So there it is! New USA tech treeline and the top prize in the Xmas 2021 box shenanigans. An interesting new mechanic, but what really sinks my boat is the fact that these new track mechanics allow track repair whilst on the move (presumably by house-elves or leprechauns) but a mechanic to upright your vehicle after it ends up on its side or upside down is too much to ask?

[@stanislavkos3723]

You can turn back with the double-barreled tanks(or at least WG said you can do it). But otherwise yes, that's exactly how it's going to be.

[@Damien_N]

The mechanic to upright your vehicle does exist, it’s in Steel Hunter. The only reason it’s not in the regular battle modes is to “guide” you into playing more carefully (punish you for making stupid errors)

[@BlackWit11]

@@Damien_N I was talking about the random games. There are a number of vehicles that are very prone to capsizing. When losing a track can be repaired by waiting a while I don't see why a similar mechanic could not also be implemented in the random game. Stupid errors quite often are caused by unrealistic terrain characteristics or track behavior. Puttin a tank on its side by riding up a rock with one track is physically impossible (due to weight and engine limitations) but yet it does happen in WoT, As track repair in the real work would take quite some time (and will not happen when under fire) but happens anyways in Wot, the same considerations are true for turned tanks. And it is just a bloody nuisance when you are taken out of the game like that.

[@A_Crying_NSX]

To put it simply, the tier 6 is entirely new, the tier 7 is different from the M-7-YOH in Blitz, looks like a tier 7 variant of the tier 8 YOH tank, which has the same design in both game, the tier 9 in Blitz become a tier 10, and vice versa, probably because the layout of the armor. the tier 9 and 10 has 2 very similar gun 3-shell autoloader or 2 shell, 3 shell burst is 300, which probably gonna be 320-330 with 2-3s intro in PC and 2 shell is 450, probably gonna stay the same or lowered and have 2 sec intro, Blitz version is 1.71secs.

[@Syntaxelele]

Best solution would be that you can still move around with main tracks destroyed, but to repair them you must be stationary, makes more sense than the repair penalty when moving. Let's say your main track is destroyed, you slowly go back hiding, stay still while main track is being repaired, or move with the reduced speed but not able to fix the tracks (unless you use repair kit to fix it)

[@joshualee6119]

I think WG should implement a lifespan limit on the reserve tracks as it is not physically feasible for the smaller reserve tracks to bear the full weight of the tank imo. Maybe have a healthbar counter that counts down if the player continues to move after the main tracks are damaged

[@chrisckinfos54]

...like there are not already ALOT of tanks in game...What will be next. Starfight Battleships? You took out the wte100, you put in obj279e and fv95s. you present the concept 1b, and now the yoh tanks.I think you should change the personal missions system, and ranked battles too, before you insert this tanks in game. Prepare also a mars environment battleground. It will suit Alien Tanks.

[@olmocap5548]

If your tank is moving with secondary track then the repairing of the main track should be on halt until you stop to repair it. It's a no brainer

[@ej5650]

The reserve tracks being broken isn't in blitz btw but the tank can only reverse. Just to let everybody know P.S. I very suprised they're gonna implement the tanks into the game.

[@federicomariaostuni5202]

This is super cool BUT I ask in my opinion two good things that could balance these tanks better in the game: 1 they shouldn't be able to use improved hardening 2 they should get assistant damage even if the reserve track isn't destroyed

[@underpowergaming]

WG should add this mechanic to the AE Phase 1. Unlike the T95 and 279 the AE Phase 1 really has this mechanic

[@chitandaeru7239]

What about the Russian BTs going car mode when tracked lol

[@TheCatzFranzNeko]

You know, I'm not entirely convinced that WG at this point hasn't just completely given up and is literally just trying to see what they can get away with. Tracking is one of the few ways you can deal with a lot of situations in this game. To give a mobile tank just the option to poof away behind a rock after tracking feels like an insult. The penalty is not enough, everyone already knows that Tracking stops a tank. That's the basics of this game. Everyone already loathes the fact that EBRs can limp away as if their light speed wasn't already a pain to deal with, so the idea of introducing that exact element to regular tanks as well just blows my mind, in a negative way. This just sounds extremely infuriating.
