A preliminary review of the changes in the performance characteristics of the techtree vehicles, which was sent to EU bloggers, from the upcoming update, has leaked onto the Internet.

❗️ IMPORTANT: these are preliminary changes and the performance characteristics may still be changed before the 1.27.1 Common Test! Keep this in mind.

  1. I fought a M V Y otday in my hulldown felice, he fired at least 25 gold shells at me, coulsnt pen me at all or touch my cupola, and i was hardly moving, that tank needs some help

  2. All of these are nice, but I don’t think they’re going to suddenly make the tanks much better, especially if the M-VI-Y stays the same

  3. M V Y was already quite fun tank. It has agility, both guns are relatively fun and it has troll armor, especially in hull down. Its worse e5 okay, but still fun and decent performer. When it gets these buffs it will be absolute beast, especially with -12 gun depression.

  4. I sure hope they’re not skipping the M6Y being the WORST T9 heavy in the game currently in the bottom 3

  5. So shortly put, WG are buffing the bigger guns of the Yoh tanks, since as of now they are useless, compared to the small guns. And -12 deg of depression… I hope they will make this change for M-VI-Y and M-III-Y as well.
