If you think that dispersion is broken look at the T-44's
I hate to say it but the wz is just an overall better tank for this game now maybe in future with larger maps will change
It's easily the best tier 8 in general
T44 best tier 8 😂
I don’t think any tank that is HE-able can be OP. OP means it can 1 v many and come out on top.
59 Patton is best MT, shut your mouth
I would rather 1 v many in a lot of tanks before the scorpion.
laughs in type 62
the difference between the WZ-120-1 FT and the Skorpion is that you need to shoot prammo and do less damage to the WZ while you can shoot HE and get more damage and dpm when brawling a Skorpion
But will they?
Nah it's pretty well balanced right now
Look at the camo of grille vs FV183
I see more unicums spamming the 120-1 FT than the scorpion. That’s all I need to know.
Have fun if they're not stupid and hide the lower plate or face hug
Because a WZ can shred any heavy tank in a 1v1, as well as any medium tank, most light tanks, and almost all TDs, while the Skorpion can be wrecked by HE from almost everyone
It still has the dpm to completely destroy you
and if they hide the lower plate on it you should honestly just hide and give up
WZ-120-1 FT = SU-122-44 HMMMMM
I'd rather be in a JPanther II than a Skorpion, better mobility, armor, and gun
I meant if they face hug or are far away and hide the lower plate, not both at the same time
Either
It doesn't matter what tank you're in you're just not winning that unless you're in a tier 9
If they face hug they'll just dpm you anyways
Skorpion you can fight back with HE
Only it's also huge and has terrible camo
While I'd say the Skorpion is the best tier 8 turreted TD it's in no way overpowered
"Skorpion is OP buff the armor" Bloody genius.
We need a tank. Called the T-50-2, or an april fools event where u get a tog and u turn into submarines/whales
I think the Skorpion right now should stay as is
Yes yes yes
Scorpion is op and buff the armor....

😂
#PCstatsneedtostay
Press X to doubt
Or they could just leave it alone... It's fine as is.
yes
Or just leave it as is
JPanther II has better dpm mobility and armor at the cost of a turret but apparently that's fine according to you
he dont get it IS
You described the Obj. 268 v5 from pc but with less armor
people mount derp on it because the tank is pointless if you use the 90mm
its a lethal tank and WHAT ABOUT THE JPAN II
Or just leave it as is
question have u ever played Pc fridge?
It only lethal when players use it right. I'm tired of the game being dumbed down to the average nub. The tank is fine as is. There are plenty of counters to it and it is a easy kill once it is spotted. Just stop already.
Fake tank?
Personally a tank isn't OP if idiots can't do well in it. There's a few tanks that idiots can go well in but the Skorpion isn't one of them
agreed
Also changing subject after realizing he lost on the Skorpion 😂
lmao
No, you brought up the same points so many times that we eventually ran out and had to re use them.
Your points
It's kinda mobile
turret
The DPM is too much
Our points
The DPM is nothing special on tier 8 TDs
the thing has no armor
the thing is massive
the thing has bad camouflage
It's really not that fast
Nani!?
The scorp is definitely not as mobile as a leopard, nor does it have a gun equivalent to a 170mm at tier 10
Nah the Leopard 1 is too mobile to be like the Skorpion, and a 150mm gun seems closer to that level of performance
^
It'd be more like a turreted Grille with 300-400 less DPM
Which sounds good but not completely broken like you claim it would be
No, it really isnt
Nope, 128mm at tier 8 is about equivalent to 150mm in tier 10
Y r u dum@nits still going
Leopard is too fast for that, it'd be a Grille with a turret and less dpm which seems a bit strong but not op
Not only that, but the huge hull of the scorpion leaves it as a huge he magnet
ah yes it's be like a Grille that shoots slower and is the size of the Leopard 1
but hey turret
It's not even that fast
^
Its fast enough to get around, but not enough to really COD many tanks (if any tbh) or dodge incoming fire
Lets say we compare it to tier 8 mediums. It's more mobile than the Mod 1 and Centurion but slower than literally everything else
Yes but it's the size of a leopard 1 and has 40mm armor at the most and 20 on the turret
There we go that sounds vaguely skorpion like
what
the tank already seems pretty mediocre
Go on tank compare right now and compare the Skorpion to the JPanther II
Because there would be literally no reason to drive the Skorpion if they did that
It's not that mobile, the gun isn't that good, terrible armor, it would be bad at everything compared to other tier 8 TDs
This is a great example of why players don't get to balance the game 😂
^
I feel I could actually do a decent job at balance but yeah pretty much 😂
The Skorpion's mobility is nowhere near any medium, it's actually about on par with the IS-8's mobility if you check the stats on tank compare
Because with limited turret traverse the main reason to drive the tank would be gone
Without the turret, It's a bad JPanther II with some gun arc
Underpowered*
It's balanced now. And this is coming from a player who despises TD's and what they bring to the game.
Only the Grille has actual good DPM compared to other tier 10 TDs while the Skorpion's DPM compared to others in tier 8 is quite bad
and if they buffed the DPM you'd just come back whining about DPM again
Nope because it'd have bad dpm still
Ppl mad at the state of skorpion g
Why?
Cause they don’t have one
👌
Honestly when can WG buff the Ferdinand already
They buffed it
It was over cooked
Then they nerfed it again
That thing is actually so absolute trash
The special thing about it is it trades just bout everything good about the other TDs for that turret
Compared to the JPanther II it does trade mobility and don't forget the ISU-152 has over 280mm penetration
Guess what it actually has better dpm than the skorpion fun fact
The only nerf I'd give to the skorpion is buffing the 128mm on the Borsig, thus power creeping it
Only if you count the Black Prince and TIger (P) as normal tier 7 heavies
Anyways the Skorpion is a pretty piece of Origami with IS-8 mobility
Top speed is 10% higher, the effective power to weight ratios are only about 5% higher
I'm comparing them because the mobility on them isn't that different and I was shocked to see how similar the mobility on them was
Well the IS-8 is still slower than almost every tier 8 medium, just like the Skorpion
the Skorpion's mobility isn't anything like you hype it up as
Ugh, comparing a turret TD with a non-turreted one? Compare the Skorpion with the Borsig. The Borsig has better camo, larger gun and is very low to the ground.
