German branch of tanks in world of tanks. German branch of tanks in War Thunder. Upgrading tanks. Prices
information was provided on adding new branch Maus (MAUS) of the German nation. The following techniques will be added, shown in the table below:
New branch of mouse (MAUS)
| Level | ||
|---|---|---|
| 7 | Tiger (P) | Tiger (P) |
| 8 | VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. A | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | MAUS |
Changes are being made for a more logical branch of Mouse research; the slow but highly armored VK 100.01 and Mousehen will be an excellent replacement for the VK 45.02 auf A and VK 45.02 auf B (alpha sneakers and just slippers in common parlance). Well, if you change sneakers, and in order not to take them out of the game, a level 10 vehicle is added to the branch, namely an analogue of the VK 72.01 (K), the VK 72.02 K itself will not go anywhere and will remain the same premium vehicle, only unique camouflage and body kit for a tank. Also, additional changes according to the German AP tanks World of Tanks. The main changes will include adding mobility and comfort to the weapon.
If the hangar already has MAUS, then a new TT of the tenth level must be re-opened.
If the hangar already has MAUS, then level 8 and level 9 will already be researched and available for purchase in the game.
Changes in performance characteristics of VK 72.01
VK 72.01 in World of Tanks is a German super-heavy class tank, the successor to VK 70.01 with improved armor, was developed by the Kruppe concern and also received improved weapons, it is also compared with the Soviet IS-7 and IS-4, the armor ball is 160 mm, but the turret itself , unlike the IS-7, has bends at irrational angles. From his younger brother also different higher speed turret information and reload time 18.5 s, fully equipped. Despite its large dimensions of 120 tons, the tank is relatively maneuverable and reaches 40 km/h; its ammunition load is less than that of the 70th version (24 rounds). The disadvantages of the tank are its high profile, which makes it an easy target for artillery, for example, on the Sand River maps. The tank received the title of “elite” due to the ability to transfer a crew from any German TT tank to it.
This tank will receive enhanced firepower(for example, increased damage per minute) is comparable to E100. Another important update for VK 72.01 K owners is the improvement in armor from 235 to 246 mm. Some indicators are not yet the latest before the update is released, for example, such as increased armor on the frontal projection.
Changes in performance characteristics of E100
E-class tanks began to be developed in the early 40s by the Reich Ministry of Armaments. The engineer Mr. Kniepkamp gave the task to several companies that had not previously dealt with tanks to develop a new concept super heavy tank, they received the name Panzerkampfwagen E-100. The main focus was to create a tank that would be invisible in heavy battles, but at the same time it could carry large amounts of ammunition. Because of this, compared to its predecessors, the model range of tanks underwent changes in design; it was decided to abandon the torsion bar suspension. The drive wheels were located at the rear of the car to increase space inside the cabin. The engineers also wanted to create new type sights, but during the research the development had to be abandoned. 
The model available in the game is Pz.Kpfw.E-100, Great 383) 383 is a premium level 10 tank model, weighing 140 tons. 
Changes in performance characteristics of MAUS
The history of the Mouses dates back to 1942. Hitler demanded the creation of a car with very powerful armor. Several development concerns were involved individual parts tank, among which is the famous company Siemens, which developed the transmission. The main developer, Ferdinard Porsche, showed a couple of prototypes in 1944, but on Hitler's orders, mass production tanks were stopped because Germany did not have enough resources to develop other types of weapons. 
In the game, the tank is available after reaching level ten. Possesses the most best armor in your class. Its weapon has very high one-time damage, good accuracy and resistance to penetration. The only negative is, perhaps, a long reload time and low mobility, which makes it an easy target for self-propelled guns and artillery. 
Changes in the performance characteristics of Panther II
In 1942, German engineers decided to develop an improved model of the popular Panther tank, primarily changes related to armor capacity. Development was carried out in parallel with the second version of the Tiger and it was decided that the Panther would be the same Tiger only larger in size. The second version received an improved chassis, surveillance devices, and propulsion system. The armor thickness also increased from 60 to 100 mm. The Shmalturm tower had internal telescopic rangefinders and infrared devices. The increase in equipment entailed an increase in the dimensions of the machine to 47 tons. Production began in 1945 with some changes to the air defense turret.
In the game, the tank received level 8 and can be used as additional support for allies on the second line. It has a good rate of fire and good maneuvers, but has weak armor and a tall silhouette, so it can also be a target for self-propelled guns.
December 17, 2016 at Moscow The first games festival took place Wargaming. There was a lot of news and announcements on this day. Our team has collected the most interesting news, to give you, our readers, to read them in one place.
Technique
On WG Fest“There were a lot of interesting things said about the technology. In 2017, we will have both new researchable tanks and premium ones.
German tank tree
In 2017, the German nation will add another Tier X heavy tank.
