- M56 Scorpion will most likely come out in 9.7
- M56 Scorpion will be a tier 7 TD without limited MM
- E-25 is too good for premium status, but it will not be nerfed, the only action taken is the removal from the shop, as this is considered to be the best compromise to fix the mistake WG made, in other words: “the best solution out of all the bad ones”
- T-35 in the game? “Why do you need it? I can’t wrap my head around that.”
And… that’s all for this year folks. Happy New Year and wishing you all the best in 2015. Let’s make it a blast :)
HOW DARE YOU NOT LIKE THE MIGHTY T-35!!!
Exactly!
You get me!
Two modifications of the T-35 is already in the game ;)
Yea, we need the T-35 and multi-turret support!
It’s Shit, i bought T-35 in Warthunder and its terrible..
That’s only because evil planes are bullying it :’(
That’s War Thunder…
It’s amazing in WT, your just a shit driver
It’ll be the M3 Lee but worse. Considering multi-turret functionality doesn’t exist in WoT it’ll only be able to use the stubby 76mm gun which has like 100 pen.
tl;dr Worse than the TOG II
It would be oversized T-28 with more tits all over it
Why do I even need a TOG?, to have fun. Why do I even need a T-35?, to have fun. Now deliver, WG, you little shits.
the T-35′s KT-28 only has like 30mm of pen
Yes it is amazing only if its not dragged to higher Battle Rating (BR) but Maneuvering that tanks is so hard
Try the SMK?
SMK’s turret armor in warthunder is horse shit… T-35 is amazingly fun if you’re top tier but the SMK doesn’t really cut it.
Also Happy New Year!
Happy New Year ;) ..time to roll out :)
Happy new year SilentStalker!!!
Thanks SS, good luck for 2015 fellow tankers and here’s to a bot free new year!
But the T35 is awesome! It’s a big landship covered in turrets and guns. It would be as fun as seeing a TOG is.
And just as good target. It’s big without armour, and without multiturret support the firepower would not be that great either.
I have the TOG. It’s crap but I love it. This kind of tank is useless but it’s great fun so I’d say it’s worth it.
“E-25 is too good for premium status”
SU-122-44 says HECK YEAH IN YOUR FACE
Seriously with corridor meta, AT15A is sooooo much better than E-25.
SU-122-44 should have been a tier 8 normal TD.
Stupid WG.
Definitely. Try to pen tier 10 heavies at least in the side…
The SU is balanced only in tier 9 matches otherwise it’s like an E25. (And the MM is horrible)
Why would SU say such?
Your whole post doesnt make sense – 2015 came early I see :D
Still made more sense than arty.
More sense than how Su-76i got into game.
Happy New Year everyone, make it better than ever ;)
Happy New Year Silent :D Get drunk and enjoy it ;)
And Happy New Year to all fellow FTR readers :)
Reminded me.
*grabs 30% liqueur*
I got a Jagermeister-winter edition all ready :3 :3
30%? Really?
Do you wear a pink skirt when you drink it? :D
Got for free – I AINT GOING TO THROW IT AWAY.
“- E-25 is too good for premium status, but it will not be nerfed, the only action taken is the removal from the shop, as this is considered to be the best compromise to fix the mistake WG made, in other words: “the best solution out of all the bad ones””
FFS, stop locking out content.
Nerf and give ability for refund. Or change/rabalance and give refund.
This is the stupidest solution WG.
Yeah, good luck with refunding.
The problem is not about a refund, but about the fact that they try to milk the players as much as possible.

Too stronk? Put ”a’like type 59” removal, yet post something like that persuading buying that uber pr0 Xtra tank before they remove it.
Yeah.
There is waaaaay too many E-25s around to refund anything, that would be a massive financial blow to WG.
What about giving players some gold ? It doesn’t cost anything for WG.
Technically it does. All gold that WG gives now, is gold players don’t buy later.
Doesn’t cost them money directly, but one of their responsibilities is managing their game economies which means “Don’t overload your server with free gold”
It will be a massive blow?
I dont think so.
Now its true people are whiny cretins and would rather not part with their stupid OP shit machine, but honestly, not many will do that.
Another way… why not just buff other TDs? T7 TDs are kinda bad anyway.
Because the tier 7 and 8 mediums aren’t very impressive (to say the least) either and couldn’t handle the powercreep. Tier 7 mediums are ”hilarious” in plenty tier 8 and all 9 games by average having them be hilarious in tier 7 games would be a bit too harsh even for wargaming standards.
No need to refund.
What % of paying players bought the E-25 *and* would be so butthurt over nerfs to balance the vehicle that they would refuse to spend any more on WoT *and* would actually follow through? IIRC there is nothing in the T&C that requires refunds or forbids stat changes to premium tanks, WG has only followed this as a guideline, and not consistently (Type 59?).
I’d wager that the gold loss would be more than compensated by all future sales of the E-25, so long as it isn’t nerfed into oblivion.
Good luck and blow some shit up!
kk
Merry Christmas ya filthy animal. And a happy New Year :)
I see someone is Home Alone… an playing with the Tommy Gun…

