1: Bring back the gun traverse that it had in Beta

2: Fix the ghost round issue

3: Give her a little better accuracy

4: Give her a tad better ROF


With the introduction of the new U.S. Heavy/Med line along with the fast French tanks and soon to be added Soviet Tanks it is needed.

I don't mind the traverse or ROF quite so much, I'd just like some better accuracy (though I wouldn't exactly be adverse to getting traverse back or an ROF increase).  TD's have to sit well away from the front lines for optimal effectiveness, and having relatively poor accuracy doesn't mix well with that role.

I just got mine and I haven't found a problem with it. Is the accuracy great? No, but its easy to work around. I have been irritated by missed shots but my accuracy is still above %75+.

Now I'm not a very good player my combat efficiency is only a 904 or something like that. With this tank though I'm getting more kills then I do in other tanks. This tank is easy to work around its problems.

You know, now that you mention it... I've been in games where I've shot and I see absolutely nothing come from my tank. I'm referring to the ghost rounds, I thought it was just poor aim on my behalf. But the more and more I read through other peoples posts about the 704, I find myself reading the same thing about "ghost rounds". I was in a game on Abbey a few days ago, I was about 10 meters away from an E75, I was fully aimed in, in sniper mode, shoot, and I see nothing come from my tank, no indication of whether I hit him or bounced off of him, nothing.

Better accuracy and RoF?  The gigantic gun that routinely hits for 1000 damage and penetrates almost every surface of every tank in the game with ease isn't enough??

And how do you know this?, you have no experiance with the BL-10 so your basing your knowledge on something you think you know, if you did have any time in game playing with the BL-10, you would know that it needs some changing, some may disagree with my opinion who have played using this cannon in either the ISU or the Object and thats just fine, there opinion is welcome, yours is not.

This is one of my favorite tanks in the game. The only thing i'd like to see changed about it has nothing to do with the tank but the gimped mechanics currently present. IE: Zero damage penetrating hits on parts of tanks that should clearly damage. With the long reload and extreme damage that should be dealt, it's very frustrating to see zero damage pens.

Mostly by being two-shot by ISU's and Objects over, and over, and over...

Armor never helps, they're always quite accurate when shooting at me, and 900 to 1,000 damage is pretty much the norm.

Well thats the shots that actually hit you, your oblivius to the two, or even three shots that missed you prior to whacking you.

Zero % crits and ghost shells really hurts this tank to be sure because of its long reload. It's a great tank though regardless, and depending on the roll of the dice even the best.

1: I'd like to take at least 1 sec off ROF

2: A bit better accuracy.  This gun can be incredibly wild between shots

The rest i can deal with.
