World of Tanks – New Balance Review

~ Veroxx ~ 31 Comments

The new and possibly last iteration of Sandbox is here, and some of the most important questions regarding game balance will be addressed here. This new patch titled the “New Balance” is one of the most important things to happen to the game in its history and I will be breaking it down for you readers what you should expect from the patch.

I will be approaching each change individually and provide mine as well as RagingRaptor‘s experience with the new patch and give you our ideas on how Wargaming should improve upon it. Continue reading “World of Tanks – New Balance Review” →

WoWS Supertest – Soviet Cruisers

~ Veroxx ~ 1 Comment
We’ve already announced the new Soviet cruiser subbranch and its features, and today we would like to share the stats of the new ships.

Changes to researchable Soviet cruisers:

  • Updated stock hull geometry and visuals for the cruisers Budyonny, Shchors, and Dmitri Donskoi, as well as their AA and secondary guns composition;

  • Dmitri Donskoi’s researchable hull B will no longer be available.

Features of the Soviet heavy cruisers:

  • Effective armor piercing shells: They have high armor penetration for cruisers, good ballistics, and a short fuse arming time (0.022 seconds), which lowers the number of overpenetrations. These shells also have improved ricochet angles: it is possible starting from 55 degrees and guaranteed from 65 degrees;

  • These strengths are offset with an average reload time and special accuracy settings: at long ranges, the dispersion ellipse of the new sub-branch ships is bigger than that of other cruisers;

  • A combination of their accuracy settings and a Surveillance Radar consumable with a 12 km range makes the new cruisers most effective at medium ranges.

Greetings, Commanders!

Prior to New Balance, we had four iterations of Sandbox tests throughout 2019. We are grateful to all active players who supported us and took part in this large-scale test.

Now is the time to take the final step: the most extensive and comprehensive round of New Balance tests kicks off on February 10. It will involve numerous potential changes and reward active participants with days of WoT Premium Account. Everyone can take part in testing—you just need to download and install a special client. You will also have the opportunity to leave your feedback on the proposed changes in a special questionnaire.

So what awaits us on the New Balance test server? Let’s take a closer look.

World of Tanks Sandbox – The New Balance – Tech Tree Changes

Click on the screenshot to view it.

The New Balance patch brings many improvements to the game, one of these: Tech Tree rework. Many tanks (92) were removed to reduce clutter in tech trees, to simplify the grind. Many low tier and some top tier vehicles like AMX 30B & 30 Prototype, Jagdpanther 2 and T-62A were removed from tech trees. Don’t worry, most of the removed vehicles will become reward tanks and be available to those who own them and also be featured in the future as event rewards.
