[prisma dove]

No
KV-1's historical gun is the 76 mm ZiS-5.
Possibly the U-11 was used on a number of them, I don't know.

[nocturne mirage]

and by 76mm I mean the better F-34 and somewhat F-32 guns

[icy wadi]

my brother in Christ do you know what a joke is

[prisma dove]

Yes

[nocturne mirage]

well some did incorporate the 85mm, but very brief, KV-85 rings a bell

[prisma dove]

Ah yea true

[nocturne mirage]

well this is all swell and well, goodbye gents, good chat, aplogies for outburst. I wish Zaloga said this lol

[icy wadi]

you actually think i believe this GUN would fit in the kv-1's turret?

[nocturne mirage]

cant say anything there, again in a fixed mount, for a 360 degree rotation even without a turret basket, not likley, size seems too big, a lot of frontal drip and therefore stress on the sprocket

[icy wadi]

isn't su-122 a t-34 chassis though
also no, the d-30 is a cannon

[nocturne mirage]

D-30 yes is a cannon, but I assure you no KV had this cannon, it was started with the IS series

[prisma dove]

That was a D-5T though, not the F-30 in game. KV-85 is in fact what we know as the potato's KV-1S

[nocturne mirage]

true

[icy wadi]

the is series used the d-25T
not the d-30

[nocturne mirage]

at some point I believe they did too, this would be the gun coming after the 25, so ye, believe the ISU-122 used the d25 too

[prisma dove]

D-30 looks like a CW-era or so gun

[icy wadi]

no, they all stuck with the d-25t

[nocturne mirage]

exactly....

[icy wadi]

the gun was so outdated and they actually put it in an is-4M

[safe acorn]

[nocturne mirage]

Happy birthday dude

[blissful cave]

Think I could ask wargaming to slide me a Sherman V? (¬‿¬) as a little present

[safe acorn]

Why stop there
Straight up ask for the SO-122

[blissful cave]

Nah not that I got a better idea

[blissful cave]

But yeah now that I got the jumbo that’s the only Sherman I’m missing

[safe acorn]

Sherman III/IV maybe

[blissful cave]

Yeah for Sherman’s that can be added
But the only one that’s already in the game I don’t have is V

[safe acorn]

Ngl maybe Britain was the answer all along

Brit Mediums have been the most easiest tanks I've played, and this is comparing against the E-50M line and the Prog

[rough saffron]

That thing will break the hull when it fires

The commies attached a 122mm gun on a t44 and the turret detached + injured the guy in the process

[prisma dove]

This?

[rough saffron]

Yes

[prisma dove]

Works just fine in WoTB lol

[rough saffron]

IT'S A GAME

[safe acorn]

Worked fine IRL

Only problem was the cramped conditions screwed with whatever rate of fire was available

That and the fumes, but ofc all soviet tanks at the time had no vents

And also being a 122mm
How much ammo can you actually bring in THAT vehicle for it to be good

@blissful cave @nocturne mirage interesting post yes?

https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldofTanks/s/zHy6ZXirgJ

[blissful cave]

We should get a czech rear turret tech tree line out of these that’d be cool

[nocturne mirage]

pretty interesting

agree rear turret czech line is a good fit, can be a good heavy or even medium which can reliably sidescrape anywhere, annoying a tanks these

[safe acorn]

haha no, here have the DBV-152

[nocturne mirage]

who is this guy, where are these coming from a 75mm auto loader for the tiger? I mean they would do for the tiger what they would do for the panther, but still, 105mm auto,oader porsche? tiger II? cant be the tiger 1 competitor

[blissful cave]

makes a whole tech tree out of stretching skoda T45 and skoda T-56

[safe acorn]

Oh yeah Czech apparently tried to test out an autoloader for both these vehicles

[nocturne mirage]

duuude...wow post war?

https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldofTanks/s/9BijTG6ziZ

Now this

This is the gold mine

@blissful cave it's nice to know now that there's actually not that many far fictional tanks in WoT
For the main nations at least

Huh.. T-54 Lightweight does exist

[wary summit]

For what purpose do they need a lighter tank from an already light medium

Unless they did it like the Type 62, what reason would the brainfart for that would be

[safe acorn]

Basically it was made shortly after the T-54 started to show issues and limitations

Made to supplement the bigger one in roles it couldn't fit in (IE actual recon missions) added the fact the T-54 ltwt would feature all the fixes and modifications the current T-54 didn't have

@nocturne mirage read this for sec

[nocturne mirage]

hish...nice, remember this post tho

[safe acorn]

It's apparently connected to the Polish TDs with the weird star muzzle

[nocturne mirage]

sweet sweet, this thing would be able to knock out T-34s from at least around 8000m frontally, I say this because the PaK 43 L/71 88mm, took them out from 3000 meters frontally and managed to hit the engine deck too, as in the shell passed through, so, ye this thing be a beast, but at what cost? only to crack on the first shot lol

[safe acorn]

It's connected to the fact that the Obj 279 was also insane and had a proposal to have an 85mm gun with length of L/175

[nocturne mirage]

☠️, if you ask me it sounds like tanks would be built at thick and girthy as ships at some point, you cant have a gun so long, but the tank is well even around 6 to 7m long, asking for cracking of the tube after firing and or repercussins

[safe acorn]

It's 12 to 14m long

[normal forge]

?

[nocturne mirage]

exactly, its stupid if the tank is like 6 to 7m in length

[normal forge]

they are completely made up, no?

[safe acorn]

So the star shape was a thing

[nocturne mirage]

alright I see, pretty neat

[safe acorn]

This makes the Polish TDs sound actually more convincing

[nocturne mirage]

no doubt for me too

thats some impressive firepower in ballistic specifically, while the system which the gun operates under is kept in check for the weapon to not have problems, not surprised, you go that long, you need something

other alternative is to keep the tanks nice and long and thick too

[safe acorn]

Now we can only wonder what wacky mechanic WG would add and then turn out to be real months later

[nocturne mirage]

haha, how about if big boss mode and the stuff there turn up real? 😂, the one in blitz 🤣

[wary summit]

Then what the hell did they do with the PT-76 which came 5 years before that

[safe acorn]

Brother PT-76 maybe a light tank
But dear god it's only the weight

[violet timber]

Amphibious operations

[median field]

Is the tiger ll worth the buy?

[sullen abyss]

I think it’s a nice tank

But you’ll always need to make use of cover because it’s armor is a joke compared to its competitors

[steep jacinth]

[tacit rapids]

L/130...?

Jesus christ how long would that be

[valid gale]

130 inches???

[tacit rapids]

...I thought that L/71 for example is 71 calibers long?

[rough saffron]

Tiger 2 is great and worth keeping.

[safe acorn]

Probably around 6-7 meters

what in heavens name is this? why does it have a frying pan for a turret? @blissful cave @safe acorn is this real tank?

its so funny looking

You do know that most of them are made up right?

[nocturne mirage]

@rough saffron fake huh? 🤣

[blissful cave]

Apparently real AND built
Do your research sometimes it only takes a 2 second google search of its name to see it could actually be a built tank

[nocturne mirage]

so weird looking wow

[blissful cave]

Some of the obscure blueprint concepts may take more searching but a lot of them are surprisingly real

[rough saffron]

The turret is different 😐 🫴

[nocturne mirage]

hate post war tanks, most likely post

[nocturne mirage]

🤦‍♂️ just take the L, doing this will make you dig deeper holls

[rough saffron]

What L, why are you being so passive aggresive to me lol?

