The problem is all guns are much more accurate now.
Before the pubby who sniped from 600M with his KV-2 did 0 damage. Now he’s bound to hit a few shots.
That’s the problem. Accuracy is now less valuable. Why have a Panther with L/100? At 600M, you’re not going to hit. A Soviet 122Mm won’t either. At 300M you will hit, but so will a Soviet 122Mm.

But we’re talking of something systemic when it comes to TD’s.
The accuracy changes messed up the accuracy balance of all tanks. That won’t be fixed with systemic TD changes. It’s fixed by going back to the accuracy we had before, or some other value that actually makes it so it doesn’t take skill to miss, like today.

Don’t know if you played a Leopard 1 but if you don’t try to snipe you are dammed to spot the first half of the game. At the beginning there are no gaps in the front line, for rushing in and dealing damage like batchat, the tank is too slow, too big and has no drum. The armor can be penetrated by LoL-Traktor …. but if you stay behind and just spot as top tier … you know how this ends.

So you have to put your gun to use, pop up and shoot. To weaken the enemy frontline you have to have the accuracy. Besides, I often try to shoot the tracks, but if I even cant hit the lower plate of an JgdPzE100, to hit the drive wheel is more difficult.

I like the Leo, and its good playable ATM, but when accuarcy get nerved, they taking the main good thing away.

KV-2 is an OK sniper….I’ve pulled off some crazy shots with it….but because of the slow projectile velocity and consequently high arc, you can’t lead a moving target. The exception is when the target is either below you or on a slope. You can then aim at the ground in front of it and make that shot. Extremely satisfying when you do.

Ummm, do you remember the massive accuracy buff they gave to all tanks last year? It was too much and negated the advantages of accuracy, turned derp guns into snipers. What they are talking about is correcting the overbuff to rebalance the game, I doubt it will be a significant nerf.

Forgot to mention the 35mm thick side armor, which gets overmatched easily by most guns in T10. Sounds like a pile of crap for me, unless it gets unhistorical buffs.

Blueprints are one thing, absolute fantasies are another. Thing like FV215b (120) never existed, not even on blueprints, FV215b (183) did. WG just took the hull of the FV215, put a Conqueror turret on it, and named it FV215b (120). It’s not even remotely historical, just WG staff fantasy.

They clearly don’t care, see WTE100, VK4502B, VK7201 and so on and fucking on.

I WANT TO KEEP MY FV215B!