TO Maus more logical tanks will go - VK 100.01 P and at levels VIII and IX, respectively. And here VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. A And VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B will also remain at their levels, but will lead to a new Tier X tank Pz. Kpfw. VII. The new tank will be completely analogous VK 72.01 (K), which was given to the winners of campaigns for Global map. GK"shny VK 72.01 (K) will receive a unique camouflage and additional body kit. On VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. A And VK 100.01 P it will be possible to go from Tiger (P).
Almost all of these tanks will receive changes to their performance characteristics. The Maus will have significantly improved reload time and enhanced frontal armor. U VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B Some characteristics of the gun will also be improved, the armor on the sides of the hull and the front of the turret will be strengthened, but the NLD will be weakened. VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. A expects an increase in frontal armor and elevation angles.
In addition to these machines, the characteristics of machines will be affected more low levels. Three tanks at once: VK 30.01 (D), VK 30.02 (D) And Indien-Panzer mobility will be improved, and Indien-Panzer The weapon will also be improved. Panther I And Panther II will receive improved weapon characteristics, and the latter will receive a new weapon 8 .8 cm KwK L/100. U Tiger (P), Tiger I And VK 30.01 (P) The tower's armor will be strengthened. E 75 will get very good improvement Performance characteristics of the gun. U E 100 will also increase the comfort of the gun 12.8 cm Kw.K. 44L/55, but the weapon 15 cm Kw.K. L/38 and will completely increase the armor penetration of an armor-piercing projectile.
Japanese tank tree
Because of Type 4 And Type 5 Heavy rarely seen in battles, Wargaming decided to adjust the characteristics of some TTs from the branch.
Top vehicles will have new weapons, with high explosive shells, so that the tank branch is more logical, in order to preserve the uniqueness of the entire branch. O-I Experimental
will lose its mobility, because its mass will increase, and maximum speed it will be like O-I. Same with O-I Experimental the top gun will be taken away 10 cm Cannon Type 14 and will receive increased frontal armor. U O-I the set of available shells for the gun will be revised 15 cm Howitzer Type 96. Top gun 10 cm Experimental Tank Gun Kai at O-Ho will receive armor-piercing projectile like premium. Premium Heavy Tank No VI The turret's armor will be improved.
American tank tree
With several American cars something that all the players have been waiting for for so long will happen and they no longer even believed that it would happen.
U T28, T28 Prototype And T95 the speed will be increased.
Premium cars in 2017
In 2017, we expect two new premium cars - and Object 252U.
Object 252U, I can imagine that it will become a replacement IS-6. Probably every player already knows that now W.G. withdraws preferential tanks from sale, which is what IS-6. well and STRV S1 will most likely appear as the first premium Swedish car VIII level in Game.
Balancer
On WG Fest"we again talked about improving the balancer. Now W.G. wants to completely change the way the rework balancer works, key mechanics and the template system.
The improved matchmaker will match players based on a number of patterns, such as 3/5/7: 3 cars at the top of the list, 5 cars in the middle and 7 cars at the bottom of the list. During peak online times on the server, the balancer will create two-level and one-level battles.
Platoons of the same level
W.G. plans to completely solve the problem of “key fobs” with the settings of a new balancer. Only vehicles of the same level will be allowed into battle. The system of fines for platoons with a difference of more than 3 levels will be eliminated, but the bonus system will remain.
Hatred of self-propelled guns
W.G. plans to solve the problem in the following way: limiting self-propelled guns in battle to three units.
Light tanks Tier X
In order to new system balancer worked perfectly in Wargaming We have made a final decision on Tier X light tanks - they will appear in the game in 2017!
In total, 3-4 nations of Tier X light tanks will be introduced into the game. When LT-10 is introduced, all LTs will have a normalized level of battles, and not, as now, increased.
"Sandbox"
In order for the balancer changes described above to work well in the game, the second iteration of the server awaits us in February 2017 “ Sandbox" If in the first iteration much attention was paid to changing the roles of all equipment, then in the second iteration it will be divided into 2 stages.
At the first stage, accuracy testing, a decrease in armor penetration with distance, and modified “two and three caliber” rules will be carried out. By the way, players could already encounter the changed rule of “two and three calibers” at the general test updates 9.17. Wargaming wants to try to reduce the excess armor penetration of tank destroyers and tank destroyers, increase the drop in armor penetration with distance and change the accuracy of all vehicles. All these changes should lead to an increased role of armor in the game.
At the second stage, changes to self-propelled guns and new equipment will be tested, which can be used several times in battle. W.G. The so-called stunning of self-propelled guns has been improved. Improved aiming mechanics will be available, including the introduction of an alternative sight similar to Battle Assistant. The changes will also affect game interfaces: it will be displayed important information about stun: duration, radius, etc.
