They said on facebook that they also made The Defender have a more fighting chance in Frontlines :psyduck:. They even linked to the patch notes from the asia server that does not explain what they even did to it. :wtc:

E- Forgot to add that they also claimed that it is live now.

It's something about lights. When the 13 90 first came out it was my highest XP champion for a long time. Soloing an IS-7 nets you a gently caress ton of XP.

Been playing a little bit of frontlines which are fun but the nerfed rewards relative to their first introduction is such a loving nut kick. Additionally, some of the terrain is crazy glitchy causing the reticle to straight up not aim in the vague vacinity of a target and when you do it eats your shell even though the tank is rendered 5 to the left of it. Finally, loving wheeled vehicles can be some insane bullshit. Crazy on the move accuracy and half the time you hit the tire for zero damage. What is even the point of a light tank then.

In taking about LTs though holy poo poo the base pen on most them is atrocious. The M41D has the best base pen (oh look more premium bullshit power creep) and a really good APCR premium round. The German Bulldog gets a solid 180 90mm base, a 250 HEAT, and a freaking 105mm pen HE shell. The gently caress. So I grabbed a HWK 12 and man does it suck rear end. I have the LTTB which is ok but doesn't do aiming down and because aiming is as arbitrary as it ever was just loves tossing poo poo everywhere and the US tree Bulldog which is a shadow of its former self. So freaking annoying.

One other note now that I'm ranting....WoWs saw a huge drop off in games played Q1 this year compared to last year. I know WoT has been bleeding player base the last few years...so I'm really curious to see if there is as large a fall off for WoT.

Frontlines reward should be a tier 9. The Tier 8s are the special Emil variant and the WZ111 I believe.

The VTU is some special kind of garbage, where there might be a configuration of the stock turret and a certain gun where it's merely a bad tank instead of unplayable, but why bother figuring that out instead of just free XPing past it.

I mean. Good on Wargaming for somewhat pulling in money for a good cause but if you donate $10 you have to play 20 battles to get three days premium time. Or you know gently caress those guys we are raising money for and buy our 30 day premium time for almost the same amount. But for $50 and $250 well. Read on in the link above.

Im sure people would rather donate what they want to without being inclined for being punched in the dick several times.

Speaking of the VTU, why isn't that thing the premium tank and this T27 in the tech tree? :psyduck: I mean obviously they want to sell premium tanks* but they're not even trying to make them no better than the tech tree versions. It'd make sense for the autoloader to be in the tech tree and a less-lovely VTU be the premium.

*And holy gently caress, are we getting a new tier 8 premium tank every week now? Last week it was the TS-5, before that it was the Lansen, now this thing? Jesus christ Wargaming.... :stare:

Yup, when they reorganized the LTs they hosed up the existing ones, and also made the high tier ones less accurate with less pen and view range to discourage sniping and to force a specific equipment loadout (so much for player customization, huh?) With the existing LTs, they ended up nerfing them instead of just reassigning them to the tier for which they were already balanced (i.e. generally a tier higher than they already were.) The famed Wargaming "balance department," ladies and gentlemen! :jerkbag:
