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.
Liking this, now you can notice a difference between other fully aimed heavies versus this one when the gun is cooled and ready. About time.
Love the changes, wish they would make the gun cooling be a flat delay after reloading. Right now GR doesn’t effect it, so the faster your reload, the longer you have to wait for the better accuracy. Would be nice to see it as 3.25 sec, 3 sec and 2.75 sec respectively for the tier 8, 9 and 10
Yup, yup, this idea is very nice – to feel that you have a progression in the mechanic moving up the tiers. Same as Strv 103B line – the time to exit the siege mode is 2.0 -> 1.3 -> 1.2 s for tier 8, 9 and 10 respectively.
Tyoe 57 new and better drfender🤔
Like how the accuracy is going better. Type 57 is quite good. Think the Type 57 need some love too.
Completely missing the point on why the Type 71 is so bad…. having literally no frontal hull armor at T10
There is a typo in the article – the HULL (not the turret) is buffed from 120 to 165 mm. The turret as it is now is 300 mm baseline. So they are addressing the issue with the hull armour.
would also like to see it get better side armor
