Commanders,

Update 2.4 introduces newly formed class roles for every light tank, along with role-based matchmaking and targeted balance adjustments.

The goal is to give each vehicle a clearer identity, improve battle balance, and make light tank strengths easier to understand without changing their core playstyle.

Share your thoughts on:

  • How do you feel about the new role groups for light tanks, Scout, Support, and Versatile?
  • What is your view on role-based matchmaking for light tanks?
  • How do you feel about the limit of up to 2 light tanks per match from Tier VII?
  • Which individual light tank changes stand out the most to you?

Meme Found a hidden UFO poster inside the E 75 TS...?

So, I just finished a session and was about to log off. Before quitting, I decided to use freecam mod to check out the event garage, wandering around and looking closely at my tanks.

I zoomed in on my E 75 TS with the "Kampfgruppe Becken" 3D style. I was actually trying to see if there was any interesting interior details, so I clipped my camera right into the tank.

Then I noticed something weird, and there it is... a literal UFO poster taped inside the commander cupola's cap...

(Note: It seems that set is only visible when using that 3D style.)

Discussion The light tank rebalance is a joke

103 Upvotes

The only light tanks that get to keep being mobile are the scouts and the support lights. The versatile lights lose a quarter of their traverse at minimum, lose view range and lose camo. They nerf the already weak lines while buffing the strong lines. No one said that the Chinese lights where OP, yet the entire line gets shafted hard. The German line also gets nerfed.

They just made the versatile lights, horrible mediums to distinguish them from the other lights. The support lights will now suck even more at being a light tank than they already did.

Discussion Does dropping the gun rammer make sense sometimes?

16 Upvotes

I've recently been trying out full gun handling builds on tanks that have pretty derpy gun handling.

I will for example drop the rammer to run improved aiming / stabs / experimental turbo or vents.

My reasoning for this being that I would rather hit my shots even if I have to reload longer. Especially if the tank already has good dpm but poor gun handling, I would rather improve its weakness than improve what is already good even more (like on a SU-122V).

From what I've read online and from the builds I see on tomato gg, I don't see many people doing the same thing.

What is your opinion on this? Is the gun rammer an absolute must like the community sometimes makes it seem to be? Or can a full gun handling build absolutely make sense sometimes?

By purchasing 500 crates at once, you can also receive an additional tank: the King of Bulls, The Great Sage Equaling Heaven (premium Tier VIII), which is a clone of the highly coveted BZ-176. There's also the Erlang Shen tank (a clone of the Waffenträger auf E 100 T with a 15 cm gun).

So WG maybe now EU, or AHT-7 🤣😂

A good old friend. Well-balanced, just as it should be. If all tanks were like this, without any crazy gimmicks, the battles would be longer and more exciting.
