to modify it to the perfectly acceptable form or Auto ,Re-loader as
per the Italian tanks? DMeekeeboo: That's not up to me, I've passed on all the feedback from
all the sources and different perspectives I can. The rest of the
community team has done the same and continue to do the
same. 17:14 Added after 7 minutes

*********, just what the game needed. Tx WG for making it easy to
leave game". And I never would, because it's indeed pointless and
useless. I also never said, that the IS-3A would be OP. I
said that I think it's broken and unbalanced, which doesn't
necessarily mean that it's OP... and this based on comparison with
other tanks and the opinions of others, which again is not rocket
science. but when does something become a fact? When am I
allowed to say "it's OP because..."? the whole point I try to make,
since the first post with the "don't need to shoot myself, to know
that it hurts"- comparison, is that an experienced player doesn't
need to play a tank or have "xy data sets" to paint an APPROXIMATE
picture. Just as everyone would know that a regular Maus in the
current meta, buffed to 30hp/t, 70kph max., increased turn rate, 3k
Alpha with 2seconds reload would be completely OP! FACT! I don't
need to play it and I don't need "data sets" or "examples" to know
that... neither do you, nor any other WOT player that has the
slightest idea of WOT. And I don't need to play the
IS-3A ( which I probably never will anyways, because the only way
of maybe getting on (edit: right now, ofc), is gambling 
) to be able to judge it and to say
that imho the "inverse autoreloader" is a broken mechanic, the way
it is implemented right now. Because it takes the Italian concept
and removes the biggest disadvantage of having a long reload for
the first shell after you fired a whole "clip". The IS-3A right now
has a normal reload time for the first shell, even faster than the
IS-3 on paper (lol) with the option of having two additional
rounds, without a huge drawback and this is in my opinion outright
broken. I don't need to play a single round to come to this
conclusion. And you are right, I myself didn't know if it that made
it OP, that's why I continue to listen and watch CCs and other
capable streamers, and as you know they all are very clear with
what they have to say about the tank... and I am not really
surprised by it, and I would guess neither are you. And btw,
the article is still wrong, because, again, you don't have an
abysmally long reload when trading, you have the fastest possible
on the tank + potential burst damage........... the description
would fit to a regular autoreloader, but hey, I guess that wouldn't
be good enough....
and Imho just giving the IS-3A a normal
autoreloader, would probably fix most of the situation.
eekeeboo: I didn't say you did make that statement, but that was one
of the statements on the first page when I replied and asked people
to reserve judgement until they have more experience with the
vehicle. Quite literally the very morning of release those
statements were being made before even the videos from CC's were
being released based on statistics. You can say "I
think that...." any time you like. On the other hand if you were to
say "It's OP...." there's a very big difference between the two.
It's like when people say "MM is rigged because...." vs "I think MM
is funky because..." The analogy you used was flawed in that
you know that a bullet will have a definite effect. It's well
documented, known and seen everywhere. Even then some people will
assume they do things they don't.... because of misleading
information. Whereas if you haven't played it, not seen it played,
you only see it has gun performance, but you don't see how this
behaves in actual behaviour etc. You saying you
continue to listen to CC's and look at judgements is good, it's
what I asked people to do, rather than making instant judgements on
little to no information. This is the right way to form an opinion
on something like the IS-3A (and anything else). (I
still need to see more of the baby tank emoji, it's not used enough
on the forums imho).
