WoT – VK 72.01 (K) Rebalance

UPDATE: it seems like tanks.gg has the model wrong. The supposed new weakspots and modified side armor could not be found with testing in random battles.

Wargaming seems to have found another victim to rebalance, this time the VK 72.01 (K).

Comparing the armor values from the current client and the 1.0.1 test, one might see some drastic changes. The lower front plate got reduced from 240mm to 180mm, and the strip on the weld is now only 170mm, compared to the previous 300mm. The small “neck” before the turret also got redone, and the mantlet has fewer and weaker armor zones.

The sides also changed a bit, but this one is a mixed bag. One one hand the side armor looks squishier, but now the turret base has a whopping 300mm armor, plus that weird spaced armor triangle.
