  1. Just more better looking Russian 3d models. And the British tanks still look like they came from PS1...

    3. It's called bias anon. The Russians are getting better treatment, whilst the British tanks have been screwed over multiple times by WG already. With copy-paste tanks, overpriced ammo, weak modules, bland models and useless tier 10 tanks, its obvious that WG don't care for the British as much as the other nations. Where's the Firefly, the most lethal and iconic British tank of the war? And what about the Churchills legendary torque enabling it to climb 40 degree hills?

    4. Russians != Soviets.

    5. And Paul, the British tanks are not historically accurate and they are no-where near ugly. You want ugly, look at the American heavy tanks and TD's. Whilst the British AT-2,8 and 7 series are ugly, the rest are great with some exceptions.

      Like the Conqueror, a beauty of a tank. Historically it had 180mm of front hull armour, yet its missing 50mm ingame. Nice work WG!

    6. Anon 7:30 PM complaining about copy-paste tanks, then demanding a Firefly, which is a copy-paste Sherman M4A4 variant - good job on logic! Oh, the iconic "British" tank is an American tank with a different gun and some plates welded in random spots, WG Y U NO IMPLEMENT!!!1 BTW Y U NO delete Chinese tanks, they are all copy-pastes?

    7. The British tanks don't need visual updates.
      What they need are hitbox updates.

    8. Wow, people are seriously using this to claim Russian bias?
      Good god you people are pathetic.

    9. I agree that Conqueror could have been the top tier for british. It is a good looking tank, I would have researched it then.

    10. Conq front armor in game is historical. There was not 180mm front hull Conqueror, like ever.

      Delete
    11. Churchill, for the record, was a major piece of shit. It would lose it's tracks on a 20 degree slope and had many other short comings. Some road wheels would come off during road testing. Read their evaluations.

  4. Lets see...added more tracks to the front ( Read Spaced armour )
    added a deflector on the front ( read more spaced armour ) wider mantlet, moved the commanders hatch...buffs all round ?

    1. That IS so called deflector on the front looks more like wooden blank, which protects nothing beside mud spatters. And so far tracks on tank hull havent given any armor on any tank.

      Delete
    2. how is moving a commanders hatch to the center a buff? It's more like a nerf, because you can't hide it that well when exposing your gun.

      Delete
    3. Nope! Those don't count as spaced armor! And wider mantlet won't make any difference! But if it helps u think that rusky tanks are OP u can say that a mud guard made of wood is armor.

  5. Why do so many soviet tanks have these useless bars on their frontal plate? Ruins the entire look.

    1. Its called mud guard.

      Delete
    2. They were so low slung that without the splash guard the drivers hatch (if opened) would flood with water/mud or the viewports would get fouled.

      Delete
  6. lol, who cares about the look?
    seriously, I bet if there was an OP tank in form of dildo everyone would level it up just to be able to kill everyone :)

  7. The main Soviet line was one of the first implemented into the game. It's good to see them being visually updated to match the higher quality models introduced recently.

  8. Do the old skins (i mean those you can download at , for example , drongo-lab , still fit ? I mean will they automatically adjust ?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Oh no, they changed the headlight! My life will never be the same! NOOOOOOOO!
