True, I guess this will encourage people to stop being retards and use the proper L/70 gun on it. I always cringe when I see other StuG’s using the derp-gun.

I dont see any turkey tanks on the Brit medium line – Cruiser 3, Cruiser 4, Covenanter, Crusader, Cromwell, Comet, Centurion 1, Centurion 7, FV4202. Weakest one there is maybe the covenanter, the rest are all excellent.

ANy tank with that much RNG and the ability to cripple others in one shot is retarded and game breaking.

SS has always been right in the Waffle+183 war of both them being broken.

Not OP but broken. The same as arty is IMO. They make bad players have the ability to hurt good ones for one mistake.

Waffle for instance can track and kill the best player there is simply by clicking. The 183 can highroll and kill almost anything as well.

It encourages hard camping where no one moves in fear of being smashed way to hard.

IMO all arty should act like FV304. It hits often and accurately and punishes campers by hitting them over and over. It also makes arty get close enough to be spotted and killled. However things like Waffle are to much. 2 sec intra load time and snap aiming doesnt allow a person to escape. You cant fix a track and regain speed while being hit with 560 DMG every 2 secs.

It promotes bad gameplay. So the 183 is a bad design period and as SS said it will always be either OP or UP no matter what.

“well-armored juggernaut”

Ha… No it’s not. Now it’s just slow and may bounce a bit, but not much.

so they made the 183 a lot more boring to play just to entice people to play their new tank?

how about not introducing the “same” tank twice and instead increase the fun of the game through diversity.

It’s not like the armor is gonna do anything for the tank (see premium rounds).

So they buffed the StuG III. Not sure why they didn’t mention the L70 as well. Maybe it’s already on +/-10. Too bad they buffed the traverse speed, which was already great, instead of the much needed top speed buff.

lol mobility nerf to 183. J100 now is faster and still more armored than this, with 420 #yoloblazeit HEAT and gun that can actually snipe.

Why did the remove those screw on lower front armor on Maus tank ? As they are clearly visible on the real model.
I suspect 9.6 is going to get some “visual model change/fix” again.
