Tort has been subject to nerfing and I suspect it will get nerfed when all current fv183 players will flood to it.

Um no, Tortoise (the non turreted td in this case) has 0.297 accuracy and 1.67 second aiming time with 100% crew, so the fv is getting the reduction, its just a great gun to start with.

And that is despite the fact the Tortoise has amazing gun handling and most of the time will get on target faster than a turreted td without needing to move the hull.

No, I played both TDs and arty and yes they are dependant on spotters some times and that is the whole issue. They encourage camping because they are not designed to move up and suppoer in close to medium range like heavys and med tanks. TDs and arty dont enhance the gameplay for anybody, why do you think 90% of all players complain when there are alot of artys and TDs in game? Well, because it will become a campfest.

Its not about personal war its about fact. How does arty that can hit you from the sky and over slopes for 500-1500 dmg enhancing the dynamic gameplay? And how does TDs which hit you for 400-1000+ from long ass distances enhance the gameplay? It doesnt, because these vehicles are designed to prevent movement of heavys and mediums. How ever the devs never anticipatesd that arty would be so overly popular so they nerfed it and now they must nerf TDs because they became the newt arty. This are facts, because TDs are roughyl 1/3 of all tenks played and that is TOO much.

Also scrub? Are you kidding kid, say you game tag and ill take a look at your stats TD-kid.

Camo is simply based on how tall a tank is, or how short it is overall. Since the shorter it is, the easier it is to hide it behind soft cover like bushes.

This is why the Jagdpanzer IV has one of the best camo values of all TD’s in the game.

On the other hand, the Conway, has the tall Centurion hull, with a ridiculously tall turret on top of that. It will have shit camo value, as it should. With only -5 gun depression it will have to expose its entire turret when trying to shoot from a hulldown position. Cannot wait to pen it’s stupid turret. :D

Your such a whining little scrub FP. 1500hp and crap armour at tier 9, this thing will easily get smashed by tier 7′s and up. especially in city maps. Heck, you would just auto aim it and be confident at penning it every time. Your personal war against TD’s and arty is just shallow. If only you’d realize how reliant TD’s and arty are on scouts who don’t just suicide rush, and scouts that don’t just camp in a corner, perhaps you’d have a better appreciation.

WOAH WOAH WOAH. Hang on.

>1.82 seconds
>0.30 accuracy
>TURRET

What the hell is this bullshit? These values have always been for non-turreted tanks. If anything, the gun should be at least 2 second aiming time and 0.32/0.33 accuracy. It’s like the T28 vs the T28 Proto. Because the T28 Proto has a turret, it has worse gun stats.

Get with the program WG!

Well the stats look good, I probably will like this tank.

I do have on gripe, though it is shown in the post to have been fixed, and that was the initial proposed health for the vehicle. 1250 hitpoints for a tier 9 TD? The current lowest is the SU-122-54 at 1530. 1250 would have made this an incredibly camo-reliant vehicle due to the effective lack of armor and significantly lower than average hitpoints for a tier 9 TD. Heck, the AT-7 at tier 7 has the same hitpoints! And otherwise the average hitpooints for tier 8 tank destroyers is only slightly below this. /rant

tldr; Originally proposed hitpoints for Conway is dumb and the developers should feel bad for even considering it.
