    2. That was never meant for 1.8, it was on the sandbox, meaning it is months away. How do people not get this?

      1. Because they are either stupid or illiterate…probably a combination of both.

    I am talking about this one for years!
    such a pain in the ass for new players which didn’t understand the cryptic error message about being in a unit or something

  5. Wow, what a weak patch. So much for all the “New Balance(tm)” changes, did WG give in to the whiny minority again?

    Also, big nerf to random loot, the Daily Mission system will be crap (already tested in AW and it sucks). Expect blueprint stacks to be only available from Tank Rewards and other special events from now on (e.g. Christmas). 🙁

    1. Don’t be a moron, please. The “New Balance” changes were never part of 1.8, they were on the sandbox. Any “New Balance” changes are months away at minimum, always were.

      1. I was aware some changes (e.g. HE ammo nerf) were in for further testing, but things like the techtree rework were more or less done. Guess I was wrong.

  6. Not sure what some here are talking about, the “new balance” changes and tech tree changes were never meant for this patch – they were just on the SANDBOX that is usually a few patches away… those will most likely come with a bigger “2.0” update and who knows how long that is delayed now that some things will be overhauled after the not exactly successful sandbox testing…

    But yeah, not exactly a huge patch besides that but the daily missions seem ok to me…

  7. That ammo rack flying bug was good to watch on trolll youtube channels. But i don’t want to experience it too.. So its got it got fixed.

  8. “Known Issues: There is no protection from spam-clicking on the minimap.”

    Wow, it only took them 10 years to realize it.

    1. not exactly, it was in the last couple patch notes as well.. they didn’t found a fix for it (don’t think they are spending resources on it)
