Sorry Tanki, but you got this "re-balance"" horribly wrong. I worked for 7 months to reach 250,000 points and become a 2nd Lieutenant. Not brilliant, but with an M3 Dictator hull and M3 Ricochet gun, I was able to play at a satisfying pace, without losing my weapon every 30 seconds. Now I've had to buy up to 1st Lieutenant in order to get the M2 Dictator and M2 Ricochet, but they are slow, underprotected and underpowered in comparison to even how the M2 used to be. Even with the best armor that I can buy at this rank, I am still a sitting duck. What's worse is that the M2 Dictator/Ricochet no longer matches up to the M2 Thunder/Viking combination. Earlier I registered 17 (SEVENTEEN) direct, close-range hits on another 1st Lieutenant who was using the Thunder/Viking rig. He took me out in three shots. So far, since the "re-balance" I have logged in four times, and lost all progress part way through the game three times because of lag/freeze, forcing me to log off, clear cache and start again. Now I realize that I won't even get back to an M3 Dictator/Ricochet combo until I collect another 1,000,000 points and reach the new rank of Genralissimo! RIDICULOUS!!! But here's where the mistake bites you back, Tanki, because I am now downloading WORLD OF TANKS, and if it works out, you won't see another dime of my money. If what you say is true and you are working to give new incentives to the people who have reached the top of the tree in this game, then you have got your numbers badly wrong because there are way more people like me who are faced with playing for months to get back a level of game play that they have already experienced and lost (or spending a ton of money to buy that experience back). It won't happen and will take our business elsewhere. Unfortunately, I think your motives are far more base and you are looking to get people like me to start spending money at the rate we were spending over the first few months in the game. That ain't going to happen. Whatever you are trying to do, you have failed.
