Define “much better”

i consider the arl better tho. Didnt really like the kuro.

Better than it previously was

Hey guys were can I live chat with a wotb employee or worker? It says my account is banned please contact billing support(I never refunded or anything)

A20 HE Pen 🤔

indigo knot
#

Kv2 is still the best

pastel nimbus
#

Yeah, but the A20 is also mobile. . .it doesn't deal enough damage for a full HP oneshot, but you most likely go through the armor

#

I mean, if you don't have a Matilda or B1 as enemy, it makes no Sense for you to take HEAT or AP

twilit crystal
#

uh AP makes sense lol Tracks+destructible objects

pastel nimbus
#

Why should you shoot near the tracks if you can pen like everything with HE? And the objects are easy to move around. . .

gloomy dragon
#

Cuz lazy. You shoot ap to break the objects and more often than not, theyre still sitting there waiting for a round of HE by the time you reload.

Tog is a good tier VI

#

Why does the Luchs a light tank have the same hull traverse... as a tier 5 heavy?

#

Actually its worse than a unbuffed (no consumables/equipment) t1 heavy.

#

its slightly worse than a bdr hull traverse for petes sake

nimble zodiac
#

It makes no sense how it has all V modules : P

hot snow
#

hull traverse is 28.8 degress with fuel and the traverse upgrade its upto 32 degrees

iron lynx
#

Wow
The LTTB has more than double the hull traverse speed

drowsy plaza
#

Luch was nerfed to stop Seal clubbers

hot snow
#

Theres nerfing... and then theres going overboard and nerfing stomping something into oblivion.... the later is what happened to the luchs.

#

a light tank should not have mobility stats than a heavy tank.

humble spear
#

You're telling me 60 km/h forwards, and a 25 hp/t ratio on hard terrain is that of a heavy? The Luchs was the seal clubbing tank, and if wargaming wanted the clubbing of seals to decrease, this tank would be among those that'd be hit the hardest.

hot snow
#

it still has a 30 ph/t ratio now.

humble spear
#

The speed was one of the factors as to why it was so good, but the main thing was the gun, and that's been nerfed heavily. Same for the VK 16.02 Leopard

hot snow
#

yeah explains why ive had to load apcr to pen m3 lees..

humble spear
#

the penetration's never been touched, it's always been around 80 iirc

hot snow
#

not its ben nerfed as well.. cant pen m7 frontal... trouble penning a pz 3 with a flat side.

#

Tried to CoD a churchill... who was able to keep their gun on me the entire time and i barely pened its rear with apcr

#

Im not saying it shouldnt have been nerfed when it got turned into a collector tank... im saying they went too far... as usual when nerfing things

nimble zodiac
#

I’m pretty sure M7 got an armor buff so it was competent for once

obsidian laurel
#

I don’t like to play lower tiers however 5.5 was toxic for the game

#

It’s like killing pests infesting a city with a nuke, rather counterproductive

dapper thorn
#

I say nerf travese speed should be increased

#

I meant grille, sorry auto correct

unique scaffold
#

@obsidian laurel 5.5 was absolutely great for the game. It ended the reign of low tier clubbers, created a better learning environment for new players, and paid veterans thousands of gold to trade their collector tanks in. I netted a AMX 30 1er from 5.5. Best update ever.

#

guys what do u think about FV tank destroyer, it’s unnormal when fv has 950-1500 dmg one shot and jg.pz.e100 600-800.

fiery flame
#

Very good observation, needs nerf

unique scaffold
#

yeah pretty strange

clever void
#

🥴

cerulean tulip
#

It's actually very normal but yeah Fv should get an alpha buff

fringe apex
#

An alpha buff, did i read corectly ?

unique scaffold
#

Yea

soft spindle
#

M5 Stuart is the new luchs

fringe apex
#

Lol, lets give a 4k alpha with 3s of reload and 999 mm of Pen

#

No fv is not good for the t10 gameplay it dont deserve a buff especially an alpha buff

flat zephyr
#

@unique scaffold first of all, the nerfs did the rebalance not the removal of tanks. If there were only nerfs, why would some players disagree the changes?
Second of all, the amount of gold was enough to just compensate about 80% of tanks costs, not all of it and also thinking about players that had gold camos on these tanks, it would even compensate less so why would I be happy about it? I bought them all to play with all, have an all round account, now I can't even play tier 5 thanks to the changes that made lower tiers unbearable

cerulean tulip
#

Rip Pz3/4

quick lichen
#

@flat zephyr why should wg compensate you 100%?

#

If you could sell a tank for 100% of what you bought it for, you essentially borrowed it

flat zephyr
#

@quick lichen I would like the 80% though, but it just I have gold camo on all of them, even several camos on one tank. It drops to less than 50%

quick lichen
#

I thought the gold was rather generous and it paid for my k-91

#

Idk why you’d ever buy a gold camo below tier 7 tbh

flat zephyr
#

Although @quick lichen I bought many of them with money not gold. And then spend more money to buy camos. If I get 25k gold from them, i have spent more than 50k for them so why would I be happy?

#

The value of them has dropped to half and I can't even play them anymore.
The other thing is they are nerfing premiums, changing them to collectables. So I'm not actually getting what they did say to give so they must compensate most of it

#

@quick lichen why wouldn't I when I used to play with them? I have no tank that I don't want to play with so I have at least one gold camo on all of my tanks

quick lichen
#

You could still play them

#

But ok

flat zephyr
#

But now they are butchered, you can't play many of them as they are unbalanced as hell and many more

quick lichen
#

Basically all of the low tier tanks were nerfed to be more beginner friendly

drowsy plaza
#

I played several of the low tier collectors after 5.5. Boring - but in the face of blanket nerfs to everything (but Kenny OP, which I own and don’t play anymore - it does deserve a nerf too) most tanks where still competitive. WG has also buffed a few since when they realized the knife went too deep into a few of them

flat zephyr
#

@quick lichen the game speed is completely unbearable. There were plenty of methods to get lower tiers more beginner friendly instead of butchering it for older players who didn't cared about profile or damage things

#

Like the thing they done to separate players with less than 5k battles was quite well IMO, but then the rest is arguable

quick lichen
#

You have 25,000+ battles (veteran role) and you’re complaining about tier v and below. I’m glad there are separate queues for people like you

#

We have very different things we care about within the game

flat zephyr
#

@quick lichen I have 40k+ battles and since I am not interested in professional playing anymore, I would have fun tier 5 and 6 rather than getting mad at tier 10

nimble zodiac
#

Then make the choice to be mad at tier X or V

quick lichen
#

You don’t have to ping me every single time. I’m smart enough to understand when you’re directing something at me

flat zephyr
#

You can't be mad at tier 5 players since it isn't competitive enough
And ok I won't

quick lichen
#

Often people get mad at high tiers because they’re not good enough to play them. So they resort to low tiers in order to win games

flat zephyr
#

Well you can check that one out to find out about it. Best to check it from blitz assistant than blitzstars since it has some problems with transferred accounts

charred bobcat
#

I dont see a point in playing low tiers. High tiers is what creates the challenge aspect of the game, not just taking easy wins lol

flat zephyr
#

Also you can check 30d total in blitzstars, it is somehow accurate enough to show some skill level

charred bobcat
#

Unless youre grinding a line then there really isnt a reason to linger

flat zephyr
#

I have all tanks so there is no grinding
Also you might want to take a brake from tier 8 and higher tiers.
The other thing is you can always learn thing from lower tiers

nimble zodiac
#

I’d figure you’d know everything then :3

charred bobcat
#

Learn how to club new players? If you have all tanks then theres no point in playing low tiers.

flat zephyr
#

Or you just can go to noob mode, do whatever you want like the "ram only" challenge but in randoms

