NEWS

Chassis and gun improvements are the big news with these changes. Check out the specific info below!

Tanks Reforged is the initiative that overhauls vehicles from World War II mode and brings them in line with today’s battle standards.

This edition contains nothing but Tech Tree vehicles—specifically the French tank destroyers leading to and including the AMX 50 Foch (155). What did the team adjust to make these TDs better suited to the tiers they play at?

Take a look at the rebalancing details below to start. Then, read on to learn how On-Track makes it easy to make the rebalanced Tech Tree tanks yours!

TECH TREE TANKS

French Tier X AMX 50 Foch (155) Tank Destroyer

This tank is performing well, but we improved its reverse speed to help it pull back into cover more quickly.

Details:

  • Reverse speed: 13 -> 16

French Tier IX AMX 50 Foch Tank Destroyer

It’s also been performing really well… and it received the same improved reverse speed.

Details:

  • Both engines
    • Reverse speed: 13 -> 16

French Tier VIII AMX AC mle. 48 Tank Destroyer

We reduced dispersion penalties for the chassis and guns to account for the limited gun arc of these non-turreted TDs. This allows you to switch and engage targets more accurately with less time spent waiting for your aiming circle to shrink.

These changes will result in your ability to engage and do damage to the enemy, which will increase your overall performance.

Details:

  • Health: 1,000 -> 1,200
    • Health burn per second: 75 -> 90
    • Repair cost per HP: 9 -> 7.5
  • All engines
    • Reverse speed: 13 -> 16
  • Chassis 1
    • Shot dispersion penalty during movement: 0.24 -> 0.2
    • Shot dispersion penalty during rotation: 0.24 -> 0.2
  • Chassis 2
    • Shot dispersion penalty during movement: 0.22 -> 0.18
    • Shot dispersion penalty during rotation: 0.22 -> 0.18
  • 90mm AC DCA 45 Gun
    • Shot dispersion penalty during turret rotation: 0.12 -> 0.08
  • 100mm AC SA47 Gun
    • Shot dispersion penalty during turret rotation: 0.16 -> 0.12

French Tier VII AMX AC mle. 46 Tank Destroyer

We reduced the dispersion penalties for the chassis and guns, with the top 100mm gun receiving a fairly substantial improvement in this area. It was being penalized too heavily in multiple areas and will now be much more comfortable to use, which will lead to an increase in performance.

Details:

  • All engines
    • Reverse speed: 12 -> 16
  • Chassis 1:
    • Shot dispersion penalty during movement: 0.26 -> 0.22
    • Shot dispersion penalty during rotation: 0.26 -> 0.22
  • Chassis 2:
    • Shot dispersion penalty during movement: 0.24 -> 0.2
    • Shot dispersion penalty during rotation: 0.24 -> 0.2
  • 90 mm AC canon DCA 30 Gun
    • Penetration: 135/175/45 -> 145/194/45
      • AP: 135/122 -> 145/129 (100m/500m)
      • APCR: 175/160 0> 194/168 (100m/500m)
    • Shot dispersion penalty during turret rotation: 0.1 -> 0.8
  • 90 mm AC DCA 45 Gun
    • Shot dispersion penalty during turret rotation: 0.14 -> 0.1
  • 100 mm AC SA47 Gun
    • Aim time: 2.9 -> 2.5
    • Shot dispersion penalty during turret rotation: 0.2 -> 0.12

French Tier VI ARL V39 Tank Destroyer

We removed the stock 75mm gun, as it was completely ineffective at this tier. This vehicle will now use the 90mm AC canon DCA 30 Gun as the stock gun instead.

We also improved some of the dispersion penalties, as this was a problem found throughout most of the line that was affecting their performance.

Details:

  • 75mm AC SA44
    • Removed
  • 90mm AC canon DCA 30 Gun
    • Penetration: 135/175/45 -> 145/194/45
      • AP: 135/122 -> 145/129 (100m/500m)
      • APCR: 175/160 -> 194/168 (100m/500m)
    • Shot dispersion penalty during turret rotation: 0.12 -> 0.1

    • Gun 3: 90mm AC DCA 45

French Tier V S35 CA Tank Destroyer

This vehicle was performing too well due to its high penetration, high alpha damage, and good accuracy. We toned down these weapons a little, but they’ll still be very effective in battle.

Details:

  • 17 pdr AT Gun MK. II
    • Accuracy: 0.36 -> 0.4
    • Shot dispersion during turret rotation: 0.16 -> 0.12
  • 90mm AC canon DCA 30
    • Penetration: 135/175/45 -> 145/194/45
      • AP: 135/122 -> 145/129 (100m/500m)
      • APCR: 175/160 -> 194/168 (100m/500m)
    • Reload: 8.4 -> 8.8
    • Shot dispersion penalty during turret rotation: 0.2 -> 0.12
  • 105mm AC mle. 1930 S
    • Accuracy: 0.41 -> 0. 44
    • Reload: 12 -> 12.5

  • Chassis 1:
    • Terrain resistance: 1.4/1.6/2.7 -> 1.2/1.4/2.5
  • Chassis 2:
    • Terrain resistance: 1.3/1.5/2.5 -> 1/1.2/2.3
