ho ri potter 😂
Surprisingly alot of tanks in sequence are
Japan couldent make up their mind lol
Japan didn't have field experience using their tanks so they didn't know what to change
At least not with tanks and they did just not against tanks
you get what I mean, they didn't know what made a good tank
Yes the Italians were a bit better but in a similar boat
the Italians just didn't have enough industrial strength to build something good
If they were making T-34s they'd probably still only make them in Tiger numbers
Yeah they also didn't know how to make a good medium looking at prototypes
That's a good point
They only really had the industrial power to pump out tankettes
Yeah and in that respect they made pretty good tankettes
Anti air as well
I cant speak about that I've never looked into that
@keen mantle you guys seem to really enjoy tanks and talking about them if you want I can point you to a good source if you would like @fallow shoal
Just PM me if you do
Cool send me that plz
go ahead ye
Sent em
noice
Yup I've learned alot bc of them
It's kinda weird when you think about it that most of these tanks were designed and built in a matter of 4 years
Like isn't that a bit too fast?
Yeah or less cough m4 cough
I assume the Sherman was the most mass produced American, excuse my lack of knowledge of history
I mean the M4 was basically running off the same suspension system as the M2 and M3 so they only needed to design the hull, turret, and gun
What about the Wolverine and the hellcat, I think the M10 was also so popular
@fallow venture and as long as your willing to learn and better yourself all is good and the crews didnt like the m18 much but the m10they did
I mean it's almost like the M18 could literally be penetrated by machine gun fire at close range so I can't imagine the crew liking that
I don't like history in general but this is just interesting and fun to more about
It didnt even have a better gun then the m4s at that time
@tulip sail WG is so unrealistic with that
Ikr
I mean this is the modern equivalent of the M18 Hellcat
just any sort of truck with a tow missile launcher
Yeah but they do pretty good at modeling the tanks
Lol
@fallow venture the WoTB Hellcat was based off of a prototype that was mounted with an M36 turret and gun so that's actually not completely unrealistic
why
War thunder is probably much more realistic, I guess
@keen mantle why would they do that?
was the t150 removed?
Its better than the 76mm and @fallow venture by far
@sonic raven became collectible
Because the KV-2 was more popular
but more people liked the KV-2 deal with it
And it was a pain while stock
what about the KV-13?
Same thing
dang
lets be honest there are event tanks with more people playing them than the KV-13
Kuro Mori Mine lol
I was grinding if...
Kv13 is garb anyway
I got mine :p it's nice
Also that's not saying much @keen mantle
I like my KV-13
Yeah but it's just so unused
Its historic crews cant agree no
I'm honestly going for Chinese and German meds instead of Russian
@sonic raven if you previously owned the kv13 you can get it back. However for collector tanks I believe instead of needing a garage slot and credits you need a slot and the gold its worth which for the kv13 is i believe 2.5k
China med trash E 50 M meta and Leo is really fun
I can't deal with the Leo and why is the Chinese trash?
ohh my gosh
Oh didnt know that
@tulip edge thank you
What I dislike the most, though, is that they removed tanks from the Japanese line as if it wasn't small already
Its not like it mattered much anyway just like three tanks sub tier five
They never added the heavies @sonic raven
he's talking about the low tiers
The Ke-Ho and Ke-Ni were very near and dear to me
Oh the small cute ones
ye lol
I gave up on sta-1. Got it fully upgraded still couldnt enjoy it
The Chi-Ri is really fun
It has garbage armour but it's all about gun depression
Though wg should give the line more gun depression
The comet has 12 and all the Japanese have 10
It's kinda unfair
Some derb at tier 10
Japanese heavies should never be added
oof why not
They're like another KV-2
"Hey remember that VK 100.01 (P) tank that everyone is complaining about on the discord? Lets just make that but with no frontal weak spots."
That's sort of true
yeah you get the problem with them now
Plus a 152mm derb gun
150mm*
My bad
Plus they would be incredibly awkward in the maps. They would have to rework areas to accustom their size
I mean anyways, why would you have tanks take skill at high tiers? That shouldn't amount to anything right?
If you've ever played Japanese heavies on PC it's the single most no skill possible thing to play
I saw a review of it, it's just alot of armour and big chunks of damage but yea you can spot it easily but that doesn't really matter
Why bother angling they need to load premium ammo to penetrate anything before you take into account angles
So they're just bad all around?
this is with 317mm pen HEAT, green being 100% pen, light green being 75% pen, yellow being 50% pen, orange being 25% pen, and red being 0% pen
the only way to penetrate this every time with 317mm penetration HEAT is by shooting dead center on the middle of the cupola
you see why this is stupid and shouldn't be in the game?
