Lol. No it really wouldn't. 

 

 

Why shouldn't either get a nerf? We never needed a prem SU (Or KV-2) in the 1st place.

 

The M41 90 only has too advantages over the Brazil, the AP round and about 150 hitpoints. That's it.

 

Give the Brazil a cheap HEAT round instead. Around 200 pen.

Well, I don't really believe in the phenomenon of "seal-clubbing." I think it's more of a myth than an actual threat to the community. But even if that was the concern, even the worst experience at Tier II won't last long. Players earn enough XP to graduate to the next tier very quickly.

 

Meanwhile, there are tanks that are a menace -- such as Sexton (USA), Pz V/IV, Absolution -- for many more game hours, because it takes that much longer to move past the brackets in which they appear. Those broken tanks aren't touched.

 

Comparing those 2 low tier french tanks to the Pz.V/IV and or Absolution is kinda false imo

1st those are BROKEN tech tree tanks and those should be taken care of first.

2nd they do harm the lower player base a LOT turning potential new players away from the game

It really would. As Fox said, the M41 90 literally only has two advantages compared to the BB, and giving the BB an AP round would get rid of the M41 90's biggest advantage.

 

As for the SU-152 and Slayer, both are fine where they are. They get very good guns and solid speed, but are also limited by their awful mobility, poor armor, bad gun handling, fairly narrow gun arc, and a few other disadvantages. Also, the reason I say the Slayer wouldn't need a nerf unless the tech tree SU-152 got one as well is because the tech tree SU-152 is better in almost every way except for its worse AP shells.

Are these the final changes then? Are we sure that +1/-1 is NOT in this balance patch?

[happydundee]

So underwhelming. You are not really trying, are you WG....

That is correct.  The camo was never meant to be available via vouchers.

 

If we had put that camo on multiple tanks will it remove them?  

 

Thanks,

Why? Most spam HEAT in both of them anyway.

Shouldn't be a reason for either of them to get the same AP round. The Slayer should get a nerf but knowing all of the REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE people who bought the damn thing will whine and cry about their prem being nerfed when it was needed.

I certainly hope not! It would create a rather big problem for them with all the untold thousands of vouchers players have cashed in for that Elite Amethyst

Cruise Control thing is a mystery to me. But you can now combine XP, Crew XP, and Silver Boost Ops! (That was my suggestion from the Battle Heroes Q&A by the way!!!)

The cruise control means that if you flip your tank and you have the cc on it will automatically shut off and you can not activate it while you are flipped over.

You misunderstood the context.  I thoroughly understand exactly what the change to the feature does(I’d be a crap Supertester if I didn’t).  But as to why they felt the need to make the change is a mystery to me...... I don’t exactly see the forums flooded with complaints about cruise control causing a problem when they flipped over.  Usually complaints about Cruise Control relate to accidentally activating it.  Could be that somehow the Cruise effects the flip timers, but that’s not been made clear, again as to why they made the change.

Cruise does reset the flip timers. Especially when stuck on the side.  Every time the moving tread touches dirt, reset.

The only issue with it right now is the necessity to spam prammo. Giving it a cheap HEAT maintains the uniqueness (keeps it different to the M41 90) and alleviates the need to spam prammo.

Multi-Base Assault Mode?!?

Could we just accept the game as definitive win for the attacking team (if it's enough to capture only one base) or a win for the defending team (if the attackers have to capture both bases to win)... and move to the next battle?

 

WG - when we'll receive preferences to opt out the unwanted game modes (Assault and Encounter)?

 

Multi base mode is only for tournaments isn't it?

OK, so I'd given my personal buff list, now here's my list of tanks most in need of nerfs...
Tier 1 - None.  The top dogs are all pretty competitive.
Tier 2 - T1E6 variants.  Just cut 50 health and call it good already.
Tier 3 - US Sexton 1.  Nerf the accuracy by .15 and it would be a lot less OP.
Tier 4 - You just nerfed the worst offender, so I think we're good here.
Tier 5 - Pz. V/IV - Just cut 200 health and call it good already.
Tier 6 - I find the top dogs to be pretty competitive here too.  Maybe a slight nerf to the Absolution's gun to balance the armor.
Tier 7 - Dreadnought.  It's the amazing mobility that makes it OP.  Cut the engine power a bit and we'd be fine.

Tier 8 - Iron Rain.  3 shots of 490 alpha at tier 8 is massive.  Slow down the inter-clip reload or make it a 2 shot instead of 3 shot clip with adjusted reload to compensate.
Tier 9 - Top dogs at tier 9 seem pretty competitive to me.
Tier 10 - Top dogs here are pretty balanced too, imo.

 

That's 6 nerfs that would go a long way to maintaining a healthy balance.

[Kaboost]

So the 113 is still gonna aim slower than the 111 5A even though it has a smaller gun? At least their reloads are little different now.

KV2 and Dread are already slow, it maneuver like a boat.

That is the case, with CC on, if you tipped on your side the motion of your tracks could cause you to rock, with each rocking causing a timer reset
