[misty fern]

Yesh a very good tank indeed.

[unkempt ether]

yes very good tank

in my opinion it is the best tank in the whole game

for tier X

[misty fern]

I get that.

[unkempt ether]

leo is the best for its insane speed and dpm

snikers is fast but his armor is plastic

[misty fern]

Very much so plastic lol. My Sheri finds that a very delicious fact

[wicked thunder]

Yeah no

[unkempt ether]

sheri is a good tank, its bc of his insane dpm for a light tank

[wicked thunder]

Sheri has the lowest dpm of any light…

[unkempt ether]

alright how come no?

[misty fern]

It very fun to use lol but very underpowered now

[wicked thunder]

It’s very good at holding, but falls apart in brawls which are kind of the meta right now

[misty fern]

Ya I would literally die if I met a Leo or a AMX 30 B

[unkempt ether]

well if your really good with vk 90 then you can prob make it

but the meta is type 71

[misty fern]

I could be decent I think

[unkempt ether]

has insane armor and good dpm

[unkempt ether]

do you have a vk 90.01 (p)?

[misty fern]

No I’m f2p mainly bc I’m poor I wish I had it tho

[unkempt ether]

it will come out soon

every tank tier X and only for 20k of gold and you only can sell it for 7,500

[misty fern]

Wow 20,000k.
1.4k gold a month from ads..
Hmm attainable by 2025!? I’m a do ads now

[unkempt ether]

bc every tier X tank sells for 20k

[misty fern]

Gotcha so I’ll have my pick

[unkempt ether]

i started world of tanks blitz in 2018

and i see every X tank for 20k gold

[misty fern]

I started my main acc 5ish years ago so mbe 2017 or 2016.
Been playing since 2012 tho on random accs

[unkempt ether]

Im sure that VK 90.01 (P) will come out right after AMX M4 mle. 54

[peak geode]

I've got Emil 1951 and dracula in awesome draw

[robust orchid]

Then there's the gold from gold boosters or gold certificates from ad crates, give or take 1-2k a month added to that 1.4k from gold ads

[hidden grove]

Is tornvagn better than lowe in tier 8? Should i keep saving up and waiting for lowe or should i buy the tornvagn now? Which one of them has the best credit rates?

[finite kayak]

Soo uhh

My younger brother has to buy something with his 5000 gold and he decided to buy "O-47", so I have a question, is O-47 worth it? With 5000+ gold?

He likes some damage and medium thingy so is it worth it too?

[plucky summit]

Lowe is better for credit making, but Tornvagn is better. It's boring to play, though

[hidden grove]

Alright thanks, the tornvagn is too expensive for me rn anyway

Ill just wait for discounted lowe to come out (hopefully)

[tame ridge]

Is it worth geting T77?

Or just wait for more good tank on sale

[solid gate]

yes

[hidden grove]

what is the strategy for playing mediums? i play in tier 7 with leo

[hidden grove]

Where is my armor? how should i angle? should i follow light/mediums or support the heavies? Do i use cali or gun rammer?

[harsh elm]

rammer and play it secondline support (not camping in the back)

[hidden grove]

so i follow heavies and shoot behind them?

[harsh elm]

follow mediums as ur a medium and support them by bleeding enemies which over extend, as in dont let the enemy push over or get shots off ur mediums without being punished
heavies will just melt you so dont go ht side unless you absolutely have a reason to (which isnt mid-late/end game)

[hidden grove]

alright, thank you man

[harsh elm]

there r many positions on all maps on the mts side where you can sit comfortably and bleed enemy mediums without being too far away to help if they do end up pushing or what not, just gotta learn and remember where they are
also the leos armour isnt the best so dont expect to bounce much or often

[hidden grove]

yeah, my problem rn is my team, any game i start theres only 1 or rarely 2 mediums/lights with me and they immediately rush and die and i die to the enemy mediums

[harsh elm]

if theres 1 mt on ur team (which is you) and the enemy have 2 mediums (for example a tier 7 and tier 8 mt) passively spot early on and depending if you have support from the team or not ur best option is to run to the heavies side and try find something to do that contributes to the win, or find crossfire shots on the enemy
im tired if some of this dosent make sense mb

[hidden grove]

Noted, if the enemy has more mediums, i spot them and run to heavies to help. Dont apologise, youre taking time to explain stuff to me and i appreciate it.

[harsh elm]

for the leo (tier 7 version) at least yeah since its not very well armoured
it kind of depends on what medium ur in and the enemy lineup + ur lineup and if you get support etc etc

[hidden grove]

thank you, grinding the kranvagn is such a pain, having to play these sh*tty mediums 💀

[harsh elm]

leos all right (at least last time i played it) but its not extraordinary or anything
i also assume ur a new player when it comes to meds in general

[misty wing]

If we're talking about the whole line it might be the IS-4 honestly
or the 113, since the tier 8 is very painful and the tier 9 is fairly mediocre

[hidden grove]

yeah, i have 2 tier 8 but theyre tiger2 and is3, i havent played any meds

[stoic finch]

is it worth grinding the Kranvagn

[hidden grove]

well, ive watched a few videos, i know how to play heavies and its really powerful when using it autoloaded. Idk if its the best but its fun, i just want it

[split ermine]

T110E5 or IS-7?

[lyric copper]

E5

[timid phoenix]

Is it worth grinding the is 4

[indigo cargo]

every heavy tank line in this game is great imo, but avoid the 215b line cuz it’s not an easy to play line

[spiral meadow]

is basilisk a premium tank or just a regular one?

[winged sail]

collector

[spiral meadow]

what does that mean, does it have special bonus when playing it like premium?

[winged sail]

yoh and is4 line:

@spiral meadow some collectors have good credit bonus like premium, and some don't

magnate doesnt have a good credits bonus so i dont think basilisk would

[spiral meadow]

ok thanks

[misty wing]

I wouldn't not recommend the 215b just because it's hard to play. Caernarvon and Conqueror are both some of the best heavy tanks in their tier, and honestly aren't that difficult imo. I would argue that they are less difficult than the IS-3 and IS-8

[split ermine]

Chat GPT saying IS-7 is the best 😂

[lyric copper]

chat gpt doesnt know anything lol

[misty wing]

Chat gpt is 2021 limited. They also probably pulled some information from PC

[remote kindle]

Chatgpt only repeat what it is given on the internet. On that note, it is not accurate for the time you are in.

[valid gale]

Not even it will manufacture completely made up stuff to whatever topic

[lyric copper]

scam lol

[remote kindle]

Does it? Cause i was thought that it was fed internet and works on that.
Oh wait, sometimes internet provides wrong information 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[granite rivet]

Real

[valid gale]

Yes especially on any legal topics a guy researched it and he found it even created entirely fake cases

[remote kindle]

Hmmm.

[unkempt ether]

The only good tier 7 tank is probably Dracula, Dracula has a good dpm and good speed

[split ermine]

ye ik, im joking

[lyric copper]

T29, Tiger 1 etc:

[indigo cargo]

yoh line is rlly good, but yea i forgot the is4 line is powercrept af 💀

[winged sail]

yoh line stock is incredibly bad

[wicked thunder]

Oh, so it’s the same as literally any line stock, gotcha

[misty wing]

well there's tanks that are bad when stock, and tanks that are really bad when stock

[timid phoenix]

Which tier X td should I go for obj 263 or 268

Because I heard that obj 263 has good frontal armor

[amber geode]

263 and its branch itself is for more experienced players. Yes, 263 has pretty good armor, but you should rely more on DPM

[timid phoenix]

I forgot which one was which, but should I go for 268 then?

Also, what equipment should I put on tiger 1?

[amber geode]

Depends on your playstyle and what do you prefer more. 268 is a good tank destroyer with high damage and excellent penetration, 263 is a tank with one of the best DPM in the game. I would recommend to go 268 first.

[wicked thunder]

268

[timid phoenix]

Well, I like high damage but I really don’t like high reload time, so obj 263 it is

[wicked thunder]

263 is still very mediocre

[timid phoenix]

I might just end up getting both of them

[blissful cave]

Todays tank of the day is panzer I

[amber geode]

Grind 268 first, it's easier, and there are cool tanks like the Su152

[timid phoenix]

Yea but that comes with high reload

[wicked thunder]

But it’s much better

[timid phoenix]

Okay

[amber geode]

High reload time ≠ bad, sometimes it's easier to fire once and reload than to fire many times

[timid phoenix]

I just got the tiger 1 2 days ago, and I don’t know what equipment to put on it

But it’s interesting to see that the su100s final gun upgrade comes with APCR tho

[unkempt ether]

good to know! thank you!

[granite schooner]

What is, at this moment the best tank to farm credits?

[wicked thunder]

Lowe

[granite schooner]

After so many years, it is still the best one

[unkempt ether]

its good but its slow

[undone star]

its fast enough to be good

[unkempt ether]

what do u mean?

[spice sphinx]

Doesn’t the Lycan look like Guts from Berserk?

[robust orchid]

For a Superheavy that weighs nearly a hundred tons, it still has some decent mobility

[unkempt ether]

alright bro

[foggy isle]

https://tenor.com/view/bers-gif-25504701

[rugged crypt]

I have a question
I don't play heavy tanks, but doesn't the amx 50b having only 80mm of armor kinda weak for a 10?

At least what I can see on the stat card

[wicked thunder]

It makes up for it with mobility and clip potential

[rugged crypt]

So it shouldn't be a heavy?

Ahh I see

[wicked thunder]

It is a heavy, it just should be played as one

[rugged crypt]

Alr seems a bit dramatic to drop it to that low but ok

Thxs for clearing it up

[misty wing]

I've always held the belief that tanks should be sorted based on weight and size, rather than armor

[safe cedar]

Its definitely a heavy, I think you fail to comprehend the sheer size of the vehicle.

[tulip steppe]

Before 10.3, the 50b could bounce a frontal shot every now and then but now, you’ll have to be more careful before peeking and unloading mag

[unkempt ether]

k guys i will get a random tank only tier 10 wish me good luck

[blissful cave]

Only a class 2

[unkempt ether]

[blissful cave]

Even though I didn’t get the final shot on any tanks that’s still 4.7k damage plus the gold destruction assistance

[unkempt ether]

[tulip steppe]

Were you bottom or top tier?

[blissful cave]

I was tier 9 in a 10 game

[tulip steppe]

Hmm that is high dmg for only a class 2 then, M is probably set around 1340 xp for t30

[blissful cave]

I mean hey I’ll gladly take this tho only like 2 games later

[wicked thunder]

Probably didn’t spot your own damage

[blissful cave]

As in I didn’t spot any tanks first?

