id say the main draw at 11.7 is the firepower, though the reload only being good for 4 rounds is frustrating. relatively poor mobility for the BR, LFP is weak (lack of spall liner makes it worse) and the mantlet is a weak spot too while also taking up almost 1/3 of the frontal turret profile.

its got a good round for 11.7 but the ready rack can get fustrating but i personally can work around the mobility (this is coming from a very challenged challenger main so take it with a pinch of bias)

I wouldnt be bothered by the mobility issues if It weren’t for the fact that it doesn’t compensate elsewhere.

If it were a mobile bunker one of the harder MBTs to kill, then it would be really good. Especially with Gen 2 thermals, something not massively common at 11.7.

But it just doesnt compensate

With the new packs, they could have at least put some effort in and replaced the crew xray models with female ones, but I guess even that was too much effort.

Now make a small turn with the OES and watch your speed drop away to nothing after a few presses of the A or D key

another thing that doesnt happen as much after the inertia change

My point is, again, why is it a 70 bangers for a damn skin.
IT should be a skin for the standard MBT for like 3 quid. Same for the other MBTS. And anyone daft enough to buy this is just as big an issue of the vehicles themselves.

personally, I’d rather anime slop be kept as skins that folks download and not have to see 12 different types of body pillows every damn game

The literally expand it and take up what could be a slot used for even a real damn reskin of a TT vehicle, much akin to the M60A3 RISE or the Type 61.

These

It inherently does get in the way of some other vehicle as they have derived some form of time and effort to it oppose to spending time and effort on what could be something else.

They are pretty damn stupid, and they definitely should have made as buyable skins which no one would have to see, oppose to fking skins which come with body pillows which everyone is forced to see.

These things are pretty damn stupid, as well as the avatars mate, 100 percent for desperate weirdos xD
These are not real skins in anyshape or form, they’ve just been made to cash in on it lol.

The games supposed to be “semi realistic” in what way is being forced to see damn body pillows is realistic.

Jesus I read that too fast. So then they don’t even know what’s Fk’d and not on the tanks anymore

Well, that’s typical of gaijin (foreigners). They have such an extremely neglected reports section, failing to correct accepted reports, ignoring very important ones, and only looking for insignificant reports to fix. They fix one important issue and then forget they even did it. Don’t announce it too loudly, lest the devs find out and decide to revert it to how it was before.

im hoping they mean there going to give it a trunnion module like the T80S leopard abrams etc that might help with mantlet armour

Just so long as they don’t ‘fix’ it like they did with M735.

Hur Dur! Trunnions need fixing. Down to 4mm it goes!

@Morvran might be interested in seeing this

Giving me access to image editing software and the WT CDK will be proven to be a mistake soon.

Ooh, maybe finally some fixes coming then. Something at least to add to the Overhaul post
