I find it rather insulting that you nerfed the speed of my type 59. Since the 7.1 update, it hasnt accelerated for crap, the gun can pen nothing of or above its tier unless I load gold, and it cant get to top speed unless I am going down a steep hill.  I find it insulting that you allow me to spend  money on a tank then you nerf its abilities and firepower simply because your stupid match making system cant avoid putting 6 of them on one team in each battle. People had no real issue with the tank, only with facing 4,5,6 of them at a time. As it is not the tank I purchased, is WOT going to refund some of the gold I had to purchase in order to get this tank?? Im sure they wont. After all, all they want is your cash... once they have it, they could really care less what you think.  Typical business.

oh look, another iwannabuyOPtank thread  

The Type 59 reminds me of the Ram2 these days. Not the force it used to be, but it can still get a kill or two and make lots of credits. Some more penetration would be nice though.

I hear yah, if your going to sell something you shouldnt change it after youve sold it, do what ur going to do to it before you sell it, after u sell it leave it be!

I agree with the OP, since the update I couldnt hit an elephant on the side of a house!

This guy is right!

The OP is just a forum troll trying to get more neg reps.

I checked his stats and he does actually suck at the type 59 so I can see why he would be complaining about it...but most likely just trolling because he needs the attention...So don't try reason with him  

The 59 is basically an under gunned and slower T54... You've got the nice tier 9 bouncium Armour, use that and aim for weak spots  

Did someone say

I wish they would actually buff it and make the log platinum or something.


See I just made this thread worth looking at.

I agree with this.  I think it's bullshit that you can buy a product as it currently is, and the company that sold it to you can dial down its effectiveness later without consulting or compensating you.  imagine any other company doing that.

I didn't read the eula - is it in there, that they can do that?

Yes it is... It says something along the lines of WG are entitled to change the virtual objects at anytime blah blah blah....  

aceleration is like shit now ,, if theres no downhill i cant make top speed .. for real ... ( same case as IS 7 )

Anyone else think that an acceleration / speed buff would fix it? Or make it betteR? the gun is ok, remember it is a medium not an object 704, but when i can outrun one in an M103 or T110 HEAVY tank then there is something wrong...sorry starting to ramble

I think  a speed increase needs to be added back the 59 is nothing compared to some other tier 8s so i don't understand why the y hit it with a nerf stick so much for speed in the ninja patch

LOOK people want to talk smack about T59 owners simply because they dont own one.  Well I am telling you as someone who DIDN'T BUY HIS, it was gifted to me, that it is WRONG to CHANGE a product AFTER the fact when you spend money with the expectation that it is going to be one thing.  300 battles in my T59 and YES acceleration has been nerfed, as has PEN ability, accuracy, reload time and ARMOR...

If I go to a store and buy a stereo, Sony doesn't come to my house and NERF my amplifier after the fact? I UNDERSTAND they stopped selling the T59... cause as stated before MM couldnt handle LIMITING how many are in a battle, which from day one MANY of us were saying thats all that needs to happen.  INSTEAD you basically flip your finger at EVERYONE that got a T59 to the point where I dont even want to use the tank anymore?  It's bad enough my money making and XP making ability has been nerfed some but you want to go ahead and take a PRODUCT and turn it down???  I have been playing this game for YEARS since closed beta and I am about done with it.... You always give players SOMETHING when you change a tank IE: the IS, KV and T30 changes...  and yet you decided to NERF something and NOT give something to the players?  I would agree you CAN leave the T59 nerfed but I would HIGHLY suggest some sort of compensation be made.

I would feel the same way about this topic even if I DIDN'T own a T59, regardless of what most people think...  I see LOWE's rolling through battles devastating the other team and no one talks smack? WHY because not as many people own them as T59's I believe...  And 2-3 T59's together can bring havoc to a battle...

Fair is fair, and the DEV's have done NOTHING fair on this topic... you CAN say that you haven't nerfed the T59 ALL DAY LONG, I talk to T59 drivers on a regular basis and I assure you my number of battles in it(300) is MINIMAL compared to some of these players... and ALL OF US say it has been done......

FIX THIS PLEASE!!!!

I would like a refund as well.  I actually bounced off a T5 with a straight shot, I bounced four times off a T6 heavy, I bounced off the flattest part of the rear of T7 medium.  This was in a single battle.  If your T8 medium stock tank did that you would complain.  Instead, I spend gold for a piece of crap.  I would like a refund.  You can have this piece of crap back and I would like all my gold back.

+1  i agree. the tank is diminished since last patches

What nurf nothing seem different must be you....

Considering in the past few days I have had three rounds where I got over 2000XP and got Ace tanker, a top gun etc with the T59 it's fine.