#

There is no point in playing randoms when you have all tanks

charred bobcat
#

Dont play then lol

unique scaffold
#

This is a video game and the main point is to have fun. If he wants to play low tiers, then what's your problem?

charred bobcat
#

I'm not the one complaining about low tier nerfs and whatnot

flat zephyr
#

But you are defending it

unique scaffold
#

The lower tiers should be boring for a veteran player. They aren't meant for veterans. They are meant to be a learning ground for new players.

quick lichen
#

That’s why it’s so stream lined

flat zephyr
#

That's why it's boring nowadays
Also who said they aren't meant for veterans? Don't veterans need a break from higher tiers? From competitive play style into some fun mode?

median gust
#

then go a20

charred bobcat
#

Not really, veterans dont need to play low tiers to club less expereince players

quick lichen
#

My break from high tiers is playing tier 8 or a different game

flat zephyr
#

I'm not clubber, I use well balanced tanks
Also my other game needs much more effort than blitz so that wouldn't be a break

unique scaffold
#

@charred bobcat says who?

charred bobcat
#

Says everyone who has half the decency to do so and those who are at least decent at the game

nimble zodiac
#

There’s this thing called training rooms

flat zephyr
#

IDK you have checked the stats but maybe by changing point of view a bit, I'm not talking nonsense. Maybe I am but haven't considered yet

unique scaffold
#

There's also a thing called playing this game for fun. If @flat zephyr is having fun playing low tiers, then let him be

nimble zodiac
#

He is being mad about nerfs tho...?

unique scaffold
#

And since low tiers are balanced, he has no advantages over the 'newbies'. Equipment is also cheap

charred bobcat
#

Have fun clubbing those who just started. Yeah real fun.

flat zephyr
#

The "how boring and unbalanced lower tiers are nowadays" thing not much about nerfs

#

@charred bobcat what's your IGN and server?

charred bobcat
#

Oof u gonna stats him?

flat zephyr
#

Well that's your reroll. I want the real one

unique scaffold
#

@charred bobcat you were also a starter at some point. And you've probably learned some aspects of this game from so called clubbers

charred bobcat
#

Lol i dont play low tiers and thats all there is.

nimble zodiac
#

The slow pace helps new players react and learn in a longer time period. This keeps them from feeling too rushed in a game

flat zephyr
#

@nimble zodiac so let new players have that system not all the players

I suppose, but it seems to bore veterans so it’s like an automatic filter for some

Yes the new system will bore veterans but thinking about older one, I didn't

That's not a problem for me lol.

@charred bobcat I'm still waiting for your (not reroll) id
I can send my reroll also but that's not important at all
Also if you don't care about lower tiers, stay away from the discussion

The reroll he send is well played, but not as well as mine. That's not a matter, I would like to know the actual average play stats

I basically have seal clubbed before but not for stats. The Luchs toon I make were hilarious like pirañas shredding enemies that fall behind

flat zephyr
#

If you would call a t82 with 100 battles and 48 winrate in an account with 65 winrate clubbing, then IDK what to say

charred bobcat
#

That's not clubbing that's the player when they were still learning and bad at the game

flat zephyr
#

That's the clubbing. I skipped t82 and then returned to it much later

charred bobcat
#

If you returned to it later and you were still bad in it then you're just bad, not clubbing

flat zephyr
#

I'm not bad in it, I just don't care about it so you can let it go, play on move, play at bus with weak connection, play at university, anywhere else

drowsy plaza
#

After 3.8 Equipment the Clubbing got ridiculous as WG has never put a single ounce of thought into what it would do to tanks down there. You don’t learn from Seal Clubbers - what’s to be learned about roaring around being an Army of One in a Cruiser or T-46 etc,? Nothing other than how to Club. 99.99% of those clubbers sucked past tier 7

nimble zodiac
#

Then I suppose we’re good now since the low tiers are balanced... A-20 is gonna need a punch tho

flat zephyr
#

Being portable is the concept of this game and also a game means you must have fun
Also you would learn many things if you want to.
Many things I learnt from lower tiers than tier 10

nimble zodiac
#

Probably cause you start low : P

charred bobcat
#

You obviously dont need to learn anything from low tiers anymore

flat zephyr
#

I obviously don't need to learn anything at lower tiers, but the fun is lacking in tier 10

nimble zodiac
#

Is it because of bad players in high tiers?

flat zephyr
#

It's because I have almost maxed out my level

clever void
#

Tier 9 is most fun

flat zephyr
#

So I must play competitive and playing serious lacks fun

quick lichen
#

Have you tried the T49?

#

Hardly serious and definitely fun

flat zephyr
#

Yep. I have it on my other account. It's fun though
Stats are not a matter in it and has all parameters of a fun tank

unique scaffold
#

This is like a grown man complaining that the rules and competition in a little league match are too boring.

flat zephyr
#

I'm complaining about the thing that they were not boring and they made it boring
When you don't have something from the beginning, it's not a problem, but taking back something that people had, makes them unhappy

@obsidian laurel what I said or what he said?

It’s like playing a game that has only 10 levels but the first 5 levels are stale as sh it, I wouldn’t hang around and wait to see how level 10 plays like if the first 5 progression levels suck, seal club era

#

Is gone and that’s good but at the cost of what? They should have addressed that problem in another way I agree with you seal clubbing is harmful

flat zephyr
#

They should have rebalanced the one man army tanks at lower tiers not to nerf all so the whole lower tiers get rekt

quick lichen
#

@obsidian laurel using a space doesn’t mean it’s not a swear word

unique scaffold
#

I don't see the big deal, nor do I care what happens in the lower tiers. I look at the lower tiers the same way I look at a play ground. I want it to be safe for the kids to play in but I have no interest in playing there myself.

What’s clubbing

I guess I’m a clubbier sometimes

hot snow
#

Im guilty of going into the low tiers to play a game or two. Though with the fact i tend to play long enough to do most of my x2's every day i pick a random tank to play and play it till i win. now the low tier tanks i had cant even play because they went overboard. A slight nerf to the tanks that were used to seal club was warranted. enough to discourage the clubbing. But not nerfing them to crap. There is too big a difference between the tier 4 and the tier 5 tanks now. Like going from slogging through a river of molasses in one level and the next is suddenly flying a jet fighter. Glad WG isnt a gardener. you wouldnt have any plants after one visit.

unique scaffold
#

The low tiers aren't meant for you. They are meant for a new player to get acclimated to the game. The new player will never know what the low tiers were like prior to 5.5. They also won't know the pain of going against the players with 15 thousand games in a A-20 or a Leopard.

hot snow
#

Still doesnt change the fact they could stand to take some tips from Thanos

unique scaffold
hot snow
#

Doesnt change the fact that a light tank has worse mobilty stats then the matilda.

unique scaffold
#

So don't play it

#

Look the tech tree is streamlined. There is absolutely no reason a experienced player should be playing much in the low tiers. Even if you are grinding a new line you should be able to move up to tier V in less than a 100 games.

I'm sorry that McDonald's changed their Play Place around and that adults can no longer comfortably play in it but you are just going to have to deal with it.

I agree with Spartacus. My dad was new in the game and was suffering againts disgusting cruiser or Dw2 platoons. When I check their stats they all had around 600-10k+ thousands of battles in them. I'm glad they are nerf.

The collector tanks will sit in my garage until they day they are returned to some semblence of normalcy.

Doubt they will. Its better to sell them for gold and buy yourself a good prem tank

@hot snow don’t be dumb that will never happen sell them and buy a decent tank

well.. ones theyve put out on blitz at least

Get the VK if you can

crystal spoke

Not even finished researching the prior one

stark sinew

I am close to the vk but not the prot.

summer mortar

The nerf was much needed, tier 9 TD's had trouble penning it. The armor profile was origionally identical to PC, but on pc 80% of the time you get matched up with tanks 2 tiers higher, and when a jagderoo was shooting you, there wasnt much balancing needed

crystal spoke

I have no interest in it

And I could easily deal with it in t7s

Ok thanks guys.

