1) Stop playing WoT untill my Panther gets replaced with the Panther2.
2) Grind to Panther2 and play normally, eventually getting it replaced with an E-50.
All depends on how soon the E-50 is coming... is this stuff coming out in the 6.4 patch or afterwards?

Quote thanks for the reply, So can I assume that means no new tanks but you might rebalance some of the weaker tanks?
or does that mean you might only replace a single tank like the T 34 etc.

FaustianQ, on 30 April 2011 - 08:06 PM, said: It does. Current M26 fully upgraded is an M46, so the reason I want to know if the new M46 has the better armor slope of the M47, then the new M46 is justified.
Also, I don't see how the M48 would be overpowered - it has 110mm of armor at 60 degree angle with a similar glacis plate shape as the IS-3. No one thinks the IS-3 is OP. The M48 also historically had access to a 105mm - neither the M46 or M47 did.
Also, Overlord, will we get the M36/M41 90mm guns and the M32 76mm? They had slightly better performance due to overpressure (10-15% improvement IIRC). By the Korean war we started overpressuring our ammo by about 25% (38k to 48-50k), so I'm wondering if we won't receive guns that reflect this. M32 76mm was used on the E8 in Korea IIRC, it'd be nice to have as a T7 gun with similar boosts as the T7 85mm on the T-34-85 gets.

I don't want to sell the KV-2, buy a KV and then Grind the KV again just to get the T6. That would take awhile. I just hope support changes my name from DL420 to Dumble ASAP. It has been 2 days since I mailed it to them. After a week of not being able to play world of tanks I think I am having withdrawal symptoms. I miss playing alot

FaustianQ, on 30 April 2011 - 07:54 PM, said: uh, what? M47 has the same thickness at a far superior angle (100mm at 60 degrees rather then 47 degrees) That's a massive improvement in protection. The hulls are also visibly different. So again, does the M46 Patton you plan have the better frontal hull angle of the M47? Otherwise, why did you revise the tree?

Quote Well, from what I'm reading, it's going to be over multiple patches. So I guess when the revision occurs, then you get that bonus. Which means lots of time to get some of these as the USSR branch revisions don't seem like they'll be occurring anytime soon, for example.
On the other hand, the Panther and Panther II changes will probably occur very soon since I believe the German changes have been a priority for some time (after American TDs).

Is the StuG E-100 the TD from the image posted in page 4?
How come players with the Pershing will only get the M46 and not both, like players who have the Panther I?

TxFire4305, on 30 April 2011 - 07:29 PM, said: What was the reasoning behind the decision to include the M46 which is a renamed version of the M26E2?
" Upgrade of existing M26. New compact transmission and engine with increased power to 810 hp (600 kW). Improved 90mm M3 gun, with bore evacuator and other modifications. Additional conversions beyond the prototype were redesignated as the T40, then were standardized as the M46 Patton. A total of 800 M26 tanks were converted to the M46.[81]" Zalooga 2000

Were the M47, and M48 considered and if so, why were they not chosen?

Cadmus, on 30 April 2011 - 07:12 PM, said: I wonder if any of the tanks stats/modules available will change? For instance I have a KV-3, I have to concede that it is a very powerful tank for T6, but its gun has problems with T7+, so I think it may go from a very strong T6 to a weaker T7.
Also will this change to the tree happen before or after we get the French tanks? I think the French tanks are scheduled for the fall, so I'm curious if we're going to have to wait that long for these changes.
EDIT: My tone may be neutral but I like these changes, I can't wait to learn more!

I like the Pershing can't wait to get it, but what's going to happen? Like it just seemsl ike when this happens it'll mess alot of people up from the trees they are going. Are we going to get all of our experience back so we can do it over again or are just going to have to deal with ok so you went down that path and wanted this tank, but now you have to start at this tank to get the tank you originally wanted. I'm worried if this doesn't come out within the next day or so, its going to ruin some peoples plans.... (to some degree)

Lots of changes and additions. Time to get grinding
As was already asked, it would be great to know when these changes are coming and in what order. There is an oportunity to take advantage of the conversions from the current tree.