Monastery in HD
On WG Fest The first map in HD quality was officially announced.
As they said during the presentation of the map, this awaits us already in 2017.
Miscellaneous
Well, now let's move on to various news and announcements that are less noticeable.
"Tax on Google"
We can say that the very first thing on December 17 Wargaming announced that the company has decided to fully accept the payment of value added tax on purchases in services Google to myself. Prices will not change at all.
For those who do not understand what we are talking about: from January 1, 2017 in Russian Federation a new value added tax (VAT) of 18% is introduced on all purchases in Google. IN Play Market games posted Wargaming and one of them is World of Tanks Blitz.
Kaspersky World of Tanks edition
Kaspersky Lab introduced a special version of its antivirus system, which is called World of Tanks edition like the same one
How it differs from the regular version, we are now clarifying this. And we hope that we will tell you about this in the near future.
"Contest of Champions"
During WG Fest An eSports tournament was held, where several teams from all over the world took part. In the final we met Natus Vincere And TORNADO ENERGY Team. The team won TORNADO ENERGY Team with a score of 7:5. The winners received a cash prize and a quota WGL 2017 Grand Final, which will take place in Moscow.
"Caliber"
Was presented a new game from Wargaming And 1C - Caliber. The game is a third-person team action game where the main mode is PVE.
Official website of the game.
Update 0.9.17.1 is approaching and drastic changes will affect several German development branches that are currently this moment are not relevant for players.
What changes will the German branch of World of Tanks tanks receive?
Branch changesMaus
Now the branch Maus tank will be divided in the German top another TT-10 will appear - Pz.Kpfw. VII, which will be a logical continuation of the Tiger (P) branch - VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. A – VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B. Thus, sneakers will not leave the game, but will become an independent branch in the top with a vehicle that is similar in concept to previous tanks.
Pz.Kpfw. VII is the already well-known “lion slipper”, which was given to players for participating in battles on the Global Map. With entry into the German TT development branch, it will noticeably improve its characteristics: it will become much more effective in dealing damage and will acquire truly monolithic armor in the front of the hull. As for the pre-Maus branch, it will now look like this: Tiger (P) – new tank VK 100.01 (P) – Mäuschen – MAUS. The two hundred ton monster itself will also receive an upgrade that will allow it to fire and tank more effectively.
How Pz.Kpfw tanks. VII
At the moment, VK 72.01 is a Tier X super-heavy tank, which is awarded to players for impressive successes in battles on the Global Map. In terms of characteristics, the “lion slipper” is very similar to its pumpable brother, the E-100, but has a rear-mounted turret.
However, its speed significantly exceeds the E-100 - the “slipper” reaches 40 km/h. Among the disadvantages, the tank has rather weak side armor and a small ammunition load - 24 rounds.
The tank will change its name and become the crown of a new branch of German TT. Now Pz.Kpfw. VII will also receive a small app. The base armor penetration will increase to 246 mm, the DMP and accuracy will slightly increase, the ammunition load will also increase to 35 shells. But the most important thing is that the “lion slipper” will receive much more impressive frontal armor, which will allow it to fight off all calibers in the game.
Before we talk about the E-100 in our game, let's dig a little into history. The project to create a super-heavy E-series tank appeared among German designers in the early 40s of the 20th century, when the country was already waging a war against the USSR and the countries of the Allied bloc.
German designers planned to create a super-armored tank that could carry huge ammunition for long-term confrontation with enemy tanks.
However, Germany was never able to bring the E-series to life due to the huge costs of fighting and simply due to lack of time. In 1945, Germany was completely defeated, and the Panzerkampfwagen E-100 remained only in the drawings.
In World of Tanks, the E-100 is located at level X and a small upgrade awaits it in update 0.9.17.1. In general, nothing fundamentally new will happen to the tank, only the base armor penetration of the 15 cm gun will increase. It was 235 mm, but will become 246 mm. This upgrade will allow the E-100 to use expensive cumulative projectiles much less frequently.
Maus in the sandbox
German designers were passionate about construction incredibly armored tank under the modest name Maus in 1942, when luck was still with the Wehrmacht forces.
The construction of the tank was undertaken by Ferdinard Porsche and by 1944 he had already presented Hitler with a couple of working options that had not yet received weapons. Hitler was forced to abandon further development, since the front required enormous funds.
In our game, Maus is located at Tier X and has the strongest armor among all TTs in the game. Of the poles, one can also note the largest margin of safety and good weapons.
The main disadvantage of the “mouse” has always been its very poor mobility, which makes the tank a tempting target for artillery.
