142 thoughts on “8.8 patchnotes – official tank changes

  1. Lots of things to go through here. I am most curious about the Super Pershing at this point. It seems as if it is going to be an overall better tank after this so called “Nerf”. I am wondering if people really are going to sell off their machines in exchange for the gold they spent on it.

    • with all the buffs its getting in exchange for that UFP armor reduction (which isn’t shot at most of the time since turret has its weak-spots already). I’d keep it if I had one – didn’t get one because I’m after more exp than more credits (bought the Ram II instead).

    • Better? nope they don’t list everything in the patch notes like the huge armor angle change to the front plate reducing the effective armor by a huuuuge amount

      • Maybe you can’t read, but SP got a higher speed limit (that it never reaches unless it’s falling from the sky) while also having a weight increase AKA an acceleration nerf.

    • I’d keep it, if I didn’t have an M60. The buffs seem pretty decent, since no one aims at the hull anyway.

      • The upper plate is easier to hit than the turret weakspots. Hell, the high-end tier X guns (250+ AP, 260+ APCR) can go straight through the double overlap section in the middle.

        • And there is supposed to be something stopping tier X gun from going through SuperPershing?

            • tier 8-9 mm doesn’t keep you from seeing tier 10 guns, for example the M103 is tier 9 but has access to the same tier 10 gun that is on the T110E5.

              Lots o tier 10 guns running around shooting Super Pershings. Something like 1/3 of the tanks in tier 9 have a tier 10 gun option.

              Does that make more sense now?

        • The “upper” upper front plate is pretty weak now. I could penetrate one with a 175mm penetration gun. I will probably sell it and I will expect the T23, hopefully as premium.

  2. Lulz. The ongoing saga of VK 28.01 nerfs continues. Are they going to add hamster food as a gold consumable when they replace the engine for a hamster wheel in 8.9?

    • i tryed both on test server 1, and it was 8 deg only on the sides, front was still 6 deg, they changed in test 2 to 8 deg front too?

        • So the engine developes 1 HP … 1 hamster power

          But with proper food it actually developpes 5000 HP wich is a respectalbe 4,91 horsepower

          28.01

        • Sorry for doublepost :(

          Anyway -6° only because of that stupid light on the upper plate.
          Just remove that damn thing but noooo that would be work -.-

      • I see it as a buff mainly too. the only thing that gets nerfed is the shot dispersion after rotating the hull, and only by 5%, its still pretty damn good. and now it has 55 km/h, view range is better, ground resistance is better (but I don’t know wether this is compensated by the enginge loss, still a buff I think).

        • You need to learn what different parameters do to tanks when you change them. The German tanks got nerfed *hard* on mobility, even if most of them got other things to make up for it.

          Similarly, the KV-2 got a mobility buff, but people will whine that it’s a nerf.

          • The KV-2 didn’t get a mobility buff, it got a small (though notable) acceleration buff with its +40 horsepower, but nerfs to turning, and worse terrain resistance all around (i.e. less mobile).

          • Fair points all – only fair that WG wants players to grind suspensions, rather than playing straight thru to jp2 or ferdi. That said – I’m really liking the turn rate buff. My Jagdkitty reallllly needed it. And the top speed is welcome too!

  3. Price of the turret VK 36.01 (H) changed from 17 210 to 10 260 deg/sec. shouldnt it be credits?

  4. WHAT? ANOTHER nerf for VK28?! Are they serious? What did this tank do to them? I’m afraid what will they do to it in 8.9…

    • Yeah they really seem to have a personal vendetta against that tank. Always has been the worst “scout” tank and it was only gold ammo that made it worth using. Now its just a waste of a garage slot.

  5. >> Aufklärungspanzer Panther:
    Reload time for gun 7,5 cm KwK 41 L/58 Konisch changed from 5 sec. to 4 sec.
    Damage of the shell Pzgr. 41 HK for gun 7,5 cm KwK 41 L/58 Konisch, changed from 165 to 135 units.
    Damage of the shell Pzgr. 41 StK for gun 7,5 cm KwK 41 L/58 Konisch, changed from 165 to 135 units.

    Wow, they actually buffed dpm – but it still feels like a nerf…

    >>VK 28.01:
    Turn rate of suspension VK 28.01 changed from 44 to 42 deg/sec.
    Turn rate of suspension VK 28.01 VK-2801-Ketten Ausf. B changed from 48 to 46 deg/sec.

    Will they stop nerfing this???

    • I don’t think so. Better sell this tank, and forgot, buy real scouts. You can’t fight with WG and yelling not change it.

