E50, E50M depression nerf intentional

Update: SerB answers the question about this by... well, trolling.
Q: It's no secret that in the test 0.8.4, E50 depression was nerfed. Why was that?
A: Everytime I read the words "it's no secret", they are followed by total bullshit.

SS: Well, this trolling is actually a good thing. Maybe the thing is just too overblown?

Ectar (EU forum coordinator) confirmed the E50/E50M 0 depression is not a bug, it's intentional. Here's his original post:

  

And here a picture he posted of how the gun is clipping the frontal parts of the vehicle:


I guess there is very little players can do with that now, although personally, I find the irony of the fact Wargaming not only makes up a tank but it does so badly the vehicle would have 0 gun depression staggering.

  1. GJ WG keep nerfing good german tanks and ignoring the OP russian tanks.It's all working as intended

  2. I wouldnt say russian tanks are OP. Many of them are outclassed by others such as americans. End tier IS series never see clanwars in favor of the T110E5 and T57. Their medium T-62A is good, but it's not OP.

    I do get the feeling of an anti-german bias though. Penetration values of their guns well below what they actually produced, no viable end tier tanks save for the occasional E-100 slinging only Gold ammo. Mind you, slinging gold ammo is not a solution.

  3. Ectar says it's only a graphical fix, which suggests that the gun will keep its current depression, but the model won't reflect it.

  4. What are they going to do about it? It would be impossible to play with 0 depression?

    ReplyDelete
  5. Meanwhile, the Su-76 has had clipping issues since beta and hasn't been "fixed" like this. I've also seen screenshots of the 263 having a similar issue today.

  7. Don't blame Ectar, he probably has to spin things for WG to feed his family. Serb, on the other hand....

    1. ectar could've keep his mouth shut and posted only about him forwarding the issue to devs
      it isn't even a community issue, it's a test problem

      Delete
    2. So ectar was wrong to give the community an answer? The guy clearly knew the forums would give him shit and he still gave you the info.

    3. no, he was wrong in "explaining" why it was done so
      not his job, this is a job for supercharge and who ever else governing that public test section

  8. Only Germans get nerfs, all others stay intact. Also interesting how they didn't touch VK2801 until now, and is now NERFHAMMERED even though it's tier 6.

    ReplyDelete
  9. They can't be FREAKING serious
    How should you play this tank with 0 gun depression, seriously HOW?
    the -3 of the chinese is nearly unplayable, BUT ZERO because THEY SCREWED UP THE MODEL?
    Holy F , sorry for the capslock but this is a new level of incompetence...

    ReplyDelete
  10. The strange thing is that the Object 263 also has clipping issues with the gun (the gun is also clipping the frontal part of the vehicle), but SerB and Storm said that some time ago that "this is no problem".

    Once again WG has serious credibility problems.

    There's a reason I use this avatar... ;)

  12. Well, looks like after the E-100, Maus and Jpz E-100 were made totally unusable on most occasions against the other ier tens, WG decided they have to nerf the remaining two somewhat usable top tier Germans (VK2801 and E-50M). The 2801 nerf is reasonable at least, since high tier LTs will be introduced later on, but why not nerf it when they're introduced? And seriously, first WG creates their own, fake tank, then they fail at it, and now they nerf it because they failed. Seriously, just make another imaginary turret or move the current one a little more to the front, don't destroy the last playable German Tier 10. And then they claim there's no thing such as German bias....

    1. Yes nerf of VK2801 is now resonable but they have plans to neft 10,5cm premium ammo, so in future it will be nerfed once more.

      Delete
  13. Silentstalker there are some info about the nerf is only graphycal or the 0depression is a nerf of the gameplay?

    1. In 2 hours the ban I got for teamkilling foul-mouthed Russians wears off and I'll have a look myself.

    2. So in the meantime, though way off topic, how badly is VK2801 screwed in 0.8.4? And are there any news how many iterations of test there will be?

      Delete
    3. At least one more I'd say. As for how much it is screwed - noone can tell, the reason for it is that in the test, the VK2801 actually doesnt have the better MM it's supposed to have on live server.

    4. I'm afraid it's not just "graphical fix" as our dear Ectar stated... http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/211141-e-50m-gun-depression-nerf/page__st__220__pid__4032220#entry4032220

    5. Just thought I'd pop in and reply to say that the fix is most certainly not just a graphical fix. Only tested the E-50M, but the lack of gun depression made fighting at ranges less than 200m on flat ground a ridiculous spazfest of desperately trying to aim at rapidly moving commanders cupolas.

    6. I thought that I'm just going to drop that in here:

      If that's not some kind of elaborate trolling, I think I have enough of being treated like an idiot. I'm still grinding E-75 and Panther II is my most played tank. I was grinding crew to third skill on Leopard to transfer it to VK2801. So I think that's farewell from me.

