It has great hull armour and mediocre turret armour. It’s also the best armoured SPAA in the whole game.
Which will happen because it’s more stable, while also having a high turret traverse rate.
I also can’t help but notice that every single person I have seen defending this change owns the Coelian which makes you think. I’d also be more fine with this change if it wasn’t gatekept to veteran players, but oh well.
i have it and play against it aswell due to playing more nations
the coelian is a one shot kill for most tanks if you hit the turret, its dangerous when youre close yes but when you play smart itll die 9/10 times before it can even damage you
if you disable its turret itll blow up or is just an easy target due to its bad reverse speed
most people are just mad a vehicle that has been removed got a buff and want it “unbuffed” or go up in br
most people ive faced so far in the coelian
ALWAYS shot at the hull and not at the turret for some reason
i dont know why but if they would just shoot at the damn turret that has no armor at all against main cannons they would one shot kill you instead of dying
I just think it’s an issue when I’ve seen numerous videos of people doing incredibly good, and the tank doing stuff it wouldn’t do IRL. You know it’s bad when everyone (even those who own it) are saying it’s now broken.
Is 87mm pen, high damage APHE, coupled to dual autocannons, on a stable and decently armoured platform (way more armoured than a Sherman, or T-34) balanced at 6.3? I fail to see any world where that is not an OP tank, and I hope Gaijin nerfs it or makes it available to every single player.
yes people make videos about it and say its OP
they make people jealous who dont have it
they need likes for their videos
and again you have ears and eyes, if you cant hear or see it coming your way its your fault for not being able to counter it and as i mentioned before…it takes 1 shot to end it
people who have it defend it yes since we play it and know its strengths and weakness
but if you people fail to oneshot it at the turret its a skill issue and not a reason to call it op because you cant kill it by shooting the hull or getting killed by it if you get to close
so idk either a skill issue or people over hyping it and making others jealous leading wanting it to be unbuffed
maps where there are cities etc are the best for it since you can just lurk around and catch them offguard since people dont like to have their sound on while playing
played it myself earlier and got 5 kills because people kept shooting the hull and drove right past me
all it took was a T44 to shoot my turret and oneshot me, so hard to kill it right?
And now you’re blaming the player that is dying to an undertiered vehicle. Should I start blaming players who die to the J-7D, He-100 or Ka-Chi because they all have exploitable weaknesses?
The game is so iffy with audio, that it isn’t the players fault for not hearing something. Not seeing something is also not the players fault 100% of the time because no one can see everywhere, and not everyone has a good enough monitor to do so.
It was recently buffed, and I’ve seen many players (both owners and non owners) calling it OP and undertiered, yet almost no one who doesn’t have it is saying it’s balanced.
I highly doubt it’s overhyped. 87mm of pen is a decent amount, and it’s insane for an autocannon with more post pen damage than many medium tanks in it’s BR range. Even if it had no armour it would still be very very good because of it’s gun handling and other characteristics.
I’d be in favour of moving it up in BR, making it available to everyone, or nerfing it in another way (such as traverse rates). However it should not remain in it’s current state.

Thats why you look into the vehicle and find out its weaknesses and find a way to counter it

from what ive heard about the sound, it depends on the visibility count that vehicle has the higher the % the higher the range of its engine sound is (idk if its true or not but i heard it) and i think most if not all should be able to hear its engine idling or revving when its close to you
about the seeing aspect it depends how good your awareness is, if you tunnel vision or play in binos/gunsight or even commander sight all the time ofc youre not going to see everything

now it has received a buff it could go to 7.0 or 7.3
I highly doubt it’s overhyped.
It is currently VERY overhyped
youtubers making a video about it, friends showing clips and screenshots about it how good its new round is
yes its a good round, good velocity and good fillar not going to deny that
but you cant hide the fact its literally one shot with a high profile, people keep shooting the hull and complain why they cant kill it and get killed in return, ive fought with it and against it
