This time, the team made balance changes across several U.S. vehicle lines. Get the details below!
Tanks Reforged is the initiative that overhauls vehicles from World War II mode and brings them in line with today’s battle standards.
Usually, each edition of Tanks Reforged focuses on one Tech Tree line and adds a few other vehicles that fit thematically. This time, however, the team cast a wide net across the American Tech Tree!
In this Tanks Reforged, the main focus was to improve the following vehicles. Along with these, we’ve made some small tweaks here and there to the surrounding vehicles.
The T71 CMCD and the T71 DA are very similar tanks with the most notable difference being their guns. The T71 DA equips autoloader guns while the T71 CMCD equips single-fire guns. With the T71 CMCD being single-fire, it’s not capable of defending itself as easily, resulting in a low survival rate that impacts other areas of performance.
To address this, we’ve improved its health and also gave it a slightly better reload time.
The M6 was lacking in survivability compared to other heavies at its tier.
We’ve improved its armor to be more in line with the armor on others and also improved the stock gun’s DPM to make up for its lack of penetration and damage.
Compared to the Jumbo, the Easy 8 is more mobile but less armored. The current differences aren’t enough to make up for the armor difference, so we’ve made further improvements to its ability to shoot on the move along with health improvements, since it’s a fairly large target.
Moving from Tier III to Tier IV has affected the balance of these vehicles in their matches, so further adjustments were needed to make up for this change.
We’ve adjusted the matchmaking to Tier IV only, as the gun is too weak for Tier V enemies and no longer dominates over the lower tiers. Along with this, the health and view range has been improved to values more appropriate for the current tier.
We’ve increased the speed and DPM to keep up with the competition.
