Bourrasque is the holy grail right now at T8. And you have too keep in mind the values dropped because WG sold the tank recently on EU. I think it had 100-150 more before.

Wotgarage values are not correct. Here a website with values which are much closer to reality (markmod) https://gunmarks.poliroid.ru/ Hardest T8: Hardest T10:

What do the numbers in the brackets mean?

Even after the buffs noone will play it. Compared to Progetto or Bourasque it still sucks. Sure Wehraboos will play it more often. Even compared to the other 280 alpha med TL1LPC it gets the short end of the stick. Panther has dpm but everything else is worse. The Panther was designed and balanced for a game 5-6 years ago. And it was already weak back then. But I don´t think they will increase the price for the shell on the live server. 400 credits more for 40dmg? Nah people will start crying and WG will keep it as it is or only increase the shell costs by the amount of dmg.

I won one in the french and made two times to the top places. Out of three battles. The key is to run away. See an enemy which looks strong? Run! If you play like a coward it will benefit your score. I try to level up as fast as possible and only engage enemies when they are low level or fighting others. Basically I played like an asshole but it worked. But my favorites are the US and UK tanks. Both are very similar and provide medium gameplay with good consumables.

Making Gold Rounds available for credits was a mistake. This change alone created probably the biggest balance issue the game has. Before tanks could be balanced around normal rounds. Be it weakspots or good (high pen) standard rounds etc. Very few people actually used gold rounds, so no balance issues there. Once they made it available for everyone is were the problem started. Balancing gold rounds with credits does not work at all for the good/rich players. I can shoot gold all day long. I wont run out of credits. Therefore I can pen enemies much easier. Others don´t have this luxury and still shoot normal rounds. Because of the "special" round spam certain tank types became obsolete and WG started the armor buffing. This made the gap between gold and normal round users even wider. If you have toptier tanks not willing or able to shoot gold it will drag your whole team down.

if you play the 88/100 over the L7 you are playing the tank wrong.

This is what people already said the last time the 88/100 got buffed into having best T9 dpm. And still noone uses it. Alpha is just too low for trading. Nahh firepower still meh. WG did not change any gun handling stats. Take T34-2 as example. By far the worst gun handling of all 122mm meds. Tank: T44 (122) / T34-3 / T34-2 moving 0,14 0,16 0,20 tank traverse 0,14 0,16 0,20 turret traverse 0,14 0,12 0,12 And don´t bother with the 100mm. Here T44 and Type59 are better. And nerfing all the shell velocities must be one of the most retarded things I have seen by WG. After all the years finally a buff for the copycat tanks. But as we can´t have nice things, have it combined with a nerf.

so can a KV2. It all comes down to hitting more reliably. Sure gun handling is still one of the best but giving up even better gun handling is rly one of the trade offs WG was talking about.

tl;dr Chinese tanks will still be a much worse version of the russian counterparts Panthers will stay shit. E50M is weak They had such a good opportunity to make the E50 line something special. Just give them the new turbo feature the polish have and call it a day. A boosted E50 full ramming power wouldn´t hurt the game but surely would make it fun. And people who are concerned about realism. Not like anyone actually cares after all the fake polish tanks. German Meds with gas turbines were actually considered/planned.

Is S-tier now Super-tier (good) or Shit-tier(bad)?

but i don´t want to lose the ability to snap on the move.

I will definitely try my Bat with a VStab + Rotation combi. Maybe after all the years the gunhandling will be bearable. On my scouts I already plan to go for optic + vision. I just cant figure out what my third slot is going to be on my EBR. VStab or Vents.

the only TD worth playing in this line. Yeah I know the T6 (i think it was) is also OK, but who counts stuff below T8 anyway? T8 techtree tank is pure dog shit and T10 is boring bushwanker. But this thing is a bushwanker with a T10 TD gun. 395 HEAT is just unnecessary but that makes it fun.
