A few brief points before the new Tier X British TD hits the tech tree and replaces the FV215b 183:
- As usual by now, those who own the FV before the trade in will keep it as a special Tier X vehicle.
- The FV215b 183 crew will be retrained for the Badger. As the Badger has one more crew member than the FV, the new crew will come with a 100% trained radio operator.
- Going off vehicle changes in testing, the FV215b 183 will also receive an ammunition capacity buff. Going from 12 to 20 shells. Obviously subject to change.
Wish they’d buff the god awful gun handling or overall accuracy
i wish they would buff the gun depression to the front like -8 and -10 to the sides
-50, and give it an autoloader. Jesus, people, this shit can oneshot like most of mediums of its tier.
@DickherMax no, just -8 to the front and -10 to the sides and i don’t want autoloader because i don’t want to wait like 3 dark ages to reload :p how often do you see oneshoted meds?
The Leopard has -9, 0 armor and no gun handling at all, if anything its the tanks that needs buffing since its a “Leopard”, not a naval gun on wheels.
Ammo buff is useless, like you can use the 12 pff.. with that crazy reloead time 🙂
I’ve actually ran out of ammo a few times on that thing.
Do not underestimate the power of the darkside..
Thanks WG realy a 100% basic crew realy help my 4 skill guys!
Could just give us a free female crewmember.
That’s worthless unless the rest of ur crew is female. Need that BIA
Good luck with that, they do not adjust crew since like T-50-2 —> MT-25
Why do you need one ?
Does not the At-line uptil the FV have a radio operator?
The 183’s been in the game for awhile so if u had an additional crew memeber in the tortoise, chances r it’s either been reassigned to a new vehicle or it’s lacking all the training the 183 crew would’ve gotten.
Sounds very dope.
FV215b 183 also gets 8 more Death lasers
lasers? Blunderbuss/ punt gun charges. would be closer
I was at on the test server and yes all the FV215 183 crew gets retrained to Badger and the skills get reseted, so you can choose the skills newly.
BUT the additional radio is “only” a 100% crew member.
That means that the crew loses BIA perk, as the new radio operator does not have BIA at 100%.
I was lucky and had a British radio operator in barracks with 3 perks left.
But if you do not have any free crew member left in barracks to retrain to Badger, you lose the BIA skill that you had on the FV215 183.
Other topic: the Badger is too much over-.powered!!!
With improved equipment you get a DPM of about 4650!!!
– DPM that is far the best available
– impenetrable from front if LFP coverd
– Lazer precise gun accuracy
– The Badger is not that slow, like Tortoise was before 9.19 patch
In a platoon, where you have your flanks secured, this thing is unbeatable.
Ikr? “Strv 103 had to be nerfed as the dpm was just too much. Oh and here you go, have a badger.”
Wg in recent months
impenetrable by regular ammo…….but the magic “2” key beats it like it beats all other heavily armored tanks
Not garenteed lol
Badger is amazing. Cant wait for it
That crew addition is a joke. Why they cannot keep same crew, now trying to play historical accuracy card? Anating 😡
Why do people always have to complain. Use the recently free recieved female crew member as your radio operator en problem solved.
Crew skill reset is nice indeed. 100% Radioman is … better than nothing I s´pose – yet I think that most of ppl just have the guy from Tortoise (or as it is in my case – already temporally used and retrained to Achilles) slacking somewhere. And UK has plenty of radiomen once you progress to high-tiers anyway.
Anybody knows if its low enough for Type 5 to shot over it? It would better to team up with IS 4 or 7 to keep your flanks but … thats not epic, is it?
Wow yet another tier X that is OP, well that never happens. Nop WG never realeses on purpose OP Tier X tanks so that the user base will spend money on Free XP to get them nope, this never happends.
GLASS CANNON
Do u no what a glass cannon is?
what irony is – sorry for all the people that need a kappa to hammer it in their heads
Actually, the Radio Operator should be the one in the Tortoise. I think most of the ppl will retrain the dude in the barracks from Tort to Badger.
they can change any tank they want, i got em all except for the skymonkeys 🙂
dammit i’m not even close…still on alecto…
All replaced Tier X tanks cannbe kept – WT E-100 taken out of the game – wonderful politics
