Before patch 0.7.1.1 you always (more or less) ended up in tier 2 battles which is great for the owners of this tank but since the new patch was released that changed (at least for me).
Now it's more like 50% chance to end up in tier 3 battles.

Anyone else noticed that? It was not part of the patch information from WG that this was going to be changed for this tank.

This also happens to me with my Tetrarch.

With the Armour nerf and Match Making yes, I am now facing tier 3 tanks who blow me away....seems all German tanks now even prems are bottom of the pile..

It was such fun when playing tier 2 games where you were untouchable more or less. In one game I recieved 106 hits and I managed to kill 10 tanks and survived and we got the victory.
Now that special setup is gone. You more or less never ended up in tier 3 before. That was the speciality of this tank. Now it is 50/50 to get tier 2 or 3.

It was fun while it lasted. Now it is only Löwe, Type59 and perhaps KV-5 that are viable as Premium tanks. All the others seems kind of lousy really (not worth buying).

Yes I know that. It is like I originally said ("Before patch 0.7.1.1 you always (more or less) ended up in tier 2 battles") but it was not 50% of the time! That is what all this is about. The sudden change after patch 0.7.1.1 in which it was not announced by WG, hence my question if any one knows anything about this. Is it permanent or just in 0.7.1.1 etc.

good, was about time.

Before 7.1.1, you got into T3 fights as well. Don't have statisitcs, but I don't think there has been any change since the patch. Could just be a bad run for you.

I played a butt load of tier 2 games this weekend and quite often I would see one or two PzKpfw 38H735 (f). Most guys had real problems penetrating it. I teamed up with one and together we made a nasty team. We killed tanks at range and had 7-9 kills together at most games.

[Lewysworld]

Yes , if you look at my stats played this tank many times used it to farm XP get my Tiger Tank straight from away and during that time i would face a few tier 3 tanks in the beginning , even faced a pz3 too in one match...but not it is far more common for me to face bigger tanks and the reduced accuracy and Armour all combine to make this tank, inferior to the French Hotchkiss even thou the German one is a better variant.

What, still a great tank!
