He’s very wrong about hulldown not being possible for the 183 now, however you’re wrong if you think you can’t offensively use hulldown locations.

I’m really glad to see that they finally buffed the turret armor, kinda sad to see the mobility go though… I wish this tank was more like that premium tier ten VK tank with beast frontal armor… but that would be a little OP.

No, the hull colour is lighter because it is comparatively worse than other parts of the tank (i.e. the new bit son the turret). If an armour area stays the same and new armour areas with better value get put in above it the first areas colour will lighten, since the scheme is showing you where the weaker parts of the tank are in comparison to each other. Similarly if new worse areas were added the colour would darken.

How is hulldown better for attacking? And don’t worry it most probably won’t become a Maus all of the sudden.

And the UFP was not nerfed. They introduced thicker armor which changed the colour scheme, look at the other areas, other changed colour too.

Because Russian meds and the IS7 can’t hulldown or anything, with their low gun depression, right? ;)
