ITS REAL! T249 Vigilante Nerfs Inbound & Game Board Event Starts in World of Tanks Console

[@tintin5038]

Am I overlooking something? I just completed a battle on Cao Bang and survived the battle. I played the battle in my T-72M1, which has 3,000 hit points and I blocked 3,400 damage. Why was I not awarded the Shellproof medal, which is needed for a stamp on the game board event. Yes, this was a multiplayer game, not co-op.

[@JustaCone]

I don't believe Shellproof is a medal earnable in CW, thats why

[@tintin5038]

Well that’s a bummer. Thank you.

[@jacobsekela8691]

I’m honestly shocked that the Devs caved into the backlash and nerfed this thing. Probably the first time in years that I can recall community outrage actually leading to something being changed, cancelled, or reversed (the most recent event being the Patch Kit Testing Weekend being cancelled a week after being announced all the way back in 2017). Praying that these changes are enough … they may just be doing this to shut us up or they may have realized just how much damage the T249 has already done to the game.

[@saerbhreathach540]

The great German nerf is another example, sadly there's still bits of it left in game E50M I'm looking at you. But for the most part they reversed most of that rework thanks to the community absolutely shitting all over WG.

[@jacobsekela8691]

@@saerbhreathach540 Ah, okay - I remember people talking about that but I started playing in January of 2015 so that may have happened just before I started playing. I also remember community backlash leading to the Comic Book Mode lasting for barely a few days before it was completely removed lol ... that was hilariously bad.

[@JustaCone]

They nerfed the Armadillo which was post 6.0

[@hannuhauhonsalo2304]

And Strv S1 many years ago but nobody remembers that as it was minor nerf only affecting it's track traverse speed and some other thing (can't remember what it was)​@@JustaCone

[@rocketfishx3474]

If you think they are going to listen to your direct feedback as a supertester I would mention how bitter testers have been in the past because their feedback was ignored. Perhaps things are different now but prepare yourself for disappointment. Good luck. I think you obviously want a fair and balanced game but I think WG doesn't care

[@jessymeowlight5660]

I was hoping they'd remove that freaking chip damage...

[@JustaCone]

I'm hoping they change their changes :)

[@duomaxwell4340]

Would cost em way to much money truthfully this nerf will cost them a lot of money i know a lot of people getting refunds right now for the t249

[@jessymeowlight5660]

@@duomaxwell4340 Which is the stupidest thing. If they had done premiums the way War Thunder does 'em they'd never have been an issue. I'm legit so (and still so) pissed at them for being so incompetent.

​@@duomaxwell4340 that shouldn't be allowed and disclaimer has to be put

[@Colonel_dinggus]

1:08 rerolls costing gold just seems kinda scummy. I’ve played other games with a similar mechanic for challenge rerolls except they only cost free earnable currency. 500,000 silver might been more appropriate but I guess they gotta take that gold back in somehow

[@p6x2]

it's all about finding new ways of making Gold. The existing ones have now been exhausted.

[@CaptainKotetsu]

Should’ve been shell damage reduced, not clip size reduced. Imagine if they reduced the damage per shell from 25 to 5 and then buffed the reload to compensate. That would give a clip potential of 960, which isn’t broken but still respectable.

[@SmellySumtom]

*Barrel Heat Management Needed:* A gun barrel as hot as the Sun, something should happen, and a "cooking-off rounds (gaming mechanic)" can solve all these problems.

[@JohnSully-h9b]

Great video. Who's ready to play some tank bingo baby 😊 oh and now the t249 won't be able to kill 2 whole tier 10 heavies and only 1 and 1/2 of them lol.

Should be in cold war but can't wait until WG adds the M247 Sergeant York

[@itzlit761]

M42 duster needs to be added to the game as well

[@JustaCone]

its one of the two celebrations reward vehicles we're getting after this season is over alongside the M163 VADS

[@JoeMamaisgae]

@@itzlit761cool story bro. I will give you 5 rubels to not tell that story ever again.

[@moderatelyecchi8720]

T249 is going from insanely broken to broken basically. Idk why they won’t just simply lower the overall dmg potential so it isn’t nuking anything it can pen

[@JustaCone]

Hopefully these changes aren't final and they actually nerf the tank properly

[@hannuhauhonsalo2304]

Unfortunately, they are not gonna remove it's two most broken things: That insane clip potential nor it's "bleeding damage" mechanism. Friend of my who is in supertest shared me a picture of details they are gonna nerf it. It's clip will go from 192 down 130 rounds so your guess was spot on... They will also nerf it's camo down a lot, it will have 2nd worst camo of any tier X light tank after those nerf go live... Well, IF they go live.

[@Cris-eo9hv]

@@hannuhauhonsalo2304thsts not enough it needs a cold down mechanism

[@CaptainKotetsu]

@@hannuhauhonsalo2304 That will literally fix nothing lol. It can still run up behind full health heavies and erase them in one second. I like my idea better: Reduce the damage per shell from 25 to 5 but keep the clip size the same. This would give the clip a burst potential of 960 damage, which isn’t enough to clip out anything at tier IX-X but is still respectable. And then maybe make the reload shorter to compensate.

