Yup,more reasons fore suicide scouting I see.If they really do want to make it balanced,the view range nerf is fine but the view range limit MUST be removed.Stupidest mechanic in the game.

The original gun for the Sturmtiger was supposed to be a short barreled 210mm cannon, of which ingame the GWE-100 already has a long barreled 210mm cannon.

The 380mm rocket mortar was just what was available after the Reich started to cannibalize the surface portion of the Kriegsmarine.

I think HTs should be restricted to the max speed of a Maus. Just to fuck them up.

They didnt nerf view range on all TDs, for example they left it like it is on ferdinand 380 meters due to its bad camo rating. You must understand that some TDs that got nerfed in terms of view range did outspot even scouts due to having camo skill, net and even binos. Even if they nerf view range, using binos you will still get around 470-480m spotting range not to mention their better camo rating. They only nerfed view range for like 20 meters and that is not much to be fair, but it is a statement, a more psycological statements to discourage people from flooding TDs.

Who cares about real life anyways? I think meds should not have more pen than tier 10 HTs even if they use apcr which has less normalization. As I said they need max 235-240mm equivalent AP pen which is around 250 apcr pen I guess. Now days not only do they have more pen that can punish heavys frontaly more effective than other heavys can punish eachother, they also have stupid 330mm of gold ammo making it idiotic. I even think 250-258mm AP pen is too much for tier 9-10 HTs because that means you can pen other heavys frontalty at crazy angles etc. Not to talk about TDs with 270-300mm AP pen that is idiotic as well.

In WOT the tier 10 mediums may be MBT but that class doesnt exist in WOT, they are still mediums tanks and should be balanced accordingly. They have too much pen for beeing mediums tanks (specialy since even HTs have too much pen in some cases) and they have too much gold ammo pen. Good aiming should be rewarded not just autoaim, snapshot and load gold and pen and make damage and rely on RNG.

They are awesome in good hands, but still hey are balanced enough to not have overall OP WR like some of the other tanks. Other tanks are just too good generaly which cant be denied.

Yes that is true, some TDs need to get both AP and gold ammo pen nerfed. You dont need more than 250mm AP pen on any tank or the equivalent in APCR.

Then I guess some tanks will have to suck big time then because WG wanted to nerf tanks having too much pen. There is no reason T34 and Löwe should have more pen than regular tier 8 heavys (225 ish).

Except the game if far from being any realistic/simulator and basically no one cares. So giving the STiger 380mm launcher 1,2-1,5k dmg, 30-50 second reload and regular armor would give us an TD “arty” piece that can fight in front line. Here you have it, overall balanced

No one cares how big the gun is and what alpha it should have comparing to 17cm and 183mm. No one.

T9/10 meds ingame are somewhat the breaking point to MBTs in real life. Armor doesnt matter that much anymore, mobility matters much more. Couple that with vastly improved ammunition performance on “smaller” caliber guns (100mm/105mm) and you get nearly only drawbacks for HTs.

To your RL argument: Show me a tank with HP in real life :D

Its a game after all and T10 meds need an edge over their t9 predecessors. They cant have even more mobility – otherwise LTs have no place anymore and other tanks would cry.
They cant have even more DPM – otherwise TDs would lose their only advantage.
They cant have even more armour – otherwise HTs would be completly useless.
That leaves us with penetration – and that is somewhat historical, early MBTs got such good guns that armour doesnt mattered anymore in RL. And this killed the HT in RL – like T10 Meds kill T10 heavies in WoT.
