Good day everyone,
So another <sigh> Soviet premium is in testing now, this time a new iteration of the T-44 LT. The name is pretty self explanatory, so let’s look at the current stats (*Updated with more detailed stats/screenshots):
- Tier 8
- HP: 1,100
- Engine Power: 850hp
- Power to Weight: 27.1 hp/t
- Hull Armor: 90/75/44mm
- Turret Armor: 120/90/70mm
- Speed: +68/-24 kph
- Turret Traverse: 46.9 deg/sec.
- Hull Traverse: 50 deg/sec.
- Terrain Resistances: 0.863/0.959/1.918
- View Range: 390 m
- Signal Range: 700
- Gun: 85mm ЗИС–С–С53СМ
- Damage: 180/180/300
- Penetration: 182/210/44
- DPM: 2346.4
- Reload: 4.8 sec.
- Accuracy: 0.4
- Aim Time: 1.9 sec.
- Depression/Elevation: -5/+20 deg.
Could be worse. Could be armed with one of the seemingly countless variations of the D-10 100mm
How about make a seperate game just for soviet tanks, they seems to have enough of them lying around.
Or the Russians could make a separate game with everything else considering it’s a Russian game after all…
how many soviet premium light tanks above low tiers? People like you are just stupid all the nations with high tier lights are getting a tier 8 premium.
Some just love to moan!
They act like it’s easy to waltz into a foreign nation’s research archives and pull up the data. It’s almost like WG needs a disclaimer explaining that before they do every new release or Q&A
how many soviet premium heavy tanks are sitting at tier 8? don’t you see what’s wrong or are you just blinded by the fact there is a light tank being added?
There isn’t any tier 8 LT prem so that makes sense. Something to go against the T92 LT, Black Dog, etc. Looks exciting tbh. Also, it’s a Russian game, what do people expect exactly?
Well we never had a tier 8 premium light for the Russians yet. Can use this to train your crew for t100
It only has 3 crew members in the t100
POSITIVE:
AP pen +12
horsepower +100
hp/t: was 23.9 now 27.1 so +3.2
reload: 4.8 from 5.8 so -1sec
DPM: from 1877.1 to 2346.4 so +469.3
NEGATIVE:
Accuracy: 0.4 from 0.316 so +0.084
Health: from 1200 to 1100 so -100
DPM could have stayed anemic imho.
who cares what nation a tank is, they are pixel tanks ffs
And the time you spend playing it is pixel too?
wtf. This is better than the t92 in almost every way apart from slightly worse aimtime and accuracy
Depression/Elevation: -5/+20 deg.
this is why all the urss tanks are useless in my hands, I need a tank that have a depression as big as mine
A tank with as much depression as I do 🤔🤔. It’d be able to shoot the driver
It’ll also have worse camo values and a taller profile.
They’re quite different kinds of lights…
A tier 8 light tank that doesn’t have completely terrible DPM? Wut?
M 41 90 has quite decent DPM as well.
But that doesn’t have the armor or acceleration of this one.
Better view range, accuracy, gun depression and alpha, though.
But that light came before light rework its op
The 41-90 is perhaps the one exception, but its level of performance should be what we consider ordinary for a tier 8 light tank. The re-balance severely over-nerfed its tech tree counterparts.
FFS WG are there any other tank lines aside from Soviet and German? It sure as hell does not seem so.
It’s the first tier 8 soviet light tank and you just fucking got an american.
You are completely right, but I sort of can see their points.
There is lots of nations and classes missing a tier 8 premium vehicles – especially ones that you can purchase from tech tree for gold.
Yet there are Soviet tier 8 premium vehicles released in masses.
Kind of sucks, if you need a crew trainer for a particular class and nation.
So cutting off 3 tons from T-44 is now a light tank ? For your Information T-44 ltw. is worse in very aspect to LTTB except in 12mm+ Armorpen & in Turret armor it has more riccoshit area.
This is not the light Tank you’re looking for (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
Meh. Brawling LT, I guess the soviets are allowed to have this with the exception of the LTG. More variety in my gunsight.
ppl always need a fuckin “crew trainer”… srsly just play your favorite tanks simply much more times and you will get your crew to high level…
as if 50%+ is so much more… especially nowadays you get thousands of boosts
Im guessing this or the elc even will be in the advent calender
depends on the crew id want a 3 person crew if not its not worth buying for me
Seems that WG is intent on giving every line with high tier LTs a tier 8 premium
ELVEN 90(I forgot what name it was) from France
T92 of ‘Murica
The return of the AwfulPanther of Germany
And a scaled down T44 from Soviet
Any idea for the Chinese tier 8 prem? A scaled down Type 59 perhaps?
The WZ-131/132/59-16/Type 62 are all already “scaled down Type 59s”. There are variants of the Type 62 that would fit, like the Type 62G, which is a very modern (2000’s) modernization to include the Type 59-II’s gun and a new turret which may have advanced armor. Another option is the Type 62-I, or WZ-131A, which has certain improvements over the regular Type 62 with regards to protection and gun reliability, but would have the stock WZ-131 gun.
But the Type 62 is already a scaled down Type 59. But that’s a tier 7. I dunno how they’ll make another WZ-132 out for this.
My LTTB is still better. Not a premium but better. That’s how premiums were supposed to be.
*checks viewrange* *sees that the T100 LT has as much viewrange than a T8 premium LT* … really WG, really…
