Hmm, this is weird... why would you be showing off a tank that won't make it into a patch for a while? We don't know anything about the Jumbo Sherman, M103, T110 or any idea of what the stats of the tier 5 lights are. Not that I don't mind pictures of new tanks, but maybe show us ones that will hit the game before 2012 :-)
BL9=10.5 on the Lowe, so they should be even. PS, it has less armor than the lowe, but at a steeper angle. I would expect them to perform at about the same level. Now we just need to wait for when the T34 becomes a prem, and then you'll have some pretty heavy tier 8 contenders...
LOOK its a russian OP tank of course it will make it in they will have more shit in this game than any other line in it because the devs are russian pricks
why is everyone bitching about more soviet tanks? we have less tanks than the rest of the races since they've each gotten their individual updates, and I've had to wait so damn long for my soviet line updates that I've stopped paying for premium.
All people that whine about soviets are OP tanks are americans. Dont get frustrated beacause 1 game is not about you. The game rules and your tanks suck so get used to it.
oh again dont add new tanks at the game pls,change the gamestyle graphic environment pls look at the video i want to play like this http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-gameplay-red-orchestra/719541
You guys make me sick. There is no russian bias evident in this. The armor is actually rather lame and I'd imagine mobility is average, so all you're left with is a tank slightly worse than the IS-3, which already loses to the King Tiger and T32.
Stop bitching about the SOviet tanks.. The American tanks are way better than they should be just to balance stuff out.. son in the words of Ahnold... STOP WHINING!!!
For people who say this is OP. it is gonna be just like the Lowe. only not as good. Think about it. the Lowe has a gun better than the Tiger 2 with worse armor. this will probably be around the same only with the same gun as the IS-3 and worse armor. so hey no big deal. Premium tanks are easier to kill than normal tanks. (they have become competitive as of late) but they still suffer from S.H.T.T.S (people with low skill driving a high tier tank)
The only thing I have a problem with in this game is the Fog of war. It needs to be removed to make it more realistic. I hate so much that a tank will vanish from sight from 200 to 300 meters away. oh and the American tanks do rock you just have to use different tactics than just barging in with an IS or a Lowe and blowing sh1t up meanwhile having rounds constantly bouncing off your tank..
Q: I can't understand, when this tank Object252, is Premium, so whats the Full TechTree's tier9 soviet HTank? http://statcdn.worldoftanks.eu/comeu_v6/uploads/eu_art/tank_trees/ussr__full_eu.jpg It's same normal and premium? Or what?
"Anonymous said... can we have a properly powered and fear Tiger 1 and 2 instead? they were afterall able to eat T34's for breakfast. yet another Russian Biased tank. :("
You realize that they can, in fact, eat T-34s for breakfast in game too right?
I think more tanks are good, but I would rather see more completion of the full tech trees than another premium tank. I already purchased an expensive premium. I bought the best one that you offered. Now you are offering another one that I probably would like better than the one I have but there is no reason for me to buy it since I already have a money maker.
That being said, and not wanting to come off as being negative, I'm glad to see that the content of this game is steadily increasing. Like I said in my opening sentence, more tanks are good.
SPGS are not, nor have they ever been the problem. The problem is heavy tanks having far more in game impact then they actually should. SPG's are the ONLY thing that keep this from becoming world of heavy tanks.
I don't really think Russian tanks are overpowered. I would say the e-75 is way greater beast than eg. is-4. Artillery seems to do same kind of damage... Where's the problem?
The E-75 is hardly greater than the IS-4. And this new Russian Tier 8 will be even better than the Lowe. If it gets the BL-9, with the penetration and damage it has now, will be a far greater credit earner then the Lowe.
Also, still waiting on the M103. You know, the part of any nation's tank tree at the tier that actually requires attention?
Saw someone on here say something about the Russian tank having a better gun that it had in real life. The King Tiger only used the 88mm. Though longer and more powerful than the Tiger VI, it's still an 88mm, not the 105mm they give it in the game. They do all of this to balance stuff out. Because if they only made tanks that were actually around and made in WW2, the Tigers would rule. They had a goddamn kill ratio of 12:1. The only bad thing about em was rushed production and they were time consuming to make, which led to them breaking down a lot because they didn't have time to thoroughly test the design for flaws.
I sure hope you devs are putting focus on getting the M103 into the next patch with or without the T110. I get the feeling that if its going to take till the end of the year to get it you're going to lose a lot of players (including me) to the new upcomming games such as BF3, RO2 etc...
I'm so tired of people complaing about soviet tanks, suck it up and play. Of course they are overpowered when you go up against an is7 in a tier 5, Its just the WoT foodchain so live with it. The only way these ignorant complainers will be happy is if they drive a maus against a whole team of ms-1's. So please stop spamming good blog discussions because you got killed by another tank that happened to be russian, i bet you get killed by american and german just as much but your just to ignorant and self centered to admit it. So please be quiet and let the devs do their job
Well T34 is above IS-4, but its 0,9% and 3 avg exp...so it is less or more the same...I think that people should whine about Germany instead, both their tanks are better then the rest :-)
Only skilled players stay with German tree. The unskilled ones leave after they recognize how tough they are to play. Don't come with stupid excuse of win ratio! Everybody knows a lot weak players go for Russian, so that is dropping the win ratio by a huge margin. The comparison IS4 and t34 is a joke. T34 is one of the tanks where you really need skills, but the IS4 is OP easy mode. What an idiot.
@"Only skilled players stay with German tree. The unskilled ones leave after they recognize how tough they are to play"
That's why over 60% of players play German, right? Because more than 60% of the players are really skilled. Now, i've been playing WoT long enough to know that's not true at all.
You're not the brightest eh? Of course they're going to track high right now as many people didn't learn how to deal with them, where their weakspots are, and so on. Just like how the T-95 plummeted, these will as well as there are some major flaws in their design as per WG's usual russian bias.
OMG!!! another OP Russian tank!?!?! ZORG!!!! I want more US TANKS!!! T1 & M6 SUCK!!! Replace those tanks and give me an M41 Bulldog and an M26E2 Super Pershing instead!!!
IS-4 is easy mode, everyone knows it. US and German tanks do require far more skill. I'm guessing this tank will be their replacement for the Lowe, to get everyone to buy one, giving them another cash infusion just like when the Lowe came out. Unfortunately for them, at this point, if they came out with the goddamn Millenium Falcon as a tank, I wouldn't spend a dime on it XD
Hey Overlord! Thanks for posting again same pictures that are we could seen a month ago on another site and not telling anything what people may actually want to know!
The KV-5 is now the better money maker. It's cheaper to afford, it does not face T10 tanks therefor increasing it's chances for survival and to achieve a win.
The Löwe is more and more facing T9-10, reducing it's moneymaking ability by more facing stronger opponents and it's winning chances are less. Also the maintenance cost are higher.
The IS-6 will outperform the Löwe and they will find a lousy excuse to make it cheaper in Gold than the Löwe.
The Lowe makes more money -because of it's gun and the tanks it faces-. It is, has been, and always will be on average a better credit earner then a KV-5.
Mathematically yes, but unfortunately your opponents shoot back, so in reality absolutely no.
It's not, because it dies much faster than the KV-5, thanks to facing 4-6 T9/10 tanks in one match now. Also your win/loss ratio will get very bad. Enemies of lower tier are a safer income and a better win chance.
Overlord will Wargaming be demo'ing WoT at the Eurogamer expo in London. You are listed as supporting the show but not as having the game playable on the floor.
The IS-6 is a tier 8 heavy with total shit armor and hasn't been released yet, yet people are complaining about "ZOMG RUSSIAN BIAS" already.
Let me tell you a thing or two about "OP Russian tanks"
Its not a rule. A rule that consists almost entirely of exceptions is not a rule at all. The KV-3 and IS-4 are the only two can really be called OP to any serious extent.
Take a look at the T-44 for example. If you're in a Panther II or a Pershing, and you're having trouble with enemy T-44's, its not the biased Russian devs who are the problem. It's you. The entire Soviet medium tank tree up until the T-54 is completely mediocre. The T-54 is itself easily the most overrated tank in the entire game. I previously said the IS-4 was. I retract such statement. The T-54 definitely has it beat as being over hyped. If you're in an E-50 or Patton and you're having trouble with enemy T-54's the problem, again, is [probably] you.
Anyway, the Soviet TD's are completely on par with their opponents, the Jagdpanzer IV is just shit and the Jagdtiger has serious issues. The KV-2 is itself completely overrated and is rather easily destroyed by any other [non-premium] tier 5 in the entire game. The IS is clumsy as fuck, and the IS-3 and IS-7 are too poorly protected to be OP.
Oh and LMAO at the person claiming the KV-5 to be an example of bias.
Nice I like it ... Good job devs u have a good game goin! .. I used to think it was biased till I got my Russian IS that make no money at all by the way... It is all about the players and every tree has it's downside and ups so all u whienners shut up this is an awesome free game! And this tank will just make it better! Can't wait give it to me now!
SO... Germans got Lowe, which one is better than KV-5. Soviets need a new good premium vehicle to be competitive with other nations in this segment. It is so important that American tech tree is forgotten.

