>It has bigger rangefinder/cupola weakspots than any other TD on tier…
The foch is relatively small, as tall as an obj 268, has a complex nub cupola that’s shorter and smaller than the cupola of a Tiger P, massive no pen zones and an agile engine otherwise perched on incredibly thick frontal armor. Trying to hit an aware foch with anything less than British or German Superaccurate guns in a combat situation is excruciating if the foch has the least amount of support.

The Jagdpanzer E-100 has a massive lower glacis with none of the acceleration benefits. the WT auf E-100 has an entire turret for a weakspot. The entire E chassis line has a lower glacis plate that usually takes up half the entire hull, all surely much bigger than the cupola weakspot and usually with worse acceleration and horsepower save for the E-50M. Fighting on level ground becomes an infuriating business as your lower glacis is as tall as a scout tank.

In the scale of things the nerf is likely as bad as the german engine rebalance: In other words, a minor debuff. The Cupola is still extremely sloped, difficult to squarely hit, and the rest of the tank has a massive front plate to deal with. Honestly, my bigger problem was that incredible 20 hp to the ton allowing the thing to easily reach 50 kmh: This tank beats the E-50M and Centurion’s specific power, matches the specific power of the T-54, Leopard 1, STB-1 and FV4202 with an insane front plate, better than average T10 TD camo rating, and a high alpha, high pen gun. The Foch 155 has the best traits of the high end mediums and beastkilling tank destroyers.

Idiot noobs (or tomatoes if you check them in XVM) who cried all day long, that foch can shoot 3/min (in paper 3*850) are total loosers. They simply can not play, can not deal with this TD, which thing wouldnt be so hard…

This game goes to a very wrong way…

Another thing: imagine what whine will happen if they touch the isu…

Mobility hasn’t been changed, luckily, could do with a large dpm buff though.

I love the S35 CA to death.

AMX AC 1946, 1948, and Foch 120 are TOTALLY op.

I’m referring to the tier 9 Foch, GUP member.

To be fair, the S35AC can be pretty damn good.

Why T9 Foch nerf? Gun is shit (its basically a T8 TD gun with T8 DPM) and now armor and mobility are gone…

Yes, pretty lot (watched replays – clear ghost shells going through not lags).

…if you really believe this, I’d suggest you follow a certain medication commonly known as “hammer to the face”. Yes, CC reference. Deal with it.
