They are buffing the Lowe, can they give a buff to the med teir premy heavies like the t14 or excelsior?
do they really need it? They’re pretty mobile tanks with decent armor with their pref mm
why would you need to buff those? they perform excellently. the T14 especially has quite a troll armor, and is practically immune to t4 tanks
T14 or Excelsior have limited MM….thats buff enough for WG….Löwe is too weak to fight tier 10 which he meets often
Completely off-topic, but nobody has heard anything about the event supposedly starting tomorrow??
get 125,000 exp by monday to get a tier II Light MK VIC, I know right, it’s all the rage 😛
-10 depression in a Sherman tank with a 105mm gun, very historical eyeyeyyeyeyeyeyeyeyyeye
Historical depression = -3, WG gives it -10, EYEYEYYEYEYEYEYYEYE
EYEYYEYEYYEYEYEYYEYEYEYE
kys, fam
Well, I certainly like it 😛
Can’t wait to start the new tech tree, got my free xp saved up :3
11 new HD models is bad. Lorr may not be in 9.17. I hope they add more HD.
Well, we do get about 19 brand new tanks, so it technically totals to 30 HD vehicles.
that’s an excellent point, nice wheeledtank, didn’t think of that XD
4202 max speed changed to 45 km/h
Is it a typo or what ?thought it was just 40km/h
officially it is 40km/h but it is on the super test at the moment so who knows if they wanted to go a little crazy O. O
T26E4 SuperPershing buff? Maybe? One day? 170mm of pen, Carl
The Murazor…you know the new retard dude who is in charghe with balance department in wg said there are no super pershing buffs because it is a cheap premium tank and a cheap premium tank should not be as good as an expensive premium tank as lowe.
Löwe lacks on speed and dpm actually, now it gets armor and more gun depression. Is it supposed to be played like a stubborn emil next time or what? Oh man……
To be fair. I do like most of these changes…
Except this overmatch change. I reserve opinion until I see the full formula but why do I have the feeling that it’s going to be a buff for the angled soviet vehicles and tanks from Germany etc will lose out once again.
FV4202
-Max Speed buffed from 35kph to 45kph.
-Credit income increased by 10%.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Wonder what the “reinforced” hull on the Lowe will amount to. Not gonna complain at all, any buff to a vehicle I drive is a welcome addition. Espically that -10 depression. Look forward to that.
It will get very “historical”, I believe 🙁
That Panther 88 buff must be a joke.
They sold this tank as an sniper on an mediocre mobile platform. Now they buff the engine and hull traverse – but not the real drawback, the low top speed of 45 km/h.
They dont fix the horrible forward gundepression (hello @ Panther II) or buff some other stats, like the DPM. A DPM buff would bring some real flavour to that tank -> not the best tank overall but at least one stat where it can excel at.
But no, it has to be a stupid mobility buff that most of the time wont matter, because it had really low ground resistance in the beginning already, like in russian hover med low.
FYI, this is answer from Muzaror
“2. Panther 88 got its’ vertical gun angles buffed so it’s similar to the Panther II, the model wil also be corrected to accomodate this.”

I sense a little personal hate here 😛 oh well, supertest is subject to change, but being a lot more mobile in short distances is good enough for snipping, no need to be a hellcat. Plus, they’re going to nerf the Panther II’s mobility and probably gun depression as well when they give it the E50’s 88 gun.
Now for the hard facts:
I think the Panther 88 has second best dpm for a tier 8 mediums, best accuracy of the tier 8 mediums at .32 and second best view range at 390. It’s pretty much the epitemy of a support tank/sniper that can soak up quite a bit of damage with its best in class 1500 hit points without getting auto penned by artillery. Check out tanks.gg and read up on tanks before you say something silly like buff the dpm of one of the highest dpm tanks in its tier 🙂
I know and still its drawbacks are not by a bit touched by this buff (gundepression not confirmed yet).
So, it is argueably one of the worst T8 prems by now. The buffs didnt change a thing.
Conclusion? Buff something substantial or sth. else.

M4A1 Revalorisé
-Spread of 105mm D1504 L/51 reduced from .36 to .35m
don’t forget to add into that accuracy ‘buff’ the 25% RNG that makes a tiny 0.1 improvement just about meaningless
at 0.35 it will still at times (when you really don’t need it to) miss and not hit a barn door, or even close to target at medium to long range
But at brawling peek-a-boo under 100mtrs it will be fine and all working as intended
oops, its not a Heavy its a Medium with zero armour, oh well never mind.
Finally, the french version of the shermanator gets some love I’m so happy!!!!
