1. - it’s possible FV304 will be nerfed

   NOOOOOOOOOO

   Leave Little Bert alone!

   - Storm states that he will investigate artillery accuracy, there are no guarantees it won’t be touched (SS: earlier it was confirmed that the developers want to nerf tank accuracy a bit)

   Artys have shit accuracy, no need to nerf it even more (some of them needs buffed, example: SU-8)

   • No they don’t. Now quit playing retarty and grow a pair.

     • BERT AINT JUST ANY ARTY… ITS FOCKING BERT!! IT HARDLY IS ARTY… ITS A BOX BURSTING WITH TROLL!

     • I love playing my cute little FV304 :) Has to be the most enjoyable tank in the game :D

     • retarty

       Salty bitch spotted ;)
       Yes, arty is unbalanced, it’s way harder to do the kind of damage with an arty like with TDs, HTs or MTs. Excluding the S-51 which is pretty awesome.

     • Kill FV304 and Cromwell, so that the Brits lose the only two great tanks they have. So that they are on par with the Japanese tanks which suck completely.

       • have you tried STA-1? most awesome medium I’ve ever played

         • The STA is a steaming pile of shit.

   • i agree, its surprising that they would Nerf it. It has almost no splash and bad pin, along with a long shell travel time and horrible range. Only thing that makes it fun is it’s fast reload and aim time.

     • FV304 is basically proof that high rof and low alpha isn’t any better than low rof high alpha, It does have very little rng which is nice, but it allows people to just outright destroy flanks with impunity AND reliability where as standard arty just relies on luck to cripple one tank at a time, the fv304 can switch on the dime and continue pouring down.

       As far as nerfing it, I don’t really agree, it has long shell travel time and short range as its limiting parameters which force some degree of skill out of it.

       • Have you seen the platoons of triple FV304s lately? They make the game impossible to play.

         • Only if they are supported by their team… which is not very often…

           • And if they are at least above average players. Potatoes in berts will suck even more than in normal arty.

             I also have my share of 3 bert platooning. And a good chunk of epic fails at that too.
             But the morale hit is indisputable. The amount of whines and curses is significant, even before the battle even started.

             • yep. That is the why I keep playing it. The morale hit… =)

               • The best thing with Bert is that its often underestimated, and many HTs does not even move an inch when gets hit, so i can spam my shells every 10 secs, and the 2 digit damages will add up to an acceptable sum ;)

               • FV304 is my only (allright, not only :P) happiness in the game after they’ve taken my T-50-2 away :<

                 [*]

                 It's so damn fun, even when I decide to do something stupid and fail miserably :3

     • That’s the thing about many nerfs: The tanks aren’t OP, they are just fun. So the good players play them *and* they play better because they enjoy the game.

       I could probably play french arty as good as FV304 but I hate fucking arty play because it just sucks now. One exception FV304: More than 2 shots per minute and better than 50% hits.

       The big arty nerf was just bullshit. Instead they should have taken arty completely out of the game. It’s just broken now. Like RNG on speed.

   • Someone ‘find’ a photo of FV304 with hammer and sickle painted on, fast!

     • If it would have hammer and sickle painted on it, it wouldn’t get nerfed.

       • Funny, I remember reading an article about how the 122mm Soviet gun would crack open any German tank at many extreme ranges where they would find themselves hard time returning fire, and how accurate the 122mm was. Now, last time I checked the 122mm is pretty inaccurate in WoT. Sickle and Hammer wont save your ass from nerf hammer

         • yeah, just nerf the 304 and take away all the fun of playing the game, the 304 isnt op it just over performs, there are so many players out there who cant make it work, how can they nerf a tank where it very rarely gets a high roll on ist dmg! i rate myself a pretty good 304 player and i average 995 dmg/ battle but im always in the top 5 players with it, i would say on average i get 1 good penetration per match

2. “Veider confirms that the appearance of shitty machines in branches (SS: Chi-Ri and Leopard prototype) is there for monetization (SS: as in players skipping them for free XP), but he also adds that some of the nasty cases are being reviewed.”