[wicked thunder]

Not necessarily. If someone else spotted a tank before you did, they get half the xp, if someone else tracks a tank that you’d shoot, they get half the xp

[blissful cave]

So basically that game was just all damage nothing else

[wicked thunder]

I don’t know that for sure, but that’s usually the cause of high damage but kind of low xp games

[unkempt ether]

yep

[wicked thunder]

The idea is to spot and track as many tanks as possible. Pick up kills when you can, and cap bases in supremacy

[unkempt ether]

really??? i didnt know that

[molten plinth]

I mean, even after the update

[unkempt ether]

its like better then maus

[molten plinth]

Oh, wrong screenshot

[rustic lodge]

99.9% of people don't know this tank

[meager spindle]

thats an amx 30 b, assuming a b2

[wary summit]

posts the most dissed on tank prior to 10.3

[vivid folio]

99.99% of people know everything about this exact tank

[granite rivet]

Why doesn’t my m60 look like that

[wary summit]

That's the M60A3, we got the basic version with the Israeli umbrella copula

[dim pollen]

It's Cupola lol. Copula reminds me of copulation

[cinder rivet]

Anybody got recommendations for T10 heavies or td‘s to grind. I already have the type, vz, vk, e5, t57 and mino.

[valid gale]

A3 has a different turret for starters

[tulip steppe]

E4 is a fun line right now, e100 is pretty good right from tier 6, t-62a /140 is an easy med line right through, grille line is great fun up until the grille lol

[rich blade]

might be time for a medium, would recommend T62A and 140 line since its 2 tier X mediums in one grind, and they are both pretty cool and feature diffrent playstyles

[cinder rivet]

I have 4 already, stb1, TVP, 30b (if you count collectors), and about to get the creds for the leo. I was looking mainly for heavies and td‘s but I appreciate the recommendation and I’ll look into it.

[rich blade]

aye got it, I would probably go for Fv215b for a heavy or E4, E3 or WZ GFT TD wise

E4 is still very strong and armor of the WZ GFT is just not funny anymore

[cinder rivet]

Alright thanks, I’ll look into them and see what would work best for my playing style alongside a couple other tanks I’ve been recommended. Appreciate it

[tulip steppe]

I’m about to unlock wz, did it get ripd in 10.3?

[rich blade]

on flat ground the armor is like 340 mm, when using gundepresion its goes up to 380

tank got rly unfair, yet most people didnt notice

[tulip steppe]

I enjoyed the gun on 111gft was hoping it was going to continue to be fun,

[rich blade]

In my opinion the tier X is super fun

[lyric copper]

@blissful cave where tank of the day

[timid phoenix]

I accidentally bought t 34 85 instead of is😭😭😭

[remote kindle]

T34 85 is a tier 6 how did you failed that bad?

[timid phoenix]

Idk I wasn’t paying attention

[granite rivet]

It’s a good tank

[timid phoenix]

My winrate is 49% so I basically lose almost every battle I’m in

[granite rivet]

Everyone was a noob at some point

[wary summit]

Rip my spelling

[timid phoenix]

I started 3 years ago and I’m still at tier 7

[granite rivet]

How many battles?

[pure zephyr]

I just got vk7201 and Its really good

[dim pollen]

Yep it is

[dim pollen]

Kran, Jageroo, Maus, E3, E4

[safe cedar]

People are mad they can't penetrate an assualt tds upperplate.

[rich blade]

since the whole tank is the upperplate I personally find it quite bad design wise, since the tank is not very slow either

[dim pollen]

Kran, Jageroo, Maus, E3, E4

[cinder rivet]

Thanks for the advice. I’m grinding the jageroo now!

[zinc sparrow]

Which grinding should I prioritize between T-62A and STB-1, anyone?

[wicked thunder]

62A

[rich blade]

Im atm a huge fan of T62A but STB is pretty cool aswell

[blissful cave]

Yesterday I tried playing some of my tier 6’s and I’m like yeah…no
There’s like 3 Halloween tanks on each team

[blissful cave]

Yesterdays was panzer I
But where to find them? They’re temporary posts on my IG story same name as here (Galarian quest) but the thing is my page started as Pokémon content so my posts have to stay that but since I like tanks more I still wanted to do something with em so I do those on stories so they’re temporary but I will make a highlight folder where they’re all viewable at any time

[golden island]

the next researchebal tank might be a chinese tank bz 75 tier 10 tank

[blissful cave]

Wondering what I should do as the Halloween special for T.O.D (real tanks only so stuff like dracula forest witch lycan would make sense but they’re not real)

[wicked thunder]

Might? You do realize it’s been confirmed by WG right?

[golden island]

where?

[blissful cave]

I do remember there was something that was gonna be bigger than the ratte named the monster that sounds fitting but I have to see if it’s actually real first

[wicked thunder]

#game-news message

[blissful cave]

Heheh monster

[golden island]

it deosnt even say what it is

[blissful cave]

Yeah but everyone sees the video and what tank it is and say it is the BZ from wot pc

[lyric copper]

@blissful cave yo can we get the uhhh

the uhh M56

[blissful cave]

M56?

[wicked thunder]

Scorpion

American light weight TD, made to be airdropped

[blissful cave]

Hehehe this funky little thing alright let’s do it

[balmy compass]

are you sure that's a tank

have to be honest that motorized cannon looks super cool

[blissful cave]

Things that are close enough to tanks I allow for tank of the day like artillery and armored cars and stuff

[balmy compass]

motorized vehicle with cannon

[blissful cave]

Yes basically if it’s kinda like a tank I’ll allow it

[balmy compass]

can we get this tank in blitz
tier V prem TD like the Hellcat

[blissful cave]

I remember I made this a while ago lol

[balmy compass]

lol

[wicked thunder]

Tanks are a doctrinal thing 😤

[blissful cave]

Roomba with a gun duct taped to it is my favorite tank

[lyric copper]

"president's armoured limo"

image of a G-Wagen

[blissful cave]

I dunno I just googled image of president limo png and just took one I dunno anything about cars

[lyric copper]

have you never seen a limo

[safe cedar]

I've seen limoges many times.

[balmy compass]

one could say the TOG II is the limo of tanks

[solid gate]

I said that once

For its the truth.

[blissful cave]

I think the scorpion is really cool I’ve never heard of it before this too

[lyric copper]

tier 7 premium when WG

[blissful cave]

I really like a lot of artillery vehicles so it’s like I’m split between wanting the vehicles themselves but not liking the way they work in pc and glad they’re not in blitz
A lot say artillery completely ruins wot

They’re just BEEG gun on tank platform

Oh the Karl-Gerät is easily my favorite “kinda tank but not really” it’s like this giant mortar on a really long track platform thing

This big ol guy

[wary summit]

Creatura

[blissful cave]

I mean we have tanks like the grille which are literally just a gun on a tank platform so if they’re like that where they just can only shoot forward (not arched like artillery) and used as TD’s that’d be cool to have some of these in game

[jolly briar]

Pov next Tier 8 derp gun

[odd cove]

sturm

[blissful cave]

I remember one time i managed to hit and pen the escape hatch (only penetrable spot) on panzer II J in the BT-7 artillery from like halfway across dead rail

But yea otherwise the tank is borderline unplayable

[hexed nimbus]

Is the Basilisk a good tank (with its top modules installed) ?

[strong bane]

Is this good modules for the AMX defender?

[amber geode]

"Improved ventilation" would be a better choise in my opinion.
AMX defender has really good penetration for a light tank, so I don’t see the point in using "calibrated shells".

[strong bane]

I just use calibrated shells because I saw a guide that said to use it for most auto loaders

[blissful cave]

Ventilation should be a better item and reduce the clip by more than just like 0.4 seconds or something maybe removing the extremely tiny boost to everything to balance it

[lyric copper]

its what happens when its a 5% to crew mastery and not an actual buff

[strong bane]

Do you also know how to play light tanks properly because the AMX defender is my first light tank on this account

[blissful cave]

Like rammer for manual loading tanks is a much better boost it’ll take like 0.5 seconds off for something that is like a 6 second reload but ventilation won’t even take half a second off a 22 second clip

[remote kindle]

Vents is weirdly balanced and done.

[lyric oriole]

Vents is good if you aren't concerned with penetration

I use vents on most of my autoloaders because the extra view range is awesome and it's a slight buff to my vehicle across the board

[safe cedar]

Honestly they should double the dispersion & viewrange buff it gives.

[lyric oriole]

No

Because it also affects movement Dispersion

[safe cedar]

And?

[lyric oriole]

Skill issue

[safe cedar]

Well I know I cant aim, thats why I love arty

[wicked thunder]

Cali > vents for most autoloaders

[blissful cave]

Not really the only one I’m good with is Sheridan because the smack a big shot and then run playstyle is really fun to play and I got how that works down
But most light tanks that are single shot I just cannot play em I’m so bad in em

But I have been very good with the Astron even though I just got it which is a very fast lightly armored medium so maybe I’m good with that playstyle with autoloader clips too because they’re kinda like how I play Sheridan (except I just dump the clip and run during the long set reload)

[meager spindle]

go around slinging HE in the sheridan

||
if you know, you know||

[misty wing]

Astron isn't really a dump and run autoloader though, due to the long intra clip

[blissful cave]

it’s not the only way to play it I also stay in one place and just peek,snap shots then wait depends on the situation

But Astron is pretty fun and pretty nice to have a light/medium tank that I’m playing often rn since I use heavies most

[nimble spruce]

Any of these worth restoring since the tier X changes?

[celest lark]

Super conq is decent

[wicked thunder]

T22, skonk, 5A, e6, 30b

[stray lion]

T95E6 can be used as a nice medium tank instead of heavy. AMX 30 B is a 2% scarce Leopard. AMX M4 is not very bad but it's extremely hard to use well.

[safe cedar]

AMX is kinda bad/lame now tbh

[blissful cave]

Dang if only you could give tank certificates to a friend I got enough for another chimera again but it’ll just give me credits which I don’t really need when I’d much rather give a friend a good tank

[sand prism]

Anyone know what's worth more of the grind between

Progetto
E4
E3
E100
Vk 72
Stb 1

I would like to know as I have plenty of free time atm as I have finished all my school stuff

Note: highest tier in all of these tank lines is 8 in the progetto line

[meager spindle]

stb

[sand prism]

alr ty

[lyric copper]

STB-1
VK72
E3
E100
E4
P.65

[safe cedar]

Stb, e4, vk, e3, progetto, and e100. In that order

[safe cedar]

Black people!??

