These are the changes we know about for now. Warning, this post is picture heavy!
Nashorn – got a bit bigger (the smaller one is the old one)
The T-54 model was drastically changed. The longer one is the new one (also, with fuel tanks in the back) – please note that armor did not change.
Type 59 model was changed too – the lighter one is the new one.
And finally, WZ-120 model got changed a bit (the one with the hull to the back is the new one)
Russian bias!!111!!1
Oh, and Chinese bias too.
The T-54 also lost some height, which is probably more important than the increased length.
I already asked this in another thread, but how is it possible that this tank, which was produced in huge numbers and is readily available from armories everywhere in the world, has to undergo more model changes than any other vehicle in game?
It was made bigger, then it was made higher, now it is made longer and flatter again. WTF?
different factory, different tolerations, different design changes. kinda like AK-47 variants
Makes sense actually, didn’t think about that. Thanks for the explanation! :)
Ok, but they should just take 10 tanks, measure them, take the average
Height of the hull stayed the same, only the turret lost few millimeters.
Finally my beloved Type 59 has a nicer colour.
Nicer? This new one looks like plastic toy
You know what plastic even looks like in real life??

Sorry but thats how i see it, the old one had its rusty beauty.
And that’s exactly how it’s supposed to look like. Wow… very plastic, much China! XD
But WZ-120/T-34-3 are still taller than T-54, why?
Cuz they are not glorious soviet constructions.
Because WZ-120 and T-34-3 are different kinds of tanks than just a direct copy of the T-54 which the Type 59(Copy of the T-54A) is
“The Type 59 (Chinese industrial designation: WZ-120) main battle tank is a Chinese produced version of the Soviet T-54A tank,” etc.
:P
“Thanks” for taking that log to the side of the tank. Now it’s fucking useless. When that log was in the rear of the tank it could bounce some shots, but now rear has no protection anymore. Thanks again f*cking WG.
For you sir- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTrAVpK9blw
Please fuck off.
bet you didn’t say that for any of the arty or TD nerfs..
I don’t give a flying fuck about arty and TD.
Not sure if trolling or seriously stupid. I bet on the latter one.
Idi nahui dalbajob.
Sabbatino, you re quite the idiot, arent you?
the log was a no hit texture, do you mean what that is? its like the superpershing turret armor tubes near the cuppola, any shot will go right trough them as its armor value is ZERO.
if you had some bounces on your log in the past, that was your hull being shot at at an angle beyond 70°. not the log acting as an armor.
but hey, you can keep insulting and cussing, in the end the only one being shamed by their own lack of knowledge is you.
No wonder you all are idiots. Couldn’t understand a joke. :D I feel sorry for you all.
I was afraid of T-54 changes, but log is still there so everything is ok. :)
T-54 log now mounted on the right side of hull….CONSPIRACY TO BUFF AMMORACK WEAKSPOT PROTECTION WITH STRONK SOVIET LOG ARMOUR.
[/tinfoil hat]
Lets call it a “Logspiracy”!
The length change for the T-54 I get, but the reduced height?! Does the T-54 need any more buffs, in any single way, in any single area, at all? That thing, tier for tier, is just a complete monster already… WarGaming pls
The armor scheme didn’t change; i.e. the visual model didn’t align with the actual hitboxes. No nerf or buff, just letting players actually know what they’re shooting at.
So they’ve allowed us to go this long before realizing people are just shooting at empty space?
Hmm, that would explain some lucky bounces off cupola and such. In this case, it is more of an nerf. No worry, my T54 can live with that
T-54: Now I will be able to tank even better with that log. Log for the win!