[@itzlit761]

Lot of people feel that anti air craft guns shouldn't be in the game or at at least ww2 mode but theres alot of tanks in ww2 mode that are developed after ww2 so where do we draw the line and balance these tanks that were prototypes or never saw action against real armor. End of the day its a game. GG looking forward to rest of your reviews

[@itzlit761]

Btw t249 vigilante was a real tank

[@9x19]

They should make a Cold War category 1947 to 1991

[@Mr_Vosakisen]

I have the T249 and though I find it fun, its disgusting for it to be in the game, and Im glad they are taking (some) steps into nerfing it but I don't thinking these will be enough. Maybe its much but I think the clip size with AP should be something more like 500-700 total if you still want that massive clip size make it so that the 3,800 dmg potential be with HE shells, as they have lower pen. Just my thoughts

[@alanq64]

As far as the gun goes, if they had given it the overheat mechanic, I feel that would have been good enough.

[@JustaCone]

wouldn't be enough unless they had it overheat immediately, damage would still need to be lowered and intra clip raised

[@alanq64]

@@JustaCone True. Why is it that what seems obvious to the players can't be seen by the developers? The power creep over the past couple of years is ridiculous. They need to make a standard and have the tanks meet it. Nerf or buff, whatever it takes to bring it level. It's why I don't play nearly as much as I used too.

[@georgestemple3310]

Well won't be buying any premium tanks anymore if they are going to nerf them

[@vHades_]

its very rare but they've always had the right to alter paid content and have done it a couple times in the past

[@Rig_Greeze]

then don't mr beluga

[@flixise8015]

Bro, this thing needs a nerf, they need to nerf what NEEDS nerfs. There are many more annoying ass "premium" tier X tanks that STILL haven't been touched.

[@Ruslan74-vt5fz]

As usual the board passed atrocious WG QA... I already gave an excess of 6 orange arrow stamps that I cannot do anything with. I have thus far not gotten any red shield stamps to process and am not spending 125 gold to reroll. They should have implemented an option to trade duplicate stamps for one that you need. Typical WG letting their players do the QA. 😂

[@harissarajevo3267]

DONT BUY ANITHING FROM WG, ONLY IN THAT WAY WE CAN WIN.

[@p6x2]

Nope. If you don't buy anything, it does not really count in the statistics. Instead, do something they can measure. For example, stop playing any Tier that can see Tier X, thus the black plague. That they can see in the stats they are looking at every day. If enough players stay with tanks that can face maximum Tier IX, believe me, they will detect it.

[@harissarajevo3267]

@p6x2 you forgot tier match +- 2 tier. If I skip tier 10 and play with tier 8, server will put me against tier 10

[@p6x2]

@@harissarajevo3267 If your read my comment, I said don't play any Tier that can see Tier X. So it means play up to Tier VII, or Tier VIII that have preferential match making, such as the AMX FCM 50 that only sees up to Tier IX.

[@harissarajevo3267]

yes, but again you have a problem. it's very hard to play against tier 2+. for example tiger I against leopard pta

[@p6x2]

@@harissarajevo3267 The main goal, as expressed in my initial comment, is to avoid playing against the T249. For the rest, you have tough opponents at each and every Tier, but the T249 is simply in another level.

[@hannuhauhonsalo2304]

Something that you said on your video... just wanted to say that there are lots of lighttanks in tiers 1-3 that have worse camo while moving than when they are stationary. Not sure why but it is like that on lower tiers.

[@hillbillysvideos2669]

Hate the tank, want it gone.

[@johnmortsgreb3790]

First gold tank I’ve bought in five years. Guess I wont be buying another. Almost 12k spotting last night. Close to a second mark. Nerfing the passive scout abilities pisses me off more than the reduced damage potential.

[@Cris-eo9hv]

That tank is broken af two of them shouldn’t be able to erase 3 lights and a medium just cuz.

[@MyTankSlaps]

Try do the same in a non broken pixel instead. Hardly an achievement

[@davidkelty7688]

So you don’t buy any tanks for five years and then choose to buy one of the most toxic tanks ever and cry when they give it a much needed nerf 🙄🙄

[@johnmortsgreb3790]

@ you have very poor reading comprehension skills. Try again.

[@p6x2]

There is no way you can fix the black plague. It is like putting a bandaid on a prosthetic limb... lol... they let out a monster and it is going to be very difficult to give the illusion they can do something about it, and pleasing both sides. When MaxChaos24 was in charge of Supertest, I don't think he is any longer, we came accross a slew of tanks that were OP during the testing. The testers were always in agreement when tanks were OP, divergence of opinions only occured with tanks perceived as needing buffs. Some agreed some did not. But one issue I clearly remembered as being discussed, with MaxChaos24 as the lead, is we, the testers agreed that a premium tank should remain as issued, because purchased with money. That was one of the few principles, even if the EULA states that WG can do whatever they please with whatever they want.

[@JoeMamaisgae]

Ninja turtle collab coming to the game. BOOOOOOO

Not going to happen lol, It's clearly written in their EULA that they have the right to change any paid or non-paid content in their game which every player agrees to.

[@77nebula]

Imagine actually believing you (player) know more about a game than the devs of it.

[@JustaCone]

Imagine you (commenter) not knowing what a discussion is and thinking players cannot talk about the games they play... what did I say that made you think I know more about the game than the devs? I provided my feedback on the changes, is that not allowed? Also to be completely honest too, they have said things about the game before that have been completely wrong ironically, but thats fine. Here I simply think the nerfs are not correct cause, get this, I play the game and have an opinion on it.
