Yes the armor of this Foch is just troll – god almost everytime i know before that i gonna bounce on that Foch… only if you are near enough to hit the tiny weakspots on top… i dont even think the Gun is OP, i think the combination of the speed and armor is a bit too much!

Foch 155 only needs armor nerf, My JPE-100 can’t even penetrate it’s upper hull, and the weakspot can even bounce it a couple of times.

My only way to kill that thing frontally is to aim on the lower part of the gun…

The problem is that HT’s are trying to snipe against TD’s and than they are crying its unfair. I see so many stupid HT campers these days.

Assuming reload and other things do not change, I find this to be a pretty heavy nerf to the Foch. The armor was fine, and weak enough as-it-was. The gun is incredibly difficult to aim, you rarely are able to maintain camo unless aiming at the exact position of the enemy. Even as a pro player who owns one of these, I do not deem this tank over powered. The point of TDs, any of them at tier X, is to do major amounts of damage, because the HP is available to do so. The 268 still maintains far better DPM, accuracy, aim time, and by far armor at this point. The Foch stayed balanced with a 5 second, inter-drum reload which essentially allows tanks to move/hide. The commander ports and even its mediocre gun mantle and frontal armor are fairly easy to pen for Tier Xs. Sides, rear, and top are so weak anything can pen you, especially artillery.

The WTE-100, although with more blaring weaknesses, features more view range (420m) and can outspot many tanks. Equipped with a solid crew and camo net it can stay relatively safe/hidden. The 12.8cm gun offers ~3,360dmg/clip average within a 10 second period (2 sec inter). The Foch is currently ~2,550dmg/clip average within the same 10 second period. The WT with its high velocity rounds, and APCR option, with the most accurate gun in the game, can do some serious damage. It’s ability to keep tanks locked in the open through the front drive wheel is incredibly good. The WTE100 can easily and reliably clip out a Maus while the Foch would maybe get within 400-800HP. Finally, the WTE100 has a turret that maintains minimal reticule dispersion while traversing. This ability allows you to quickly switch targets and continuing firing with little need to re-aim. The Foch, with any movement at all for shot correction would demand an entire aim time duration to be accurate. This same downfall results in significant difficulty in hitting targets on the move, while the WTE100 accels at this.

I really feel players are taking judgment from a generalized community point of view rather than the hard facts about the tanks, and how they really work in-game. To be considered, I feel the Foch, despite its possibility for high-dmg, as it should have being a tier X TD, really is not top TD any longer. In addition, for those who brought up mobility, the WTE100 is fairly mobile for its size and weight.

LOl bigest bulshit ever. Try to flank tds? WHERE TELL ME WHERE FUCKING IDIOT? Last game i as killed in batchat becouse after 7 mins our TDS have NO ACTION like ENEMIES.
Any tank will be sopted before you can spot TD, and you die instantly, yes i have game where fucking all Tds camped near base, and wiped 3 tier X tanks after i spoted them in fucking 5 sec, i manage to do 1 simple shot and before reload in T54 they all gone. So stfu.
Pleas tell me master how to avoid Tds and kill easy them in this FUCKING GAME:

I agree with you there,Foch is fine,maybe it needs little adjustments but not that big as the post say what is wrong with the 180 mm frontal armor,only thing foch depends on is it’s Frontal Armor,it has no sides,no rear(Please don’t say “It’s gun is deadly” I know it is but 5 sec between every shot ? You can run to a cover at that time if you aren’t on an open field.)
It is fine.But as I said it needs some adjustment maybe lowering the armor on it’s frontal weak spots by 10-20 mm.But if players are waiting for every shot they take on Foch’s frontal armor to count they can expect what ever they want to.Well this game should be about balance.Gun’s itself is okay,it has decent accuracy for an auto loader,3 shots with 750 dmg average is decent when you consider other td’s,I think Obj 268 is the Foch 155 (Not as the armor but the gun.) with out the auto loader(but you have to agree with me it has some weird armor…)
