Update 8.1 final stats added
Final stats for update 8.1 have been added.

Annihilator’s “nerf”

Other notable changes
- The tier X stats
M-VI-Yoh has improved its
performance still and got into TOP10 best performing tanks. Maybe players have
learned to use the small 3-shot gun that has crazy DPM. The dual-shot
gun is so fun, but it lacks the DPM to survive end-games.

- The new tier VIII premium tank premium tank
Somua SM has performed very well
and why not: a tank with high burst damage, great turret armor, gun depression and decent
mobility rarely struggles on on the battlefield.

- It should be noted though that in addition for the
Somua SM being very good tank
(especially for the less-skilled payers), it has been played by very good players so
far (tier VIII WR +6% vs. the average).


- Sturer Emil got (over)buffed in
update 8.1, but it did not impact that much on its stats. It seems the tank
is still too hard to play for most of the players (no armor, no turret). I personally felt
the engine-buff was too much and the tank lost its sluggish characteristics and became
more of an arcade version of itself. I wish WG would partially reverse its engine buff :-)
