I feel the Grille was underpowered as when you have a Taran and a T110E4 exists, was no real reason to own one. Since the Buff, i feel it's more competitive but again, the Taran is simply better. I'd put Taran in S Tier and now i'd put Grille in A Tier. If Taran got nerfed as it should (but won't because $$$) then Grille may move to S Tier. Accuracy buff probably wasn't needed. Gun Arc is welcome but is it too much? Probably but fits with Borsig and Baby Waffle (Grille). Camo Buff was needed. Overall i think it's a good change for the tank.

Time to dust this one off. I enjoy your insights and observations.

Wait, WHAAAAT??? GRILLE NOW TURNS 360* WITH TURRET? WHAAAAAAAAAT

I never have time to play anymore, but watching your vids at least keeps me in the spirit.

More than 3 months away from WoT, and I don't want to play this game again. But nice video!! Sometimes I watch your gameplays

The camo and turret buff is exactly what the doctor ordered for this tank. I'm at 91% on my 3 mark grind I think this will help push me over the 95. This tank is great now

Absolute beast of a game GG. About time the grille got a buff. Might have to dig this out for some games 👌🏻

Bro just runs over your cover... love the teammates

Great game 👍

TL:DR - They buffed the wrong tanks and arty is costing WG players. BEST CHANGE IDEA - Hitting the same tank with arty too many times in a row should spot the Arty that hit it. This would spread out the pain and prevent people from being focused. You could also make it so that relocating would lower the "Spotted meter" for arty. This would force them into a more active role. Forcing a more cat-mouse gamestyle on arty would make it more exciting. This would bring artillery against artillery to the forefront and make the tank less brainless. You could also add informational warfare. Arty could be responsible for decrypting puzzles that can ping an area where an unspotted tank is. This would ALSO have the effect of making camo less overpowered. If the unspotted tanks area gets pinged again with it in it, it gets spotted for 3 seconds. The 5/22/24 Tuesday update was a travesty. They buffed SO MANY TANKS and almost NONE of them needed a buff. Most of the tanks were tier 6 and below. There were only 4-6 tier 10 tank changes. The VZ55 definitely needed a slight nerf and I think they handled that well. The E100 got basically nothing. Just .1 and .01 changes, which is literally is a 1-2% change. All the E100 needed was a slight buff to the lower plate, a buff to the aim time, pen, and general handling to the small gun to make it a viable choice, and a handling buff to the big gun to make it less derpy. All the machine needed was a standard pen buff and I would have been willing to trade +3 seconds on the reload for that. The arty nerf seems to have been reversed at some point since it was implemented. Their fire rate is insane. New players are getting permatracked and quitting before tier 5. 2 batchat arty can permatrack an E100 with a repair build and cause 2k-2800 health. ALL the bar needed was 3 degrees of gun depression. That's it. Just enough to actually hit tanks sitting in front of it. The Ruthless needing a buff is only because the AVRE exists. The Ruthless has a 31 second reload (Down from 33) . That is Balanced. It has more armor than the 215b 183, so the reload is longer. Perfect. I was PRAYING for an AVRE nerf. People are still grouping up in 3 stacks with them and ROLLING my team in minutes. The taran needs either a camo nerf or a speed nerf, or an accuracy nerf. The camo nerf would be the least intrusive to tank feel. Right now it is 327 and that is too good for a TD that gets extra camo reduction from camo net. Bring it up to at LEAST 360 and it would be somewhat more balanced. I would argue for 380. The 215b, bless its poor heart, only has enough ammo to continuously fire for 3 minutes. ALL it needs is 50 rounds of ammo, at least to make it more competitive against the Conq. The t55a, german t9 prem, has 238 standard pen. That is EXTREMELY low. Bring it to 245 at least. Superheavies need the better 75% spall liner back in the game. They are getting shredded by arty AND all of the new derp TDs. The maus, type 5, and E100 are just massive punching bags right now. IS7 standard pen is too low. Andre the Giant needs a reload buff OR a speed buff. As it is right now, it is pretty pathetic. STB-1 needs an accuracy buff. The gun feels REALLY derpy for a medium. 113 needs either gun handling buffs or a few more degrees of depression to compete with other t10 heavies. Kranvagn needs a better intraclip OR better standard and prem pen. Maybe a slight reload boost as well. All of the big derp tanks have rendered this tank to garbage. Bringing it in line with PC would be fine. Progetto needs a reload buff. DPM is simply too poor in this meta and it isn't worth running because of the derp tanks and better options. Hardcase needs a pen buff and vision range buff to be competitive. The main issue is that this feels like a league of legends buff. I never played league (thank god), but boy have I heard people rant about changes. League changes things just to change them, not because they needed change. Most of the changes in this update were extremely minimal, like the E100. THE largest problem for WOT as a company right now is the low tier experience. I have introduced 12+ people to wot in the last 2 years and ALL BUT 1 have quit BEFORE TIER 5 because of arty. In the last year, I introduced two people. BOTH quit because they got permatracked in low tier. They asked me what they did wrong. I said "You didn't do anything wrong. You just got unlucky." They quit on the spot when they found out that arty is in most matches and often is seen in pairs on the enemy team. I simply do not understand WHY wg is keeping arty in such a bad state when it is literally costing them customers. At least in the dark souls series the answer is to learn how to dodge. In COD, you might die, but you can come right back and try again. In Elden ring, you can overlevel or get good. There are always responses to mechanics in other games. There isn't against arty in wot.

this tank is fucking great now before there was zero reason to play as other tanks had more armor better alpha and camo now the grille can compete

Another nightmare after the taran and the centurion

Finally they did that thank god

It is good that they buffed Grille, now hopefully if wg are serious about levelling the playing field between destroyers they will accordingly buff more tds that need it. Hopefully, they buff the jagdpanzer this time properly instead of the 2km/h reverse speed it got last time, because it seriously needs a buff.

Nice they maid two tanks more op than they already were, Grille and E100. And nerfing tanks that didn't need it like the minotauro

Will you give your opinion on Leopard buff too? I think leopard can be the next OP tank in the game. Hilarious 420 alpha, and APCR gold ammo with 1640m/s velocity?? Wtf

Fantastic game, congrats on 12.5K, did they ever nerf the ARVE after all the outrage?

They should of just buffed the camo and kept the turret not fully rotating

Have a look at the e100 camping, he didn't even drive 100 yards. Damn, that just does my head in and is why many like myself stopped playing. gg, nonetheless.

360???? NO CAMO????

Arty players complain so they get the most broken over-powered gun characteristics??? Is this the new meta