What I said was counting terrain resistance, I check stats on blitzstars where they have the effective amounts
Again, Borsig wins in terms of camo.
Again, the only thing I'd do to bring the Skorpion in check is buff the Borsig 128mm
But it’s never meant to run the 12.8cm. Its speciality lies in the 15cm gun.
I said it before I'll say it again, I'd buff the Borsig 128 to deal with the Skorpion
Only balance change I'd make
I'd rather buff the tank the premium tank is competing with to bring the frankly struggling 128mm gun borsig to the level of the Skorpion's gun
Just look how tall the Skorp is compared the Borsig. The Borsig has HEAT to deal with superheavies.
the Borsig doesn't get instaspotted the moment it's in view range unlike the Skorpion
Skorpion is balanced but the Borsig 128mm is underpowered, just make them equally good
Effective P/W ratio is higher on Borsig compared to Skorpion. 14 vs 13.
WG made Skorpion camo terrible on purpose as a balancing factor
Despite the hard stats having 11 and 15 respectively.
👌 GG WG hiding stats from us as always lmao
Lol. The soft stats can be found on Armor Inspector or Blitz Stars lol
I know that but it's still annoying to not be in game
150mm is the gun you should be using on the Borsig and is lighter so probably that
Borsig has 0.8 on hard
Skorpion has 1.1 on hard.
15.2/1.1=13.8
11.4/0.8=14.25
Yeah but better damage per shot though
The Skorp is just marginally better in medium terrain.
Skorpion is surprisingly not that fast, it's faster than the russian heavies but slower than tier 8 mediums
Of 12.67 vs 11.4 on Borsig.
The Skorpion is seriously not that fast
That’s only useful if you have to relocate.
it's not even that good when you are relocating
I love the connor and I kinda feel bad about this one though. How do you guys think of it
Connor’s a gem. Broken credit coefficient, good DPM, and really good reverse speed to get out of harm’s way.
Dont forget great penn for a t5
Too bad I don’t have one.
It mounts a very powerful 17pdr on a Valentine. But they installed it incorrectly, so it goes faster backwards than forwards.
@regal zealot actually they did that on purpose
So they can retreat like the French? How un-British!
@worldly crown I was using the restroom
As a turtles td had no place in the British doctrine they made it into an ambush td
But then, they failed to defend our homeland against the Japanese in WW2
The Skorpion G can reach it's top speed... on flat ground in a straight line after about 12 seconds of accelerating
the skorpion g in the pc wot has great camo but in blitz its horrble
Yea
If the angry Conor is there in the blitz fair
I’m picking one up
connor makes gud creds
But it fell out of favor because they were constantly on the attack as well as the heavier British tanks started to be able to be used
12 seconds of going in a straight line for just 55 kph is not good lol
So does the JPanther II only that can actually hull down and bounce some shots
Unfortunately for the Brits, The Tortoise came too late in the war.
But at least the Churchills and Cromwells have a lot of use in other forms, like the Funnies.
The tortoise was certainly interesting
Compare it to the JPanther II which beats it at literally everything but gun arc
Yeah the funnies are always fun to learn about
Skorpion trades away a lot for the turret
Actually the JPanther II is slightly less accurate but you get the point
Floating Shermans, bridgelaying Churchills, ramp Churchills and much more.
Sherman Catylope
if you don't know how to avoid being bullied you don't know how to use your surroundings well
@solid gate actually that wasnt a funnie but is needed in blitz
^^^
It cant they'll just throw HE at the grub
@tulip sail tbh i dont know what the hell we're doing
Talking about vehicles
@solid gate we're listening to fridge whine about the Skorpion G
SIGHHHH @keen mantle
The Jpanther has better mobility than the Skorp too.
16.6 vs 13.8
If you think the IS-6 takes no skill then you have never played the IS-6 post +1/-1 lmao
Does he even know the Skorpion has no armor at all and is extremely HE prone?
That’s on Hard
medium matters more and the JP still wins
True.
camo and size
I actually enjoy fighting the skorp it always feels like a fair fight
Again, you forget about camo every single time.
In my opinion ill taake the Skorpion over it. @worldly crown so what doesnt mean anything
Unless I flank em
literally everything but accuracy and gun arc
Almost impenetrable hulldown
^^^ the JPanther II can bounce the BL-10's shells if used correctly
Needs 350mm to effectively pen that area
True. I bounced it from my MBT-70 with HEAT which is retarded
Or maybe he thinks it fits his playstyle better
But the jpanther ii has nothing on the scorp when name and looks come into play
Exactly doesn't mean it's overpowered
I personally prefer the IS-6 over the IS-5 for example but people constantly talk about how the IS-5 is better
JPanther II can do it reliably when hull down
JPanther II can do that with far greater reliability.
I like the IS5 trolly armor aand Russian Bias gun i cant tell you how many times ive hit a penetrating shot full bloom from 260m away
meh I get better with the IS-6
Personal preference
I like both and most t8 premis I have
nah I'm talking about the glorious snap shots I get in the IS-6
full bloom 180m into the lower plate of a Tiger (P) lmao
IS-6 is a significantly better tank than the IS-5 if you play it’s strengths.
😂
Im my IS i hit a tiger 1 full bloom from 150m away and ammo racked him im not exaggerating
Don’t bother peeking if an ISU is in play in the ltwt.
Nice typo @median oak quality content
@keen mantle IS5 is more idiot resistant
That's not pathetic, and more alpha makes dpm easier to use
@median oak IS6 is better than the IS6? Who wins then? IS6?
Or we could leave it as is and buff the Borsig 128mm
That gun could use a buff anyways
Meh, 215mm is enough for tier VIII. I’m running the top 100mm of the SU-101 and it can pen reliably without prammo.
So far the mutz is fun
Exactly. The Skorpion doesnt need a nerf at all am i right?
Yeet
Play like a sniper on the flank
Skorpion doesn't need a nerf, Borsig 128mm needs a buff though
I send a message with a picture, but it didn't appear on my screen
IS-6>IS-5
yes
What's happening?
