[WoT #3] World of Tanks - Cruisen samen door de woestijn!

quote:

Since the introduction of Patch 8.7, the 440HP and 500HP engines have been removed, considerably slowing down this tank. In fact, this tank now suffers from being unable to attain its top speed easily, being nearly as slow as the infamous AMX 12t. However, not all hope is lost. The originally ridiculous traverse speed of the T-50 has been buffed even FURTHER, making it extremely maneuverable, and terrain resistance has been reduced, helping it attain its former glory. The 57mm ZiS-8 gun has been removed, replaced by the 45mm VT-43, a much better version of the VT-42 with enhanced accuracy, reduced aimtime and an even higher constant rate of fire that exceeds most automatic loaders.

With that said, the T-50 now receives much better matchmaking, now no longer meeting tier VII-IX enemies. It now has normal tier IV matchmaking, meeting tanks at a maximum of two tiers above.
These changes radically alter the playstyle of the T-50. The T-50 used to be a high-speed, quick-turning active scout that accelerated faster than even the legendary T-50-2 and BT-2. It is no longer the case. The T-50 plays very similarly to the Covenanter except accelerating slower and having a superior gun.