[nocturne mirage]

you are constantly finding ways to try be right, you have been proven wrong, dont try evade now, saying turret wrong, tank is real end of discussion

you asking for it btw

[rough saffron]

Ok, go ahead show me how many of the tanks in wot are real

[nocturne mirage]

ask galarian or therusskan, they will, there are posts of this UP as I said

[wary summit]

Please

Blitz has unlimited access to the only available FV4202 and still managed to mess up the turret. lower your expectation kekw

[meager spindle]

and yet we got this

[rough saffron]

I thought it looked stupid

Warthunder did get it right somewhat

Btw the auto loader was fitted on the fv4005 but the gun was static and couldn't be moved

[safe acorn]

Literally just go above to one of the posts I sent about them and count the ones for the main nations

[safe acorn]

What Tier are you at now anyways
Can't keep track/never asked yet

[safe acorn]

Shame the concept 5 is dogwater doodoo

[valid gale]

It’s not an autoloader

The stage 1 was essentially a recording device simulating how the gun must operate ergonomically

[nocturne mirage]

lol, firefly ekins, pershing no 40 of robert early

[safe acorn]

Tier VII?
Damn I'm already catching up

[nocturne mirage]

historical accurate marking tanks only, you know this 😂 ww2

[safe acorn]

Ohoh now you can't say that since the UK exhibits a relatively accurate tech tree

[nocturne mirage]

okay, but like typical company letters, certain tactical markings, regimental etc not present, bridging weight, junior regiment numbers or senior? none

see the red bar with white number, means the junior regiment of the stofforshire yeomanry, see the 12, means the leading tank company b, time to sleep stuff like that, the green and black hourglass like thing also means something

ill just leave this here, yes I was wrong lol, but this is what the tank in wot displays

[safe acorn]

Man if only I got 700 gold to spare to buy one of the British skins for Comet

Iirc it was one based on the Iron Duke IV skin, so yeah it fits

You know what's a brilliant idea

What if WG made special campaigns like the current Operation, BUT for new tech trees

Each mission is for each Tier of the tank line

[thorny smelt]

Except for the FV 4005 Stage II's gun and some tanks need renaming

[delicate abyss]

Do you use calibrated shells or gun rammer for the FV215B 183?

[wary summit]

CS since rammer only decreases the thing's reload for 1 second

Not worth it

[nocturne mirage]

that is actually a cool idea

Hello

[robust marlin]

Is the T-25 a good premium tank? I have enough for it but I don't want to buy it unless it's good

[wary summit]

Nope

Worst German tier 5 med, better off using the fun and useful tier 6 tech tree Czech version

[robust marlin]

Thank you, I'm doing the American tree first but I was looking to see what premium tank j could buy that was the first one.

That is all I have for now I'm trying to get the heavy tanks

[bright escarp]

german heavies are better imo

[robust marlin]

Crap. Then what should I go for in the American tree?

[bright escarp]

the american heavy is good but even i find him hard to play

[robust marlin]

For the German ones which heavy should I go for first the tiger p or the vk 36.01 h

[bright escarp]

it depends tiger p on long term is for vk72 but the e100 is also op

[robust marlin]

Ok

[bright escarp]

also i didnt say u shouldn t do the americans

t110e3 is op but u need to be wary cuz ur armor is weak

[robust marlin]

Im gonna go for both

[bright escarp]

my fav tx is the vk 90.01p but its a collector one

[robust marlin]

Dang

[bright escarp]

also if u want some tank destroyer obj 268 is a must get

[wide shard]

Hi,i really want to become a supertester. How can I do that?

[nocturne mirage]

well good news is I am there

for some reason SA is seen as north america haha in wot lol, also yes you are correct, cant count anymore how many platoons were created mid match by various people

[sage galleon]

Is is 7 worth grinding in 2025?

[river quartz]

Yes

[sullen abyss]

@bitter oar

[nocturne mirage]

IS-7 in my opinion is one severly strong tier 10 heavy, it is not to be underestimated

solid speed, solid pull away and reverse times, decent accuracy, decent penetration, on move dispersion for some reason is too good at times, no need to explain armour, its good especially when your opponent is higher than you and you keep going back and forth straight

I am not at all disatisfied with my time in it, plus its a good looking tank, very streamlined

[ripe totem]

Unless you're a beginner looking for a comparatively easy line, I'd suggest you avoid the is7. Equipment rework and powercreep means It's far from the gem it was back in the days. Your hull armor very much is irrelevant. Sure, it's stronger than the is4 for example, but does it really matter when people go through it with gold anyways? The gun itself is awful, lacking pen and dpm compared to its peers. At least you got tungsten + adrenaline ig... only way to make it brawling capable.

[violet timber]

IS-7 and IS-4 are both quite good right now

[sage galleon]

Is the rest of the tech tree like is 1, is 3 and is 8 good or painful?

[ripe totem]

Is8 is delightful. Arguably one of my favorite t9 heavies. Is3 and 1 are meh… middle of the pack

[desert gull]

Did they buff the grille? Feels better for some reason

[blissful cave]

I love the entire IS line I play them all for fun frequently

[sage galleon]

Thank you all for your information on is 7 line

[nocturne mirage]

real? @safe acorn

[blissful cave]

It’s an American tank I’m 99% sure it’s real let me check real quick

Yeah 2 second google search it’s real

This tank looks really cool id want to get it if it came to blitz
But to be fair id get every US tank in bli-wait I just realized

Now that I have Sherman Jumbo I have EVERY (unique) American tank in the game (except AE Phase 1)
So excluding reskins idc about 1776 or the battle pass reskins like magnus

[mint lagoon]

Still confused where is the ammo rack of tog II

I guess I need high penetration bullets or maybe huge calibers to penetrate?

[wary summit]

After the T20, everything is over-tiered

[wary summit]

Right on the side of the hull behind the turret

The problem is that the ammorack HP is 220HP, so one shotting it is impossible since most 15/14/13cm guns it faces only deals 203HP and 185HP of dmg

[worldly knot]

Hey guys could someone help me out with a t10 to grind? I have around 1k games and I’ve almost unlocked the t57 and I have the at 15 rn since I’ve heard reforged is gonna make the 183 grind way harder thanks.

[normal forge]

Gif goes hard

[karmic plover]

If you have 1000 battles I would suggest spending less time trying to grind tier 10 vehicles and more on skills in tier 8 or lower. High tier tanks with no experience is a recipe for frustration for you and your teammates.

[sour bane]

I hate to say that but this organism has maxxed out charisma.

[twin totem]

I agree with what DobyIR said, focus more on getting to tier 8s before trying to fully grind out to a T10, firstly the points DobyIR made, and secondly it can help you learn different tanks a bit better, same goes for maps and map awareness

[worldly knot]

Thanks guys I’ll try to mostly research t7 and t8 tanks at least for now on and try to get most of the lower tier tanks

[twin totem]

[deft stone]

Ye tbh and I still like tier 5 lol. I even traded my tier ix destiny just to get a tier 5 premium and still loving it

@blissful cave hey dude any tanks you wanna buy from the auction if it happened to be sold there ?

[blissful cave]

No, I have every single tank I could possibly want in this game except maybe Sherman V which won’t be sold I bet

And there’s no unreleased tanks I’m interested in rn

[blissful cave]

Oh wait hold on there is one and that’s if they put Lekpz 70 for sale that tank hasn’t come for sale yet and I do want that one

And I guess also if there’s tanks that I’m thinking of restoring and if they come for sale cheaper than their restoration price like Bisonte and VK 168

[sour bane]

well i got so lucky with the 100k gold stuff, i had also spent money and made gold from draws and went from my flat out hacked acc with most of my stuff sold to 11 tier X bought back and like 10 tier VIIIs but also 6 tier IXs... I'll have to restore caliban, t22 med, 268v4 and probably 1-2 other tier VIIIs now xd

[blissful cave]

268/4 is one that like I would keep it if I got it again but don’t really want it enough to spend a lot of gold for it
Like there’s tanks that I kinda want that if I got it from a crate again I wouldn’t sell it this time but not enough to pay to restore them

I’m buying back a bunch of tech tree tanks and having fun with a lot of them like IS-8 and Nashorn are tanks I started to really like so I got little models of em from this one store that has wot stuff in Helsinki I don’t get to go there often

idk what you mean but generally for new players, its recommended to start with the E 100, 60 TP or IS-7. Strong armour, quite some HP so its more forgiving. Unless you came from wot pc

Found out the BP gives free tokens and assume all BPs do
If one BP gets 6 (current one does) then it only needs 2 for a Tier IX premium

[nocturne mirage]

heesh...

[safe acorn]

WoTB it's been like 13 BPs or something and got nothin

god to have all my WoTB prems on WoT

[nocturne mirage]

umm...pls no, some of these "premiums" are fakes, but not realistic and possible fakes, really fake without question and stupid, I saw some nitro power using tanks at times, I have no clue what they are, some premiums sure from wotb, all...hell na

[safe acorn]

What the Turbo mechanic?
Yeah if they have a gas turbine engine then they'll have it?

