I mean, sure you have Ultimate Cannon O’Doom, but that’s it, the tank is there just to carry the gun around – think ISU, only two tiers higher and has a turret.

At the very least give it a good camo value, otherwise it’s really gonna be useless.

PS: Everything I said applies to Conway as well (Centurion hull, boxy paper turret, even weaker gun).

In regards to ‘play fair’, driving out into the middle of a field is not ‘fair’. Using terrain to flank the TD is. I am sick of people in this game wanting to play it like it’s COD. Drive into the middle, guns blazing, using the most OP Ruskie tank in the game. Touch an IS/Obj and everyone would lose their minds. People are lazy and don’t like doubling back to go around things like TDs.

I have also been known to indulge in a little war thunder (shhh, don’t tell WG), but do believe that WG can strike the right balance between a bit of realism and game balance, without making it too CODish.

I do get what you are saying though. It’s tough to add things like TDs and Arty to the game and then balance it so that they aren’t ‘glass cannons’.

What a waste of tech tree line, I sure as hell ain’t grinding it, and I love TD’s.

I expected a LOT more WG.

However i can see that the view range change will increase the 15/0 land slide victories. This will be because the sides will need to rely on the scouts to spot more. if your scout is dead then your whole team is dead.

I rather see the TD class to get nerfed into the point that max 1-2 are beeing seen in the random games, just like 8.6 arty. This game was never focused around artys and TDs, its just that WG didnt know these support classes would be so popular and they also did a big misstake making alot of balances in 8.6 that made TDs the jack of all trades.

And the entire line up to t8 does interest me, but the t9 and t10 are…going to be fun to shoot xD

1) Suicide scouts do their thing and die immediately, leaving the entire team near blind and at a disadvantage as they now have no view range due to the nerf.
2) Good players will abuse the hell out of their view range and not spot for the team, but unfairly snipe with their very good 90mm at targets which they know can’t see them.
3) Good players who aren’t asshats will spot for the team. Think how often this will actually be the case though. Right, never.

I’m not gonna pretend I’m a saint and be no. 3 either, I’d be a dick and be number 2 as I don’t rely on team mates (for a good reason ) and instead play entirely for personal gain. It’s not nice, but I’m sure many others would do they same, which is why it’s such a problem.