Yeah, tell that to your dentist, dickhead. You won't make money with a Tiger, either. Now even the Löwe sux in earning money, thanks for this lousy matchmaking. KV now earns more money a lot easier.
Overlord...i can't understand something...who will get this tank? Owners of IS-4's or you will need to buy it? I got IS-4 ONLY for IS-6...it would nice to let players chose what tank they want: IS-6 or ...the other tier 9 who will be put instead of IS-6.
"Yeah, tell that to your dentist, dickhead. You won't make money with a Tiger, either. Now even the Löwe sux in earning money, thanks for this lousy matchmaking. KV now earns more money a lot easier. "
^ Yea .. KV, KV that got shafted in tier 8-9 battles 70% of games, you do know that don't you :).
I have an IS4 and E75. The IS4 is way better, why? E75 sucks big time if the enemy team has arty. You get one shot by tier 7 arty way too often. In brawl you get shot in the mudguards. I don't believe the stats WG is releasing to protect the OP Russian tanks.
Its scheduled grand celebrations dedicated to the 67th Anniversary of Slovak National Uprising for the 29 August? To commemorate this major resistance event World of Tanks team can be announces Slovak National Uprising Special discounting prices for the following vehicles 50%:
Pz. 35t Pz. 38t Pz. 38NA T-15 T-25 Hetzer
In addition, you can increasing the profitability (credit income) for the tanks above by 100%.
Why Lowe got 120mm front hull in wot since it has 140mm in real?
Looks like WG is creatong another russian OP tank with same armor as Lowe, but with big chance to bounce, better mobility, turning and gun. Premium tanks should have 10cm gun max.
You've already posted screenshots of the IS-6. Can't you show us something like the M103, which is supposedly finished now? Or maybe more of the sherman jumbo, which is actually getting added in the next patch, unlike the IS-6
"Q: Overlord,will IS-4's owners receive this tank?
A: Nope, why should they? :))) "
Why should they???
Because you guys saids so!!!
Look at this:
• IS-4 will be substituted for Object 252.
Players who have an IS-4 in their garage at the time of the revision will get an IS-4 in its new status with old crew, plus they will also get an Object 252 with 100% crew with an extra garage slot. Undistributed experience will remain on Object 252, however can be transferred to a new IS-4 on demand
Are you devs planning on doing anything about the number of arties per game or maybe make them harder to play? At higher tiers (9-10) you're lucky if you get 1/5 games that have less then 5 tier 7+8 arties on EACH team. Those artypartygames really make me and others not wanting to get in to our highest tiers to play, cause every game is decided by the arties and there's no way of countering them and their mad accuracy.. Whenever i drive my Maus i find myself scooting to the first building/mountain I can safely get to, only to remain there for the full duration of the game doing nothing because peaking out from your corner is certain death! This is not contributing in any way to a fun and interesting gameplay and should be looked at!
Any response on this matter would be greatly appriciated!
"RELAX! The devs found out that the IS6/Obj262 isn't good enough to be the new IS4.
Thats why you won't get a Is6 but the much better IS8/T10 tank when the restructuring of the Russian heavy trees comes.
The now unused but already modeled IS6 becomes a premium.
That's it, no loss on your side ;)"
Yes but i would like to get that IS-6 for money-maker...it's a little hard to play with standard account with 2 tier 9's(IS-4 and Patoon)...and im bored of kv after 600 battles O_______O
even if this is true only skilled players play german tanks and the ones who ragequit the german line move on to the russian line, so every idiot without skill plays russian tanks its a fact. and the T34 is just freaking bad i can kill them with my VK 3001 P even the underpowered short 8,8 can pen. the T34
So Overlord, could you please corret this accordingly: Players who have an IS-4 in their garage at the time of the revision will get an IS-4 in its new status with old crew, plus they will also get an Object 252 with 100% crew with an extra garage slot. Undistributed experience will remain on Object 252, however can be transferred to a new IS-4 on demand. No additional refunds are planned.
Will it inly be change Obj 252 -> T-10 or will the rest of this announement be changed, too?

