I know it takes time for everything to settle and having the server population getting used to new tanks, new maps and tactics,
however when will you begin to look into performance on recently added/changed tanks like IS-8 and evaluate the need of re-balancing?
Sometimes this tank is a beast pwning everything, however most of the time those IS-8 tanks seems to be the downfall of entire teams because they are made of wet paper and are required to massively expose themself to get the most of the new low alpha cannon (which is great on ST-1 and IS-4 btw)
This must be the first tier 9 heavy that doesn't make people think twice before they try to flesh it even though it's not a bad tank? I would have thought you could find a high alpha cannon that reminds more of the S70 for the IS-7 and suit the role of a shock tank better?
In regards to the IS-8 which is a totally different tank compared to the IS-4, why did you choose to have the IS-8 tank getting the old IS-4 statistics transfered over?
It doesn't makes sense at all for me and most I know. If I look at my IS-8 I had plenty steel walls, however new players should be lucky if they ever got a single... I would have either moved them with the IS-4 or locked them and created a new entry for the new IS-4 and the IS-8.