      Delete
    7. It is a pure nerf on the gameplay. Especially the E-50. The 0 degree depression makes normal playing completely impossible, as the gun will not go down from horizontal level.

      For example, I was just in Ensk. I went to the railway and on the other end there was enemy Centurion 7. My tank was completely level and I was only able to shoot at his upper turret. Even aiming at center turret was impossible. If this goes live, E-50 will be the worst tank in the game.

      Here is how it goes on E-50 with example of gameplay on Murovanka. Ausf. M is the same.

    1. Don't even say that! I'm just about to get the Panther 2 on my way to getting the E50-M which was the only current tier 10 German tank that looked like it was worthwhile getting...not sure I'll be doing that now :(

      Delete
    2. You can still go for it. Believe me when I say you can adjust yourself to the tank. Panther2 is a nice and solid tank. The Gun is just great. Play him like a Sniper and when you see a gap in the enemy lines then just go for it.
      He is not a damage dealer but a great supporter and flanker.

      Delete
    3. Yeah, I'm still planning to go for the Panther 2 (though it seems to have had it's gun depression nerfed as well). I've enjoyed playing the Panther, but I'm looking forward to having a gun on the Panther 2 that can actually do a decent amount of damage.

      The idea of having 0 gun depression on the E50-M just puts me off the idea of going after that. Not like German tanks have good gun depression to start with in general.

      Panther II will have back declination nerfed and E-75 loses frontal one.

  18. It seems like the "gearbox move" many raged around in the forums and now they are used to it.
    But this "Schlägt dem Fass den Boden aus!"- to use a little german idiomatic expression.
    I do have even now problems with aiming down at enemys with my E50. I even had problems with aiming down at T44's in my Panther 2, if they rammed me frontal. :/
    Mh, just let's see what the test says and please don't rage around WG is a company so you are the costomer and give them money. They know if they drive away the "germanlovers" ,like me :D, they'll lose many of their costumers. So they can't realy do what they want. ( just my opinion)

  19. Its fucking joke, even bigger than FV215b... rly E50M became the shittiest med now. In most cases you cant even aim your enemy properly.
    SerB is good representative of the whole WG company - one big fuckin troll. I will not be suprised when it collapses soon with such clowns. Time to find another MMO game.

  21. "I guess there is very little players can do with that now, although personally, I find the irony of the fact Wargaming not only makes up a tank but it does so badly the vehicle would have 0 gun depression staggering."

    I seriously have problems to understand this sentence. English is not my native language, and there's absolutely no commas or other "whatevers" there to make that sentence clear. Should there be some punctuation mark before "staggering"?

    I'm really sorry that I'm nitpicking about this, but I just can't understand that sentence. Truly.

    1. He finds the irony of X to be staggering.

      X is the fact that WG not only made up that tank (it's not historical), but they did it so badly, that it's basically non-functional in real-world terms.

      There you have it.

  22. WG patch checklist:

    Stealth nerf? check
    Idiotic reason? check
    German bias? check
    Ignore community feedback? check

  23. After Löwe, VK3601H, PzKpfW. IV and E-75 now the 2801 and the E-50???

    Thank you Wargaming, time to stop the monthly payment for premium Account and buying Premium Tanks.

    You made this decission realy verry easy for me now!

  24. What about "The change is a graphical fix" is hard to understand for you retards?

    Go to the testserver and try the tank. Nothing has changed gameplaywise. Hope you feel really stupid now.

    My god, this community is unbelievably stupid some times.

    1. I do believe with "graphical fix" Ectar only meant that it fixed a graphical problem. The forums have dozens of posts by people that have tried the tanks on test and found them unplayable.

    2. Yeah, not beeing able to aim down the slightest doesn't change the gameplay the slightest, right?

      Nice try SerB

    3. First and foremost, the fact I don't censor comments doesn't mean you have to start insulting the hell out of everyone. Second, it's a real issue, 0 depression. I tested it myself.

  25. I find it funny that WG.net creates a tank that, as far as the only actual design drawings show, were to have rear transmission. But they switch the transmission to the front because they claim that's how it would have ended up once completed due to engineering limitations and further development. I could accept that reasoning.
    But now they go and change the tank specs to something that wouldn't even have gone into prototype stages like that. Under the guise of accurately modelling the tank according to those early design specs.

    So what's it going to be?
    Do you want a realistic interpretation of how the tank would have ended up when it eventually had been completed. Or do you want the tanks to be an exact copy of the only existing early design specifications of the tank?
    You can't just pick the worst from both options.

  26. tbh looking at these pis, and going to the 50m and trying this... im not shure if its even clipping anything

    ReplyDelete
  27. You realise Ectar is an avid medium driver, He loves his E-50 and this change would affect him as much as the rest of you guys, To insult him for reporting it to you is stupid and pathetic. Get your trage at the right people and stop beating on the messengers.