  6. “IS-8:

    Loading capacity Т-10 changed from 50 900 kg to 50 907 kg.”

    Because the balance was nowhere to be found!!! finally they fixed it!!!-_-

  7. Err.. what about the Chinese shell nerfs?

    Why did they bother to have a Chinese line at all? The tanks are basically crap anyway, tried them all on the Test Servers since they came out. I got half way up the line then the grind to T6 was the worst ever!
    Now they nerf some of the few advantages they have … still keeping my Type 59 tho :D

    • They are, and always be wallet baiter tanks. They’re extremely good…on paper, in reality gun depression kills them, their HT’s can be a substitute for Soviet ones, but meds are… well… they have good alpha dmg(since T-34-1), usually quite good DPM and… nothing more. Armour is decent, but not strong enough to make them viable, soft stats and mobility suck. But hey, they’re so good – that DPM, imb4 alfa let’s spend some money to buy premium and grind through the shit we’ll have to use until tier 7.

      Of course, Chinese lights are okay, but it’s mainly because we don’t have many “battle” light tanks without autoloader.

  8. Still dont get why they had to ruin Jagdtiger so much.

    Paper LFP and less gun depression, coupled with abysmal mobility, are simply wrong.

    Nice one WG, great “rebalance”.

      • It seems you are:

        Lower frontal plate thickness reduced from 120 to 100 mm
        Removed the engine Maybach HL 234 = -170 HP
        Depression angle for gun 12,8 cm PaK 44/2 L/61 changed from 8 to 7,5 deg

        +5 traverse rate or -4% soft terrain resistance dont compensate for that.
        Top speed is not reachable outside of hard ground, which got no terrain resistance buff so overall its a huge nerf for already borderline UP TD, especially compared to Tortoise and Foch.

      • Yes, overall it got nerfed more than it was compensated with silly buffs in terrain resistance…i must say i tried it on test server and it still behaves decently, but you certainly feel the slugishness a bit more and i really don’t see the point in nerfing the bloody gun depression from -8° to -7.5° Are they doing this just to piss of more people with stupid german nerfs…i mean that less gun depression will have almost none effect anyway but when you look at it its still a nerf so to me it looks like a trolling from WG side….

        • “+5 traverse rate or -4% soft terrain resistance dont compensate for that.”

          Actually, they literally do. Your traverse rate will be what it was before, you’re just slower to get moving and up hills now.

          • I don’t really care about traverse rate or what. U get flanked, u die. simply as that. but hull-down is the most essential point how to survive with JT

            • LOL, flanked by SP or Lowe? That’s silly. They’re bound to die first. Only fast medium like BC / Leopard / E-50M that always makes me afraid to get flanked.

  9. T26E4 SuperPershing:
    Terrain resistance of suspension M26Т80Е1 on hard surfaces reduced by 14%.
    Terrain resistance of suspension M26Т80Е1 on medium surfaces reduced by 12%.
    Terrain resistance of suspension M26Т80Е1 on soft surfaces reduced by 21%.

    so is this good or bad?

  10. So let me get this straight: with a reload buff of 0.5 seconds (“7,4 sec. to 6,9″), the L/56 on the VK3601H will have (theoretical) more DPM than the Indien-Panzer?!

    Currently, with Rammer + BiA + Vents, the VK3601H (with L/56) and the Indien-Panzer (with the 90mm) share a maximum reload speed (no Premium Consumables added) of 6.1.
    If my math is correct, the L/56 will, with the specified setup, get a 5.6 reload speed?! Holy Crap!

    And yes, I know that the L/56 is utter garbage compared to what it was IRL (I can only dream of the day when they will increase the shell travel speed -it’s horrendous- and maybe buff the accuracy a bit – after all, we’re talking about a gun that could consistently hit targets well over 1000m range), so it will be a slightly better sniper weapon (132 is mostly enough to penetrate weakspots… if you can hit them), but still… a better DPM than a Tier 8 Medium? That’s pretty intense.

    Add to that the mantlet armor buff for the L/56 and IMO the deal is sealed, I’m ditching the Konisch for good! (I was really disappointed when I realized I couldn’t rely on my frontal turret armor not nearly as much when I mounted the Konisch gun)

    • “after all, we’re talking about a gun that could consistently hit targets well over 1000m range”
      .__.
      That must be why the actual average KO distances were in the vicinity of 500-600m.

      • At first I thought of a serious answer, by mentioning that I was only talking about accuracy – but then I saw who posted the comment.

        Go home, kellomies, you’re red.

