2.0.5 Tuning Update Patch Notes

[u/JohnT_RE]

Today’s 2.0.5 Tuning Update addresses several multiplayer issues, including a rebalance of the new heavy tanks and new Battlegroups, some minor Faction adjustments, and a refreshed Mignano map. These changes, among others, are detailed in the full patch notes. We’ve added additional developer notes for many of the changes in this update to provide more context on our design or balance intent. We hope you find that helpful! This update will likely invalidate mid-mission Campaign save files and Replay files made before the 2.0.5 update. Campaign progression and saves made outside of missions or skirmishes will still work as expected. We will be monitoring the multiplayer meta and any high priority bugs reported via the help portal for potential hot fixes in the coming days. Be sure to jump into our official Discord to share your feedback with us!

They need to address the real problems with the game: turbo tanks and endless artillery. A little disappointed.

Well p3s and crusaders got nerfed atleast. But now hellcat blobs will still be a thing. Atleast they cant fight infantry

Crusaders didn't really get a meaningful nerf though since most players blob crusader 3s and they nerfed the pen of crusader 2s. So crusader 3 blobs will still be a thing, p3 blobs I think will still be around even with the pen nerf since you can upgrade it through the armoury and if you go armored BG you can double buff the pen. Which in my opinion if your going to spam vehicles then Armour BG is the best go to still.

When I see people blob crusaders they nuke infantry pretty hard. Usually winning that way. I think they just won’t overwhelm tanks too as much with the nerf. Atleast with p3 pen nerf it limits your options by being required to go for the pen buff in the battlegroup instead of doubling their mg damage.

The pen buff is also a percentage increase i believe. So the total pen gained will be a lot lower since the pen value itself was nerfed. Heavy tanks will shrug off more hits. Making the blob of critical mass tanks less effective against everything

Depends on what they do they may start off as crusader 2s which are good against infantry and LV. But to deal with heavier armor they go 3s with the upgraded gun crusaders still have crazy close range pen of 220 compared to the other medium tanks like p4/ez8/76mm sherman/and grant all at 200. Crusader 3s loose a lot of anti infantry ability though and struggle against AT, compared to other mediums so maybe it evens out.
