I'd probably like the Maus if the front of the turret wasn't a slice of butter :shrug:

what.
They're buffing the Swedish heavies by dropping a shot from the autoloaders but increasing the alpha damage by 10 to 20% and taking 30% off the reload times.

They're doing nothing about the gun handling which is the primary reason no-one plays those loving tanks.

It also means the Kranvagn has gone from a 1600 burst damage potential to 1300 so it can no longer clip tier 8's. Congrats on making a bad tier 10 heavy into the worst tier 10 heavy.

Losing the clip potential does suck, but being able to toss out those higher alpha rounds might be cool, I dunno, it will probably be bad.

No, the truly amazing thing will be seeing what they do to buff the E-100 and IS-4, which are also getting "looked at."

It's 40 extra alpha. If they'd given it 500 I could see it being worth it, because you're still doing 1000 damage or so with the inevitable bounce or miss.

Not touching the gun handling on the entire line is a huge mistake. Thats literally all they needed to do to make that tank much better. Well that and a gold pen increase.

Nope it makes that tank worse than several tier9s. The whole point of an autoloader is the clip damage, you go burst away the other guys health and hide. The shorter reload between shots does loving nothing when the aim time is so bad you're not fully aimed after a shot with the current reload.

Yeah I know I am very familiar with auto-loaders. Having a 440 alpha auto loader is interesting to me but they haven't done enough for that tank.

I'm thinking I'd kind of like these changes for the greatly decreased reload time if nothing else. They're still not going to be great tanks, but at least it won't take ~36 or whatever seconds to reload 4 mediocre shells. They definitely need to buff the pen and gun handling, but this is a start. Oh yeah, some mobility would be nice too. And get rid of arty while they're at it. :v:

They're both getting autoloaders. Just you loving watch. :colbert:

Fake edit: They're going to take the E-100 hull, turn it into a Waffentrager, with a paper turret and a 6-shell autoloader with the JT gun. Would you really put this past Wargaming at this point?

The E-100 will get a 5 clip autoloader, no other changes.

Or having a weak spot on the top of the turret...

the is-4 frontal armor makes no sense. the top plate is 140 mm... the lower glacis is 160 mm? and the two angled shoulders on the front are 180 mm??????? why isn't the strongest armor on the biggest, most obvious surface?

make the upper plate 180 mm and buff the 30 mm rooftop to 50 mm so it can't be overmatched

it will still have weakspots on the front but they'll be smaller

would be good at sidescraping but would suck at brawling because of the weakspots

I came back and played a single game in a Pershing, was one of like 3 or 4 people covering the north flank on Karlia, a blue Super Conquerer and 268 4 come up, focus fire me with 100% HEAT, and then I got hit by a T92 arty shell. Uninstalled and deleted

yeah but it's still unusual for the lower glacis to be thicker than the upper. usually they are the same thickness or the upper is thicker
