No real surprise really. Anyone with 1 brain cell knows the 183 was already the worst tier 10 TD in the game and this new 4005 is an even worse tank than the 215 so yeah… shit as expected.

You need to get that shit out of your head because WG does not balance tanks like that anymore. Oh i remember the days when big turret meant better rof and logical stuff like that, i remember those points.

Firefly also IRL has a shit reload because of super cramped space in the small turret with the 17pdr upgrade. Yet in-game it’s fast lol! IRL it also has 40km/h top speed yet in-game it has limited 36km/h which feels like driving a heavy not a medium. WG balancing is so fucked up today that logical points has no more place in WoT. Historical values are close to extinct in WoT.

Somehow i think WG is afraid of having another tree of OP tanks so they intentionally made them lacking so they can fix later. So we will put up with garbage tanks instead of OP. No more crying of OP OP OP!

FV 4005 underpowered lol!

Do you guys remember when WG was balancing tank this way : lots of armor, low rof vs paper armor, fast rof.

This is what exactly what FV4005 needed to be even close to OP. Since it has such a shit armor and depression, it also needed like 3.5 rof. But nah WG decided improved mobility>better rof.
It’ no brainer that people are snapshotting at this crap because it has no armor. That means less exposure for the enemy. Pop-out, shoot, retreat. Whereas with the FV183 you actually need to aim carefully now since it’s armor got buffed..

Anyone know if there will be a 9.5 launch event for the Brit TDs as there was for the 8.6 Brit and 8.7 German and 8.x Japanese new tech tree branches (when they were introduced)? There was no event for the new high tier LTs, so I wonder if this sort of event is no longer in favor.

They were one of the few ways to get rare reward tanks.

If there isn’t I plan to sell the Firefly (E8 is better. Mobility, Rof) > alpha) and the Achilles (neither fish nor meat – not a Hellcat, not a Jackson). I don’t know if I have the stomach fo the Beatdown tier VII Brit TD – too Challenging, perhaps.

Problem is not just the gun. It’s that it’s basically a medium tank that has a ridiculous gun and on top of that can always use its good camo. The “glass-cannon” argument made by WG doesn’t work when it 1) rarely ever gets spotted and 2) can trade shots 1v1 and peek-a-boo too easily.

Combat Car got a large buff. I had it by the time of buff but sold it anyway. There are more OP tanks on this tier.

Borsig is OP only with it’s 15cm gun, a combination of Alpha, camo and small profile along with ability to legitimately peek-a-boo makes this tank a real pain in the ass.

As of 12 cm gun… meh, overrated, it’s good but not OP.

bad players need a lot of battles to notice if a tank sucks….

I don’t know how it’s like on the other servers but on NA I have only seen few FV4005s and none of them were driven by players with a winrate above 50%. Seems like the most of the hardcore/experienced players don’t give a flying fuck about it if you ask me.
