It looks like Tier 9 is more pleasant to drive compare to Tier 10.
Blatant power creep.
Tier X 1560 HP in a clip fired within less than 8 seconds, plus clip reloading all the time.
Cash/free exp/gold grab.
Blatant whining. It’s not attractive.
yup, you’ll see a handful of people who will go and free xp right to the tier 10, just like a number of other tank lines that came out. this is nothing new. I do agree the clip damage is a bit ridiculous. maybe keep the number of shells in the clip to 3, like on the tier 9?
while we’re at it, nerf the pen on the tier 9, so that there’s still a difference between the top gun on the tier 9 and the tier 10, sort of like the e50 and e50m
How that is less that 8 seconds? When you got 3 sec interclip reload of 4 shells magazine.
but the faster you fire, the slower the tank reloads…. so its not
Ya but remember Tier 10 requires almost a minute to fully reload the clip if you fire all 4 shots. Every shot you fire resets the reload and it takes longer for more shots.
And it takes 3 s per shot. So from the time of firing the first shot of a full clip till you can fire a 5th shot if you fire all 4 at once it takes: 70 seconds
Itll be 9 seconds for the entire clip, and the Batchat has better interclip
Also the 19s for the longest reload is not for the whole clip but just for the first shell of the clip. Aka after 4 shots have been fired the full clip reload is 58s.
This thing takes longer to load 2 shells then it takes a 50B to reload its entire magazine. You will never be without shells but you will have to wait a very long time for a new one
If its reload is you fire one shot and it starts reloading immediately and you fire the 2nd shot and the 2nd shell starts reloading parallel too, then this will be good tanks.
If it reloads first shell and after this the 2nd starts its reloading, then this tanks will be utter garbage
You start reloading immediately soon as you fire.
If you fire before you finish reloading, it resets the process and starts again.
The shells start reloading one at a time, not all at once.
It has a lower DPM than a regular single shot tank when not using its clip. It has a longer drum reload when it clips out completely.
BUT it has the flexibility to play either was as the situation dictates.
You can trade shots with someone at long range until you’ve done enough damage to make them clipable, then immediately charge in and finish them off. And while it may take a long time to get a full clip back up again, you have a rounds ready to fire again long before a true autoloader and are not entirely defenseless for your entire reload.
Yea, but 58 sec full clip reload, plus the fact that you Fire while reloading, the timer resets
seems to have a number of similarities to the tier 9 and 10 czech vehicles. look forward to seeing what they look like
Empty a clip for a total of 58s reload that sounds so fun..
That’s why you have an option to fire one shell at a time. Not to mention that 58s is to reload FULL clip, you will be able to open fire as soon as one shell is loaded.
not all the time: after every shot it resets the time
Is there any news regarding the low tier tanks?
Still too much speculation right now.
Thanks for the information wish there was more.
Im betting tier 8 is the m47 patton
based on the stats, the tier 9 and 10 looks like the OTO-Centauro (Italian Leopard 1 with an autoloader) and some sort of prototype
Looks interesting. You get something between an autoloader and a single shot cannon which if directly compared to either is inferior, but has the flexibility to be either as needed.
Ignoring the autoloader they look good anyway with good accuracy, aim time, penetration and mobility (although we don’t know hp/t and gun dispersion values yet).
I am now very interested.
58 sec to reload clip is really too, too much time.
58 sec to reload clip among reload time cheaters is just a suicide.
58s is a long time but you won’t be using the autoloading capabilities of it all the time. With that accuracy and with the “good” gun depression they apperently get it will be an opportunistic sniper which can unload 1560 damage into you if you misposition.
actually it’s ”only” 19 sec to be able to fire again
Yes, but you can fire off shells already in the clip before the full reload is complete,which true autoloaders cannot do.
The flexibility of being both an autoloader and a single shot tank at the same time though… Irresistible
… if you have not the disavantage of both.,,,
Do anyone remember the “For The Record” website?
They mentioned “Autoloader Leopard 1” (a.k.a. OTO-Centauro) tank before.
