First pure nerfs to German tanks spotted!

WG decided to bless tier 5 heavy tank VK 3001 H (it gets pushed one tier down and re-classed) with a Konish gun aside of great 75/L70 (Known also as Stug gun, and historical armament of Panthers).
Seems good until you look at daamge: 135 instead of 165, both for AP and APCR. Not bad for such high velocity gun at tier 5. Until you look at compatible vehicles: VK 3601 and Klakier Panther.
Which means that VK 3601 gets changed from medium to heavy, which should result at least in increased MM weight, while its best gun is nerfed to level where L70 can become better.
Not to mentioned that already awful recon Panther will also receive this nerf. Yay.

Reduced engine power is disputable whether it is pure nerf or balancing, after all top speed and traverse is increased. Last word will be left for test run on test server and datamining terrain resistance.
It is simple, timer+rotating in place and drag run up the Himmelsdorf hill should tell everything.