Typo as dog was jumping on me
Is-7> Is-6&5
100%
But IS-3=IS-6
lol
IS-4 > IS-7 > IS-6&5
You don't want to argue with facts not the other way around @worldly crown
the fact is that the Skorpion is balanced and the Borsig's 128mm gun could use a buff
jk that's an opinion
Agree. 12s for a TD with as huge as JpII gun just can't be right
No, I brought up points that I believed were stronger
Lets be honest, no one came here ready to accept what the other side was saying
@worldly crown why’d you delete all your messages?
He does that every time he loses an argument and doesn't want to admit it, get used to it
I've said it before, it's not that the Skorpion needs a nerf, but rather that the Borsig 128mm needs buffs
Maybe push it to 2950 dpm to put it square between the Skorpion and JPanther II
Alpha dmg, and a much much smaller profile @worldly crown
Soft gun stats are exactly the same for Borsig and Skorp.
I think both guns should be viable like the way it is on PC
If I want to go for long range sniping then I can use the 128mm, if I want medium range derping grab the 150mm is how I want the borsig, so it caters to two playstyles. If the 128mm is buffed to be between the dpm of the Skorpion and JPanther II (2900-2950 dpm) I think everything's going to be fine.
and also turret traverse
Okay? the Borsig is harder to hit and has way way better camo
skorpion G has broke camo rate
I think WG left that on purpose
Skorpion doesn't need nerfing, Borsig 128mm needs buffing
rhm needs better camo rate, fine.
Soft stats are dispersion on the move, dispersion while hull traverse and dispersion while turret traverse. They both have 0.18, 0.18 for the first two, but 0.1 for skorp and 0.12 for Borsig. So very negligible @worldly crown
The armor on both is equally paper, small caliber HE doesn't pen the hull front but it pens literally everywhere also on the tank
skorp g is faster
Still, only -1° difference. It’s nullified if you consider the height of the two tanks.
probably skorp g has also better camo rate
I think both should have distinct advantages, and that the Borsig should be the sneakier one with slightly more dpm while the Skorpion should be able to relocate
Skorpion has terrible camo u wat
still i cant spot it in a fking t44100
Never found the Skorp powerful actually, when against one. But Borsigs are nightmare fuel for Heavies.
Again, consider the height differences between the two.
I find the Skorpion and Borsig equally scary generally
and also skorpion G has a cool name and super cool camo
Lets be honest that's not a real reason lol
@short flame that it does
Borsig players aren't stupid generally though, they're generally more experienced with positioning and ammo selection than the Skorpion G drivers I find
guys i have that offer for the hell flames camo in t44100... that"s so good...
And you can bounce everything, just the other match I had a BL-10 ping off my IS-6
I actually had a Skorpion G bounce off the Centurion 1 turret twice one match
How about we fix the IS 7 damage to 600 per shot 😄
You still can bounce shots if you don’t aim, but then, that is what would happen if you don’t aim.
centurion 1 turret + 10 degrees of depression = unpenetrable
Not really massive forehead
nah, go check
Not really, forehead at autobounce angle.
eh idk I hull down a bunch in the Cent and get whacked regardless a lot of times
79° for top of the turret, and saying isnt good? lol
Skorpion G is fine but the Borsig's 128mm gun needs a buff. That's what I'm gonna leave this at since no one is going to budge on the Skorpion talk
Same game
hey im new here and racking kills quick. any tips to get better?
Im so happy
Both HE pen? @marble hazel
@oak lily expect the game to get about 5x harder after your 5000th game
Yup, look at is5 hot dough! IKD HOW IT PED
as in 3 dam zeros? holy indian cow
wow... and thinkinf that i was so lucky penning Chieftain Mk6's frontal turret witu e100's he from 80 meters
Must’ve hit the engine deck. Doesn’t have much armor.
Oh
i hitted mk6's frontal cupola and penned with he xd ez 1100 dmg
Actually Rhm' derp is fun to use, despite the awful 15s reload
ISU>>> rhm with derp
okay, ill brace and throw the jupes better. kinda helps playen on a omen computer
You can just sit back, if you are not sure to pen, HEAT will do the job
Zero lag, straight kills
Rhm >>>> ISU
well, isu can do same
You won't spot stationary Rhm, even within 51m away
But you can spot ISU from 200m away xD
that isu was sure a bot -_-
Oof
I am sitting behind that bush. This is from my Friend's POV
Lamo, RHM (borsig) has too much camo, but needs a small nerf, bec you dont wanna be spammed while campin
Not all TD is hard to spot, ISU and Obj 704 is pretty easy to spot
Well in terms, heavy TD is easier to spot than Light TD
If that’s the case, why the Grille is easier to spot than the DT? It’s slightly taller than the DT.
Well in fact, Grille has worse camo than WT IV and Rhm
But still good enough for sniping
That’s true. Usually, camo correlates to height. The taller the tank, the lower the camo value. The shorter the tank, the higher the camo value.
UE is good at tier III. Not many tanks can spot you, even while moving, so you can just farm up the dmg.
There are 3 TDs with highest camo rating in this game. First one is Rhm, second is E25, third is UE-57
Loved it to bits, even now.
Wait, thought that the UE has the highest camo in game?
It’s the smallest and lowest tank in the game.
Also high camo rate due to low tier has low view range
NISHIZYMI how to get this reticle
Idk, I don't use that mod.
wut do u guys think the next 2018 christmas tencc will be?
Best Marks man tank?
Can't wait for the Pz. IV Schmalturm event though
Since that is hinted on the play store
Not sure but I think it's gonna be a grind able event
no M? wth
yea you didn't win
true
jk idk if that even factors in
Draw counts as a defeat
Hey guys what do you think about wt AUF PZIV?
It's nice I guess
its a pain
It's like a faster borsig
to fight
Really I think it’s a good tank but only if you snipe
It’s an amazing tank @snow onyx
Hello
I know I got 1000 xp average per match and 2200 damage I just don’t understand why people hate it
Can this have the Name of "Hellfire T44-100"?
why not just hellfire
Both work
true but hellfire seems to roll off the tongue better
if KV-5 had a legendary camo what would it's name be
KV-No
depends on the camo look
The famished Maus
it's quite a juggernaut, so like battle damage or hull dent, because ramming
as in what the camo would look like not the name
eh
How is the playerbase of Wot blitz? Steady, declining or increasing?
in skill or numarically?
