World of Tanks 9.21: British Tank Destroyers Armour Changes

2 min read

Update 9.21 will bring armour changes to three British tank destroyers: AT 2, AT 7 and AT 8. These vehicles will receive some armour buffs and nerfs needed for a long time, AT 2 won’t be such a hard tank to penetrate by tanks of the same tier, and AT 8 and AT 7 will be more in-pair with their same tier counterparts.

With these changes, the whole branch will have a similar playstyle from Tier V to Tier X, making it smoother and more comfortable to play. Please note, these changes are from Supertest and might change before final release.

  1. This will make the AT2 unplayable. How stupid. Armor removed and no benefits to help it cope.

    Wargaming really is on a mission to lose players.

  2. Actually, I think this is good, very good indeed. 1st, it nerfs a tank people would use for sealclubbing, 2nd it encourages new players to progress through the line to the AT7, look at it’s armor! Basically no frontal weakpoints! If it stays like this, it will surely be a force on the battlefield in a top tier matchup.

    Thanks for the armor models, Harkonnen! …but for some reason I can’t click on the AT7 picture. 🙁

  3. Not true. It has a somewhat decent arsenal (even the howitzer is fun enough…I suppose) and 152 mm is still overkill for the tier, however less impenetrable for T6 and 7. I’d consider this only fair. It certainly doesn’t get better though. They may have to think about a gun buff.

  4. Looks like at-8 might become a new hidden gem, that armor buff was sorely needed.

  5. And the at8/at7 buffs come after I’ve already finished grinding this tanks. Nice meme. Is the at15/tort going to recieve similar treatment?

  6. Armor buffs to the line (excluding the AT-2) have been needed for a while… but this might be a bit on the side of overkill.

    Anything regarding the AT-15 and Tortoise?

  7. I haven’t checked those two, but will later. There is no info in Supertest about changes to these two vehicles. I’ll have to investigate. I’m currently working really late, so I can only do as much on the little time I got at night 😀 will be back to “normal” soon I hope.

  8. The AT2 had serious problems with maneuverability and side and rear armor. If they are nerfing the armor all over I would hope to see a corresponding increase in the maneuvering and gun.

    Less armor = more speed?

  9. Keep weak spot. Just to get people spam premium round. Funny how people complain about defenders but generally think this is a good change.

  10. I read summary from different blog on reddit. It says this:
    “AT 15
    Mantlet no longer has weakspot behind it (so it is more like on the AT 15A). UFP is now 139.7 mm. Cupolas are thicker as well.

    Tortoise
    Entire front became stronger. The roof is now 57.2 mm thick so it is no longer overmatchable except for the biggest guns in the game.”

    Haven’t seen the pictures as I didn’t want to visit that blog because I really don’t want to support it. That blog is like the opposite of what good blog should be (like Daily Bounce is for example).

  11. AT 2 isn’t a seal-clubber, never was. It’s a far too slow a vehicle to have any impact on a fight.

  12. Ok, I can confirm there has been changes for AT 15 and Tortoise. I’ll publish them later today with images like these ones 😉

  13. There is difference between weakspot which helps you to pen otherwise heavily armored tank and weakspot which ruins the whole armor of the tank. Copulas on AT7 and AT8 are those armor ruining weakspots. Machine gun weakspot isn’t. I would love if they would buff the armor but kept the machine gun weakspot.