   I was hoping that wasn’t the case and that the developers had just screwed up these tanks. This is pretty detestable.

   Hopefully they will buff them.

   • no they wont, or people wont skip them.
     and yes, it’s pretty detestable

     worse is that they try to sugarcoat it or just plain cover it by “it’s an unique tank” “you need to l2p it” “pro’s like it” or bullshit like that, they even have the gall of making guide videos and stuff when they should just say “yes, it’s a shit tank so that you buy gold to free XP it”

     • It’s a F2P game, nobody ever had any illusion about the reason for these tanks.

       • Aint really F2P anymore.
         Look at Prem TD not getting camo nerf but normal TD do…

         • Well it’s because a little nerf on a 20€ TD will get these poor fucks so mad that WG doesn’t want any part of that.

   • That’s the ‘price’ (one of them anyway) you pay for playing a F2P game. If you don’t like it, change to a subscription based game…..

     At least they are being more honest about tanks balancing, less of the normal bollocks excuses they make.

     • Chi-Ri is one of my most enjoyed tanks in this game I don’t know WTF are they talking about.

       120 battles, 173 kills, 2.08 KD, 1350 avg dmg, 72% hit rate.

       That little autoloader/cannon is awensome

       • I love my Leopard PTA. It really is a LTP thing. Sure its soft stats are weak, but I use vents BIA and sometimes chocolate and the thing owns the battlefield.

         • They said the ARL44 Barnhouse sucks…..in fact, mine eats KV1S on a daily basis. makes more creds and glory than KV1S for me =d

           • I bet you are playing it with 105mm. 90mm is overkill as far as penetration goes, while it has much less DPM. The 105mm has worse acc, fair enough, but sloped UFP of ARL 44 is actually pretty good for brawling, loved that thing much more than the KV-1S, or any other tier VI heavy.

       • ah yeah! I was just going to write that! I don’t understand why everybody seems to hate Chi-Ri. It is a small version of the AMX 50 100, which everybody loves…. Hope they don’t take away my beloved Chi-Ri…

   • If this is true i’m surprised. Making them purposefully weak relative to their peers is a disgusting design strategy.

     • It really isn’t so much the vehicle, but the heavy grind out of it.

   • Well i think its only related to the tanks in stock. As full tech they are both pretty good tanks (Only the grind to full tech was real pain)

     • All tank in stock suck.

       • Premiums dont.

         • Although premiums are supposed to be worse than their peers when they are elited.
           Not sure if that is true though. Just look at the E-25.

           • Which has bad pen. The rof and camo make up for it somewhat though. A good e-25 is to be feared. a bad one is to be laughed at as you bounce everything he shoots at you.

         • Of course they are “Stock” because you play them with their stock modules.
           Yet, there is nothing to research and upgrade, so they are “Elite”. That also means there is no grind for them.
           Still, they follow different rules, and provide different advantages (like increased income and crew training).

           Also, as it has been pointed, a Premium is always better than a comparable Stock tank of the same Tier, and most are not as good as the Elite version of such a tank.
           So, when someone talks about Stock tanks, it doesn’t usually include Premiums.

     • On this I would agree. because those tanks don’t suck.

   • Fucking Chi-Ri is awesome! Ran almost 59% WR in that beauty. Fucking people need to L2P.

     It’s like idiots bitching about the ARL V39. If you’re smart enough to use the 105, and not the top gun, that thing is a fucking monster! Ran almost 58% WR in that also.

     • I loved the v39. :)

   • Bad tanks? PFFT. Once again I see people who can’t play certain tanks well complaining.(note I said certain, not that you’re bad at tanks. seriously, don’t go there) Lots of people hate the M7 and its my favorite tank ingame. The chi-ri has an autoloader that empties all its shells in 2 seconds.(one firing and two reloads) Bad pen? It has more pen than my fav tier 7 med. the kv-13.
     The only hard thing about it is its size. but even that can be worked around(fcm 50t)

     As for the leo prototype…. Are you trying to tell me one of the better sniper tanks in the game is bad? really? It’s not as good as the leopard 1 at all, sure. but bad- really?

