Dropping tier 12 does not impact Tier VIII Scouts much at all. They face exactly the same tanks as they did before the drop.

Because HISTORICALLY – and Wargaming loves to cite history – Scout tanks were lights attached to Recon units for overwatch and fire support.. The actual recon vehicles were Jeeps, Pumas, etc. A recon unit could view more than a Medium. World of Tank Destroyers should reflect this. The recon UNIT is simulated via the Scout tank.

For example, according to Richard C. Anderson, Jr., Chief Historian at the The Dupuy Institute (a non-profit organization which researches armed conflict) , a US recon unit in WWII consisted of a mix of M5s, M24s, M8 armored cars, Jeeps and a few M8 HMC assault guns.

The armored cars and Jeeps did the actual scouting while the Lights tanks and other support forces tried to keep the M8 armored cars and Jeeps alive and out of danger.

Wargaming can (and should) easily simulate historical recon units by giving Scout tanks the best View Ranges. If history is truly their goal, then their course of action seems clear.

CW != Public battles. MLG players != the entirety of the player base.

Solution: Sell all underpowered heavies and TDs as Tigers and Ferdinands, play OP french light tanks or T71 and stop complaining.

Unlike some I use the exact same nick here as in WoT for common courtesy. And no you would not, given your dossier which I have open in another tab right at this moment. How about actually trying firsthand how reliably something like the D-25 can *actually* hit weakspots and shit? (BL-9 and above don’t NEED to aim for weakspots to wreck the stuff you drive to begin with.)

What *I* play is more than Kingtiger and Ferdinand. Better than you do either, for that matter.

More importantly I don’t cry and whine about, quote, fucking light and medium pussies ruining the game, unquote, like a textbook 45er tard who can’t fathom why he doesn’t pwn everything under the virtual sun in his stronk heavies.

Another solution that I haven’t seen proposed…yet we know has been considered (please don’t persecute me):

- Nerf 6th Sense. Scouts would be much more valuable if every tank they light up didn’t know and immediately run for cover.