Yeah i see now lmao
Here's 250mm pen AP, the only way to pen more than 80% of the time is by getting a perfectly clean shot into the view ports on the cupola
where there's that tiny slot of green
im sure some sort of bs rng could fit a shell in there
Only Russian shells though
Or wg can screw with it to give it weaker sides
to make it even worse, they have 150mm guns that shoot only HE and do a good 400-500 splash damage no matter what
Why not just punish an IS-7 for being hull down instead of everything down
I still wonder why the Japanese meds aren't that op
Still not enough. I remember the developers talking about it on a stream. They tested them out and they just came out too strong and the fact that the tanks couldnt access parts of the map says a lot lmao
to make up for the japanese havies that arent there @fallow venture
the STB-1 is a good tank though at least
Imagine wg gave them like 14 degrees of gun depression, that's it... They created a new base of players
historically the STB-1 had a suspension that could lean forwards and give a combined 20+ degrees gun depression
the type 61 is really hard to play
everytime i get spotted im immediately rushed by any t54
@keen mantle well if that add that suspension somehow, everyone would go for the Japanese meds
well it would be insanely op with that lol
add swedish heavies with their 1000 degrees
lol
I understand the pain even if I'm playing with a T49 and I see a Japanese med, I just think to myself: that's a nice cake
everyone does that lmao
as much as i love the japanese meds, if i spot one alone and i know i can take it ima murder it
Stb-1 is fine imo. Sta-1 and type need some love
yeah a strong gun mantlet will do it
They have paper armour and 10 degrees isn't enough
I cant comment on chi-ri. I enjoyed playing it but i havent played it since like 2016
just give the STA-1 and Type 61 strong gun mantlets and they'll be great solid tanks
It's my next tank in the line @tulip edge
@keen mantle and better front armour and turret roof
Chi-ri is probably worse now. Influx of prems that can outclass it with tier 8 prems also. Thankfully I played it way back when
nah just the gun mantlet
Type 61 has a big cupola, right?
It has a tumour
make it like the AMX 30 1er where the gun mantlet bounces shots but the rest can be penned easy
It's such a painful line
Only japanese tank i have left in my garage is a chi nu kai
I'm close to researching like 3 tier 9 tanks and I have no credits to buy them
I love the Chi-Nu
@sonic raven that was a fun one
I always forget the differences with chi nu and chi nu kai. Believe the kai has better gun reload. Can never remember
difference is kai makes stupid credits
It was fun till they changed the hp on the t5s
Only just worse than the angry connor. Kai is my best credit earner but im bored of playing it. Ima need credits soon though i blew 4 million today
kai makes a lot of money
Lmao and when its the birthday for the kai.
I havent played it in a while but if i remember correctly it was rare if i made less than 50k
jeez
Most i made in it was around 120k without missions. I think a birthday bumped it up was ages ago
Cruel Twist is my new money maker. It's nice to finally have a tier 8 that is fun to play.
Does it play quite similarly to the ru? I’d imagine so
Did you see my Soviet Type 5? @keen mantle
no I have not lol
@solid gate the 183 hasn't been nerfed until now because WG thinks that they don't camp
I never miss in my Type 5 now.
Yes. A RU that make great credits. It's like the RU and the Bulldog had a romantic getaway and then 9 months later WG added the Cruel Twist to the garage.
@slender perch dang with that much russian bias you could almost make a german gun accurate
@keen mantle. Notice he's looking the completely wrong direction. Typical 🤣
Then i was stupid to not get it. Im a big fan of the ru251
@solid gate yeah seems about right
and no one notices the second one, the camo's just that good
The screenshot looks like a 4v2. When you're alone in your E100 trying to win and your 183 decides to yolo.
I think they accurately described random battles in 1 picture.
I have no clue what team the 140 is supposed to be on lol
he's mad that the mediums went the medium side and is now trying to team kill the E 100 for it most likely
I think the deathstar and e100 are together and the rest are enemies. Idk why that deathstar is infront of two is7s and aiming at something else and not shooting the two enemies behind
@slender perch I disagree. Nobody is facing backwards.
True, it's a known fact that most tanks have better armor in the rear.
