    It’s called freedom of speech. Moreover, in this case, it is well backed by fact based on real life. If you don’t like that, go back to your cave in North Korea. We’ll call you in case you’re needed, although I highly doubt it! 😀 =)))

  Yup, western WG is doing crap in development of game… they are only good in development how to introduce new premium crap… West WG is fueled by greed. On other hand WG East, AKA Lesta is doing some job…

  No, they won’t! In fact, these should be implemented in eu WoT as well!
  Tanks like IS-3, T-10, IS-M, Ferdinand, Indien Panzer, Tier VII AMX AC mle.46, Conway (big boy gun damage on premium HESH shell), Tier VIII TNH 105/1000, BZ-166 and Tier VII P.43 ter needed some love, a lot of love!! I am very surprised O-Ni wasn’t included…
  Some of those, like T-10, IS-M, Indien Panzer, TNH 105/1000, BZ-166 and P.43 ter are pretty horrible to be played by a majority of the playerbase. Except for IS-M and the extremely painful TNH 105/1000 that I three-marked (with a lot of premium shells and a huge hole in my credits), I sold the others after getting the second mark. When I recall some memories, I feel like I’m having PTSD… If you don’t believe me, try playing some of the tanks I wrote here and type in chat after that. 🙂

    P.43 ter is great tank way it is now. It is my top 5 tier 7 by dmg per game (1900), and I used to grind it from stock! T-10 is also great, One of rare tier 9 heavies that are more mediums than heavy, and people cant adjust playstyle for this kind of tanks so they cry and blame tanks and wg for their performance. IS-M also good tank, If u know anything about side scraping, and hull down, but most of you of course do not.
    However IS3 would need some gun depression and a bit more accurate gun, nothing more. Ferdi would need a tiny more armor not to be penetrated with AP in his upper part of tank by its tier (altho JgTiger 2 would be better tech tree nowadays), AMX 46 either give him incredible gun, or buff weakspot size or armor. I’ve just skipped him with blueprints but from playing against it never scared me lol. TNH just buff accuracy, make it accurate nothing more, make that be its selling point not everything needs to well armored, great hulldown, solid ammo, mid accuracy, and ok speed.
    BZ166 idk about this, did not play against it often and did not play with it, same as for Conway.
    indied needs mobility buff, and tiny accuracy buff. imo.

  Ferdi is trash beyond anything, like JP2. Like what the point of grinding Ferdi

  JT, Conway, both bottom. Where Tortoise is OP

This many tanks would take WG 8 years to address (not even commenting on the merits of changes – many are much needed, while some are questionable). WG’s inaction is way worse than LESTA’s fixing and re-fixing their changes. So many (literally hundreds) tanks need updating, that it’s not even funny, while WG wants to only touch 4 branches and maybe 8 tanks a year FFS.
