What application do you use, to see the models the way like on screenies? With armor thinkness legend and whatnot.

With the E100 changes apparently it is non historical for a reason. In the original tests those areas above the tracks were getting overmatched and auto penned by all 91mm+ guns. Since that part of the tank slopes very slightly you can hit it from the front. More detail here:

It is just being corrected for “historical inaccuracies.” The fact that it gets nerfed is only a coincidence. However, 8.6 should be an overall buff for heavy armored tanks such as E-100.

Technically the e100 isn’t nerfed either, so i can’t really call out “bias” on this one, though i do believe that the t62 and 268 are way too imba – which can be “bias” all the way ;)

unless its on a german tank when swarms of fanboys will cry out in rain and scream “russian bias”

Yup, although as an owner of the 100 i don’t really see anything really bad (1k+ battles, 50%+ WR) with this, i’m more concerned with the 268 getting some more armor =)

Technically – yes, but it’s so small that you can’t count that as a nerf.

The side armor of the hull gets a bit less (non-substantial) and the track covers (if you happen to find a model without the skirts – you’ll get my meaning) get a LOT less (smth like 20 or 30mm down from ~100). That’s besides the turret movement.
