Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Time for a warrior nerf again bois…

@Morvran

So thats why the F4J(UK) is 12.0 in Sim but the FGR2/FG1 is 11.3. Despite the fact the FGR2/FG1 have more CMs, better engines and better RWR?

Its premium.

But still doesnt explain why the Tornado Gr1, ASSTA1 and A200A are all a higher BR than the WTD61, MFG and A200.

By that explanation, Tornado WTD61 should be 12.0

You are confusing two different factors. They asked about the GE purchase being lowered because it’s BR was.

I was talking spesifcally about how GE purchase price is set. Nothing more.

[Tubby_Vermin]

There was talk about new graphic options coming to the next patch ? Ray tracing and DLSS maybe ??

[タンジェリン_フリュゲル]

Thank goodness, I want a 7.7/8.0 SPAA for the UK, and if that means killing the Falcon’s TD capabilities that’s fine by me.

[Apollo_1641]

Hey @Smin1080p_WT, my proposal to revert the M26’s BR from 6.7 back to 6.3 got over 50 likes and nothing came of it.

Do the devs not agree with the reasoning, or is there another reason why this wasn’t acted upon?

[Morvran]

@Smin1080p_WT Typo by the way. Sea harrier FRS1 is already 11.3, not sure how it can move from 11.0 to 11.3 as it is already 11.3. I assume its meant to be dropping in BR down to 11.0 from 11.3?

@Jεcka

My guy, some nations have already reached a dead-end in terms of content. Japan has nothing more left to add, Germany has just 2A7V copy-pastes with Trophy, US has one MBT left, UK has just the Challenger 3 left.

We are in the end game now, and they still haven’t done any proper decompression of BRs (we should’ve been on 13.0 by now, not 12.0), what we have is a circus.

I agree that the balance at top tier is wacky and does need the help, for sure.

But there definitely are vehicles out there that Gaijin would use to push the BRs further. Next-gen tech demonstrators, late Cold War prototypes-- both of these are highly requested, likely to come at some point, and Gaijin would probably use their introduction to extend the maximum BR up to 12.7 or 13.0, then the current range of top vehicles would get decompressed.

Hi, I’m sorry, but I have a question for you.

Why do I see in this announcement that all Leclercs are going to 12.0 without any new APFSDS?

Is it just a matter of battle efficiency?

or is it an implementation issue?

[БрИт4нСкUй_П0дС0С]

This change involves recalculating the parameters of the APDS rounds fired by the 30 mm L21A1 cannon (and all vehicles using the 30x170 APDS-T shell as well) and consisted of the reduction of its armor penetration against both angled and flat armor. We’ve decided to postpone this alteration and not release it together with the planned Battle Rating changes. We’ll be implementing it later on as this will also affect some other small caliber APDS ammunition.

@Smin1080p_WT Is it just me or is it a blatant nerf? Not because it’s unrealistic or improperly modeled. It’s just because the developers want to reduce its effectiveness. Once again, the developers don’t like the current perfomance and intentionally reduce APDS penetration…

Let’s do the same with dm53 to balance 2a7 for example)))

[Jεcka]

@xPorkulusx

But there definitely are vehicles out there that Gaijin would use to push the BRs further

They can do that at any time, regardless of whether the top BR is 12.0 or 13.0

We shouldn’t be needing to wait on “tech vehicles” for proper decompression, we should be getting said decompression now so that some of the weaker vehicle won’t have to face some of the late Cold War prototype monsters in the future due to creation of new breathing spaces.

[xPorkulusx]

Again, I agree, I just don’t think that’s likely what’s going to happen

[TurinTurambar_]

the Falcon could be placed in 7.7 or 8.0br without problems (it would have to face more armored things than in 8.3) I don’t see the reason for this nerf

[BasherBenDawg8]

WAIT NO WAY, THE B-29 IS FINALLY GOING DOWN! Let’s gooo (still not low enough and useless as all bombers are lmfao)

[Apollo_1641]

@BasherBenDawg8

Sad but true

[Jεcka]

Unless you’re a Ju-288 i.e Gaijin’s midtier cash cow )))))

@미도리

All top tanks are going up. The Leclercs are no exception to this.

Tanks that received new shells or reload speeds were on the lower end of efficiency. The Leclercs were not.

[Jεcka]

@Smin1080p_WT

Tanks that received new shells or reload speeds were on the lower end of efficiency. The Leclercs were not.

Puts how terrible the US players are into perspective, considering an objectively inferior MBT isn’t getting a better KE round to fit its new BR better, but their objectively better MBTs are.

Give the poor 2PL the DM53 already, or at least fix DM43 already, IT’S BEEN 3 YEARS since I first reported it, and about to be a year since my second attempt at getting it fixed.

[Smin1080p_WT]

@Apollo_1641

Do the devs not agree with the reasoning, or is there another reason why this wasn’t acted upon?

Hey. It’s efficiency does not allow for it to be lowered on its current BR.

[Morvran]

@Smin1080p_WT

Tanks that received new shells or reload speeds were on the lower end of efficiency.

And the Challenger 2s with no buffs, only nerfs in the past year are considered good?

Averager shells, worse reload rate (Consider it has basically no ready rack), nearly the worse armour and worse mobility of any top tier MBT and yet apparently 100% equal in performacne to the Leopard 2A7V. Good to know

[Apollo_1641]

@Smin1080p_WT

It’s efficiency

But looking at it’s capabilities it’s objectively worse than the other US tanks at it’s BR

Efficiency is not the end-all-be-all, there’s other factors that go into this, like what kind of player plays the vehicles in question
