But... you do...

Yes. Statistically, it was one of the worst performing vehicles in the game. And I am talking OT-64 level of bad - low 40s winrate in PvP and such.

Looked a bit different on the screenshots I saw. Surprised there's still that old garage in the client.

Interestingly enough, I've recently seen screenshots of new vehicles in old garage. The developers have asked me not to share them so I won't, but it looks VERY uncanny, as if the vehicle was photoshopped into the garage, I assume due to various post-effects and the difference between texture quality now and then.

Before you guys put too much time into this topic, please know that we will be overhauling the concept and descriptions of accuracy in the foreseeable future to make it more clear.

Western sources usually mix these vehicles up so I wouldn't put much stock into anything in English. It's basically the earliest proto-Terminator from 2000. Was shown around a bit, didn't get much attention and in 2002, it was reworked to what is basically Ramka-99 in the game. The designations are a complete mess, multiple configurations can be referred to as "Ramka-99" and such. That's why we'll likely be calling this vehicle BMPT Mod.2000 in English. As for the Kornet missiles, I'd like to bring your attention to the fact that it's an older Kornet-E model, not Kornet-EM.

It should be tanks within X degrees from your gun axis (10 degrees was it?)

So it's basically a PLZ-05, but at a lower tier to dunk on things with less armor.

I don't even play PvP, and I can already tell this will be horribly broken. Probably not so much in PvE, but still awful.

Well, not exactly.

It's basically MTLB with missile bending but it's quite possible that, based on player feedback, we might remove the bending. So far we are still collecting it.

Two unannounced vehicles left. The next one is going to be either very fun or absolute cancer, I can't really decide. The one after - if you like the Chonker, you're gonna like that one I suspect.

This year, that I know of.

@Silentstalker Can we expect some high-tier light tanks with some armor in the future?

Yes

No, its DPM will be okay. Initial setting is 10 rounds per minute at top Leopard kinetic shells, HESH and HE. No HEAT IIRC

TLDR a Tier 5 Leopard with active suspension.

Turns out they simply shortened the defense timer while leaving everything else the same. Not too big of a deal TBH.

Actually, they also changed some internal behavior parameters of the bots, making some of them less aggressive (not rushing the cap), along with a couple more smaller internal changes.

Yes, I would absolutely like to see that video. And you have my official permission to name anyone involved :)

Because, just to be clear, it's a bunch of nonsense of course.

Trust me - if I had a special invincible tank for staff, it would be pink with a massive "FUCK YOU WE'RE STAFF" banner over it.

IIRC that problem was connected to some specific render settings.

Passed it to the vehicle team for investigation.

....yet ;)
