7.5 Patch

[Mr Marram]

So all the french tanks are sitting one tier below on HP and guns and fuckall armour as always.

The T10 batchat obsoletes the 50B, the new T5 (ELC AMX) has a far better gun that the T6 (12t), 170 pen and 240 damage @ 5 RPM (lolwut) vs 144 and 135pen with 10.8 RPM (going up to 12.9 on the 13 75).

One thing I have noticed, on the test server at least, is that T9 meds now seem to get into more T9 max matches rather than with T10s.

[Dahak]

I unlocked the lorraine yesterday and lost my first 6 games (live server not test) because the stock mobility without any armor to write home about is just disgusting. If it getīs another stock engine on patch I wonīt play it anymore from now on as I wonīt get the batmobile unlocked till then anyway.

The Lorraine gets a better engine to start with now that it's been moved up to tier 9.

More specifically, the present Lorraine starts with 575, then goes 750 > 850 > 980. The new Lorraine starts with 850 and can upgrade to 980. Meaning save your XP, you'll be getting a free engine.

Edit: New test build is up, but I'm off to work so you'll have to check shit out yourselves.

Fuck yeah, got my BatChat.

Now...tell me that the patch isn't going to shit on it.

New Bat is rendering the 50B useless. You'll still be around.

Also, this dude here is posting the finalized stats of the new tier 10s, as well as their previous stats for comparison.

I was confounded by these stats too at first, but I'm told the ELC can only rotate the turret X degrees. So yeah it has a gun that rivals the 13 90's except for ROF, but it probably can't really flank.

[Torashuu]

ELC has similar gun traverse as S-51 (hyperbole, but not alot anyway).

[Nobody_Holme]

Elc versus arty: drive up side thinking you're a light. Realise you're a TD, trundle to align gun, THEN rape it. Arty still can't do shit to you.

12t in garage and ready to be sold instantly post-patch crew, checking in.

So apparently they're lowering the match making tier of the Type 59. So it will still be a tier 8 but it will have the match making of a Tier 7 so it will never see Tier 10s ever.

I do not understand why they're doing this. And if they are doing that for the type I want that for all other Tier 8 premiums. Only seems fair vOv

All but the t34 are.

Say it ain't so...

I love my T34, but that might make it way underpowered compared to the new tier 10 tanks. It's already slow as a boat in a river of wiskey and molasses, and now it will have to compete against a whole host of new fast armored behemoths...

Oh well, at least I still have my Type 59.

[DaDutchDude]

Seems the second public test of 7.5 will probably last until August 1st, and will most likely be the last one (source), so I expect release date to be within a week of that.

[Lusulpher]

T5 lights keep their current insane battle tier 7 to 12 spread. Please note, T6 and T7 lights only have BT 11 as top BT. Its only newly rebranded T8 light, 13 90, that gets back to top battle tier 12.

http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index....chmaker-chart/

Otoh my T-34, VK36, T49 and M18 could profit greatly from this.


Edit. Looking at that chart I have a strange feeling T7 and T8 tanks are going to end up royally screwed by this.

Thank you.

Smaller, faster tanks are now fun again.

[Qui Shon]

So can someone lay it down, the facts of tank moving and shit?

Here's what I know:

-T-54 gold ammo will be refunded at full price in gold, as both T-54 and T-62 will shoot HEAT instead of APCR for gold in future.
-BatChat gold ammo will become "useless" as this gun will no longer be used in ClanWars, and Batty gets new gun when it becomes tier 10 tank. It is not refunded but can be used to grind the top gun for AMX 50 120 with the middle gun, which is the same as on Batty currently at tier 9.

-Ferdi, what happens to Ferdi? I do not have JT researched yet, but I have 100k xp on Ferdi, grinding towards JT. What happens to this xp?

[Nobody_Holme]

As ferdi is not elite, XP sits on ferdi.

Also, free tank and slot if you have a 12t in your garage.

Anyone know what's going to happen with modules on non-elited AMX 13s? (My 75 is only missing the 90 research, and I'm puzzled.

[Yankunytjatjara]

any news on the patch? Im grinding the lorraine, I have 90k free exp but I'd rather not use it if I can. The lorraine is hardly a grind

Given that they say they've finalized the stats for all the tier 10s, I don't know if there will be a third test cycle. This one is slated to run into August.

Also, more tweak details listed by WoT Armory. All the shit Wargaming couldn't be bothered to actually detail they were doing when they say "fixed parameters of x vehicle". http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.p...hnotes-test-2/

fuck sake. now 0 damage hits will cost even more and still leave you fucked for 25 seconds

[Dirk Magnum]

27k til Ferdi (and elite JP), and 40k til Lorraine (and elite 13 90.) Figure it's worth grinding the hell out of these before the patch. Guess I should probably buy a Lorraine too since I've finally found enjoyable gameplay in the Frenchies.

Would still like to know what if anything happens for those of us who trained the D10T 100mm Soviet gun. Sure hope it re-locks while freeing up the XP we put into it, but I'm not optimistic.

[Xiang Jiao]

T1 is getting it's view range reduced by almost 100m? Wow, as if grinding up the US heavy line was retarded enough. At least, I'll never have to drive them again.
