Developer Diaries: Italian Heavy Tanks 

Xdd

waiting for your vids

We don't know Dez any specific yet, if tier 10 will have 5 seconds interclip reload and bad gun handling like IS3-A, it might be just a Meeh. :)

Its manticore on steroid

Nose go big

exactly what I was thinking

Looks a bit too strong in the hull for sure, the turret is similar to many tier 8 heavies in that you shouldn't even try shooting it. Also with the weight restriction and good mobility, the side armour may be overmatched by a lot of tanks, meaning the tank cannot use it's armour effectively

The uper hull can be pened by tier nines and some tier 8s but the turret looks op so I hope it has a little weak point on top .

Oh hell no that isnt a chieftain turret, it looks like an XM-1!

the turret is too small, plus with the minus 10 degree gun it's gonna be op af man. I'm afraid not even HE spam on the rooftop could counter it but then again, why do WG even bother trying to design a balance vehicle? they will 100% make it op because people vote for it by money and we always love op thing

Yep and waitin for it

better to start saving then

@@XLG_Europebe The Myssiah, perhaps. That or WG are just hella predictable!

*DO IT!*

Can't just mention the fiat 2000 like that and not give it to us smh

That's what I keep on suggesting.

yes thats why they should not skip lower tiers, at least 4, 5 and 6. We could get decent cool tanks to play and leave 1, 2 and 3 for the newbies.

that means russian tanks stay OP...

bruh

Do Czechoslovakian it's unfair

Hmm so skoty made it this vid as well

thats what i was thinking looks alot like the c1 ariete

@@Chronesys indeed, the turret is almost like British Tier 10 Light Tank Manticore's turret

@@Chronesys yeah, but Stb 1 is an exception

AEG in Germany we say to Fiat "Fehler in allen Teilen" what means: "Fail in every part" XD and i think it's beautiful

FIAT FOR THE MEMES

@@i.b.9946 Bcuz its like a Main Battle Tank

@@i.b.9946 :D

@@i.b.9946 Oh idk you tell me

@@Chronesys Nah i think it's probably the best looking vehicle in game. not only by the hull but also thanks to this badass looking futuristic crewless turret.

@@Chronesys it's med and it look more like T8 premium one still prefere the way of Rhino look.

its actually looks like the italian MBT-70 concepts (they joined the project near the end)

Tier 11-15

No joke it looks extremely similar to the GM XM-1

@@matthiuskoenig3378 BTW, MBT-70 (or German version of it) is available in WoT Blitz at tier 9

@@SirNyanPanda with shittier stats iirc, half power diesel (750 horsepower) and shitty autoloader for XM150 rifled gun (3 shots per minute).

AKA, Don't make the Russians cry.

2014 player here, I don't know what they are thinking at Wargaming's HQ, but they are making this game more and more arcade with every single new relase since 1.0 All the tanks became a generic OP medium-heavy tank mixture. Every tank moves fast, every tank has the max. spotting range with equipment, every tank has the best DPM, every tank hides best etc. It will be the death of this game what they are now doing to make profit by setting the game's pace faster. One another game, the World of Warplanes, which they made too arcade from the beginning was so childish that it interested no player base other than very young people and had to be re-relased because it completely died. Please, Wargaming; do not make this game like the Fortnite. Spotting and concealment mechanics are awful, tanks that can make clutch-shot's are too many, maps are small, too much luck based vice versa..

What balance?

@@doruk2000st fortnite makes so much more money, maybe wg wants to make money to the old style of wot gameplay is dieing out

@@downhillfriday4118 the tier 9 looks really strong too, it looks like it has basically no cupola so if its turret is good we might have a tier 9 autoloading chieftain in the game...

@@downhillfriday4118 depends on the gun handling and dpm, if they do it well, it could be balanced.

@@eksquisite when was that really the case tho, apart from something like the 50b or t57 I don't know any autopen turrets, even the e100 is like a 50/50 for most tanks now.

