Nerf t249

[languid gust]

When the nerf of the t249 is planned ?

[formal sun]

Yesn't

[jade frost]

Probably around feb as they said they will put the mark on it there .
I guess they will do everything in the same time

[finite otter]

Tragic for the quality of life to allow something as broken as the t249 to remain prevalent for the entire duration of a season and perhaps longer

[queen whale]

We just need to learn how to adapt and find another game

[limber wadi]

I just don't see how it's gotten away with being so stupid for so long.
After it wiped the E6 it wiped a t28 proto from full too

[oak onyx]

Do we have an idea of how they plan to “nerf” this tank?

[jade frost]

Probably with a heat mechanic camo and change the ap to he 50pen

[frail flax]

I have a T249 and it feels like a nerf has already happened, pen seems weaker, waste of time attacking tier X heavies, most mediums and armored TDs. Used to be 5 or 6 249s on each side in most battles, now there is only 1 or 2 total.

Also you will notice the 249s are usually the first tanks destroyed as their armor is like wet cardboard

[finite otter]

A nerf has not happened and doing so without telling the players would be illegal. There are less of them because people have gotten bored and moved to new tanks. They typically die first due to either an opposing t249 and/or the player rushing in at match start like many light tankers are known to do. It also is the best armored out of all tier 10 lights bouncing nearly 50% more shots than the next best.

[frail flax]

Illegal? Wargaming own the game and they can do what they like with game mechanics

[finite otter]

There are laws and regulations to how game developers are to handle paid items. They must provide notice of changes in order to make them

I play almost all tier 10 light and truth to be told in the 249 it's a toss of a coin; you can either have an insane game or a really crappy one. It's true, if you are in a light armored medium or light armored TD and you are caught off guard, it will delete you, but honestly, it's big for a light and when spotted every conceivable gun aims it and the 1100hp don't really last very long. I don't think is more harassing than the Ruthless, the Murat, the Machine, the AVRE or the Taran when they were first released. I think people just need to find a way to actively counter them, like for any other tank in this game...

[languid gust]

Yeah but, when you play a Light tank it's impossible to win against the t249. The t249 is better than all the others lights tanks and it ruins the game

[dawn knoll]

Not necessarily. If you are let’s say in the 100lt and catch the 249 reloading, you can absolutely melt it away, the same in a 13 105. If you are in a tusk and you catch him in the same situation, you can easily poke him for 500+

[languid gust]

It's wouldnt be possible to one clip another Light tank so easly with another Light tanks. Moreover, the t249 have a better camo, spot compare to all others lights tanks (and mobility compare to the manticore)

[dawn knoll]

In this video, despite the image quality (for some reason is mostly blurry for me...) i can see that once you emptied your clip, instead than retreat next to your teammates you went into the field... Open field where gun depression is not needed, and during all of this the t249 was spotted. Let's be honest, he outplayed you in this instance... But I'm not entirely disagreeing with you, it can be extremely op in the right hands and a nuisance in casual ones

[languid gust]

The quality of the clip is not great 😅. But, the t249 wasn't spotted. It Just appear and push me. But, the problems isn't here. The t249 is unbalanced

Better quality 😅

Oh my bad

It was spotted

[dawn knoll]

Yes, i would generally agree, but again, the lack of hp and the fact that once that your clip is empty you are dry for 20sec+ give a window of opportunity to screw them hard

Also, when you are using a bigger gun, you can easily trace that ridicolous bullet trail

it can lead to hilarious shots

😂😂😂

[dawn knoll]

I have even rammed one with my Rheinmetall PZW for almost 400...

[languid gust]

With the manticore, 2 shots = 780dmg and 20s of reload (approximativel)
With the 13 105, 3 shots = 1170 dmg but > intra clip + reload = 20s (approximatively)

With the t249, with one clip you can do 4800dmg and even you missed the alf 2400. It's to much compare as others lights tanks and others tanks in general 😅

[dawn knoll]

again, I agree that in another light tank, winning a duel is almost impossible, but in other tanks such as the manticore or the 13 105 you can create problems to heavier tanks if you play your cards right...
I still remember in a game on live oaks in my EBR I've managed to push it to a draw with 5 kills and 8.5K of my own... 3 kills were an E4, a Type 5 and an M103, stuff that you can barely touch with a T249

[jade frost]

As I was thinking they buffed the grille rather than nerfing the taran. Maybe they will buff the lights rather than nerfing the t249

[wispy dirge]

When will it be nerfed….when WG releases the next OP tank.

[queen whale]

That makes no sense

[frail flax]

I agree with everything you said in your posts, you are obvoiusly an experienced lights player. I have 7 T10 lights and currently grinding the China line

[jade frost]

Agree but we never know

[hollow aspen]

You are the type of player who has literally 0 standards
Yes lets not fight against corporate greed and a obviously op and broken tank that has made every single tt light tank in the tier 10 irrelevant yes let US adopt and reward wg bad habits
And watch the game get destroyed after 1 year

[queen whale]

Oops I meant to say we need to adapt and find another game. Not or find another game

[viscid cedar]

never

[hollow aspen]

8k hours and 7 years of grinding down the drain eh?

[queen whale]

Pretty much. I've been playing since day 3. There no hope.

[dawn knoll]

There is always hope 😂