[sand prism]

Alr ty

[lyric copper]

no im staring you down for the E4 > VK 72

[meager spindle]

average frencadian when black person (they get very nervous)

[safe cedar]

I'm not french Canadian

[meager spindle]

i know. you don't need to prove yourself as real, just taking the piss

[safe cedar]

E4 is better tho.
and 60tp is better than both

[sand prism]

Good thing I got 60tp off release

[meager spindle]

clearly the foch 155 128 is better

[safe cedar]

That's actually in tank company 💀
Foch 127

[meager spindle]

i didn't even know lmaoooo i was just poking fun at the doubleshots alpha

[safe cedar]

it does more than in blitz

[meager spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/rain-sad-depression-gif-24658304

[blissful cave]

😎

[indigo cargo]

funny how that thing does 20 less damage than our foch 155 yet has 4 shells and better accuracy 💀

[misty wing]

Vk72 > E4

[tulip zodiac]

Derien.

[strong bane]

How much gold is the AMX defender worth?

[zinc sparrow]

Which grinding should I prioritize between T-62A and STB-1, anyone? and maybe explain a little about why you chose one so I can decide

[solid gate]

Calibrated shells or shell reload boost better for E50M?

[errant tendon]

Hey if there's anyone here confused between buying a kv3 or IS, go for kv3

[wise moth]

based take

[lyric copper]

STB-1

it’s literally the top MT rn

[merry charm]

i wish dispersion factors were shown in game

[zinc sparrow]

Danke, wish me luck

[lusty orbit]

bruh i have made 4700 but i didn't get master ace

[blissful cave]

Oh I completely forgot I still gotta do tank of the day today

[blissful cave]

Todays tank is M3 Lee

[strong bane]

How many tank of the day have you done?

[blissful cave]

This is day 123

Yet I somehow still haven’t done panzer IV or KV-1 I’m kinda saving those for something idk when tho I just did M3 Lee today because I feel kinda sick and don’t feel like doing one that required a lot of looking into (I know enough about M3 Lee to write it mostly from memory)

I really like doing the weird obscure ones

[strong bane]

Not bad. I would know more about Panzer IV than M3 Lee. American tanks seem Abit boring for me

[blissful cave]

The famous tanks I’d write a lot more for like panzer IV is probably gonna be a long one

Also I really like doing the weird obscure ones like concept tanks

[strong bane]

From me playing WT, WW2 American tanks seem just very dull.

[blissful cave]

Like there’s a lot of premiums in this game I’m surprised to find are actually real concepts and not made up
Basically most of the fakes are the EU ones (except Sweden) nearly every Italian czech or polish tank in this game is fake especially premiums

Favorite concepts are the US ones because most of the weird ones came from this one meeting where the tank producing companies are encouraged to present weird unique designs

It’s where stuff like the Yoh’s,AE Phase 1,Astron Rex and (not in the game but) chick and hen are from

[strong bane]

Is the Object 279 in WOT blitz?

[blissful cave]

No the 4 track UFO one? It isn’t

[strong bane]

Yeah the 4 track UFO, Soviet Heavy tank that was designed to withstand Nuclear shockwave. I know WOT has it. (PC version) but it's not like the Real thing

[blissful cave]

Most of the British ones are too like Caliban GSOR Charlemagne and cobra

Every Swedish tank in the game is real Tornvagn Lansen Emil’s and Strv K are all real concepts too the Swedish ones are my favorite group of tanks

[wicked thunder]

It was a real thing

It wasn’t called the 279e, it was called obj 726

[strong bane]

That's the Version WOT has. But they call it the object 279e

[wicked thunder]

Yes

[strong bane]

The actual Object 279 looks like this.

[wicked thunder]

I am aware

[valid gale]

It’s weirder it was named properly in development then they just changed it for some reason

[wicked thunder]

I guess if you squint and look sideways it could be considered an early 279, but they really only share the quad track design

[strong bane]

Do you think the IS-8 should be renamed to the T-10?

[blissful cave]

I’d say no so it keeps the consistency with all the other IS’s

But it is still funny that all the IS’s are all over the place
1 and 2 are tier 7
3 5 and 6 are tier 8
8 is tier 9
7 and 4 are tier 10

[valid gale]

5 and 6 were sort of experiments on how to make a heavy tank 8 was the most recent

[strong bane]

I think the IS-8 should be Tier 10

[wicked thunder]

It fits in with the M103 and conq at tier 9

[blissful cave]

4 being 10 is the only the that is the odd standout to me (I dunno much about it so I’m sure there’s a reason)

Yea and the IS-8 is a step down from the IS-7 that tank was too good (expensive and heavy)

[valid gale]

It has no armor

[wicked thunder]

4 being a tier 10 is just strange. It was essentially just an upgraded IS-2, nothing really special about it

[valid gale]

WG put on the theoritical 122mm when it also had the D25

[wicked thunder]

🤷‍♂️ WG will WG

[valid gale]

Coupled with STI logically having a tank with a fatter head be the successor doesn’t sit right

[strong bane]

It has only about 100mm less armour than the IS-7. But the IS-7 was designed to have armour thick enough to beat a 128mm round from a Jagdtiger

[strong bane]

The IS-4 should be replaced with the IS-8

[wicked thunder]

Nah

[valid gale]

It has a lot less, it’s thinner than even its predecessors

[valid gale]

Ingame

[strong bane]

Yes in-game it's true

[valid gale]

Also why Wikipedia

[strong bane]

That's the first place I thought of

[blissful cave]

I didn’t have this idea until late into the month but I should’ve done what I did with July for this month
July I did a US tank every other day as a special (4th of July) but I should’ve made this month German month because Oktoberfest

[strong bane]

It has sources

[strong bane]

Next year you can do that

[blissful cave]

Lmao if I still have tanks by then
Let alone 15 German ones

Also still not sure what to do as the Halloween tank of the day (must be real so no Dracula or lycan or something)

I had the idea to do the monster (the 1500 ton tank bigger than ratte) but I doubt the reality of it

[wicked thunder]

Could do one of the blowup Sherman’s, as a “ghost” tank

[blissful cave]

April fools will be tonk for sure
Not truly a real tank but it actually exists and is made of real tank parts so it’s still better than most fakes

[strong bane]

I was trying to find some but most took a year or two to design

[blissful cave]

Only rule of tank of the day is that it must be real so any proof that it was a real idea they had back then and not something made up purely for games like wot are allowed
(And no duplicates I guess that’s a rule too)

[strong bane]

Do the AGS

[blissful cave]

Being at least what if scenarios of if they continued making tanks based on what they likely would’ve done are neat
but still doesn’t change that they’re not real like Chinese TD line being an ISU inspired design but based on their hulls is a cool idea

[strong bane]

You should do the AGS.

[blissful cave]

I also found this so not sure which one

[strong bane]

That looks like the CCVL

[blissful cave]

Is there any other name I could go off of because I see both that thin turret one and this M8 one mixed together in the searches

[strong bane]

That is the CCVL but it was renamed to XM-8 after beating the AGS.

[strong bane]

VT1-2

[valid gale]

AGS stands for Armored Gun System

The M8 Buford which it’s officially called was also called AGS because it competed with the Stryker AGS

[valid gale]

CCVL is a separate older Buford prototype

You can tell by : the MG or vision slit on the right side of the turret (or left) the cast construction hull and the different gun/ muzzle brake

[strong bane]

No it's not because it competed with the AGS for contracts and the CCVL won and got renamed to XM-8

[valid gale]

You can very clearly see these are not the same tank Buford visually already improves on the CCVL meaning it’s the older prototype

Further Buford has the new M35 when CCVL had the M68

[strong bane]

Yeah that picture is from when they won the contracts. Idk why it has two names. M8 AGS and XM-8

[valid gale]

Designations the full name or common one is M8 Buford

[blissful cave]

Dang I’m finding out about so many tanks I never knew existed because of T.O.D

[strong bane]

"The M8 Armored Gun System (AGS), sometimes known as the Buford" Its got three names

[blissful cave]

I also kinda want to do more variety of countries but the main ones I know about I did like the Swiss Canadian New Zealand Egyptian Brazil and Australian ones I know of
I can do Romanian marseal it’s kind of like the Hetzer

But other than those I don’t really know much about ones that are more obscure tank designs from other countries

[zenith shadow]

Is this worth?

[wicked thunder]

Not really

[prime linden]

Boxes are over 1000 each so basically tank for free I like it actually nice damage but a little long reload and a little bit slow, armor is good I would say

[amber geode]

Tankenstein is pretty outdated, so...not really

[zenith shadow]

Alright so not worth ig

[plucky summit]

There’s outdated but then there’s also the side buff it got and the zombie crew

It’s cheap as a tier 7

[zenith shadow]

Tbh it needs a buff to certain sides of the armor.

Should be something like tiger P at least since its based off that.

Tiger P has much better armor in front than tankenstein

[plucky summit]

Only for the turretm the hulls re practically the same since people will be going for the lower pkate anyways

[zenith shadow]

Well turret is better on tankenstein since the top is red but the middle part of tankenstein bothers me alot

[plucky summit]

Tiger's turret is definitely better

[zenith shadow]

It has the top part cap as weak spot tho?

[plucky summit]

Yeah but 150mm isn't going to bounce much as flat as Tanken's turret is. It's easier to shoot the cheeks and penetrate

[zenith shadow]

Well im not buying the tankenstein due to the armor then

[golden cairn]

Guys what do i go for next? (i just researched l100lt) I just have no idea lol, too much to chose from

[plucky summit]

The gun and lack of need for medkits is what you buy it for. It's just a fun gun to play with, since the prammo is just like SU-100Y's damage over pen prammo

[meager spindle]

@blissful cave got an idea for tank of the day if you didn't do it already, I think you know this one

[blissful cave]

Standard B is real?

[valid gale]

The Europanzer program (which birthed the leopard and AMX 30 ) had a lot of nato cooperation and lead to a lot of interchangeability ever wondered why leopard PTAs turret is marked A in the upgrades before leopard was finalized there was 3 different designs, Porsche , rhein etc

[zenith shadow]

is this tank possible to get?

[plucky summit]

That is the tutorial Tiger

[zenith shadow]

damn. so its not possible to own?

[plucky summit]

Nope, it's way too overcooked to be balanced, it's meant to give players an advantage over their tier 6 competition during the tutorial

[valid gale]

It’s also not Italian it’s weird why WG chose to make it so

[blissful cave]

I assumed it was fake since pretty much all the Italian high tiers are like the progettos and I think the 44 pantera but maybe that one is based on the Hungarian panther copy?

