v.0.6.3.7 update - preliminary discussion

Naeron66, on 15 February 2011 - 12:44 PM, said: No, its because they are using the wrong stats. Popularity is irrelevant to balance and so is survival rate unless its way off the aveage (which might indicate an under or over armoured tank for its tier).
The stats that they should be looking at is damage done per battle and damage received per battle and the ratio between the 2. That is what will show how a tank is balanced. Tanks that are too tough will have higher values in both categories (increased survival means more time to shoot at enemy tanks). It also shows how well balanced tanks are against other tiers and categories (e.g. med vs heavy).