It's evident

[nocturne mirage]

so thats actually viable, that was a thing?????

[safe acorn]

CS-63 and Char Mle 75 has it?

Also what's wrong with having premiums if it makes the game bearable
I wouldn't go to a comic store looking for Mein Kampf now would I?

[nocturne mirage]

holy moly, you mean the IS-7 would have that capability too, since it DID have a gas turbine engine, no wait it had a ship engine

[safe acorn]

IS-7 never had a turbo mechanic
Wrong tank you're looking at I presume

[nocturne mirage]

confused it had a ship engine, naval diesel thats the one, naval diesel engine

[safe acorn]

Still I want a few good ones

[nocturne mirage]

well alright I guess, even the retded ones, like fake as hell stuff

[safe acorn]

Surprisingly Arnold Schwarzenegger has a 90% real tank in WoT

[normal forge]

arnold is also about 90% real so why not

[crude ivy]

he is the tank😅

[safe acorn]

Yeah that 10% is definitely a titanium skeleton

[normal forge]

i would kill for that

[safe acorn]

Designed to infiltrate humanity's top command

[nocturne mirage]

he is not, being a tank means natural, he takes roids, I have done my 2 and a half years only creatine, aka the most natural clean way to aid in growth

roids is hounestly a shamble for growth, hard work througn sweat and yelling is the way

[safe acorn]

You work out?

[nocturne mirage]

uh ye?

got to stay healthy, since the meal of the day for protein is dust 😂

[sacred epoch]

Look what I found

[nocturne mirage]

wow, tiger-maus, quick @blissful cave @safe acorn search up this concept if it was a thing

[blissful cave]

I know what it is

[safe acorn]

Already knew that

[blissful cave]

From what i remember I think it’s the first draft idea for E-100 before it became its own thing

[nocturne mirage]

cool

[blissful cave]

Wait no I think it was its own separate concept but was cancelled and then the idea came back when making E-100

I made a tank of the day post on it but don’t remember what I wrote

[nocturne mirage]

"huhhuhuhuhuh E100 looks stronk huhuhuh 🤤. its a joke 😂

[safe acorn]

Yeah because they thought the hull could handle the weight

It didn't which lead to a rethink with the consideration of a new turret(hence the boxy e-100 Turm)

[nocturne mirage]

well thats cool

[safe acorn]

Ngl I can't sleep
I wanna play more WoT but damn idk about the teams

[nocturne mirage]

ahhah, very relatable, sleeping means no crew abilities unlocked lol

while no sleeping means level 4 crew skills unlocked at the very least

[safe acorn]

Brother I just want a useable gun for the Comet

Was barely able to work with the 75mm HV at Tier VI and now I have to face Tier VIII with it

[nocturne mirage]

ready? get set? go bankrupt

[safe acorn]

Teammates with 15k battles and they're all bloody useless

Literally playing with the deficient and people who can't think straight

[blissful cave]

And then seeing a stock destiny with only 59 total battles actually being useful and being 2nd best damage

[safe acorn]

Yeah I think any russian tank game is going to give me 2 days of fun and 2 years of break

Guess the only fun way with tanks is to actually work with one

It's not like any ex-tank crew member would make a game anyways

Every goddamn day feels like a job playing the damn games rather than something to look forward to

[safe acorn]

@blissful cave yehp WoT somehow has teams who allow opponents to cap easy

This is so a--

[nocturne mirage]

the day that happens, is the day we have freedom everywhere, info wont be seen as threatening, because it can no longer harm

[safe acorn]

WG is cruel

Last 2 matches of the night got me both missions for the Operations, so 2 more until I'm done with the medium tank missions for the Stug IV

The false hope to continue in the afternoon

[sour bane]

yeah also it was 120t

[safe acorn]

@nocturne mirage I'm actually surprised that they gave the Panther armor in WoT

Although that's to say it's a good tank in a bad line

[sour bane]

anything in wot has no armor unless its a tier VIII xmas premium

[safe acorn]

Yeah that's if you think people won't shoot gold and you don't position right

[nocturne mirage]

gold pens all, I think gold should be taken out entirely and just allow for Tanks with standard AP and HE, it forces you to find alternative routes or tactics, and the enemy

[tulip steppe]

forcing them to fire prammo is the penalty by lowering their dpm

[safe acorn]

Again not every tank is countered by pure gold alone

Like a hull-down Canopener or Cent AX, once using some slight depression the turrets are very strong

[nocturne mirage]

that doesnt help you when no matter what you do, you get penetrated, it sucks more when the tank firing gold is insane accurate, in short you do whatever, and its pen after pen, damage after damage

[nocturne mirage]

I think the best course of action is TO GIVE historical data of penetration based on range for wot, that will fix everything, range and angle

[tulip steppe]

guess it depends what vehicle you're in and what you're up against, only HT and some tds should be able to bounce sone prammo

[safe acorn]

Ah yes

Literally doesn't, at that point you're giving some MTs and HTs access to APFSDS levels of pen and angle coefficients because they do have those rounds

[nocturne mirage]

I dont think the penetration was that ubsurd tho, thatb youd be screwed regardless, especially on angles of attack

[safe acorn]

Man that's what APFSDS is known for

Why'd ya think the top of the Abrams's front plate is angled to 70°

[tulip steppe]

i'll give you that the calibrated shell pen bonus is too much imo

[nocturne mirage]

ahha okay okay

[safe acorn]

Just position on a ridgeline proper and I think you should be fine

That or wiggle back and forth

[nocturne mirage]

<@&481447501690568709>

[wary summit]

Giving the Cold War gang their APFSDS would be a bit too foolhardy

Good luck to 90% of the German tech tree

[blissful cave]

Hoping that reforged moving the tier system down means we’ll get tier 11
Seeing at least the prototypes of the modern MBT’s as level 8 (tier 11) would be really cool

[wary summit]

Stares inside tier 11 void
M60A1 stares back

[valid gale]

Maus was invincible to any conventional AT gun developed during WW2 and the decade after ww2 and all of a sudden it became literally a slab of butter in the 1960s

[valid gale]

Heavies go extinct, mediums butter through everything

[lyric oriole]

We had that in blitz once upon a time, and I want it back

[brisk yoke]

Fr

[wary summit]

Just as god intended tbh

[royal elbow]

the Kv 2 it has good pen?

[wary summit]

If it isn't the 107mm gun, no it doesn't

[royal elbow]

I thought the kv 2 has 152 mm howardson

[wary summit]

It has 3 guns

The useless 122mm
The famous 152mm
The overpen 107mm

[worldly knot]

Hey guys do you think the t28 was worth it?

It feels really nice to play and I’m averaging about 2.5k damage on it so far

[sacred epoch]

has some insane frontal armour if you are going against clueless people

but the two turrets things on the side and the lower plate are weak spots if you load prem shells

[worldly knot]

Should I angle it or do I just go head on? Sorry for the dumb questions

[potent jolt]

Angle, gives one less weak spot.

[worldly knot]

Thanks fellas 🙏

[nocturne mirage]

yes exactly, well alright then

[royal elbow]

fr?

[safe acorn]

That's crazy
So free Tier VI tank for completing the Tank academy halfway

[gritty charm]

tips for 183?

[worldly knot]

I’m not as experienced as others but what I’ve heard in YouTube videos and from more experienced friends is to play in some cover and try to not get spotted since you got no armor and no mobility

[safe acorn]

Nuke someone and then get nuked

[crude ivy]

🤣

[gritty charm]

ok thanks

[twilit coral]

I hate the Destiny because it downside is that noobs can easily get to high Tier. You have like 3 Destiny's on you're team and you know that you lose the game.

[lucid forge]

Hello Guys, I have a question. I don't have these resources to unlock tank parts. Is there any way to get it?

