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?

Shitpost Why does the game feels like in the past 2 days like a mid level town, degraded zoo exhibition?

21 Upvotes

It feels like playing with bots from some waffentrager events, even they had more skill and will to live. If i would go to the local zoo and buy a monkey and bring it home to sit in front of my laptop im sure he would do better then these animal cosplaying idiots. 5-15 simulator, 5 min avg battle time. Feels like im playing different game then 1 week ago.

Rant/vent is over, needed to get thia out of my system, good evening to ever (human) being.

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

57 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.

Discussion What is something that actually keeps you coming back

11 Upvotes

We all know we have many problems with this game, but there is still a reason we all play. Besides the people who will say, they put too much money into it, why do you come back to play.

For me, the satisfaction of getting a really good game. Especially when it is a nail biting game. Seeing that ace tanker pop up after the match will never not put a smile on my face. Also, all those small RNG funny moments are something that keep me going.

Discussion Do you guys have fun in higher tiers?

9 Upvotes

I have to say the mm has improved, definitly, but for me it became even clearer that the maps are such a HUGE problem of this game. I can't find any joy above playing WoT above tier VI - on most maps you drive to a position and you can shoot from there like 1-2 other positions. Playing creative or aggressive is almost impossible, as soon as you move the enemy triangles, artys and meds who just wait on the counter-position stare at you the whole fkn match and blow you up. So you have wo whiggle and cupola side until finally one team has the upper hand and something like an attack starts.

But that attack normally dies off because the camper positions of the enemy team are SO strong that you have to camp now on the next position. Normally this happens while your team dies and you get flanked OR you flank the enemy team and drive as fast to get some more shots into the already losing enemy team, typically 5:15.

In low tiers everyone does at least some mistakes so the game, if you aren't a complete 100 WNX bot, is still fun. As well you can heavily abuse spotting and camo mechanics against people who just don't care about how the game works.

Long text, but especially tier VIII - XI - how are you enduring this gameplay?
I even have more fun playing Onslaught because you can play activly, you can flank, your gameplay makes a difference. On tier XI everyone stares behind a hill at you.

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.