        • Waiting for source for your claim about range.
          Short 8,8 was likely little more accurate(when we’ll take scaling on the accout), but well, D-25T had nearly the same spread as long 8,8 yet it doesn’t mean it’s the same in the game.

          • While I’m almost completely illiterate regarding WW2 weaponry specs, I don’t have many reasons to doubt the wiki statement that
            ” In British firing trials during the war, a British gunner scored five successive hits from 1,200 yards (1,100 m) at a 16 by 18 inches (41 by 46 cm) target.”

            And I doubt that wiki is ran by wehraboos.

      • Once i read a story of a german tiger-crew who encountered an unknown russian tank at 3500meters.
        They stayed hidden and waited until the tank got into the 3000m range started shooting at it. Once the russian tank realized that it was being shot at they started to zigzag to avoid the shots. After the first few hits that did nothing to the unkown tank the igercrew decided to use the rare and expensive HVAP ammo with increased penetration to take out tha tank.

        But even so the gun wasnt able to do actual damage to the tank that was already at 2500 meters
        The Tigercrew decided to relocate and wait for the enemy tank to get closer so they can finally kill that tank. The Commander already told the fieldcommander about this encounter and described the enemy tank as well as he could.

        After relocating they spottet the enemy tank again at 1800meters now driving in a straight line. Again using HVAP their secound shot penetrated and knocked out the tank because their first shot bounced off because of unfortunate angle.

        They drove to the knocked out tank to see what tank they had trouble with.
        It turned out to be one of the first IS tanks ever produced.
        Not too long after that encounter the first IS tanks were spottet with a modified turret and the mighty D-25T gun that was equal in range and penetration to the long 88L71 and superior to the 88L56 mounted on the Tiger 1. They were build only in very limited numbers as russian command preferred spamming the germans with T-34

        Sadly i forgot where i read this story but it was very very good and intese to read. Of course there were alot more details than i could ever post in here but i find it interesting because its another sign that ruassia had pretty good tanks and the major reason for the germans being that succesfull despite being vastly outnumbered was superior crewtraining as well as bad manufacturing standards for the russians. (some IS got knocked out from a heavy anti-tank rifle from the front wich should not be possible)

        BTW: There was a modified Panzergranate 39 (standardammo in both WoT and RL) for the 88L71 that could penetrate 250mm of unangled armor at 100meters. That was achieved with increased quality of the steel penetrator meaning that it did not deformate as much on impact resulting in greating penetration.
        Those were rather rare as quality steel got more and more difficult to produce in sufficient quantity

        source: http://www.wwiivehicles.com/germany/guns/88-mm.asp
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzergranate_39

      • There is a reason why statistics have a bad rep for source of truth.

        Just because most kill shots happened betwen 600-800m, doesn’t mean the guns lacked accuracy. It could be the tanks crested a hill at 600m, that doesn’t mean the gun would have missed if they had done so further away, just that this is the range where they engaged. 1/3rd of the kills were still at 1km plus range, so they could still hit at that range.

        • Considering that the discussion has been carried way off-track, am I really the only one excited about the VK3601H buffs? (L/56 RoF + depression, HP buff + turret armor buff)

        • Take any old bolt-action infantry rifle and that sucker can, ballistically, hit a man like two kilometers away.
          Three guesses how much relevance that has to PRACTICAL accuracy, nevermind now in combat conditions? Same thing.

  11. Those look like nice changes to the Panther. Finally decent dpm, more mobility cross-country, easier aiming…still lacks alpha, but otherwise pretty nice.

    • I’d say that DPM buff is a real game changer, you know, there are plenty of tanks(M46, Easy eight, Comet) that are damn fine, even though on paper they’re meh, meh armour, somewhat meh mobility, meh pen, meh accuracy. But hey – they have awesome DPM and gun depression so they rock when used right. On the other side there are tanks like ARL44, that look awesome on paper, but shitty DPM makes them horrible. And Panther is leaving this league.

      • i still would prefer an alpha buff to 150 because little T71 gets 150 for using a medium lengthed 76mm gun while panther gets 135 for using a LOOONG 75mm gun … 1fucking mm …

        Anyway buffs to panther are always welcome as its one of my more played tanks recently

  12. From Google translate:

    > Added automatic shooting when holding the button is held down and shot.

    Finally!

  13. VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B:

    View range of turret VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B changed from 400 m to 390 m.

    i’m quite sure there was more that should have been changed. Didn’t i read something about better side armour or am i wrong?

    • Some early “leaks” claimed incoming armour buffs (120mm sides/rear, 200mm front IIRC), but that never showed up on the test server.

