Changes to Premium tanks and French heavies

~ Sebastianul

The Löwe gained another boost: a more powerful engine and thicker armor. In addition to that, acting on your feedback, we improved the combat parameters for 4 more Premium vehicles: the American T34 and T26E4 Super Pershing, the M46 Patton KR, and the Chinese 112, as well as for two French heavy tanks: the АМХ 50В and АМХ 50 120.

        1. But-but-but they are OP… and biased… nuuuu, I can\’t whine anymore!… :\'(

          *cries in Hungarian*

      2. kv-5 has
        mobility
        alpha
        dpm
        hp
        GUN HANDLING MODIFIERS
        side armor
        turret armor
        and its weakspot is quite armored (compare to Super P\’s 50mm of side armor, 76mm hull weakspot, or 102mm turret weakspots)

        what does super p have over kv-5?
        pen, aim time, accuracy(only when fully aimed), mantlet, and the spaced front hull.(and even then kv-5\’s front hull, minus the r2d2, is as strong to stronger)

        honestly kv-5 has plenty of advantages as is.
        if u want increased pen, will you accept nerfing your r2d2 to 100mm or 76mm?
        nerfing your dpm to super p dpm?
        nerfing your mobility?
        nerfing your side armor to 50mm?
        and your gun handling

        all that for pen?

          1. sure….except most of kv-5\’s armor is still so strong that it bounces gold like mad, long as you angle. if you go flat on you\’ll be penned.

            compare to super p who…what u see is what u get. it can\’t angle at all due to 50mm side armor

  3. wait…wait….wait! am i dreaming!? a pen buff on the Super pershing!? am i having a heart attack?

  5. YES FUCKING YES so hyped 😀

    the main disadvantage of the patton kr removed the lowe may actually be able to move now the super pershings getting more competitive pen and the t34 is getting more gun handling? oh my god this just made my day 🙂

    ALSO the amx 50 120 can elevate its gun now oh the joy i feel right now i cant put in to words…

    1. are these changes in 9.17? because if they are then thats the cherry on top of this awesome news 😀

    1. I think the cleaning lady secretly does this stuff after office hours, since her grandson likes the game, y\’know…
      XD

  8. Own but rarely use all of the premiums except the KR, which I don\’t have. And I have the 50 120 ready for buying. Guess I\’ll use some free xp for the last gun.

    This is by far the best Xmas gift WG could provide me. Yay!

  9. and after this FV4202 and T 34 3 will become the new worst premium tank of tier 8 lolol

    1. Oooh, smart question!
      Really now, what is??

      *assumes the pose of The Thinker*

    3. Going by what WG pulled out of their asses over the years? The catch is SP will lose it\’s pref MM.

  11. Good to read, all logical decisions! This is a start.

    Now please do not start to slack again WG.
    Take this \’new trend of balancing\’ to all those tier 7 and 8 medium tanks which need it due to having been powercreeped. Address premium ammo, like it has been suggested (2 solutions) for god know how many years already.

    Then you will have a true start to buildup credibility.

    1. Ok, for Premium ammo get rid of normalization and add in the real life sliding that rounds go through. It would make the t-54 have something around 300mm effective front armor. Then you would need premium ammo. And everyone would be happy!

  12. Well thank god the T34 is getting a buff wish it had some reload buff too, but all these gun buffs mean I won\’t get fucked by missing half the time and finally getting a 3rd mark, just wish they made it a TD so it would be a good crew trainer for the TDs since we got the T26E5. I would have a reason to snipe for once.

  13. Now the T95E2 needs a serious buff. That tank is pure garbage now, don\’t earn extra credits and sees tier 10 battles. What a useless \”reward\” tank.

    Shame!
