Wow they fucking nerfed it as well just to gain 40 extra dmg…
good thing all the idiots doing work under ritas name
WTF?? This is a huge nerf. I take monility over 40 dmg annyday!
The Emil I already suffers because it’s mobility is terrible on anything except level, paved surfaces – there is no reason that WG should be further nerfing its already poor mobility.
The existing gun is workable – the slightly lacking penetration and gun handling balances out the turret armor and gun depression. I’m not even sure that I would consider the changes to the gun a buff. Sure the DPM is up slightly, but the clip damage is way down – 1280 damage to 1080.
Honestly, the Emil I is fine just the way it is. Maybe the engine power or terrain resistance could use a slight buff, but there are OTHER tanks that are much more deserving of a rebalance.
*cough* IS-3A *cough* Type 5 *cough*
Have you ever played the IS3A?
It is balanced be the horribly unreliable gun.
My average damage on normal IS3 is much higher than on IS3A.
Congrat for WG, this is the way to go!
Nerf everything else because its got +40dmg, well done.
What the next? Tiger 2 with 270dmg and mobility nerf? These ppl srsly dont know their own game at all.
Wtf did I just see?!?!
Is wargaming out of its mind? I thought they were going to overall buff the swedish heavy line, and it looked absolutely fine in the first iteration, but then they started nerfing the already very poor gun handling, and now they took away the mobility buff as well. So how is it looking now? 40 more damage, ~200 more dpm and worse gun handling. Yes, this is exactly what this tank needed… This is like a nightmare! I have been waiting for swedish heavy buffs ever since it was announced in November, and now I wish they didn’t touch the line at all. I can’t even imagine what will they do to the kranvagn. Probably nerf gunhandling, cuz it’s not bad enough, and also nerf mobility while they are at it, because at the end of the day, these are not russian tanks. Well go and fuck yourself wargaming! Russian bias is fucking real.
So the line that had its mobility nerfed from the get go, even though they were designed to have good mobility, just so they could add more armor. Is now going to lose even more mobility so they can add damage and continue to ignore the shitty gun handling? What the hell are they smoking?
It’s not going to “lose even more mobility”, in a previous iteration of the supertest they buffed the mobility, and before it even became news on the english sites the mobility buff had been removed.
TL;DR – mobility is unchanged from live server
the mobility is nerfed, hull traverse from 30 to 28°/sec
Huh, missed that somehow. Fair enough
Gun handling is shite, oh dear what a pity, never mind press 2
Ahhaahahaha i see how good player u must be (sarcasm).Gold pen on Emil is 242,and he fights ofc vs other heavys,like defenders VK100 in best case scenario,not to mention tier 9 and 10 heavys.Do u thing that pen is good???Or maybe on Kranwagen gold pen of 300mm???U are one of these bad players who allways complain about gold and think that problem is there in gold,not in bad plays they have.So pls dont comment something u dont understand clearly.
Tiger 2 could also have 360dmg with the same reload as now…. and a 45mm roof…. and the same lowerplate as the JT 8.8….
Then it would be competitive again.
The rest is fine.
Engine with 750-800hp
Yes maybe – but on the other hand: If you want more speed play the VK4502 A….
What happened to the IS4?
They fucked up again, big time..
Literally the only thing it had going for it was mobility.. Now they nerf it….
Meanwhile, Chrysler K is like :
“HUUUURR DUURR”
WG, always searching for wasy to screw things up.
