I noticed the long list of balancing adjustments made with the new update. My fear is that they are dumbing down the game. Agree? Disagree?
I get that maybe a little tweaking needs to be done to a new tank once the early data comes in. But almost all of the tweaks to tank stats are improvements, and to tanks that have been around since the beginning, like the Tiger and T-29. I don't like that. The thing that makes the game fun and interesting is how some tanks have very pronounced strengths and weaknesses. It creates diversity. If you make all the tanks good in every regard, the game will become very monotonous. You guys upped the traverse speed on the VK 45 B. Why? I played that tank. It was a very hard tank to play. It's supposed to be. Don't make it easier to play. It's got a huge gun. The trade off is, lower turret traverse speed. Heavy front armor. Weak side armor. It's a trade off. They lowered the dispersion on several tanks too. That's stupid. It means distance is less of a variable in your strategy.
By lowering the high stats, and raising the weak stats, you make a tank more average. You lowered the most appealing thing about the Grille. If you need to make the Grille a bit less overwhelming, lower one of its weaker stats to give it a slight handicap.
I've never played the Grille. Only played against it. Fighting a team with a Grille is really hard, and what makes it fun. A match where there's a Grille is very different from a match where there isn't a Grille.
In my entire time playing this game, there have been tanks I hated playing, but I've never wanted them to change any of the tanks, except for maybe the money they make. And I'd like to be able to change the camo on the Kuro Mori Mine. That's it. What's everyone else complaining about? I don't get it
This is also why I've never liked the "provisions" either. There's no trade-off. There's no downside. People just pump up their tanks more.
Players, I know we all grumble about a tank being slow, or having poor depression, etc. But that makes the game fun. If you make all the tanks awesome, none of them will be. It'll be a very boring game with little diversity. So please stop demanding that they buff a tank just to make it easier to use. It might not be that the tank sucks. It might just be that you haven't learned how to use it yet.
