From reliable sources comes the information that the release of the patch 0.9.17.1 is not imminent yet. (it will come probably in March). There will be 2 or 3 iterations of the common test. Stock up on patience.
PS: Have time to play the T110E5 and Grille before the nerf.
Now, the Sandbox patchnotes:
Added the ability to reuse equipments (first aid kits, repair kits, etc.) during the battle. This change will make fighting at the same level possible after the introduction of the stun mechanic. The use of the kit removes the stun from the tank.
Balance Changes
Multi-use consumables (repair kit, first aid kit, etc.) – 90 seconds recharge time for standard, 60 seconds for premium consumables.
Damage dealt at the splash radius perimeter: 30% of total damage value
Guaranteed stun duration: 30% of the maximum stun time
Stun duration dependent on the damage received: 70% of the maximum stun time
Consumables
First Aid Kit: reduces the stun effect by 20% by default and lifts it completely after you use it, even if Crew weren’t hurt (and you can use it multiple times).
Heavy Spall Liners: reduce the stun effect by 10%.
Superheavy Spall Liners: reduce the stun effect by 30%.