Undistributed experience will remain on Object 252, however can be transferred to a new IS-4 on demand. So an IS4 owner will get both tanks right ?
Overlord, I have researched the is7 today, but i dont have it on the garage (money hehe), when you make the changes, Is my tank will still be investigated?. Same for the is4 and the KVs, i dont have they on the garage but, will i receive the new replacement tanks?
"oh, and nerf e75s front armour, my bl10 bounces more on that then vk45p " Oh you can't penetrate the E-75 front with that op bl-10 and you want nerf..... I can penetrate the E-75 lower hull with 88 L/71.
But if they nerf the E-75 they should nerf the following tanks: KV the most OP tank in the game in his tier. KV-3, IS-4, OPject 704,T-54 is op too.
Win ratio is the worst possible way of determining strength, unless you are counting a team made entirely of that tank and fighting a team made entirely of the tank you want to compare it to, and then randomly place players in the two teams a few hundred times. At that point the strength of the tank may show through. Bad teams=bad ratios period end of story. One tank is not going to make the difference in 90% of the fights.
You gotta be f..king kidding me. You Are Giving A RUSSIAN Tank Of TIER 8 A Tier 10 Gun? AGAIN? Stop Favoring the bloody russian tanks. How are we supposed to play if there is evidently No balance in this game? I like my American tanks but if you'll keep creating new tanks the way you create them then I'll have difficulties with being accepted to a clan, because every1 is going to be requesting Russian tanks only.
Overlord, why is the price of IS-6 is 15000 gold higher than the Lowe? Whats the big difference between those two tanks? So assume that IS-6 is better than Lowe?
Well, it is a bit annoyingly frustrating to see pics of the object 252. It is a premium tank that should really not be a priority while we are all asking for pics and news about M103 and T110 which are supposed to replace under perfoming tanks. I think that you merely do not have any news to feed us with, as I do no think that you, Overlord, only answer to questions you like (well you do :p but not in order to frustrate players!). But I have thus one question : why is there so few infos about those 2 heavies, which are so badly wanted/needed ? Why developers do not give you anything to show us seeing how waited those tanks are?
Why did WG implemented a left over HP of 1% when using APCR shells, it happens a lot since last patch. Before it was rare now it happens a couple of times a match? Do you guys really think players don't get it? Your secret manipulation?
E75 is a piece of crap, if the other team has arty. By now every arty player knows about the weakness and on open maps the E75 go down like flies. I rather have an IS4 on my team.
A good money politic from WG. Tehy shipping out this tank, the poor idiot player will buy the IS6 and after a few months the developers will nerf this tank to just as Löwe. Of course tehy dont mentoning that tank values are changing, and they shipping out another premium tank. Truly you guys from WG are disgusting.....
German tanks get released with major flaws. Russian tanks get released OP. That's how it is since closed beta nothing changed. Only now they defend it more with weird statistics, that's all.
Overlord posted something interesting in the EU questions and answers forum:
Question: Can you please publish a development roadmap, or even just the plan for next few (or even just the very next 6.7) patches? I just wonder which tank trees will be affected so I can decide what to focus on.
Answer: It will be published, working on it at present.
When? Its not fair that one nation has no heavy premium, and other has two.
And thank you for making us KV5 owners idiots for the second time...
It is obvious that the guy who was ranting how KV5 is better money maker then Lowe has neither of the two. Or has Lowe and doesn't know how to play it. Fact is that KV5 has sub par gun for its tier and weaker front armor than Lowe. Its (R2D2) easily penetrated by Panzer IV. Tested it personally. So much about "survivability"...
Yup all this mentioned above, imbalances that are too much, secret changes, delivering tanks with flaws, again only one nation of course, makes me retire. I'll play only tourneys and clan games, no more PUGs. Waste of time. I had lately too many games where I got into heavily outclassed matches. Other team 3 tier 8 arty and ours 2 tier 7 and 1 tier 6 and 1 tier 5. I have a feeling they reintroduced the platoon handicap or a handicap on players with a high winratio. So long guys, I'll wait until clan members let me know it's back to normal.
I grinded my way to T34 recently. You should be ashamed of yourself... It is the only tank with stats worse than its predecessor. In fact, it is almost exactly the same as tier VII T29. I need to grind 110000 exp to get at least better gun. Person who put it as tier IX should have been fired on the spot, and you should be busting your balls to replace it as soon as possible. Shame on you!
To above. Plz don't say it so loud. Now more morons will chose Russian, lower therefor the overall win ratio and Russian tanks get buffed. Lol, somehow a hidious cycle.
**** I did it simultaneously, and when I got stock IS4 it was slow and I had IS3 gun, so it wasn't roses immediately, but at least the superior armor was there. And now with killer gun and new engine in my IS4 I'm king of the battlefield, and in my T34 I'm scared if tier V tanks spot my glass hull. Hell, I'm scared to fire the gun because my hull could shatter... :)
I play all trees since closed beta. Russians=easy mode (rare bad tanks), American=medium (ups and downs through grind). German=challenge (only a few good tanks and hard grind). Russian again easiest grind, best alpha in general, on distance German precise guns ricochet a lot, due to lack of penetration on distance. Russian best brawlers and faster most of the time. German tanks are slow and big easy arty bait. Camo value of Russian tanks top secret. Higher XP with Russian tanks.
Overlord, seriously, please double check on things before you write. There have been numerous times now where you gave us the wrong info. This is just another example now with the BL-9/D10T fiasco. Look how everyone's up in arms over this because of that info.
Only players with Russian tanks say they are not OP. They try to hide that they suck and chose the easy butto. They are also worried about nerfs. Don't worry they don't nerf your OP babies. They want that losers like you keep playing, lol