     Time to get behind my maus teammate and let him take the hate shells I’ll be receiving for my opinion.

     • Worst tank in game? I say the BDR….

       • I like the BDR. 62% wr. Got a tier 7 gun on a tier 5 heavy.

         Certain tanks suit different play styles. I couldn’t handle the A44, but others love it.

       • Thats the best t5 heavy imo. Wrecks kv from longer ranges

3. - Storm confirms that the sounds in 9.1 will be reworked significantly, shooting sounds were completely reworked, furthermore on the test, two vehicles will have their soundsets (engine, track sounds) totally reworked in order for the developers to gather feedback

   This be good. Hopefully it will be less bugged than GnomeFather (his mod started to give me stutters/freezing when there are many tanks in small area).

   Also.
   Damn SS why did you close comments in EFE vengeance? The more comments the more ridiculous it got.

4. What exactly does WG consider the Tiger P imba for? When I played through it, it felt like an awkward version of the Tiger H that coulden’t side scrape because of terrible side armor, had a weak turret, and its 200mm front was literally only like one bar of armor across the front. Less rof than the tiger h and it moved slower.

   • It’s a low skill floor low skill ceiling tank. Most players at tier 7 are still terribad, and will have no idea how to play against a tiger P, while the tank is also very forgiving for said toamtoes as the armor is very reliable if you autoaim against it, it has a nice hp pool, a reliable gun and the mobility isn’t good enough to let them commit suicide in the first minute of the game.

     • ” as the armor is very reliable if you autoaim against it,” – and totally unreliable if you don’t. Not to mention that since 9.0 autoaim is pointing right at the engine of Tiger P, so actually: Armor is shit if you’re being auto-aimed.

   • now pretend you are the average 48% siema, you cant sidescrape or angle and mobility just means you die faster when derprushing, and voila, suddenly tiger p is better that the tiger h.

   • My WR it is was disgustingly good. If you play it defensively you can keep the enemy busy the whole match, kind of like a KV4. They are only increasing the ROF a small amount and lowering HP by a little.

   • I loved my tigerp till around 8.0 was released. Then it could be fodder for almost anything in its tier. Now I just laugh when someone else plays it.

5. Veider is a retard. Period. #bringZlobnyback

   • Implying Zlobny was better.

     • Zlobny was ten times better than this fuckwit. Just watch his statements. He’s clueless. Zlobny got kicked because he refused to obey the mighty SerB(KV-1S nerf) And game balance in general was better when Zlobny was in charge. It went to shit since this shitlord replaced him.

       • Boohoo arties muh heavies.

         • ^^wtf are you even talking about?

6. The Leopard Prototype was a shitty machine? I really really liked it though

   • I have no problems with mine :) I love it.

   • It certainly was a pain in the ass to grind it. It performs well when elited, even though the gun depression is lacking and the aim time is terribad. But stock? A very unpleasant experience.

     Sometimes the said above WG shitty tank tactics applies to the tank itself and sometimes to it’s stock config. In either way, it pushes people to spend at least some free exp to make the grind easier/quicker.

     • I completely disagree with the shitty tank reference the Leopard PTA is actually one of the few tanks that is extremely good even completely stock. I still need to grind out for the top gun on it but even that 90mm is more than adequate vs the tanks it faces, learn to shoot and scoot.

       • Not sure if troll or … no, wait, I AM sure.

         • NO not trolling it is perfectly fine to play stock I play EVERY tank stock unless I have modules unlocked that can go on it I unlocked from previous tanks, and this tank is actually fun to play in stock configuration. Also if you can’t pen tanks with that 90mm then you need to get some skills and learn to aim for weak spots, very few tanks in game it can NOT pen WITHOUT firing gold.

