IS-5 is an absolute dog to play with the combination of trash gun handling, aim time and accuracy, looks like Udarniy will be more of the same. At least Udarniy’s armor is much better IIRC.
Another Russian premium heavy tank?
i met this tank in battle once, its armor put defender in shame, the roof of the turret is an easy pen but for someone who knows how to use it it would be insane if you can take the horrible gun handling, anyway the nerf was needed, it made some very bs snapshots in that battle
That applies to all tanks if RNG is helping, but yes it’s really noticeable when it comes from tanks with very bad accuracy and gun handling, like the ruski ones.
And it has exactly two small weakspots from the front – cupola and a small patch of armor right below the frontal pike. It’s otherwise immune to its own gold ammo (285 pen HEAT) from the front.
Everytime, wargaming creates a new tank. they get super OP stats; goes to supertest; then they tweak it a bit here and there… and then before release; without testing, it gets nerfed to shit. And an interesting tank, is then, not so interesting anymore.
They made a couple of mistakes with some OP tanks. But this nerf here seems really harsh.
I just want a decently balanced Chieftain Prototype to show up as a marathon vehicle sometime soon. Other 2 tier 9 premiums are pretty bad, especially the WZ 114’s gun handling and reload.
So they nerfed the gun a bit, but totally ignored the fact, that it has a Tier 10 heavy tank levels of armor? And in this state it will go in the game? Jesus Christ, randoms will be so much “fun” to play after that, especailly for Tier 6-7’s..
