It wasnt just the 50cal that was just nerfed in that patch but EVERY single tank MG had its overheat like doubled in that patch.
Maybe the only exception are the Japanese ones since they only have 20 rounds mags and in long range they are just too bad
I have an assumption, I understand that the event will now be for vehicles with 20mm or 37mm guns.
Already pre-ordered it
I will say the one s thst I think they will add also they should be TT not event
Germany wirbelwind
URSS ZSU-37 or ZIS-43
USA crusader MK1 or MK2
Japan So Ki(is literally the only WW2 after the Ta Se SPAA they have on WT that is really japanese)
Ohh no, my tank with auto cannons can defend itself. How horrible. You’re kidding yourself if you think these things are going to even remotely shake up balance for this game. Right now buildable AA is absolute trash and the only counter to planes is other planes. Maybe now pilots will actually have to use their brains and think about angles of attack and scanning for danger instead of mindlessly carpet bombing the objective uncontested if the other team has no planes.
You shot down 2 of the slowest planes…. Congrats. Now do a P51, Bf190, FW and other planes before you try to cook.
It’s an anti-aircraft tank, not a regular tank like the T-34 or Panther. Its main purpose is anti-air, with only limited capability against ground vehicles. That balance shouldn’t be reversed.
That’s why, like I said in my previous post, this feels extremely unfair to players who mainly play at BR 2.
These things already have high-firepower cannons that can easily shred BR 2 tanks and infantry.
On top of that, they can completely deny the sky to slow aircraft that can’t even approach them. Don’t you think that’s way too unfair?
Existing 20mm anti-air guns are already more than enough for dealing with propeller aircrafts. That’s also exactly why we need proper 20mm AA trucks on tech tree.
This preorder vehicles should be focused on taking down absurdly fast and tough jets. Therefore, I believe it makes sense to place it at BR 4, where we actually start facing jets.
Also, the developers should separate the spawn slots for regular tanks and anti-air vehicles.
BR4 and 5 should have upgraded Engi built AA-guns.

I brought down a Seagull with a mortar shot lol. Completely by accident, but still.
Only if they add 2-4 more players per game.
Well even plane bombs are more deadly to planes then to tanks in this game… they should reduce bomb damage to planes… xD
Stop complaining. It only uses a 30mm anti-aircraft cannon, yet you’re describing it as more powerful than a 152mm howitzer. Isn’t that a bit unrealistic?
Unlike tank cannons that fire single shots, these shoot in full auto. Each gun fires at 450 RPM, so with two guns that’s 900 rounds per minute. If you’ve ever used the pre-nerf quad AA guns against infantry, you already know how insanely strong that volume of fire is. Even the Soviet 25mm AA truck makes you realize how deadly just a few hits can be against infantry.
So when you have 30mm cannons throwing shells with 84 grams of TNT each at 900 rounds per minute at BR 3, that’s just ridiculous.
Even the Do 335’s 30mm cannons are already very powerful without any HE. Yet here we have a vehicle with both high-explosive and high-penetration rounds, dual 30mm autocannons, sitting at BR 3. That’s straight-up overpowered.
And it’s especially unfair for BR 2 players, who already have relatively weak anti-tank capabilities. This thing can completely shut down any approach from both BR 2 tanks and aircraft
I guess I need to correct what I said earlier. Even a single shot from the Soviet 25mm AA gun can take out multiple infantry at once. So you can already imagine just how ridiculously powerful dual MK 103s with high-explosive shells would be.
I strongly dont agree. It shall be definitly count as tank. Why? First of all… less HE spam on each battle. and second but most important: there is only 10 players on each side so count with me: 2 guys in tank, 2 guys in plane and 1-2 in AA. Like realy? Wouldnt be better for you to play return back to Warthunder ?
That’s utter nonsense! You forgot this is a Panzer IV chassis, with very thin armor. It’s not a Tiger II heavy tank; it’s nowhere near as terrifying or exaggerated as you make it out to be. A 30mm automatic cannon mounted on a Panzer IV chassis—how terrifying can that be A Panzerfaust anti-tank gun certainly couldn’t penetrate such thin armor, right If you’re complaining about this, why not complain about the KV-2? It also has a 152mm howitzer and machine guns, and heavy armor; why is it at Tier III instead of Tier IV?