[safe cedar]

Actually their were 6 different designs

3 German, 3 french

[valid gale]

Fun fact Italy does have a med that is possible for tier 10 but it’s visually identical to the leopard

[valid gale]

Is the 3 the Amx 30 predecessors

[meager spindle]

I'm guessing your saying OF40(or a prototype of said)? Well I got this cursed bad boy in that case

[solid gate]

What are you guys thoughts on the Medjay? I got it today and I'm using it for a few battles, I think it's amazing

[wicked thunder]

It’s very good

[solid gate]

Very good to farm credits also, it's helping me to get enough for the M-V-Yoh, as tanks are getting kinda expensive now

[daring merlin]

@safe cedar
Looking at those Ukrain bundles. What are your thoughts on the Astron? I value your opinion

[lyric copper]

Astron is okay, more fun when doubled

rest of the bundle is okay too

[lyric copper]

imagine no tier 8 premiums

[daring merlin]

I cant decide, maybe just get the cheaper bundle?

[lyric copper]

get whichever you want

[daring merlin]

Looking at the stats im not sure if its a good tank. Reload looks horrible

[lyric copper]

they said that about the anni and guess where that is now lol

Astron is good

[daring merlin]

Ok thanks CEO

[safe cedar]

The Astron rex is not a tank for most people, its not very fast, has low dpm, long reload & clipping times, and poor penetration.

However I absolutely love it due to the high alpha, amazing gun handling & velocity, combined excellent flexibility, an extremely low profile, and surprisingly good armour.

If you want a tank that plays like a Somua SM with much better mobility, then astron rex is your tank.
(Sorry for late response)

[safe cedar]

I thought the exact same thing, once I played it though, it felt amazing.

[daring merlin]

Ok great thanks. I think i will try it out

[safe cedar]

yeah.

[safe cedar]

Cool mod, where?
And is it only PC???

[valid gale]

Yes although not at all related to the Leo and being mechanically different it’s pretty much just an Italian leopard

[safe cedar]

Well yeah, because its basically a Europanzer.

[valid gale]

Looks at Sweden

It’s funny they pretty much let go of the panzers then chose to adopt leopard 2s when Italy went through trouble of domestic production and is now stuck with ariete

[safe cedar]

Actually sweden made its own leopard 1 copy in the 1960s/70s

[valid gale]

That one I’m Aware also that mod is compatible with jail broken iPads there’s also another custom model for the leopard that gives it barbed wire around the sides

Oh it’s this one

[meager spindle]

Not published, gameslz is still working on it
(It's probably gonna be PC only) (and it's a standard b reskin, aka sluggish leopard PTA)

@valid gale its a lion turret on the standard b's hull, it's just similar looking to the OF 40 so thought it'd be funny to show it

[safe cedar]

Yeah, sadly that one doesn't work on android anymore

[blissful cave]

If I was able to get mods I’d so get the GuP mods

I’d be able to get the ones that are in the game (but they refuse to sell :\ plus a ton of others from all the teams

[blissful cave]

And of course this one (it says tier 8 because I think it’s over the T49 not the BT-7 artillery like most 42 mods)

[hollow cedar]

Spike has eluded me, I think I’ve almost given up hope of ever getting the alternate Strv.

[nimble pond]

Real life tonk🤣

[wicked thunder]

This smells of ai generated

[nimble pond]

Nah fam, image is too clean, no random blotches or coloration, and the trees look pretty legit

[wicked thunder]

My dude, look at the front of the turret 💀

[nimble pond]

Apparently it's a UAV

Is it just me or looks a little like a semovente

[valid gale]

You do know some systems are getting that complicated

[wicked thunder]

Wack

[wary summit]

So they miniaturised the M8 AGS and made it become an R/C

[gaunt aurora]

Woah 😍

[misty wing]

Why aren't you able? ios?

[blissful cave]

I play on switch

[robust orchid]

Is the IS-5 any worth? Asking because I might restore it again, it costs way less than most premium light tanks I've sold

[amber geode]

Not really

[glass light]

yes , credit coe is high but the tank is not great but except for its speed

[robust orchid]

It's quite comparable to the IS-8/T-10 in terms of armor (lesser) and mobility from what I've observed, also a bit trollish, so I'm gonna take it back from the bin

[strong bane]

How do you use those mods?

[solid gate]

can anyone gift me Tire X tank or gold ?, please

[thorny smelt]

No

[amber geode]

No

[wise moth]

Begging is cringe

[rigid fossil]

@solid gate that's sad dude it's called get a job and do it yourself

[thorny smelt]

Facts

[wicked mirage]

which gun should i run

[honest rampart]

130mm, no doubt. The 105mm is horrible, and the 130mm is more fun, shot effective and in comparison to the 105mm also wayy better. If you account for bigger caliber = worse handeling & dispersion, the 105mm get's absolutly outclassed. Yes, the 105mm gives turret armor, but if you trade with 540(?) alpha and take a shot of 220 alpha, along with having an amazing 1600 base HP, you can outtrade even tier VIII tanks. As long as you load prem ammo as your standard ammo that is. But I think you know how the gun of the SU-100Y (and thus Tankenstein) and ISU-130 work.

[wicked mirage]

so load gold and trade

[honest rampart]

Yes, exactly

[wicked mirage]

yea ive been an su100y enjoyer for awhile so the gun is quite similiar

[honest rampart]

Standard has more pen but lower alpha, and prem has more alpha but lower pen, and thus you should use prem as standard and standard as prem (hope you understand it)

[honest rampart]

They are similiar cause they're the same gun

[hidden grove]

Whats the Emil1 playstyle?

And wheres my armor? Should i angle?

[wary summit]

Hulldown. Just hulldown

[icy wadi]

105 mm is better, gives you more armour and a gun that can compete against other tanks even if uptiered

130 is innacurate, has terrible pen and even worse dpm

[hidden grove]

Idk what hulldown is💀 is it just hiding your hull? And if so, what are the spots on the maps

[solid gate]

Hello e50m good choice as medium?

[lyric copper]

yes

[silver torrent]

opinions on the Ho-Ri and the entire line? im thinking of grinding it since i already have a spare bit of xp left on the chi-to

[lean surge]

Bro, is su-130pm good?

[silver torrent]

any tips for playstyle that i should get used to while grinding the line i.e going second line or back line?

i see, thanks for the advice

[wicked thunder]

The 105mm. If you run the 130 you have a longer reload than the smasher for less damage. The 105 also gives you better frontal turret armor, allowing you to play more effectively

[wise moth]

130mm. The tank is totally useless with the small gun

[granite rivet]

Both

[lavish phoenix]

V stabs. You want to be able to hit and run

I almost always use that for lights. The right one is best for heavies and tds.

[tulip steppe]

Pretty much vstab on every med/light for me and on some tds that have narrow gun traverse limits

[blissful cave]

About this one what do I look up to find information this tank like it’s official name (if it’s not standard B)

I found a bit on it by typing standard B

[blissful cave]

And for AGS is it different from the M8 Buford is this like the earlier stage of it? From this site I found M8 became the new name for it so is the armored turret version the final version?

[misty wing]

Leopard Prototyp B.

That's pretty much what it was, WG just decided to implement it as an Italian tank

[blissful cave]

I think I’ll do that one first since I don’t really know where to go with the M8 one yet

Todays tank is leopard prototype B (aka standard B)

Do I mark it as German or Italian

[misty wing]

German or pan-European if you so desire

[lyric copper]

German-Franco would probably be better since Europanzer was a German-Franco project in the first place

[zenith shadow]

shouldn't have spend 3.5k gold on it tbh

[honest rampart]

I challenge you ppl to name a tank/military vehicle with a longer name then this.
A possible name for it would be:
Sturmgeschütz Ausführung Standardpanzer Entwicklung 100
(StuG Ausf. E 100)

Cause a 17cm gun using only against tanks is dumb and pointless, hence why it's called Sturmgeschütz and not Jagdpanzer

[wicked thunder]

Interestingly the Germans kind of used StuG and JagdPanzer interchangeably

[blissful cave]

Wait until you hear BT-42’s full name in Finnish

15 tonnin rynnäkkötykkipanssarivaunu BT-42 (which translates to 15 ton assault gun tank bt-42)

[wicked thunder]

Write out BT

[blissful cave]

I don’t think BT-42 would use the Russian name in its official designation

[valid gale]

The AGS he showed is not related to the Buford

[blissful cave]

It only keeps the BT name because of the hull

But yea I guess the stuG e 100 one is longer I didn’t see that it went to a second line

[blissful cave]

I have it set as my “pronoun” in my discord bio lmaooo except it doesn’t even fit so I had to delete the spaces

[valid gale]

Pretty much CCVL -XM8-AGS-Buford- thunderbolt and now MPF

[safe cedar]

Ateliers de construction d'issy-les-moulineaux Char lourd de 50 tonnes surbaissé modèle. 1958, avec Tourelle occilante B 120mm.

[blissful cave]

Which ones that the AMX 50?

[misty wing]

I assume it's the B, or something close to it

AMX tank 50 lowered model, 1958 with oscillating turret 120mm

idk what "lourd" means though 😅

[safe cedar]

Heavy or fat

[misty wing]

fat tank

[blissful cave]

I think it’s funny how ours isn’t supposed to be a long name simply “weight-assault gun tank-name” but because finnish words are long it just ends up as that

[safe cedar]

Dont forget Panzer Jäger then Jagdpanzer, lol

[ocean goblet]

Lol <@&481447501690568709>
@high imp bot
Thanks 😊

[strong bane]

How much gold is the AMX defender worth?

[rich blade]

huh would spend like 5000-6000 gold for it ? idk

[wicked mirage]

I got it for free

[strong bane]

How much is 6000 gold in IRL money

[rich blade]

depends on where u live

[zenith shadow]

oh then nvm

[dapper violet]

$12

[strong bane]

Makes sense. The WOT gold shop puts 6.5k at €11

[blissful cave]

M103 getting a hidden nerf sucks
It lost reactive armor because T110E5 did

[trail quest]

And the last thing the m103 needed was a nerf as well

[honest rampart]

Bro didn't just win, he absolutly destroyed the StuG Ausf. E 100 xD

[honest rampart]

Well, it may not be the longest name, it may be the longest single word in a tank name and surely one of the hardest to remember for a non Finnish or diehard Finish tank lover..

[blissful cave]

Oh as a funky fact about Finnish sometimes descriptions for all describing one thing don’t use spaces so rynnäkkö tykki and panssarivaunu are all separate words just put together into one making it look very long

It’d be like saying assaultguntank

[lyric copper]

germans and finnish people agreeing to make the longest words to describe a simple thing:

[blissful cave]

It’s just simply removing the spaces

Also as another thing the word for tank is panssarivaunu (armored vehicle vaunu is sort of a general word) obviously borrowing from panzer where the English word keeps the code name of “tank” that was given to it to keep it a secret from Germany in WW1

Lmao the amount of times tank being such a general unspecific word being an inconvenience is a lot
Like if I want to look up books for tanks “how to maintain a fish tank” or Thomas the tank engine books would come up first if I just simply type tank book
Or if I want tank shirts oh wait a tank is a kind of shirt so i gotta specify which tank exactly I want a shirt of

[solid gate]

I'm considering dropping the american Yoh line, I mean, it's good and I like autoloaders, but, the reload time is kinda slow, and now only at Tier 8, I've realized that it doesn't fit my playstyle, I'm considering doing either the British Heavy line (FV215b), the British TD line (FV215b 183) or the polish heavy tank line, what do you guys say?

