You mean you respawn AGAIN later right? Like multiple respawns… No fun in just arriving late to the game in a low tier :P

So all right. Not a bad idea,… kinda like that actually, but personally i think little will change because of that, players will still mass up the queue in a uneven scale cuz they want that one-sided game of “sealbashing” in their jagdtiger. But i am a pessimist so i hope i get proven wrong XD

WG said they will made low tier tanks respawn later, so I was kinda looking forward to that.

Respawn…. Really? i mean… really? Omg that stuff should be for arcade battles if anything. If you want respawn, historical is probably not the way to go bro.

About getting killed easily in lowtiers. well yeah you tend to get that treatment right now on the test-server because no-one has any balls, and if you do go low tier the mm can’t do nothing but give you shit to play!
As it is now the MM appears to be strugling. Every time i press queue it tells me ALOT of heavies and td’s in queue. 0 in medium 0 in light. If you choose a heavy = prepare to wait for fail mm. Choose a light tank = insta game and also instadeath as you realize the mm is much much worse than it should be.

Am sorry if my tone sounds harsh, just really irritates me that you actually evaluated and took the test serious, as it is clearly broken (new gamemode part that is)

I really really really hope wg don’t release historical battles as it is now, its a face. Then its team battles all over again. There you could choose every tank you like and get raped if it’s not a certain “unwritten” set of tanks. Thanks WG

Now at least we have a tank restriction – which is accurate and seems like fun. Only the big tanks join as there is no spot-fillers on low tier tho so new kinda error.

Actually, the OP said it was rigged:

“Of course WG finally hid the tier table, the MATCH RIGGING was (again) fucking obvious”

Historical battle mode: played a few. It seems to me that it’s just not worth it playing low tiers because you get killed easily. Also, the game doesn’t last long. Hopefully they will make respawn possible in the future, that way we could get a longer battle and low tiers would have a better experience. Also, Tiger IIs seems still too strong, its MM weight should be raised a bit. And why does Easy Eight have the 75mm? Give back its 76mm! I hope Jagdpanzer IVs and KV-2s could appear in these battles in the next round.

Tank changes: Nice change with the Chaffee. The 75mm howitzer on the M5 Stuart is floating in the front of its turret. This gun should be replaced with another gun. Since .50cal and 15mm BESA got thier buff, the russian 12.7mm DShK should also get a penetration buff to 27mm. Also the camo on my Pz. III is weird.

Graphic: Very good. Great new hangar. I like the green in sniper view, but I don’t think it’s historical. I hope they could switch back to the old sniper view and give it a color filter to simulate the coated optics.

“- German tech tree looks really bad and weird with that stretched tier 4, especially when it’s double tier 4 grind for tier 5, vertical stretch would be alot better” man you don’t know how much i agree with you. That stretch make me feel bad :/

I’ve gotten consisten 1.5k-2k spotting damage in T-34 on proko, would have done just the same with a T-70, can’t see the issue there. In regular battles you usually only provide spot over a fraction of the enemy team anyway (unless you’re suiscouting of course).

I played a couple before I gave up, here’s why..

When you play a lower tier as a scout normally you can get decent exp by spotting several enemies, but in this scenario there just aren’t enough enemies to spot and of course no art to kill – and hardly any credits to get. Try penetrating a T6 heavy with a T4 light tank sometime…

This means there is no point being anything else other than a TD or a heavy. The only way to make this work is to up credit scoring for the lights/meds – otherwise they aren’t worth playing.

It’s a big FAIL imho…

“I assume he means on the lake Balaton map?”
yes, he does.

Jagdtigers (12 of them or something) were a part of Danube defense operations, one was actually destroyed in southern Slovakia, I think they fought in battles of Vienna and/or Budapest. Damn, I can’t think of a source right now.

Somebody?
