“Q: Why did you nerf arties and buff TDs?
A: Almost every tournament game was heavily dependent on arties. We tried to shift this tendency a bit and we kind of succeeded. TDs were not used in tournament games so we buffed them to be more usable.”

Very interesting. This begs the question: why do they care that: “Almost every tournament game was heavily dependent on arties.” I would highly suspect that arty is getting as much negative reaction among spectators as it gets from tankers.

WoT artillery is one of the most ridiculous player vs. player game mechanics out there. Never mind that the mechanic far outstrips the time frame of the game or the SPGs modeled in terms of anti-tank ability, the mechanic itself is inappropriate in a pvp environment.

Watching tanks poke their nose out to get a spot for arty then hide like a little girl to avoid enemy arty is probably about as much fun for the spectator as it is for the tanker. This leads to poor audience participation, which leads to grumpy sponsors. Here’s hoping that WG’s desire to make this game a viable e-sport will force them to finally fully admit that there arty mini-game is a bad idea in a player vs. player environment.

Power-to-weight is very imporant. It’s easy to forget Centurion was so heavy it had practically the same hp/ton as Conqueror.

Compared to KT and T32 it has slightly worse armor, but it’s compensated by much better gun than both of them. And remember that WG saw that IS3 is penetrable rather easy(which i agree with) and now they are implementing the new model “historically accurate” that should remain the same level of protection, but we both know that won’t happen. They already said it will be more armored cause of the new angles on the front. So expect IS3 to be more protected than chinese 110 and still have much better overall stats. It already have magic armor that will bounce when you least expect it, now it will be OP i don’t doubt that at all. I still remember when they changed IS-4 model to IS-4M. They said it will be only visual rework and tank will behave the same. They somehow “forgot” to mention that those sideskirts they’ve added are now acting as additonal armor. T59 before buff had 175 pen and it could pen IS-4 from the side bellow the real armor rather easy since it was really thin armor. When they changed the model to IS-4M those sideskirts acted like some sort of spaced armor and all of a sudden T59 couldn’t pen IS-4 from the side anymore. I wouldn’t call that “only visual rework”. They are gonna secretly buff IS-3 armor with this new model. Remember what i said.

Oh, the IS-3 ain’t half bad. Rather mobile and nice gun. But armor? bitchplease.jpg, Tier Sevens go right through from the front and you can’t angle it at all or it’ll be WORSE.

Yay, a completely redone Redshire would be a good thing.

From a visual point of view I absolutely love the scenery that is going on and the colours that are used… but that’s where the list of things I like about the map ends.

From a gameplay point of view I think a reworked redshire would be a great thing. It’s pretty hard to make it worse than the current state after all ;)

add the M551 Sheridan (minus the ATGM’s) at tier 9 and you nearly have a complete tree.

Look, this guy treat his customers properly, it doesn’t matter if you agree with him or not, that’s not the point of doing Q&A. SerB’s Q&A is consists of f him flipping off his customers 1 out of 2 questions and he is happily doing it.
Since last month, I didn’t even bother reading every Q&A threads whenever I see even one troll answer from the preview page. It’s a waste of time.
I get more info out of this Q&A than over a month worth of Q&A from SerB or Storm