Vk wasn't that hard to pen.
Either go around and hit from the side, hit the lower plate, or hit the cupola.

Just dont head on it

#

Or track it and go around and if you arnt fast enough load pramo

In all honesty everything is ez to pen, but when you can sit out in the open and just play maus at tier 8, there is obviosly a problem

dim field
#

If you're fighting a hulldown super heavy frontally, you're doing it wrong.

#

The vk could do that beacuse so many people let them do that. The problem was players refusing to learn

summer mortar
#

According to this guy, going out into the open, to get into the enimes line of fire was what it took to kill the VK 100 origionally

dim field
#

Where did they say that?

summer mortar
#

you didnt I interpretted it that way though. When the VK is on top of the windmill hill on Abbey, or whatever the maps called, how the hell are you supposed to "get around the side" without getting yeeted into oblivion?

dim field
#

There was no interpretation needed. If we are refering to the same person they said could deal with it in a tier 7

unique scaffold
dim field
#

I'm guessing the map you are refering to is the summer town that starts with an A and has a town in the center?Not castilla but the other one

unique scaffold
summer mortar
#

Anyone can deal with a lone tier 8 heavy, it dosent take much skill. What I'm saying is, that the amount of time it took to get around the side of the vk (EG, killing enemy TDs, getting lucky with one which yoloed, etc was way to hard to do. @unique scaffold Hes not off-topic, we are talking about how broken the origionaly VK 100 was

crystal spoke
#

We were discussing if the vk100 was balanced prenerf

summer mortar
#

@dim field Yeah I was talking about castilla, not the newer map

dim field
#

One of these things will usually work against a vk even pre-nerf

  1. Aim for the lower plate or cupola
  2. Become friends with a TD
    3)Play as a td in future matches if it's too big of a problem
  3. Go around it
  4. Side hug it.
  5. Talk to a teammate and double team it
  6. Attack from a different elevation
  7. Avoid the Vk for the time being and focus other targets.
crystal spoke
#

Ohh ok that's the map you ment I would just go town and hit it from the side

summer mortar
#

You say these things like random battle teammates listen to each other

dim field
#

If a Vk is on hill by the windmill, you can go to the upper town and fire from their or one of the side mountains. If you have teammates remember a vk cannot always just worry about you. Avoid it if you have too much trouble and focus other enemy tanks and then come back to it.

crystal spoke
#

That works too

dim field
#

Teammates dont always listen, but remember it goes both ways and you can manipulate your own teammates if you need to. You can use them as bait, or pull the vk towards them. For your Castilla example, kill the enemy tanks avoid the vk since they are sitting in one spot. You can save them for last and pluck away or just cap the base, the vk will either move or lose.

@unique scaffold it was to warn you and the community

fun fact: vk100 never was unbalanced and op. it needed just a slightly traverse nerf (to make it even slower (anyway slowest tier 8 tank)and min accuracy nerf. it always had an huge cupola of 200mm, penetrable ezly by any accurate tier 8 heavy tank, and a super weak lower plate of 120mm(now even weaker, 100mm, my t43 can pen that with ap without many problems) people complaining because werent able to pen vk100 frontally everywhere like they do against any german tank, and had to aim weakspots? it's a 20km tank guys, open your eyes.
IS3 & co dont even have weakspots, with x2 times the speed, but no one is complaining. people comparing vk100 to kv4 are just .... noobs? kv4 has 35km and better overall moblity by an huge amount, why would it be compared with vk100??

unique scaffold

Dude 200 mm cupola isn't weakspots for many t 8 tanks

grave bear

@unique scaffold i said Tier 8 heavies. plus, every tier 8 tank except t49 can pen that cupola at least with gold, plus it's super big and was not even supposed to be here .
is3 defender has same vk100 gun depression, unpenetrable turret, no weakspots and x2 its top speed. gg

And what are you supposed to do in another slow heavy tanks when you met vk p in hulldown? Run away and hope that you will meet someone else? And is 3 frontal armor is weak spot for almost all t 7-9 tanks

What? Don't have even slight problem in penning is3 armor from front . I don't play soviet heavys , your point is just dumm

@unique scaffold are you reading or not? i said HULLDOWN as you did.
is3defender in hulldown is penetrable only if you're Su101/su100m1 /ISU-152 using prammo.
while vk100 now is penetrable by any tier 8 tank and most tier 7 tanks with at least pramo. but has 0.5 the speed
what a balance

unique scaffold

It's not frontal armor ,but turret armor omg

grave bear
#

@unique scaffold it's frontal armor, frontal turret, obviusly speaking about turret if i said HULLDOWN
otherwise i would've said frontal hull.

unique scaffold

No, no it's not , tell what do you mean cuz I'm not going to guess , and is 3 don't got to many chance of going hulldown when it's low profile tanks with 5 degrees of depression

anyway, vk100's hull is godlike as it's supposed to be only in sidescrape. it had one of the weakest lower plates of all tier 8 heavies, even at best angle.

obj252u has also better upper plate and turrer, with 1/6 size cupolas Obj252U is known to have weak lower plate, still better by far than vk100. l

And got moon sized lower plate while having cupolas that can get penned by anyone without having to spam gold

many tier 8 heavies have usually 190+ lower plate.

Well no , I just told you that after checking it on blitz hangar

the cupolas are tiny in the 252u. vk 100 is just a buffed chieftan

@unique scaffold lmao please go away

Tiger II literally has 185mm lower plate without even angling, ALL IS tanks tier 8 except Is2sh have 190+ also

Then why do I have to play chief like med lol @twilit crystal oh fine ,then but still not close to it

im saying the cupola

grave bear

also t54 mod 1 has better lowrr plate than vk100.

twilit crystal

^ this is absurd. People said they couldnt pen a super heavy. I agree the vk100p had some other problems like the traverse being really good and the accuracy but that was about it

grave bear

now vk100 has trash accuracy, horrible lower plate, no mobility except traverse which is average and horrible turret. gg.

unique scaffold
#

@grave bear vk 100 p lower plate is poorly angled which is normal for tanks that toll (e100) , that's also how they got balanced , toger 2 got well angled and small lower plate , but don't have upper plate nor good turret , then comparing them isn't good idea . I'm sorry it's late and I'm a bit exhausted

This is better than a movie

grave bear
#

@unique scaffold what you just said, cant understand a word.

unique scaffold
#

@grave bear I think you should be able to understand now

grave bear
#

comparing them has sense since it has literally HALF the speed, for having even bigger and weaker weakspots.
the problem isnt the poorly angling. it's just 100mm thick. it was already weak enough, 120mm before the nerf, was stll weak but balanced. now is too weak, if you add also all the other nerfs it got.

unique scaffold
#

@grave bear you are ignoring upper plate turret armor gun side armor etc

grave bear
#

@unique scaffold if you know how to aim, huge lp and cupola are enough.

unique scaffold
#

It's like telling that troll gun was the best gun on m48 cuz it had best dpm

grave bear
#

Obvously im not saying tiger II has better armor than vk100. but vk100 should have a bit better frontal armor, Just like it was before the nerf, because it's BY HUGE FAR the slowest tier 8 tank.

unique scaffold
#

Knowing how to aim doesn't mean that rng and gun statistics will let you hit

grave bear
#

with vk100 you can bouncs only useless russian heavies newbies, you cant rely more in nothing, just sidescrape from the side without cupola.

I feel dumb asking, but whats rng?