           To me paying money for gold just to convert xp is the BIGGEST waste of real money in the game and you guys that do it are just dumb, You can easily get free xp from playing your elited tanks, but if you want to throw your money in the trash go ahead it’s your money not mine. I can easily generate 3,000-4,000 free xp a day on my elited tanks so why would I waste real money to take the easy way out.

7. Dammit… I thought they’d buff the Chi-Ri, but apparently no… also Tiger Nerf is still BS, well for the Tiger P gunna be quite shit now…

   • Why would they buff Chi-Ri? Just L2P, it’s a decent tank. Hardly a great one, but perfectly playable.

8. - T-54, FV215b (183), T69 – they don’t belong to the tanks, that use massive amounts of gold ammo (80 percent)

   SUUUUUUUURE… In my whole “being pwnt by 183′s” career, I only got hit with AP once. Once!
   And for the two other tanks, everybody not being a tomato or potato is using gold, especially blue (or better) players on T-54.

   • That’s what i don’t understand. Golds on T-54, i am blue player and have 760 games on T-54 ( most when T9 meds were top tier) and if i used 30 gold ammo, i overcast. Why so many good players especially from top clans spam golds… Skill=gold ammo

     • I use the lower pen, higher ROF/accuracy gun so I need to use more gold than average. I assume some of these other players are as well. The HEAT shells are the same for both guns.

     • Cause they are used to it. T54 gold ammo was nerfed badly, so now I use 50% AP / 50% HEAT. But T54 gold spam, while inefficient, used to be just too hilarious to not do it. Just loling all over the battlefield…

   • Blue or better players make for like, what, 2% of the playerbase? It’s quite insignificant group when mixed with everyone else.

     Now, if WG came up with statistics of premium ammo usage compared to players performance, let it even be win ratio and WG personal rating, for official uses, I am sure there would be a big increase of prem ammo usage the more skilled players are considered.

     It’s not even gold-spam-for-win thing. A skilled player will know when to use prem ammo and WILL use it when the situation calls for it. He will also have no problems funding it as the high performance results in high credit gain from battles.

   • I rarely use gold im m T-.54 and i dominate in it
     T69 i only play in TB’s and there i dont use gold also

9. Chi-Ri bad? Ok, it is not 1st class bad is far from a turd.

   • Yea, so far I agree. It was bad until the 3-shot autoloader. It feels like it has less derpfactor in that gun. Chi-To was god awful with it’s derpy gun. (Though, haven’t played much yet with Chi-Ri)

     Also can’t really say that Leo Pt.A is bad either, well it’s bad, but also the speed and maneuverability makes it fun even if it’s not competitive. Only if it had 1-2 degrees more gun depression.

     • oh trust me chi-ri is terrible, it gets heavy mm weight so it sees tier 9 games more often. At first Chi-Ri doesn’t seem so bad but u then realize its relatively bad mobility, speed, armour and lack of penetration really start to irritate you. Also it absolutely huge with no armour to bounce shots it is a big box of XP tbh. It will get penned 99% of the time and it is incredibly hard to carry games in it. Also it does not even have much health to compensate for the lack of armour or speed… Almost no redeeming features about the tank apart from the quick reloading autoloader and good gun depression.

       • lol. It’s not a tank to carry a games in. Get a proper medium if you want to do that. Chi-Ri is not a problem, it’s how you play it that’s causing you to call it “terrible”.

     • That autoloader makes some unaware or unskilled HTs a hell of a ride.

10. The comment from Veider seems like a sarcastic one made in response to someone asking a stupid question that got taken seriously. The only reason it’s getting the response that it is could be because he typically doesn’t make sarcastic remarks. Someone please look into clarifying.

11. Leo PTA bad? its a very fun tank, perfect underdog tank. Leo1 however is so utterly bad its a waste of credits.

    • Agree with the Leo PT statement, but how is Leo 1 crap? Most fun tier 10 I’ve played aside from 50B.