In patch 0.9.17.1 Maus will receive the long-awaited upgrade. First of all, the DPM will increase significantly - if previously the basic reload of a gun reached almost 15 seconds, it will become less than 12 seconds, the accuracy and aiming time will also become much better. The stabilization of the gun will improve, but most importantly, the thickness of the frontal armor of the turret will become even thicker - 260 mm, whereas it was 240 mm. Now the “mouse” will take a hit much better and only the “gold” will be able to overcome the forehead of the tower.
Game on Panther II - 7 kills
As for the average Panther tank II, then the most important change in patch 0.9.17.1 will be the ability to install a fundamentally new weapon, which will have the same average damage - 240 units, but with much better armor penetration - 223 mm. Also, the “panther” will be converted to HD, which will result in a change in its armor.
The German development branch was available to players World of tanks throughout the entire period of the game's existence. The Maus tank was one of two tier ten tanks available in the release version of WoT. Much time has passed since then, and the German development branch has been supplemented by many excellent combat vehicles, among which it is worth noting the E series tanks, which allow you to explore the top medium tank E-50M, and heavy tank E-100.
An unusual combat vehicle is the Waffenträger auf E 100 tank destroyer. It is a poorly protected self-propelled gun with an open wheelhouse and a loading drum, capable of inflicting a colossal amount of damage in a short period of time.
Among the advantages of German tanks in World of tanks it is worth noting good, accurate top guns most combat vehicles.
Research tree for German tanks in WoT
The research tree for German tanks in World of tanks is shown in the figure below. To view the full image, click on the picture.
Is it worth upgrading German tanks in World of tanks?
Among German tanks in World of tanks there are many excellent warriors on whom experienced players can decide the outcome of the battle, and who will allow them to show good result for beginners. There are also German tanks in WoT, the game on which significantly depends on the training of the crew, for example, to play tank destroyers that play from camouflage, an experienced crew is needed. Some German tanks in World of tanks are downright difficult to play.
The above allows us to conclude that playing German tanks in World of tanks may not be easy, but many German cars are very strong in WoT.
Hello, fellow tankers! Today we will look at the German branch of tank development (in game World of Tanks), or rather, I will describe to you all its pros and cons in as much detail as possible from my point of view and, perhaps, help you decide on the choice of nation. This will not be a guide, but a personal opinion, so there is no need to vehemently prove that I “didn’t write the guide based on guides.”
The popularity of German tanks in World of Tanks
German tanks Although they are inferior in popularity to the Soviet and French ones, they still found their admirers among the players. These people play with German tanks all the time, their hangar is dominated by these tanks and they worry about everything that happens to this nation. Such players are called “German-philes”. Why this technique found its admirers - read below.Advantages and disadvantages of German tanks
On the plus side Most of the equipment is worth noting guns. Many German tanks have accurate, penetrating and fairly fast-firing guns. It often happens that even on the move you can accurately hit the enemy with these weapons. According to its characteristics german guns are the best in the game. It is also worth noting the armor of the turrets of almost all the vehicles of this nation, as well as the hull armor of individual vehicles (Mouse, E-100, etc.). Most cars have good dynamics(speed, mobility), as well as excellent visibility.Minus the Germans is the hull armor (mostly). And also small one-time damage (there are exceptions).
General
The technique is divided into 5 initial branches WoT development:- Fri-Sau
- Heavily armored light tanks (up to Pz.IV)
- Maneuverable light tanks (up to Indien-Pz.)
- Medium armored light tanks (Pz.II)
- Self-propelled guns (artillery).
Fri-Sau
German anti-tank installations famous for their guns (and subsequently armor). You can get a lot of fun from breaking through them at any level of battles. On JgPanther, the development tree is divided into two branches: JgPanthII and Ferdinand (the most popular tank destroyer, due to its level 10 gun and excellent armor). Then everything goes on one branch.TB/M/SB light tanks (conventionally designated in my own way)
These tanks are somewhat reminiscent of entry-level French light tanks - this is armor. These tanks (from Pz.35(t) to Pz.38 nA) have excellent frontal armor, as well as some dynamics.The Germans also have very fast and dynamic tanks, starting with Pz.I through “Aulyukhka-totampanzer” (or simply “Long-fat-pard”). They also have penetrating and rapid-fire cannons (but most of them are cassettes), and coupled with their speed, they can decide the outcome of a battle even when it is just beginning. And the Pz.I c with its “Mauser” became especially famous. The “fat guy” is also famous for its 105 mm high-explosive weapon with cumulative shells.
The Pz.II line is one of the most popular, because has access to Panther, after it on E-50. The Panther has a cannon with excellent penetration, and the E-50 has strong armor, good gun And large mass, which is often used for ramming. These machines are among the best and popular tanks in World of Tanks.
From the Pz.IV you can upgrade to the Maus heavy tank (by switching to the Tiger P), as well as to the E-100 (by switching to the Tiger). Both tanks are well armored, and heavy tanks Tiger and Tiger P have accurate, fast-firing and penetrating guns.