Basically luck

lost island

Ok

grave bear

if vk100 cant get in positions where it's totally unpenetrable at least against mediums and heavies standard ammos, WHAT'S the point of having an HALF the speed of any tier 8 heavy?

unique scaffold
#

@grave bear it is supposed to side scrap with that side armor , and it isn't slowest at 15 t28 got same speed and it weighs 120 tons while e 100 Weight is 129 tons , do you think vk should move around 60 km per h and ram everyone

grave bear
#

@unique scaffold vk100 is slower than at15 and T28.
dont put in my mouth words i never said.
i NEVER said make vk100 faster. i said its weakspots were already enough weak and huge. gun accuracy nerf was enough.

unique scaffold
#

Check the facts , it isn't , that's exactly why I do check what I am talking about , and you said that vk is slowest t8

indigo knot
#

Vk100.01p only needed traverse nerf and a gun dispersion nerf.....

grave bear
#

Plus ram damage is not only counted by tons. vk100 rams way less than e100.
and with 20km you cant ram litrally nothing
plus read what i say. i said it can only do sidescrape with the side without big cupola. anything esle is powercreeped by IS tanks.

The ones with the Russian tanks couldn't aim at weak spot and complained about it being OP

@grave bear I told you how much both tanks exactly weight , why are you trying to act like facts don't exist

grave bear
#

@unique scaffold I told you Weight is totally useless if you speak about ram damage, developers can put any amount they want of ram damage as they did with vk100, which does way less than e100, plus with 20km any tank can go away from you even in backward.

In general WG and many players can't see any other tank other than Russian tanks doing well in battles so nerf them .....as in wz120ft rules tier 8....add 252u

@grave bear well nope , it is pretty crucial , frontall armor speed and weight are 3 important things about raming ,dont believe me ? Get rammed by jgpz e100

grave bear

the fact that is triggering me is that people want vk100 to be balanced when there are some totally unpenetrable 35+km tanks going around.
@unique scaffoldlmao do you know english?

indigo knot
#

Vk100p can't ram coz of top speed ....only fools who don't know how to drive get rammed to death

usually more weight means better ram damage, but isnt like that always.
cause developers can put any amount they want of ram damage to balance the tank, #4425th time i write that again. gg @unique scaffold

I never changed the way i said it, i literally copy pasted the messae ROTFL

do you think ramming amx 50b's side with another frontal amx 50b does same damage because they have same weight, Mr. super smart dude @unique scaffold?

Dude stop spamming or get it into one block of words, I have to check the facts, and you don't , then don't make it harder for me than it has to be

Vk100 without counting its super slow speed, totally useless and able to ram only tracked tanks, has way less ram damage than e100, even if the weight is the same.

@unique scaffold is not my fault if you have 20 battles and need to check everything, just understand and accept what better players tells to you.

And I was joking about vk 100 p going 70 km per h and ramming everyone , and dude I though we are trying to talk like civilized players , then don't try to insult me cuz it's just sad

well yes, if you never noticed that ramming the side or rear of a tank deals more damage than ramming its front, means that you have 20 battles.

twilit crystal

I dont get why people complain they cant pen a vk 100 when you cant pen an is3 from the front using a tier 7 med

grave bear
#

@unique scaffold IS3 frontal armor is "useless" as it should be, since has HALF speed of vk100, but fun fact, every tank with less than 195mm needs gold to pen is3 frontally, while for vk100 you need 170 pen.

unique scaffold
#

@twilit crystal I'm pretty sure that t43 can do it on gold

twilit crystal
#

so? you can pen a vk 100 with gold too even the old one

grave bear
#

@unique scaffold t43 can pen vk100 frontally with ap now. howbalanced

unique scaffold
#

@grave bear I did play t34-1 long time ago but it can pen it from front , vk 100 p Weight is still 120 tons , and that's the way how does weakspots work sunshine

grave bear
#

vk100 has just 165mm lower plate excluding the perfect angling where you have 172mm lp and 165mm weakpoint behind tracks, but it's super easy to just do 1 meter forward and see that lower plate angled at 150mm.
i dont get the point why would i care of his 120 tons
@unique scaffoldyeah "long" ago vk100 had 120mm lower plate instead of 100mm, so that at least tier 7 meds needed to load gold for lower plate.

unique scaffold

Let's put 170 mm lower plate and 300 mm cupola so you could defend it and say it isn't op

i said before the nerf its armor was okay, needed traverse and min accuracy nerf only
stop being salty and saying useless things that i never ever Even tried to think

@lost island is3's hull armor is paper for any tier 8 heavy tank with 220+ pen anyway, but is3's strongess its his amazing turret and mobility, plus super trollish side.
Caernarvon and Conqueror are very good tanks. they have both amazing laser guns, amazing traverse and average + mobility, with plus super trollish turrets and op gun depression, they're not meant for sidescrape, caernarvon hull sometime can do some bounces at tier 8.

Ferdinand needs a buff, it's a nerfed jpanther II in every aspect.

the slightly better frontal hull armor you get compared to jp2 is useless if you count that jp2 has way better mobility and Camo rate, way better superstructure armor and slightly better gun overall.

@grave bear no it's like comparing rhm and at 15 , these tanks got their roles in battle and we shouldn't compare each to other

Nobody can. It’s how premiums work. As soon as there’s a tech tree tank that is a threat to people’s premiums they scream and cryyyyyy OP until it’s nerfed to the ground. It’s how it’s always been. The VK 100.01 P was better than most mediocre tech tree tanks and now it’s horrible... the same will happen to future lines.

quick lichen
#

The 252u doesn’t feel “op” because it’s just a little better than the already op is style category of blitz

#

The VK 100.01 P was more obvious because it broke the “mold” of is spam

#

It was a unique Goliath compared to the cookie cutter low fast and angled Soviet/Chinese options

You could also angle it way more effectively than you could ever angle a pike nose is tank

IMHO the Vk 100.01(P) never should have been nerfed. Was it a good tank - yeah in the right hands. But it was still a fairly easy kill. I Clubbed a lot of them in my IS-6 with DPM gun before their nerf. My Pz58 stats are higher 76% WR vice 73% and I don’t see anyone screaming that the Pz58 is OPAF

@twilit crystal Balance only exist when russians are better then germans comrade.

twilit crystal

The only real strength of the vk100 and the reason why it won so much is because it was perfect to counter IS tanks. their innacurate guns would miss while the vks tall height would rekt the armor of the IS tanks

deft owl

German tanks doing great=nerf immidiately
Russian tanks doing great=balanced

Vk100 was nowhere close to being op. Nerf made it total useless. Cuppola and lower plate can pennable so easily for a 20 kph tank.

#

Wg nerfed it just by looking its winrate. Problem is they totally forget maus style tanks always have better winrates then the rest. Vk100 was balanced and nerf should be reverted.

twilit crystal
#

id argue it was a touch OP. but not game breakingly

brisk lily
#

252u isn't as broken as everyone(that doesn't have it) think it is
that lower plate is so big and weak that it's very easy to pen
also the slow traverse makes it easy to circle
and the inaccurate gun and long reload counters any real luck shots

It’s as bushka says, just a little bit better than all the other is tanks

by the way, if you want an overpowered tier 8, its the 120 GoldNoob Fake Tank
stupidly troll armor at the front, stupid mobility, stupid DPM with a stupidly good gun
its basically Mao's wet dream turned into a tank, tier 7s have at least a chance to pen the 252u on the front at the lower plate, this thing?

heh good luck on that

the 120 is another tier of OP that cant be debated

That has nothing to do with the vk 100 discussion

Was a touch OP. Nothing broken like 252 or WZ 120 GFT though. And god forbid we have any tech tree tanks coming close to our premiums

deft owl
#

252u is only better then other is tanks only when it can hide its huge lower plate. When it cant its the worst since those amazing upper plate armor became totally useless.

