Disagree with some Tactical Summations; particularly the Mod1

Update #1

Some changes came today to BlitzHangar:

 

In "Armor Performance" an image is now shown for each enemy tier.
Now, for example, it's easier to see that going in T-54 head on against weaker tier 8 enemy shouldn't be a problem, while going against anyone from tier 10 will result in your armor being penetrated.

 

Consumables are added to tank configuration. You can see their cooldown & duration times and how are they affected by boosters and equipment.
Also might be useful to see how big of an edge Adrenaline and Engine Power Boost gives you. (BTW, Engine Power Boost never raises top speed, so for many tanks it almost makes no difference to how fast they reach some place – T95 for example)

 

Finally, the most controversial block "Tactics" got a slight tune and more information on how suitability for each tactic is calculated. All your comments were very helpful, so keep them coming. If they will be with some insights on why you think tactic is wrong – it will be even more useful.

 

 

And of course gun depression and elevation were switched to show correct values

 

All feedback is greatly appreciated!

For the Leo 1, the website is saying that COD tactic is not recommended.  I clicked on the rating and it says that the traverse speed is bad.  Your website gives the Leo good traverse speed ratings so it seems like a bug.

Hm... nice idea. How do you see this implemented? Why plots? Just comparing one stat of some set of tanks is better seen in a table. What do you want to compare to what?

A table would work but I am a visual person so I would prefer a graph.  It would be easier to see where values cluster.  It is nice knowing that a tank is 10/44 in dpm but is there a large cluster of tanks with slightly less dpm just below it?  Does the heavy have dpm competitive with meds?  Maybe being able to toggle between graph and table would be possible.

 

Doesn't have to be scatter plot.

Latest update — 4.1

Database was updated with 4.1 data from the client. New event & test tanks, HESH is back and surprising big changes to FV215b's collision model:

 

 

Watch out for HEs going through your hatch!

[Grayghost2000]

I love this website. Well done.

Latest update — 3D armor model viewer

 

By far, the most requested feature, is here. 3D model viewer just landed in Blitz Hangar. Now you can easily see armor plates for all tanks in the game and check adjusted armor at all angles.

 

Give it a try: click or tap on the armor profile image and viewer will open up.

 

Live view with all plates' thicknesses adjusted for viewer is coming up next!

There is also a handful of minor updates and improvements including custom thumbnails for all tanks.

 

Do you want to see those in-game? We are thinking of making a mod with them. Here is a teaser of how it can look:

 

Hope you'll find this update helpful,

Good luck on the battlefield!

Beautiful!  Now for Module-Viewer

It's not likely module viewer is going to happen. There is no data about modules in game client, so there is no reliable way to show them as they are in game. At least for now.

Ah that would have been my request also.

 

The armour viewer is awesome, I'm already sharing it with clannies etc.

[Silver_Lions]

Absolutely superb work!   Your site is already iconed onto the desktop, and its cool to know that after 12,000 battles, i still have some things to learn.  The spaced armor visual is messing with my head.....no wonder those shots didnt go through!   

 

Not sure if your in school, but this would be a helluva capstone project......

 

Great job!

Update 4.2

A bit late, but better late than never, right?

 

There were a LOT of balance and armor changes in 4.2. Not all of them got the recognition they deserve in the official patch notes.

Those include:

• 2 missing loaders from Grille 15's crew – this causes reload time to get bigger;
• loader and gunner fired from Helsing H0's crew – longer reload times, worse dispersion and turret traverse speed;
• buffed armor of Blaze WZ;
• Type 59's turret got a lot of love
  
• and more!

 

There is a new premium light tank, possibly to be sold soon: Tier VI Chinese Type 64

 

For the full list, as always, check http://blitzhangar.com/update/4-2

 

Good luck on the battlefield!

The helsing got a ninja nerf? Wow

[tdskip2]

Holy cow - is that right on the T59 turret? That is a big deal if so.

 

(not doubting you, just seems like a big change not to be announced)

That's data from game client. One thing I can say for sure: in game, in sniper mode you'll see turret way more protected. Actual penetration is calculated on server-side, but that would be just cruel: showing you armored turret and allowing shell to penetrate anyway.

 

So far, for previous updates, everything matched. I'm not sure why they are not announcing it, but similar things happen every update.