For the British heavy line, I do already have the Churchill I unlocked.

[honest rampart]

Well, first, save your own sanity and don't get the FV215b (183) because it's just trash. Yes, it can be funny, but looking at a normal persons view and wanting to win, it makes you lose. The FV215b is quite good but requires quite some skill to use correctly I heard. The 60TP is good, it's mobility is good looking at it's weight and armor, armor is very good on the turret and troll to decent on the hull. The only major downside is the complete absence of a workable dispersion.

Please not the I only played in the FV215b (183) myself, the FV215b and 60TP things are all based on my expirience fighting against them and other ppls expirience and opinions

[vestal vessel]

60tp is legit faster than type 71 with improved suspension 😭

[honest rampart]

If you want a British TD, get the FV4005, it's both more enjoyable to play and just better

[solid gate]

So, it looks like 60TP is a balanced choice that doesn't have that much problems, seems a good choice to do, even because I was recommended that line before too. I thought the FV215b 183 was good because of some articles i was reading, looks like they were either outdated or just bad

[honest rampart]

Yeah, the 60TP would overall be a safe and good choice

[thorny smelt]

Just get the FV217 Badger

[solid gate]

So I guess it's time to get going on it, credits won't be a problem as it is being considerably easy to get them with my beloved medjay

[honest rampart]

Not all ppl have (much) money ;-;

[thorny smelt]

Be aware of not showing your sides too much or you're in for an explosive surprise.

[solid gate]

gets ammo racked in the first 5 seconds of the battle

I've been accumulating a lot of XP boosters, I have 60 of the epic ones, will surely help with the 60tp line

[honest rampart]

Idk how many tanks you have, but in general tanks like the Löwe, Keiler or the T54E2 can make 100k in a single battle (that is if you aren't a moron and deal ~2000 and get 2-3 kills) if you use PA and credit boosters. And unless you're extremly good in the Medjay you'll generally make more credits in a tier VIII prem as long as it's not some trash like the Lansen C

[vestal vessel]

yo don't show your side or this happens

[solid gate]

the medjay is the only tank I have that I think has a credit boost, it's on a average of 32k per battle with no boosters, but already went up to 92k with a booster

[honest rampart]

In general premiums earn more credits, but 92k/battle prob is good enough to do get the job done. Tho you would need 65 battles where you earn 92k just to buy the 60TP itself, no equipment or other tanks accounted

[solid gate]

Well, premiums are good to grind, but I have no idea how I'd get one

[vestal vessel]

Obj 752 is the best credit maker for me

I average about 90k - 110k credits per match

[thorny smelt]

You need gold to buy one

[solid gate]

If I just didn't buy that regret 'em all crates

[glass light]

t5 mm is kinda broken now , medjay is everywhere , armor the best at its tier

but the tank is very fun. probably one of the best free tanks for its tier , altho even a medjay cant pen a medjay

[solid gate]

which is funny when you meet a medjay with a medjay and you can't pen him

[glass light]

even better when angling

[solid gate]

I particularly like playing with the medjay a lot because of that, by my biggest fear is that VI VK 36 (or something like that) German heavy tank, the medjay simply cannot pen it in the front and cannot defend its bullets most times

[glass light]

yea , it is hard , 110 pen is just not great (only way to balanced it i guess)

[solid gate]

Yeah, while it can pen most tier V and lower tanks in certain parts and has a good amor and autoloader, in exchange you aren't properly fit to fight any tier 6 Heavy or TD

[glass light]

just an old mummy warrior who has risen from the dead n cant fight properly , keeping its egyptian armor.

[zenith shadow]

Don’t buy 60tp

[blissful cave]

I sure love how tier 5 6 and 7 (if you’re not a Halloween tank) are just a lot less fun with all the Halloween tanks running around there’s like 3 on each team

Tier 5’s fighting medjays and tier 6/7’s fighting Halloween tanks especially forest witch the front armor on that thing is insane with only thin cheeks that are easy to miss if they know to just turn the turret back and forth

Thank god smasher and annihilator don’t count for these missions

[zenith shadow]

You dont wanna play as tier 7 if you’re up against smasher, grave digger annihilator 😬

[errant oak]

gravedigger is not OP

[blissful cave]

Tier 7 is probably my least favorite tier to play there’s a bunch of tanks I really like there and want to use more but it’s just not fun to play
The power crept gap between 7’s and 8’s is huge it’s like they stand no chance against em
As well as the OP 7’s within the same tier that are just always there you’ll always come across annihilators and smashers or some other Halloween tank now with forest witch in there too

The biggest difference between tiers is either 5 against 6’s or 7 against 8’s

[meager spindle]

Stock 9's vs 10's

I'm looking at you. M46.

[blissful cave]

Like 8’s feel fair against 9’s and 9’s against 10’s and all the ones below 5 are very close to eachother

Well yeah any tank stock is bad

[daring merlin]

So many good tanks at tier 8. I know when im playing that tier and see an Anni, its like aw how cute

[blissful cave]

Yeah I think it’s funny that I get to bully the Halloween tanks when I’m just playing 8’s for fun rn

If I can’t play my tier 6’s then I’ll just play more of my 8’s than usual

[daring merlin]

Mind you me and clan mate played two Witches in 3 tier 8 games, we won two

[blissful cave]

Even as an 8 the forest witch’s front armor is insane the cheeks are easily avoidable as a weak spot by just turning back and forth

[daring merlin]

You cant pen Tiger 2 front at all even with pramo

I had to flank that Cat

[blissful cave]

Yea there’s a few tier 5’s I really like
Like T-34 shielded looks really cool but tier 6’s are like “shielded? That’s cute”

[daring merlin]

Personally tier 6 is lowest i go.

[blissful cave]

I mostly play within 8-10
Go down to 5 or 6 for fun since pretty much all the iconic WW2 favorites there like Shermans,KV 1 and 2,TOG,T-34’s churchills,tiger 131 etc
But I have several low tier tanks I really like 1-4

T-127 (prototype of T-50 a tank i really like but isn’t in the game)
Großtraktor the predecessor design to Neubaufahrzeug one of my top favorite tanks
Of course the Finnish tier 1 ‘,:)
And I would say BT-7 artillery but dang that thing is unplayable
And some others like M5 Stuart,combat car (for the funny) and Matilda is a tank i like irl

[daring merlin]

You have more fingers then games ive played 1-3

[blissful cave]

Ohhh and I forgot my favorite

T-28 is easily my favorite “low tier tank” (1-4) it’s like my 4th favorite tank irl

[daring merlin]

I got the Valentine tier 4 tank, played it for giggles for couple games. Im just used to higher tier tanks.

[blissful cave]

It sucks they’ll never add low tier tanks I really wish Neubaufahrzeug and T-50 can be added instead of only just their predecessor/prototype designs

Neubaufahrzeug my weirdo beloved

[daring merlin]

They never play as you might expect them too in real life. So i dont really care for what tank it is, i just look at the stats

[blissful cave]

I play tanks that I actually like no matter how they play (but if they’re really boring or some just really bad I can’t deny that,I kinda just play em less but still play em rarely)

[misty wing]

I play whatever looks cool

[blissful cave]

And if a tank is “good” but I don’t like it then I won’t play it
Like I really don’t like most of the really fake ones like the Halloween tanks
And I just despise borrasque and badger specifically I will never own those tanks

[daring merlin]

I will play tanks that look good as long as they dont suck. T-56 for example

Badger rocks

Tiger II is great looking tank, and its stats are great as well

[blissful cave]

Updating my tank top 10 rn and pretty much nothing has changed except for IS-7 overtaking KV-2 as 10th
But my main rule is it’s only tanks that were actually built so I’m gonna make a second one that includes incomplete prototypes and concept designs and dang that will make things wildly different

Tornvagn would easily be my favorite tank if it was actually built I absolutely love that thing
And other stuff like concept 1B,Lansen,Kranvagn (only half was built),maybe throw in a Yoh or two and of course Chrysler

[misty wing]

Most of my favorite tanks are soviet and Chinese, plus the T57 which unfortunately was ruined by poor balancing

[wicked thunder]

Poor balancing? T57 is fine lmao

[misty wing]

Balancing is more than just how good or bad a tank is

In my eyes it was already ruined by 9.1 which was arguably its strongest state.

[safe cedar]

T57 is definitely poorly balanced. 1200 in 5s or 4s with clip booster in exchange for crap mobility & armour is so dumb. They should just revert it to the pre-9.1 state.

[blissful cave]

With hundreds of tanks and liking em all it’s so hard to put together even a top 20 especially since this time I’m including incomplete prototypes and concepts because I’m all like “ah I can’t just NOT somehow fit the M36 Jackson or the Sheridan in there they’re cool af”

[uncut spindle]

Can anyone told me which is best USA tank?

Which type of tanks?

[blissful cave]

Well it’s a lot but I finished

Any last minute changes maybe putting T30 or Sheridan in that 20 spot and put Yoh 4 in honorable mentions I know I like those 2 more than Yoh but can’t decide which one

[valid gale]

no M8

[blissful cave]

I didn’t even know that one existed until someone told me about it like yesterday (if you’re talking about that one mentioned above and not the howitzer Stuart)

[meager spindle]

I think this guy likes sweden

[blissful cave]

Swedish tanks easily gotta be my favorites and they have so many cool designs that were never built or finished rip Tornvagn,lansen and the entire Emil project (plus Strv K which stems from that)

[meager spindle]

Udes 15/16

[blissful cave]

I also really like Strv 74 but I can’t fit hundreds of tanks here I like pretty much all tanks

US and Swedish tanks are generally most of my favorites

[meager spindle]

Strv 2k, one of my personal favorites

[blissful cave]

Banger after banger

Sweden be like “let’s make some of the coolest tank designs ever and then NOT build them”

It’s a miracle Strv 103 was actually made

[meager spindle]

"Mmmm leopard 2 lookin real fine"

"We gonna cop a few"

[glass light]

T57 is not for brawling , it can just not like a real heavy tank does

[amber geode]

Why T-28 💀

[proven eagle]

The Jgpz. E100 is ust satisfying...

[zenith shadow]

Well it has that auto loader gun that makes it pretty good

[zenith shadow]

Fr i actually want this low tier maus in wot

[lyric copper]

it doesn’t have armour bro

[zenith shadow]

Have you seen it in Wt?