#

Which means obj 252u will be widely used in tournaments. Unlike is3 and is-5 its pike nose is extremely reliable.

flat zephyr
#

Vk100 shouldn't have had got armor nerf. Traverse speed and gun accuracy was enough I guess.
Also 252u isn't op and it cannot be compared to the VK at it's op times. The more you face a 252 the more you understand how to pen it easily but VK could only had one weak spot facing tier7 and that was that small lower plate.

unpopular opinion: 183 is underpowered

why: There was so much hype and outrage about this "OP" tank, I finally got it not that long ago and was disappointed. Extremely poor gun handling, no armor at all, poor mobility and awful camo, nothing really OP about it all. Sure it's gun does big damage but as soon as you shoot it you are dead or you are so far you don't get spotted but can't hit anything.

Yeah its "OP" like the vk 100.1 (p)

But it’s still a game breaking tank b3cause of that big pen GIANT alpha gun... the one tank, it’s strengths, and how people play it ruin games at tier ten and how they should be played. Instead of dynamic games you get morons camping in the back, firing one shot, 1 shooting a tank, and then dying in their own spawn.

@unique scaffold Its not unpopular opinion. Check the devs answer section. 183 has the worst overall winrates by a large margin.

Honestly the tank just needs to be completely removed.... I’d say the badger would replace it but why would the devs just give us a new tier ten when they can sell it in crates, right?

183 cannot be well balanced for Blitz due to the alpha and pen. Frankly I think most of us agree it would have been better never to add to Blitz.

Honestly I'd rather them give it unreasonable stats then removing it for example make its stats closer to that of a tX 152mm gun then where it is now

Well it should not be outright removed, I think its camo should be buffed and it taken out of the techtree and made a collectors tank like the lower tiered tanks that got removed, and make it worth like 4000-5000 gold.

Tbh I comparing e25 and su122 54 is accurate , but seems like blitz meta don't let this kind of tank to be fully broken

Thats because it relies on sitting in front of targets for longer periods of time to burn them down instead of putting out big alpha shots with good DPM. The Su can kind of do that but its just too fragile and there’s too many big guns a the tier.

#

To me, it feels insanely broken when it just waltzes up to me or a teammate and shreds them apart before it can be killed. So any half-competent player can usually focus one guy and remove all their HP before being rekt.

It's all about the gun

orchid grove

The gun is good, but it's not nearly good enough to compensate for how bad everything else is

unique scaffold
#

Don't play it as a heavy

orchid grove
#

The thing is, why would you play Conq when other tanks do the job so much better? 50 120 is a better support heavy because of the better mobility and autoloader, and M103 has about 90% of the Conq's gun performance with actual turret armor and gun depression.

The real nail in the coffin is the fact that all the meds have more DPM and accuracy, and more mobility, without sacrificing much armor

rancid drift
#

Idk, I feel like I consistently get the same damage as my IS series team mates with a longer reload and less pen. This makes playing alongside others who have more damage armor speed and a better reload difficult. And the huge turret with weak side armor makes me a big target from far away and I also am on the lower end of health

#

Fully upgraded it can pull it’s weight in t8-9 games but can’t do anything useful in t9-10

orchid grove
#

For how bad the mobility and armor on the Conq are, the gun just isn't nearly good enough to compensate. Especially without good alpha, or an autoloader, accuracy alone cannot justify making it a good gun

I sold it after about 50 games with 4 kills total and about a 10% win rate. (Im still talking about my st1 btw)

cerulean tulip
#

Was it stock ?

flat zephyr
#

@orchid grove first of all conq has the hesh, which 103 doesn't. It has the best DPM among tier 9 heavies and the best gun handling.
Also 103's turret is not well armored, it can do against tier 8 but easily penned with gold at tier 9 and 10.
And then, conq is a heavium as you would know and the armor and mobility aren't so bad like it's better than 103
Actually I would prefer conq over 103 in terms of everything

orchid grove
#
  1. The HESH doesn't pen that many more things than a standard HE shell, and overall is still very much just a roll of the dice (and just failing one in 4 HESH shells means you were better off with AP)
  2. While the DPM is better than the heavies, it's still weaker than TDs and meds, so it's merely average for the tier, being 15th out of a total of 31 different tier IXs.
  3. M103 turret can be penned in the cheeks sure, but for pubbies, it's a difficult shot; and since the armor is based on the angling, not the thickness, loading gold actually does very little to change the armor profile. However, the Conq's turret can be penned literally anywhere, even the mantlet. Only the edges of the mantlet can bounce shots. Even the 50 B has a more trustworthy turret
  4. If Conq fits your definition of a "heavium", you probably get motion sickness easily. While the p/w ratio is ok, the speed limit of 34 is horrific. There are literally 4 tanks with a lower speed limit in the tier; and they are the Tortoise, T95, VK 45, and Mauschen. The p/w ratio doesn't matter when the speed limit is so ridiculously low, that you can't rotate anyway. Admittedly the M103 has the same garbage mobility, but at least the M103 has the turret armor and gun depression to back it up (on top of getting HEAT ammo). If you want to talk "heavium", the only real contenders are the 50 120, and IS-8 which are still a good bit slower than the slowest med.

#

What would be the best way for WG to fix the conqueror? Mobility buff? Turret armor buff? DPM?

flat zephyr
#

50-120 is more likely to be a lightium😂. Also a heavium is not necessarily called to a heavy tank that is fast. And comparing to 103, it's more mobile considering traverse speeds and it only lacks -1 gun depression
Also about the hesh thing, the gun handling is good enough that in good hands, you would never miss unless some RN jesus happen.
About the Dpm thing, it's the concept of a medium or TD to have more DPM than heavies. Else heavies would be all rounders and there would not be any balance.
Also m103 was one of the most painful grinds of tier9 to me and conq was one of the most joyful ones. You can check the average performance in both tanks that might help a bit.
And BTW, you can't pen the mantlet of conq. I lost count how many 183 ap shots it did bounce.

#

Also conq has more dpm than t30 or wz111-1 gft

orchid grove
#

@obsidian osprey That's honestly a good question. I think Conq would be amazing if it got a turret armor buff like it did on PC, but I think that would make it OP unless they nerfed down the gun (but that would just make it an M103 clone). If you ask me, I think the most reasonable thing would be to make it better at the support heavy role, primarily by giving it a 40km/h speed limit to almost keep pace with the meds it's supposed to support.

flat zephyr
#

And also not all meds have more dpm than conq
E.g. type61 and wz120
Some others have very slight dpm advantage (below 100 dpm) like t54e1 and 30 1er

obsidian osprey
#

Hmm yeah I like the idea of the mobility buff the most too. Didn’t they buff the Centurion and/or FV4202 top speed at some point with decent results?

flat zephyr
#

They buffed fv4202's top speed many years ago

orchid grove
#

@flat zephyr The mobility on 103 and Conq are functionally identical. Me and a friend raced them across the road on black goldville; there wasn't any noticeable difference. And traverse is not really an advantage since neither have any traverse issues.

