7.5 Update Overview

I have been wondering about the forward placement of the combat compartment and turret on the new E50 ausf M; will that affect gun depression?
Best regards

Are they going to hit the t34-85 and the t-43 with a terrible nerf? What are they replacing the 100mm with? The t34-85 "might" be ok with the loss of the 100mm, but for the t-43? that would be bad! I mean, the 100mm was barely adequate for the fights the t-43 got if I remember correctly. (good thing i got the t-44 before this hit)
Except for that part, this seems like a good patch. I hope the testers try and see if the t34-85 and t43 will be extra horrible on the test servers.

Two patches ago the overall profitability of the E-50 was improved, and then in the last patch when the new transmission was added the full repair costs of the E-50 went up by ~2000 credits, effectively wiping out the previous adjustment. Possibly the E-75 is in the same situation (I don't have one, I can't say).


upinarms, on Jul 12 2012 - 19:05, said: well considering the m48a1 is a design from 1951 (production started in 1952) and the t62 was developed in 1961 (production started in 1962?) id say 2 things are proven;
1. this game is completely biased towards the soviet tanks (as a side note, just about every tank is portrayed as better than any american at equal tier level, which in reality is just not true)
2. the devs lied when they claimed that they would only use tanks from before 1960.
given this, they could fix it by making the m46 a t8 premium, make the m48 a t9 medium, and give us the m60 (also developed in 1961).

thank a lot WOT Game designers


Ceaddil, on Jul 12 2012 - 19:36, said: Glad to hear the profitability changes but wondering why the VK2801 was not adjusted at all... it seems to cost me money to run this tank if the game ends in a defeat. Not saying I want it to be a cash cow but it should at least break even if you have a bad match.

ApathyCurve, on Jul 12 2012 - 19:52, said: "Marder II: - slight reduction of all gun characteristics"
Allow me to translate: they took the only really fun TD in the game and transformed it into a turnip like all the rest of them. Thanks, WG! T

Wow I really wanted that one.

Lt_Bash, on Jul 12 2012 - 20:58, said: WTF! wargaming?! Why did you take out the F30 85mm? It was awesome in the t28 and made the tank some what tolerable. I don't care if people act little cry babies just becase they got 85mm'ed by a T-28. It must have been them that whined you remove this. Thanks alot for screwing me over.


Sword_of_Light, on Jul 12 2012 - 21:38, said: Wait. Who said more German tanks are coming? You mean the German TDs we were supposed to see back in November? Let me give a small bit of WG history to those who haven't been around for all of their hijinks - the reason WG stopped telling us specific release dates was that they couldn't hit them, and by "couldn't" I mean, by weeks or even months. Rather than opt for honesty and transparency, they went for vague.
Congratulations, WG, you've managed to make me feel ripped off for a game I haven't actually purchased. Heres a hint why thats bad: I'm not ever going to either. I may not even be playing after the next patch - I've had my Marder for more than a year now, and you're replacing it with junk? I was wondering how long it would take you to reach the final insult. Maybe its a good patch, maybe it isnt, I've been wrong in the past about patches - but my bet is that its going to be uninstall time soon.

Rufi000000, on Jul 13 2012 - 01:01, said: I don't really understand why the tier 9 mediums need any changes if they're staying in the same place. Why can't the tier 10s just be better outright? Who wants tier 10 mediums that are the same as the tier 9s were and tier 9s that aren't quite as good as they used to be?
On top of this, I don't see why the T-54 is not getting nerfed like its American and German counterparts. Is nerfing the E-50s gun supposed to justify getting the same gun at tier 10? Will the only improvement upon moving to the tier 10 be you get the ROF and aim time it previously had? That's how I read it and it seems ridiculous.


Dogsoldier6, on Jul 13 2012 - 01:02, said: Ok so my SU-85 is losing its 107mm Gun and I am getting a what? An 85mm upgraded gun? Load the Tennis balls boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for listening to this old fart rant, LOL


PhantomDragoon, on Jul 13 2012 - 01:08, said: I am beginning to wonder about point #1. Do you really appreciate time players spend on your game or is there something else you appreciate more.
Point #2: WTF? If the game is becoming so popular, there will always be people playing the lower Tiers.


slenderfungus, on Jul 13 2012 - 01:59, said: So, let me get this straight. You don't want the middle tiers to die out so the idea is to nerf them and reduce the credit earnings to push players to play them?
I just started playing the SU-85, Marder II and T49, but all three are getting hit some form of nerf of credit earning reduction. I see this as pushing me out of playing those rather than pushing me to play them. After the last credit nerf to the M4A3E8 I sold that one as well and now you are hitting it again? Any thought of repurchasing that tank has just been removed from ever being considered again for me.


PhantomDragoon, on Jul 13 2012 - 02:40, said: Then they are going against the historical accuracy of the vehicles. If the vehicles were superior, then why make them less so. So that some 14 year old whiny bitch can have a lesser tank kill it? BS. If people do their research and know what choices to make to get a good tank; good on them. Let them earn the extra creds. If people are not bright enough or too lazy to research, then they deserve to not make those creds.


GearaDoga, on Jul 13 2012 - 05:35, said: ...If you guys are going ahead with buffs to that pre-order tank, is there any hope for my poor Pz V/IV maybe getting something done to make it slightly less pointless and horrible??
It's a lovely tank, but completely combat ineffective. Even getting something like the Churchill's softer matchmaking would help immensely... Please??


EvilChris, on Jul 13 2012 - 16:34, said: read my above post, they are killing the russian tanks, now we have no good russian tanks in tier 6 and below


Praetor77, on Jul 13 2012 - 16:55, said: Every question got answered but mine, can someone repost it pls, or give me some pluses, since maybe Valter is not seeing it since I have negative rep for telling people to stop whining about nerfs on another thread...
Question is:
What I am wondering about is if the Free XP compensation for the F3 gun on T28 and 107mm on Su-85 only happen if you have the tanks in garage and equipped with those guns...?