An is4 and is7*
my question is why is the deathstar upfront with the heavies
Because it's a heavy tank
Deathstar is using his armour
I think the 140 is a "team mate" in that they're supposed to be on the same team but the 140 is just mad and trying to team kill, which is far more likely than the 140 actually pushing in tier 10
Can anyone explain or point out where WG has explained why the Tech Tree model Panzer IV has the lowest RoF, HP/ton and worst dispersion on turret rotation of all the Panzer IV based variants? It has the “best” armor in raw mm, but since it’s all flat as can be that’s pretty meaningless.
Because most of the panzer iv variants have better guns and are higher teir
it's literally the second highest tier one
Wait are we counting tanks that are based on panzer 4 or just the panzer 4a,d t5,
Then we count up to t9
seems legit
I'd say that the panzer iv should have less dpm then the t9 variation
😂
but this is WG remember that the JgPz IV should have more dpm than some tier 10s in their eyes
remember that the Black Prince/FV201 needs to have more DPM than Jg.Pz. IV
no lol
has more dpm than it tho
JgPz IV has over 3200 dpm 😍
why did they nerf the pz 3s reload
is was so good and that's what made the tank good
its effectively useless now
Because it gets to be tier 3 and have that armor
Did they slightly nerf the panzer IV S reload?
but why is it a tier three now
@glass otter?
Platoon anybody?
i have rely on teammates now instead of before when i could actually 2v1 and win
because i was hoping to go into tier 3/4 4/5 battles to destroy some noobs but now i cant even last 2 minutes on my own
im so triggered
Ltwt or t44?
Should I buy the Ducker Max? Wanting to learn the Sturer Emil’s playstyle.
I have a tech tree question.... which way is better to get the T57 Heavy tank? The Chaffee branch or the T37 branch?
Ltwt
Is the 183 still worth it?
No
that's if you want a high risk camp with a high reward
Grille 15 got better camo than 183 now
Is it still fun to play? Lol
@regal zealot no they are quite different the max has pretty good mobility and alot more speed
Jag e 100 has better camo than FV 183?
What would restoring my KV-13 be related to? Premium vehicle restoration?
yes in a way, but you need to return the gold you got from selling it
you can get it back if you have the gold
2500 gold to get it back so you need to pay 10 dollars for it
Black Prince is good fun lol
FV201 is also fun and an amazing tank don't you think?
Are the Japanese tanks worth it?
kind of
Hmmm
New KV-2 gonna be T49 ATGM 2.0
With way better armor
And yet it isn't atgm
🤦
Since it has dispersion values
Will we be able to keep it.. probably not but hey guided missiles are fun.
Well guys, that's it, who has them to keep or sell them for gold
Nuuuu
uuuuN
uuNuu
uNuuu
uuuNu
UUnUU
What’s with the spam?
@dusky stone do not ask and continue with it
Nobody says you have to sell the Kuro. He still makes fun.
Guys What the Best Gun for Kv-1 ?
76mm or 85mm ?
The biggest one
@ocean mauve you crazy ... no one uses the derp gun on KV1
yes that one is the best
The derb gun has awful pen
I was grinding the IS-4 line so I bought the KV-1 then they linked the KV-1s with the line so I had to sell the KV-1 and buy the KV-1s and now I have no credits
About 40-50 k
@fallow venture ohh
OwO
@reef shale it's about i sold them, all this topic i posted up there was about they became collectors after 3 years of premium life to GUP Tanks and 2 years of premium life to Ultramarines
What is this thing?
A tank. 🙃
Yea when was it's event?
@modest tangle I see you 👀
Nothing happened.
And before anyone asks. I'm a CC I get early access to tanks, it's no hax and the tank is not released yet
Keep an eye in the news for more details
Oo video to be released soon?
Soon yes
"is Chrysler K worth the hype?"
Atm I'm not allowed to talk about the tank itself
Right
But it's nothing like it was on pc
😂 😂 😂 @modest tangle check amaunets server #spam section
I watch yer vids pretty regularly so I'll just have to wait and see lol
😊
Btw congrats on breaking 5 digits
Thank you mate
Maybe you'll be a co-host in the next twister lol
Wg should add the TOG III
Was there even a TOG III?
I don't know was there a 59 patton
@solid gate Well, at least now you know.
The Chinese did combine a bunch of American and Russian tanks cuz it's what they had
@modest tangle so you're the dude playing in the screenshot?