you play since closed beta and you still dont know how to play ? terrible
"you play since closed beta and you still dont know how to play ? terrible" That's from a player who only knows how to play OP tanks, lol. That's terrible. Check at the hall of fame which tanks rake in most average XP. Lol guess what it's Russian tanks. Loser.
I agree, yes you can hide behind the argument every nation has it's pro and cons. But the reality is the Russian tree has a lot little benefits. I have a better win ratio and better XP ratio on my Russian tanks. They could change the bonus of XP for close combat, but they won't. So it's easy to say they are bias. Same with the sniper medal, this would be a medal made for German tankers. Long range hits, but it's funny this medal is easier to achive during a brawl, since there is no min distance required to get this medal. You can add up the list and go and on. What annoys me more, is actually people who take the easy way denying it. It's all the little stuff that adds up. I don't care, just don't like the lies.
@ Overlord. What tank is going to be T 9 in sted of object 252 (IS 6) (the ussr tree seys that object 252 is front of IS 7 but what tank will replace it)?
The DT30 must have better penetration than the DT25 cuz that sort of penetration is a pain in tier8+ matches. It should have similar penetration to what the löwe has, which would give you a BL9 with less damage, a bit less penetration and a lot more precision, so to put the BL9 on the IS-6 would just be fair compared to the löwe.
And for the record I hate to play the KV-3. IT is hard to use against tier 7, and it is mathced in tier10 to tier 8 matches a lot more than tier 7 and 6. You can say that the KV is OP in it's tier, but it never plays in tier 5 matches anymore... I find myself using HE all the time in KV and KV-3 simply because I'll always end up in high tier matches (against löwe) and tanks I cannot penetrate (and they one-shot me).
I would use the löwe gun all the way to Tier 10 on any tank if I could. The sluggish accuracy of the Soviet guns is reason enough..
I only play soviet tanks by the way. up to tier 6 heavy and tier 7 mediums. I must be one of the noob players btw since i play soviet tanks and find tanks like the panther, panther II, löwe etc very hard to face because of their very nice guns and that they are hard to penetrate.. So don't pay any attention to what I've written. ;-P
The only tank I really felt that I was on top in was the BT-2 and the T-34, but this has changed for the T-34. Now it is just used as 1-shot target practice for high-tier tanks..
Lol the player above is funny, he is so spoiled sitting in his Russian tanks, that he is complaining about German tanks in higher tiers than he owns. That just shows how spoiled Russian tankers are. That was honest, I like it.
nah.. panther is tier 7 medium like my KV-13.. ,-P
I have to complain because it's pointless to be the best tier 5 in the universe if you only play against tier 8+. An for the "playing against higher tiers" I find myself rather playing against soviet tanks than the mentioned germans. But that must be their ever so superior skills of course. On the US side I only fear the T29 really.. and the pershing is a pain.. (but thats tier 8 and i'm only tier 7, so i ought to be ass-raped by it...)
Tanks i would like to have played (since i don't like to face them) are P4, Vk3601, löwe, panther and T-54. I don't look forward to t-43 and T-44 since they have the same low-penetration IDIOT that i used on the T-34-85.. The reason why i'd like the german tanks might be because i'd rather have high penetration than high damage. (panther T8 gun). Hmm looks like the tier 7 panther has a tier 8 gun, whilst tier 6, 7 and 8 soviet mediums only have a tier 7 gun with 175 penetration... hmmmm must be OP som other way then..
A simple question that has more traits to the US tanks Overlord.
Could you make your team correct the commander cuppola on the T29, T34 and T30 being corrected to their REAL versions.
Actualy what we have in game is a very wrong designed top turret. The commander cuppola is sticking out by some 20cm+ than it was in real.
A good source of information is Firepower A History Of The American Heavy Tank by R.P Hunnicutt. ISBN: 0891413049
The profile you find in that book clearly show that for the T29, the T34 and T30 the commander cuppola was not sticking out of the turret so much.
Only on some prototype of the T30E1 had a specific High profile commander cuppola.
That change would be much appreciated as it would be more accurate historicaly and limit the size of that weakness. Especialy as it was not realy a weakness historicaly speaking.
I have a T-54, Panther II, IS-4 and T30. The Russian tanks are way OP. T-54 is such an easy tank to play. T30 sucks so bad, almost as bad as the T34 after the update. You really need to stop working on stupid premium tanks and get the American line fixed.
Also worse off, this game is completely unplayable unless you have a premium account at Tier 9/10 levels. I lose money with standard account and I'm ranked in the to 3000 and have 175 snipers. I can't buy my IS-7 because I cannot afford it! Seriously double your credit multiplier on ALL tanks or you'll eventually piss off too many people and we'll all quit. I'm not buying premium again until it's fixed.
I bought a T-25 and it was totaly waste of gold. Totaly useless tank, any improve of gold or exp income.I'm totaly disappointed. And what about 105mm ammo for german tanks? Why russians 107mm cost 254 and germany 105mm more than 1000!?
Please fix this two issues. Now isn't reason for buy preemium tanks, because any profatibility isn't there. And about germany top cannon, now is better to buy 88mm, because player can be in + with money, with 105 it is not possiblee even with premium accounts
Overloard question when the T30 move to Tier IX TD happens will it still be elited out or will it have the canon and turret upgrades it did to research that where done in real life that made it the T58 Tank please say u will it would be awesome
Everyone complaining about Soviet bias and all that jazz is pretty foolish and I would bargain they were mentally retarded.
Anyway, this looks pretty cool. Nothing I'm interested in investing in, since I have the T34 and the Lowe, but it should be nice to see a different premium on the battlefield that can actually do something. I expect that when it comes out, everyone will be crying that it's OP and that there's Soviet bias, blah blah blah. I think it's fine. From paper stats, it should perform similar to the Lowe, as someone stated earlier, and it should be a fairly easy tank to engage. Provided it's not super fast, it won't make the Lowe obsolete unless it's price tag is far, far, far under the Lowe. If it's 7,500 G, then you'll a HUGE amount of these on the battlefield, since it's cheaper. This does unfortunately make the KV-5 completely and utterly useless now.
That happens with premium content, oh well, just give me my damn M103/T110 :C
A: With 99% probability - D-30. August 26, 2011 2:03 PM
---------
Dear Overlord, you really confuse me. You said "PS: It's BL-9 gun." after the picture, and the last picture surely looks like a BL-9 gun on IS-6. But you also said 99% D-30 gun on IS-6 above.....totally confuse. Which one is correct? If D-30 is correct, why you said it's BL-9 gun at the begining and why that picture with BL-9 gun is here?
Since the Object 252 is now being released as a Tier 8 Premium tank, what will be the new tank to take the IS-4's Tier 9 slot when it is converted to Tier 10? AND, When will a revised tech tree image be released to match?
Anonymous said... what WILL be the new tier 9 to replace the Is-4 and IS-6/Object 252?
The IS-10 will be the new Tier 9. It's basically an up-armored IS-3.
Don't be fooled by the name - while the number is higher, that doesn't mean it's the more advanced tank. The IS-10 could be considered a "cousin", rather than a "successor" to the IS-4.
But yes, I agree that this tank isn't the tank we should be getting information on. We should be learning more about tanks that players really care about, like the Jumbo Sherman, US Heavies, and to an extent, French tanks.
Yeah of course premium tank... Looks like you really need more money, eh WG ?? Do something about the game because its dying... Just take 5 mins and check forum and you'll see how many angry and disappointed players are out there...
more soviet tanks? are they going to be impenetrable fortresses too?
ReplyDeleteHm, its gonna bounce a lot i see...stil BL9, hm, soviet bias again, OP soviet tanks again..mind as well give it S70.
ReplyDeleteBL-9 huh?
ReplyDeleteWell, that's probably not a bad bargain, it's more accurate than most other heavy Soviet guns.
I'll take it.
overlord will IS6 repleace KV5 ? or soviet would have 2 8 tier premium tanks?
ReplyDeleteWhen? I am about to get enough money for the KV 5 but I will hold for this one. Just need to know when it's going to be released. Please...
ReplyDeleteis that a jumbo inbetween? :X heard it will come
ReplyDeleteIS-6/Object252 not premium tank
ReplyDeleteA bit interesting when the "IS-6" is in lower tier than IS-4 (at full tech tree)
There is no release date yet, and you all with the soviet bias nonsense are just full of lulz.
ReplyDeleteHmm, this is weird... why would you be showing off a tank that won't make it into a patch for a while? We don't know anything about the Jumbo Sherman, M103, T110 or any idea of what the stats of the tier 5 lights are. Not that I don't mind pictures of new tanks, but maybe show us ones that will hit the game before 2012 :-)
ReplyDeleteoh, sorry
ReplyDeletewill this new OP russian tank have the same credit making abilities that the other gold tanks USED TO HAVE untill you RAISED THE PRICE and then NERFED
ReplyDeleteHad the Is 6 2 kinds of cannons?
ReplyDeleteThe cannon in the last picture has an other end as the others.^^
BL9=10.5 on the Lowe, so they should be even.
ReplyDeletePS, it has less armor than the lowe, but at a steeper angle. I would expect them to perform at about the same level. Now we just need to wait for when the T34 becomes a prem, and then you'll have some pretty heavy tier 8 contenders...
Looks pretty nice, any rough idea of a price range?
ReplyDeletenice armor,nice gun,price should be 15000gold
ReplyDeleteLOOK its a russian OP tank of course it will make it in they will have more shit in this game than any other line in it because the devs are russian pricks
ReplyDeletewhy is everyone bitching about more soviet tanks? we have less tanks than the rest of the races since they've each gotten their individual updates, and I've had to wait so damn long for my soviet line updates that I've stopped paying for premium.
ReplyDeleteI wish a a MEDIUM TANK, tier 8 with good ablities as a premium tank. Thx! Heavy tanks are boring.
ReplyDeleteGreetz

All people that whine about soviets are OP tanks are americans. Dont get frustrated beacause 1 game is not about you. The game rules and your tanks suck so get used to it.
ReplyDeleteoh and the hating starts.... lol
ReplyDeletereminder that event though it is russian you dont have to grind for it ANYONE can get it.
I'll buy one. Looks cool. Better looking than the Lowe.
ReplyDeleteno love for the americans
ReplyDeleteI am not American, and Russian tanks are OP.
ReplyDeleteDoes it mean that idea from full tech tree below gone?

ReplyDeletehttp://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-gameplay-red-orchestra/719541
Już widzę główny słaby punkt:P, a ogólnie jestem przeciwny czołgom premium!
ReplyDeleteYou guys make me sick. There is no russian bias evident in this. The armor is actually rather lame and I'd imagine mobility is average, so all you're left with is a tank slightly worse than the IS-3, which already loses to the King Tiger and T32.
ReplyDeleteThought this was gonna be a normal credit purchased Tank that was replacing the IS4 in Tier 9 ?
ReplyDeleteLook at all the scrubs hating
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the tech tree is more of a guide as to where the Dev's are headed.
ReplyDeleteWhen they get a new idea (good or bad depending on how you look at it) they try to incorporate it in the game.
Overall I enjoy the game, although there are a few other things I would like to see changed/fixed.
looks pretty nice, but where is the tier 8 USA heavy premium?
ReplyDeletethis tank, maybe the next warrior.XD
ReplyDeletePrice?
ReplyDeleteStop bitching about the SOviet tanks.. The American tanks are way better than they should be just to balance stuff out.. son in the words of Ahnold... STOP WHINING!!!
ReplyDeleteSo the IS-6 will have a better gun than IRL. Than you should increase the Löwe front to 140mm according to IRL stat
ReplyDeletehttp://ww2drawings.jexiste.fr/Files/1-Vehicles/Axis/1-Germany/03-sPanzers/PzKpfw7-Lowe/PzKpfw7-Schwere.htm
this will be high priced like the Lowe is now?
ReplyDeleteJust fix and balance overpowered SPGs instead of new content...
ReplyDeletePremium tanks are ridiculous I cant believe how many people are willing to drop 30 bucks on a Lowe. They cost more then a full-on DLC for most games.
ReplyDeleteI am not American either, Soviet tanks are OP.
ReplyDeleteFor people who say this is OP. it is gonna be just like the Lowe. only not as good. Think about it. the Lowe has a gun better than the Tiger 2 with worse armor. this will probably be around the same only with the same gun as the IS-3 and worse armor. so hey no big deal. Premium tanks are easier to kill than normal tanks. (they have become competitive as of late) but they still suffer from S.H.T.T.S (people with low skill driving a high tier tank)
ReplyDeleteThen there is some model fuck-up. Bl-9 is only in the last screen, others have the 122mm IS-2 gun.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I have a problem with in this game is the Fog of war. It needs to be removed to make it more realistic. I hate so much that a tank will vanish from sight from 200 to 300 meters away. oh and the American tanks do rock you just have to use different tactics than just barging in with an IS or a Lowe and blowing sh1t up meanwhile having rounds constantly bouncing off your tank..
ReplyDeleteBL-9?
ReplyDeletewasn´t it supposed to be the D-30T (a D-25T with higher RoF)?
The Bl-9 is a 122mm... That is whats on my Is-3
ReplyDeleteQ: I can't understand, when this tank Object252, is Premium, so whats the Full TechTree's tier9 soviet HTank?
ReplyDeletehttp://statcdn.worldoftanks.eu/comeu_v6/uploads/eu_art/tank_trees/ussr__full_eu.jpg

