I mean it got a buff, so I think that's why its pretty strong. I've been running calibrated shells on the Y5 Firefly which is 137 standard (11 pen short of the comet) and there is no way I can pen it (except a lower strip on the hull, for which I almost always have to be in close proximity to it) . Even if I have APCR on gun rammer, I can barely seem to pen it with 180 pen. I've only found some form of success with APCR on calibrated with 189 and even that seems to be trollish.

 

If anything, I've found it more 'easier' to pen its cupola

 

Idk but that's how my experience has been. Still 57.62% means it is quite a strong tank it seems.

It's got a very squishy bottom and slow turret traverse.

Does the Lowe really need buffing?

 

Remove the Kv2 from the 5x5 skirmish. Bloody ridiculous having 4 smasher or Kv2 in a single battle on one side.

That Vickers CR winrate says it all

It is a very strong tank but the problem with the WG approach is there is bias in the results because they only use the 55-65% players it will tend to over-state the strength of the tank.  Jylpah’s approach to use relative WR is a much better reflection of the impact of a tank and it’s OP’ness as if a 50% player is running a 55+ WR it is clearly OP, having said that it’s still well up there...

No!

Even with WG’s data it doesn’t need a buff!

 

KV-5 and T28+Charioteer are interesting ones according to WG they are worst performing heavy and TD so we should expect a buff...

but KV-5 is actually doing fine...

https://blitzanalysi...ks/#relative-wr
T28 not so good, down the bottom but nowhere near the worst, the poor Charioteer & SU-101 need some love!  The Charioteer is fine in Unicum hands but is a nightmare for the majority of the player base!

Especially in the hands of the muppets I get on my team. Hardly played mine. 4 games in the last 90 days, 85 in total.

Ribblestripe, I hope you and the rest of the team are safe and well and that the current trouble reaches a safe and peaceful conclusion.

Totally agree with the above post

Here! Here!  I know I rage about WG but it's just a game and is irrelevant rly so I hope all at WG and in Belarus are safe during this situation and can find a way to address it peacefully although with the dictatorship in control I fear that is a forlorn hope....

Did anyone know that the b1 armour is getting a nerf?
And the Matilda armour.
And the bdr G1 armour.
B1 made useless.
Matilda made useless(can pen it's turret with gold now)
And the bdr made useless(at least while hulldown. It's cupola and the box besides the turret are going to be pennable by equal tiered tanks now.)

WG could have made a killing by replacing the 183 in the tech tree with the Badger, and then selling it as a 'new' collectors' tank for 20,000 gold... that's what I would have done!
