the only good thing is the camo.. sad right?
Pretty much … it won’t even be as good at ramming anymore, now that they nerfed the mobility. The thing is – why of all stats did they buff camo, when this thing sits on a Panther chassis? It really does not make any sense at all … Honestly, I think Wargaming designers are just totally and utterly clueless.
That’s where you wrong dude. The intention behind this buff in camo is specifically to increase it’s ability to perform some rare stealth assault on low-hp targets in a kamikaze-style. Thus the increased camo actually makes sense with this role-philosophy in mind.
On the other hand I think the reduced speed will be the real problem.
I agree it is obvious that they are feel that ramming should be the niche of this tank, but I don’t think that will work too well with current mobility values. Sure, you’ll get the occasional nice ram kill in it, but that I don’t think that will make up for the poor DPM. Looks to me like a one-trick pony that doesn’t even excel at its one trick.
The nerf to its mobility basically destroyed any reasoning to buy it. Its ramming ability made it a great LT hunter and with its weight it could even ram kill mediums.
Its a fucking shame anytime there is a unique and balanced tank they have to ruin it.
They have to increase the DPM. It’s too bad with this long reload and the low alpha damage. Also it should get +5km/h. With those changes it could be somehow an interessting tank to play.
With rammer you can get Rhinoceronte DPM lol
WELL DESERVED REVARD? 🙂
So that means we deserve sh!t ?
We do in WG’s eyes
I really start to think that this will be the new reward for playing WOT long enough.
As this one is an old tank that got removed. Just like T-50-2 and Super Hellcat (in hellcat case, just not nerf in speed).
I do hope it’s not that lame SUPER Chaffe as reward. Stats might be more competitive but just lame…
I don’t want to be the party pooper but I suspect the “well-deserved reward” for 2020 will be the Super Chaffee… though I would be very happy if it turns out to be the AFK Panther instead.
That said, this tank’s DPM is pretty tragic. I saw old videos of it when it was a techtree Tier 7 and it had E 25 levels of RoF. 🙁
You’re not wrong. I played it in the good ol’ days, back when WZ-132 and AMX-13 90 where the only tier 8 LTs in the game. At first I sucked at it, but after I learned how to play LTs I found out it was an absolute beast. It was like a Tier 7 Chaffee with great mobility, godlike gun handling and crazy RoF (pretty much same as E25). Cammo was garbage, but it wasn’t meant to be played as a passive scout but a lightining fast striker, eating away enemy HP from places where they least expected then vanishing away. I loved it and was very sad when they changed it for that SP1C garbage, and now I’m even more sad when I see how they have massacred it…
Taking away it’s joy trick of crushing straight through sneakier enemy lights as they burst sucks too, especially as now wheeled buggers exist everyone would have been happy to see fatscout drive through them without even slowing as they popped…
Looks now like it a freebee “well deserved reward” tank for veteran players and the like ~ i had this Tank before they removed it (WG for reasons you understand?) and this not even the same Tank anymore – same only in its Name
What a shitty thing to do to a once popular German tech-tree LT
WG can be utter cock-heads (Vodka i blame the WG tea break free Vodka
I remember buying the PIV in beta original form (when it had mm with Maus..) as a premium and they had made the things that were good about it suck but milked you for gold to get that disappointment. Sod doing that again, shame, I liked the awfulpanther 😉
