Wait what, I just got linked an image of it back down saying they changed it as it was calculated wrongly. idklol
it originally got put to 260~ because gaijin is incompetent as all hell and there was an update yesterday to fix it to its "correct" value

oh good, going even more modern so they can fuck even more shit up
We have enough damn vehicles, just fix and balance the fucking game.
I have never been so ultimately unexcited for devblog in my life.
Even though I don't play planes, Era VI jets was interesting and made a little sense. But hey, let's keep that powercreep, cashcow of tanks going with a whole new rank despite the fact that Era VI already was poorly fleshed out, multiple nations missing helicopters/Era VI Jets/Navies, fucky balance rolling over patch to patch, and a total stagnation of all gamemodes.
But nah, Challenger VII. More dart-flingers that play the exact fucking same "don't shoot the turret, but near the mantlet/ring/LFP works!!" with interesting HEAT armor that is fucking irrelevant since everyone uses APDSFS when capable.
I think its based off of this prototype:

Classic Gaijin, just add more shit rather than trying to fix the countless flaws that the community has been asking for years.
I like the modern stuff, but it saddens me since the grind to them is absolutely ridiculous without shelling out on premium, a talisman or premium vehicle.
I wish they would stop focusing so hard on tanks and flesh out naval battles or air rb a bit more.
Planes were added to tanks years ago and sadly tank rb is the best air game play you can experience...

Ain't nobody taking this update kindly so far.
The APHEBC shell stat cards for the soviets are even more inaccurate than they were before now. According to the stat cards, at least for the 85mm APHE/APHEBC shells in the t34-85, the APHE should be in basically all ways vastly superior. Before they claimed you lost a tiny bit of pen for better angle performance (which the values themselves weren't accurate, but gave you a ballpark figure) but now even on angles they claim you get far superior penetration with the stock shells.
gaijin are driven by sheer greed alone, and if even a remotely competent competitor came out, they would be dropped in a heartbeat
the game is a shitheap in so many different ways, but as long as there's no alternative, and hundreds of morons screaming "gAijIn plEASE AdD tHe 1973 rEliAnt RoBiN aS PreMiUm ToNk", they'll be just fine
Gosh, I'm having WoT flashbacks.
Shame AW shit the bed. My only alternative at this point is to make my own tank game and I know damn well I'm too lazy to do that.
isn't the IL2 franchise branching out into tank shit? that could be an alternative
It's a glorified tech demo so far as I've heard. It in it's own sim niche. I have nothing against it but if I have to play one more fuckin' tank game with the big-name tanks I'm gonna barf.
I was recently playing Blops 3 cooperative and I got incoherently angry when they randomly asset-flipped a Tiger II into that catastrophe of a main campaign.

It currently has 2 fully done tanks (sans crew animations and crew models, though those are done and incoming at some point), Tiger 1, and KV-1S. It'll also be getting M4A2 lend lease and Pz III M. sometime within a month or two. They're already starting to pass the most glaring issues in it, and the tanks already feel pretty good.
It also does have upside of since the tanks are using the same skin system as planes, which is that if someone has the same skin library as you do, they'll be able to see the custom skin on your tank, even if they themselves aren't using it.
Oh also, multicrew tanks, seen in the vid, with me as commander/driver and @Dubeard as gunner.

"We have actual documentation on ballistics, but we're gonna ignore them and use our own."
Any idea on hoe good the Leningrad will be?
I finally have acces to the market so I might get the coupon from there once it goes for sale
The lemongrab looks like it'll be just about as good as other destroyers. It'll be premium so there's that too.
Now with no AP rounds at all.
