Any of you seen what's in the pipeline for 8.5?
Bloody Leopard 1!
That's a 70s era MBT! What next? T-72? Reactive armour?
As if that wasn't enough of a FUBAR, it's being classed as a medium.
Main Battle Tanks were basicly mediums...
But the Leopard 1 being in the game makes a mockery of the era excuse they use that the Cheiften can't be in the game (even if the AMX 13 tanks weren't in the game).

They have gone completely off the wall with adding tanks and what not now, the balance is screwed as it is, prem ammo and all that, they really need to stop, get the balance right, stop using the russian server for stats and focus on the Euro and US servers for the balancing, i suspect most of the changes made so far have been because the russian server is so rush rush rush die tactics, that makes certain tiers and tanks look worse than they are etc. I havent been back for a while and at the moment i have no desire, sad really as i really Did enjoy playing.
Agreed, any tank should not be able to one shot a tier 10, even using gold rounds
This game is now a game of chance imo, skill has no affect on the game now, as even some tier 10 players are complete noobs (still smarting over an E-100 costing me a very good win yesterday
, he had a 30% win rate after 80+ battles and a 600 eff.
)Even our weekend special is still not up, yet US sever had details yesterday, also afaik the US and Russian servers got away with the british shell profit in last patch, but EU didn't
Are WG trying to drive away all the decent players on purpose? because it seems they are doing everything wrong.
I would rather have less tanks but with a better balance, not introducing new lines of tanks every few months.

t28 prototype is awful. SLOOOWWWW and although it looks like it has decent frontal armour it seems to get penned by everything. And being open is so vulnerable to arty.
I hated it.
T30 was great though - the top gun is just awesome and its not too slow although you need to keep your hull hidden away. I had really high hopes of the T110E4 but the gold ammo mess up kicked in just after I'd got it so all that armour I had ground for was suddenly useless.

The E4 once upon a time was fairly decent but it received the nerf hammer a couple of patches into its release.
WG release a good tank, people grind towards it or convert xp, they then subsequently nerf it to hell to "balance it". Too many times this has happened with top tier tanks I've grinded. Little point to the game now.....god I sound like a broken record!

I'd really like a Hardcore mode in this game:
Hardcore mode,
-Starts at Tier 7
-Removes Premium Ammo
-Arty limited to 1 per side
-Statistics Cap (say +50% winrate, 1000 eff and 4k min games for example) which if you don't meet, you don't have access.
I'd certainly become a Hardcore only player...

Damn! i was saving for the M103 and now they have a equipment sale.
I also have the KV-4 and VK4502A unlocked, but i have no interest on going further down those trees so i probably wont buy them.
But i could do with some equipment
edit, thats not a bad idea link, have a 2 tier game, once u are good enough, then u can move upto the better tier, no more noobs would be heaven
and what is the best equipment for M103?
Thinking of Spall liner, rammer and wet ammo rack

Not a 2 tier game as such, just a seperate game mode. Allowing all players to play wot as it is, or the better players to play another mode when they want to.
M103 = Rammer, enhanced gld and Vents i'd suggest. Though I have Rammer, toolbox and Vents.

I was reading that the loaders/ammo rack are soft on this tank, do u have any crew trained with safe storage?
I dont, but i may just retrain 1 skill for it.

I probably do yeh. I tend to on the heavies and medium tanks.
I'm currently on the Wolverine, lack of funds and a fond memory of the Warlord comic from my distant youth mean that I am quite happy playing this at the moment 
Have they nerfed the JagdPzIV even more? It's likely to get one shotted in most matches nowadays, but I always used to be able to snipe with it. 26 shots and only 17 hits in a match tonight, and none were shots that you would think would miss It keeps getting put into tier 8 matches as well, which is fun
