it’s a highly mobily glass canon that requires a playstyle reliant on perfect and flawless movement and positioning because you are dead the very second you are as much as spotted.
A newcomer-friendly and easy to use vehicle is a forgiving one that allows a player to use different and more casual playstyles to do well with; like the Tiger H1s, for example.
A light tank glass canon is NOT that xD
The pack is still neat! The only issue with it is that Hellcat is overtiered, sitting at 6.0, but that’s a game issue, not one with the pack.
Is extremly easy to use. IN most of the maps and battles you can arrive to ambush spots and kill with impunity. Is basically the WT meta (good movility + firepower)
This tank is one of the few can handle full upiters very good.
Is perfectly fine at 6.0 even can go to 6.3 without any issue.
That being said, it’s a compression issue- as dropping some of the BRs could be problematic for the vehicles having to face them in full uptiers.
We are just still in need of severe decompression across the board… but we are lucky if we get a single BR step worth of decompression every year at most.
How we still don’t have at least 14.0 top BR in Ground is beyond me.
What? When I was terrible with light tanks it was my first ever nuke.
Perfect movement it does not require.
M18 is one of the best light tanks for its BR.
If Britain had one it’d make the Black Prince & Centurion combo unstoppable.
ooo the Russian stuff looks pretty enticing, pretty cool to see a prem Easy 8 but the US pack isn’t all that appealing, but can we talk about the British pack being themed around D-Day and featuring a tank made as a very late war development?
Love the packs idea in general, as i hope it stops people from onespawning… BUT… why the bloody hell have the vehicles the worst Reward Modifier i have ever seen? They have the Lowerst modifier of any Rank III ingame… if i remember correct the Hellcat of this pack has 315%… thats the bloody same amount that a ton of Techtree Tanks have… and why the bloody hell do you make the t34-85 have more armor then any other t34-85, making it now the most armored T34-85?
I have something worse, im free acing every t3485 in the game, I only have the E which i done own yet, the partisan which im working on and soon this new one.
The British pack is severely screwed. It’s all-round lower BR than every other triple pack, including the existing German Triple pack. Canada is familial nation of Britain, nothing to do with the USA, they were a dominion of Britain when they made the Skink and only the Commonwealth Forces (Which fought with Britain) used it. Not only are you giving one to America on the tech tree but they get the only premium one?
Meanwhile Britain gets…a 3.7BR Crusader AA…Wow…
The British pack is terribly balanced for the equivalent price. It should have been Skink + Comet + Challenger, which are all 5.3BR, giving it relative parity to the other bundles.
I hope gaijin consider adding a different pack for the UK themed on South Africa in the near future too, like a Ratel pack which would be more akin to the others BR/value wise, like having a Ratel pack or something,
Ratel 90, Ratel 20 and a Ratel with twin 23mm guns, or add the G6 with it which many use as a SPAA anyway (with a potential BR drop, things arguably a tad over BR compared to other SPG in the game).
The Soviets already have a pretty solid 5.7 line-up (KV-122, T-34-85, T-35-85E, T-35-85 Partisan). The IS-1 is kind of crap compared to the regular T-34-85s. IMHO, it feels a bit overkill with an extra IS-1 and T-34-85 for an already stacked line-up. The AA Hanomag is the only unique thing in the pack because the Soviet’s don’t have any good AA vehicles in between 4.0 → 6.0.
The US pack will sell like hotcakes because the M18 is one of the most played vehicles. You can get a triple M18 line-up now.
I wouldn’t buy the British pack because I don’t want to suffer with solid shot woes.
Overall I feel like the packs could have been better. We need more 3.7-5.7 WW2 vehicles and I’d love to see things like the KV-13, KV-3/4/5, Object 222, T-100, etc added to the Soviet tree.
An extra 20mm of armor (if its that thick) isn’t going to stop any guns you face at that BR unless you get in a downtier. The main issue with the IS-1 is its sluggish w/ bad turret traverse. KV-85 is basically the same tank with worse hull armor, but its at 5.0.
I like the idea behind these but 5.x BRs are ROUGH
Spoiler
4-5 br would have been a better choice for new players, and it would also solve some of the crisis 5.x has in having the worst MM in ground. Also not a fan of things like having a light tank be your highest br vic in the pack, lights tds and spaa are fine to bring up in br, but heavies and mediums suffer a lot more.
Probably also should toss a plane in these so its an actual complete package deal, but maybe im being too greedy ))).