@obsidian osprey Yah, 4202 and Cent used to only 40km/h

flat zephyr
#

103 lacks turret traverse speed bad

orchid grove
#

Also, the advantage of 8 degrees gun depression vs. 7 is pretty substantial. 8 is the bare minimum for a lot of hull down spots, so 7 functionally plays like 6 a lot of the time

#

BTW, you know you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel when you need to argue turret traverse 😂
Turret traverse buffs are basically a meme 😂

flat zephyr
#

Then the nerf to is7's turret traverse was pointless and they should give it back😐

orchid grove
#

The IS-7 nerf didn't really do anything

#

They only nerfed the spaced armor screen by 10mm; which doesn't affect anything. AP/APCR shells go straight through the old 15mm screens anyway, they just bounce off the super angled primary armor underneath (which is still there), and HEAT shells still get absorbed by the spacing

flat zephyr
#

Not much but they butchered nerf after nerf

orchid grove
#

The spaced armor nerf is the only nerf I can remember them ever hitting the IS-7 with, and overall, it was pretty inconsequential

flat zephyr
#

The hull and turret traverse speed nerf just butchered the mobility. I don't care armor nerf but the nerf to it's mobility killed the tank

#

Then you must have been missing some nerfs

#

You think is7s nerf had almost no effect then?😐

orchid grove
#

Well, IS-7 was never really good at traverse anyway. As long as it has the straight line mobility, it's still good
I actually really like my IS-7. It's still a beast for aggressive play

#

If I were to change anything about IS-7, I'd just buff up the turret cheeks to 390mm like they are on PC, so people can't HEAT pen them anymore

flat zephyr
#

Believe me you are missing big part of is7's history in blitz. No one could circle that beast

orchid grove
#

@flat zephyr I remember always being able to circle IS-7's, and I've been here since the beginning, but I think I do remember them nerfing the traverse now; although I remember it being a very minor nerf to the traverse

flat zephyr
#

It was major nerf to turret travers speed and not much minor to hull traverse speed

orchid grove
#

Well, I found the notes for the traverse nerf; it was a nerf from 25 down to 23... which is honestly kind of negligible

flat zephyr
#

Back to topic, conq is one of the best heavies in it's tier in the game

orchid grove
#

@flat zephyr That's a tough case to make when tier 9 has some of the best heavies tier for tier. Conq can't really compete against the likes of 50 120, E-75, STI, and IS-8

flat zephyr
#

50 120 is trash, also is8, but e75 and st1 would beat conq

unique scaffold
#

Oh no.

orchid grove
#

50 120 is amazing. Excellent mobility, and it's difficult to argue with 1200 clip potential. Also IS-8 gets overlooked a lot. The mobility is also excellent, the turret is reliable against pubbies, it gets 420 alpha, the 2nd best DPM of tier 9 heavies and nice HEAT shells, and on top of all this, the gun handling is actually better than Conq (albeit with worse aim time and dispersion). Other than weak gun depression, and a weak frontal hull, it's hard to knock the IS-8

flat zephyr
#

I am a fan of both 120 and is8, but it doesn't mean they are not trash

unique scaffold
#

@flat zephyr agree

orchid grove
#

If you were to ask me to rank the tier 9 heavies, it would go like this (best to worst): E-75, IS-8, AMX 50 120, STI, M103, WZ-111-14, Kpfz 70, Conq, Mauschen, VK 45 B

I would go with: e75- st1- conq-mauschen- vk45- wz111- kpfpz- 103- 50 120

#

Oh god... how the heck did VK 45 make it so high up that list...

flat zephyr
#

Because it's good enough to be on top

orchid grove
#

That thing is a tragedy on tracks... Rear mounted turret, turret is vulnerable to gold, fairly weak sides, awful mobility, awful DPM, trash gun handling, the list goes on...

#

Honestly, the only thing it has going for it is good alpha, and a decent upper plate

flat zephyr
#

All of them single handedly are not the case the overall tank is the case.
For example take the m46 Patton. You can count hell a lot of downsides, still it's in the top3 tier9 mediums

orchid grove
#

M46 doesn't really have many actual downsides besides weak pen. Everything else is at least decent, but it has some standout strengths like gun depression, DPM, and gun handling. Nothing on it is really actually bad. But the VK 45 is actively bad. Like, it shines out in negative ways, like the 3rd worst DPM in tier IX, the 3rd lowest speed limit in the tier, the overall least accurate gun on a heavy, the rear mounted turret, the 2nd worst prammo pen on a heavy etc...; and the only strengths it actually has are not nearly amazing enough to compensate for how awful everything else is (kind of like Conq)

flat zephyr
#

M46 as lots of downsides. Paper armor, no pen at all, not the best aim and gund handeling, 2nd least top speed among mediums and it's a big tank.
Vk though it suffers mobility, the gun is quite the same as e75 but the aim on move, and it's much much better than st1. The armor is quite well and being rear mounted turret isn't a weakspot. It has ups and downs it cant be called a weakspot

orchid grove
#

M46 is fairly paper sure, but it's HE resistant (unlike the Leopard and Bat), and the funky turret angles, as well as the mantlet can bounce the occasional shot; which makes it about par for the course, and while the fully aimed dispersion isn't good for a med, it's still decent on the whole, but the godlike gun handling means that M46 pretty much doesn't need to stop and aim. Moreover, 48km/h is only a little less than average, being better than the 54E1, Cent, and tied with the Type 61, but the p/w ratio is also decent

And the VK's armor profile sucks. The turret is easily penned by prammo, and the rear mounted turret makes playing hull down next to impossible (not that you could even with the weak turret). On top of this, the rear mounted turret means you HAVE to sidescrape around corners, which the VK sucks at due to the sides being completely flat, and only 100mm with no spaced armor either. If this weren't bad enough, the lower plate is still a fairly easy pen, and just to rub salt in the wound, HEAT shells can pen the upper plate too.
Rear mounted turret is absolutely a disadvantage since you can always reverse sidescrape in a front mounted/center mounted turret, but you can't reverse angle-peek in a rear mounted turret, nor can you hull down well

speaking about vk45b... fun fact is that vk45b has same e75's turret, same gun handling, same dpm.(the gun is godly accurate on both tanks)
plus, rear mounted turret is amazingly useful for sidescrape, counting also that vk45b has better frontal armor than e75, it has same effectiveness but thicker base armor, so suffers less changes of tank angling like going downhill, plus lower plate is super small
all that is not enough for vk45b to be in pair with the op e75, but it's still a very very good tank,
take e75, make it a bit slower (it has just 5km less top speed, everything else is literally equal except 2-3 degrees of traverse) and way more driver's skill demanding: vk45b

worst tier 9 heavies: (random order)
m103 (it's just a slower conqueror 10 times bigger with maybe better hull and way worse gun by huge far)
IS-8 (no words for it, fun to play but meh)
wz 111 (same for is8)
Mauschen (it's just a 1k times slower e75 with bigger cheecks and cupola, and weaker lower plate, but thicker overall armor, still not that amazing tank)
KPF 70 (this tank has just turret armor, okaysh mobility but gun is too meh excluding alpha, i would still prefer any other tier 9 heavy gun instead of that)
amx 50 120 (i love playing this tank, same for 50 100, but this tank is surely not on the top ht tier 9 for 2 simple reasons: accuracy and gun elevation/depression, both too bad for a paper big tank and combined kills any kind of tank's versatility.)

I disagree vk being horrible but e75 is much more allrounder due to its turret placement and 20 mm more side armor.

grave bear

@deft owl i also disagree vk45b being horrible

#

anyway, saying is8 is good because has 2nd highest dpm is stupid, that tank really has just the gun, everything else is horrible, the gun is not good enough to justify its trash armor
it obviusly has high dpm, without it would be totally useless.

deft owl
#

Is-8 only relies on its turret armor. Hull armor is mediocre for a heavy.

grave bear
#

btw it's still useless speaking about dpm since every tier 9 heavy is around 2250-2500 dpm except the OP conqueror with 2700 dpm, you wouldnt even notice the dpm difference in these tanks if you play conqueror.

#

amyway, conqueror has the most accurate tier 9 gun in any aspect, is8 has slightly better on the move dispersion, which becames worse that conq's one combined with is8's min dispersion.

#

3 combined values of on the move dispersion of is8 are
0.051 less than conq, but conq has 0.045 better min dispersion, basically they have same on the move dispersion only if turning turret, moving forward + traverse tank, if you remove 1 of these actions, conqueror will have noticeable better on the move disp. than is8.