    • Your joking right? Leo1 is awesome.

    • Leopart prototype sadly can be taken as VK 16.02 Leopart and Leopart PT Arbeitsgrouppe.

      For the Med prototype, I can’t speak much. Still strggling with Indien-Pz.
      It’s possible that they are referencing this tank, since WG doesn’t really care much about lights.

      But the VK Leo is quite crappy.
      It is big, which means it can ram effectively, but bushes start betting smaller.
      It has a nice engine, which means it can climb stuff, but it still has only average acceleration.
      It has sloped armor, but it is meaningless against the heavies and meds it faces.
      It has a crap selection of cannons. The KwKs has too little penetration (67/130 for 70 dam) and the MK 103 takes too long to reload for better normal pen but crap damage.

      • I love VK16 Leopard =D very good with right MM. Once i took half hp from an Object 704 – full mag in his ass + fire.

        • How did u manage that? If the gun can only do up to roughly 350 dmg? Heck sometimes i bounce with that gun on a KV-1S’ arse. Unless you used premium ammo and set him on fire? But fires do not really count as shell dmg.

        • I have to disagree on the MM.
          It’s normal for a tank of such Tier, but it was much better matched when it was Tier 4.
          Back then it was good (though I likes the nA even more), and its weaopn selection was good, since it faced less tough nuts.

    • Put back stock modules on your leo and have few battles like that. The come back and say how much fun you had and how much you would not rather have everything (except for radio perhaps) elited again.

12. “T-54, FV215b (183), T69 – they don’t belong to the tanks, that use massive amounts of gold ammo (80 percent”

    *snort*

    I can’t remember the last time I got hit by a Death Star firing anything other than HESH. And T69s spam BS ammo all the time, so do T-54s…I’m starting to think the devs genuinely haven’t the faintest idea what’s actually happening day-to-day in the game.

    • I believe those (unfortunately) might be stats for RU server only

      • What? Does WG even consider the other clusters for their stats?
        It was a surprise that they are beta-testing the premium tank recovery system in the US cluster, but they make the game for russian players and focus almost exclusively on what happens there.

        • I’m pretty sure RU isn’t that much of a difference than other servers when it comes to gold ammo spam on tanks like T-54, T69 or 183.

          • RU server is vastly different in tons of things, most likely including that one. Just to remind you – that’s the server where WTF-100 got a win rate of 50% making it one of the most balanced tanks in a whole WoT (hence we’re getting a nerf for Tiger P instead of WTFmachine)

13. - trees (tree render) will not be touched in 9.1

    So, the shitty tree renderer that crapped FPSs in 8.11 will remin as is because they don’t care or aren’t good enough at programing to fix it, and the idea to roll it back to 8.10 engine (when it worked properly) doesn’t cross their minds.

    - Veider confirms that there will be an option to grind credits by “tanking” (blocking damage)

    My, finally.
    (I’m a light-tank driver, so it doesn’t help me much)

    - in 9.1 the hangar stressing the GPU won’t be fixed

    Can’t play the game because the hangar doesn’t work? “How bad” XD

    - regarding the connection between low performance and sound: “We’ll dig into it – the sound is not for free”

    JJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
    Now they’ll claim that sounds stress the system too much or what?
    Idiocy. Of course sound requires processing cycles, yet my system doesn’t stress at all when I’m playing something on Winamp while I play. And it’s a laptop, so no cutting-edge sound cards or ahything fancy.

    - Havok will come after 9.1

    At this rate, it will come around 9.4

14. lots of words update from WG,
    maybe next year they will fix the game.

15. - Havok will come after 9.1

    Jeshhh last time i saw Havok is coming, was in 2012. 0.o

    Now it will be after 9.1 and that could also probably mean in patch 10 next year.