  14. What’s the justification for the subcaliber tungsten bullet causing the same damage as a full size APBC shell?

    • because it would make the game more complicated.
      Who would use goldammo for increased penetration when the alphadamage would suffer … close to nobody and thats not wat WG wants obviously

    • Because that bullet hits its target faster. Slow moving projectile cause less damage than faster moving projectiles.

  15. Are they actually nerfin VK45A and VK45B???? Those tanks perfrom horribly already and they buffed their view range. I mean really???? I’m more and more sure that they are doing this on purpose just to piss off people. If anything those two tanks should be buffed somehow and not fucking nerfed. And was it really necessary to buff those few USSR engines for ~40-50 BHP?? Yes, not anti german bias at all.

      • ive heared that they nerfed the groundresistance on those tanks so mobility should stay the same. Also look at KV2 traverse nerf.

        VK45xx are underperforming but will be replaced in the future. Currently they are looking for replacements. Even uniting both into one tier is apparently an option.
        Also look at how the rebalance of german tanks improved most of them.
        VK36.01 rebalance changed the playstile quite a bit as its nowhere near as agile as it used to be but gained turretarmor, hitpoints and DPM in exchange as well as better gundepression so i think its still a good tank!
        Panther and Tiger are better now. Tiger 2 now has more gundepression and less weakspots as the MGport was removed as weakspot and commanders cupola got stronger and more angled.
        E75 … yeah dont know about that really … maybe it was a nerf

        Anyway stop feeding the anti german bias trolls. You can start whining when or IF the german TD in 8.9 have crappy penetration.

        • VK 36.01 H actually got nerfed DPM, rather then buffed. The RoF increase is less then the damage reduction of the Konisch.

      • the VK45A and B are already the worst performing teir8 and 9 tanks in the game (aside from arty) , don’t see the justification to nerf them further
        2801 also nerfed more… again its already the worst performing teir6 light tank why nerf it more ?

        look at the worst performing tanks in from teir8-10
        out of the bottom 20… 12!!! are german
        and several of those 12 have been nerfed even more…

        and at the top of the list of best performing teir8-10 tanks…where is the top german one… 45!!!!! ( jagdtiger )

        epic balance their WG ;)

        • whiners will always concentrate on the bad things. KV-1S will be split into 2 tanks and the tier 6 version will most likely lose its 122gun so the OMG RUSSIAN BISAS tier 6 tank is no more
          Those changes will come in 8.9 but still ….
          Once T-34/85 was overperforming and they took away the 100mm gun from at and the T43 wich is now an underwhelming tank.
          IS7 is on the lower side of the winrates but that all of a sudden can be explaned by noobs driving it …

          • Tanks don’t nerf themselves. It was a conscious decision to make a bad German tank worse. You’d have a point if the nerf was indirect (for example, an arty buff would nerf German heavies indirectly), but it’s direct.

        • For your information, the VK 4502 A isn’t underperforming because it’s a horribble tank. It’s underperfoming because people can’t drive it properly. I have one by myself and it’s quite fun to drive (as long you dont handle it as a heavy tank..it’s a fat medium really.)

    • Well, the viewrange nerf is probably to bring consistency with the Henschel like changes (those Porshe tanks use the same turrets). Just wait for the Porshe line rebalance.

  16. So my KV-2 HP is going up, but so is terrain resistance.
    Is an increase in terrain resistance a buff or a nerf?

    Also, I’ve only had the LB-1 on the T-44 for about 20 battles, and it is already getting nerfed! I’m still planning on keeping it.

    • its not nerfed as it loses ROF but gains alpha (230 –>250)
      DPM stays the same if im correct so i dont think its a nerf

    • The increased terrain resistance is a nerf. With the slight buff in engine power though, it should even out. The KV-2 will be pretty much unchanged, or at least one will struggle to notice any difference.

      • The KV-2 will climb hills faster and turn the same speed it did before. The resistance nerf is to keep the straight line speed in line with what if was before.

        It’s the exact inverse of what they did to the German tanks, in terms of resistance, turn rate, and engine power.

    • Foch, Foch 155 and T57 Heavy will be “rebalanced” in update 8.9 so be patient guys … OP toptiers will be gone in a few weeks!

      until then i will try to kill those damn POS whenever its possible even if it costs me my tank.
      Gotta hate those ppl who rush to get OP asap just to improve their stats and win more often -.-

      • Those tanks have been out for a very long time. They are balanced in their own ways. Look at their perrm ammo except t9 foch, its all shitty heat

        • Oh god, the Foch155 standard shells are pretty poor when it comes to prenetration. They can bounce very easily. I’ve had entire clips bounce.

