Hey, at least it’s faster now, right?
With the speed buff i really cant even be angry honestly. They had me annoyed in the first half.
now it’s worse than the DZT 159 in my opinion, the DZT has -7 gun depression all around the tank while this tank has only -5 at the sides, the armor of the DZT is also more reliable
Very fair, probably correct opinion.
Just make it a fucking heavy tank the original speed.
Tf I am supposed to do with thing? You can’t brawl with the heavies because the entirety of turret front is penned by t9 gold rounds unless its using the whole 8 degrees of gun depression, you can’t snipe with it because it has terrible af accuracy and shell velocity now, you can get clutch shots because the gun handling is Bisonte like but without the autoreloader. Well at least it got a speed buff so I am not that mad, though I’d say whoever came up with this tank and thought it’d work great as medium is an absolute moron.
It’s got the frontal turret armour of the tier 9 TD… That most certainly doesn’t get penned by every tier 9 gold round…
Felice has the stock turret of CC Mk2, even 330 pen HEAT will struggle to go through. There’s a cupola weakspot though, which is unique to Felice.
These nerfs make sense if the goal is to create a Tier 9, Italian, 122TM.
Make it a HT and most of the complains will be gone.
But the game hasn’t been fcked up enough so they gotta make it worse.
MM compromising is infinitely worse than bad balancing.
Among all the current issues of the game, I hate this kind of abominations the most.
Seriously fcking disgusting.
Nice changes. Now I don’t have to worry about speed at all anymore. Perfect tank for a Fake GOD such as myself.