Just numbers
oh i think pretty steady not sure on exacts
It's steady mainly
yeah always steady but i saw some kind of increasing in last months
in the 5.4 patch we had one of the highest peaks in ru server (125k)
Steady in what way?
The same number of old players leaving as the number of new joining? Or The number of new players joining is roughly the same as the new players who quit?
yes
Add IKEA tech tree plz
Why is grinding tier 4 s a hassle its so dumb I can't do anything
free exp
From the beginning
free exp
Maybe its a new player
Also Scavenger is so dumb, I cant even play lower tiers because of these dumb tanks
Which gun is better on Scavenger?
second
Ah thank ya
The VK 100.01 P is OVERPOWERED
nah fam
Kv4>vk100
Nothing can pen a KV 4 while hes sidescraping right? Cuz he has 150mm armor in sides..
Still nothing can pen..
um pretty sure the KV-4 has 150mm
But the VK 100.01 P can sidescrape as well
And if the person driving the VK wiggles the tank, it becomes very hard to pen
VK is too tall though russian tanks can side hug it
But then vk can shoot through the roof of the turret easily
the VK can barely hit the russian's turret if the russian tank sits still, the VK isn't going to hit a moving one
I dont have any problem hitting side hugging tanks but thats just me
Does the Dracula have Camo?
I think so
Its just black camo on the tank
Cool.
For the AMX M4 (t7 heavy) should i take 105mm are 90 mm ?
Both are good and can rival even tier 7s
Thx
I suggest getting the 90mm
Better pen for those IS tanks
And VK100s
Dem unlucky last week huh
No, probably. They are event tanks and they tend to have a preset camo.
Just finished grinding this fat boi. Any thought?
The Hellcat... I've been playing around a bit and I'm on the fence about which gun to run. Sure the alpha and pen of the 90mm are nice but I've got to be honest the DPM of the 76mm is nothing to shy away from. I'm not concerned about the armor loss with the tier V turret since I'm not out to bounce shots anyway. What say you?
I prefer Jackson over Hellcat. 90mm and 7s reload is just as fast as T-34/85 or VK 30 P
@oblique pollen not the question I asked.
E100 is my fav tier X so yeah,z
That 76mm can outmatch most tanks on tier 5&6, just hope they don't throw HE at you.
True but if I'm getting shot in a hellcat I'm doing it wrong. Not exactly HE friendly even with the top turret.
WG sell sta Rin camouflage
Is that a polish flag i see next to the chinese td names
Chinese TDs coming soon oh boy I hate Low Tier now
Since they made of plastic?
why is the t20 so bad
T20 isn't bad
Agile tank. Punchy 90mm. Good gun handling. Great gun depression. It's a great tank to teach you how to play the tanks farther up the line.
It has the 3rd best pen of all the tier 7 tech tree mediums.
Use it as a ridge fighter and don't get shot.
You aren't a brawler. Don't try to be one.
Meduims arent suppose to have magical pen and with spock stated it has 3rd best pen of t7s,that being said, ur suppose to abuse its key advantages.u have 90mm which is very unique and second highest
it feels like my panther defenitively has more pen but it also feels like the t43 has better pen
@solid gate I can’t even consider giving up the pen and alpha of the 90mm. The Hellcat using the 76mm has to keep popping out to take those weenie little 160 alpha shots giving your enemy more chances to get in that one lucky HE shell. Makes me nervous.
@smoky dune. Well I played 8 battles with that setup this morning. I've attached the results.
A couple of points.
A. I enjoyed the slight buff to agility I gained by running the lighter setup of what would be a historical Hellcat.
B. I missed the alpha of the 90mm but really enjoyed hitting for 160 every 5 seconds or something
C. The biggest thing I missed was the increased HP that comes with the top turret.
Summary. It was fun but I'll probably end up going back to the 90mm.
alright you told me about the t20 can you tell me something about the t25/2 or is it actually like super bad
T25/2 is a seudo med
but slower and without armour
But good gun
yes
Not that slow
no but still slower than most meds
30km is meh
is6 : good armmor good gun good penetration good speed, t34-3 slower than other med , armor just on the turret and 14s reload
yeah but hat first engine is a nightmare
Stock is always bad most tanks
@blissful quarry the t343 is a med with a big gun its one of the only ones
it can peekaboom better
You have the 122 or 100?
t34*3 just need a little buff of reload
T-34-3 is the prem one
T-34-2 is tech tree
@mint ridge nice profile pic
14s is too long
Ye I know
It’s a med and it has an armored turret it can work quite well for a copy ripoff T-54
They always camp for a reason t34 3
.
minimum reload is 13.6 s so 13.6 x 4 = 54.4s, 4 shoot for 1 minute 1600 dmg per minute its very low
And miss their shots
They buf primiames? Sry eng
premiums ?
Y
yes
su 122 44 has 8s reload for 400 dmg and the level8 su101 have 12s --"
Su 122 44 is Stalins hammer
is a level 7
When are chinese lights coming to the game?
is the tiger2 any good?
Yeah it is. But the IS tanks appeal to new players because they look cool and have a big gun
but it is good at sidescraping i think
Tiger II’s armor is actually effective if you use it right judt gotta angle, most idiots just sit straight and expose lower plate
Not against everything
you dont sidescrape in a Tiger II
why not
You can tho
Lowe maby
Wiggle the turret and you're fine
you gotta use that front plate to angle
If you come out showing that plate ppl will pen the lower plate
is the vk4502a basically the same but weaker armour
The VK sucks
sorta but not really
Don't buy it, it's an excuse for a tier 8
it might suck but i gotta go through it
I free XP'd it with those collector tanks
for vk4502b
NO
Its real ? @keen jay
it bounces the regular IS shell allways
Thx
Man you are on serious stuff if you think IS-6 has good armor.
against tier7 its relatively good
T-34-3 isn't a rip off T-54, it's China looking at a picture of the T-54 and designing a tank around it.
IS-6 armor pushes good against tier 7 but the Tiger I is the bane of your existence
You're using the wrong gun if you choose the penetration cannon
That is. If you can play a Tiger I properly, then yes it is tier 8 heavy tank clubber
Almost all Chinese tanks are rip off T-54s, others are rip off IS tanks. I hate that tech tree and hope WG will release some useful tanks like Swedish ones
Actually Chinese tanks are not rip offs
What WG did to the Chinese tree was a travesty however
If Chinese tanks are not rip offs, what are they? Oh, yeah, tanks bought to other nations
Type 59 is China's discount T-54, that is a premium
T-34-1 is when you rebuild a T-34 76 to house a 100mm gun
Isn’t that basically rip off
T-34-2 is T-34-1 all over again
No, it's not. They completely rebuilt the entire hull.
