Supertest: 4 Premium Medium Tanks Rebalanced

Along with adding new vehicles like the Italian Heavies to the game, we are also working on rebalancing the existing vehicles. You might have noticed changes to the E 50 Ausf. M branch, as well as too the E 100/IS-4/T110E5 branches of the tech tree so far. Up next are some Tier VIII Premium vehicles.

Today, the first part of the planned changes are rolling out to the Supertest. There are four vehicles that will receive a substantial update to a number of characteristics. And we want to reiterate that we don’t plan on decreasing any characteristics. Below you can see the list of the vehicles and their changes.

WoWS ST 0.9.12, balance changes and changes to test ships, removal of Somers.

Balance changes of ships and removal of X Somers in update 0.10.2

Starting from 0.10.2 X Somers will become unavailable to obtain from the Armory for an undefined period of time. She will be replaced with another American ship – Tier X cruiser Austin.

We understand that accumulating resources for ships is a long process, which is why we wanted to warn you in advance, so that those interested can steer X Somers into their Ports before Update 0.10.2 goes live in approximately three months.

We’ve changed the characteristics of several ships, having analyzed their combat performance and taken player feedback into account. Such changes were required to carefully adjust the balance of selected warships. We’ll continue to introduce changes in the updates that follow, if deemed necessary.

VIII Kansas:

  • Sigma parameter was increased from 1.6 to 1.7;
  • Armor penetration of AP shells increased by roughly 3.5%.
