Just read about the nerfs to the Defender. It's great to see you guys learn from some of PCs mistakes. That tank would have been far too powerful and although some will be annoyed, it is a great decision for the game. Most tier 6s and 7s wouldn't have stood a chance against it and at least now they can flank or just stay at range, and tanks should now be able to pen the lower plate without needing stupid amounts of pen. 

 

I'm hoping you guys also adjust the Chrysler K when it is added, i'm now confident that you will

Disclaimer: I will be buying both the Patriot and Defender. If you buy both in the combo pack at least its a pretty good price!

After this change i would do too if i had the money. The tank will now play like the pre-buff IS-7 did, a tank that needs to get into close combat to do exceptionally well otherwise it will easily miss the target and not do much. If anything it should be less boring to play as it will require a few extra braincells to play. It will still be very powerful however.

This. All who wanted to get one, expected it to be the same as it is on pc.

Which is very good.

Which is both good and bad.

It didn't deserve such a price hike, but it does go some way to even further reduce the numbers of what is still a very capable machine.

 

Overall, good job WG.

Oh, I'm hoping so as well.

I'm still bitter over things like the T23E3, Tiger 131 and STA-2, so them doing some good changes is refreshing.

It needed a nerf, but I do think the price shouldn't be so high.

nope,  nerf'd it before releasing yet another broken monstrosity into mm. This was the right choice,  as for the pricing well that's been ridiculous for a while now. 

[Sgt Becket FEAR]

Seriously, the OP premiums like Tiger 131 should have never happened.

 

I am happy to see a premium that does not have a ridiculous advantage over tanks it faces.

 

Don't mind me though...not like I know what I am talking about.

They wanted a crutch. It will still be powerful, just not quite as much.

This coming from a huge Tiger fan...

Nerfing it good.

 

Increasing the price bad.

[USSWISCONSIN94]

Still going to be very strong tenk. Those buffs won't be that big of a deal.

That ship (price hike) sailed long ago. The console players are to blame for that. WG is just another co angling for their top lines and bottom lines. If people buy it, I see no reason why they would not sell it at that price.

 

As for the capable, I agree it is, on paper, still capable - but so is the Tiger 131 and I still see enough of them yolo and get busted up.
