The tank was a long time in the game, they did nothing with it so i bought it because it was a good tank, closed the shop and fucked it up the same way they did it with the KV-5. “Last chance all buy it, its insane *silently* we will nerf it for you in the next patch….”

I think, the main reason is that update 9.0 turned this game to an utter shit? Just a guess.

But srsly, I know a few people who stopped playing because of how shitty this “update” was.

>- Storm states that nothing was changed with FPS in the micropatch, observed FPS losses are placebo

“Placebo” is a good thing, so it should be “nocebo”.

>- developers are actively working on serious optimization steps

Wow, like it shouldn’t be a priority for a long time.

BTW. I played WT Ground Fources today. By the same framerate, the graphics are like 3 times better than in WoT.

But retarded Serbdrones still will say you that “its your fault, buy new PC”…

You’re full of shit. If anything, the more recent maps have been very UNFAVORABLE for heavies unless it has good gun depression (read: the Americans and the KV-1S) or is fast (read: the Russians and the higher-tier French), not to mention the diminishing role of armor caused by power creep in penetration on the guns of new tanks.

“Their nerfs of everything except heavies and some mediums.”

As stated previously, heavies that rely on armor for their survival have been indirectly (and possibly unintentionally in some cases) nerfed due to power creep in terms of penetration on the guns of new tanks. Mediums, on the other hand, seem to be virtually untouched in regards to nerfs.

“Their introduction to lagg as a new feature for standard gameplay.”

“Stronk relaying” is mostly to blame for this iirc.

“Focusing on shitty game formats instead of getting a ranked working matchmaking working.”

That’s because a skill-based MM just doesn’t work. It just ends up looping in on itself eventually.

Hmm… I see, what about hidden nerfs of the Type 59?

For examle, lets say you want to come around corner but dont know if someone is watching that corner. You move your hull around just a bit and go back immediately, you wait for bulb, if you see it then there is some1 if not you can go around. Thats exploit right there.

Also on some maps, once the game becomes passive and ppl start camping. You move slowly around covers and you get spotted. At this point you can sometimes guess exactly where the spotter is and shoot there once you are 15m behind bush (safe from beeing spoted). You might kill him or not but the way forward is probably clear to pass as he pulled back.

Also passive spotting became almost useless, cuz everyone know when the are spotted and they will stay in cover. When you do passive spotting and spot 5 targets camping your friendlies will shot and kill one, but others will go back knowing they are spoted and knowing that there is passive spotter around. Two information they should never have. Another exploit right there.

Now about the 3 sec delay. Most guns take, lats say 2.3 sec to aim, so you have 0.7 sec to stop tank or move gun over there and shoot. Oh yeah the shell also takes 1 sec to get there so its never gonna hapend unless you were expecting them right there.

Arty also have incraised shell flight time so even if you had you aim exactly where tank is spoted, you shoot, its takes shell 3-4 sec to get there and you can at best hope for some splash dmg when you could have achieved direct hit or kill.

It is not OP perhaps, but it changes gameplay in a bad way, very bad way …
