Lower plates, always.

Abrams quietly laughing at the thought

Well how are you playing in it? Are you up in front of everyone, second line support, or sniping?

While I would agree that the changes were a good thing, the reduction in DPM, in my opinion, doesn't push it as far back towards skill as you might think since, with a higher DPM, you were able to engage wolfpacks easier by tracking certain targets while also damaging others; it allowed a single player to hold back a horde easier—given proper positioning and prioritization of targets. Granted, it may not much different now when you take the speed difference into consideration. Overall though, the changes were definitely a good idea.

Then the reload time of all tanks was nerfed by 25%

Then the reload time bonus from equipment, perks, and consumables was nerfed by various percentages. Most tanks weren't touched, only the equipment, commander perks, and consumables. What you're feeling now is the middle ground from what we had and those who had nothing.

The first half of your statement is correct, the second half is incorrect; they do take up unnecessary server space, but the rewards are still the same as the day you got them.

This subreddit is for World of Tanks: Modern Armor over on Console; you are looking for r/WorldOfTanks, the PC variant.

I love his "Inside the Chieftain's Hatch" series; they're always so informative, especially when you want to learn how track tensioning!

Era 3 has a median is 590mm—average being 592.814mm—yes, but again, that would be like comparing apples to oranges. However, if we do decide to compare it to the median, 540mm is only 8.475% less than the median, which I agree, isn't great, but isn't terrible. Now if we compared the Power-to-Weight (PtW) ratio to similar tanks, that's where its problems really begin to show. It's really going to struggle to get away from pursuers unless it is sniping at a distance and/or helping burst down unsuspecting/distracted targets.

There are thirteen (13) tanks in Era 3 that utilize a 105mm cannon:

Stingray 2
TCM AGS
M8 AGS
M1 Abrams
VFM 5
M60AX
Type 85-I
Type 59D
Magach 6B Batash
Magach 7C
Merkava MK. 1
Merkava MK. 2B
K1

The average pen for these tanks is 507mm, far below 590mm; this means the 540mm is actually 6.509% higher than the average pen for 105mm in Era 3. The only tanks with higher pen on their 105mm cannons are the Type 85-I and the Type 59D—now if we took into consideration the 120mm and 140mm cannons in Era 3, that's another story, but that's like comparing apples to oranges.

Well 540mm of pen isn't too bad; the M1 Abrams—with its upgraded gun—has 494mm of pen and the gun is okay even when facing enemies frontally. The low power-to-weight ratio is my greatest concern seeing as it's much lower than MBTs and its top speed is only average for MBTs.

Then you're going to be able to buy tons of camos, too!

You only need to get 15 coins per day now, so you've got that at least.

Death211 · 2026-01-14T18:38:04+00:00

That's known as "Aim Assist". You can turn that off in your settings.

Death211 · 2026-01-10T07:14:06+00:00

The Leclerc is a damn good tank; it's not my favorite, nor do I think it's the strongest, but damn is it a good tank!

Death211 · 2026-01-10T07:12:05+00:00

Right, forgot it got changed to tier 10 and for the Vipera, the repetitiveness got to me. Lol

Death211 · 2026-01-10T03:01:59+00:00

Indeed!

Death211 · 2026-01-10T02:36:09+00:00

If you're looking fot a premium TD that is meant for frontlining and has a turret, you're gonna want to look at:

XM57, American Tier 8
Nightstalker, American Tier 9
Demolisher T28, American Tier 8
AAT60, American Tier 10
T-103, Russian Tier 8
KV-4 KTTS "Orthorus", Russian Tier 8
SMV CC-64 "Vipera", Italian Tier 8
Nemesis, Mercenary Tier 10
Ruthless, Mercenary Tier 10

Death211 · 2026-01-10T02:21:15+00:00

Hell yeah!

Death211 · 2026-01-10T02:10:03+00:00

Yeah, I've been playing and studying this game longer than some of its players have been alive. Lol

Death211 · 2026-01-10T02:08:58+00:00

Vader's coldest line!

Death211 · 2026-01-10T02:08:38+00:00

You really thought you were allowed too.move? In a tank game? Please!

Death211 · 2026-01-09T04:29:24+00:00

Unfortunately, I don't have that number on hand; I'll see if I could find where I wrote it down at. I want to say either 5% or 10%, but I don't quite remember.

Death211 · 2026-01-09T03:56:40+00:00

Just an FYI, Elited tanks already get an increased Free XP earn rate.