[raw ember]

No

[blissful cave]

No, the event for it is over but wargaming does re release season currency but at an insanely expensive price but since you’re only missing 4 modules it shouldn’t be that bad you’d just need to wait for when they do but since that’s a season 3 tank they’ll re release those next

[lucid forge]

thank you

[safe acorn]

Man what's the use of positioning when 14 others don't do that

Average EU 30%er visiting Asia's playerbase for the first time

Can't believe 4 Tiger 131s lost to 2 Churchill VII

We play in a different world

[nocturne mirage]

🥳, thats one historical tank to my collection, ww2 tank, also now my IS-2 tank collection is complete, IS-2 berlin model 1944 and IS-2 bed spring modification model 1944

[nocturne mirage]

well thats 152mm of frontal armour for a gun that can only penetrate around 121mm of armour and this is out to around 500m......for wot, well doi🤤 every tank is cuckoo crazy

[safe acorn]

Mfw playing with their frontal lobes unavailable since Steppes is an easy map for Tiger to play it

[toxic fulcrum]

Tier 5 needs a complete rework, make the tanks actually unique instead of having 90% of them be 160 damage armorless slow copy-paste trash

[blissful cave]

The massive gap between tier 5 and 6 needs to be fixed too to me it feels like the biggest difference between tiers especially in HP

[safe acorn]

They needa find a way to make the progress to Tier X much longer

But oh no WG can't do that because they need to make at least 20 more Tier X collectors in loot crates to feed FOMO

[blissful cave]

I wish they’d actually spend more effort to make tiers below 7 more fun
I absolutely love low and mid tier and play them a lot too
Sandboxes made low tier fun all the unique playstyle tanks were all locked behind the unobtainable 5.5 wall until sandboxes made them available again

And even when I finally got Sherman Jumbo recently I’m having SO much fun in this tank I’ve never seen anything like it in tier 6 a medium tank with better frontal armor than heavies?! Insanely fun and having only a mid Sherman gun and having heavy mobility feels balanced

[dapper violet]

Tier 5 and below basically don’t exist

[blissful cave]

Imagine if they actually came up with cool new tanks to add to low and mid tier
Tanks with new play styles or play styles only seen on a higher tier tank would be really interesting
But my favorite part would be getting really interesting historic tanks obscure WW2 tanks and all that

[dapper violet]

This game doesn’t have a low tier basically, it functionally goes from 7-10

[safe acorn]

Imagine an actually fun tank experience
Literally The One Piece

[blissful cave]

It does I play it all the time for fun
And what I LITERALLY just said was it’d be cool if they added new content or rebalanced the low mid tiers to make them just as fun as 8-10

[dapper violet]

Sadly WG does not giveth, only taketh away (due to how wot hp scaling works, low tier is literally dead)

[blissful cave]

Wargaming please just give me BT-42 already

https://tenor.com/view/jeonqmi-monkey-escape-gif-21816255

[dapper violet]

Go visit the snail

Gaijin games may be incredibly lame and horrendous, but their low tier spread is kinda nice

[blissful cave]

I did he told me to buy premium

[dapper violet]

Isn’t the bt-42 rank I

[blissful cave]

(Jokes aside I can’t play war Thunder I don’t have a computer)

[dapper violet]

There’s… technically a game…

It’s not good at all though

[blissful cave]

I have girls und panzer game on switch yes
It doesn’t play that well it’s controls are pretty bad having wotb for comparison

[safe acorn]

There's an alternative
Actually grind your health and physique to sign up for the military

Because at least you're paid to be around tanks

[dapper violet]

Gameplay is horrible

[safe acorn]

Nuh uh

You actually have comms

And better chat environment because a corpse can't be toxic after death

[dapper violet]

I mean gameplay, the gameplay is warthunder style gameplay

Boring

Also permadeath is an awful mechanic and should be removed

[safe acorn]

War Thunder is actually more spontaneous than IRL

Life throws you a technical, respond with 120mm HEAT

And the thing about WoT and WT is that I'll never recommend it to another person, enthusiast or not

Actually save them and have a life

[blissful cave]

For me wotb has a nice chat environment (none at all, switch has zero communication between players)

[royal elbow]

Should I go for the T34 tank or the Kv-2 tank?

[lyric heron]

What are the best prems to aim for in the auction?

[karmic plover]

Depends on your class preference (HT vs MT vs LT vs TD) and playstyle.

[wary summit]

T-34 for sure

[normal forge]

Mig-23Ml

[royal elbow]

I already researched the T-34

[royal elbow]

Oh I see I’m in someone’s platoon fr fr

[royal elbow]

I see

[safe acorn]

The ML sucks tho
Not as good as the pre-nerf flight model

[nocturne mirage]

holy......moly...wolly when in blitz? 😂

yooooooo, talk about a light tank

[safe acorn]

Its a TD
Found out about the Ontos huh

[nocturne mirage]

this is rather funny lol

[safe acorn]

Close enough

[normal forge]

Its still fairly good. Flight model nerf sucks but doesnt matter at that br anyway

[safe acorn]

Ain't like F-4S users know how to dogfight anyways

[normal forge]

Aint like they could with those bricks

[safe acorn]

It's surprisingly maneuverable (for like a few turns)

[normal forge]

Thats what I say about my su33 too when I’m trying to not be mad after flying my EF beforehand

[safe acorn]

Isn't the Su-33 like already really bad for its flight model (like recent russian jets anyways)

They couldn't live with the Su-30M being good as well so they nerfed it's flight model

[upbeat knoll]

T25 AT on Big Boss? how good is it?

Leopard on Big Boss? How good is this? (asking these two because i played them the other day and wanted to know how people rated them on the scale of "how good?")

[safe acorn]

Big Boss mentioned

[midnight nexus]

Is t54e2 good for face hugging

[honest creek]

Just slightly above average since once the both of you stopped the enemy may aim for the cupola, especially when you’re the shorter tank

[nocturne mirage]

holy moly the jagdtiger had a frontal upper plate of 250mm thick!? so the tiger II was 150mm at base thickness angled at 50 degrees...the jagdtiger has actually 250!! at base?

wow, what a beast

[safe acorn]

Uh you reading off the flat plate off of the super structure?

[nocturne mirage]

yes. the tiger II was 150mm, mate the jagd 250..insanity

[safe acorn]

It's just that bare flat plate
The hull remains unchanged

[nocturne mirage]

250 for the front upper plate, jagdtiger, tiger II 150mm..thats nuts, tiger II at 50 degrees, jagdtiger at 15 they say here

just the mere fact that the inclination is 15 degrees says a lot lol 😂 on how much they were pushing it lol

apologies foir the nazi symbol <@&481447501690568709>, still a problem? I will censor quickly

[lyric oriole]

No need to ping us, just censor it in the future

[nocturne mirage]

apologies

[lyric oriole]

All good

[safe acorn]

Would be outdated with APDS in the "short" run

[nocturne mirage]

so frustrating building tanks it must be

but I guess uranium armor evens it out?

[nocturne mirage]

I wonder why they cant make like an armoured box like deisgn which is jello inside and as the round penetrated the armoured box, the round and or its spall is met with a jello substance which effectively stops it, but this jello is so thick, leakage cant occur even when it is exposed entirely due to this metal initially covering it being blown off, the issue can arrize with temperature and weather, has anything similar been thought of before?

basically think of how tanks are now, but the armour you see isnt solid from point a to b, from point a to s section the jello is contained, effectively making it hollow inside, but the jello is in the hollow bit, yet the armour layout is the same

jus picture any tank, how you see it is how its armour seems to be, but there is a jello like substance inside the armour steel slab

[safe acorn]

What using ballistic gel as a composite?

[nocturne mirage]

yes I guess... something thats like very quick in stopping moving objects like a shell or spall, which a good tough jelly like substance does rather well

[safe acorn]

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0266353821005467

Well whaddya know albeit only for personnel use

[nocturne mirage]

haha see my brain isnt as dumb as people thought], admit it it can make sense

[safe acorn]

Who the hell's calling you dumb th?

[nocturne mirage]

no for my next question......was there any designs on a shell of a tank that can be fired, but the rear end of the metal piece (so the actual piercing warhead) would after being shot if given sufficient time, have a small detonater and detonate mid flight to further bolster its ballistic speed?