[lyric copper]

yeah and it’s pretty easy to deal with

[safe acorn]

Better than T-80U, Abrams and Leclerc ig

[safe acorn]

No because no one buys that and if they did its a lie because they dont exist

[naive solar]

Is the subscription worth it? You now this with gold , containers and other things.

[lyric copper]

kinda?

[naive solar]

It depends on luck right?

[rich blade]

I do rather get that, but its not even that good tho

But has nearly the same gold and at least a tank for sure

[trail quest]

Wish it gave gold comp then I would buy it but not going to spend £12 on credits. Only 4/5 tanks I don’t have from it

[storm blade]

idk where to put this but this what the soviet heavy branch would look like if it was realistic

[misty wing]

Why would the ISU lead to an IS-2
And a KV-1S to KV-85 to KV-122 tree occupies too many tier slots tbh

[storm blade]

yea its just the KV series development guide

also
its the other way around, IS-2 leads to ISU
cause ISU is made with an IS chassis

SU-152 + IS = ISU-152

[misty wing]

Kinda whack format tbh. Also I would've been more interested in what the higher tiers would be

[storm blade]

ill make a realistic IS branch

based on the development history

[blissful cave]

I simply LOVE the design of T-28 the huge multi turret design i really like another reason is it’s Finnish use and history making it my 5th all time favorite
Fun fact they nicknamed this tank “postijuna” (mail train) because one of the ones they captured was full of mail to be sent back to Soviet territory and say it kinda looks like a train

I love T-28 : )

[amber geode]

Then you will probably like the T-35. I've seen this thing only once, but it's really enormous, like, it is almost twice the size of the T-28.

[blissful cave]

Yees I know about T-35 the even bigger T-28 that one’s cool too one if it’s turrets is the T-26 one

[amber geode]

[blissful cave]

Yea it’s a lot like T-28 during that era where even huge tanks had very thin armor the most similar thing in game is it’s predecessor Großtraktor and even though it’s a heavy it has no armor

Lmaooo speaking of guess who’s in the shop rn I just opened the game for the first time today and großtraktor happened to come for sale

[safe cedar]

Very cool mod, whats the base?

[safe cedar]

people be thinking your short until they realize how big T-28 is

[wary summit]

Smells like the KV-4 in a way

[safe cedar]

Probably

[blissful cave]

Yea tanks are huge I’m 6ft

[safe cedar]

Yeah, im not surprised.
I can't even see the deck of AMX-50b, lol. Even my 2.05m beast of a brother is absolutely dwarfed by a good of tanks.

[blissful cave]

But I was surprised just how huge KV-1 next to it is it’s like as big as it
T-28 somewhat expectable since it’s supposed to be one of those big “landship” kinda ideas but KV-1 is simply just a huge tank

[safe cedar]

Youll be shocked how big maus is

[blissful cave]

ISU-152 is one I am always surprised by whenever I see it it looks a lot smaller in pictures and expect it to be smaller because it’s a turretless TD but it’s still massive

[sturdy apex]

what would happen if the sp1c and ru 251 were given spall liner?

[blissful cave]

Then I wouldn’t be able to one hit it with ISU-152 HE lmao

Also I’ve never seen an IS only the ISU so basically only the hull of one

[safe cedar]

The gun is equally massive.

[blissful cave]

IS-2 and 3 are two I really want to see but Finland never captured a 2 and 3 I COULDVE seen at bovington but I didn’t know they even had one (it was somewhere in the conservation garage I had limited view of the sentinel was in there too I really wanted to see that)

[sturdy apex]

well, i don't really like being bullied by smashers

[safe cedar]

Mhm, the conservation garage is honestly bullocks.

[blissful cave]

They had Strv 103 in there too but luckily that one was right in front of the place I had limited view of,sentinel was way in the back corner I didn’t know it was even there until I had to piece it together if it’s exact location using videos

Basically in short they posted a video about it and I saw Pershing in the back which I could see the turret of so using that I figured out it was in that back corner

[safe cedar]

Im pretty sure their is something you can do to see the floor of the conservation centre.

[blissful cave]

Bovington be like “look at all these cool unique tanks we have too bad you can’t see half of them”

When I went you were only allowed on this balcony that overviews it but as I said the ones in the back corner weren’t visible and they’re all very close to eachother it’s hard to tell what some are

[safe cedar]

Visitors are not allowed.
You have to get explicit permission to go to the floor.

[blissful cave]

Yooo I saw the sentinel in my picture exactly where I figured out it’d be
When I asked someone there they straight up told me they don’t have the sentinel anymore

Right there against the wall with the chairs by the Pershing (notice camo color)

Hopefully I’ll go back and during a day they have the tanks running

And Strv 103 I want to go back to Sweden but like actually this time (not just cross the border and be like “yooo I’m in Sweden”) and go to a tank museum there since I absolutely love their tank designs and maybe even see that half completed kranvagn

[blissful cave]

I neeed to see maus and Karl gerät is right next to it too

I just want to go to kubinka in general they have so many cool ones I need to see like IS-7,SU-100Y and the weirdo object 279

[amber geode]

Oh, I was there a long time ago

[safe cedar]

Kranvagn is in a bad state

Just beware, it's missing quite a few peices & unfortunately still hasnt had its wheels/suspension restored.

[blissful cave]

They should make a replica turret to at least have it look complete

[safe cedar]

I think the return of its roadwheels first would be a greater priority.

[blissful cave]

slap that centurion turret on it and make Strv K official

[safe cedar]

It would be a great idea, unfortunately the museum is starved of cash

[blissful cave]

Imagine how weird that’d be for tank history
Original plans-around the time kran was built
Strv K actually assembled-present day
Service? Never because it was just put together in a museum

[safe cedar]

im sure if someone organized the fundraising and got a surplus Centuion turret and shipped it to the Museum they would absolutely consider it.

[blissful cave]

Yoooo

If you get enough people to care it can happen
Parola tank museum was saved by girls und panzer because of the popularity it gave BT-42 making tons of people want to preserve the only surviving one and fund building a shelter roof over the tanks

[safe cedar]

Same thing happened to Batchat.

[blissful cave]

Really?

[safe cedar]

Lol it would have been destroyed in WOT was never released.

[blissful cave]

Yea wot is how everyone knows a lot of these tanks even exist at all

I wouldn’t know like anything about obscure prototypes or even concepts if it weren’t for this game

Basically just only all the main iconic actually used tanks

[meager spindle]

depends, its a chonky boi but does have it's advantages

[misty wing]

I'm a big believer in DU rounds over tungsten rounds personally

Leopard is definitely the best tank for the export market though. Since US doesn't sell their best Abrams, and Leclerc is very expensive apparently

[dry dagger]

ку

[safe cedar]

Leopard 2 fan boy spotted, opinion invalidated.

Abrams & leclerc are both easily on par with leopard 2.

T-80u & Leopard 2a1 are roughly on par.

[misty wing]

I feel like Leopard 2 fans just like it because they feel as though it carries on the legacy of the likes of the tigers and panthers

There's almost no evidence to suggest it is superior to other top western designs

[meager spindle]

I just like it for its interesting development life, post production ehhh

[balmy compass]

Leopard 1 looks cooler and is therefore better 😎

[blissful cave]

I like leopard 2 it’s my favorite of the current day MBT designs

[zenith shadow]

Yeah grobtracktor is in shop. Tho idk why they sell all of the low tier tanks for usd

Like what if we wanna buy with gold

[valid gale]

Protection frontally is superior to leclerc and abrams it’s also lighter than the abrams , abrams is really the only thing better than the leopard but because it’s so technology and resource demanding it’s not an ideal choice for exports

Leclerc also isn’t ideal it’s even more technology intensive and has far less protection than the rest of the current mbts

[misty wing]

I highly doubt we can evaluate protection considering how classified some of the information is

[valid gale]

Leopards front turret armor even hollow causes darts to shatter and fail from how steep it is hulldown is the same story this has been known since the A5 model

Same goes for the A2 in raw thickness it’s better than the leopard the 2C thickens the turret even more

When it comes to the guns abrams is nearing the max lifespan of the M256 and the A4 round maxes out of the current designs capability

[wicked thunder]

Abrams guzzling fuel like nothing else:

[valid gale]

It’s not fuel hungry as it’s mythed to be odd enough

It takes multiple different fuels too

[wicked thunder]

For the power it gets, it’s fuel consumption is rather reasonable

[honest rampart]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the AMX 56's side protection was absolutly horrible

Depends on which Abrams you take, the latest version yes, the AbramsX not by any means. (Ik that the AbramsX is just to show what they can make, and not a real prototype unlike the Kettenfahrzeug 51 Panther, but this is a weegee server)

Although I do have the idea that the Leopard 2A7+ is overlooked by the M1A2 Abrams, T-14 Armata and the K2 Black Panther. Feels like ppl forget about and it's existence it's capabilities, just like the AMX 56 and T-90MS Tagil <-- yes the Tagil is something worth and not useless

[safe cedar]

Its actually better than sep v3 abrams in the latest edition of leclerc.

[honest rampart]

Oof

[safe cedar]

Leopard 2 is probably the most renowned and universally acclaimed tank alongside the vaunted abrams.

[honest rampart]

T-14 Armata is wayy more hyped up, at least I feel like it is

[safe cedar]

generally the T-## series has proven itself to be absolutely superb. Anyone who discounts the latest T-80 & T-90 variants is just kissing their own cheeks.

[honest rampart]

Yeah

[lone sage]

well I believe that's up to debate if we consider combat performance. although it might have more to do with tactics than the technical capabilities

[honest rampart]

I mean, ppl compare Russian tanks to tanks of countries with unlimited budget, ofc they won't always win

[lone sage]

If you look at the Golan heights defense by Israel, I would argue that's not a matter of budget, but gun elevation, gun depression, tactics, and armor

[safe cedar]

its like people comparing T-72b to Leopard 2a7

[honest rampart]

Yes

[safe cedar]

Look at the iran-iraq war. When on equal footing they devoured cheiftans & pattons whole.

[honest rampart]

Then they also should compare a Leopard 1 to a T80BVM or smth

[safe cedar]

neither T-64, T-72, or T-80 fought at golan heights.

[daring merlin]

Battle of 73 Easting

[honest rampart]

Ik you shouldn't talk about politics here, but I don't want to hear the word Israel or Palestina,

[safe cedar]

exactly, T-72a was produced closer to 1941 than it was to 2010.

