To paraphrase General Dwight D. Eisenhower:

Quote

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.

Every recent match played, every posting I have seen of late reminds me of this speech. I don't know why it just seems this way to me. Does anyone else feel this way?

[rtp099]

no... it's just you!

[commander3]

yes

Think about it this way.

Each and every tanker that I know was working in the Russian heavy line since the 7.3 changes were announced... Come tomorrow you will have thousands of tankers rolling onto the field with their "new" heavy monsters.

Include the reintroduction of the type-59 and the release of a new T10 and T9 tank (not to mention the current 5x bonus) that's a recipe for some dangerous MM.

[Grisbane]

well

1. players have been trying to reach the IS-4 before patch for the last month..  for those who succeeded, they will have a free tier 10, those who didn't..  too bad.

2. the dynamic of medium company battles is about to change dramatically with the death of the KV-3 (being moved to tier 7) for those that researched and got the KV-1s, their day of vengeance is here as it is now the top tier 6 heavy.

3. the dynasty of the KV is dead, no longer will it rule the tier 5 circuit.  BDR and PZ owners will have their revenge as they are now more powerful than the KV-1.  and expect to here whines about how the churchill is overpowered in tier 5, as the KV no longer can own it and it has little issues dispatching anything its tier and surviving, making a premium tank equal to, or superior to it's tier 5 counterparts.


4. this patch marks the most likely death of most of the german tier 10's for a while (until the german gun revamp)..  people don't believe me, but you will see for yourself, the new gun on the IS-8, IS-4, and ST-1 really does have very little issues penning those monsters and people running the e-100 and maus will get tired of being nothing more than free experience for another tank..  considering any other nation's tier 10 fills the slot the german 10 does better.

so in a sum, it is a d-day of sorts, this patch will dramatically change the playing field in a lot of ways, for some, it will be relief..  for others..  things just got worse.

I don't think dangerous even begins to describe it Shiven.

[MaxMike]

Pretty much exactly the same if you think trivial entertainment equals catastrophic war.

[BigDollarBillz]

been waiting for this patch for months. i can't wait for it.

[Mydragonsfly]

Reintroduction of the 59s have me worried, then again they got kamikized by a nerfing nuke so I dunno if Im just making my problems feel bigger than they actually are.

[Fazar]

I don't get it at all, most of the posts I've seen are people complaining about things getting fixed in 7.3 so no.. it doesn't remind me of D-Day.  More like a patch that has gone under the radar of the 'common' players.

yes, so make sure you bring your t110 and IS-7's so you can make the new tier 10 drivers rage on furums about their new tank

[legoo22]

Matchmakers gunna suck, lots of nooby tier 10 is4 drivers plus noobs coming out for the times 5s. So ya ill be saving my free day of prem for when things quite down a bit.

Re-worded for you:

"You are about to given a New Patch, toward which many have grinded these many months. The eyes of the developers are upon you. The hopes and prayers of balanced-loving people everywhere march with you.

Your fight will not be an easy one. The new tanks are unbalanced, well equipped, and battle hardened. They will fight with Russian bias."

Yeah, I don't know where you get that feeling from, but I can assume the KV tankers are playing agressively to get xp for whatever goodie they get for the KV in the 7.3 patch.

[IndygoEEI]

I just got to IS4 this morning.  Boy was it a painful grind this week from IS3 to IS4.  I spent a
a little gold, but considering how much two of the tanks cost, it was worth about 450.
