    • Its still coming buddy. i just cant wait for scouts to be useful again. :) I welcome the nerf lights need to be useful.

      • Off-topic but: you make them use full, by sledgehammer reworking/balancing the rest? Instead of actually redesigning/reworking how spotting works for LT’s, like adding more viewpoints to the model, increase proxy spotting range, etc.

        What is coming is the easy way out for WG…easy = not by any means always good.

        • It will still do the job. Borisg having almost the same camo (.1% lower) as T71 and same viewrange was stupid.

    • WG’s way of getting gold bought and spent for “free” xp for all those players eager to replace their nerfed Hellcats.

  1. Worse gun performance and depression than Caern, tho with 2pm better rate of fire I guess.
    I dunno
    At least it has speed since it has absolutely no armor.

    Edit: oh wait thats just the stock gun. Yeah the elite will prob be better

  2. Great gun acc, DPM and pen. Mediocre aim time, relatively bad depresion and limited ammo – 35.

    Very bad armor but good mobility. Overall it seems like a good tank but certainly not for the average noob. You gotta dodge arty shells like you’d dodge meteors, hell even tanks can pen you with HE, if 30mm is truly the thickness of this tank’s turret.

  3. I’m curious to see what rof they put on L7 if it gets one at T8 ? Considering Cent 7/1 rof is already pretty garbage because it gets one at T9

  4. Looks like a Centurion I with better DPM, top speed and acceleration, but sacrificing gun depression and armor (especially on the turret). Meh.

    • Oh, didn’t notice the terrible aim time, now it’s even worse. And seeing the aim dispersion values on UK mediums and current TDs, those will be probably terrible on new TDs as well.

      Truly meh.

  6. It looks good, but the aim time and accuracy should be buffed a bit since its same tier heavy and medium counterparts have better paper stats in that regard…or else, make the soft stats really good.

    EDIT: Since it’s no longer getting the L7 since WG sometimes likes to remove the top-guns of TD’s before they get to be publicly tested(or before they go live), they should buff the stats I listed as well as giving it a better ammo capacity, at least slightly, because it’s going to run out of ammo somewhat easily.

  7. Actually looks like a good tank, the gun just appears a bit weak-ish. Hope they’ll add a top gun, I’d only accept a 20pdr with an AT-15-like RoF/DPM. Even though high RoF will be useless with that crap-armor…