If you argue the T-34-1 is a rip off of the T-34 76, then you can argue the T95 medium tank is a rip off of the M48 patton
Ok lemme check the definition of a rip off
PS T-34-1 is a rip off T-54
No, it is not, it has nothing to do with T-54, except for the gun
Which I'd like to point out was the medium tank equivalent of the death star for a long time, beating the British 105mm L7 in raw power
cough turret
Just because the turret shape is remotely the same does not mean it is a 'rip off'
You aren't even using the word rip off correctly, because the deal is no fraud. You can argue it is a clone tech tree, but it's not that either
The real Chinese tech tree actually got screwed by World of tanks
Actually they were built 20 years later sure they were more powerful in terms of gun
China actually experimented with smoothbore guns on light tanks. Specifically, a version of the Type 62 with a 100mm smoothbore gun. This is well within timeline, but if the 115mm U-5TS is any indication, they are beyond tech level, and for very good reason
STB-1 is from the late 1960's, the 100mm armed Type 62 is within timeline.
STB-1 is actually way better
Light armor of M551 Sheridan was its main flaw Type 62 is a T-54 without armor and 10 years later what timeline
Type 62 is a very light light tank
It was developed for the purpose of making a light tank that could operate outside of better paved areas in China, and be combat useful. Hence, it's 300mm penetration HEAT shell can kill any NATO tank that could have been fielded at the time, through their best armor
It cannot kill Merkava
STB-1 is not an especially good tank contrary to your imagination
At least it can’t be destroyed by throwing some rock on it
Merkava actually has really shitty hull armor. Even a 1949 T-54 can shoot up the merkava frontally
We’re not talking about the same model I think
Mk2 has spaced armor
Only the Mk 4 has the physical possibility of having some mediocre armor, but it'll get buttered
Spaced armor is actually not a good option against HEAT shells. It requires incredible size to be effective, and can result in optimum stand off, improving the performance of the shaped charge
Fuel tanks however, are very mass effective* protection against HEAT shells. But ERA is just amazing
Ok but I don’t understand nothing now my English is too low
You can destroy any tank by throwing a big rock at it.
No I’m talking about some small rock
Main flaw of the Sheridan was that it pushed a prototype gun system into service and said gun system was very questionable.
Type 62 actually has very good armor for a light tank
It worked anyways
USA lost against Vietnam but not cause of the tank
It's resilient to 40mm APDS shot I think
Simpler plz I don’t understand
It's front armor can stop 40mm Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot
57mm shot is too much, but I think 40mm shot can be resisted
Who builds 40mm shells in 60´s?
I do not believe any.
._.
Sheridan on the other hand can't even stop a certain Soviet machine gun
14.5mm KPVT
Type 62 frontal armor is capable of messing up the fusing action of all NATO HEAT shot of 1950's-mid 1960?
the entire UFP can induce the critical angle required to cause them to fail to fuse. It is merely a matter of slightly angling the tank a few degrees to either side
Thus in a way it is completely immune to HEAT shot for a very brief interval of time
This issue showed up in the Yugoslav tests
Soviet HEAT shells because of a different fuse design, did not suffer from this flaw, and accordingly, could easily defeat tanks like the Chieftain
enabling a 'lowly' T-54 to kill a chieftain from over 1.5 kilometers through it's precious turret with 3BM8, and all feasible combat ranges with 3BK-5 and 3BK-5M
Even a 'lowly' T-34 85 could kill a Chieftain with it's own HEAT shells, through the turret
Yes because the Russian tanks have done so well in armored combat since WWII
😂
I mean to be fair they're not bad per say, but they aren't the greatest tanks. Maybe the T-14 Armata is going to get up there with the best tanks the NATO nations have
I don’t think HEAT existed yet during WW2
not to say it worked well though
Swedish HEAT shells made the BT42 ineffective against tanks but it worked against bunkers and Howitzers
So Finland kinda left only one BT42 survive
We already have bt7 art we don't need a other one whit a 105 mm
If you don't get spoted
No.
Is-3 or Lowe?
yes
Yes
IS-3 is a great heavium Lowe currently takes no skill to drive
Every time I’ve tried to 1v1 him the lowe pens everywhere, and my dpm can’t match it
don't try to use dpm against a Lowe
What’s the best strat against it?
I found side hugging to work somewhat well, and you can shot trade with them
you can't sit still when side hugging though It's not as tall as the VK 100
And it’s much faster
@median oak What you are saying is a logical fallacy and you know it
When equally incompetent forces clashed (Iraq vs Iran) the results were approximately equal. It also showed precious Chieftain tanks couldn't stop a T-62's steel 'training' shot, with even their precious turret armor. It also showed Chieftain tanks are very much capable of being butchered. And M60A1's burn like a boss
Middle East couldn't beat farmers with a modern army, much less Israel. Their terrorist organizations are better at fighting wars than they are.
And no, they aren't Russian, they are Soviet, and very specifically, Polish/Czechslovakian/still not Russia
@keen mantle They are some of the greatest tanks ever made. T-54 is way up there for example. T-14 Armata is likely better than the M1 Abrams, based on what we know about Soviet 1970's-end tank projects
The problem is that with the state of the Russian economy, almost all of their tank designs either get canceled or end up being about 80% as good at half the cost. Russia's military generally goes for cost effectiveness rather than being overall best.
The reason most of the Soviet 1970's projects were cancelled, was because A Kremlin isn't as stupid as Pentagon for experimental tech
Also because they have money issues and are forced to maximize cost effectiveness rather than make the best possible tank
T-90 is a very good tank and can still kill every NATO MBT frontally
T-90 is actually just a T-72 with a T-80 turret
And a T-72 could already kill every NATO MBT
Doubt
You realize the T-72M's in Iraq are just downgraded T-72A's with training shot for it's best AP ammo selection, right?