16. - Veider confirms that the appearance of shitty machines in branches (SS: Chi-Ri and Leopard prototype) is there for monetization (SS: as in players skipping them for free XP), but he also adds that some of the nasty cases are being reviewed

    Really? they consider the prototype to be the weak link? How about all those awful light tanks or the VK30.02

17. Nerf or do anything to this absolutly most fun and adorable arty , and this account is going to the trashcan

    LEAVE BERT ALONE DO NOT TOUCH THIS ARTY TO YOU HAVE DONE ENOUGH TO ARTY….

    • Yep, nerf to the FV will basically mean that a whole branch is a suffering (more or less) till CGC. WG shows their ignorance once again.

18. - Veider confirms that the appearance of shitty machines in branches (SS: Chi-Ri and Leopard prototype) is there for monetization (SS: as in players skipping them for free XP), but he also adds that some of the nasty cases are being reviewed

    Both tanks are good for me. I never used prem ammo (for noobs).

    But i saw a lot of noobs playing Leo PTA as Type 59 or T54 …. Leo PTA IS NOT FOR RUSHING IN THE MIDDLE OF F**KING OPEN FIELD …. FFS !!!!!

    • It is one of the worst tanks stock though.

19. “- Veider confirms that there will be an option to grind credits by “tanking” (blocking damage):

    this can be good news for tanks like maus and e 100 who take allot of bounces and cost allot to repair!

20. So this is why they didn’t give 88mm gun to Chi-Ri …

21. NOOOO my li’l Bert don’t nerf it :’(

    It is not OP… Only 100 dammage per shot…

    OK great accuracy and speed but 500m range (quite short for arty)

    • The reason its accurate is because you dont shoot like 1km far.

      • this

        and why would WG nerf it? Hitting T8 HTs for 0 damage is soooo OP…

22. “- Storm states that he will investigate artillery accuracy, there are no guarantees it won’t be touched (SS: earlier it was confirmed that the developers want to nerf tank accuracy a bit)”

    Further nerfing to arty accuracy is a HORRIBLE idea. If you need to nerf the class, in no way is lowering the accuracy the way to do it, change other stats not accuracy. The reasoning is simple: Arty is already far to RNG dependent. The line between a good arty player and a poor arty player is already completely blurred by RNG; its possible for the best player in the world to miss every shot in a long match merely because the aim circle is so massive. Increasing the accuracy and decreasing other stats (more or less, depending on if you want to nerf it or not), is the best way to affect the class now. After the big nerf when the original accuracy changes were made, RNG is the dominant force in arty playstyle.

23. Who is whining about a weak Chi-Ri? This tank is awesome! As soon as it has its autoloader installed, it is a great support tank. Use the terrain to your advantage and fire your shells into the back of your enemies, then retreat to reload and pop up at another place….

24. LEOPARD PTA IS NOT SHITTY! Really whoever says that can just GTFO and L2P.

    Also Chi-Ri might be the biggest arty magnet of its tier, but it wasn’t that bad. Quite fun and unique tank.

25. CHI-RI – 59% WR
    169 battles
    Kill/Death Ratio 1.94
    Damage Caused/Received 1.04
    Average Number of Vehicles Destroyed per Battle 1.21
    Average Damage Caused per Battle 1,072
    Destroyed Vehicles 204
    Experience 107,176
    Maximum Experience per Battle 1,729
    Hit Ratio 76%
    Damage Caused 181,114

    So what is wrong with this awesome tank again????

    • You are good … my win rate is only 52% in 65 matches :(

26. FUCK STORM, FUCK STORM, FUCK SERB FUCK WG AND FUCK WG.

    Very soon they will nerf type 59 turret? Fuck you WG, you filthy deep shit company.

    • Please don’t play the game then.

      • If any more nerf touches the type, I want a chance to sell it.