You realize that they can, in fact, eat T-34s for breakfast in game too right?
I think more tanks are good, but I would rather see more completion of the full tech trees than another premium tank. I already purchased an expensive premium. I bought the best one that you offered. Now you are offering another one that I probably would like better than the one I have but there is no reason for me to buy it since I already have a money maker.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, and not wanting to come off as being negative, I'm glad to see that the content of this game is steadily increasing. Like I said in my opening sentence, more tanks are good.

ReplyDelete"Just fix and balance overpowered SPGs instead of new content... "
ReplyDeleteReally? It's not the SPG's blowing me up that is getting boring, it's the single-serving battle type that's wearing thin imo.
http://gankalicious.blogspot.com/2011/08/15-v-15-has-got-to-goand-other-musings.html
SPGS are not, nor have they ever been the problem. The problem is heavy tanks having far more in game impact then they actually should. SPG's are the ONLY thing that keep this from becoming world of heavy tanks.
ReplyDeleteI don't really think Russian tanks are overpowered. I would say the e-75 is way greater beast than eg. is-4. Artillery seems to do same kind of damage... Where's the problem?

www.lol@you.com
The E-75 is hardly greater than the IS-4. And this new Russian Tier 8 will be even better than the Lowe. If it gets the BL-9, with the penetration and damage it has now, will be a far greater credit earner then the Lowe.
ReplyDeleteAlso, still waiting on the M103. You know, the part of any nation's tank tree at the tier that actually requires attention?
Q: did you also change something on the Tiger 2 last patch?
ReplyDeleteSaw someone on here say something about the Russian tank having a better gun that it had in real life. The King Tiger only used the 88mm. Though longer and more powerful than the Tiger VI, it's still an 88mm, not the 105mm they give it in the game. They do all of this to balance stuff out. Because if they only made tanks that were actually around and made in WW2, the Tigers would rule. They had a goddamn kill ratio of 12:1. The only bad thing about em was rushed production and they were time consuming to make, which led to them breaking down a lot because they didn't have time to thoroughly test the design for flaws.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope you devs are putting focus on getting the M103 into the next patch with or without the T110. I get the feeling that if its going to take till the end of the year to get it you're going to lose a lot of players (including me) to the new upcomming games such as BF3, RO2 etc...

The T95 also had a great win percentage when it first came out but that win ratio dropped from what was seen on the latest stat.
Oh, and look at the T34 heavy. Constantly bottom among its peers. Where are its buff? IS-3 got one. So where is the T34's?
Perhaps you should STFU?
T-10 is gonna be the Tier 9 heavy that the 252 was supposed to be.
ReplyDeleteI'm so tired of people complaing about soviet tanks, suck it up and play. Of course they are overpowered when you go up against an is7 in a tier 5, Its just the WoT foodchain so live with it. The only way these ignorant complainers will be happy is if they drive a maus against a whole team of ms-1's. So please stop spamming good blog discussions because you got killed by another tank that happened to be russian, i bet you get killed by american and german just as much but your just to ignorant and self centered to admit it.

IS-4: win rate - 47.6%, avg exp - 452
T-34: win rate - 46.7%, avg exp - 449
Well T34 is above IS-4, but its 0,9% and 3 avg exp...so it is less or more the same...I think that people should whine about Germany instead, both their tanks are better then the rest :-)
It's just another excuse to delay the M103 and T110 that are apperently never coming. I doubt they are even modelled yet....
ReplyDeleteOnly skilled players stay with German tree. The unskilled ones leave after they recognize how tough they are to play. Don't come with stupid excuse of win ratio! Everybody knows a lot weak players go for Russian, so that is dropping the win ratio by a huge margin. The comparison IS4 and t34 is a joke. T34 is one of the tanks where you really need skills, but the IS4 is OP easy mode. What an idiot.
ReplyDelete@"Only skilled players stay with German tree. The unskilled ones leave after they recognize how tough they are to play"
ReplyDeleteThat's why over 60% of players play German, right? Because more than 60% of the players are really skilled. Now, i've been playing WoT long enough to know that's not true at all.

Possible Type 59 stats
IS-4 is easy mode, everyone knows it. US and German tanks do require far more skill. I'm guessing this tank will be their replacement for the Lowe, to get everyone to buy one, giving them another cash infusion just like when the Lowe came out. Unfortunately for them, at this point, if they came out with the goddamn Millenium Falcon as a tank, I wouldn't spend a dime on it XD

The KV-5 is now the better money maker.
It's cheaper to afford, it does not face T10 tanks therefor increasing it's chances for survival and to achieve a win.
The Löwe is more and more facing T9-10, reducing it's moneymaking ability by more facing stronger opponents and it's winning chances are less. Also the maintenance cost are higher.
The IS-6 will outperform the Löwe and they will find a lousy excuse to make it cheaper in Gold than the Löwe.
The Lowe makes more money -because of it's gun and the tanks it faces-. It is, has been, and always will be on average a better credit earner then a KV-5.
ReplyDeleteMathematically yes, but unfortunately your opponents shoot back, so in reality absolutely no.
ReplyDeleteIt's not, because it dies much faster than the KV-5, thanks to facing 4-6 T9/10 tanks in one match now. Also your win/loss ratio will get very bad. Enemies of lower tier are a safer income and a better win chance.
Overlord will Wargaming be demo'ing WoT at the Eurogamer expo in London. You are listed as supporting the show but not as having the game playable on the floor.
ReplyDeletehow much it will cost? like the lowe?
ReplyDeleteThe IS-6 is a tier 8 heavy with total shit armor and hasn't been released yet, yet people are complaining about "ZOMG RUSSIAN BIAS" already.
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you a thing or two about "OP Russian tanks"
Its not a rule. A rule that consists almost entirely of exceptions is not a rule at all. The KV-3 and IS-4 are the only two can really be called OP to any serious extent.
Take a look at the T-44 for example. If you're in a Panther II or a Pershing, and you're having trouble with enemy T-44's, its not the biased Russian devs who are the problem. It's you. The entire Soviet medium tank tree up until the T-54 is completely mediocre. The T-54 is itself easily the most overrated tank in the entire game. I previously said the IS-4 was. I retract such statement. The T-54 definitely has it beat as being over hyped. If you're in an E-50 or Patton and you're having trouble with enemy T-54's the problem, again, is [probably] you.
Anyway, the Soviet TD's are completely on par with their opponents, the Jagdpanzer IV is just shit and the Jagdtiger has serious issues. The KV-2 is itself completely overrated and is rather easily destroyed by any other [non-premium] tier 5 in the entire game. The IS is clumsy as fuck, and the IS-3 and IS-7 are too poorly protected to be OP.
Oh and LMAO at the person claiming the KV-5 to be an example of bias.
+++ for this guy above me
ReplyDeleteWhy are she screenshots always so dark?
ReplyDeleteObj. 252 is not tier 9 ?
ReplyDeletethen which one gonna replace IS-4?
Not like: it looks like a Pz3/4 snuck into bed with an IS-3.
ReplyDeleteOh, I might as well setup direct debit with WoT from my checking account. Take my money, gimme now please
ReplyDeleteTo the guy who said the Loweis the better credit maker then the KV-5: LOL you're crazy.
ReplyDeleteNice I like it ... Good job devs u have a good game goin! .. I used to think it was biased till I got my Russian IS that make no money at all by the way... It is all about the players and every tree has it's downside and ups so all u whienners shut up this is an awesome free game! And this tank will just make it better! Can't wait give it to me now!
ReplyDeleteSO... Germans got Lowe, which one is better than KV-5. Soviets need a new good premium vehicle to be competitive with other nations in this segment. It is so important that American tech tree is forgotten.

