T69 slides into further powercreep. I sure hope WG plans to buff it.
the T69 is no longer valid at Tier 8, it would be much easier to balance it to Tier 7 and get something else at Tier 8, like the H.L.Yoh concepts with osciallating turret (M-IV/V/VI-Y)
That is their likely plan to downtier the T69 to tier 7 where 90mm guns are more common.
I mean tier wise the average tiered guns are T6=75/76mm, T7=90mm, T8=100mm, T9=105mm, T10=120+mm. So it would make sense to put the T69 at tier 7 where its in its element. Only downside is that it further creeps autoloaders into tier 5 which is a tier that has largely been unaffected by autoloaders(I don’t consider autocannons as autoloaders btw)
@ 0gungrave0 I think you are forgeting that the T77 will be a Tier 8 premium, simply put WG has no will to ever again work on the US TT
I’ve seen WG NA staff say all kinds of things from «we have no candidates» to « we can’t find detailed info to model the concepts» to «we have added pretty much everything we wanted» (for researcheable lines) so no, I have no hope watsoever they will ever fix the most outdated TT in the game
they have talked about a US TT rework since at least 2015 but nothing has been changed, at least not anything done specifically to improve it because they did the recent simplyfication that removed a couple of tanks, the extension of the LT line up to Tier 10 (that all TTs with LT lines also received) and changing the classification of the T54E1 from its historical MT classification to HT
with that being said it will take them a few years until they run out of premiums, just T95 variants alone are 10 or more left
just by looking at basic characteristics of the many tanks left, I believe I could easily organize 8 or 9 new lines and line-splits (including reworking lines to make gameplay more consistent from tier-to-tier) where every single line starts at least at Tier 8, 1 or 2 even capable of starting from Tier 6, and yet they would still be left with 30 or more potential premiums, and haven’t even counted wheeled vehicles or amphibious tanks
Penetration on standard rounds look wrong.
Penetration: 125/270/60 mm
Yeah, it should be 215
So this gets to be a medium while the T54E1 gets butchered into a heavy when this T77 is more a heavy since the turret is the same from the T57 Heavy?
Fucking make up your mind, WG.
both the T77 and T54E1 were medium tanks, both tanks used the hull from the T48/M48
the turrets look similar (between T77 and T57) because they were designed by the same company
So many autoloaders will damage the gameplay even further into it’s dark chasm