[nocturne mirage]

many...many many and childish and unrealistic with smirks on their faces

[safe acorn]

Well that was what the T-30s fin missile projectile was like

Primitive APFSDS round boosted to high velocities by a rocket

[nocturne mirage]

ah cool to know, but here you have a detonation con tained in a containment unit but the center has a small opening to release som e of that pressure but the direction its released is rearward, effectively aiding in speed, wonder if this was done, it seems it could not make accuracy go to hell

[safe acorn]

Thing is at that point why not start making a railgun

[nocturne mirage]

which so happens to be made now, I think it shoots a very thin metal piece which goes crazy fast? this was back in 2015? believe

[safe acorn]

Shoots a slug that goes fast

[nocturne mirage]

ye see, but anyways me and my crazy thoughts, bye

[normal forge]

it bleeds a lot of energy yea

[normal forge]

it will still dominate though

[safe acorn]

Gaijin: this jet will prove to be the perfect arsenal for the Russian mains at top tier

Gaijin: nerfs it to the ground before launch

Repeat

[normal forge]

my first message is about the su33, the su30 doesnt bleed that much

[safe acorn]

Is worse than the original flight model

[normal forge]

still better than anything russia has right now and the improved r77-1 and thrust vectoring will finally make russia competetive again

im rn grinding russia on my second account as well and oh boy, doing it with the premium 9.7 mig21 instead of the mig23ml was so much worse

at least my su33 on my second account has a talisman so top tier is somewhat okay to grind

[safe acorn]

China somewhat was pretty goated
I mean the J-7D at least

Been through all the recent changes it got and it still is a very nice vehicle

[normal forge]

did they change it after lowering its br? Since then its broken

[safe acorn]

Was 11.0 for a long time and then 10.7
Both BRs still felt really good to play in

[normal forge]

yeah I know its lowered to 10.7
any chances since then?

[safe acorn]

Haven't bothered with the game since 2 major updates ago

[normal forge]

ah sad! Its so much fun (when having rafale or EF)

[safe acorn]

Will I ever..? Probably not
Considering to get a yoke and throttle to play DCS

[normal forge]

china still goated

[safe acorn]

Man reading J-7Ds profile on the DCS forums (since guys there are more passionate)

I wouldn't mind them pulling J-7D up to 11.0-11.3 if they gave its PL-8 missile

[normal forge]

lowest jet has a br of 12.3 with pl8 if im not mistaken so meh

^JH-7A btw

Hyped for the J11B btw, hope they make it decent at least

[safe acorn]

PL-8 = Python 3 since they're direct copies

F-5E FCU is the lowest at 11.3 and then next is the Kfir C.2 at 11.7 so maybe bring it to 11.7

[safe acorn]

Russia says China can't make their flankers

China proceeds to make better flankers

Russian air force generals asked to have an icy vacation

[normal forge]

ik pl8 are python 3 but you specified the pl8. While the f5e fcu has python 3 I think it is too low br wise. Not only has it great df capabilities but also these insanely good missiles. In comparison, the j7d also has really good df capabilities but gaijin lowered its br because of the rear aspect only missiles (it was already good at 11.0). If they would give the j7d the pl8 they would have to move it to 11.7 at least

[safe acorn]

Yeah that's what I said

Maybe 11.7

[normal forge]

Russia 😂 cucked in top tier since 13.7 came out

[safe acorn]

But the bigger win is the J35XS

Went from fighting against Mirage F1Cs to fighting Mig-19s

have the draken and also Viggen at 13.0 (grinded whole sweden tree in 2 days)

When I grinded sweden the draken was still so bad that I bought the viggen just for gaijin to buff the draken few days later

Well...
Level 5 Poison shot gets you around 15 seconds

And by then your gun's reload is around 3 seconds to 2s

[unique shore]

obj 590, 907, v4, vickers mbt

[twin totem]

The Progg 46 is a very fun tank, it’s got good damage but lower armor.
The Bourrasque would take speed learning a different playstyle, because the tank has 2 shells, 2 sec interclip, 300 average damage, and around an 18 sec mag reload. But it’s quite fun. (Coming from somebody who ranked it to 50)

[worn canyon]

Type 57, chrysler k,forrest witch,k91, 907,xm66f all must buy cause they all solid tanks, I'll add 452k too cause I find it lovely (people here hate it)

[twin totem]

Just realised I had the thingys swapped, so I answered the question wrong lol

[warped egret]

I find the kpz50t similar to 907.why do u think it is better?
Why would you say type57 is better than 252u?

[unique shore]

kpz is just another normal tank, only thing that makes it special or somewhat scary is having adren and tung active

[ripe totem]

Type has access to the reticle calibration consumable and has far more gun depression. This makes it more reliable/versatile so long as you don’t force any 1v1 brawls

That being said, since you have the t77, all other t8 heavies are basically irrelevant meta wise

[worn canyon]

I never said that, I just gave opinion that they are great ones, but since you ask I personally prefer kpz more simply cause when I need to kill fast or 1v1 kpz can get more than 4k dpm with tungsten+adr.....and I prefer type over 252u cause retic cali also if you like 252u try k2 it's better

[worn canyon]

Although t8 has so many unique heavies it's better getting them all as each has one or the other unique features

[warped egret]

😍

[ripe totem]

I don’t fall into that camp. I just need the best performers. Why waste money on a similar yank that is inferior other than for collection purposes

Id just get a 590, 907 and maybe the xm

[warped egret]

What site you use for stats? Blitzkit or blitz stars?

[worn canyon]

You do you...I'm more of a collector, if a tank has even a slightly unique or different feature be it even just it's looks I'm gonna get it,with grinded gold of course never spend real money

[ripe totem]

I’ve been f2p for over a decade, and I’m not going to be able to save 15k+ gold for a tier 10 collector lmao

[worn canyon]

Takes patience to not spend on draws lol I have bought about 7 t10 collectors alone over the last year not to mentions tons of t7-9s

[ripe totem]

Huh

https://blitzanalysiz.com/

[cinder nova]

Grind maus it's armor is better than e100

[raw ember]

No
Maus armor is terrible

[ripe totem]

They’re both garbage though what you mean😭 at least you don’t get penned in the cheeks by standard rounds in the e100

[cinder nova]

Bro I use e100 it tracks are exposed

[raw ember]

E100 with the 12.8cm is actually quite good

[warped egret]

I have seen the graphs on some videos and I didnt know where to find them. THX

[worn canyon]

E100 got big gun so more fun

[ripe totem]

Ye, especially if you get it to work with rammer

[cinder nova]

Guys which tier 8 tank is best for rating

[warped egret]

Imo Kran, 60tp, wz td if u into that, sheredain is fun but hard

[worn canyon]

No single good answer...unlike t10

[cinder nova]

Why

[raw ember]

T77, 53tp, emil 2, smv 64, prog 46, chimera, borrasque

[worn canyon]

Everything from k2 to bourrasque to t77 to m4 yoh to emil 1951 to lowe works

[cinder nova]

Bro emil 2 is tier 9 tank

[raw ember]

Emil 1 my bad

[raw ember]

Sheridan is quite easy to play tbh

[cinder nova]

Bro I didn't need premium tank

[ripe totem]

Why drive an Emil when the t77 exists💀

[raw ember]

T77 is better, but emil 1 is free and still good

[cinder nova]

T77 is heavy tank

[ripe totem]

Is the Emil not a heavy 😮‍💨

[warped egret]

He said that hes begginer and I dont like new players yoloing

[cinder nova]

I am asking it is or not

[ripe totem]

Oh, then add a question mark or else it appears like a statement 😭 yes, they are both heavies

[cinder nova]

Sorry my bad

T77 is premium tank?

[ripe totem]

Yes, it is indeed a premium

[cinder nova]

It is available in store now

[ripe totem]

Idk, as a f2p I’m too broke to bother checking the store 💀

[cinder nova]

And which tier 9 tank is best for rating

[ripe totem]

Which ever tank you perform the best In

[cinder nova]

Which one you use

[violet timber]

The best tank for ratings at any tier is the one you’re most comfortable with

[ripe totem]

I don’t play ratings lmao, but my best performing t9 rn is the is8

[sage galleon]

Is foch 155 good?

[warped egret]

Wz td is better imo

[raw ember]

Nah wz is still good but foch is insane

[nocturne mirage]

wow Pz IV ausf D had -11 degrees gun depression....what up in blitz then lol

must have been trickier in north aftrica than previously thought since it could use some of those dunes

[nocturne mirage]

good to see something new I never saw, so instead of the panzer 1 chassis Bison SP 150mm gun, this is the same gun, but on the panzer II, but more curious is the fact is would appear to allow for indirect fire, more specifically like an artillary piece. bison from what I am aware, could not elevate the gun to such ridiculous hights, super cool

dont think this little bugger is in wot pc either, maybe a good thing for low tier artillary not to have haha

[violet timber]

Bison could elevate to +75 degrees, it was a self propelled artillery piece after all

[nocturne mirage]

thanks didnt know

[vagrant topaz]

ok but how unbelievably trash is the stb turret

[violet timber]

🧐

[lyric heron]

How’s the badger in the current meta?