Happy New Year everyone.
As for T-35,I’d really like to see it in WoT too.It’s an iconic tank and even though I think it would suck,like it does in WT,I would still like driving it from time to time :)
Loading HE on all guns could be fun though….
It will be a fun way to get practice for World of Warships thats for sure :^)
Also Happy New Year
Lol,yeah :))
How crazy are you guys to want the T-35?!?! Here lets just introduce the Tog II* while we wait for an answer.
Want to bet when WG talk about the E25 being “too good” they mean its too good at making credits, not because its OP game wise.
Oh well, its that time again so Happy New year everyone
Happy New Year 2015 \^0^/ Happiness, Good health to all fellow tankers, FTR team and Good Luck on the Battlefield

I met this roaming Scorpion… and i liked it
looks like WALL-E
SS,why russians stopped using pike nose construction? Was that unefective construction?
Yes, actually. It increased complexity, edge effects (as in, decreased the penetration needed to go through the plate), and did not make much sense when composite armor came into the picture a few years later.
However, when the T-10 came out, it made a great case.
- E-25 is too good for premium status, but it will not be nerfed, the only action taken is the removal from the shop, as this is considered to be the best compromise to fix the mistake WG made, in other words: “the best solution out of all the bad ones”
Fuck the guy who said it. Removal from the shop just fucked up the game for tier 5-7 because it was flooded with E-25s. It is OP and it needs some nerfs.
2015 – The year of the Czech branch/AMx30 branch?
And Havok too you know…
PFAHAHAHAAHAHA – good one :D
I think they should focus on the gameplay and not on new tanks that won’t be balanced anyway.
There is already enough tanks in the game.
The M56 Scorpion needs to be Tier6 for three main reasons:
1. Without any armor, it has no business seeing Tier9 with a non-turreted 90mm gun.
2. The US does not need two Tier7 Prem TDs (T28 Concept and M56)
3. I want a good replacement for the nerfed Hellcat in Strongholds.
Just make it Tier6, give it the Hellcat’s gun, and adjust the HPs, done.
I dont think IM tanks will be that common sight :D
What makes it worse is that it looks like the traverse of the T28C is limited to +/- 25 rather than the designed +/- 90.
And I still want the M56 as they nerfted the FK out of my Hellcat’s mobility, especially in reverse. :(
You must be retarded to +/- 90.
I am talking traverse, not elevation.
I should have used left/right 90 instead of +/-.
My bad.
Technical genius…
Where do you get that it was designed to have +-90 traverse? The tank is basically a Wargaming invention. Seriously, there was only a brief mention of an initial design for the T95 given in one of Hunnicutts books. There were no technical specs, aside from the intended front armor thickness and the fact that it was to have HVSS suspension.
T28C looks pretty stronk on a corner, where you can hide all the weak points (besides the relatively small crew hatches).
If you look at the drawings and the model that WG bought, it clearly was designed with a Left/Right traverse of about 95 degrees. The wooden model’s gun even rotates.
WG even modeled the wear-marks in the paint!

Explain where gun recoiler will recoil then?
I would love to… but since all that is available is drawings and a model, all I can guess is that it uses a stacked recoil mechanism and that the breach is close to the front of the mechanism.
I wish you all a happy new year and a great 2015!
Thanks and a happy new year to you too!
I wish your WoT battles will be as joyful as this movie:

They could ask same question before introducing The Panther 8.8…………..
2015, b*tches! Happy new year tankers, good luck on the battlefields!

All WG need to do is make the turret operate like it would on a normal tank then add a keybind to operate it as a secondary weapon. It’s not rocket science.
Happy NY SS for 14 hours ago
Merry Tanking new year to all of you around the globe from Québec in Canada ( the french part of Canada if you wonder ;) ) Thank you SS for all the good work and may 2015 be a good one for all of you !
“- E-25 is too good for premium status, but it will not be nerfed, the only action taken is the removal from the shop, as this is considered to be the best compromise to fix the mistake WG made, in other words: “the best solution out of all the bad ones””
And yet they leave the SU-122-44
I guess WG’s adamant in sticking to their rule that Germany isn’t allowed to have good premiums. Decent, yes, but not good.
