was long. They made it still deadly BUT not “as” deadly as before.

@tawny rain waffle is better now than it ever was

#

Less toxic, but way stronger

It has more camo sure but I'd take the broken one over this one ANY day of the week 🙂
