I thought maybe they would give something last minute for the German and Soviet TTs, but I can’t say I’m surprised there’s absolutely no new content for them! (unless you count some nets, a plywood SVT copy with zero difference from the TT one besides look, and a grenade launcher buildable)
I will start with the positives
highly welcome, as a self proclaimed Panzer ace I cant wait to try these in battle.
All are welcome and reasonable, except for SIG SPG, cmon the bison was not even OP. Its situational at best and now its a meme vehicle.
Huge Quality of Life update in customization, IMO this is the best change in the update.
AI improvements are welcome too.
But now I must talk about the less positive things:
Nothing for Axis or Soviets tech tree in this update.
this vehicle is overtiered.
the past 2 months were a spit in the face for both Axis and Soviet factions.
Nothing for their tech tree, but you expect them to buy the low effort copy pasted premium squads?
Hardly any BR changes for them, at least move StuG III F to BR2 and Fiat G.55 to BR3, P-63 to BR3 which was highly requested. New mk.IX Spitfire is still very undertiered too…
Soviets got screwed over the most though.
Urugan was moved from BR2 to BR3 because of its low recoil and high fire rate which made it toxic against new players, but the same update that fixed this added a similar gun to Japan. WHY?
Who thought that this would be a good idea?
Type 100 early is a BR3 gun. period. I honestly cant understand why does the devs fix one gun and add another in its place.
Devs want us to play Soviets as they are now way more fun than ultra weak Germans at BR2-3. That’s what i’ve been doing. RIP Germany. They have crappy smgs, awful-mediocre tanks, mediocre to awful rifles, meh MGs (despite all others being even worse), underpowered planes, no fun gimmicky weapons like RMN-50, all their paras suck. No point in playing them anymore, well unless you pay and get BAR clones for BR3.
They want us to buy silver for real money. It should be obvious by now.
Well, balancing the open-top tanks is a tough one, it wasn’t very balanced, but I see things like that as compensation for those who played the game during the event shortage. It would still be very usable anyway, but it wasn’t my choice.
No Soviet-Japanese front(
Major, first you rework a Kursk map to a Wald. Second we get a Soviet-Japanese front as a wrecked event. That is so sad
I didn’t say it will be done with the major update
Rather controversial change.
(Bugged?) KV platform tech tree vehicle that is literally unkillable with explosive packs or TNT on the same BR as much more rare and open top event vehicle?
Meanwhile Panzerwerfer is still completely useless on BR4 against any tanks it meets – this one needs to be the first to go to BR3, maybe even BR2.
And then you wait 30sec. And next shot will kill 0-2 soldiers. It’s very rare to kill as many people with that thing. There are no point in using that vehicle when you can use free PZ3N (BR3) or Stalingrad PZ3N (BR2) or any other BR2 tank with HEAT/HE + MG.
Now it will be unplayable with every single squad being able to instantly murder you with the faust 60. And BR3 planes/tanks will be laughing at you as they see you as a pinata ready for grabs.
Well this thing generally reloads in under 10 seconds, this is not the KV2. And well it was my favorite tank and it was really powerful, I got a lot of kills with this thing. Although like I said, I see things like this as compensation when the events were really poor. So I don’t agree with this change, but I think it’s right from a balance point of view.
Anyway, this will still kill everything with one shot, so it’s not like it’s useless.
BR2 Germany will get even more deserted than before. I’m permanently moving to BR3. Or even stopping playing that nation all together as their semi is just the worst garbage you can use. They have no good highly armoured tanks and planes also are meh. We should get some new TT fast firing smg at BR3. And some fun BR3 guns like RMN-50 that Soviets and Japan has in form of their Arisaka mortar.
Thank you for reminding me why I didn´t wanted to spend a penny after fooling me and other players who bought unique gun Prohibition Thompson and get unique skin… 
I wonder how many times you have already said something similar.
HE shells hit on the ground deal minor damage to vehicle nearby despite how close it is. Any idea when this will be fixed?
Good to know. Next time you update the customization can you also add this torso to berlin and normandy? It would fit the green forests much better than snowy stalingrad and bulge
Devs were very strict with Axis BR changes now.
Rather disappointing considering they didn’t even get something in TT.
It’s faster than i remember. However you have just 18 rounds and no MG + are completely exposed. So i see no point in bringing it to BR3. KV-2 (premium) has MG, Sherman 105 has MG, both have MGs and good enough armor and are well protected from top and side while Bison is like naked baby if you mess up your shot you are dead. I see no point in playing it over DickerMax.
Well, the trick is to shoot in front of the turret. Unfortunately, an HE shot is generally ineffective even next to the APCs, I never figured out what the problem was.
Will we see anymore br changes?
