so they tell us they will buff the tanks, and they release only nerf, like… what ?
No no, not all nerfs. They gave the Kv-4 two additional degrees of depression…See, WG is generous.
A”nerf” of a buff is like slightly reducing a proposed increase. It isn’t a “cut,” just less of an increase.
Their nerfing it! why is WG nerfing the IS-4 when it’s under powered and slow. What the actual fuck. Whatever happened to buffs?????
Cause 430U is better heavy 🙂 No reason to play IS-4
No one asked for your no life opinion
Vodka went up to their heads. In all honesty, all nerfs need to be applied across the board or not at all. I agree with the decrease in gun handling, but armor values must also go down and weakspots need to bounce 2/10 times, instead of the 8/10 as they do now.
They’re nerfing its firepower slightly to offset its increased armor buffs that are coming later this year. IS4 was originally intended to be a fairly beefy heavy but power creep has rendered it obsolete when it comes to armor protection.
@Anonymous, What part of “Part III” Dont you understand? Try going back to Part 1 of the Heavy balancing before throwing a tantrum on the internet where everyone can see how much of a moron you are. Also… *They’re
these nerfs are base on the previous buffs,it’s not like they are actually nerfing those vehicles
T110E5
Stat Now Latest “Buff”
DPM 2,503 2,503
Dispersion…
Moving 0.18 0.18
Tank Traverse 0.18 0.18
Turret Traverse 0.08 0.08
Yes it’s not actually nerfing those vehicles but its not a buff either. It’s nothing.
Actually, the moving and tank traverse dispersions are a nerf. Currently the E5 has 0.17 on move and tank traverse. Turret traverse is the same. Some how DPM went up by 1 yet the reload time/rate of fire is the same currently. WG still hasn’t really done anything to the E5 to help it in the current meta, “Improved the side armor in the area of front rollers.” (from the initial round of re-balance changes) is not enough. So if they implement the changes to the E5 as they have them in test, it is a nerf.
It’s not like that these vehicles were not over performing to begin with. The IS-4 is shit since forever.
Is4 and sti needs way more armour, less damage per shot but better penetration.
So the M103 has now the same DPM as the E5.
E5 only got some improved armor on the front rollers left as buff?
Cool story
At least the roof isnt as awful on the E5 as the M103, that’s pretty much it though
Fuck WG at it again. Why oh why can’t they just nerf premium ammo and all this crap balancing act would be easier to solve.
Also some great stupidity here. The KV-4 gets 2 more degrees of gun depression. If there is one other tank that needs -2 more gun depression is the T110E5. If the Conquerors can get fake -10 gun depression from their -7, then the T110E5 can get -10 plus it is historical because it is a specified requirement in the T110 project.
comrade t32 us tank must be even more shart stain in game lower dpm and increase reload da!
Calm your tits everyone!
Every vehicle in this list is still getting a buff, just a little bit less of a buff then initially proposed.
Going from 10 to 8 and then to 9 is still a buff.
Love your stats… 10 to a 9? BTW: they can double buff the FV4202, but cannot really help the IS4? WTF?
The E5 is actually getting nerfed
the dispersion values when traversing and moving actually go from 0.17 to 0.18
so the E5 will just go from buffed plans to outright nerfed in the end
dispersion values are currently
dispersion values(current values/1st proposed buffs/new “buffs”)
0.16 /0.14 /0.18
0.16 /0.14 /0.18
0.08 /0.06 /0.08
DPM remains the same the only buff is the front rollers which is very minor