Yeah, tell that to your dentist, dickhead.
You won't make money with a Tiger, either.

Hi Overlord,
ReplyDeleteCan you give us an idea of what the armor will be like? e.g. close to the armor of IS-3 or lower?
Thank you!
I have an IS4 and E75. The IS4 is way better, why? E75 sucks big time if the enemy team has arty. You get one shot by tier 7 arty way too often. In brawl you get shot in the mudguards. I don't believe the stats WG is releasing to protect the OP Russian tanks.

ReplyDeleteWhy Lowe got 120mm front hull in wot since it has 140mm in real?
ReplyDeleteLooks like WG is creatong another russian OP tank with same armor as Lowe, but with big chance to bounce, better mobility, turning and gun. Premium tanks should have 10cm gun max.

ReplyDeleteBL9? Why? Soviets not OP enough WG?
ReplyDelete"Q: Overlord,will IS-4's owners receive this tank?
ReplyDeleteA: Nope, why should they? :))) "
Why should they???
Because you guys saids so!!!
Look at this:
• IS-4 will be substituted for Object 252.
Players who have an IS-4 in their garage at the time of the revision will get an IS-4 in its new status with old crew, plus they will also get an Object 252 with 100% crew with an extra garage slot. Undistributed experience will remain on Object 252, however can be transferred to a new IS-4 on demand

The devs found out that the IS6/Obj262 isn't good enough to be the new IS4.
Thats why you won't get a Is6 but the much better IS8/T10 tank when the restructuring of the Russian heavy trees comes.
The now unused but already modeled IS6 becomes a premium.
That's it, no loss on your side ;)

ReplyDeleteTwo questions:
ReplyDelete1) Will it be fun to drive?
2) How much?
Dear Overlord!
ReplyDeleteAre you devs planning on doing anything about the number of arties per game or maybe make them harder to play? At higher tiers (9-10) you're lucky if you get 1/5 games that have less then 5 tier 7+8 arties on EACH team.
Those artypartygames really make me and others not wanting to get in to our highest tiers to play, cause every game is decided by the arties and there's no way of countering them and their mad accuracy..
Whenever i drive my Maus i find myself scooting to the first building/mountain I can safely get to, only to remain there for the full duration of the game doing nothing because peaking out from your corner is certain death!
This is not contributing in any way to a fun and interesting gameplay and should be looked at!
Any response on this matter would be greatly appriciated!

I´ve got KV, KV-3, IS-4, and T-34 on my garage...
ReplyDeleteI work hard to get them because i am not a premium user...
I hope i get the extra slot for those tanks as saids this announcemment:
http://game.worldoftanks.eu/news/full-tech-trees-revised-and-improved
I would like to know when the patch comes to get the extra slots.
Thanks
Kelhas
cool. 1 possibly victim more. ;)
ReplyDeleteOverlord, the russian tech tree revision will come at 2012?? im a bit nervous hehe, i want my is4 tier X and the free slots.
ReplyDeletethx.
'For all who win about russian tanks:
ReplyDeleteE-75: win rate - 50.25%, avg exp - 484
IS-4: win rate - 47.6%, avg exp - 452
T-34: win rate - 46.7%, avg exp - 449
VK 4502P: win rate - 48.2%, avg exp - 455
source Overlord'
even if this is true
only skilled players play german tanks and the ones who ragequit the german line move on to the russian line, so every idiot without skill plays russian tanks its a fact.
and the T34 is just freaking bad i can kill them with my VK 3001 P
even the underpowered short 8,8 can pen. the T34

ReplyDelete^ Yea .. KV, KV that got shafted in tier 8-9 battles 70% of games, you do know that don't you :).

Face 4-6 T9/10 tanks along with the Rest of T7/8 in a Löwe in one match, then we'll see, how much you rofl afterwards.
Lame liar.
IS-4 owners will get T-10. Obj 252 will be a premium tank from scratch.
ReplyDeleteSo Overlord, could you please corret this accordingly:
ReplyDeletePlayers who have an IS-4 in their garage at the time of the revision will get an IS-4 in its new status with old crew, plus they will also get an Object 252 with 100% crew with an extra garage slot. Undistributed experience will remain on Object 252, however can be transferred to a new IS-4 on demand.
No additional refunds are planned.
Will it inly be change Obj 252 -> T-10 or will the rest of this announement be changed, too?

Q: Will it inly be change Obj 252 -> T-10 or will the rest of this announement be changed, too?
ReplyDeleteA: Only Obj 252 -> T-10. The rest is correct.
Q: On IS-6 there will be a gun BL-9 or D30?
ReplyDeleteA: With 99% probability - D-30.
According to the RU forum, the IS-6 will get a D-30 and no BL9 (used google translator).
ReplyDeleteOverlord do you know ( or guessing ) the D-30 approximately penetration?
ReplyDeletewhat shall we count on?
Overlord, I have researched the is7 today, but i dont have it on the garage (money hehe), when you make the changes, Is my tank will still be investigated?. Same for the is4 and the KVs, i dont have they on the garage but, will i receive the new replacement tanks?
ReplyDeleteThx, i hope your answer.
I have the same question of the techt trees :)
ReplyDeleteOMG you give him bl 9 then pu bl9 on the KV 5 thats not fair. KV5 is underpowered with huge weakspots.
ReplyDeletenice tank if it gets bl9.
ReplyDeletemakes me happy i dident get the kv5.
oh, and nerf e75s front armour, my bl10 bounces more on that then vk45p

ReplyDeletePower of the reading:

A: With 99% probability - D-30.
What armor-piercing and the damage will be at a gun d-30?
ReplyDelete175/390?
"oh, and nerf e75s front armour, my bl10 bounces more on that then vk45p "
ReplyDeleteOh you can't penetrate the E-75 front with that op bl-10 and you want nerf..... I can penetrate the E-75 lower hull with 88 L/71.
But if they nerf the E-75 they should nerf the following tanks: KV the most OP tank in the game in his tier. KV-3, IS-4, OPject 704,T-54 is op too.
Win ratio is the worst possible way of determining strength, unless you are counting a team made entirely of that tank and fighting a team made entirely of the tank you want to compare it to, and then randomly place players in the two teams a few hundred times. At that point the strength of the tank may show through. Bad teams=bad ratios period end of story. One tank is not going to make the difference in 90% of the fights.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite response to any of this is..
ReplyDeleteTo Devs: Please nerf Paper, Scissors are fine.
Thanks,
Rock
"PS: It's BL-9 gun."
ReplyDeleteYou gotta be f..king kidding me. You Are Giving A RUSSIAN Tank Of TIER 8 A Tier 10 Gun? AGAIN? Stop Favoring the bloody russian tanks. How are we supposed to play if there is evidently No balance in this game? I like my American tanks but if you'll keep creating new tanks the way you create them then I'll have difficulties with being accepted to a clan, because every1 is going to be requesting Russian tanks only.
>BL-9
ReplyDelete>Tier 10 gun
Uhhh... nice try.
Q: Will US and Ger also got new T8 premium tanks?
ReplyDeleteQ: Will US and Ger also got new T8 premium tanks?