That's me yes
Is it OP @fallow venture
I don't think I can say much, I died in the first 2 minutes
Got rushed by a med and a heavy then flanked by another heavy
But I do think it's an awesome side scraber Meadsy was side scraping most of the time I saw him
@velvet haven that's all I can say
:)
I guess I just did what you couldn't do, right? @modest tangle
I might add you in the game but that doesn't matter
Have a nice day :)
Good to know, what's your other account?
Meadsy69 lol
@modest tangle Which server ur playing?
@modest tangle ohh
@modest tangle what clan?
-gpa-
396 mastery badges
64+% win rate,
I feel like an absolute noob just looking at your profile
@fallow venture Dude, don't say that to urself man
@raven socket my wr is 47.14%
@fallow venture then that's fine
It's avg
Mine has alrdy gone down to 42.24%
I think avg wr is 48%
Sickening for me
I have seen many 46-50% players carry the battle
Awesome
I'm ready for insults
@raven socket nah
@modest tangle I love your intro on youtube ... its so relaxing
Sometimes it's just the team that destroys your win rate @raven socket
In my case, I rush too fast and die early in most games... Just like that one I had with Meadsy
I'm already 24 and alrdy hv a girlfriend but still behave like a kid
@fallow venture Ohh
I was in an ISU-152... I managed to hit three shells before I die so I guess I did something
My IS-2 ( 1945 ) was totally gonna get wrecked becoz bad players destroyed my tank pretty badly
I dont think you should look at your overall stats at all, 30days is way morr accurate
Yeah, it’s better to check that 30 days stats on BlitzStars
Long time don't hv premium usage anymore
If you find yourself dying first or under 1minute try startiing the battle 20s later
I'm lost
IS-2 (1945) can it shoot better than IS or IS fired pretty well than IS-2 (1945) ?
They arw pretty much the samw
It’s gun handling is comparable to the standard IS, but that hull is better than the IS itself
They’re totally different tanks for different roles
One relies on being hulldown, while the other is a meatshield, like the Maus
The IS-3 is a breakthrough tank with a rock solid turret. Hull is pretty decent against tier VIIs, but don’t expect it to hold against the tier VIIIs and IXs. It’s also pretty mobile for a HT
The KV-4 on the other hand requires you to maximize its armor like angling and sidescraping. Its gun is quite good at hitting, although not as hard as a typical 122mm gun.
Drac isn’t Op
Ohh
Anyways, if you want to grind both tier Xs of both lines, I suggest you to start with the IS-7 line first. Unless you want to play the tier IX ST-I with the 122mm gun with 175mm of pen. That’s laughable at tier VIII, but utterly useless at tier X
But is-7 is trash
Not really trash, just outshined by the IS-4
That’s true. It’s still good
i mean in a facehug scenario the e100 probaby wins
Is 5k damage A lot of Patton?
It’s good either way.
It’s not too huge, but you pulled your weight through
Wait, which Patton?
If it’s the 59-Patton, that’s an achievement.
If it’s the M46 or the M48, that’s pretty decent.
guys did the kv 4 price just go up to 72k?
Yes
awwww man...the gun is still 44k. Not fair man.
F
Gotta grind with the stock 107mm or the 122mm C:
I'm on the IS-4 grind and still on the KV-1s but when I played against KV-3 in other tanks, it really seemed like an easy pen
Even up front
They are exposing their front. Their specialty is in their sidescraping potential. Turret’s bouncy enough, but the hull front must be protected at all costs
honestly the russian tier 7s kind of suck
@quasi mirage abit
they have bad pen bad gun handling etc, mediocore armor with horrible mobility or bad armor with ok mobility
@quasi mirage I agree, the IS is easy to fight
the aiming time is way too long
Slightly.
