Tanks Reforged is back, taking on German mediums, various Premium tanks, and more!
Tanks Reforged is the initiative that overhauls vehicles from World War II mode and brings them in line with today’s battle standards.
And make no mistake: After a month-long hiatus, this initiative is back in full force! For the return edition of Tanks Reforged, the team has decided to update the iconic tanks in the World War II Leopard 1 line along with several Premium vehicles AND vehicles with guns that appeared to be underperforming.
Take a look at the rebalancing details below to start. Then continue reading to see how to make the Tech Tree vehicles yours with On-Track.
TECH TREE VEHICLES
German Tier X Leopard 1 Medium Tank
The Leopard 1 is a cross between a light and medium tank that is best played from a distance. To help it fit into this role a bit better, we’ve increased its top speed, making it one of the fastest Tier X mediums.
Being able to move and shoot is an important part of the tank’s effectiveness due to its lack of armor, so a substantial improvement was made to its gun handling when moving.
Details:
German Tier IX Leopard Prototyp A Medium Tank
Similar to the Leopard 1, we’ve improved the Leopard Prototyp A’s move-and-shoot capabilities and also increased the damage from the Kanone to improve the stock performance. Fully upgraded, this tank’s performance is doing well, but it’ll benefit from the chassis dispersion improvements.
Details:
German Tier VIII
Indien-Panzer Medium Tank
The L/56 stock gun was removed, as it was just a bad gun for this tier. Players now will start off with the L/71 gun, allowing them to be competitive from the first battle.
The Kanone received the same damage improvements as it received at Tier IX along with overall better DPM.
Details:
German Tier VII VK 30.02 (D) Medium Tank
We’ve removed the stock gun so that players start off with a solid, functional weapon to use.

GUN CHANGES
While we’re at it…
The following vehicles are having their stock guns removed due to poor performance. We didn’t want to delay making these changes, so we’re addressing them now for the benefit of players who might be working on these lines.
There were also some additional improvements made while making these adjustments.
Soviet Tier IX Object 704 Tank Destroyer
Details:
French Tier X Bat.-Châtillon 25 t Medium Tank
We’ve added an additional two clips’ worth of ammo.
Details:
Czechoslovakian Tier VIII
TVP VTU Koncept Medium Tank
We’ve also made some general gun performance improvements, as this tank needed a bit more than just the stock gun removal.
Details:
PREMIUM VEHICLES
German Tier VIII leKpz M 41 90 mm Light Tank
and
These lights were a bit sluggish compared to the competition, so their engine horsepower has been increased for a much better power/weight ratio.
Details:
American Tier VIII
M41B Brazilian Bulldog Light Tank
The Brazilian Bulldog was in need of the same horsepower increase as the tanks above, as they’re very similar vehicles with slightly different guns.
Details:
German Tier VIII M48A2 Räumpanzer Medium Tank
and
The extra armor on each of these tanks is easily bypassed by the very large turret cupola. The same changes made to the cupola on the other Pattons have been brought to these tanks.
They’ve also received the same damage increase, penetration, and accuracy for the 9cm gun, so they can be more competitive while still having a lower DPM, due to the armor advantages.
Details:
German Tier VIII
Panzer 58 Mutz Medium Tank
The Panzer 58 Mutz has received increased health compared to the Wraith to make up for its lack of spaced armor protection. It also had its handling while moving improved due to its higher speed.
The damage of the 9cm Kanone has been increased to match the changes made to the Tech Tree vehicles.
Details:
German Tier VIII
Wraith Panzer 58 Medium Tank
Because the Wraith has protection from its spaced armor, it received just the 9cm Kanone improvements.
