FCM 2C: A Premium Heavy Tank That Got Nerfed in the second iteration of Supertest
On Wednesday, the second iteration of FCM 2C, a French premium heavy tank, came out for supertest. In this article, we will review the changes that this tank underwent, and how they affect its performance and gameplay.
What is FCM 2C?
FCM 2C is a French heavy tank that belongs to tier 3 premium in WoT. It will be a premium tank, which means that it can be purchased with real money or gold, and it has some advantages over regular tanks, such as earning more credits and experience. FCM 2C is a historical tank that was designed and built in France in the 1920s and 1930s. It was one of the largest and heaviest tanks ever made, weighing over 69 tons and measuring over 10 meters in length. It had a crew of 12 men and a 75mm gun as its main armament.
What Changes Did FCM 2C Receive in the Supertest?
In the second iteration of the supertest, FCM 2C received more nerfs, such as:
- Decreased cost of repairing tank durability from 1,200 to 1,100
- Increased gun loading from 5.27 to 6.04
- Decreased gun rate of fire from 11.38 to 9.93
- Decreased average damage per minute of all projectiles
- Decreased tank durability/HP from 600 to 550
- Increased max. reverse speed from 8 to 15
How Do These Changes Affect FCM 2C’s Performance and Gameplay?
The changes that FCM 2C received in the supertest are mostly negative, as they reduce its firepower and vitality. The increased gun loading and decreased gun rate of fire mean that FCM 2C will fire less often and deal less damage per minute. The decreased tank durability/HP mean that FCM 2C will be more vulnerable to enemy fire and die faster. The increased max. reverse speed is a minor buff, as it allows FCM 2C to retreat faster from dangerous situations. However, it does not compensate for the other nerfs.
The changes that FCM 2C received in the supertest make it a less attractive and competitive tank in WoT. FCM 2C was already a slow and bulky tank that had poor armor and mobility. It relied on its decent gun and high HP to deal damage and survive. However, with the nerfs, FCM 2C loses its edge and becomes a weaker and less enjoyable tank to play.
