Can you post a link where SerB comments on this?
DeleteNevermind, found it.
Deleteyou forgot one TD: the Universal Carrier QF 2 pounder
ReplyDeleteThanks, fixed
DeleteIt is a pity that there will be no Archer destroyer.
ReplyDeleteValentine TD IS the Archer
DeleteCorrection, it is NOT ;)
Deletemh, we'll see if this info is the real stuff or just a hoax.
ReplyDeleteseems real now :D
DeleteLittle pony of doom (Luchs) goes to t4, LOL.
ReplyDeleteWith some buff it will be better T4 scout than the lame Leo now.
DeleteBut the Leo in T5... hm... what gun? I'm sure it won't get the 10,5 derp. Then? 75 L/48? weeeell....
(will they change the scouts MM then? VK will be T6, the new end of the line scout, so the T5 Leo became something like the ELC?)

DeleteSure ass hell hope.... Would hate to see Leos with my VK's MM... Horribad combo, and useless slots. I hope my Cougar gets a better rld. to the 105L28 :) :)
Frank upload some picture of this above listed tank picture
ReplyDeleteMate, I am at work. A bit of research takes time... :) Maybe in the evening.
DeleteI'll give it a go :)

Lights:
PzI - dunno what version, the first had only twin 7.92 mg AFAIK
PzI Ausf. C: http://img1.afv-news.com/2011/09/products_PE35433_PE35433_021.jpg
Pz.II Ausf.G: http://www.wehrmacht-history.com/images/heer/panzer-ii/panzer-ii-g-1.jpg
According to the Wiki Pz II Ausf. G was armed only with "7.92x94 mm MG141 automatic rifle". That doesn't look too dangerous :)
ReplyDeleteSo where the Pz I's but load em with gold ammo, and go scout.
DeleteBut I bet WG will give them a 2cm guns.
This is a variant of the AT rifle, regular PzI had only these:
Deletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG-13
My point still stands.
DeleteThere was a Panzer I conversion with a 20mm Breda done by Spanish. Maybe they'll include that.
DeleteDo you know the Tiers of the TDs? With the Uni Carrier, we now have 10 steelwheelchairs. So either one is premium or we have a double in one Tier.
ReplyDeleteOr am I completely wrong?
I´ve got a question regarding the А39 Tortoise:
ReplyDeletewhat is the biggest/most powerfull gun it could mount?
Because everytime i only find the 94mm Ordnance QF 32 pounder and this one seems a litte to small for tier9.
Does it? Well, they can modify its rate of fire and accuracy, I think it'll do fine.
Deletelets hope, that they balance it well and a really high rof paired with a good accuracy and high pen could make it unique.
DeleteVK1602 Leopard at tier 5 would be a disaster. Looks like I'll also be selling my Luchs, as I do not want to be thrown in tier 8 matches 24/7.
ReplyDeleteWhy not? If the scout is balanced for the tier range it operates in, it will work just fine. As always, you're intended to be killed in 1-2 shots, doesn't matter if you're playing with (against) tiers 6, 7 or 8. Leopard would definitely need some traverse speed or terrain resistance buff, as with it's inferior maneuverability it wouldn't be neither fun nor balanced on higher tiers where most MTs would outrun it. And some DPM buff, which will probably come with a new gun, to be able to pose any threat to the SPGs at all.
Deletehey, its officaly confirmed:
