Since it’s a heavy I do like the armor to be somewhat reliable, but now the turret has been turned to crap, I’m especially talking about the roof, now people won’t even need to aim for the commander’s cupola, most guns will now be able to just overmatch the huge roof plate, as well as cupola itself is now weaker and wont get some miracle bounces when hit in the sides at high angles. Of course this won’t change much in mid to long range fights but in close range it will be worse, and that’s the thing with this tank and me, since I’m driving a heavy I do like to fight in close combat, be in front of everyone else, not sit back and snipe(in a heavy). I’m just not used to this tank yet after the T32 and also I’m still using the first 120 mm gun, after a while I’ll get used to it and probably wont have any problems with this tank.

This is just another example of nerfing the tanks down to the lowest common fucktard denominator….

5mm? they removed the +30mm mantlet armor and the 240mm Turret armore behind the mantlet…

I somehow have a very strong feeling, that when T29/T30 will be remodeled to HD, they will nerf their mantlets to 200mm too. And then will the shitstorm of whines start, because the strongest points of those tanks will be gone..

Same reason why SP got its nerf when it already had massive weakspots head on. Tomatoes can’t pen it on the hull. Thus we make weakpspots bigger so they can have a chance to hit it and give it less armor around the autoaim zone.

Add 5mm to a tank. Nothing significant.
Remove 5mm from a tank. OMG WG YOU FAGS!!!

Some people think armor is GOD… But never understand that armor becomes pointless by Tier 6 as everyone can penn everyone else with exceptions to bouncing.

That is correct.
The Chieftain (WG USA) Supplied to WG a bunch of test reports from Aberdeen Proving grounds, His own measurements and logic to fill the gaps.

Hah, and I thought the Maus’ turret was easy enough to exploit. Well done WG, for making it easier.

So correct me if I’m wrong, but overall it’s a buff to the front of the turret (besides the mantlet nerf?) and a nerf to the side of the turret?