[lone sage]

No, but T-XX series tanks did, and I think it is an example where they were overhyped, by quite a lot, fighting half modernized Centurions

[honest rampart]

Remember that even with an auto reloading system, you still need a crew with training

[lone sage]

Now, it is as everything, there is overhype and underestimation, not all tanks on the T-## line were superb in all situation and contexts, as multiple wars have also proven

[safe cedar]

Yeah, Oh my... poorly equipped 20+ year old tanks of a demoralized army that had already knew they lost, failed to stop the coalition of the most powerful armies in human history.

[safe cedar]

If your counting T-54... sure...

However thats not what Im referring too.

[daring merlin]

Elements of Republican guard in dug in defending positions. Hardly people looking to raise the white flag. The fire control was simply superior. Mind you Bradley's had a fair share of the ass kicking

[safe cedar]

Do you know why they were dug in? Because they lacked the skill, training, and support to conduct combined arms operations.

especially considering the republican gaurd ultimately put up less of a fight than the main-stay regular army.

[safe cedar]

Its like pitting a 7 year doberman against a pair of 3 year old pit-bulls. Of course the pit-bulls will win, they are specialized, aggressive, know what to do, and outnumber the doberman. Does that mean the doberman is a weak dog? Not at all, its just old, outnumbered, and not suited for the given scenario.

[daring merlin]

Outnumbered? The Abrams were Outnumbered. But like a said superior fire control and optics and good old initiative

[honest rampart]

Yeah, putting a 2 year old tank with trained crew against a 30 year old tank with a crew that barely knows how to fire a rifle, let alone operate a tank is fair

[wise moth]

Is the Abrams a better tank than the T-72? Undoubtedly.

Also, is pitting vastly superior crews against an enemy that decided to turn their tanks into fixed fortifications a good way to judge performance? Definitely not

[daring merlin]

The Republican Guards were not some green outfit. You forget they were battle tested against Iran

[wise moth]

Better than conscripts? Yes. Anywhere near the training/cohesion/skill of US crews? No

At the end of the day, in most machine vs. machine battles, the outcome is like 70% dictated by whoever has the better crew/pilot/men behind the wheel

[honest rampart]

Yeah

[lone sage]

I think nobody can argue it was a fair fight, clearly the coalition had many advantages

[safe cedar]

If you reversed the tables and placed m1 abrams against T-72b or T-72B3 abrams would likely have suffered a similar situation to the T-72m's.

[daring merlin]

Im not talking about the whole war. But just one battle

[lone sage]

you cannot just ignore the context of that battle

[lone sage]

that is ambitious hehe, but we will never know

[wise moth]

It’s difficult to judge the performance based on that one battle. It’s like judging the performance of Abrams by some of the humiliating Abrams losses in the hands of many Middle Eastern crews

[safe cedar]

I think it's safe to say the middle east can be entirely disregarded in terms of the effectiveness of armored fighting vehicles.

Considering Africans managed to do better with T-34s and armoured cars than they did with actual tanks.

[wise moth]

The only modern conflict involving MBTs I can think of off the top of my head that has large scale battles that wasn’t fought between totally lopsided crew qualities are the Pakistan/Indian wars

[safe cedar]

Remind me when Iran consistently defeated some of the strongest global powers in modern history.

[lone sage]

then your argument on the Iran-Iraq war doesn't work either (I don't know this war enough arguably). Nonethless, we go back to context, and the absence of "magic weapons"

[safe cedar]

Iran-iraq war is something of an abnormality, given both sides were relatively equally matched.

[daring merlin]

Whats the point your trying to make? It was regional conflict between Iran and Iraq. Iran only fights proxy wars now

[safe cedar]

probably because they keep losing

[daring merlin]

Iran's navy resembles what you might see during Florida superbowl party

[safe cedar]

Thats the point

[daring merlin]

If you compare Iraq had the upper hand to start with. The war was a bloody draw

[lone sage]

that very subjective to take that war and say "this one is the only valid argument in the ME" and even then, as other pointed out, it wasn't so one sided

[safe cedar]

Im not saying it should be considered either, im simply stating its an abnormality.

[wicked thunder]

Abrams TUSK my beloved

[daring merlin]

Even in todays conflict. Tank on tank is rare. Im talking about Russian - Ukraine

[lone sage]

another good example of the not so superb T-## tanks in some contexts

[safe cedar]

Personally My favorite is AMX auf 1.

[wicked thunder]

Not really, it’s just a complete failure of Russian tactics to deal with an enemy that isn’t willing to face them head in in a war of annihilation

[honest rampart]

T-90MS Tagil my beloved <3

[safe cedar]

ehh overall they have been doing fine now that the situation has stabilized.

[daring merlin]

Given that its all shiny and new. All interviews ive seen of Western armour in Ukrainian hands. Its been more popular vs the Soviet tanks they had for longer. Better crew survival and fire control and optics

[valid gale]

We didn’t suffer having to adhere to to an old doctrine

[blissful cave]

AAAAGH I didn’t do a tank of the day yet

[lyric copper]

[blissful cave]

https://i.insider.com/61057e83ea74d40019ba040e?width=1200&format=jpeg ayo what is that?!

[lyric oriole]

use a stop gap tank

like you being late and just needing one anyway

[lyric copper]

now thats a joke and a half

[blissful cave]

“Hmmmg put MORE guns on it”

[lyric copper]

all of them are recoilless rifles lol

"ok so we cant really hop out and load one in the middle of combat"
"just add a few more so you have backups in combat, just reload them when you have disengaged"

[lyric oriole]

this would likely be an SPG and not an assault tank

wrong reply

[blissful cave]

They still count for T.O.D
As I’ve said vehicles that are very similar to tanks like artillery,armored cars and SPG’s count too

[lyric oriole]

anyways it probably would not be used in direct combat scenarios

no they count

I was referring to CEO

[blissful cave]

What is this despicable me lookin ah machine

[blissful cave]

Ah perfect much better

For when 6 is just not enough

[safe acorn]

Tell that to the Swedes that CHOSE the Leopard 2 and its NOT my opinion it is a HISTORICAL fact

If they wanted other tanks they would've changed by now wouldn't they

[wicked thunder]

The Swedes made improvements to the leopard 2s they have…

[safe acorn]

That they did

[lyric copper]

swedish military budget: nej

[valid gale]

Strv 122 has better roof and frontal armor then leopard 2 while sporting the L55

[lyric copper]

honestly whenever a country buys something military related from another, its mostly about cost compared to quality

plus the Swedes are really, really good at modifying things for their needs

[safe acorn]

On the topic of exports
Apparently Singapore had the same type of testing the Swedes did with MBTs

We were offered the Chally 2 and Leo 2 and we all know which one blew what out of the water

Wonder why we weren't offered the Merk

[valid gale]

That one’s the worst possible one for exports

[lyric copper]

chally 2 is overweight and cumbersome

also rifled gun (i hate the MoD)

[valid gale]

Slow - frontal armor is surprisingly weak and very technology intensive on the exterior of the turret alone

[lyric copper]

honest to god our MoD denying us good MBTs since the 60s

[safe acorn]

The least know tank export Singapore had was the few Centurion mk 5s

[blissful cave]

We’re pretty good at that too : D
bolts a bunch of metal plates onto what are already very lightly armored tanks but I guess it worked

[safe acorn]

A lotta people consider the AMX-13-90 to be our MBT when something bigger exists

[lyric copper]

Israel kinda wants to keep them all

[safe acorn]

Well someone bought 50 Merkava IVs

[solid gate]

@honest rampart hello, sorry if i bother you, but, updates on the polish line - i am already in the 40TP Habicha, I believe it won't take so long to get into tier 7 and 8

[safe cedar]

Its almost like... germany had a surplus of leopard 2's which were cheaper than buying fresh leclercs or abrams...

[safe acorn]

that and the Leo doesnt chug down fuel like Budweisers on a hot summer day

[safe cedar]

Your AMX-13s are barely functional, they are literally falling apart. However if your government is interested I'll gladly take your AMX-13s off your hands.

Shhh samething.
We didn't colonize you guys, how would I know.

[safe acorn]

tbf getting colonized by France is the worst fate that can befall a nation so i think its a plus

[safe cedar]

No, being colonized by Belgium, portugal, or Germany is worse

[safe acorn]

thankfully its impossible

[safe cedar]

Tell that to congo

[safe acorn]

impossible as in they couldnt come here

[safe cedar]

They could... lol

However currently they are trying to keep people out, not bring people in.

[safe acorn]

portugal got only a pube hair of land out of the South East Asian region, what makes you think Belgium and Germany can do better

that and i think both were never interested in SEA in the first place (only rumors about Germany colonizing North Malaya which ofc didnt happen)

Thanks

[wary summit]

Langkawi moment

[dim pollen]

Naah. It's a solid tank lol

[dim pollen]

The backside of any tank is the weakest.
But u cannot always expect a tank to show its butt towards u.
Side tracks, lower plate of the hull, turret cheeks are some of the notable weak spots other than the back.
If u ever feel to use HE, target the back and the turret cheeks which are often weak. DON'T HIT THE TRACKS.

AP shells are a confirm hit if used at the weak point.

[tulip steppe]

You could also use resources like Armor inspector and tank compare, etc.

[plucky summit]

Except Excelsior, AT 2, and some others

[wary summit]

Excelsior casually having more rear armour than the sides is pretty funny

[honest rampart]

No, you're not bothering me, don't worry about that :) And no, mostly tier VI and VII are quite easy to go trough, although the 53TP (tier VIII) is quite expensive, but agruabaly the strongest techtree tank of the tier

[next stump]

decided to feed the machine, spent 20k gold for drac

[wary summit]

What made you think that was a great idea

A subpar medium that only goes fast and is just an overglorified light tank

4.5k could be a good amount for what it is, funnelling nearly 5x the amount is pure ridiculous and shows WG how gullible you people are for the supply and demand trick

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/502018644193181706/1165650522586497084/attachment.gif?ex=65479fa5&is=65352aa5&hm=59d0cf1da409e019274b4ce03e7865377b939aa4fe174f3f460430e64f16eab8&

[zenith shadow]

LTG 💪

[distant nymph]

Oh, I'm a huge fan of the Stugs, it's the most common tank I've seen IRL. The germans produced a boatload of them and the Ausf G (we also had a couple of Ausf Cs) was the most powerful tank fielded by my homeland in WW2. I really want to sit inside one but all I've seen are in VERY poor condition

Here's a picture of an Ausf C and a G operated by the bulgarian royal army

[blissful cave]

Yeees the stuG was a hugely important tank in Finland too they were the most useful tanks we had and nicknamed Sturmi

[distant nymph]

because we like imitating the major powers, we used the very german dry sounding "Shturmovo orudie T-III" - Assault gun T-III

waaait a min. WE HAD A JAGDPANZER 4?! (This is the only pic of a bulgarian Jpz 4 when it was in service, I think it's in Hungary, pushing back our former allies - the germans, it's the later long barrel one, every other picture I find is when it was entrenched in the krali marko line postwar)

this server really needs a historical chat

[blissful cave]

When Germany helped in the continuation war Finland bought StuGs which became the most reliable tank since mostly relying on capturing tanks is pretty inconsistent with amount and condition you get them in

[blissful cave]

Exactly I use this channel as that constantly because it’s the closest one that isn’t one of the general chats where it’s hard to have a conversation when there’s like 5 different ones going on at once
We’re talking about tanks so vehicle discussion is good enough

[distant nymph]

Alright, I haven't read about our army in a bit. Well it was one hell of a mess tank wise - at the end of WW2 we had:
Stug 3, ausf C and G - Shturmovo orudie T-III
Stug 4
Panzer 4 G - Maybach T-IV
Pz 38t
LT vz 35 from the Chezh - named Skoda T-11
Jagdpanzer 4 with both the short gun and the L70 long 75
Hetzer
two T-34/85s left over from passing soviets in early '45
Panzer 1, H35 and Vickers E for training

And I think the panther that is hiding in the back was broken down, so I don't classify it as an operational tank

[zenith shadow]

Stug is on chase of pz3 right?

