that cupola better be armoured as hell because these are some rough nerfs to it
Considering how this thing is only 24 kph forward and 12 backward and it doesnt have the troll hexagon shape the t95 has, youd probably want like 279 armor there cause everyones gonna hit it flat. Its on a sliggish hull and there is no play like a turret cupola. Then the top part of the cupola where the shape changes make it 41 armor so some guns can overmatch it or pen it with 200 or something pen.
I can already imagine one of these firing once and during the reload in a hull down brawl four people naili it and it dies instantly. Either give it 1500~1600 health or give it the above cupola armor. Nothin that goes this painfully slow should waste peoples time.
I say all this but their totally gonna send it off with terrible cupola armor
well, either way, I think them releasing it slightly under performing and then slowly buffing it up is better then releasing another busted premium
