Bad news, everyone!
About that 9.5 vehicle post….
Yup, you guessed it, pretty much everything in there is a placeholder, not just some models, especially the guns are not balanced yet. The only vehicles that are not placeholders are the Grant, the FV4005 and the Conway – and the Conway is outdated (developers decided to remove the 105mm L7 altogether, so now it has just one turret and one gun).
Basically, what happened was that Gamemodels3D site managed to get their hands on the early 9.5 ST version and used it to extract the characteristics, while for some reason, Wargaming used outdated models/characteristics in the early 9.5 ST iteration. It’s just one giant clusterfuck, so for proper values we have to wait for a later iteration.
The premiums are on the other hand already balanced.
SNAFU
Situation Normal All Fucked Up
gg WG
Not really WG’s fault that the leakers didn’t manage to leak up to date information.
Yeah, I mean, even the WG hating bandwagon has to have its limits… or does it ?
That’s why I always take “leaks” with a gigantic containerload of salt.
Would anyone please care to enlighten me about how is this bad news ? Im not being sarcastic .
Well, for one, the Conway now only has the 120 mm gun which is not all that great compared to the 105 it was supposed to have.
There really was no point in having the 120mm …
Less ammo, less pen, less shell velocity, less RoF, worse aim time…
The British 120mm is a good gun, probably the best of its caliber in game…but the L7…What’s the point of the much larger and slower firing 120mm when the L7 beats it in every category but a measly and negligible 10 alpha?
Exactly
Better overmatch, more normalisation, access to gold APCR instead of gimmicky HESH?
Call me a scrub, but I prefer the 120mm.
It probably means that 9.5 is going to come either later than hoped for or that WG is once more fucking up and increases the risk of deliveirng a bugged patch, because quite apparently they have nothing under control.
It should come “later than hoped” if things are not to be all broken.
It’s just WG’s mode of operation.
“Anything worth doing is worth doing wrong.”
QA should have caught on to what was happening and sent the new models instead of the old ones for HD modeling.
What? Are you actually saying that WG should have found out someone was going to leak an old version, and e-mailed them to say “sorry, those are the wrong files, leak these instead”?
“The premiums are on the other hand already balanced.”
Can’t wait to get my hands on AMX CdC :D
it can still get fucked by a couple stats… it is quite op in the current state, but if the gun dispersions on movement are really high it will suddenly be a so-so tank. But one can hope :D i have only ever bought one premium, but this one, if it stays as it is, is a sure buy :D
it uses the same gun as FCM50t, so you should expect something along those lines.
I’d buy it straight away, easily best tier 8 med.
The same gun can vary massively between two tanks, though. And considering the ludicrus speed, dispersion while moving will likely turn out awfull.
Also, we do not know the camo rating. While it has a low profile, camo is a balance factor to a certain degree.
Can’t be right!!!!
CDC looks better than most REGULAR TIER 8 MEDS. This violates the single biggest rule for premiums “should not be better than regular Elite tanks of the same tier”
That tank will be nerfed before going live, I’m sure about that otherwise it will be another type 59, “can’t buy” tank
“The premiums are on the other hand already balanced.”
Can’t wait to get my hands on AMX CdC
PLEASE BE QUIET WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE!
No way…that fv4202 need speed buff!!!!
4002 needs many buffs… not only top speed, but hp/ton ratio and terrain resistence.
just give it for free in first place:)
9.5 postponed until 9.6 comes out.
Can anyone tell me if the CDC comes with 9.5 or 9.6?
9.6, it haven’t been given to supertesters yet.
Dont be so horny guys.. WG will not give us another Type 59 OP shyt style premium :)
I wouldn’t be so sure, given the sheer amount of fuck-ups on their part this year.
so the Conway is not going to have the L7 gun? getting real tired about this wg shit
9.5 @ 2015
WG is finding the mole…
then, suddenly, the client crashes
All the supertesters have access to the same content and right now it’s 5 different people leaking the same stuff.
What i really wanted was having those 5 people leaking the advent calendar offers. Or even 1 of them for that matter.
Thank…er, some popular diety. Those Archer stats were horrible (aside from the rate of fire, which was just lolworthy).
Here’s hoping actual stats are closer to the ones leaked the other day.
………….the Conway will not get the L7 105mm…..it’s going to have one turret….and one gun…………………………………..WG….you better make the characteristics for the Conway freakin’ awesome if you’re not going to give it any wiggle-room whatsoever. >.>
And why I keep have the feeling that WG kinda hate brit tanks :/
I meant. You guys always say WG hate german tanks or US etc. But when you look at the brit teach tree…
It’s just one giant clusterfuck.. So what you’re saying BUSINESS AS USUAL for Wargaming. Working as Intended.. or Clusterfuck as Intended….
So… we ARE getting the AMX Cdc, SS? It’s not going to be a reward tank for some bullshit or whatever?
So, Does this mean some of the british tanks we will not get, or we are getting them except it is taking them longer to create them as usual and the models are not ready yet? I really hope we get the Firefly…..