[safe acorn]

You only heard about the Sturmpanzer II now?

[violet timber]

Not great

[zenith shadow]

need this in fortblitz

[ashen crown]

Wait you’ve never heard of the Sturmpanzer 2?

[safe acorn]

Guess its time to open your mindspace

Took you awhile

[safe acorn]

Man learning new things about APFSDS

[safe acorn]

M774 is actually strong enough to deal with T-80Bs armor

Uh no M774 is a cold war round
T-90A came out after

Cold War ERA are different to post-war considering they only affect chemical based rounds

Kontakt-1 and Blazer ERA will not affect the performance of rod rounds

T-90 can equip the Kontakt-5 which has better chemical protection and now protection against kinetic rounds

Trust, you can't stay contained for WW2 for long when the world develops itself to be more

Insane

yeah since you avoid other special types of vehicles

Well I hope it really is

Wait is this a picture or some source material

[deep belfry]

Waiter, waiter! More fake Panzerwaffe tanks, please

[safe acorn]

Waiter waiter
More Tier VIII premiums please

[deep belfry]

they are scraping the barrel atp

TVP 50/51 looking tank with a double cannon

[safe acorn]

I mean I'm not against them doing this (nothing's stopping them to)

I'm more concerned about it being Tier VIII

Like they've just released a couple a few days ago and they're planning to make a premium version of the Conceiver

[deep belfry]

Already?

[wary summit]

88mm gun dealing 100mm damage?

Preposterous

[deep belfry]

Wunderwaffe engineering for you

[safe acorn]

Would have to
Conceiver is using a dual 32 pounder at Tier VIII
Tank wouldn't be appealing to get if it has lesser alpha

The problem of WoT isn't the this historical accuracy of the game (barely affects the majority of the playerbase)

Problem lies with how they're managing the addition of tanks

Like man, give it a rest with the Tier VIIIs and the Tier Xs

[mighty cobalt]

Should i restore my Somua Sm or Strv 81?

[safe acorn]

Strv 81 is the better choice

[wary summit]

PC's next BP seems to be a collab with the hit series Peaky Blinders

[mighty cobalt]

Alright, thanks

[wary summit]

The tank used looks like the Project Murat? (Quad tracks & 20mm coax) while styled to look like the Rolls-Royce Armoured car

[royal elbow]

[covert thicket]

Sixth battle third at damage 2249 WIN

[covert thicket]

Yes i see. Very bad tank.

I sold it. I have 3869 golds. Wait auctions or gambling. Which better

[safe acorn]

Eventually everyone will have one
Meta wins always

[violet timber]

Quite good

[covert thicket]

There must be better tanks. I sold it. I dont like it really.

[ripe totem]

Ain't No way bro is posting post game report for every game 💀

[safe acorn]

In all honesty only the Defender Mk 1 and probably the T28 Defender are good

[covert thicket]

You see my wins were easy battles. I dont efforr much. My lost was epic gameplay. 😄

[violet timber]

Unfortunate. You may not like it but it is quite good

[ripe totem]

What's so special about it

[covert thicket]

Waiting so much reload. I feel asleep this tank.

[ripe totem]

Whole gimmick is a 3 shot autoloader with like... Almost 8 second intraclip

[violet timber]

It’s got quite a good armor profile, and has a 122 with what’s essentially a 7 second reload for 3 shots allowing you to out dpm or out trade any other 122 before getting back into cover

[ripe totem]

Yeah but the clip reload is pretty long right? This ain't the stalker yoh we talking about here... That thing can quickly reload on the fly when relocating, This can't

[covert thicket]

premium progetto loader good.

[safe acorn]

It's got 225mm of pen APCR standard so lesser effective pen overall
Hull can basically be penetrated by regular AP rounds of 225mm of pen

[ripe totem]

We're talking about a 22 second clip reload 💀

[sullen abyss]

I couldn’t get the IS-3D because the time it first appeared I was in middle school and had a bed time 💀

[safe acorn]

Just load gold and slap it around

[violet timber]

Even better trades for the IS-3D 🤷‍♂️

[safe acorn]

Man you are not trading anything with 1900 DPM standard with vents

[violet timber]

You are tho since you outreload any other 122 at the tier with your clip reloaded

Trading isn’t an issue of dpm, but of alpha/burst, something the IS-3D does quite well

[ripe totem]

And a normal player wont just stay in the open and have a reload duel with you 💀

[violet timber]

So the enemy is scared to peek you, allowing your team to take more map control. Win win.

[sullen abyss]

Read the part where he said scared

[raw ember]

Meh tank

[covert thicket]

Can i buy nice tank on auctions? I have 3869 golds.

[violet timber]

Probably not

It would’ve been better for you to have just kept the IS-3D

[covert thicket]

Long time reloading.

[safe acorn]

The only good thing about the IS-3D is the prammo and the mobility (really standard with IS units)

Other than that 37.5s total reload with intraclip to get 1200 potential damage with average dispersion and same slow soviet aim time

[violet timber]

It’s armor is quite good

[safe acorn]

Hull doesn't exist on flat ground and it's manageable with prammo when on full depression

Turret is your standard IS-3 turret but I think the 30mm hatch plate still exists since it's the old model

In all honesty just get the M-4Y

[violet timber]

It’s hull is pretty good lmao, it got buffed so the whole upper plate is the strength of the extra panels

The side has been turned into a black hole as well to the point they even some prammo is unreliable

[safe acorn]

Still just get the M-4Y
Similar gun with higher accuracy and same clip potential, just for one more round in the chamber

And still it gets more DPM and alright armor with more health and similar mobility

[violet timber]

That doesn’t make the IS-3D bad

[safe acorn]

But it does make the IS-3D less worth your time

Hell just play the regular IS-3, what could go wrong

[ruby basin]

should i go for rare tanks during auction (such as souleater) or obj 777? i have like 20k gold
context: i have a LOT of tanks, only missing a few that i want

[solid gate]

Go for what you like. If you want half of the ops to quit cuz theyve never seen anything like a souleater, and you generally like rare and creatively modelled fantasy tanks, go for it.

If you re really sweaty and know all about tanks, and love sov tanks, i guess Obj 777 is your tank.

[ruby basin]

i mostly like the ERA skin haha

i have most sweaty tanks alrdy

[solid gate]

Obj 777 has massive tracks though, youll have to utilize Groundtank like Playstyle, though it has great armour everywhere except at angle hideable spots 📐

Go for the Obj 777 in my opinion.

[ruby basin]

hmm kk ty

does it go on sale semi-often ish or is it a rare sight?

im missing so few tanks that i dont mind waiting a few months tbh

[solid gate]

Ive never seen a Obj 777 ever, but this is basically my opinion.

Obj 777 is classy, while Souleater is just purple spikes and unnecessarily flashy.

If you have a choice between
classy and flashy bell but no bite stuff, id choose realistic and classy.

[robust orchid]

777 II is basically an IS-4 on steroids- including its tendency to turret toss with how fragile its racks are from my experience

That aside, do y'all run calibrated shells or vents on the T57?

[wary summit]

CS

I love overpen

[violet timber]

Literally just a T-72

[blissful cave]

That camo is the main thing about 777 without it I don’t think anyone would really care about it much
Best legendary camo in the game I think

There’s no point in playing 777 without the legendary camo it needs to have it

[normal forge]

strv k camo better

[blissful cave]

Yea true

Somewhat related but dang I frickn love cardboard tiger II that’s also one of my favorites now, best camos are always the realistic modern tank looking ones like Strv K, 777, 114SP, 60TP, Sheridan wave breaker and stuff like that

[thin tendon]

When bmps

[safe acorn]

When the Tesak joins

[safe acorn]

We need the Swedish Tiger II camo

Yes and yes

[thin tendon]

Imagine bmps and bmds joined the game

[safe acorn]

Brother you have recommended something I've been eyeing on for years

Been planning to buy the F-4 pack together with a good HOTAS set
Would buy it on sale, after my internship money kicks in

Thanks g

That said, does the build also apply for the Tier VIII T77?

