Hello!
As we all know, the removal of the Tiger II (10.5cm Kw.K), Panther II and Coelian remains a divisive topic. Many players yearn for their return, while others believe they should be gone for good. So, can I get some numbers from you all?
Returning via recurring event would be nice. Instead of the same same every year with the Maus, could just rearrange the vehicles. 2024 Maus, 2025 Coelian and blah blah blah.
I selected the Tech Tree Option, but expanding the Maus Event with the German Trinity or something along those lines could also be done.
As long as US T series in game …just return to tech tree
Add back the coellian, keep the tiger 2 105 and existing panther ii for the players that had it. Make a correct panther ii for the tech tree
isnt this like the second thread you opened about this…
This one is purely about gathering Data.
That’s my preferred option too. I think the ‘prototypical-ness’ of them warrants a rarer status, but not one of total unavailability.
The more threads get created, the higher the chance that development sees it and thinks: “the playerbase seems to really love these three tanks, and is sad that they are unobtainable, maybe we should do something for them”.
It’s my first forum post, actually. This is just to get a general idea of what the community wants, if I were to make an argument for the vehicles’ return it would be a separate post.
That’s a personal hope of mine. Does anyone know where the majority of the Russian and German community stand on this?
We don’t need more fantasy/vehicles that barely left the drawing board, admittedly these options don’t break the game that much.
But facing the U-SH 405 and Raketenautomat which never even went past the prototype stage is a miserable experience.
Where do we draw the line? Waffenträger E100 could be another WoT copy paste vehicle and it would just be a bkan on steroids and a nightmare to balance.
I did Russian threads on this and the reactions had been very positive and in favor of the return of the 3 German Tanks. Then Gaijin shut that whole forum down rather quickly. Only did one German thread that hardly got any attention.
I would rather face a vehicle that was not fully built at the time, but could definitely have been built, instead of a vehicle that is anachronistic and could not have been built at the time because of lacking technology.
Thanks for bringing that to the table! I can’t speak Russian, but I’ll run it through a translator to get the gist of things.
Your statement makes sense but you havent faced either of those vehicles (USH/RK). No one feels true fear until one of the little buggers absorbs a AP shell and can still freely spam HEAT rockets at you.
Yes i have, and yes they can ruin your day (especially the USH, because he is so fast).
And both have no reload time on top of that.
I can understand your viewpoint. For me, it’s more that they were once (or are still, if you have them) in the game and seemed to fit quite well - like you said, they were hardly game-breaking.
I think they fill their place very nicely, the 7.0 lineup of the Panther and Tiger isn’t really replicated by the replacements that were added. I play the Jagdtiger quite often in Arcade (oh, the horror), and those two would bolster my lineup far better than the Panther F and even Tiger II H at 7.3 AB.
Brrr, the sounds of rocket spam from those little devils haunt my dreams. And I wasn’t aware that they were concept tanks, thanks for pointing me towards that rabbit hole.
