These reinvigorated tigers are ready to hunt. Take a look below at the balance changes they’ve received!
Tanks Reforged is the initiative that overhauls vehicles from World War II mode and brings them in line with today’s battle standards.
For this edition, in honor of our newly launched season, we’ve overhauled the Tiger tanks and other behemoths in the line, along with related Premium vehicles and even a Mercenary tank. These fighters have sharpened their claws and are just waiting to be let loose in battle!
Take a look at the rebalancing details below to start. Then continue reading to see how to make the Tech Tree vehicles yours with On-Track!
E 100 Line
Generally, these tanks do pretty well when fully upgraded, but it can be a bit of a struggle to get to that point at times, depending on the vehicle.
The majority of the changes made were to improve the grind, as the performance difference between stock and fully upgraded was too far apart. As you upgrade your vehicle, its performance will continue to improve, but you should feel that you are no longer at such a disadvantage when not fully upgraded. The VK 30.01 (H) had the worst cases of a bad stock grind, as the first two guns that you mounted were completely ineffective in battle, so we removed them.
In the lower tiers, the 10,5 cm Kw.K L/28 gun was also performing extremely poorly. Looking into this, we found that players were using the default ammo type (AP) in battle since it was the default round loaded. This is likely due to players being new to the game and not understanding the different types of ammo and guns yet. As a result, they might not have known that HE is the more beneficial round to use for this gun. To address this, we simply changed the ammo loadout order so that HE is the default round loaded and moved the AP as the third option. This should result in players being more effective now that they will use the better ammo option for this weapon.
NOTE: This ammo order change also affects the following tanks:
If a player owns the 10,5 cm Kw.K. L/28 gun on any of the impacted tanks, they will receive 100% Silver compensation for this gun upon login. They will need to re-equip the new version of the gun.
Similarly, if a player owns the 8,8 cm Kw.K. 36 L/56 on the Tiger I, they will receive 100% Silver compensation for this gun upon login. They will need to re-equip the new version of the gun.
Most of the line will also see turret armor improvements to provide better protection and have more reliable armor as a heavy tank. Use this new armor to take advantage of the improved DPM and tear apart your enemies!
Experience these updates for yourself! On-Track is the event that gives you Silver discounts and a +25% XP bonus on every tank in a specific Tech Tree line. With these, you’ll be able to claim all the tanks on the way to Tier X in no time!