Is-8 is under rated

I hated mine when I first started it

#

grave bear

yeah i like playing it but still conqueror has better accuracy than is8 in all aspects, someone above here was saying not
i still would play conqueror over is8/m103/wz111
you lose even more hull armor and top speed, but you have amazing laser gun, still strong turret, gun depression and op traverse

#

ST-1 to me is a good tank but never liked it, it's so boring to play, awful horrible accuracy on the move (0.212-0.212-0.136 vs 180-180-160 of e75) play e75 over st-1 all the time, st-1 has same traverse speed as mauschen, same gun depression as e75 but worse accuracy, better turret but anything else is worse compared to e75, there is no space at tier 9 for st-1 imo, it can only hulldown, at least all other heavies except mauschen and vk45b have different playstyles than e75, so they dont get powercreeped by it and are still fun to play, like is8 and 120, even if st-1 is better than them.

@supple thistle well playing the devils advocate here you must remember WG balance tanks based on stats of a certain player group.

supple thistle
#

Yeah, but that's only 1 factor in what balances a tank, and if they used every player's stats the variance would be way too high to make any significant changes on.
Even then, it isn't about who plays and doesn't play the tank, it's about what you can do with the tank and how easily or difficult it is to do. The Obj263 for instance was OP before they nerfed the gun mantle because you could just drive forward at near invincibility and melt anything with that insane DPM. Now that it's nerfed, you can still do that, but you have to work a lot harder for it and it doesn't always work.

twilit crystal
#

how would increasing sample size increase variance lol?

humble spear
#

Well the more the data the more different/similar results you're gonna get

supple thistle
#

The average stats of all the players who play this game combined is 45% win rate. They assume it's 50% wins and 50% losses with the 5% being taken out of the whole because some matches draw. In reality, there's a couple hundred super unicums who almost never lose, or when they lose they do it with 3000+ damage, and 30% of the players who jump in, drive forward, fire 2 or 3 shots then die doing no or very little damage.

Rather than play a gigantic game of who's who, they find the median and mode of the 2 groups, remove the back end of people who are just crap and compare what looks like the middle to what looks like the top. You can then plot a chart to give you an idea of who's doing what. After you find that variance, you can bring in other stats to see if it's consistent with the balance of the game or not. If you included all the players, the plot would be heavily skewed back to 45% because most players just aren't that good in the game.

This is an extremely simplified version of what happens, but it should illustrate how using literally everybody who plays a tank wouldn't be very helpful.

I again would argue that half the reason why the vk 100 was because people didn’t know how to play against them

#

I had dozens of tier 7 light and medium tanks shooting me from the front while stationary

#

You can’t blame a tank for its opponents being incompetent

unique scaffold
#

It turned too quickly, the cupola on top was anything but a weak spot and the snap shot capabilities were insane for its alpha

dim field
#

Cupola was fine. I can understand the gripe about the turn speed and gun acc though.

quick lichen
#

It could have used a few degrees off the turret and hull

#

Now ap rounds pen the cupola

unique scaffold
#

Now standard rounds can penetrate the weak point

drowsy plaza
#

@supple thistle you can’t balance tanks based on the 48.3% median player. Meds and Lights would be OPAF in the hands of decent players. Not to mentioned SU’s

supple thistle
#

That's the exact opposite of what I said happen

drowsy plaza
#

The balance is based of 55-65% players on the Ru Server - with some small considerations to other regions.

supple thistle
#

@drowsy plaza
That what I just said

drowsy plaza
#

You said it in a million words 😏. But they don’t do any sort of regression to find certain ranges. Frankly I think it would be better if it was balanced by 55-65% players in that tier - but then that may get a little too restrictive

supple thistle
#

@quick lichen
No, the VK100.01P was (and still may be) overpowered. I don't understand why people think 175mm on a weak spot is so bad when there's, like, 4 mediums with th much pen on the standard rounds. As if ring penetrated from the front with standard rounds is something that isn't supposed to happen.

You are completely invincible from the front to most of the mediums you will come across. Your lower plate is the smallest at the tier and surrounded by tracks. Your cupola can still be angled and isn't that big. Your side armor is still not easy to pen. Your gun has the highest alpha for any heavy at the tier. It's gun handling is better than most other heavies as well. The UFP is still invincible. You have more effective armor on the cupola than other heavy tanks have at all. And for all that, you are still more mobile than all the "heavy" heavy tanks besides the IS clones.

unique scaffold
#

@supple thistle I agree with you , but vk 100 p goes on about 20 km per h

quick lichen

I guess the 252u doesn’t have more effective armor than 220 mm

Meds and lights shouldn't be able to frontally pen a hulldown super heavy.

Firstly, why should a medium not be able to pen a hull down super heavy at tier 8? Secondly, why do you think that sniping that cupola is easy in a medium or light? Third, exactly which meds outside of the ones known for high pen can do this? Finally, why don't you just shoot them?

It's harder to pen is7 frontaly than them ...

Super heavies sacrifice all their speed and sometimes gun for their armor. If meds and lights are able to frontally pen a super heavy while at its strongest then it's armor and speed sacrifice were essentially useless.

supple thistle

You must not understand what game balance means then
Also, it's kind of weird you started listing tier 10 tanks when we're talking about tier 8,no?

Why play a heavy if you get penned frontally while hull down

And you sacrifice going over 20 kph

supple thistle

Yes, I know you move for a reason. What the question is now is how is the VK different in the hull down regard than these tanks (which by the way, specialize in being hull down) when they are both difficult to pen when hull down and moving?

#

What I'm trying to point out to you here is that you want it to be as good hull down as a T34, as good sidescraping as the KV4, more mobile than other heavy tanks that are good at only 1 of those, have more alpha than all of them and no frontal weak spots for meds all at the same time, and you think this is balanced.

dim field
#

One of these things will usually work against a vk even pre-nerf

  1. Aim for the lower plate or cupola
  2. Become friends with a TD
    3)Play as a td in future matches if it's too big of a problem
  3. Go around it
  4. Side hug it.
  5. Talk to a teammate and double team it
  6. Attack from a different elevation
  7. Avoid the Vk for the time being and focus other targets.
supple thistle
#

The T32 has a terrible gun, the T34 has a terrible hull, the KV4 has a bigger weak spot and more pen zones and is just as slow with less alpha, and the VK100 gets all of them? Why?

grave bear
#

Kv4 as slow as vk100??? lmao?? where??
35km vs 20km
kv4 is just a bit slower than is3 with less traverse

dim field
#

Is it the kv-4 or kv-5 that goes really fast forwards?

supple thistle
#

When do you ever hit 35km in the KV4? Maybe going downhill

warped anchor
#

The vk is the slowest tier 8 heavy with the biggest profile,the tank legit depends on the map,if its a open map good luck not getting penned with that fat side.

supple thistle
#

Let's be real here, the KV4 isn't going to be breaking any land speed records or helping the medium flank anytime soon

warped anchor
#

The armor is strong on the fromt because thats the purpose of a super heavy,and first of all why are you going at a vk by the front? In a medium?

grave bear
#

fun fact: kv4 is faster than lowe except traverse

supple thistle
#

It's not what I do, but that's the complaint here, that the hatch can be penned from the front by mediums

fiery flame
#

Here’s the main thing:

Vk is good because armour

  • people can’t aim

Vk is bad because it’s slow

grave bear
#

i usually eat vk100s with tiger II because thwy're Easy pen

warped anchor
#

The purpose of a medium is to flank and be on the mid range not go up front to super heavies thats just common sense.

quick lichen
#

Idk why you’re obsessed with the idea of a hull down vk 100

dim field
#

Most ofthe time when i play mediums. I just go around the vk. When I'm a Td or a heavy i go for the cupola or lower plate. If the vk for some reason gets into a really good hulldown point and I legitimately cannot pen them. I leave and focus on other tanks come back to the vk when it's out of position or it's the last alive.

quick lichen
#

I played 100 battles at 87% wr in mine. I didn’t go hull down all that much because that’s not how you usually play German heavies

#

You angle and wiggle

If you’re hull down in the vk 100, a smart team would turn your mobility against you and run

Is the vk 100 supposed to go hull down?

supple thistle

Not really, but I guess you could if you wanted to

Last time I played maus mauschen and vk 100 I never went hull down I would rather side scrape or hide the weak points in tip

The only time a VK 100 should hulldown is if it is your LAST CHANCE to cary a team...

