The IS-3A Reborn!

Because most of the crapyou pulled in last year or so makes 0 sense. You buff tanks that are nowhere near priority list. T-34-2 for example hasn't been changed in ages, despite being one of, if not worst T8 in game. Indien panzer also sucks, 65T and TVP VTU are bad, but hey, IS-3A needs buff ASAP. While you still let things like 430U, VK72 and 907 going around like they are best balanced tanks. Please do enlighten us what do you use to balance the tanks, because balance hasn't been worse from start of the game.

Although the so called "abysmally long" reload in a trade-situation is the shortest possible, on par with the regular IS-3, because it has the "inverse autoreloader" and it's actually the last shell that has the "abysmally long" reload time but hey, what do I know? I don't have the tank so I am not allowed to judge that and posting about that would be non constructive, ofc I would have to buy it first...   and all those CCs that say it's broken and unbalanced, also have no clue what they are talking about, let's wait another few months to see how it does, and then maybe balance it...       and that's what I get back to after a half year break...

Listening to playerbase feedback. It took 6 months to nerf a f***** maus. Won't even go into detail of 268v4 or 3/5/7 template..    It takes time to test things like these you might add. Doesn't look like recent stuff has been tested at all. Sandbox - what is that ?! CT was up for like what - a week or so?     I know you are new into this position and want to do as good as you can, but don't make claims like that, when everyone knows the truth.

Or will it be buffed "in whole picture" with 0.2% better DPM in 2021 after enough "Testing", if this game is even alive beyond 2019.     You find caernarvon  a good Tier8 tank, who does not when you gave it 1) Better Bigger Gun with best DPM in class, 2) you Buffed Turret armor so it is Stronger than Tier9 E75 If you buff Tiger2 the same way you did caernarvon it would also be a good tier8 tank, when can we expect you to relive us from our Buyers Remorse for German Tiger/Panther tanks?  


Lethul, on 12 December 2018 - 08:11 PM, said: @eekeeboo   So now everyone who has access to it agrees that it is disgustingly OP. Am I allowed to think it is OP now or do I still have nothing to say until I have played it myself?  The funny thing is if we are not allowed to speak up until it is released, when should we speak up? Now it is already released and since it is a premium you will refuse to nerf it. You have already made the game a worse game with 1.3.     


jksoler, on 12 December 2018 - 08:57 PM, said: I have the IS-3A. I paid for it, and it was not OP to start. Now it seems to be OP. Fine. That means I can play it and be competitive when the MM throws me against Tier Xs and the Tier Xs in my team are red line campers. That means I can play and have fun clipping higher tier X tanks. I hope they do not nerf it too much. Maybe not sell it? So it will be like the E25 - OP but rare. That will not break the game. The problem with the game now is the MM, not the tanks. However, I agree that the German tanks need a real buff now. That would be a great step forwards.

After so many negative players comments, we have such announcement: “There is a chance this mechanic will be added to more vehicles in the future”. It is no longer important whether tanks in game have ANY connection to history and wars. No matter that such “mechanic” is PURE SCIENCE FICTION, “There is a chance”… I think someone in WG planning to kill the game, step by step!