The T-72 is very common in the middle east and it's performance suffers against the much more expensive and technologically advanced NATO tanks
training shot that can kill a Chieftain but not an M1 Abrams
And while export T-72s are worse, the difference is in the armor package
the difference is actually quite huge in ammunition selection
the best the middle east can hope to buy for a 125mm is really bad ammo. Or steel training shot. That is, if they actually buy a T-72 in the first place. One of the most common Iraqi tanks was a Type 69, and just like Soviet Union, China was not selling good shot
Almost every tank can kill another tank, the problem is mobility, accuracy, and visibility
T-72 has the accuracy and targeting abilities...
And yet has far worse range than NATO tanks and worse ability for firing on the move
I don't think you realize: NATO tanks can't actually kill a T-72 past around 2 km
T-72B I think
And a T-72 definitely can't kill past that either. The T-72 is an outdated tank that Russia just sells because they can make money
T-72B has much stronger armor than T-72A
T-72B can resist 120mm shot at the end of cold war era
For the T-90 they just upgraded the armor packages on a T-72 hull and slammed a T-80 turret on it
T-72 weighs in at ~40 tons, and it's enemies weigh around 60 tons+
Yes, that's Russia, they make small tanks to save money by making a tank that's 80% as good for half the price
T-72 has, frontally similar LOS values as it's NATO couterparts
Not 80%. Almost the exact same.
Russia's first real shift away from that concept is the T-14
you know america experimented with something like the T-14 once?
and the T-14 Armata is inferior to the prototype MBT concepts of the 1980's.
The T-14 only exists because Russia wants to move away from having a conscript army so they need a tank that doesn't blow up the moment someone gets a good turret hit
Actually, turret hits are difficult to get an ammo detonation on a Soviet tank
a major fragment would have to do a near 60* turn and pierce a shell casing
As it turns out that almost never happens.
The thing is that's a possibility
It's more like a possibility so unlikely that it will never happen
NATO tanks generally use human loaders so they can retain the ability to use blowout panels
That makes absolutely no sense at all.
You're saying this like the autoloader magazine isn't huge and can be hit from a lucky turret shot or a center of mass shot
Do you even know where the autoloader is situated?
You'd have to be extremely lucky to get it through the turret
The autoloader is in the lower center of the hull
The T-72 is an outdated machine that only serves to be sold in large numbers to poor nations
Well I'm not denying that it can kill an NATO tank, just that it'd struggle against most of them frontally and gets out ranged by almost all of them
It varies a lot
Their LOS is barely higher than T-72. In places, it is lower.
T-72 varies from ~580 to ~800 LOS main frontal
NATO is ~600 typically.
We got the heavily armored stuff like the Abrams and Challenger and we have some more nimble stuff like the Leopards
it's not really the same across all of them as lots of nations have opted to go for their own home made armor packages
Guys, you do realize that in the end NATO wins right?
yeah pretty much
Air support wins most battles
Challenger has good armor?
Do you need to see the operational records of the Challenger 2?
Some people can really dream. But in truth it's armor is not very strong. It is actually very sketchy.
And NATO has better long range strike capabilities
Leopard 2 likely has highest kinetic protection of all NATO MBT's
press x to doubt
If anything, of the countries with current generation MBTs the Leopard 2 is closer to the bottom end
Challenger and Abrams were designed to be better against HEAT munitions, Leopard made use of possibly inferior armor efficiency but it was still better protection versus kinetic, simply about mass investment
Leclerc has dubious armor protection, Challenger is still mediocre and is by far the slowest NATO MBT
Oh right there is the Type 90 with it's unbelievably sketchy armor mass
So, what tank will you guys shoot for in the event? I'm thinking the new American for me
Well the Challenger 2 is falling behind in terms of weaponry and engine power but the armor is still rather nice
Unless it's in crates, then I might wait
Do you even know what the Challenger 2's armor is like?
@quaint jetty dude the turret can literally be penned by 75mm HE on that thing
There's a huge 25mm tumor on the side of that turret
T110E5 has an ahistorical tumor and hull
WG checked the T110E5's real hull and decided the armor would be too weak, so they just gave it a better one out of pity.
Still, if I can get the tank without spending a dime, I'll try, but won't pay for crates
IIRC it's actually 110mm @30*
Same with the M48 and T110E5 cupola where they chopped the top in half
M48 turret is fake armor. Real life armor is 178 LOS from 0*
This means the entire turret front except for auto bounce would almost be pierced by the current interpretation of 100mm D-10T
100mm D-10T2C with it's ingame performance would murder that turret
the thing with it is that the flat part is rather small
Well the problem is that the entire turrets thickness is based on 178mm LOS from zero
If it moves around it's hard to hit the flat part and you often hit the gun mantlet or very angled parts
So it's not actually keeping 178mm thickness across the entire turret. It's thinning.
M60A3 did fix the stupid turret shape though
None of the M60 turrets has much armor - 25mm TP-T goes thru it same with Leo I.
25mm? Lol. through 254mm LOS? 178mm LOS?
Yeah
Are you high?
I’ve seen it. Lots of tank hulls sitting for targets.
Facts and fiction are two different things.
Yes you live in a fictional world
Can you show me any evidence?
Do you live in Northern Virginia?
Do you have any evidence that is physically possible?
Hands on life experience
👌
So no evidence, alright then
Is it worth getting the full length 152mm gun on the isu152, or to wait until the object 704 and grind free xp for it?
And is it worth getting the 44k xp 122mm on the isu152 or go straight to the 152mm?
@leaden cedar I really don’t care what you think. I’m simply relating factual information based on my career. I wasn’t a tanker but I’ve seen a number of different systems tested and fired a lot of stuff including anti armor systems. I’ve also crawled around in a number of former Warsaw Pact captured vehicles. I don’t sit in front of Janes Defense and regurgitate stats
@fallow shoal get it on the ISU
Never start a nine grind with out as much you can have it on already
It would be really painful with the shorter done running into tier 10 tanks
factual information? I suppose physically possible isn't necessary then?
I wouldn't get into a reality argument with Crusader, lads
Is the 122mm gun for 44k xp be worth getting or skip it?
He's a veteran. So, real life experience. The rest of us are mere civvies
@median oak would the 44k xp 122mm gun be worth getting or skip it?
