    The Tier 1 to 6 set of changes follows the same rules and subscribes to the same philosophy as the previous high-Tier adjustments. There were issues in the earlier game balance that we specifically wanted to address. These issues included:

    • Power creep between Tiers

    Let’s get real. We do hear your feedback and recognize some things didn’t go as intended.

    Never release a PR statement without it, kids! :winkseal:

     

    On a more serious note: I am really curious, if they walk the walk and how that is supposed to look now.

    Math does pan out 68.75%, but did he/she played all the games with an eligible campaign vehicle?
    At least in GlOps, you get often reminded that the T-72B3, T-90A, BMPT 2017, T-90MS, BMPT-72 are struggling, due to being 1-2 tier(s) lower and/or are not performing as well as their opponents in the same role.

    Either Kazehana goes by another IGN or f'ed it up:

    Looks like Archibald was at least partially successful with his task of scrubbing the data! :classic_laugh:

    By the way, neat idea with the crawler. SS might need to up his game. All thou, that would make the scavenger hunt only a thing for a really very small niche part of the community.
    Thinking about it, to a degree it already is.

    A long time ago during one of the 5-6 nerfs (I'm not exaggerating, it was nerfed twice during its BP, and then again immediately after)

    The initial nerfs were needed, CATTB was immune to HEAT/ATGMs from the front and largely immune to AP, the turret / hull sides were fairly resistant against HEAT/ATGMs.
    Add to that resilience 4000+ HP and fairly good speed/agility and you go deleting stuff ≤ 3500k with the 150 mm double tap for days. :sealclub:

    The introduction of significant bloom between shots was necessary to actually make it a short range thing, as well as reduce armour a bit to not let it just drive up to stuff (this was also pre-shipdamage from HEAT MP/ATGMs → No pen = 0 damage).
    Then nerfing reload, armour, hp, damage, penetration again and again was pure overkill.:dedseal:

    He is referring to the next set of contract missions achievements, which got released prematurely, and just like the current set the rewards are 4 decals and a camouflage pattern.

    Correct! The progress on the achievement was fixed with the last patch. Some good news.

    This also doesn't really explain the thought process behind this - remove HP from a component across all tanks, because at some point in the future, you plan to increase the hp it gives and this reduction would just keep the HP value the same.

    A wild guess? To then conveniently forget about the supposedly later changes/buffs, just like they only half assed reverting the Artillery from their glorious idea of HE direct fire derpgun TD's.

    Disappointed? They can't be bothered to even put the event hub in the game, with proper counters for missions and maybe an overview of how you are doing and how the campaign is going.
    Seriously? It's 2021, and we have to take screenshots, upload them to a 3rd party site as well as to submit a link + info that could be easily scraped from the server database.

    I'm really curious how the second attempt on Episode 1 plays out, chucking 42 PvE / 50 Weekend SpecOps / 48 GlOps at the community after that statement. :classic_unsure:

    Fixed the incorrectly launched TAM 2IP contract (your progress is saved but the TAM contract will begin on September 29 as previously announced)

    Wonder if that includes fixing the progression in the Apocalypse contract missions achievement counter and the Apocalypse Now contract missions counter.

    Nothing to see here until the notes come.

    Notes got changed or news replaced as a whole, previously said the new contract started early, but it got fixed and "not to worry all progress was saved".
    Well, it was not. Old contract progress achievement stayed at 135/150 and does no longer progress, the new contract achievement is at 15/150 and counting.

    - You need to have registered to participate in the event (the registration will be available through the Prologue, so you can register at any point)

    It will be a drag to get 80 games (Any mode counts)  done in with any vehicles of the EU modern MBTs (Challenger 1, Challenger 2, Leopard 2, Leopard 2A5, Leopard 2A6, Leclerc, C1 Ariete) to complete the Prologue until June 30th, but it would still be doable.

    I mean, supposedly the budget is small for AW, but is having an employee look at a few thousand screenshots as well as cross-check and verify them with accounts by hand really cheaper than a writing a short script for checking =< 2500 BC on each account in the database? It looks a bit like a "Save a dime, spend a dollar" solution. :classic_blink:

    Also, no comment about the use of boosts or chests? Or do they imply those with "one that can be solved easily"?

    Cheers guys!

    The Prototypes are basically a given - it's easily the most played and most popular tier.  Enjoy trying to do 200 missions a month!

    I mean I really hope you're wrong but at this point I'm not sure. Though they will monitor the increase so given most people already were playing a lot of those prototype vehicles before the campaign I think it could be significantly harder for that group to get a high increase. I don't know the statistics on vehicle/tier usage but I'm quite sure it's easier to get a gain on non T10 stuff. So there's some hope left.

    Past  storyline campaigns did run fairly smoothly, lets hope this one will as well. It is also completely behind closed doors, if it is not going in the direction they want it to go (pumping up player numbers in general as well as available players in queue), there are plenty of options to "help" it along. I doubt they will let it crash and burn after just the Prologue if it is meant to be to run for a year or so.

    It is important to note that you don't just need to play 80 battles, you need to play 80 battles in one of the listed vehicles.

    It isn't stated specifically, but I think it is reasonable to assume that you do not need to play all 80 battles in the same vehicle.  If that were required, I would hope that they would have made it very clear.

    Any clarification on that front?
