Major Update “Tusk Force” - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

For a good player maybe, but it’s an HE only vehclie, very hard to use if you not a top player.

There was also too big difference in our statements. I made sure to indicate that it was my opinion in what I said, well, you said:

This implies it is universal and everyone’s opinion. When to people like me(who is a ground main) it could not come and still be the best update of the year.

Currently Japan does not have any viable examples, unless new information comes to light. Sweden received the KV-1 m1942 last year, but similarly lacks examples of many others to consider.

i honestly stopped watching him for his opinions, just for data leaks, update stuff, and passed to developers

youll usually be of US senator age by the time he changes topic so same for me. mans just slow. i dont dont like him, just slow lol

Any idea wheb the update will come out? Was the last dev blog the last one until the update?

itll be ready when its ready. they always give a server warning a day before release

The Swedish one is a premium.
I’m wondering when something gets to the TT?

Japan… Yeah… perhaps with Thailand or some other nation. Until the O-I heavy tank is proven to have actually existed.
Only tracks have been found so far of the O-I heavy Tank. I hope its just a matter of time really.

Would you like to see the O-I heavy tank being added to the TT?

I would like to see a lot of vehicles, as would we all, but my personal opinion is no more valid or significant than anyone else’s on any vehicle :)

Naturally I have my own personal “wants” list. As every other player does.

HE only slingers at 150+mm are some of the most fogiving to play, you barely have to aim.

And the M55 will be even more training wheel mode due to it’s BR.

once again coming to vary different experiences. Not aiming HE onlys has gotten me killed 100% of the time and did nothing to the one I shot at.

edit:

Here are my stats in HE onlys I know I played:

Spoiler




You’ll find they paint the exact opposite of easy to play.

Whenever you type M44 in the search bar for the WT subreddit or this forum the vast majority of the posts (besides the suggestions) and comments are talking about how stupidly strong it is.

Those are not all high calibre players. So yeah for a large part of the players it’s truely bs and easy to play.

EDIT: M55 will have a turret as well so it’ll be actually easy mode, where at least for the M44 I can actually see the other argument.

EDIT2: drove it around in the test drive on the dev server. Gun hardly wobbled during driving, forgiving firepower, decent mobility, likely decently survivable and a semi turret. The only thing it doesn’t have is armor.

The O-I tank is proven to have existed, just not completed before it was scrapped.

This is just an example of Gaijin being weird about incomplete vehicles. Sometimes they’re added like the Yak-141, sometimes they’re avoided like the F-111K.

As for other vehicles, there really isn’t any other rank 3+ heavy tanks I could think of without some stretch. The Panther D they bought would’ve been considered a heavy tank in Japan, but it’d be weird to have one identical Panther with a different class. I’ve also heard claims of a captured IS-2, but I’m not sure if these can be trusted.

For potential subtree heavy tanks there’s nothing either. Thailand never had any heavy tanks, and looking into the future neither did Indonesia or the Philippines.

It was passed for consideration though, if that is any consolation

Only thing that could be added is the Churchill III. Nobody wants that, they could add the Kranvagn in a dreams come true event given the chassis was made. Hell the Bkans turret was used on the Kranvagn called the AKV 151 with better HP/T over the Bkan.

Also the strv 103 suspension and 105mm

@Smin1080p_WT any chance the devs are going to keep adjusting the Elde or was that Fix all. Considering they closed my bug report yet it still isnt fixed, it’s not really a good look. Again how can one of the best off road vehicles be the worst thing to ever drive.

Is the new norm going to be implementing vehicles that dont work, saying the game engine cant handle it then ignoring it forever? Again its people upsetting seeing how no staff have anything to say given its performance.

Again answer this question if you can, if the vehicle couldn’t be modeled correctly because of the game engine. Why was it added?


Again why is this an acceptable response

If it wasn’t ready it shouldn’t have been added.

That’s a 20pdr.
No fume extractor and the recoil system isn’t correct for a 105

My bad then, im more informed on the Bkans testing over the Strv 103’s hydroneumatic suspension testing with the Kranvgan

OK so they can’t yet add power to the trailer…

Forgive my ignorance here, but couldn’t they simply increase the power of the forward car to compensate? As a band-aid solution.

It wouldn’t fix its terrible mobility like the trailer clipping into the floor, or trying to reverse on a hill, or the controls locking up when turning at high speed. Or the trailer pushing you when braking instead of using its own brakes.

Again why add a vehicle if you can’t model it.