The BL-9S is in no way worth it
K thanks
@lilac mantle No evidence. His claim. He says 25mm shot can pierce 254mm LOS. I think he is lying. His only evidence is his claim.
We know he's legit, Temp.
😂
Depleted uranium? High-velocity round? Who knows? There's obviously stuff out there that can do such things.
Well he never said how much power was behind it to be fair
That's just not how physics works.
Maybe he means 120mm gun 🤣
If someone wanted to make a 25mm cannon that penetrated everything it they could if they had the money and tried hard enough
That would be one very long tungsten rod.
The M60 tanks armor wasn’t a great feature.
@leaden cedar Tungsten? go for DU lmao
Penetrator length prohibits penetrating the turret frontally.
inb4 just impale the tank
Pure steel protection obviously was never great protection for a tank.
Steel armor is actually more volume effective than composite.
the problem with steel is that is suffers against HEAT ammo which everyone uses
To the exception if chemical round countermeasures are involved ( know its called something but forget what )
ERA
It is not mass effective. Composite has slightly better performance than steel, but if same LOS steel can be defeated, generally composite will too.
Btw @median oak what does that stand for?
Explosive Reactive Armor
Isnt it like 1 time use?
ERA is a secretly a cheatcode.
Basically small panels of attached explosive compound designed to detonate and disrupt a HEAT warhead’s charge
Take that as a yes then lol
One time use for that location -
Other issue is it causes issues on the vehicle. Dislodges other panels and generally annoys dismounted support...
OP as sin ERA is.
For the most part Armies have transitioned from it.
lol wut? Are you serious?
True i would assume the fact that people would climb over possible bombs would be a detrament.
Preferring add on modules of composites
Almost everyone uses a combo of ERA over composite
ERA will wreck visions ports, thermal sights and comms gear
It’s really not practical in practice
That's the main disadvantage
But the cost of replacing the plates after combat could be another negative, as opposed to just having overall thicker armor.
it's kind of um
explosive
BRB
You don't want to be standing next to a tank as the tank gets shot
Or be the external gunner if it applies.
ERA is actually amazing. Many tanks use it nowadays. Abrams with ERA for example exists. "Tusk"
But its integrated within the armor not just plates slapped onto the outside of the tank
It's pretty much just bricks of ERA strapped to a tank
Fair enough
TUSK actually is modular. ERA can be added as part of a Theater Protection Package. - but generally ERA causes more issues than it solves. For the most part most new / LEP’s use a modular armor add on - so you can add what is relevant and it keeps the weight down on the original vehicles.
Better than having a projectile punch through the tank because you don't like ERA
At7 is great just got it
Concerns about enemy ERA drove dual and triple war heads - to defeat add on. As well Top Attack warheads now...
OFFTOPIC
Plus ERA generally can be defeated by kinetic penetration sabots - as the hypersonic signature can pre detonate and it’s generally not deflected significantly off the AOA anyway
ERA can handle dual warheads
ERA can also defeat kinetic sabots unless you specifically design to protect against them
struggles with APFSDS tho
Late 80’s era TowII could defeat most current ERA packages
lol struggles with APFSDS
Kontakt can rekt HEAT missiles and shot
Dem competition between armor and ammo
Kontakt-5 is nice but it's nothing invincible
Took you how long and you think 25mm sabot shoots holes through 254mm RHA?
Kontakt 5 is a heavy ERA. It's on the high end of the spectrum
You can shoot it with an auto cannon and it won't go off
how big of an autocannon
What about 30mm auto
Not sure about 30mm, but I do know 20mm
@leaden cedar you remind me of folks in project offices that make great claims and base stuff off computer modeling that doesn’t pan out in the real world and refuse to admit garbage in garbage out.
who needs evidence I just need to make a claim on the internet and people will believe me
to be fair that's everyone here lol
except he refuses a source. I actually have sources
Idk about armor but modern warfare is quite one-sided, as far as modern warfare goes
Just pop a couple of missiles and all is well
If someone made a cannon that shot a 25mm DU dart at hypersonic speeds it would penetrate just about anything to be fair, it just wouldn't be doing a whole lot of damage
@inland osprey clearly you haven’t been to war
Well, yeah
Lol @leaden cedar ... you doubt a veteran seeing those rounds penetrate? Cru has years of NATO theatre experience.
Yup
Lots of em'
This is a game discord server after all
mosquito gun then engine then turret then 105mm
I was inclined to go Egine - turret - 105 and skip the 8,8L100 alltogether
the thing is it's not fun to play with 200mm pen in tier 9
Yah, I'm suffering it like right now 😃
Grinding this and the wz-111 1-4 at the same time and both suffer from the same lack of pen with stock guns. But at least the WZ has great DPM
Tier 9’s are not for stock grinds -
Tier 9 stock grinds are actually hell
Agreed
Yeah, hurts the soul
well you can legit get everything on the 704 but the tracks without even playing the 704
That because Mother Russia reign supreme, comrade. We will destroy those capitalist pigs!
Churchill GC, yum
@west stag hmm more gun depression on the second gun... I never knew, I guess I'll stick with the second gun if I purchase the LTTB again...
Less pen and dpm for gun depression, good enough
it's only 6mm less pen and a little less dpm but you get 10 more alpha on prammo, and 8 degrees of gun depression rather than 5
I guess I'm stupid to overlook this info for the LTTB, poor me
we all know this
I’m trying to grind the lttb now and I’m hating it. Don’t want to even drive the thing.
It's the poor man's Dracula
It’s worse as it can’t specialize in anything good. At least the drac has a decent gun.
The guns are actually rather comparable
jk I lied
but the LTTB has actual armor and better mobility
Ikr lttb was impossible to pen literally
you can't frontally HE the LTTB and the LTTB is a far narrower tank
I thought some of the armor was nerfed frontally? Idk
Yeah but it's still sloped 75mm
Just know any time I being grinding any tank, there’s a good chance it will get nerfed. Lol.
Pre nerf the LTTB could angle and autobounce a T34...
Granted it had to be a prefect angle while pitched up slightly - but
the armor on it is about on par with the Rudy currently
@keen jay can you put yellow vest camo for the french tank in the game ?
