Is it in this patch that many TDs are nerfed in their vision ranges?
yes
Well fuck the vision nerf, we’re getting an accuracy nerf all across the board!
Now that’s fucking edgy !
I’m fine with nerfing accuracy as long as it affects ALL guns.
But I suspect there are reasons to be a bit jumpy about it.
Just don’t touch my fv215b and Leopard
soon there will be no fv215b, its getting replaced by cheiftan(better i reckon)
If this vision range nerf goes to live server, then I somehow do not get it.. Were all those nerfed TD’s OP? Did they have way too high winrate? If not, then TD’s as a class will be screwed. Without a proper view range and with no compensaion to other stats many of those nerfed TD’s will become useless to play..
They where too strong in some situations. TD’s could spot enemies and engage them before they could spot them, hence they always had like 750 dmg advantage. TD’s shouldnt be supposed to be that strong on their own, they should be supporting the team, hence the view range nerf. Now they have to actually play with the team or they are blind.
>Implying all TDs have huge damage
>Implying only Tier X TDs exist
That’s the typical mistake so many do over and over again.
Including WG lel
SU-152. Tier 7 TD fully capable of doing up to 1k damage with a good shot.
You’re the one implying things that aren’t true.
what if team fails what are you going to do than?
Sit and die. RIP glass td’s.
Die, probably. If your team fails, you’re probably not going to make enough of a difference, even as a unicum player, to win the battle.
Good luck when your team doesn’t spot for you or that one lone scout decides to go off and suicide. Also, good luck spotting for yourself. Not a TD player I take.
Don’t care, I only have prem TDs in my garage hehehe.
How many of you have been in a game where I Borsig, either on your team or the other, was the last tank alive and killed the last couple remaining tanks from the other team? The combination of view range and camo is what WG is trying to fix. Will it work? No idea, but at least it is something. The whole idea seems to be the TDs and other “campers” shouldn’t be spotting their own targets.
As for accuracy changes, things in that respect worked pretty well in 8.5 and before. Anyone else remember how stupid it was to see Soviet heavies camping the ridge on El Haluf “sniping”? Once 8.6 dropped it was still stupid, but at least said Soviet heavies could reasonably expect to hit something when doing it.
There has been more than a year of people complaining about derp guns being too accurate. WG tries to do something about it, and people complain about that.
I’m not worried about either. Also keep in mind this is the test server, if they are not happy with the test, they will change it (at least in theory).
Is it so hard to nerf tanks with outstanding view range and camo like the Borsig instead of the entire class? Apparently it is.
Don’t now about Borsig but i was in plenty of games where spg’s were the last one alive and they spotted me first and one shoot me in td mode, yet i don’t see spg view range nerf, also this is the third spg nerf in a row. First camo rate, bush removal and now view range.
The accuracy nerf will hit td the most to since they shoot from far away.
Give them a higher HP pool comparable with heavies(AT-15 and Tortoise esque) so that they can brawl since apparently that’s WG’s intention, even for vehicles like the Jagdpanther and S35 CA that have no armor to rely on.
Brawl, dure when a RHM has the rof of 5 and 490 dmg…
and 10 mm of armour which even tier 1s can penetrate and at tier 10 they can wreck your tank easily(since ammo rack is near the gun big enough damage will ammorack you)
Yay!
thanks man been looking forward to this
whats the news? ohh yea, hd 50b and e100 need to test it ^^
HD AMX 50b is so schmexey
I have the Ferdi and I will buy the other new HD tanks to see how they look
New prems isn’t available so practically 9.6 test is boring.
I thought they learned something when they didn’t let anyone test the panther 8,8. It basically was a total fail… but, no! this is WG! yeeeay
There was a mini patch on the regular server today, changing some IMs.
TD-2 is now corrected: “Destroy 1 internal module or knock out a crew member of an enemy vehicle.”
I hope they will be more careful with these things in the future.
So, you hope?
WG will always stay WG, no hope that that’ll ever change :P
Some new tanks in test? Is there Panter 88?
should be
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 8-)
BUT, not the IS-5, AMX CDC, STA-2 or the AMX 13/57 -_-
Was DLing the test server, read that those vehicles were still being supertested, stopped the DL.
I’d rather not have to test view range with epic gg Russian test server teams.
And since there is nothing new, well there is no point in DLing 8 Gb.
11 mb/s
Maybe i’ll actually manage to log in this time, my old network was so slow that the server was always full as soon as I got it downloaded.
