@That Guy it is crap. Got absolutely neutered when WG rebalanced all the lights back in batch 9.18 and it never got the buffs it needs.. though it was really easy to 3 mark, the requirements are laughably low for a reason.
@Tomato Potato honestly I don’t see how they didn’t move the M8A1 to tier 5 with how bad they dicked over the crusader and covenanter, but I’m also OK with that.
@Tomato Potato Played the luchs and I think they actually buffed it. They slowed the rate of fire on the auto cannon and now you can hit your shots at range. Did 2500 damage in my first game.
Wow! Full view range while moving? Mine is about 400 yds, and that’s with experimental optics, recon, sit awareness. I should try running rations. Not a big fan of being tier 5 now. MM now sucks on this tank. I’m stuck passive scouting in tier 5 games.
@-FK- no, in fact they nerfed them by losing more speed when turning, i did some testing and didnt see any improvements on the movement, just nerfs, but i may be wrong
I’m all but done with the game I log in look at my tanks and log out so I’m at that stage where I don’t even play the game But I did grab the A-20 a few weeks back maybe it can be a fun tank again. I’ll see I guess.
The tech tree change is whatever, but my complain is the changes to the tanks. Especially the CLASS SWAP and TIER BUMPS. ▪︎ KV-1S being bumped to tier 6 while still having all the attributes of tier 5. KV-85 should’ve stayed on the tech tree and KV-1S as tier 5 Collector’s Vehicle. ▪︎ VK 30.01 (P) being swapped to a heavy tank completely destroys what used to be a great medium tank. Now it becomes a “heavy” with medium armor and can’t do its job. That and VK 30.01 (H) should have never have their classes swapped. ▪︎ Covenanter and Crusader being bumped to tier 5 and 6 and classed as Light Tanks are just completely unnecessary and super dumb. They should’ve stayed where they were. ▪︎ I would complain about BT-7 too, but that thing can actually serve well in tier 4 albeit with super small gun.
They clearly put zero thought into how these vehicles will perform. I sold my VK today as I discovered it’s mobility and camo has been supernerfed and like you say the armour being average at best. The covenanter is now the old crusader and the Crusader is simply pitiful now. Does WG hate the British tanks the most? On the subject of the A20 – I have a T-127, BT-SV and M3 Light as crew trainers for this, but even with a 3 skill crew I suspect this will be completely uncompetetive untill they decide to buff them in who knows, 2-3 years time after they’ve released some 20 odd premiums…
Tanks moved up a tier: Covenanter – some mobility and accuracy buffs, more ammo but no pen buff Crusader – some mobility and accuracy buffs, more ammo but no pen buff
A-20 – some mobility and accuracy buffs, more ammo but no pen buff
KV-1S – some mobility and accuracy buffs, more ammo AND ~20mm pen buff for the 85mm gun
Hmmmmmmmmm. Also, one of the most fun mediums, the VK 30.01 P is now a “heavy” tank. With no armour buff and only mobility nerfs. HMMMMMMMM. Oh, and of course, while there is no SPGs under tier V in the tech tree, they’re still available as “collectors” vehicles, but now with more ammo, up to and including tier VI. With no other changes to them. Because you know. Balance.
madracer27 i mean, it’s the same gun the Lee had, so at T4 it’s still workable. The 75 howitzer though, that’s the world’s most useless gun ever. Worse RoF, and less ammo. Why?
Use Enhancer for Youtube, you can turn all the noise off (well, never seem to work for me but the option is there) or simply put the video in Picture-in-Picture which leaves the overlay in the original place but the rest of the video “pops forward” so you actually can see everything.
The update is crap, techtree change is a joke improved rofl, as if it was so hard too follow lines and now you have tanks in two spots collectable and the techtree. Hmmm 1 place too see all your tanks has now 2 places. Then there is the 10 year event not theres a great joke pulled on us all, skins for a tank that you first have too buy or crap emblems that look like cartoon crap. GG wargaming 9 years of playing are coming too an end for me. MM is bad most randoms are full of muppets were 80 % of your team die within 2 mins. Also the inbalance of the low tiers now changing the level of the tanks with no change in dpm or armour. then there is matches 3 arti 6 whelled vehicles great job Wg.
Low tiers has gotta so hard to play. For a long time I pretty much only played 9-10. Went back to play some of my favorite tier 5-6 and holy crap and the difference in play style.
The reducing of tech trees really didn’t work, and there’s so much less variety now. You can see what tanks really got shoehorned into their new places where they don’t belong. I might have to finally get an arty so I can do some of these missions though.
First view
second
New update is, uh, interesting, to say the least.
The best thing of it for me was getting 1300 universal fragments and 20-80 national ones of each nation, got an EBR with no grinding.
@zGJungle ZG Got the Jagtiger, T69 and some other stuff
I almost feel as though i need to ping the enemies for my allied tanks to shoot them its so annoying
I got the mt 25 for free cos I researched the T-50 lol
Mt 25 is bloody amazing 🙂
@WoT_ GamingElite *was
WoT_ GamingElite oh I heard that its crap.
@That Guy it is crap. Got absolutely neutered when WG rebalanced all the lights back in batch 9.18 and it never got the buffs it needs.. though it was really easy to 3 mark, the requirements are laughably low for a reason.
Lul too much Tomatoes there
Has anyone seen how hard they nerfed the pz1c?
@Ash The Swan You forgot the mobility of a tier 6 medium.
@Tomato Potato honestly I don’t see how they didn’t move the M8A1 to tier 5 with how bad they dicked over the crusader and covenanter, but I’m also OK with that.
@Tomato Potato Played the luchs and I think they actually buffed it. They slowed the rate of fire on the auto cannon and now you can hit your shots at range. Did 2500 damage in my first game.
@matthew paine You would be right if rate of fire was the only thing they’d nerved. But additionally they
* increased dispersion when turning the turret by 12 %
* increased dispersion after firing by 25 %
* increased aim time from 2.1 to 2.2 s
@Ash The Swan Funniest thing is, it has pretty much the same gun as the tier VII, with way better reload. WG balancing team at it’s finest.
That reload!!
came back from a long break of a few years recently, only for the game to update and remove a load of tanks i was using from the tech tree – v sad 🙁
You can still use them.
whats the point? i cant progress with them
@diabalotia True. I can imagine that sucks.
Good vid
Wow! Full view range while moving? Mine is about 400 yds, and that’s with experimental optics, recon, sit awareness.