The LTTB was a nightmare for the T71 pre LTTB nerf and T71 buff I heard lol
But now I heard LTTB is no match for a T71
LTTB hasn’t got the DPM to deal with the T71, but the frontal hull armor is as trollish as a Rudy.
It’s the lowest DPM LT of tier VII, but it has armor as compensation.
I wish I had t6 drac
They’ll probably offer it again
How good is the T29
Turret is very well armored, plus gun depression is good. Play your turret and you'll be fine. I recommend the 105mm gun.
@violet geode
@tall fox after playing it since the day's of being a noob I've got a 62% wr in it ove a month
It's low-key OP
Didn't get to play it when it had 90 frontal armour but it was ridiculous then
Lacks dpm can pen most things it's tier with ap
@dim sail If i go against the t29 with M6A2E1 i will wreck it
But that mobility with view range is basically giving you free shots on heavys who wonder where tf is that shot coming from
I'm talking about the lttb
Are Chinese heavy tanks any good? Anyone has experience with it?
tier 7 and 9 are bad or okay depending on who you ask, tier 8 and 10 are good
Ok thank you
Which is betterfor t6 on Britain med the firefly or the Cromwell
Cromwell's better, but if you want the QQF 17-pdr Gun Mk. VII early/ likes the shermans then the firefly...
Uh?
Which one gives me a better chance at dodging and has a better fire rate/weapon
Cromwell
Cromwell 🅱 🅱
Ok thanks guys
Hey guys I just have a question
It’s me or only one tank can pen the E 50 M frontal armour ??
Nop it’s FV215b (183)
No fv183 premo is HE
No AP with 310 pen
@solid gate jg has if i remember right 420 heat pen
Jge100 is 380
Whit clibred shot is around 420
Ok
I guess I have to be that much less agressive in lttb and rely on the view range more. I think my issue is that I wish it was still op and playing it too loose. Lol.
What about is7?
The Foch 155 Tier X TD with Calibrated Shells can put its HEAT round (407 pen) through almost any tank at almost any angle. I can’t think of anything with higher penetration than that. 🤔
Hello lovely people
Obj268 and JagdPanzer E100 have 380mm pen without CS on HEAT, with CS it is 408
But I think that using HEAT and prammo on such high pen tanks is a nonsense
JgPz E100 have 420
Babushka is that you? Way are you not in house making potato soup
I'm rekting some cykas
Just got a few App Store Gift cards from customers and I have enough to buy the Mutz or the K-91, I know a few contributors post on here so which is the best value for money, I have heard the Pz.Mutz is just an Indien in a different skin.
K-91 looks nice
—— the 183 pos. 2 of them in a game, 1 per team. I’ll give you 2 guesses how many shots they took, and how much they contributed to their team.
If it’s not broken, let me know when you see a Foch 2 games in a row, let alone 2 in a game.
@dark grotto I agree because fV is easily flankable and during the reload is helpless
Who cares? It can shove 60%+ of a tanks HP through the front of nearly every tank.
And then you can absolutely aniolate it
Great! I still instantly lose credits that match, and have a much lower chance of winning. Instantly.
The fv is not easily flankable lmao
In fact. Since it has a low avg win rate, and a high avg damage, looks like a great candidate for a swap, maybe to an actual skill based tank, rather than a slot machine on tracks
Buff kpz70
I’ve seen a lot do very well in the Kpz 70. It’s probably all down to play style.
Is WG going to add Centurion AX???
Okay Thanks
So this is a legitimate question. Does China just not care about having effective tanks to fight wars with. Because the entire medium line including the WZ120 is some of the worst tanks I’ve ever played. With all the hills and mountains in China you would think designing a tank able to shoot something 200+ meters away on slightly lower ground would be a priority. It’s a joke trying to shoot anything that isn’t on flat ground
That's a collector tank. Most used to be tech tree tanks but they were removed from the tech tree. You can no longer get them. If you sell them they are gone for good.
@spare forge you don’t need gun depression to run over students...
That one went right through
Wow that’s inconsiderate @median oak. Now any Chinese citizens on this server are going to get a visit from the thought police to learn about how that didn’t happen
Shots fired.
Their internet will just cut out
You're implying their government lets them see this in the first place
Well we'll know something happened if suddenly the Chinese server population drops off in a few days.
😂
Guys, I have a question... T-34-85 or MT-25 ?
you know tiger I is op when you can take on an entire team by yourself
@solid gate
https://i.gifer.com/H4Vf.gif
wont fit in the map
If warthunder is realistic. Than why did I just drift in the Lee?
shhh
@torn mason because it's not a sim game
What’s your thoughts on the T110E5? I have it and I seem to like it and do good in it.
@fiery bear it's a good tank
It’s good, but soviets is better 😝
Sowjert*
It's a Calisota typo and a noice meme
For me its like a jack of all trades you know
thots on fv4202?
inb4 relevant
?
FV4202 is a tank that goes from worse Patton with the stock gun into a good tank that needs ammo selection skills and about 3 million credits in the bank to play with the top gun
What is KV-5 had 1780 HP like it does on PC
Do you want the ISU-152 to do 750 damage?
No.
I like being able to one shot(or almost one shot) Rhm and Ru
The Egyptian T-34/100 would make a neat tier 7 turreted TD
those are actually pretty cool
someone made me a 3-D printed condom for a christmas gift joke last year but I broke it :v
2017 Halloween Tank of PC?
looks like it
It's an FCM 1 I believe
I only recognice the stock ARL turret.
What’s better: T55A or Pz 58
T55A that Indian Pz with down syndrome got nothing on the cheeki breeki master
@brave oak Pz 58 is a waste of money in my opinion
I can afford only one prem but not too sure which one
@brave oak T55A all the way brother
Alright
Pz. 58 will be cheaper some other time
wargaming: MAKES IT MORE EXPENSIVE
Kv-4 Best tank
Yep
man buff ke-ni pls
@main plover buff ke ni otsu ke ni is way too good, Ke ni otsu only has 1000 dpm at tier 3 that ks very low
Um, I’m lost. Which Ke-Ni needs a buff again?
Clearly the Otsu 😂
the ke-ni needs a buff, otsu has 4 shells
Otsu is overpowered tho
I saw an otsu first in a battle after the nerf and he had 4 ammo bars, I had 2 :c
Otsu is even more broken now than before