@@eksquisite the only new introduction where shooting gold at it really neglects all the turret armour was the is-3-2 but I'd not say it's the norm

the premium seems to be based on the italian concepts for MBT-70 (which they joined late on), the tier X looks like a concept i have seen about a future MBT concept which was put in an italian magazine in 1980 (similar to the french Char Futur 4). the Tier 7 looks like an enlarged version of the M16/43 (hence the reference to british turning light tanks into heavies, as its a light medium that has been turned into a heavy). I haven't heard of such italian plans but *shrug* the tier 8 looks like a modified american medium, i have heard rumours of an italian proposed upgrade abandoned due to the americans giveing them M60s, perhaps it is based on those rumours (or blueprints if true) the tier 9 is probably based on the italian FINABEL 'blueprints' (2 of the others were used to create the current medium tier 9 and 10), the ones available on the internet are not from a reliable source, but we know they did create their own...

Out of nowhere. Those tanks come straight from WG's employees imagination.

Fake, just like the czech mediums. They may have been historical tanks as ideas, no blueprints.

@@josipcuric8767 czech mediums are real, for the most part. They had blueprints.

@@mintyexotic2769 the blueprints show in the czech meds video are fabricated

That would be acctually pretty nice :D But I think it will be in maraton in December. Also idk why it took them 1 year to make 4 tanks... But the T8 premium is already designed so you know how it goes :DDDD

LOL i think this is the case good point!

Where are the Swiss tanks, Mann?! Daaaamn...

Cezar Stefan 'SEGH' Jucan the Swiss have so many tanks and they could easily be made into the game. Many are not fake

@@cezarstefanseghjucan Well sadly they haven't even started work on them, i guess more people would need to talk about them before WG prioritizes them, since so far it seems like WG is focusing on expanding existing trees.

the MS - 1

@@theBhavMan NO THE MS 10

pretty much, nerfing tanks that shouldnt be nerfed and buffing ones that shouldnt be buffed or not buffing enough certain tanks, classic wg

oh you didnt catch it? He was talking about the tech tree tanks lmfao

the entire balancing of this game already got thrown out of window like a bag of trash right at the moment someone decide to dab the 2 key beside that, Russia tank's coupola somehow even thicker than most heavy tank frontal armour sum up perfectly the balance state of this game

cant break whats broken already.

@@blackwood4734 Russian light tanks have thicker turret (bounce more shots) than french heavy tanks xD

lmao as if something even resembling balance existed

2,7 aim time, i dont think that thing can pen anyone above 270m

Ever since the Russian got super armor the meta changed years ago.

Its only soft stats look qt rusky tanks lol if RNG says yes its a YES if no its a NO

@@tohkia8840 English please Muppet.

hi velocci this an nice tech tree but mine dream would be hungarian tech tree next

The Desert Fox After covering Hungarian tech tree proposals I too think they should be brought in. But I think the next new tech tree would be Switzerland as they have a lot more content :)

@@VelocciYT Both Both is good

Found you again!

@@tks2072 aaaaaaa stalker

U better add that in wargaming I will actually pay for it

@@randomshitpost8477 and holy ravioli

when you play the T9 and you get penned in the turret: HOW WAS THAT POSSIBLE??!

hi env1ro you too here?

@@herrfingerknacks4970of course!

Good luck and have a great time on the battlefield with it! :D -Sael_

True

@@bitkarek there is proposal on the internet and they found good elements to make heavy, light and td line and they are generally made in Czech design,without Soviet or any other nation elements in chassis or guns.

