The good, the bad, and the ugly of 7.5, abridged:
The Headliners
Bonus content for reading my overview: the 7.5 Matchmaking Chart!

The Headliners
- 3 new maps
- Tier X Mediums and TDs
- Black Prince premium British medium, along with Super Pershing and Dickermax
- "reworked MatchMaking [...] normally players won't see vehicles +/- 2 Tier to the Tier of his vehicle"
- Tier II-III TDs: all around performance reductions
- Tier VII-IX French TDs: reductions mostly to RoF and maneuverability
- Tier V-VIII French Artillery: reductions via dispersion and gun elevation
- Tier VI-IX USSR Heavies: improvements mostly to turret rotation
- Tier IX Mediums: better matchmaking, improvements to T-54, adjustments to Patton, reductions to E-50
- IS-4, Maus, E-100: improvements in survivability, increased accuracy but reduced RoF for E-100 150mm gun
- Select Tier IV-VIII USSR mediums and TDs: Rebalanced, does not appear to be as much of a nerf as before
- Select Tier II-IV vehicles will see increased credit gain or reduced repair cost
- Tier VI-VII US Mediums and turreted TDs will have reduced earning potential
- Löwe is receiving a small (5%) boost to earning potential and decrease (8%) to repair costs
- M6A2E1 is receiving a large (25%) boost to earning potential and decrease (30%) to repair costs
- AMX 12t moved to Tier VI for free. Crew, equipment, consumables move with it. Free Tier V ELC AMX with 100% crew
- Free camo for the ELC if you purchase it on the AMX 12t before the switch
- AMX 13 75, 13 90, Lorraine each moved up a tier
- Batchat 25t moved to Tier X with increased performance

7.5 update said:
E-100:
- +100 HP
- +5% to accuracy
- +1.1 sec of top gun reloading
#7 Posted Jul 12 2012 - 11:17
on the bright side my E-100 will not be as useless now as it used to be
#10 Posted Jul 12 2012 - 11:19
a question: if I don't have 100mm mounted on bat but researched, would I still have 105mm unlocked?

Name| Profit| Repair Cost
M4A3E8_Sherman| -7%| +20%
Jumbo| -6%| +35%
M4A3E8_Sherman| -7%| +20%
Jumbo| -6%| +35%
When you raised the repair costs and decreased the earnings for the E8 and Jumbo in 7.2 there was such an outcry you decided to go with a much milder nerf.
And now you're basically going to do what you were originally planning to do back then...
Neat.

Lol. It was that and the pairing of the gun that made it just so damn good at its level.
+ Looks like the Lowe is going to be 5% more profitable..! They mis-colored the repair though, it's getting a -8% to current repair cost... so even more so profitable. Hahaha. :/

"+1.1 second of top gun reloading" is terrible english to start with. Who knows what they meant.
Should have wrote "Increased duration of reload time by 1.1 seconds." (To be more clear if anything)

And I'm not going to lie, I don't think the 200 HP added to the Maus will make it any better..

I am surprised there has not been a line of British tanks, given that the British basically were the first to deploy the tank in war. The other thing I would like to see is not every one having an American accent. The Germans could speak English with a German Accent. The Russians with a Russian accent, the French with a croak. That would make the experience so more authentic. It is the little things that count!

I'm curious to see how much a hp buff they will give the IS-4, with their increased durability.

Additional comments:
1. КВ-13 ..... I assume this is suppose to be KV-13, please don't use Google translate when doing official articles.
2. Tier 5 AMX 12t combat statistics will be moved to the tier 5 AMX 12t without any losses: I assume the tier 5 stats stay at tier 5 (not the AMX 12t).
3. M26 Pershing players should be delighted to learn that their repair costs are being significantly reduced.: this is not reflected at the table below. (also don't talk about German tanks having it bad and then lower the cost for American tanks).

So this means... 15cm drops from 3.18 rounds per minute to just 3.0... just great!
