The Jgpzr e100 gets 'moved' out of the tech tree like the Foch 155 and it comes back in there. Then they shift the FV215 out too and replace that with an autoloading hesh machine.

If you own it before the patch you effectively get a bunch of stuff for free. Other than that it's a pixel tank.

Yeah probably. It's one of those bizarre tanks that they really can't obsolete without breaking the game, and if it's a reward tank you don't even need to waste a crew on it.

I now remember why I stopped with the French line after they nerfed the Foch and much of the rest of the line.

In adequate armor: Check
Huge easy weakpoint: Check
Awful gun handling: Check
Low DPM for tier: Check
Anemics alpha for teir + gun handling: Check
But at least it is kind of fast in a straight line on level ground.

First game out with the T-34-85-M



This is with a 75% trained crew. And after being shot in the back multiple times by the other T-34-85M who really needs to uninstall the game because he loving sucked.
After telling them all to go kill themselves, I got a message from the Matilda driver with "sounds like a Pansy comment", the Matilda that got off one, maybe two shots that hit anything

If any goons with good recents (let's say 2600+) want a clan to do strongholds with, hit me up. I'm an officer in BRVE and we've got a T10 stronghold and financial unit and run credit boosts for strongholds pretty much every day. Mostly T6 because it's really hard to find opposing T8 teams, but T8 whenever we can get it.

quote:

AMX 50 Foch (155)

If you think of the AMX 50 Foch (155), this one is definitely a keeper. Although it developed a few weaknesses over the years and pales in comparison to other top-tier TDs, it can be seen rolling down the battlefields every once in while. At the same, following the tweaks to Tiers VIII–IX, this TD became unfit for the top Tier, which created a dilemma. Many players in the community have a soft spot for the AMX 50 Foch (155) and removing it from the game would make no one happy. It took us a while, but we found a way out that should give the revised TD line a Tier X to match, and leave the good ol’ Foch (155) in the roster.

Starting in 9.20, the Foch (155) becomes a special vehicle, while a completely new TD; the AMX 50 Foch B, rolls out on Tier X. Basically, this newcomer is a revised version of the AMX 50 Foch (155), equipped with a six-round 120mm autoloader capable of dealing 400 alpha damage instead of the 155 gun. It is also reinforced with better side and front armor. Due to a low silhouette, the AMX 50 Foch (155) used to have fairly poor gun depression and elevation, limiting the tank’s usefulness. We increased both to boost its effectiveness on uneven terrain.

quote:

AMX 50 Foch B

Let’s explain some purely technical details of the transition:

What’s with the AMX 50 Foch’s (155) combat parameters?
It benefits from the same set of improvements the new Tier X received (except for the gun; it retains the 155mm autoloader): its front and side armor got thicker and gun depression and elevation went up a few degrees.
How can you get the AMX 50 Foch B and the AMX 50 Foch (155)?
If you researched and purchased the AMX 50 Foch (155), it remains in your Garage, changing its status to a special vehicle, and you also get the AMX 50 Foch B. If you researched but haven’t purchased it just yet, you have until 9.20’s launch to do it. Lastly, if you’re in the process of researching it, you have to hurry, as the AMX 50 Foch (155) won’t be available for purchase after 9.20.
What stays on the AMX 50 Foch (155)?
It keeps its battle statistics, XP, achievements, medals, and marks of excellence.
What gets transferred to the AMX 50 Foch B?
All customization items (camo, emblems, and inscriptions) go to the AMX 50 Foch B for their remaining duration. The AMX 50 Foch’s (155) Crew gets retrained for the AMX 50 Foch B. Since the AMX 50 Foch (155) has a special status, you can recruit a Crew from any French TD without penalty.
What’s with rounds and equipment?
Shells were removed, but fear not; you’ll get the full amount of Credits they cost you credited to your account. Equipment gets de-mounted and moved to Storage, and you can use it on any other vehicle.

It's a weird tree that's going to get stranger.

I play the T8 the same way I play the 122-44, like a total aggressive psychopath. It usually works too. I hope these changes makes the tree feel like it has a purpose, they just don't have that je ne sais quoi that some of the other TD trees have.

Also if I remember correctly, the new T10 we'll have 2 seconds between shots :allears:.

Jesus, I was never great at this game, but there was a time when I was at least decent. Now I am just flaming garbage. Play style doesn't seem to matter.

NEVER FUCKING TAKE A NIGHT OFF CLAN WARS.
So while watching the MTG Pro Tour, I played 21 Cruiser 2 games. I had a lot of fun derping people. In those 21 games, I had 20 games where the top tier was 4, and 1 game where the top tier was 3. Matchmaker's not nearly as broken as before the change (where you'd seriously go ten games in a row facing 5-10 tier 5 tanks) but yeah....

I made some friends though.
