- apparently there are not enough British turretted tank destroyers for a whole branch (Q: "Are the rumors that there aren't enough British turretted TDs unfounded?" A: "They aren't unfounded")
- SerB states that apart from the Luchs, the other vehicles being lifted up one tier didn't really have to be rebalanced, as they were balanced around tier 5 and 6 previously already (they were balanced one tier higher)
- the reason the Panzer II and Panzer III/IV arty tree links were removed is that the devs don't like them, they consider them ugly, confusing and unnecessery
- German Leopard MT branch, French HT and MT alternative branches weren't scrapped, even though they were removed from the new tree, developers will simply add them in future patches
- FV215b TD doesn't have a fully treaverseable turret, it moves only to 45 degrees to each side, it has worse armor than FV215b HT and the gun has 1150 alpha, it's compensated by other characteristics (might not be final, tests will show)
- the reason the British TD branch wasn't published in advance was that it changed a lot in the process, the developers will continue in this trend
- E100 armor is bugged, it'll be fixed (example 1, example 2) (SS: if I understand correctly, it's something about the welds and the spaced armor, which does work however)
- tier 7 and 9 companies are not planned
- the changes in the German lower tiers are partially tied to the new German medium branch introduction, which will start from the VK2001DB (SS: don't worry, VK3002DB will be a part of it)
- the British will have more researchable TDs (SS: turreted branch meant)
Edit: fixed the E100 answer (I mistook it for Jpz E100)

Weaker armor than HT + 45 degrees gun arc on each side = XP Pinata
ReplyDeletePiñatas don't strike back. The 183mm sure will.
Delete-Platypusbill
It sure does once, while reloading its easy kill for meds
Deleteand it will be 0 pen fest like the JGPZ E100 -.-'
DeleteLeo with 50mm L/60 tier3 gun 67 pen balanced for tier5. Suuuuuuuuuuure. And I'll be the next pope of the Holy See -.-
ReplyDeleteWell the Leo is nowhere near to T50... let alone the T5 T50-2 or chaffee...
Delete(by the way, if current T5 scouts are balanced for T6, then they need to do the same with the new T5 Leo)
no they dont, the ELC is not balanced like the chaffee
DeleteYep, but has lighter MM than the current 3 top scouts. And its gun...
DeleteT5 Leo needs atleast a 75 L/43 gun.
Leo is crap even on IV tier ...
DeleteLeo is absolute rubbish already in tier IV battles. Balanced for tier 5 just means it'll be even more useless and rofl-stomped by Russian lights than it already is.
DeleteLeo is good if played properly. You can't apply Chaffee or T-50(-2), or even Luchs-like game style to it and expect wonders. Same goes for ELC AMX, it's not a scout and was never intended to be (hint - radio range), it's an agile but paper TD, and it's very potent in able hands. I've seen a number of times when a player who knows how to play ELC socres 5-6 kills in a round, in contrary to kamikaze scouts who think it's meant for that and contribute nothing to the team. "ELC is not balanced like the chaffee" - derp.
DeleteWait...so what are we saying about the T10 brit TD? It's going to have worse armour that the HT equivilent? why? surely it should have atleast 228 at the front, i really do no understand why it's going to have LESS than 152mm frontal armour? or...is the armour going to count as a single SUPER STRUCTURE? there fore surely it will even out around the 190-230mm mark. From the looks of it...the 215B doesnt look like its got any mega angles going on apart from the very frontal part of the turret...guess we'll have to see in test...by which i mean, a private match without gold ammo in teh scenario lol.
ReplyDeleteBalance. I think it'll be terrific in hulldown, but the hull will be.... squishy.
Deletesuppose we'll have to see
