I think this is very obvious, but in case it is not, let me explain how Wargaming wants this game to develop. I'm seeing a lot of threads about "why wg nerf kran but now introduce italian td with good turret??". Here is why, Wargaming always wants you frustrated, all players should be frustrated at all times. Paying will reduce this frustration.

Here is how the meta works: Wargaming creates tanks that are absolutely impossible to win against in certain situations, while still being unfun to play. New Italian TD line is the perfect example of this.

The TD line is very unfun to play against. They have no weakspots frontally, impenetratable to even JPZ E100 HEAT rounds. It's a very rock paper scissors situation with not much room for playing around. If you meet a Defender, Bobject, Kran whatever who is hulldown, you always know you won't pen him.

On the other hand, it is not fun to play with these tanks either. They have low penetration, bad gun handling or bad mobility. See, with the new proposed Kranvagn nerf, the main problem isn't solved. It is still impossible to play against a hulldown Kran. It is just that it is more frustrating to play with Kranvagn now that it has worse gun handling and mobility. You will not kill Kranvangs more easier, they will just have less fun.

WG never adresses the main problem with tanks, they just make it more unfun to play with so that BOTH sides in an engagement use premium rounds and spend more money. 0.41 accuracy with BIA + %100 crew at tier 10? With 255 standard penetration? Who do you think is going to shoot standards with this new tier 10 TD and risk not penetrating lmao. Everyone will spam premium rounds. It also has paper armour everywhere else including top of the tank so arty will easily pen every single shot it fires. Another deliberate action for frustration.

So if you face this thing head on you WILL spam gold, because you can barely pen it even with gold, and he will use gold too because he has awful gun stats. This kind of game balance ensures that everyone spams gold and spends money on the game at all times. Removal of weakspots, creating hull down monsters is a deliberate game choice that WG pursues to ensure YOU spend money not because you like the game, but because you are frustrated otherwise.

Do not give them money if this game doesn't entertain you.
