If you are a fan of World of Tanks, you might be interested in the latest news about the Chrysler MTC 2TC, a premium medium tank from the USA. This tank entered the super test for the second time today, and it received some major changes that affected its firepower and mobility. In this article, we will compare the changes relative to the first iteration of the supertest and see how they impact the tank’s performance.
Firepower:
- One of the most noticeable changes is the increase in the gun loading time, which went from 9.78 to 11.51 seconds. This means that the tank will fire less frequently and have a lower damage output.
- As a result, the gun rate of fire also decreased from 6.14 to 5.21 rounds per minute, which is a significant reduction in the tank’s firepower.
- On the positive side, the aiming time improved slightly from 2.21 to 2.11 seconds, which means that the tank will be able to aim faster and more accurately.
- However, the dispersion per 100 m also worsened from 0.36 to 0.38, which means that the tank will have a lower accuracy and a higher chance of missing shots at long distances.
- The dispersion from chassis rotation (max.) and the dispersion from sight rotation (max.) both changed slightly, but not enough to make a noticeable difference in the tank’s handling.
- The average damage per minute of the 1 (AP) projectile, the 2 (BP) projectile and the 3 (HE) projectile all dropped significantly, from 2,209 to 1,877, from 2,209 to 1,877 and from 2,700 to 2,295 respectively. This means that the tank will deal less damage with any type of ammunition and have a harder time penetrating enemy armor.
Mobility:
- Another important change is the decrease in the horizontal speed of the sight translation, which went from 37.55 to 35.46 degrees per second. This means that the tank will have a lower turret traverse speed and a lower ability to track moving targets.
- The chassis rotation speed also decreased from 41.72 to 39.63 degrees per second, which means that the tank will have a lower hull traverse speed and a lower maneuverability.
These changes indicate that the Chrysler MTC 2TC received a fairly strong nerf to the DPM, which might affect its performance in the game. The tank will have a lower firepower, a lower accuracy, a lower mobility and a lower flexibility. It will be more difficult to deal damage, to hit targets, to move around and to adapt to different situations. The tank might need some buffs or adjustments to make it more competitive and enjoyable to play.