Overlord, why is the price of IS-6 is 15000 gold higher than the Lowe? Whats the big difference between those two tanks? So assume that IS-6 is better than Lowe?
ReplyDeleteQuote: Overlord said...

T34 premium is going to be T8?
It's T9, isn't it?
Snortsch
P.S.:Even a rough timeline for the US heavies would be nice, I'm racing for the T30 right now,would love to know how much time I've got.
Well, it is a bit annoyingly frustrating to see pics of the object 252. It is a premium tank that should really not be a priority while we are all asking for pics and news about M103 and T110 which are supposed to replace under perfoming tanks.
ReplyDeleteI think that you merely do not have any news to feed us with, as I do no think that you, Overlord, only answer to questions you like (well you do :p but not in order to frustrate players!).
But I have thus one question : why is there so few infos about those 2 heavies, which are so badly wanted/needed ?
Why developers do not give you anything to show us seeing how waited those tanks are?
"A: US will get T34."
ReplyDeleteQ: What is the estimated date the T34 will get replaced and become a premium?
Thanks
Overlord, can you specify the date of T110 introduction? For players who are heavily grinding to get T30 its quite vital information.
ReplyDeleteWhy did WG implemented a left over HP of 1% when using APCR shells, it happens a lot since last patch. Before it was rare now it happens a couple of times a match? Do you guys really think players don't get it? Your secret manipulation?
ReplyDeleteE75 is a piece of crap, if the other team has arty. By now every arty player knows about the weakness and on open maps the E75 go down like flies. I rather have an IS4 on my team.
ReplyDeleteDO SOMETHING WITH THAT CRAP 150MM GUN ON THE E100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBL9....yeah sure.
ReplyDeleteSell Löwe and Buy IS-6.
WG.net really knows how 2 make money
A good money politic from WG. Tehy shipping out this tank, the poor idiot player will buy the IS6 and after a few months the developers will nerf this tank to just as Löwe. Of course tehy dont mentoning that tank values are changing, and they shipping out another premium tank. Truly you guys from WG are disgusting.....
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter to me, Russian tank are the easy mode. That's why loser chose them. Do you want to be loser on OP tanks and everybody knows it.
ReplyDeleteGerman tanks get released with major flaws. Russian tanks get released OP. That's how it is since closed beta nothing changed. Only now they defend it more with weird statistics, that's all.
ReplyDeleteOverlord posted something interesting in the EU questions and answers forum:
ReplyDeleteQuestion:
Can you please publish a development roadmap, or even just the plan for next few (or even just the very next 6.7) patches? I just wonder which tank trees will be affected so I can decide what to focus on.
Answer:
It will be published, working on it at present.
Overlord said...
ReplyDeleteQ: Will US and Ger also got new T8 premium tanks?

When?
Its not fair that one nation has no heavy premium, and other has two.
And thank you for making us KV5 owners idiots for the second time...
It is obvious that the guy who was ranting how KV5 is better money maker then Lowe has neither of the two. Or has Lowe and doesn't know how to play it.
Fact is that KV5 has sub par gun for its tier and weaker front armor than Lowe. Its (R2D2) easily penetrated by Panzer IV. Tested it personally.
So much about "survivability"...
Yup all this mentioned above, imbalances that are too much, secret changes, delivering tanks with flaws, again only one nation of course, makes me retire. I'll play only tourneys and clan games, no more PUGs. Waste of time. I had lately too many games where I got into heavily outclassed matches. Other team 3 tier 8 arty and ours 2 tier 7 and 1 tier 6 and 1 tier 5. I have a feeling they reintroduced the platoon handicap or a handicap on players with a high winratio. So long guys, I'll wait until clan members let me know it's back to normal.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing, you people have no priorities!, must be a russian thing...
ReplyDeleteNice so the 30€ I spent on the KV5 should be given as credit towards buying this new tank.
ReplyDeleteSelling us a sub par tank only have us spend more doe re mi on another is a bit shady at the least.
Why cant people learn to play! (L2P)
ReplyDeleteRussian tanks are Not OP, they however, suck.. I even laugh when I see a IS-4, sooo overrated!
And im shocked over how few have heard T-10 will be there instead of obj.252, dont any of ya pay attention? :O
t34 is the new american premium?
ReplyDeleteso let me gues this one...
the t30 turret with the 105mm gun? -> biggest joke t8 ever unless u up the armour by freaking loads
Q. any clue on the is4 switch date?
ReplyDeleteI grinded my way to T34 recently. You should be ashamed of yourself... It is the only tank with stats worse than its predecessor. In fact, it is almost exactly the same as tier VII T29. I need to grind 110000 exp to get at least better gun.
ReplyDeletePerson who put it as tier IX should have been fired on the spot, and you should be busting your balls to replace it as soon as possible.
Shame on you!
If you want an easy grind go for Russian tanks.
ReplyDeleteCan Overlord answer us?? IS6 replace KV5 or no? 2x tier8?
ReplyDeleteMANY THANKS
To above. Plz don't say it so loud. Now more morons will chose Russian, lower therefor the overall win ratio and Russian tanks get buffed. Lol, somehow a hidious cycle.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous said...
ReplyDeleteIf you want an easy grind go for Russian tanks.
****
I did it simultaneously, and when I got stock IS4 it was slow and I had IS3 gun, so it wasn't roses immediately, but at least the superior armor was there.
And now with killer gun and new engine in my IS4 I'm king of the battlefield, and in my T34 I'm scared if tier V tanks spot my glass hull. Hell, I'm scared to fire the gun because my hull could shatter... :)
I play all trees since closed beta. Russians=easy mode (rare bad tanks), American=medium (ups and downs through grind). German=challenge (only a few good tanks and hard grind). Russian again easiest grind, best alpha in general, on distance German precise guns ricochet a lot, due to lack of penetration on distance. Russian best brawlers and faster most of the time. German tanks are slow and big easy arty bait. Camo value of Russian tanks top secret. Higher XP with Russian tanks.
ReplyDeleteOverlord, seriously, please double check on things before you write. There have been numerous times now where you gave us the wrong info. This is just another example now with the BL-9/D10T fiasco. Look how everyone's up in arms over this because of that info.
ReplyDeleteOnly players with Russian tanks say they are not OP. They try to hide that they suck and chose the easy butto. They are also worried about nerfs. Don't worry they don't nerf your OP babies. They want that losers like you keep playing, lol

