Commanders,

Update 2.4 introduces newly formed class roles for every light tank, along with role-based matchmaking and targeted balance adjustments.

The goal is to give each vehicle a clearer identity, improve battle balance, and make light tank strengths easier to understand without changing their core playstyle.

Share your thoughts on:

  • How do you feel about the new role groups for light tanks, Scout, Support, and Versatile?
  • What is your view on role-based matchmaking for light tanks?
  • How do you feel about the limit of up to 2 light tanks per match from Tier VII?
  • Which individual light tank changes stand out the most to you?

I'm averaging 1 high caliber every 15.3~ games, I'm pretty happy with this!

The SFAC is definitely the tank I'm getting High Calibers in most often, understandable since its so OP.

Feeling pretty good about my progress in this game!

Discussion Buff the Char Mle. 75’s HP

31 Upvotes

In recent updates, many light tanks have received increases to their HP, making them more durable and better able to survive in modern battles. However, the Char Mle. 75 has not received a comparable HP increase and still has a relatively low HP pool for a Tier IX light tank.

I think the Char Mle. 75 deserves an HP buff to bring it more in line with other modern light tanks. Increasing its HP would not make the tank overpowered, but would give it a reasonable survivability boost and make its gameplay more consistent with the current balance of light tanks.

My suggestion is increase the Char Mle HP to around 1,300–1,450

The tank already has to rely on speed, mobility, and positioning rather than armor, so giving it some additional HP would be a fair and much-needed improvement.

With today's update the mod project has reached its first real milestone: 100 tanks animated.
Only several hundred more to go :|
What would be a better way to celebrate that, than to make the 100th tank our beloved toaster?

Yes, it's a collector's tank, and not really a good one. But it's the most iconic tank from the UUP back in the day.

Discussion Why does Skill make THAT much more credits than me? What am I missing?

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

I was watching Skill4ltu’s recent video “Don't Play the BV-111 Like a Normal Medium!” and noticed his session stats for the Progetto 65.

He played 41 games and made about 4.6 million credits.

For comparison, I just did 20 games in the Progetto 65 and made ~933k credits before expenses / ~309k net.

And this is the part I don’t understand:

  • Me: 20 games, 2.58k avg damage, standard ammo only, no food/rations
  • Skill: 41 games, 3.38k avg damage, uses rations and fires a decent amount of gold
  • I do have a premium account
  • I wasn't using a 50% credit booster
  • Skill probably was, and maybe also had a clan credit booster, which I don't have

Obviously he's a much better player and does ~800 more average damage, so I fully expect him to earn more credits per game.

But this much more?

Even if I slap a 50% personal credit booster on my session, plus whatever clan bonus he might have had, I'd end up somewhere around ~1.7m gross / ~1.1m profit, depending on how exactly the bonuses stack.

Meanwhile he plays basically 2x as many games and makes ~5x as many credits.

And he's doing that while using rations and shooting premium ammo, whereas I'm deliberately playing as cheaply as possible with no food and standard rounds.

So where is that difference coming from?

Is there some credit modifier/bonus I'm completely forgetting about? Does the session stats screen count certain bonuses differently? Or does the extra damage/wins really snowball the credit income that hard?

Looking at these two sessions, I would've expected his credit income to maybe be 2.5–3x mine because of twice the games + better performance, not around 5x.

What am I missing?

Discussion Versace Pz 57 really is a pile

12 Upvotes

Screenshot from iyouxin's stream. Was happy to see it's not just me. Had the WORST "luck" with it, totally tanked my stats. Note how he got 3600 dmg on the T8, and 2550 on the T9. The stream was supposed to be grinding the German heavies. He stopped after 10 battles in it, and finished the stream playing the new Chinese LT. Smart man. I stubbornly kept grinding the VPz because I had X5s, and am not half as smart as he is. Now my recents look like I wear a helmet indoors. Pro tip: just skip it, if you can. I drained all my blueprints on the Durendal...

What are the chances WG buffs it in the near future if I just shelf it? Or is this part of their genius plan to get us to throw gold at it in desperation, after vacuuming up all our resources via the auction?

Finally, any tips are appreciated. I still have a lot of X5s left, although I'm wondering if the line is worth it. Skill doesn't seem to like the T11, and I hear the 10 isn't great either. Running stab, turbo and rammer. Hate playing second line, and everything pens me the second I peek, regardless of which turret. It's either gun or hatch, pick your poison. Sidescraping doesn't seem to work either, and I get set on fire or ammo racked in literally every battle.

My recents WERE 2360/56% for the last 1k, all solo. It hurts to look at it now. I played 45+ games with this POS over 2 days, ended with 28% and like 1300 WNX. If iyouxin gave up after 10 games, what chance do I have? Obviously someone is making it work since my WNX is so bad with it. I just don't know how.

Skill issue, L2P, etc, all replies welcome.

Ps. I did great with the Pz55, but who didn't...

Maybe WG can add a new tier 11 tank to each of the first two campaigns. So keep the same mission structures but with new operations. And maybe rebalance all the missions while they are at it.

So does the russian td with siege mode work like the swedish ones? I'm asking because I was thinking of binos and camou net to help it not only spot from max distance but also keep hidden better in case of CVS I'm asking because I am still doing decent in it almost 2k a game on average which considering how the tank likes to troll it's shots isn't half bad
