DomoSapien: Hey Tankers!
We've got some pretty exciting news to share with you. Balance changes!
The Swedish Heavy line is getting some tweaks. Today we're launching the Supertest for preliminary versions of the updated Emil I, Emil II, and Kranvagn. These tanks have been in the game for a few years now, and it's no secret that they could use a little love (the Emil II and Kranvagn in particular). On paper, they sound pretty sweet. Heavily armored turret, amazing gun depression, and an autoloading magazine system with 4 shells; truly the epitome of ridgeline brawling! Or... so it would seem. Currently, the Swedish autoloaders are too much like those from other nations, despite having some pretty unique characteristics, and they aren't particularly better at anything than other Autoloading heavies of similar tier. Their magazines inflict lots of damage but they take a long time to reload, pulling them away from an active role in battle for a relatively long time.
The idea is to change up the playstyle a little bit - make them reload faster and increase their alpha damage. While removing a shell theoretically reduces your options, taking a comparable amount of time off the total clip reload time acts as a mitigating factor. A reloading autoloader is a helpless autoloader, and having 3 rounds in the clip is better than 1. In addition, the 120mm gun will be getting a slight reduction in its intra-clip reload time between shells.
Overall this means a DPM increase for the Kranvagn by about 20%. Changes aren't final, this is just the first wave of testing for these vehicles so it's likely that more changes will occur down the road.