      • OMG arty is so OP nurf it !

        OMG TD’s are so OP nurf them !

        OMG heavy tanks sooo OP nuuurfff !!

        OMG medium tanks rape everything neeeeerf !!!!!

        OOOMG everyone plays light tanks now its fine !

  17. Pfft! Looks like that son of a bitch got his way with the KV-1S. “Working as intended” indeed…

  18. Oh the poor germans! So many changes… least the french have survived intacted for a change

  19. No more cross engines for Germany… I think i lost already too much time from my life by these “developers”. I might return, after fun returns to the game. I see only negligence, arrogance and money thirst. Tanks are just the commercials.
    They lost an EU player who payed. No more pays for them, no more time for them but they already laughing at me.

    • Well, if you mean the same engine on different vehicles it’s exactly the opposite – the return of them. The new top engine on tigers is the top engine on gw.tiger since it’s rebalance and top engine on e50 is the top engine on scout panther. All panther variants (and Jagdtiger, lol) share the same engine too.

  20. Well that just killed the T69. Was hamstrung after HEAT nerf last time, now it’ll be uselsss. T57 following close behind.

    • Really ? So 250mm pen is not enough for you ? Wow, dude, learn to aim .. I can manage in Tier 10 games with 200mm pen and im doing fine ..

      • Well you don’t get 300 or 250 pen now do you? With the change in mechanics on HEAT penetration on the previous HEAT nerf, you get no where near that actual pen.

        • Then learn to fucking make do with 173? Pershing has to do with 180. T-44 has to work with 175. Now you have to use your brain and not engage tier 9 heavies from the front, HOW TERRIBRU!!

  21. “Penetration of the shell UBR-354MА for gun 76 mm S-54 changed from 109 mm to 125 mm.
    Penetration of the shell UBR-354MА for gun 76 mm S-54S changed from 109 mm to 125 mm.”

    Oh hey, you know what would be awesome while you’re messing with mid-tier Soviet guns? Making the UBR-354MP shells be not an almost complete waste of credits when fired by the F-34 and ZiS-96.

    I mean, I’m not even asking for an AP shell buff, even though it desperately needs it. Just APCR that’s more than marginally better than AP would be great. Nearly every *other* APCR/HEAT shell that’s shared with premium guns gets a reasonable boost (yes, I checked, only the Locust gets screwed almost as bad at an only 18 penetration increase).

    Hello? WG? Are you listening? >: \

    -

    The German stuff seems like a pretty mixed bag, but I see a lot of useful buffs mixed in there. Small ones in a lot of cases, but useful nonetheless.

    • Well, the only tanks that have those guns and where they are competitive are T-34 and A-43 (well and probably T-44-85, hence the buff, 109 pen for t7 looks too low). T-34 users are probably gonna stick with 57mm, but it’s gonna be very viable on A-43 (the tank is much faster and will be a good brawler and accuracy is the only thing this gun sucks at compared to 57mm).

      • Also IIRC the testserver, the A-43 basically doesn’t *have* factually viable setups other than the 76mm which might of be relevant.

  22. HMMMMM… looks to me like overall the soviet tanks get their guns buffed while the majority of other nations recieve a nerf…. soviet bias again perhaps????

    • About fucking time the 100mm stopped losing to the 88′s and 90mm’s in damage, that was just silly.

  23. Pingback: Patchnotes 0.8.8.

  24. IS-4 gets nothing? Really? This is the lowest DPM heavy tank, has the slowest speed, slowest traverse, and worst armor of any heavy tank. A couple recent collision viewers even confirmed the upper glacias is not even 140mm at 61 deg like it is supposed to be. It is actually only 100mm at 58 deg. Fix this tank!

    • That is, if you don’t count the Terrible Duo of German heavies. And as for glacis thickness – I don’t believe you. Contact me ingame if you want proof, I’ll bring my IS-4 for test firing.

  25. so to compensate for the weaker engine of E75
    they don just decrease the terrain resistance

    but also decrease the weight of the tank , nice

  27. Did anybody notice that not only the price for the 5cm KwK 39 L/60 has changed?
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/834/8m59.png/
    They just shifted that gun up one Tier (is Tier 3 in 0.8.7 and will be Tier 4 in 0.8.8) just because
    it’s used on that new Durchbruchswagen2 Tier4 heavy tank.
    So what we get is in fact a Tier4 HT with a Tier3 gun that has been faked to Tier4 (stats are the same…),
    pretty lame if you ask me……