[covert thicket]

dont buy is 3 defender for 7500 golds. there is better tanks.

[robust orchid]

The only good IS vehicles are the IS-2 Shld, ISU-152, and IS-7 imo

[blissful cave]

I wish they’d sync the two versions
Pc doesn’t have tiger 1, Sherman, Hetzer or IS-2
And blitz doesn’t have tiger II, BT-42 or Churchill
I need all of em

*under the assumption blitz won’t get Churchill because there’s nothing leaked of testing or anything if they planned it we’d probably know something
Maybe they could surprise us because I doubt it requires any testing if it’d be a reskin of tech tree Churchill

[safe acorn]

Aye the regular Churchill is strong

[blissful cave]

Yea ik I’m just saying GuP Churchill wouldn’t need to be balance tested if it’s just the same stats as it

[violet timber]

DCS is amazing, the biggest issue is the devs kind of do what they want in terms of flight models

Yes, but most flight models are still quite inaccurate

The F-16 is known to outrate an F-18 in almost every scenario, and yet it doesn’t happen at all in DCS because the devs refuse to use public knowledge they don’t like

Because it would make their game more accurate

Don’t get me started on the F-35, it’s so bad right now they might as well not even add it if they’re going to keep it like it is

Except actual pilots also say how inaccurate a lot of the flight models are

Oh don’t worry, we use DCS here as well, it’s relatively accurate for most things. They just need to fix a lot of the flight models for it to actually be considered accurate

Not quite, but as close as one can be without actually being one

I talk to pilots on the regular, we talk amongst ourselves, and you can go online and figure most of it out (the devs haven’t learned this yet)

I am at my country’s Air Force academy, right now I’m on track to be a weapon system officer, but I could track into pilot if I so desired

Except there is public information available that says the flight models are inaccurate, but the devs refuse to use it

Yes, it is

The F-16 will out rate the F-18. That is a known fact. Yet, in game, the F-18 is the rate king

[safe acorn]

Doesn't seem so in its reviews
People don't seem to point that out

[violet timber]

Mirage is inaccurate, SU-27 is inaccurate, F-14 is inaccurate, F-15C is inaccurate

[safe acorn]

The only similar complaint is how the F-18 can go beyond it's limited G using the override
But for stupidly long

[violet timber]

Right now the F-16 has one real option to dogfight an F-18 in game, and you have to hope they don’t know what you’re doing and that you don’t miss your first burst

[safe acorn]

But aye it's better than War Thunder
I'll accept a 90% copy over a 50% one

[violet timber]

War Thunder flight models make me want to cry

You’re free to doubt me, but they are inaccurate flight models

F-16 is the most egregious one though

[safe acorn]

Ngl idk whether to get the F-4 Phantom or Gripen
Really like those two

[violet timber]

Right now the gripen is just a mod so afaik you can get it for free

It’s also funny to me how SU-27 shows up as MiG-29 on rwr

Hey guys i have question is a good way to take BZ?

.

[split grove]

is there any sense to buy the progetto 46 in the auction ?

[normal forge]

Its one of the strongest t8 meds so yes

[split grove]

Ok, then could you please tell me if there is a point to buying it in the auction or grinding for it in the tech tree, and also what's the difference between the one i buy and grind for ? Sorry ... noob im a noob

[ruby basin]

any of these worth the restore cost?

[normal forge]

I would buy it in the auction if I was you, yes!

The differences can be seen here:

https://blitzkit.app/tools/compare/?tanks=897%2C2945

but overall its quite easy to say that the progetto is just better than the pantera in almost everything

[normal forge]

Not at all. If your fänrik is maxed then I guess but I’m assuming you didnt max it

[ruby basin]

progetto is better, but dont forget that its a premium... tech tree tanks dont make credits

I don't really like the T77 but judging that it gets HEAT, might as well go the same

[normal forge]

Hes just saying it because he likes tanks like that. Locust is not worth anything above 250 gold and especially not because you never get games at t3

[ruby basin]

yea in wotpc back in the days i used to like hopping into low tiers sometimes... here its impossible

[blissful cave]

I still play low tier often without issue
Idk what the exaggeration is a lot of people act like it takes 10 minutes to get into a game for me it’s usually no more than 2 it takes usually around 1 minute on average

i literally sat for 15min bro
whats ur battle count

[blissful cave]

[pliant path]

Only premiums and collector tanks will be in the auction. They will often earn more credits and/or may be unique. Some are also less often available for purchase with gold.

Tech tree tanks that you grind for will not be in the auction

[safe acorn]

Ngl it's nice for WoT to give their T-55A it's East German insignia

Idk about WoTB, and on a side note T-55A is pretty goated

I mean GHPC wise
I thought it would've used 3BM25 but nuh apparently not

[blissful cave]

Wot pc doesn’t have hybrid category so they put T-55A in German and M4 FL10 in French
Same with no Finnish category so they put BT-42 in German
Same with Hungarian tanks I think but neither game has that

m4fl10 makes sense as French tho they made it was just exported to and used by Egypt

[safe acorn]

T-55A has always been German
I think even in WoTB there's an icon for the half hybrid and half German icons

Blitz Devs lazy to redo all of their fictional hybrid icons at this point

[wary summit]

They'll shove the Hungarians down at the Italian tech tree most likely

Or the Chinese of they're funny

[blissful cave]

They should change Rudy to Polish since it was added before poland

But they’ve already shown they’re incapable of that (Strv 74a2 they changed the flag but never changed it’s functionality as a hybrid nation)
Doesn’t get their camos,provisions count for bp missions and counts as hybrid in your stats

[safe acorn]

But fr tho I hope GHPC adds the Chieftain or something

My glorious 3 round .50cal rangefinder

[raw ember]

50tp is ok, mbt is mid
But the kpz 70, and k91 are also good

[violet timber]

50TP proto is great

[raw ember]

You're right I just checked the stats

[safe acorn]

Yeah makes sense when you say 1930
Alot of countries tried to make their own tank and the designs were more to what crp could stick to the wall the longest

To be fair, I don't think the Czechs knew what tankettes were either

[safe acorn]

It's definitely a variant of the OG 38t tank
Since Czech made both the 38t and 35t

[safe acorn]

Ngl going to realistic tank combat and their modules

Holy cow is night vision devices quite the drawback

[normal forge]

Calling the 50tp prot ok and the mbt mid while saying kpz70 is good

U good?

[raw ember]

My new say is
50tp is very good (I didn't know it went 49)
Mbt is mid (cuz there are many better heavies)
And kp 70 has always been good

[normal forge]

50tp is great.
Mbt is good
Kpz70 is mid purely because of its gun

[split rover]

I just returned after ~ 2 years, how good is skoda t56? Game just offered me a deal of 6k5 gold for the tank, camo and other stuffs

It’s awful. Don’t buy it, the gun sucks and the armour doesn’t hold

[blissful cave]

[normal forge]

Its really solid. Gun has bad accuracy but slaps. Armor is really good. 6500 gold is an insanely good deal

[violet timber]

It’s one of the best offers available

[normal forge]

^also 640 HE alpha which is really good for a t8 heavy thats not HE dependent

[tall jewel]

kpz gun is good tho

[robust orchid]

Is the Super Hellcat worth keeping? Or should I sell it to gamble? save up for future offers?

[violet timber]

Keep it

[robust orchid]

So...keeping it. How about the Scout (Aufkl.) Panther?

[safe acorn]

It's Tier VII right?
Better than the SP I C if it is

[violet timber]

Also good

[robust orchid]

Damnit, how am I supposed to fuel my gambling addiction now?