Not a big fan of being tier 5 now. MM now sucks on this tank. I’m stuck passive scouting in tier 5 games.
Tank that is playable only with gold and only on-tier. GJ WG!
I remember that initial location being quite popular way back in the early days. What’s old is new again?
No wheelies so I guess it’s kinda safe ?
pew pew pew pew pew pew
Not sure why they up tiered a bunch of tanks without buffing them for their new tier. Those grinds are going to be brutal for new players.
@KingTrygon It is a Tiger 131 with slightly better mobility and less hull armor. Still was one favorite tier 6 mediums. RIP
@matthew paine At least the VK P is now more like the Tiger P! Consistency!
@-FK- no, in fact they nerfed them by losing more speed when turning, i did some testing and didnt see any improvements on the movement, just nerfs, but i may be wrong
matthew paine The British lights are actually totally ridiculously bad, except the Valentine which is a sealclubbers wet dream down at Tier III.
I’ll never forgive the Belorussians for what they did to the Crusader
@-FK- In reverse IF you let off on the gas. Kind of a wash really.
I’m all but done with the game I log in look at my tanks and log out so I’m at that stage where I don’t even play the game
But I did grab the A-20 a few weeks back maybe it can be a fun tank again. I’ll see I guess.
great! you need fire more gold at low tiers now. LMAO

When this new patch came in? I haven’t played in 2 months.
They clearly put zero thought into how these vehicles will perform. I sold my VK today as I discovered it’s mobility and camo has been supernerfed and like you say the armour being average at best. The covenanter is now the old crusader and the Crusader is simply pitiful now. Does WG hate the British tanks the most?