Even then side scrape or facehug it’s like tiger p also hide weakpoints on top and you do amazing

If you have a small hill or wall to hide your front plate behind, you should amost always be angling in the vk

The vk is not like the tiger p,two different playstyles.

One is a dpm machine the other is not.even then dont compare tier 7 to 8.

The vk can sidescrappe but not the tiger p

No, Unless u have anything above 245+ pen.tiger p u can pen it with 150+mm on the manlet.

now cya, im wasting too many brain cells

Hes not saying that its true,hes just poiting out your failed logic.

lmao you cant even understand irony and examples, my phrase was referring to your smart point of tiger P being similar to mauschen and vk100 because both can be penned in their weakspots, shared with 90% of tanks in wotb
i also wrote - this is what you're looking like-
how did you not understand lmfao

cloud dome

I am saying they in same line and have same frontal weak points my logic is true because it is known as a fact. Tier 7-9 of that line have same weak points. And that is not true or is it true within that line. No I am not talking about other lines

warped anchor
#

Oh lord......

grave bear
#

@cloud dome ok, who cares? Amx 50 100, amx m45 and amx 50 120 have both better forward speed than backward speed, they save that characteristic from tier 7 to 9!

#

another example of your amazing logic:
IS, IS-3 and IS-8 keep having a turret on all of them!
SPIC ru251 and leo pt a keep being able to fire with their guns!
At8 at7 and at15 can be penetrated in their weakspots!
MT-25 LTTB and t54 lwt are fast tanks!
should i continue for the ethernity or you understood the uselessness of your logic?

cloud dome
#

@grave bear I mean is-3 is 8 and is 7 play mostly alike

#

Never mind you kinda getting point different lines have diffrent play styles that’s why you don’t try to go hull down in the tiger p line

#

Or did you miss why o brought that shit up in the first place? Who wants to try to go hull down in a thing that has a weak point your can hit on its head easily and is called a super heavy?

grave bear

@cloud dome yes you can go hulldown in vk100, also in leo1, stb-1, and any other tank with more than 1 degree of gun depression able to hide its hull
since this is what hulldown means

no one ever said vk100 has better armor in hulldown than t32

Yes but you still take damage from the top so is it worth it? I would rather hide the weak points. And side scrape or poke out around corner

They we can agree with. Like I said we just saying same things over and over.

@cloud dome its better not to go hulldown in vk100 because of its turret cheeks weekspots and copula, but it can be done, it is better to sidescrape with your copula side behind cover

when you are not ready to fire point your turret toward whatever you are sidescraping off of at an angle so the enemy can't see your cheeks and pen them

#

If you master the vk100 and maushen the playstyle is exactly the same for the maus minus it does not have a copula

@cobalt crane that’s what I am trying to say from start.... ty for getting it

warped anchor
#

Umm ok captain obvious number 2.

#

U should of read above first.nobody was disputing that but ok.

cloud dome
#

@warped anchor so you want to argue what we are not on same page. Tiger p also has same problem as a hull down vk 100... that’s all I was trying to say.

warped anchor
#

Oh my god,dude its not about the weakpoints,this was all pointing out flawed logic of yours he already pointed it out multiple times,WHICH is USELESS FACTS. That we already KNOW,BECAUSE 99.99% Tanks on blitz Share the same weakpoints.just BECAUSE it has the SAME weakpoint that doesnt mean their Playstyles must be the same.

cobalt crane
#

please explain, the t32 t34 and t30 as well as dozens of other tanks that are good for hulldown, if they shared the same weakspots as the tiger p and vk100 they wouldnt be good for hulldown

warped anchor
#

Quote from you again "Both have same armor" THATS what WE were disputing.

cobalt crane
#

i didnt see that

cloud dome
#

@cobalt crane it’s not worth it they don’t see what I was trying to say from front to me they do have same armour...

warped anchor
#

Im so done with this.

cobalt crane
#

@cloud dome how so

warped anchor
#

@zuke dont even try you are going to waste your time

cobalt crane
#

i just thought he needed help on how to play vk100 i guess i shouldve read more lol

nimble zodiac
#

I guess some of us didn’t account about the size of the weakspots?

drowsy plaza
#

My brain died from reading @cloud dome ‘s posts.

cloud dome
#

@drowsy plaza from what I seen I don’t think anyone here understood it even if your 60% that don’t mean anything to me.

nimble zodiac
#

You did say sidescrape like the Tiger (P)

cloud dome
#

From front upper plate is strong for the tier and lower plate is weak along with a copula same thing happens with mauschen. And to be clean I ment face hug in tiger p and vk100 can facehug or side scrape

nimble zodiac
#

K

cloud dome
#

That’s what I wanted to say but people wanted to bring up other tanks when I was talking only about that line....

nimble zodiac
#

They don’t threaten me much until Mauschen when they get you in a hug as a shorty IS-8

cloud dome
#

Yep I feel maus is scary and is a under rated heavy. I liked when vk 45 b lead up because it thought you side scraping more.

nimble zodiac
#

Mainly because people ignore angling like it’s armored enough to bounce shells anyways

cloud dome
#

Yep that is very true

#

@nimble zodiac can I pm you some things?

nimble zodiac
#

Sure

grave bear
#

LMAO @cloud dome what a fake screen, tiger P seen from same tank's height point of view, and vk100 seen by 100 meters above just to prove your stupid fake point that they have similar armor... vk100p's upper plate is UNPENETRABLE by any AP shell of any existing tank in the game ,except if you're above that plate, while tiger P's front armor is just totally garbage vs tiers 8 and still paper vs tier 7 gold shells.

cloud dome
#

Look you will always stick to your views

grave bear
#

tiger P and vk100 DONT* have same playstyle, not even close, same for armor profile. BUT OFC vk100 mauschen and maus have same playstyle. never said it's not true, the only difference is the cupola and the fact that you cant angle vk100p and mauschen's turrets due to rounded side plates.

cloud dome
#

Maus is more forgiving with its armour massively and don’t have a weak point on the top of the turret so your point there is not true

grave bear
#

really tiger P and vk100p are so much different.. no idea how someone can say they're similar just because they're in the same tech tree. LMAO CAN YOU READ; I LITERALLY SAID THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT MAUS HAS NO CUPOLA AND CAN BE ANGLED

nimble zodiac
#

^ extensively of course

grave bear
#

oof just keeping waste my time, cya

cloud dome
#

I am done you tagged me to prove nothing. You keep missing my point.

grave bear
#

i tagged you to prove you're justs lying and saying false stuff, im missing your point because you have none, or it 's just so obvius that is not even needed mentioning it.

cloud dome
#

So you saying tiger p armour from front is easy to pen the upper plate with a tier 7?

grave bear
#

with gold yes, it's easy. as i just said, easy pen for tiers 8 HT ap and also easy for tier 7 gold shells.

cloud dome
#

So that’s why I bounce is 3 and other tier 8 heavys off front?

grave bear
#

that's because they're noobs and dont know how to aim and they have bad accuracy so they bounce on mid plate or just cant aim your ez pen side, you'll never bounce a lowe or tiger II

nimble zodiac
#

Sometimes RNG takes the pen too low but most cases yeah, nubs

grave bear
#

if you do, it's because they're sleeping , anyway, tiger P has good frontal armor, but nothing even comparable tier x tier to vk100's one, plus vk100 has also super stron sides and frontal turret which helps even more to make it a totally different tank, without counting the super high alpha bad accurate low dpm gun, literally the opposite of tiger P gun.

cloud dome
#

Okay that’s all I wanted to point out...

grave bear
#

but yeak keep saying tiger P is similar to vk100p, idc
