What RU server stats really show about the T57 and T110E5
So, there's lots of speculation about how badly the T57 will be "rebalanced" (read: nerfed) in the next patch. There's even mention of nerfing the T110E5. To get an idea of whether these tanks should be nerfed, we only need to look at the Russian server stats.
Based on Russian server stats -- which are the ones used to "rebalance" tanks -- the T57 doesn't deserve a hard nerf, and, some may argue, that it deserves none at all.
T57 -- 52.04% all-time win rate. That ranks it 4th among tier 10 tanks and tank destroyers behind the Leopard I (53.62%), Foch 155 (53.59%) and M48A1 (52.38%). Looking at that, you'd say it probably deserves some nerf. That ranks it 29th overall in regularly played tanks. So there are quite a few more that could be said to need a nerf, they're just not at tier 10. In addition ...
T57 -- 50.64% win rate for the last 4 weeks. That puts it at 49th overall among regularly played tanks and tank destroyers. Not looking so OP in that snapshot, is it?
T57 -- 50.32% win rate for the last 2 weeks (period where 8.6 came out on the RU server). This places it at 8th in terms of tier 10 tanks and TD's in win percentage. Tanks ahead of it are the Foch 155, Leo I, M48A1, T110E3, 121, Fv4202, Fv215b. This also places it 57th on regularly played tanks and TD's for the last 2 weeks.
The stats of the T57 have been trending downward for months now as people have learned how to fight against them. A severe nerf is not called for based on this trendline.
As far as the T110E5 ...
T110E5 -- 50.84% all-time win rate that places it 8th among tier 10 tanks and tank destroyers.
T110E5 -- 49.14% 4 week win rate. This places it at 15th among tier 10 tanks and TD's for the last 4 weeks. Does that call for a nerf?
T110E5 -- 49.11% 2 week win rate. Still dropping. In this two week time period it is 20th in win rate for tier 10 tanks and TD's.
Summary -- T57's win rate has been steadily dropping. There has been no "spike" in its win rate recently. A mild nerf may be called for, but nothing more.
The T110E5 has also been steadily dropping and it's dropped to the point that there are somewhere between 14-19 tanks and tank destroyers that have higher win rates in the past 4 week and 2 week samples. This tank clearly deserves no nerf at all. Maybe it even needs a slight buff.
All stats are based on the RU server stats and that's what the developers have always said they use to "rebalance" tanks. If they use these stats to "rebalance" the American tanks and TD's, then the data clearly show that the T57 could justifiably use a slight nerf (nothing more) while the T110E5 should not have any at all.
If you go by the RU server stats the two most OP tier 10 tanks in the game are the Foch 155 and the Leopard I and I rarely see threads about how these vehicles need to be nerfed.