11 Mb or MB (bits or bytes)? If 11MB/sec, HOLY SHIT
I just recently upgraded to fibre, and I get 4 MB/sec without torrent and with it’s about 2-3MB/sec.
That’s still over 4x better than my old internet. It pulled out 0.8 MB/s at most, usually was around 0.7MB/s
Where do you live? On the same road as the WG servers, which share the building with your internet provider???
I mean some TDs gets like 10-20 meters nerf that is nothing to be fair. With binos and camo net and camo skill they still will outspot anything. Not to mention that they dont even spot themselves to beginn with. If one have over 350m in a TD with camo net and binos and skill you cant really complain because you get over 400m anyways with binos.
You’d be surprised by the difference between 350 and 370m view range, even with Binos.
And I’m NOT talking only about TDs here.
You are only suprised if you depend on view range to make damage kid.
Btw did they nerf accuracy on test server so you can test it?
They should have.
Also quit whining about vision control. You got your wish of corridor maps. Try side scraping in a Lorraine for example, see how well that works out for you.
Most TD on that list depend on view range to do damage, because their armour is close to 0 and don’t have a turret.
Not a problem at the beginning with other tanks to light enemies, but as the battles develops you need view range more and more.
Is it just me that can’t launch the game because it says “This page can’t be displayed”
It is kinda annoying since I want to know what my T10′s is going to look like ;)
no, i dont have that problem. you’re the only one here i think
Launch the game without using the launcher (straight from your install folder) or delete a file in the install folder with a long name, lots of underscores (_) and wg somewhere in the name.
I’m getting this error too, and my game refuses to update. Could you maybe put up the exact name of the file? Thanks!
I think this is only for Russia, not EU.
Nope. Not able to connect with any of my accounts.
You must be new here.
The CT is for all server clusters since there is “only one” CT cluster. It does not matter if you are EU, SEA oder NA, all on the same cluster for CT with _NA or _EU and what not added to their names in game.
Hopefully I’ll log-in just in time… I’m not playing anymore but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to test it for some time :)
None of the new premium vehicles are in the test, so no IS-5, AMX CDC, STA-2, T-54 Prot or AMX 13/57 (they did add the Panther 88 though). meh, uninstalling.
Is this the EU client so I can log in with my EU account or is it the RU client
Common Test Server is for everyone, so you can log in no matter wich server you are from.
You can log in with an EU account. However, sometimes the test server seems to get confused if you use the same email address for accounts on other servers. I primarily play on the NA server, but I have accounts on EU, SEA, and RU also. Generally logging in with my NA account works, but one version of the test server a while back logged me in on my EU account instead. Email and password were the same for both.
EFF THAT.
Where’s AW technical test ?
i am rather glad to see accuracy nerfs although even now some of my most accurate guns just completely donk shots quite often even with .31 .32 acc. as long as kv2′s aren’t sniping I could give a shit but its Russian so it will strangely become more accurate of course.
Hmm, my tiger II and vk45a are quite accurate the shot go close to middle all time. Also now you can bounce shots that are less well aimed even at close range.
Hey, I did a game in a batchat 25t and got the buttons for arty strike and air strike, but I was in a random battle. Upon pressing 7 or 8, the arty strike button (under number 7) would first be green, pressing 7 or 8 again would result in the bottom half being orange, and if I pressed it another time only the lowest row of pixels would turn orange. It didn’t do anything, and it was only that battle I think. Anyone else got this? Just a inconsistant bug or what?
I’m finding it unplayable – reticule swinging wildly all over the place for some reason. Very difficult to aim a shot. Tried it in three different mediums so far. I’ve logged on via my EU account.
i cant download it… it keeps giving me a error :( :(
Test surprise is M4A2E4…
That’s not a surprise. The E4 has been available on the test server since at least the 7.0 test if not earlier. In fact, the only server that can’t buy that tank from the ingame shop is the NA server, because the E4 was a special preorder tank here.
Is it in this patch that many TDs are nerfed in their vision ranges?
yes

http://piclair.com/data/jh88i.jpg
I get around 150Mb/s so ~18-20 MB/s depending on traffic. And that’s with torrents enabled.
Fibre is fast.
300 MB/sek, downloaded, installed, got in. Panther 8.8 is available for test try for free (7300 gold). No other new premium tanks available.
Anyone tried out the crew retraining to different roles? Remember, its WG, they can screw up ANYTHING.
Would like to hear about this too. Is it really only possible to retrain crews for gold?
only gold 600 for now
Tries to train radioman to commander – gets dismissed :D
Worked fine for me.
Tried 4 times for different nation and different qualification.