@@bitkarek In theory, there is enough vehicles/blueprints for every single class. There were a plenty of light tanks in development after ww2 (mostly intended for export). Leták tank is a great example of this. For TDs, there is a possibility of 2 branches: one turreted the other one without turret. Both were supposed to be built on the TVP chassis, so their mobility would be quite great. Arty could also appear, but another SPG branch is the last thing this game needs. However, there were some interesting vehicles, like 150mm gun on top of Škoda T-25 chassis or DANA, a wheeled SPG with 152mm howitzer. In theory, even heavy tanks could be added. Now, there is no official documentation about the development of heavy tanks in Czechoslovakia. They may not have even existed, or maybe they did and the documentation was simply lost (a big portion of archives was destroyed/went missing when socialism in Czechoslovakia fell). Historical accuracy is not that great of a deal in wot though, so here goes. In 1950s, CIA received a report about new tanks being tested in Czechoslovakia (this report is actually real and can be found online, since CIA declassified it several years ago). There was a new light tank with rear-mounted turret, as well as 6 heavy tank prototypes, also with rear-mounted turrets. It is possible that the person who wrote the report simply misidentified the vehicle. But perhaps (hopefully 😉🇨🇿), those vehicles actually once existed. Pipboy wot and pikpikker are great sources, they actually have full proposals of Czechoslovakian tech tree (both different). Also a guy here on YT named Velocci made good videos about possible Czechoslovakian tech tree branches, you can check it out if you want.

So sad ...

No plans for now, but we're always working on new tanks and projects so we might add it one day :) - Dwigt

I'm agree with you, the italian TDs can be a very good point un the game

feel ya, as a german it is sometimes really hilarious how they pronounce german words.

Yes. Italian person here, the pronunciation for Rinoceronte is lots of fun. :D -Sael_

@@deirasjankauskas3381 Yes but it reloads like a year... + it does not have armour

it's not much you know?if you compare it to the somua for example, the somua do 900 in 4.5s, and have still 2 shot to fire...... 1000 dmg in 6 seconds is not that high, even more if you need 40/50s to complete reload

If they undertune would be useless, they said the gun isnt vrry precise from distance so its balanced enough.

What about heavy armored pasta pan?

Why friendly fire tho? I feel like that was an improvement

@@biscuity7132 When tanks that are heavier than you push you down a cliff for no reason you got nothing to do but accept death, it was helpful then.

@@biscuity7132 Maybe to some extent. Not for me tho, especially when it comes to artillery. Now friendy SPGs can shoot next to your tank all day, trying to hit an enemy and also stunning YOU. If friendly fire would be ON, they would think (if artillery players even think) twice before they shoot next to you.

the wheeled vehicles would be alright, if they wouldnt have that ludicrously high HE penetration. They destroy the normal light tanks just with a few shots, thats what annoys me most. The speed is alright, they are balanced by their abysmal view range. Sometimes the wheeled light tanks can help to break camp-offs, so they are useful and should stay in the game, under the condition, that they receive a massive HE pen nerf. The wheeled light tanks should complement the normal light tanks, not replace them. Cos currently you have no chance to fight them with ur regular light tanks, so you have to avoid them, which can result that u cant spot effectively for ur team.

@@robinkhn2547 What about wheels swallowing 170mm Jagpanzer shells for 0 damage?

Autoreloading manticore

Exactly. Wargaming is truly stupid. Italian tanks in WOT vs Italian tanks irl.... gold vs dogshit

Wot full of fiction tank

i agree with you in part; yes Italy can't design tanks in a public way. but can continue in a private way (i never heard about "Rinoceronte" but the other a bit) :) In my opinion it will be better if WOT create the italian WWII tank destroyer line. in 40s they were build by the historic italian company "Ansaldo",. in base of the model, they were equipped by 75,90 or 105mm gun (a project without creation has the 127mm gun OTO MELARA....) Have a nice day!

They will balance it Im sure!

they have no historical basis, they are only fakes tank

@Olsonek rlly ?

@Olsonek :’

We will see what the Tier VIII will be - they're not out yet, so they might change quite a bit still. :) -Sael_

and 250mm penetration on AP

@@Zukovik yeah IT HT have almost 270 pen damn

hahah yeah, basically what they did with the current auto-reloading medium tanks, they removed the Gun Rammer as a mountable equipment option and therefore basically nerfing the DPM by 10 percent. But guess what, the Progetto 46 got a DPM buff the very same update, negating the effect that u can't use a gun rammer anymore. And the techtree counterpart, the P.44, did not receive such a buff, and that tank wasn't op. Just ludicrous what WG does sometimes...

LMFAO

we CAN GET it, haha jokes on you. Grind for 500k xp.

Thank you for spotting what matters. :D Sael_