you play since closed beta and you still dont know how to play ? terrible
do you know when testserver back so we can test this
ReplyDeleteHi Overlord,
ReplyDeleteTank looks sweet can you please add the ability when this tank is released to either choose this or keep the KV-5 for KV owners.
Cause i rather change to this tank instead of keeping the KV-5
"you play since closed beta and you still dont know how to play ? terrible"
ReplyDeleteThat's from a player who only knows how to play OP tanks, lol. That's terrible.
Check at the hall of fame which tanks rake in most average XP. Lol guess what it's Russian tanks. Loser.
I agree, yes you can hide behind the argument every nation has it's pro and cons. But the reality is the Russian tree has a lot little benefits. I have a better win ratio and better XP ratio on my Russian tanks. They could change the bonus of XP for close combat, but they won't. So it's easy to say they are bias. Same with the sniper medal, this would be a medal made for German tankers. Long range hits, but it's funny this medal is easier to achive during a brawl, since there is no min distance required to get this medal. You can add up the list and go and on. What annoys me more, is actually people who take the easy way denying it. It's all the little stuff that adds up. I don't care, just don't like the lies.
ReplyDelete@ Overlord.
ReplyDeleteWhat tank is going to be T 9 in sted of object 252 (IS 6) (the ussr tree seys that object 252 is front of IS 7 but what tank will replace it)?
The DT30 must have better penetration than the DT25 cuz that sort of penetration is a pain in tier8+ matches. It should have similar penetration to what the löwe has, which would give you a BL9 with less damage, a bit less penetration and a lot more precision, so to put the BL9 on the IS-6 would just be fair compared to the löwe.
ReplyDeleteAnd for the record I hate to play the KV-3. IT is hard to use against tier 7, and it is mathced in tier10 to tier 8 matches a lot more than tier 7 and 6. You can say that the KV is OP in it's tier, but it never plays in tier 5 matches anymore... I find myself using HE all the time in KV and KV-3 simply because I'll always end up in high tier matches (against löwe) and tanks I cannot penetrate (and they one-shot me).
I would use the löwe gun all the way to Tier 10 on any tank if I could. The sluggish accuracy of the Soviet guns is reason enough..
I only play soviet tanks by the way. up to tier 6 heavy and tier 7 mediums. I must be one of the noob players btw since i play soviet tanks and find tanks like the panther, panther II, löwe etc very hard to face because of their very nice guns and that they are hard to penetrate.. So don't pay any attention to what I've written. ;-P
The only tank I really felt that I was on top in was the BT-2 and the T-34, but this has changed for the T-34. Now it is just used as 1-shot target practice for high-tier tanks..
my 2 cents..
Lol the player above is funny, he is so spoiled sitting in his Russian tanks, that he is complaining about German tanks in higher tiers than he owns. That just shows how spoiled Russian tankers are. That was honest, I like it.
ReplyDeletenah.. panther is tier 7 medium like my KV-13.. ,-P
ReplyDeleteI have to complain because it's pointless to be the best tier 5 in the universe if you only play against tier 8+. An for the "playing against higher tiers" I find myself rather playing against soviet tanks than the mentioned germans. But that must be their ever so superior skills of course. On the US side I only fear the T29 really.. and the pershing is a pain.. (but thats tier 8 and i'm only tier 7, so i ought to be ass-raped by it...)
Tanks i would like to have played (since i don't like to face them) are P4, Vk3601, löwe, panther and T-54. I don't look forward to t-43 and T-44 since they have the same low-penetration IDIOT that i used on the T-34-85..
The reason why i'd like the german tanks might be because i'd rather have high penetration than high damage. (panther T8 gun). Hmm looks like the tier 7 panther has a tier 8 gun, whilst tier 6, 7 and 8 soviet mediums only have a tier 7 gun with 175 penetration... hmmmm must be OP som other way then..
A simple question that has more traits to the
ReplyDeleteUS tanks Overlord.
Could you make your team correct the commander
cuppola on the T29, T34 and T30 being corrected
to their REAL versions.
Actualy what we have in game is a very wrong
designed top turret. The commander cuppola
is sticking out by some 20cm+ than it was in
real.
A good source of information is
Firepower A History Of The American Heavy Tank
by R.P Hunnicutt. ISBN: 0891413049
The profile you find in that book clearly
show that for the T29, the T34 and T30
the commander cuppola was not sticking
out of the turret so much.
Only on some prototype of the T30E1 had a
specific High profile commander cuppola.
That change would be much appreciated
as it would be more accurate historicaly
and limit the size of that weakness.
Especialy as it was not realy a weakness
historicaly speaking.
Thanks in advance.
I have a T-54, Panther II, IS-4 and T30. The Russian tanks are way OP. T-54 is such an easy tank to play. T30 sucks so bad, almost as bad as the T34 after the update. You really need to stop working on stupid premium tanks and get the American line fixed.
ReplyDeleteAlso worse off, this game is completely unplayable unless you have a premium account at Tier 9/10 levels. I lose money with standard account and I'm ranked in the to 3000 and have 175 snipers. I can't buy my IS-7 because I cannot afford it! Seriously double your credit multiplier on ALL tanks or you'll eventually piss off too many people and we'll all quit. I'm not buying premium again until it's fixed.
I bought a T-25 and it was totaly waste of gold. Totaly useless tank, any improve of gold or exp income.I'm totaly disappointed.
ReplyDeleteAnd what about 105mm ammo for german tanks? Why russians 107mm cost 254 and germany 105mm more than 1000!?
Please fix this two issues. Now isn't reason for buy preemium tanks, because any profatibility isn't there. And about germany top cannon, now is better to buy 88mm, because player can be in + with money, with 105 it is not possiblee even with premium accounts
Overloard question when the T30 move to Tier IX TD happens will it still be elited out or will it have the canon and turret upgrades it did to research that where done in real life that made it the T58 Tank please say u will it would be awesome
ReplyDeletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T30_Heavy_Tank
So why you don't play German if they much better?
ReplyDeleteEveryone complaining about Soviet bias and all that jazz is pretty foolish and I would bargain they were mentally retarded.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this looks pretty cool. Nothing I'm interested in investing in, since I have the T34 and the Lowe, but it should be nice to see a different premium on the battlefield that can actually do something. I expect that when it comes out, everyone will be crying that it's OP and that there's Soviet bias, blah blah blah. I think it's fine. From paper stats, it should perform similar to the Lowe, as someone stated earlier, and it should be a fairly easy tank to engage. Provided it's not super fast, it won't make the Lowe obsolete unless it's price tag is far, far, far under the Lowe. If it's 7,500 G, then you'll a HUGE amount of these on the battlefield, since it's cheaper. This does unfortunately make the KV-5 completely and utterly useless now.
That happens with premium content, oh well, just give me my damn M103/T110 :C

Dear Overlord, you really confuse me. You said "PS: It's BL-9 gun." after the picture, and the last picture surely looks like a BL-9 gun on IS-6. But you also said 99% D-30 gun on IS-6 above.....totally confuse. Which one is correct? If D-30 is correct, why you said it's BL-9 gun at the begining and why that picture with BL-9 gun is here?
Hola Overlord,
ReplyDeleteSince the Object 252 is now being released as a Tier 8 Premium tank, what will be the new tank to take the IS-4's Tier 9 slot when it is converted to Tier 10? AND, When will a revised tech tree image be released to match?
Thanks
Can we get more info and possible pics on the Jumbo Sherman. I think that should be priority number 1-10 on this blog.
ReplyDelete=)

ReplyDeleteWhy are you screwing up your own planned tech tree Overlord?

ReplyDeletewhat WILL be the new tier 9 to replace the Is-4 and IS-6/Object 252?
The IS-10 will be the new Tier 9. It's basically an up-armored IS-3.
Don't be fooled by the name - while the number is higher, that doesn't mean it's the more advanced tank. The IS-10 could be considered a "cousin", rather than a "successor" to the IS-4.
But yes, I agree that this tank isn't the tank we should be getting information on. We should be learning more about tanks that players really care about, like the Jumbo Sherman, US Heavies, and to an extent, French tanks.
Yeah of course premium tank... Looks like you really need more money, eh WG ?? Do something about the game because its dying... Just take 5 mins and check forum and you'll see how many angry and disappointed players are out there...
