Smasher Nerf?

[Gargantua]

Was Smasher's accuracy nerfed? I can't find any news about its accuracy being nerfed but i felt like it's definitely less accurate now. Smasher used to have god like laser accuracy. It used to hit targets with half aims circles all the time. It is preforming closer to SU-152 now. Still alot more accurate than SU-152 but definitely not like what it used to be...

I feel like WG shadow nerfed the Smasher, giving it less accurate guns. Its still a broken tank but the accuracy is not like what it used to be...

never really felt the Smasher was broken. Basically a +1 tier KV2 with a little more armor, you treated it like a KV2, wasn't much to worry about that other derp gun tanks were.

Run into a Smasher? no biggie, who cares about him when there are Annihilators about, or Gravediggers, some +1 kv2? don't care about unless i turn a corner and there is one right there in my face aiming my way. Otherwise nothing different than a kv2.. scary to noobs, and scary if you don't know there is one and it snipes you across the map and gets a lucky shot out of the blue.

The Smasher last had an official balance change in Update 7.3 when it received a minor buff to concealment.

However, Update 8.0 saw a bug fix that was the same as a AP pen nerf. AP shells slow down and lose pen over enough distance - except for the Smasher. That was a bug, and the Smasher’s 152mm AP shells now behave more like the SU-152’s 152mm AP shells. The Smasher shouldn’t be any less accurate, but when sniping It’s shells should bounce and fail to pen more than before.

BTW, TankEatingTiger has put together a spreadsheet with every balance change ever made: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17CXsRjguuTiJVXgWHN6o3CMbN2lJbngVhVBvxK-21D4/edit