I love how the Cromwell goes up the hill after their whole remaining team is spotted by your cap.
Big Brain moment
Much fisting was done this day – so to speak.
What’s your opinion on the vk 3001p as it is now ?
Ah the nostalgic of this tank I used to play it like a suicidal scout cause is top speed is ridiculous and is really fun
All USSR ARE OP
Same as the old, can’t pen lightly armor tanks even with premium rounds.
The right way to A-20 is put a spall liner and gas and ram this shit out of the lights
Tanks moved up a tier:
Covenanter – some mobility and accuracy buffs, more ammo but no pen buff
Crusader – some mobility and accuracy buffs, more ammo but no pen buff
A-20 – some mobility and accuracy buffs, more ammo but no pen buff
KV-1S – some mobility and accuracy buffs, more ammo AND ~20mm pen buff for the 85mm gun
Hmmmmmmmmm.
Also, one of the most fun mediums, the VK 30.01 P is now a “heavy” tank. With no armour buff and only mobility nerfs. HMMMMMMMM.

Wargaming has proven they don’t understand balance at all. This should not be surprising.
I don’t understand why they put a 105 derp at T4 on a medium. That thing can see T3.
@Appletank8 it’s pretty much just an M4 without the 76mm, all but forcing you to use the derp gun.
madracer27
i mean, it’s the same gun the Lee had, so at T4 it’s still workable.
The 75 howitzer though, that’s the world’s most useless gun ever. Worse RoF, and less ammo. Why?
Crusader is abit faster from 45 to 50
I said it before, and I will say it again. This. Is. Why. Spotting. Missions. Suck. (yes I know this wasn’t a spotting mission)
Now that the KV-2 leads up into the TD lane I finally have a use for the ungodly pile of XP I’ve been accumulating on it at least
Me too, also means I could get the SU152 and skip the SU100
@Mickleblade But why? With a good crew the SU100 has 40% camo when stationary and a 10 second reload for a 122 at T6 is great
The new Oldsmobiles are in early this year!
End of the video is borked, channel overlay obscures the game results.
Use Enhancer for Youtube, you can turn all the noise off (well, never seem to work for me but the option is there) or simply put the video in Picture-in-Picture which leaves the overlay in the original place but the rest of the video “pops forward” so you actually can see everything.
Are u using 57mm or 76mm gun?
57mm
Hate to be thay guy but it’s the 45mm VT2
@IRON LORD MINK ohh.. Thank u xD
WG really fucked me hard with this tech tree change, probably done with this shit game now.
The update is crap, techtree change is a joke improved rofl, as if it was so hard too follow lines and now you have tanks in two spots collectable and the techtree. Hmmm 1 place too see all your tanks has now 2 places.

Death by a 1000 cuts gun
I was never a fan of this. It was to big and slow for a light.
I love watching you play tier 5 battles…you are actually still amazed at how stupidly people play at that level!
Low tiers has gotta so hard to play. For a long time I pretty much only played 9-10. Went back to play some of my favorite tier 5-6 and holy crap and the difference in play style.
please play the covenanter, its the most broken OP monster at tier 5
As I watched this I had an idea. wg, get rid of ALL 6TH SENSE! Except, every light tank gets it automatically.
dank autoloader
Great! So I will now re-buy the A-20 and play it and get reminded how bad I was in the tank!
you should play the “new” 3001p…
tbh it’s not as bad as i thought it would be. high dpm is livable lol
T67 got nerfed? Nani? Someone please tell me the details
Seeing that elc next to the su100y made me laugh a bit too much
Edit: 4:30
The reducing of tech trees really didn’t work, and there’s so much less variety now. You can see what tanks really got shoehorned into their new places where they don’t belong. I might have to finally get an arty so I can do some of these missions though.
What was Type T-34 doing? He made last movement at 1:05 🙂
I wonder how many people here complaining are also still spending money with WG…I bet it’s a lot of you.
