You should buff that Piece of shît VK 45.02A. A tumbleweed with a good headwind could pen it...  pfft.. trash

 

  Nothing wrong with it, it’s German, it has the same weak lower plate and a strong gun. WTH are you talking about?

[BrickSniper33A]

Ribble, I was wondering. I've been wanting the Pz. I C in Blitz for years, (I can already sense _Seal_s disapproval) Does WG have any plans to add it? However, if the answer is yes but the speed has been nerfed, I'll have no interest.

When does 5.0 drop?

play it with the mentality that it is a medium tank, and you'll do better. flank with your meds.

[I_Maverick_I]

YES PLS T26E4 is pretty weak rn. Its turret armor is pretty unreliable, and the gun's bloom while moving is terrible.

It's a great tank, what are you doing, brawling tier 9s? It's a medium bully. Go with the meds. You'll soon see its true colors, as you bounce literally everything.

Panther 88 has had the worst wr of any tank of the game for ages. It could use some luv

No, we don't plan it.

Panther 8.8 definitely needs something. T26E4 is ok, kust like 4502. Anyway, we'll discuss all those vehicles. 

[40_Percent_Trash]

Where does the WZ Blaze stand currently in tier 7?

 

Also has it been long enough to see the standing for the T-34-3?

[TJFbleu]

Any plans to look at the IS6? It seems to have been made irrelevant in the current meta with its underwhelming armor, poor dpm when compared to IS5 or IS3s, and the worst mobility out of all the IS tanks at that tier. There seems to be no real advantage to playing an IS6 over any other russian heavy at the tier.

What are you smoking? "Underwelming armour" my rear end. When lower tier lights and meds can't pen the sides and rear with prammo and same tier tanks get random bounces off flat side armour, the armour is probably not underwelming.

What about the Panther M/10?  Just curious how you guys see that one.

I doubt you played pre 3.7 when people reroll IS-6 platooned at 2.2k and 80% win rate. The tank has been power crept by the IS-5, T34, and the IS-3 Defender. I assure you that the tank is no where near as dominant as it was. There is too much armor now and there for you run the dpm gun, because you can’t pen anything. So then you switch to the heat gun which has the same pen as the is-5 and is-3D but a much lower rate of fire. Couple that with the fact that the is-5 is both cheaper and faster, and the defender has an auto loader. The real question is why bother playing the IS-6?

 

Also. What is the point of a heavy tank if lights and mediums from a tier lower pen you?

Seems like you should improve your aiming. Its really not that hard to go though an IS6 face on, and unless you are sidescraping in an IS6, its hard to get reliable bounces

Try aiming and prammo. Problem solved. It has the weakest armor compared to the other IS-types it’s tier. I think the best solution would be to nerf it’s peers, but since WG doesn’t want to nerf premiums a buff to the Is-6 would be fine.

[oicram1]

Would it be too much to ask for a tiny buff to the pen go the Type 62?? Just a touch please Ribble?

Spot on

IS-6 remains stripped on blocks in the garage.
