My favorite tank in the game finally receives some attention. Good!
That -5 gun depression was always a problem. Traverse speed and horse power will make it even more enjoyable for me.
Good to see some older ones get some love.
Yo this tank is gonna be giga goated with these changes
With this HUGE buff, this tank goes from 5/10 to 7/10.
It looks kinda good on paper, but in reality, this thing doesn’t really have a place in this meta.
The reason is so obvious. It was not a good sniper due to the gun handing issue.
Now with the buff, its gun handling is partially fixed but still bad shell velocity.
It goes from a bad sniper to a decent sniper.
It was not a good brawler either because it’s a glass cannon with bad flexibility.
Now it’s faster but still far from a flexible tank.
For a non-turreted tank, -5 gun depression is horrible. -6 is still bad.
Its brawling capability goes from bad to okay.
From a tank that is bad at everything to a tank that is okay at brawling and decent at sniping is already a big step.
But, for its difficulty, even that big of a buff is not enough.
It’s still a not flexible glass cannon that can’t snipe really well.
Either they buff its aim speed or turn speed even more, or you’ll still rarely see it on the field.
