FV215b 183 nerf ? Wasn’t the HE shell nerf enough? Here’s the pros and cons of it , and try to spot any “OP” characteristics -

FV215b 183 –

Pros :
High Alpha ( Only with High Explosive [ HESH ] shells )
Average Mobility

Cons :
Carries least ammo in game ( 12 shells )
Less than effective armor ( If you bounce on a 183 at point blank, just drown yourself )
Longest aiming time ( 3.4 s )
Artillery class ROF ( 2 rpm ) [ Means you have a full 24 seconds to shoot back at an elite 183 after it fires ]
Poor Accuracy ( 0.4 )
Cant traverse it’s gun completely ( Only 45 degrees I think )
Has to use HESH shells worth 8000 credits each shot ( and if it doesn’t pen, GG)

Summary – If you’re dumb enough to step into it’s gun when it’s loaded, then you deserve to die. But if you manage to angle your armor even slightly or have spaced armor pointed at it, hands down, it’s not going to pen you whatsoever . Other than the alpha on it’s gun, everything else is just horrible on the tank.

The talk about TDs seems to me as a common “talking knowing nothing”. Perhaps they will nerf something but TD’s do not cause the playability problems like the old arties did.

The fate of this tank was up to SerB, IIRC. It seems he is continuing to trololol all the way to the bank (of Cyprus). :-)

Vehicles are only OP if they can single-handedly boost WR. Being able to do a lot of damage but not carry a game is not OP, and is quite possible with UP vehicles.

While playing SPG can be enjoyable, the poor win rates (and the recently posted player WR vs vehicle WR graphs) speak for themselves. Quite unfortunate that a whole class of vehicles is so ineffectual. They should fix or remove, but I won’t hold my breath for either.

Pretty sure there is an XP reward for potential damage received. I’ve sat in AT2s and similar, neither spotting nor doing much damage (yes, I know, a bad game :-)), but doing a lot of bouncing or taking HE damage and getting good XP.

If a group becomes as powerful as TD`s they deserve it.

They shouldnt. Those are fine. I`ll be pissed if they do.

Must be as alt to T20….Seems like a waste as the only thing better was Transmission not Hull.

TD`s and arty ruined Heavy gameplay.

TD`s outclass heavies at every role except sidscrapping or peekaboom. Literally everything else is dominated by them.

Hell look what they are nerfing. Aim Time, Speed, Accuracy, Alpha…Lol normally WG does little nerfs, now they realize they need a lot.

Didnt they say it would be able to be ran on same systems as a whole?

Increasing textures doesnt slow stuff down in a major ay does it?

I understand new physics but you can turn those off im sure.

Also most games dont support 4 cores anyways most only use 2.
