Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

yeah still hoping they give it darts and shove it to 11.3 so I can only see it in up tiers

I think with darts (if it ever had them) it would need to be higher still. 11.7 maybe. It can already shred MBTs with APDS

I think part of the reason for the drop is what Morvran said about more frequent uptiers to 11.7, but I also think that 10.7 is just way more equiped to deal with the BMPT than 10.3.

I mean the only 10.3 MBTs that I could think of that would be a decent matchup against the BMPT would be the 120S and maybe the ZTZ96A. You have stuff like the Chally Mk.2, TTD Leo 2AV that could maybe work, but they are very limited. There is a bunch of LTs with decent firepower, but they just get shredded by the autocannons when spotted.

Meanwhile at 10.7 the US has the 120S (still) but now also has the M1 and M10, Germany/Sweden/France have the 2A4 which is solid, Italy has the Leopard 2A4 for all round and the Ariete for firepower, Britain has the Bishma for armor and the Chally Mk.3/Chally DS/Vickers Mk.7 which can deal with it fine using L26, China still has the ZTZ96A but now also have the T-80UD.

Only Japan and Israel are missing here, but they don’t have a 10.7 lineup to begin with.

while true I can still pray its cast off to above 11.0 where it realistically should have been from the start

Oh yeah I agree it should probably still move to 11.0.

Should be 10.3 because it should die and have zero survivability like it does in the real world. 10.3 would have been fine if it exploded and didn’t have these artificial buffs.

Better round better armour, m829a3 and nice to have something more

Yeah. L23A1 feels like im firing blanks against soviet vehicles, but L26, which is a relatively minor upgrade, actually feels like it works. Its wierd.

But yeah. needs to be 11.0 still though. 9.Xs should not being seeing it. Heck. I dont even know if 10.0 or even 10.3s should be

I did see a good suggestion to move the premium one with 3 crew up to 11.0, and then give the TT one with 5 crew a few buffs and put it at 11.7

You assume it will have a better round.

Loadouts remain a balancing decision, could keep A2, given it is the second best round in-game at the moment, its not like the US desperately needs the buff. But they might move the goalpost forward for everyone at the same time.

Yeah also forgot to add it will recive an apu, and i know they don’t work in game but gajin said they will implement it in the future as a feature, it can also recive m1147 round but that doesn’t really matter in wt as it’s kinda useless

we wait for Polish tech tree

Not sure why it would have zero survivability with the hull and ERA it has

If we take actual real life survivability into account, tanks should just count as destroyed as soon as they get penned/lose their tracks/have their barrel broken/etc

10.7 is a much more reasonable BR for it overall, but like the others said, giving it darts and moving it up to 11.3 would be a better outcome

I’d rather see a seperate Indian tech tree or a Czechoslovakian tech tree, but Gaijin would rather blow money on infantry than using that money to add more TTs or improve the general state of the game

Well they did say they are planning more tech tree’s though

One problem, no top tier MBT

The crazy thing is Sepv3 should have been added when they introduced the 2a7s into the game, let alone when they added rank 8 tanks. Still don’t understand why they keep holding off on it unless they’re trying to do rank 9 tanks like they are doing with planes, but still should have been added years ago.

They say a lot of things lmao

Fair point

well because hitting the turret wouod detonate the ammo killing the crew. ERA protects the hull, it shouod function like a glorified SPAA

That would require a change to how ammo detonation works in general, hitting the ammo of a vehicle almost never is a 100% guaranteed kill, even if the vehicle has no blowout panels or other ways of protecting the ammo or the crew from detonations

Also, wouldn’t the crew in the front still survive?

Yeah, I caught a bit of that too… it’s going around the whole dang country. I got my package just before Christmas.
