i think this is in correlation with the removal of the 152 HEAT shells on the KV-2

Yeah i am also surprised at the unnecessary increase in HEAT penetration for Russian 152mm Guns. 228mm pen was already very good, and i used HEAT on Stock ISU152 gun for grinding the BL10. They did increase the price of the shells from 4800 to 6000, but that makes no difference to in game penetration/OP mechanics.

As if the Sau-40′s top 75mm didn’t suck enough already…

Never mind I see it now. This is the first time I have seen this posted Anywhere. Why did they nerf it?

Am I the only one that noticed that they ninja nerfed the M103/T110E5 top guns pen, or did I miss it somewhere? In 8.5 the 120mm M58 pen is 269 but in 8.6 the pen is now 258. Also, the gold rounds were nerfed from 381 to 340.

Maybe try it without caps lock, correct punctuation and in proper english. Or you know what… just wait until you hit at least 17, then come back and post.

Somehow they determined the 152mm ML-20 guns needed a HEAT buff? wtf

I’m glad they’re nerfing tier 10 guns’ pen, armor on the Maus and E-100 becomes useful again, but 113 and IS-7 got hit rly hard. Maybe they should have nerfed TDs as well (thinking around 280 pen)

Mark, you take any medicine?

…
You know it might help.

As for the penetration changes, it may be a good thing, on the test server heavily armoured tanks definitely bounce much more, even with gold flying all over the place.

Marky Mark, you missed by a mile. I can’t count how many times I got instakilled by Pzs or M4s. So apparently, other players can do it, why can’t you, “newb”?
