[@aaronster6504]

exactly what I was thinking

[@pyra_cmd]

Looks a bit too strong in the hull for sure, the turret is similar to many tier 8 heavies in that you shouldn't even try shooting it. Also with the weight restriction and good mobility, the side armour may be overmatched by a lot of tanks, meaning the tank cannot use it's armour effectively

[@moh2797]

The uper hull can be pened by tier nines and some tier 8s but the turret looks op so I hope it has a little weak point on top .

[@t0pclwn343]

Oh hell no that isnt a chieftain turret, it looks like an XM-1!

[@blackwood4734]

the turret is too small, plus with the minus 10 degree gun it's gonna be op af man. I'm afraid not even HE spam on the rooftop could counter it but then again, why do WG even bother trying to design a balance vehicle? they will 100% make it op because people vote for it by money and we always love op thing

2014 player here, I don't know what they are thinking at Wargaming's HQ, but they are making this game more and more arcade with every single new relase since 1.0 All the tanks became a generic OP medium-heavy tank mixture. Every tank moves fast, every tank has the max. spotting range with equipment, every tank has the best DPM, every tank hides best etc. It will be the death of this game what they are now doing to make profit by setting the game's pace faster. One another game, the World of Warplanes, which they made too arcade from the beginning was so childish that it interested no player base other than very young people and had to be re-relased because it completely died. Please, Wargaming; do not make this game like the Fortnite.

[@matthiuskoenig3378]

the premium seems to be based on the italian concepts for MBT-70 (which they joined late on), the tier X looks like a concept i have seen about a future MBT concept which was put in an italian magazine in 1980 (similar to the french Char Futur 4). the Tier 7 looks like an enlarged version of the M16/43 (hence the reference to british turning light tanks into heavies, as its a light medium that has been turned into a heavy). I haven't heard of such italian plans but *shrug* the tier 8 looks like a modified american medium, i have heard rumours of an italian proposed upgrade abandoned due to the americans giveing them M60s, perhaps it is based on those rumours (or blueprints if true) the tier 9 is probably based on the italian FINABEL 'blueprints' (2 of the others were used to create the current medium tier 9 and 10), the ones available on the internet are not from a reliable source, but we know they did create their own...

@@bitkarek there is proposal on the internet and they found good elements to make heavy, light and td line and they are generally made in Czech design,without Soviet or any other nation elements in chassis or guns.

[@gruxtertv6005]

@@bitkarek In theory, there is enough vehicles/blueprints for every single class. There were a plenty of light tanks in development after ww2 (mostly intended for export). Leták tank is a great example of this. For TDs, there is a possibility of 2 branches: one turreted the other one without turret. Both were supposed to be built on the TVP chassis, so their mobility would be quite great. Arty could also appear, but another SPG branch is the last thing this game needs. However, there were some interesting vehicles, like 150mm gun on top of Škoda T-25 chassis or DANA, a wheeled SPG with 152mm howitzer. In theory, even heavy tanks could be added. Now, there is no official documentation about the development of heavy tanks in Czechoslovakia. They may not have even existed, or maybe they did and the documentation was simply lost (a big portion of archives was destroyed/went missing when socialism in Czechoslovakia fell). Historical accuracy is not that great of a deal in wot though, so here goes. In 1950s, CIA received a report about new tanks being tested in Czechoslovakia (this report is actually real and can be found online, since CIA declassified it several years ago). There was a new light tank with rear-mounted turret, as well as 6 heavy tank prototypes, also with rear-mounted turrets. It is possible that the person who wrote the report simply misidentified the vehicle. But perhaps (hopefully 😉🇨🇿), those vehicles actually once existed. Pipboy wot and pikpikker are great sources, they actually have full proposals of Czechoslovakian tech tree (both different). Also a guy here on YT named Velocci made good videos about possible Czechoslovakian tech tree branches, you can check it out if you want.

[@gottwyCZ]

Italian heavy tanks look very interesting and fun. However tier 8 premium looks overtuned. I don't think it should have great armor and good speed and autoreloading gun at the same time. It either needs to be slow or with way less armor. Like this it is better than recently released T77 in every way.

[@naimaware]

If they undertune would be useless, they said the gun isnt vrry precise from distance so its balanced enough.

[@robinkhn2547]

the wheeled vehicles would be alright, if they wouldnt have that ludicrously high HE penetration. They destroy the normal light tanks just with a few shots, thats what annoys me most. The speed is alright, they are balanced by their abysmal view range. Sometimes the wheeled light tanks can help to break camp-offs, so they are useful and should stay in the game, under the condition, that they receive a massive HE pen nerf. The wheeled light tanks should complement the normal light tanks, not replace them. Cos currently you have no chance to fight them with ur regular light tanks, so you have to avoid them, which can result that u cant spot effectively for ur team.

[@thaibinh99]

Good. Seem like this tank will present in Christmas loot box.

[@mightking]

even though the progetto heavy prem is a thing, i hope its not as overpowered as the progetto 46, even after "nerfed" progetto 46 is still a solid tank, that tank is beyond disgusting, i like the idea of heavium italian heavy lines but it should at least have a tiny bit more armor though?

[@Astor4o]

Hmm would the IS-3A move to a similar mechanism as well? It's almost the same sans the improved part...I guess that might make it too OP though.

[@TomsonPRD]

Thanks for this branch Wargaming!!!

[@totoro5129]

I would say I don’t mind these new premium tanks (though this one is just terrifyingly good), but I think wargaming should buff some of the older premiums that have fallen out of favor instead of introducing new tanks to replace them. The AMX CDC is a great example, as well as the excelsior. Just a mild buff to those kinds of vehicles would do good on both sides : 1. Wargaming will make more money cause people will buy the tank, which has gotten buffed. 2. The players that already own the tanks (like me) will see their gameplay improve, as the tanks are not so horrid. If they implement this, I would say it would get mostly positive feedback and make most happy.

Folkisher : the tier 10 Italian Heavy looks awesome in my opinion, can't wait to try them.

[@gopniktanker6699]

The premium one its too good :p 240 mm upper plate? Think at all the pens at tier 8, just few tanks have more than 240, and i think all of them are TDs

[@shadow6953]

AEG should be thrill about the Fiat 2000, Need this tank as in tier 2-3 gift prenium

[@falco1453]

I feel like the penatration value should be around 150-190 or something cause I'd rather not have a realy fast dpm tank absolutely demolishing me and penning ever shot so I have a fight chance

[@SRDPS2]

Tech-Tree HT is fast ,don't show armor But Premium show it and slow It meaning Tech-Tech HT maybe same as France HT.

[@alexandrumarzenco6998]

The bisonte c45 already broke the game balance at tier 8. Good job wargaming. The compensation mechanic is simply too op and add to that that every single bisonte player (I've met) shoots only premium rounds and you got yourself a game breaking tank. The turret simply needs a weak spot as there's not a single map where bisonte can't take advantage of the terrain and stay Hull Down. But ofc. It was a loot box vehicle and you need to give people a reason to gamble their wallets, wargaming style, right? :)

[@thakki7528]

I kinda like the T9 one and the premium version but i think the premium version will be op af , look at that characteristics woaw ! sure is going to change ? How often you've seen that happened ? that tank is the sell point for the branch and it will be the first to come into game , i hope im wrong and it wont be a chieftain at T8 destroying the game balance , and if there is any balance at all at T8 , all i see is matches with T8 op premium tanks that want to make credits nothing wrong in that ... but t8 matches are just a mess imo
