The M4A1 FL 10, A French Tier VI Premium Medium Tank

Greetings Tankers!

Today a new Tier VI French rolls out onto the Supertest: the M4A1 FL 10. It melds together American and French engineering concepts, being a classic Sherman but with an oscillating turret and an autoloader.

The M4A1 FL 10 has good mobility, and though its gun can’t boast high alpha it has a four-shell clip. The autoloader allows for a very comfortable playstyle, emptying and reloading promptly, gauging up the damage-per-minute parameter. The crew consists of four people.

Though French, it’s a Sherman still—so please play it cautiously: the large size and the average protection are still factors you should consider. Yet, the gun of the M4A1 FL 10 lets you dispatch a single enemy within seconds.

Please remember that the stats are subject to change depending on test results. Follow the news and have luck in every battle!

ST, test ships changes.

Soviet destroyer Neustrashimy, tier IX.

Changed the parameters of the “Repair party” consumable: 
— Healing is reduced from 2% to 1.5% of maximum hit points per second.

The concept of a destroyer with an improved “Repair party”, which can restore a large number of hit points, has proven itself well and has allowed Neustrashimy to survive clashes with the enemy and have the ability to return to active combat later in the battle. However, to balance Neustrashimy with other destroyers, we needed to reduce the efficiency of this consumable.

Italian destroyer Leone, tier VI.

Changed the parameters of the “Smoke Generator” consumable:
— The number of charges is reduced from 2 (3) to 1 (2);

A large number of Smoke Generator charges make a destroyer very forgiving of mistakes. Given her long emission and duration time, Leone was very effective at her tier. Now, with the wrong positioning and inappropriate activation of the consumable, the destroyer can more easily end up without charges at the end of the battle and, as a result, will be less effective.

Not exactly needed, but whatever… I wonder what happened to historical camouflages, they would have been better than this.
