The IS 2 was not overperforming and the Panther 2 was good but not OP (the reload buff will not make it better at 7.0).
The whole 5.3-6.7 BR changes are just bad. It’s only bc people are always crying that they can’t kill/penn this tank and that tank. If u can’t kill a Tiger 2 or IS 2 or a Jumbo then u just have a skill issue. It’s not that hard to kill them.
I’m just sick of the excuses people are making
RIP Yah-64 true victim BR compression
I just wonder… what’s the point of using M26 now, when every other American 6.7 is just better anyway? One of M26’s selling points was being on a lower BR with a nice 6.3 lineup, but now, it seems kinda pointless to me when you have both uparmored T26s and T34 on the same BR.
Cheaper, slightly faster.
I’d run it on large maps instead of T26E5 due to the slightly improved speed.
75 mm jumbos going 5.7? Are you mad?
Have you played them? The Pvkv III is a MUCH better tank than Pvkv IV. The gun handling on the Pvkv IV, is just horrible. I wouldn’t be suprised if the Pvkv IV ends up even lower.
So the 279 I grinded for, is now facing tanks that nearly all only have APFSDS
While it only had conventional armor
The reason the 279 was doing well at 8.7 was because leopards have no armor, and other tanks dont reliably look around. I still need to apply a deal of skill to kill the Swedish wedge and some other super heavies though.
Now at 9.0, I’ll be facing 10.0 tanks that have era blocks that eat my round. And will be blasted by even better helicopters.
seems that the changes are not really welcome, why didnt you ask before hand ? people getting aware again ,please watchout what you are doing ´´ guys ´´
Centurion Mk2 should be downtiered not uptiered. The same gun with same pen on a faster hull is 5.0 on Italy, but you artificially are making it 6.7 on Britain and it barely copes as-is.
Ah, I see that Operation: Destroy German Lineups continues full speed. Who cried louder this time? American or Russian mains?
Could you give me refund for the lekpz M41 talisman by the way? I have no intent on playing this tank at 6.7 since you broke its mobility 3 updates ago.
What about BMP2M. When is this cancermachine going up in BR? What about Su-11? What about all the Yak3? They could be put at 6.3 and still dominate. What about BTRZD and especially M53/59? Why is only Russia allowed to have all its SPAA so undertiered? The M53 can even wipe out a whole squad of heavy tanks from the front. Is that ok in your book Gaijin? I sure love to get my WW2 planes swatted out of the sky by cold war era brrrrt laser SPAAs while my nation’s SPAAs fire rate is at best 3 times slower. I am pretty sick of this game at this point and the blatant favoritism of Russian vehicles. How long are you gonna let the Su-25 ruin early cold war jets without flares? You’d know all this if you played your own goddamn game outside of internal test servers.
2000+ vehicles, but only a handful of playable ones due to the severe imbalance. Yeah, keep making it worse, that will help.
PS: You really pissed me off with the rise of Panther II and Tiger 105 to 7.0. These two tanks have no business being above 6.7.
6.7 will be next, seems so
The fact that they are moving up some tanks, e.g 279, and not others like the TURM III, is complete BS. The fact the Vidar is only 8.0 is a big joke. That thing could be 8.7 MINIMUM and still be great. And why the hell is the type 89 moving up. With the ATGM/missile guidance nerf it cant use its missiles for anything other than to scare the enemy. If the type 89 is going up why not the M3 Bradly or Marder 1A3? And why the hell is the type 87 RCV at the same BR as the VBC (PT2)? They have the same gun, the VBC is longer but said extra space is all empty, faster, has thermal, AND is Two-plane stabilized!?
Who cried for M26 on 6.7 and Jumbo on 5.7?
As a USA player, these tanks going to 5.7 and 6.7 doesn’t matter. All games at 5.7 and 6.7 as USA are partial downtiers anyway and USA has one of the strongest lineups there.
Now try to make a lineup at German once most fun BR’s - 4.7 and 7.3. Impossible now.
the 6.7 and 7.3 French is not to be envied either…
Seems lile mostly reasonable changes.
I was looking forward to the Lvrbv 701 going to 9.3, but 9.7 it is.
A bit of a shame as it doesn’t change much unless you bring the 9040B as the sole pairing with that spaa. Which not exactly a enticing lineup
It would be great if you would present your next round of BR changes (so the feedback collection part and presenting the final adjustments) in 3 different posts:
A. Ground
B. Air
C. Naval
It makes giving the required feedback much easier for players - and for you to analyse. In the current form as “global” post pure Naval or Air players gets lost in highly interesting exchanges about tanks; reading them creates unfortunately no real added value for their game play…
Think about it, thx in advance!
M24 is the most agile and universal menace
Just like light tank should be
Cope well, my fellow balance abuser