[normal forge]

aufklärungs panther

the t7 vk28 with insane dpm you got from the free certificate

[violet timber]

Iirc it was a project for a scout vehicle based on a lightened panther chassis

[normal forge]

this i guess but with dpm gun

[violet timber]

So it was a lightened panther chassis with the Leopard (VK16) turret and 5cm gun, cancelled due to the 5cm being obsolete by the time it would’ve been produced

Thankfully it’s one of the only vehicles that’s old enough for WG to have a proper history section on

[surreal osprey]

Murat or rhm pzw which should I grind?
I’m good with both lt and mt

[potent jolt]

Please, tell me which line to go for, I’m furthest along in the FV 4005 line, but I’m well progressed in the E 100 line, Foch line, Fv 215b line. Tell me which is the fastest, because I need a tier ten 😭

[violet timber]

I think rhm pzw is generally better rn, but Murat is still good

Rhm pzw is sort of the “do it all” light tank while Murat is focused on burst damage with a low profile turret

[twin totem]

Pick your favorite one and grind it a bit in gamemodes like Uprising and Big Boss, and don’t worry about rushing to T10, if you don’t have like 4-8 T8 at least, there’s no real huge reason to push for a T10, you may lose a lot of possible time to learn from doing that, and in turn may let teammates down who could get quite upset.
My advice, take your time, pick your favorite and work on it, but don’t sacrifice playing other fun tanks/games just to get a T10

[potent jolt]

Thx

[potent jolt]

Just I was wanting one so I could do the the Quest tomorrow

[twin totem]

Ah, makes sense, I’d say just go with the one you are farthest in, because that could affect how long it takes by a good amount of playtime

Because one is powercrept, the other is a glorified meme tank

[worldly knot]

The annihilator got sold out in 30 sec in na lol

For t7 is kinda crazy ngl

Yup and honestly considering that it plays mostly t8 for 13k it’s not worth it

How am I ever gonna grind my t6 and t7s now

They’re selling anni crates in the store too 😂

[robust orchid]

Weegee hauling in the sales with the Anni crates and auctions

[worldly knot]

Making as much as possible before reforged

I wonder how fast the smasher will sell

😂

[blissful cave]

Everyone rushing to get annihilator within 3 seconds for 13k gold
Me when I randomly got it from a crate:

I watched it sell out in a second lmao

[worldly knot]

I didn’t even get to watch it the tanks didn’t appear in my auction and when I reopened they were gone 😭

[blissful cave]

I’m in the mood to play some of my little low tier tanks for fun and run a little experiment of queue times before loading into a game so far (for reference these are around ~3pm NA server) and I’ll update it as I go for few games
M2 medium-1:30
locust-0:56
Panzer 38t-0:30
T-46-1:58
Cruiser I-5:15 (ok this tier 2 took a bit)
Valentine IX-4:16 (same with this one, tier 3 seems to give me good queues tho)
Marder II-1:42

A funny little guy basically soviet locust

[safe acorn]

What up

That's crazy

All that for mid

Having the annihilator is the sole reason why Tiger I is goated

[blissful cave]

Yea what I said about queues usually taking no more than two minutes and on average around a minute is pretty true
Tier 3 is probably my favorite of low tier

Testing a tier 2 and 4 for this I got a 4 and 5 minute queue I should probably tests 2 and 4 more

[safe acorn]

Ngl I wonder if I returned to blitz and just grinded out my Tiger I and II battles again
Might get my entire skill back

Man I am dead afraid of touching my Leo 1 in regular battles

[safe acorn]

@blissful cave @nocturne mirage kinda sad how Neubahrfarhzeug, Independent and T-35 aren't Low Tier Heavies for the game

Hell even the T-100/SMK

[tiny garden]

Hi

[blissful cave]

Neubaufahrzeug is one of my favorite tanks of all time I wish it was here

[safe acorn]

Quirky giant fella

[tiny garden]

Can you tell me how to add a new country to World of Tanks Blitz?

[safe acorn]

What do you mean?
Like buy a new tank from a new country?

[tiny garden]

If only a new country with tanks could be added to WOT

[safe acorn]

Major updates release new tech trees
Wait for something to pop up

Besides it's not like a new country is needed/would make any difference

[tiny garden]

I would prefer Romania to get in, there are tanks from there that can get in.

[safe acorn]

Someone already proposed a tech tree for it
You gotta wait

[violet timber]

Romania doesn't have enough domestic tanks for a tech tree

[safe acorn]

It's WoT
Make stuff up

[tiny garden]

What has already been proposed is to put Romanian tanks

[safe acorn]

The worse thing that could happen is the 1% of the playerbase screaming about it being "unrealistic"

But then again it's been like more than a decade, still wanna bark at the wrong tree?

[tiny garden]

I think if they put a Romanian tank in, a powerful one would destroy many tanks.

[safe acorn]

What could potentially affect the tech tree (same goes for the other new ones)
Is either they become the new top meta tank or mimic the current top meta tank

[violet timber]

I wouldn't necessarily call any romanian tanks powerful

[tiny garden]

Do you want me to show you one?

[violet timber]

Sure

[safe acorn]

The TR-580 is pretty interesting
T-55 is already a decent platform to push off of

So make it move

Now that's where you get that bizarre idea to fit a Leopard 1s engine to an already franken T-55

[violet timber]

The biggest issue is that it wasn't produced till 1979, quite late for a design lacking in modern technology for the time

[safe acorn]

But considering we're placing them against the Maus and Obj 140

It'll hold up quite well

[tiny garden]

Nicolae Ceausescu's tank

[safe acorn]

That is definitely a soviet tank

[violet timber]

This is not romanian in origin

[tiny garden]

Not soviet It was a Romanian project that worked

[safe acorn]

[violet timber]

Uhhh no, there's no record of it ever being romanian. There's no records of the romanians ever actually using laser weapons.

[solid fractal]

I sincerely fail to see how can you consider the tank to be solid with a good armour. Especially when tanks like chimera exist along side with it.

[tiny garden]

My grandfather was there when Czechoslovakia was invaded and the Russians wanted to invade Romania too but they didn't succeed.

[safe acorn]

But I get why he sent that

Apparently the Szhatie is a folk legend for the Romanians

[solid fractal]

Was where if I may ask?

[tiny garden]

In the north of Romania, Maramureș or Botoșani

[safe acorn]

It's as much as of a legend to them as a school of marlin fishes invading Singapore

[tiny garden]

I hope everyone knows that the Soviets were stealing😅

[violet timber]

Fair, but I wouldn't use folklore in an online discussion personally

[safe acorn]

It's not his fault anyways

It's big enough for prior discussions elsewhere so best guess is there's more than a handful of Romanians who believe in the Szhatie being theirs

[violet timber]

This is a fair point, however, I'm struggling to find any real data on it to tell what tier it would fit (unless wg just made up random stats like they usually do)

The gun seems to be a copy of the soviet 100mms, but it's armor (on wikipedia at least) seems wildly inaccurate

[safe acorn]

https://tank-afv.com/coldwar/Romania/tr-77-580.php

Basically a basic rundown on the vehicle

[wary summit]

Unreliable ally moment

[tiny garden]

Tank Romanian:TR 800,TR85,TR125

[violet timber]

Well then I've been corrected, the armor on wikipedia is not in fact wildly inaccurate

[tiny garden]

There is also a Mareşal, but I think it is a copy of the Hetzer.

[safe acorn]

It's the other way around

[tiny garden]

The Hetzer is a copy of the Marshal😱😱

[safe acorn]

Yes apparently the Maresal was the original design
And somehow even more capable in an AT role

[tiny garden]

Too bad we only own the tank, the Soviets took it as war booty😔😔

[safe acorn]

Ngl it'll be really cool to have ANSYS or smth to simulate a shot on that 200mm plate

[tiny garden]

Don't even look at Wikipedia

[safe acorn]

Wym it's literally a fact that the front plate is 200mm

Different websites state the same thing

[tiny garden]

Is good

I hope they put Romania in WOT Blitz

[safe acorn]

Huh... Learned something new today
Romania has a legitimate tank industry/tank making capability

[tiny garden]

I had between the 1960s and 1990s😔😔

Rip Romanian industry tank

[safe acorn]

My guy as long as they're upgrading the TR-85 to what they want to
It's still legit

[tiny garden]

This is the only tank left in the country.

[safe acorn]

Unless your government is convinced and starts buying K2s

[wary summit]

Romania hopping from 2nd gen to 4th gen is pretty funny

"Wow, everything is computer"

[safe acorn]

Literally upgrading the starter gear in Monster Hunter to end game levels without ever changing

[safe acorn]

Dawg they even got a battle management system

[tiny garden]

What country are you from?

[safe acorn]

Singapore
Why?

[tiny garden]

I thought they were only from Europe, not Asia.😅

[safe acorn]

Battle Management System?

[tiny garden]

What?
