For light tank rebalance, make it so sixth sense doesn’t go off when a light tank is the only vehicle spotting you. So high tier meds can still spot, but less effectively than scouts in high tier games.

2nd suggestion would need a LOT of testing as it could make them far too influential. But an alternative to just nerfing all non-light view ranges.

Light tanks

Light tanks should be noob-friendly up to tier IV. So, vehicles on tier IV should not get scout MM. OR the vehicles should only be given scout MM after 15 games. Also, maybe a possibility to follow tanks you spotted from the enemy team. This would only be possible with a 100% crew.

Medium tanks

T-28 definately needs a buff. All it’s guns are awful. The 57 mm gun needs a minor RoF buff. M3 Lee needs a buff to it’s HP. A large buff would be the multi-gun system though. The Panther also needs a more noob-friendly gun with more RoF and less pen. 3002D needs a better L/70 and the T-34 needs a buff to the RoF of the long 76.

Heavy Tanks

The tier IV heavies definately need a buff. The B1 needs more pen and the DW2 needs better armor. The DW2 seems like a slow med with more hp atm. Churchill 7 can use a RoF buff as it has a medium tank gun and it needs to deal similar if not better dpm than the other tier 6 heavies to compensate for the flat armor. IS could use a very minor buff to the 100 mm gun to make the gun an improvement over the KV-85′s gun.

Tank destroyers

The German Jagdpanzer IV needs a RoF buff to the L/70 to make it an alternative option. Any major buff to the SAu 40 is ok. Nerf the 150 mm on the borsig in RoF.

SPGs:

Remove vehicles above tier V and make an arty strike consumable which can be used once in 3 games and can be upgraded in dmg.

Low tier derps. Pz-4, M4, T82, etc. these need some changes. Ridiculously strong and the reload is not long at all for how much fire power they get.

T2 Light: why does this thing get to see tier 4s when no other tier 2 does? It has neither the gun nor the view range to be able to deal with tier 4s. With all the changes to scout mm for low tiers, why has this tank been skipped?

Matilda: I have yet to find another tank that can win a game just by being that tank. Full blown tomato? Carries because no one can pen. Afk bot? Draw because no one can pen and time runs out. Put it in the hands of a decent player and then you get a very fast firing, high pen, good accuracy gun that will rip tanks to peices.

I would rework arty accuracy so that the dispersion is even worse than 80% center; something like 40, 50%, and buff the base accuracy so that 0.6m or 0.7m would be a very inaccurate cannon, a la ConquerorGC. This changes the aiming philosophy from aiming to get a direct hit to the general application of splash damage, which is inherently lower damage. To compensate, arty DPM should be buffed across the board, though testing per piece would be required.

Next, I would buff splash range for lowtier, midtier, and hightier arty. Something like 3m at the lowest for tier 2, to 30m at tier 10 for the T92. Splash range only affects overall damage output and non-penetrating hits, which are currently a problem–arty fire is currently an instakill or a joke. To decrease the effects of splash range, I would nerf the alpha damage on artillery such that their HE rounds are only 20~30% higher damage than the HE round of an equivalent TD gun. It would be worthwhile to look back at the outrageous alpha potential of tier 9 and 10 TD’s, as such high damage, automatic pens are not healthy for the game.

The overall purpose of these changes would be greater differentiation amongst artillery pieces and a more healthy, consistent style of play for these vehicles.

Also worth mentioning are medium tanks. I am aware that tier 10 medium tanks do everything by design, however, this makes comparing medium tanks rather easy–problematic if theme or feel is an important aspect of the game. It changes from, “this is the tank to pick when you need incredibly accurate sniping on the move” to “this tank is blatantly better at medium tanking”. The only changes I can suggest here would be picking a more well-defined theme to that line and to change statistics accordingly–perhaps the Bc25t could stand to lose some gun depression, accuracy, and gun handling in exchange for a faster in-clip reload and higher stealth. Maybe the Object 140 could lose turret side, rear armor in exchange for much higher HP:ton and hull traverse.

I am aware that changing medium tanks would involve changing many player’s favorite vehicles, however, they do all feel really samey at the moment, and that means that tanks like the M48 Patton, FV4202, and 121 blatantly lose out to tanks like the STB-1, BC25T, Object 140.

- Leopard PTA
- Leopard 1
- Type61
- Tiger I
etc

- T-54 should be nerfed heavily on VR or make hull 100mm

APCR: Reduce damage. Percentage unknown, but at least 25%. Same reload. APCR rounds were sub-caliber.

HEAT: Reduce accuracy. HEAT shells suffered from accuracy problems, particularly with rifled guns. And the effectiveness of HEAT is also severely affected by the spinning of the rounds.
