I never got my invite, so didn’t get to go in there, but I’ve seen enough to know the situation is quite dire. Only, the 5.1 Open Test server mostly shows 5.3 things. They’re currently just testing it WG says, and aren’t meant to implement the tech tree balances for the low tiers until 5.3. The first thing shared with me from the Open Test server was Kenny. My beloved little monster Kenny, which is my go-to tank if things are especially bad and I want to do a little clubbing to cool down and end with a nice win. Kenny, that’s completely broken, which was supposed to have a 9 sec clip reload, but accidentally only got a 3 sec clip reload.

Kenny, that Wargaming promised we’d get to keep and that would never be nerfed. That same Kenny is getting nerfed to hell. If this update happens as it is intended right now, Kenny will go from a 4 rounds clip to a 2 rounds clip, get nerfed in damage, get a clip reload of 6 seconds instead of 3.

“Oh, but it’s completely OP, so that’s just fine”, I’ve heard people say, but they’re not thinking of the bigger picture. With this, Wargaming isn’t just nerfing Kenny. With this, Wargaming is setting a precedent and will be able to nerf any and all premium tanks, if the community doesn’t speak up about it. The Kenny is just one prem tank, but it’s not just one prem-tank that’s getting nerfed to hell with this update. Another example is the tier II T1E6, which is also an autoloader, which will also be nerfed very badly if this happens as they now project it. They also have a smaller capacity than their autoloader counterparts so they don't have the same potential DPM.These are tanks that people spend real money on. This advantage over an autoloader is balanced by increasing the time it takes to reload as the drum empties. An autoreloader, on the other hand, has the same rapid-fire option but players can also interrupt the reloading process to shoot rather than having to wait until it's completely refilled. Once the rounds have been depleted the player must wait a fairly lengthy amount of time for it to reload entirely. This is not to be confused with similarly named autoloader.Īn autoloader – also commonly referred to as a drumloader by players – allows players to rapidly fire an entire magazine of rounds. If you also play World of Tanks then you'll know that a few Italian medium tanks have a different type of gun called an autoreloader. The headline update is the addition of 5 Italian medium tanks. World of Tanks Blitz, Wargaming's popular alternative to their other tank MMO, is getting a large number of updates in the form of several new tanks.