[blissful cave]

Yes stug is III
Jagdpanzer iv is panzer iv

[distant nymph]

Don't forget the Stug IV, which was a stug III casemate welded to a Panzer 4 hull

[meager spindle]

look up the waffentragers, some of them are real

[distant nymph]

I know about the waffentragers, I've seen the Alkett WT in real life too and I know the jpz 4 is real, I didn't know such a small minor army like ours would have a Jpz 4, they're like rare and probably needed by the germans

[meager spindle]

krupp-steyr to

[distant nymph]

it's easily the best looking one, I've forgotten if it survived the war or not

[meager spindle]

also the ardelt, but im pretty sure it was blueprint only

[distant nymph]

oh wait I've seen this one IRL, in kubinka, absolutely real and very strange looking

[meager spindle]

unless the one above isn't ardelt bc this one is different and goes by same name

[distant nymph]

next to I think the only sturer emil left

[meager spindle]

imagine if the WT Auf E100 was real, ngl WG did pretty well at making a fictional WT based off E100

[warm snow]

holy F boys!

[warm snow]

howd the event get you them all? or just the camos?

[bright tapir]

yo does anyone know what the credit coefficient for the tornvagn is? blitzstars doesn't say

also if you have experience with it, is it good for grinding credits? i have some other tier 8 premiums but i don't enjoy the playstyle of those and mostly play them for credits. kinda wanted a credit grinder i'd enjoy more

[tulip steppe]

lowe, super persh,ts5, soviet heavies, 274a are all at the top of tier 8 credit makers

[lyric copper]

most tier 8 premiums grind credits well

the tornvagn just goes hulldown and can start farming

[bright tapir]

ok cool think i'll get it, mostly just wanted a tank for credits i can tolerate playing

[lyric copper]

just so you know it gets boring quick

least boring and mentally draining hulldown spam tank:

[bright tapir]

i was actually grinding the kran line and ran out of credits for the kran itself, i like those tanks and i assume they play the same way as the tornvagn, think i might enjoy it if the playstyle's similar enough

[zenith shadow]

I think it would be amazing

[zenith shadow]

Sad only 1 sturer emil

[blissful cave]

I got an offer for this ace pfp does it mark any special thing like passing 100 aces I got the offer on my 104th ace game
And now there’s a temporary one that was given to me too

[wicked thunder]

No it’s just a thing that pops up

[safe cedar]

Thats an R35 btw.

[safe cedar]

Their were literally two, the fact one remains is absolutely insane.

[wary summit]

Apparently, the Russians have created the Grille (or the SU-130pm if you're a purist)

[solid gate]

grille but without armor on the gun

[heady flare]

This would be a nice skin for the STRV K

[shrewd fog]

yeah i wonder when blitz gets a collab with sabaton properly

[solid gate]

they would never do that

[solid gate]

At the very least? Do u even know what that means? The forest witch is trash

[uncut spindle]

Which type of tank is good Heavy tank or Tank Destroyer?

[foggy cloud]

I need it

[solid gate]

Ur skill and playstyle determine all

[timid phoenix]

I have a fully upgraded kv2, and I kinda like to switch guns and go full on derp or sometimes with the zis6, and I was wondering what gun is better, because sometimes with the zis6 you go into a tier 7 battle but sometimes with the 152 millimeter gun you don’t have much penetration and you have much longer reload time. But with the zis6 about most of the time I head into battle is when I lose that game. Any tips?

[solid gate]

for the 152 in t7 u should avoid fighting face to face but remeber dont camp just support ur hts

[rich blade]

everytime 152, if u figure out u cant pen something just splash them with HE, u dont need to got for a pen everytime

[lyric copper]

107mm for being effective

152mm for memes

• you can just splash people with the 152mm for a guaranteed 300-500 damage

[timid phoenix]

But what equipment should I use

[rich blade]

I would go for normal rammer + aimtime

[lapis anvil]

blitz still has broken he mechanics- u can splash crazy with kv2. just aim in in the general area of the turret ring or engine deck and watch ppl get set on fire

[safe cedar]

Switch between guns they are both competitive and completely fun.

Im personally à 107mm lover.

[timid phoenix]

Are calibrated shells good tho?

[lapis anvil]

blasphemy!!

[safe cedar]

No, then you cant capitalise on the insane dpm

[timid phoenix]

So no supercharger then right?

[rich blade]

since u dont snipe hopefully no, ofc not

[lyric copper]

supercharger is kinda ehh since pen over distance doesnt matetr in blitz, plus learn to lead your shells

[lapis anvil]

aiming devices and calibrated - u need it

[timid phoenix]

Do I use improved optics?

[lapis anvil]

it is somewhat in play due to shell velocitiess being nerfed across the board and many rounds being switched to apcr

[lyric copper]

why drop aimtime for the "ohh i cant give lead" crutch

[rich blade]

since u dont snipe hopefully yes ofc yes

[lapis anvil]

giving lead needs a lot of open space. which happens rarely. im talking abt cluth shots during mid range peeking

[lyric copper]

like the only tank i use SC on is the Leo 1 for the M7 sv meme

[timid phoenix]

Should I use high end consumables

[lyric copper]

yeah you give lead there by aiming where the enemy will be when your shell lands

@timid phoenix CDS is always better unless you have a superconsumable, which the KV-2 doesnt

[rich blade]

I personally prefer cooldown speed but u need to know

[solid gate]

panther and st.emil is it a good duo?

[lyric copper]

2 tanks in garage 💀
ranks 💀
no credits 💀
no provisions 💀
goofy aah ammo load on St. Emil 💀
optics on a sniper TD 💀

your entire account is just bad decisions

[solid gate]

i got hacked tho and i didnt play the game for 3 months

[balmy compass]

St. Emil only has 2 shell types on the top gun

[lyric copper]

10 and 8 is kinda pushing it, even though the St. Emil is still unlikely to fire all 18 shells, its nonetheless an unusual loadout for it

[balmy compass]

That’s fair
I would probably do 12/6 lol

[limpid wind]

Im still confused why this tank is a Blitz nation, like we have now EU tanks so why is this standing in Blitz Nation????

[tulip steppe]

ikr same with t55a and I think Swedish t6 autoloader is still blitz flag

[wary summit]

Annoyingly, so does the M4/FL10

[lyric copper]

mind you, thats an Egyptian tank

its probably WG just being lazy and forgetting though

T-55A should be in the German tree

[wary summit]

I mean they could just shove it to the French tech tree in a way

Like the supposedly M4A1 Rev

They did that with PC so why not Blitz

[blissful cave]

They should do the flags for the smaller countries with not enough tanks and wouldn’t fit in EU like Egypt like they do with Australia in Britain or Canada in US
Just put the Egypt flag but have it work as a hybrid nation in game (appears in the sort,has their consumables and stuff)

[limpid wind]

Well meaby like a global flag

[tulip steppe]

isn't that how it works now , thy have Canada/Aussie flag backdrop but under blitz flag I think

[blissful cave]

Canada has the flag but works as a US tank
And Australia appears under Britain
They use their consumables and appear in sort as those

[tulip steppe]

no we'd (Can) be under British or blitz flag, same as Aussie

[blissful cave]

In the game Canada is sorted under US

[tulip steppe]

really wow I haven't played the ram is awhile, hmm that's odd to be under the states

guess maybe because it was a US tank to start with

[timid phoenix]

Better Put it under #clan-recruitment before something bad happens

<@&481447501690568709>

[subtle viper]

Bro bout to get the hammer he put it in EVERY chat in this server

[timid phoenix]

Yea I know

Less go he got banned

[unkempt ether]

When they will add a new X tank?

[blissful cave]

There’s 2 in testing rn and I bet they’ll be released one for Black Friday one for Christmas
The Chinese 114 one and American XM66

[unkempt ether]

Wtf hell nah

they probably gonna be ass

When is going to be the goat VK 90.01 (P)??

Bc I got 20k for VK and I’m waiting when they will add the tank

[timid phoenix]

What British tier x is good for beginners?

[unkempt ether]

which one

if it’s snickers then yes

[timid phoenix]

Wdym

[unkempt ether]

You don’t know what it means?Like the British tank

I will show u

@timid phoenix

Snickers = this one

[trail quest]

The 114 sp2 seems to be meh, TD in wot and a heavy with no armour in blitz. The xm66 it gonna be strong as they keep nerfing and buffing it. This means they know it’s OP but are refusing to just make it properly balanced

[lyric copper]

none of them

[trail quest]

The 4202 would probably be fine, I know the player would have to learn the non hesh gun is better but that’s not hard to realise

[timid phoenix]

Is there also any good tier 10 American tanks?

[blissful cave]

Gotta do a tank of the day but I have work all day today so I gotta think of one that’d be quick and easy to write one for

[timid phoenix]

Is 60tp lewandoskigo a good tank for beginners?

[lethal frigate]

Why does the Glacier appear to be a worse version of the Centurion 7/1?

[warm geyser]

ghbdtn

[blissful cave]

Todays tank of the day T-50
I already did one on the captured T-50 in Finnish service but this one is about the production history of the tank

[lyric flower]

Русские есть?

[hushed tide]

I will Say something i am from Hungary and i know wot added and have hungarian tanks so no problem right? No they are premium that means i can't get them but i really like hungarian tanks so can you please add them in europe or something 😀

I mean we have more then 7 types of Toldi and ithink 8 of Turan and i am not even speaking of tank destroyers and heavys

[lyric copper]

no

[warm geyser]