        • I will buy it from you :) In silver :)

27. Great, that explains why I am not happy these days when playing WoT: I just started grinding the Chi-Ri

28. - Storm states that he will investigate artillery accuracy, there are no guarantees it won’t be touched (SS: earlier it was confirmed that the developers want to nerf tank accuracy a bit)

    This statement of artillery accuracy is a complete joke, I play arty and it can be quite fun, but ANYONE that plays arty knows what I’m about to say is true:

    1 match it seems just about every shot you make hits and does damage to enemy tanks even if a slight miss it still does splash damage, then the next game EVERY SINGLE SHOT MISSES, it’s like you couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn with an atom bomb. This is the ONLY class in the game that is 100% reliant on RNG there is NO accuracy, the RNG decides whether or not you have a good game. Also when RNG decides to troll you when playing arty your team almost always losses since you aren’t able to provide them with ANY support fire.

    Also if you think I have no idea what I’m talking about or how to play arty look up my stats and you will see SPG is one of my MOST played tank classes and I own EVERY German artillery an ALL the Russian arty up to tier 6 and I also have the S-51 I got from the KV-2 line. I have played 3,196 games in artillery which is 20% of all my games played and own 17 different artillery tanks so YES I do know what I’m talking about.

    • - Storm states that he will investigate artillery accuracy, there are no guarantees it won’t be touched (SS: earlier it was confirmed that the developers want to nerf tank accuracy a bit)

      “there are no guarantees it won’t be touched ”

      Remember 8.6 when the accuracy distribution was changed? WG wanted to buff accuracy to all tanks except arty, but because the aiming mechanism is the same for ALL vehicles, they “nerfed” arty accuracy.
      Now the same thing happens again – if WG want nerf accuracy to all tanks except arty, (by changing the distribution) artys accuracy should be “buffed”.

    • “1 match it seems just about every shot you make hits and does damage to enemy tanks even if a slight miss it still does splash damage, then the next game EVERY SINGLE SHOT MISSES, it’s like you couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn with an atom bomb. This is the ONLY class in the game that is 100% reliant on RNG there is NO accuracy, the RNG decides whether or not you have a good game. Also when RNG decides to troll you when playing arty your team almost always losses since you aren’t able to provide them with ANY support fire.”

      I know that feel man

    • And talk about the maps… 60% chance to land on a map where arty is useless (himmels, siegfried, ruin etc.).

29. “- Storm confirms: Soviet tier 8 light tank will be the LTTB”
    Remember how people called the gift tank LTP “Learn To Play”? Now they’re gonna call the LTTB “Learn To Tank Better”.

30. So… If WG nerfs the accuracy of the FV304, what will they do to balance Bert? Increase the alpha and splash?

31. Am I the only one who did not get past possible FV304 nerf?

    DO NOT TOUCH MY BERT! Only fun tank I can play at the moment.

32. Well, i like Chi-ri, is a tank that needs a good driver and good situations to exploit his advantages… but in the other hand i dislike a lot Leo serie, for me PTA is the worst or second worst in tier (object 430 is the other) and Leo I … well, like PTA other tanks can do his job much better.

    For me the problem in PTA is in the lack of use in static positions, here Cent 7 is superior and Type61 is the king, what is the point in a fast med that cant use terrain when arrive to a good position??? is to flat and many good hull down positions are negated to it unlike with Cent and Type and out of this situations his lack of armor and high number of criticals (hello ammo rack) made it useless as close combat fighter… PTA adapt very bad to open maps (specially after WG start intruducing more holes in the terrain) and in closed maps needs move behind heavy armorer tanks supporting… no use for his mobility… he can reposition fast but usually alone cant do the job.

    Leo I… well, after release of STB is even more obsolete, to be a paper med no camo and high critical rate kill it and well, new soviet meds offer more tanks that can do his job better.

33. Yes, lets nerf the only artillery in the game that requires something resembling skill to use effectively.

    Bravo, WG, clap clap.

    • this ^^^ couldnt agree more

34. FV304, Cromwell and Centurion 7/1 are the only good tanks the Brits have (excluding 215b 183 with HESH)

    These need to be left alone.