IS with the 100mm gun is a true medium hunter while the KV-3 is just a bunker
if you want a medium hunter you go for the tiger with like tier 8 medium dpm and hp with a bit more armor but less mobility
@fallow venture kv 3 has teh same weak spot as teh kv 1 after getting its turret. so yeah anyone cna pen it in that small gap
@quasi mirage Yea. Same as my tier 7 IS and IS-2 ( 1945 ) I was wanting KV-3 as my next tier 7 heavy tank
like against a tiger p you can't win with the IS/kv3 . You take like 3 years to aim and he gets like 2 shots by then
@quasi mirage but later it gets much better right?
is3 is great coz god like dispersion values for turret
however the kv4 is useless rn coz of vk 100p. Better hull armor,slightly worse side armor but has russian bias side armor despite being german. Better alpha with only a bit lower dpm. Its slower forward speed but the kv4 usually only goes 25 kmh anyway. Also traverse is better on vk 100 and so is reverse speed.. Also vk can snapshot unlike the kv4
@quasi mirage Yea so that's why i like the IS-3 more than the KV-4
Compare World of Tanks: Blitz tanks. WOTB tank compare including equipment and provisions.
just compare the vk and kv4. the only advantages kv4 has is the faster reload negated by better alpha. Also first shot alpha of vk makes dpm the same
I think that the KV-4’s still viable, even with the advent of the Vk 100.01 P
also kv4 weakspot turret is on center while vk is side oriented
vk has better mobility than kv4
@quasi mirage VK 100.01 ? Or the Vk 45.02
lol of course the vk 100.01. The vk 45 is an inferior is3. They should just give it unnerfed tiger P dpm. Make it a dpm machine that actually can kill meds
@quasi mirage oh
like the vk100 has really good gun handling for such a big gun
VK 100.01 's armour almost looks like the E 50 tier IX heavy tank
meanwhile kv4 has garbage gun handling for a medium size gun
sure the kv4 has better accuracy but it takes like 6 seconds for that
The weakspot on the KV-4 can be angled, unlike the Vk’s circular one.
The tank heavily relies on sidescraping and angling to work. I’ve never had issues with the KV-4’s gun handling. The Vk’s tho, it just doesn’t want to hit
dude thats your problem. The vk is clearly better. .07 better gun dispersion on move and half a sec better aim time
Same for you about the KV-4
I remember tier VII has one VK but it's premium so i don't remember the name. And i am old already
no th ekv4 has garbage gun handling .25 is garbage with 3 sec aim time
im using stats you are using personal anecdotes
like the IS tanks have the same on move /traverse but way better for turret. Kv4 has garbage all around
You’ve driven one before?
yes ive driven the kv4 is3,is5 and vk 100p
the vk gun handling is godlike for a tier 8 heavy
Prefer the KV-4’s for reliability
its hardly more reliable. Literally no where is more reliable besides final sniiping accuracy
you are just using personal anecdotes
God forbid there be a lemon in a Russian line! Somebody better fix that quick!
I mean the kv4 is useless to the vk 100p besides long term relocation and sniping
the vk cant be circled either. I get like 55 degrees of combined traverse with 15 kmh reverse speed
Personal anecdotes or not, that’s my opinion on the matter, I prefer the KV-4 over the Vk 100.01 P
KV-4 is a great tank, love that thing, reason I got myself a KV-5
I'm in the IS right now, and I find it's decent when you know how to play heavies.
i mean stats literally prove the kv4 has been powercreeped. Id argue its needs a buff. Preferably an aim time buff. It only does 320 alpha not 400. It should be able to snapshot
In the right hands, the KV-4 can be a formidable opponent, while the Vk excels so well simply because of how easy it is to play. I can’t deny that, but that’s a bit boring IMO
KV-Fortress
I mean both tanks have a ceiling due to the lack of mobility. I don't myself going above my other tier 8 tanks but the relative play style is so simple. its just wiggle or sidescrape and not get circled which you can't get circled by a medium(although some lights could do it). Its also much tougher to track the vk 100
but what abt the higher kv's after kv 4 liek the is 4 and st I
st1 is solid with better gun handling IMO and great turret armor.
because it's a tier 9
yeah but the kv4 has garbage gun handling for a 107
They’re rock solid. ST-I is unique in a sense that it’s a gun depression tank, unique for a Russian HT
I never had a problem with KV-4 gun handling
im sorry but I did and the stats show it is garbage. Worst aim time,bad dispersion on the move and turret is also bad unlike the IS tanks. ALl of it is for a measly 320 dmg.
It does have the best pen and premium pen amongst the two tanks
again the ap pen is minuscule although the premium is a decent idfference
Any tank can be good in the right situation. Except the tier 4 frech premium TD, thats just a turd.
That’s just a horrible tank all round. The tier III’s good though
Though that tier IV French TD is still part of the tech tree
atleas tthey reduced the xp to get to tier 5.
At least I still have my UE 57
Yeah.
But you should stick to your guns till you finish your grind on the tier VI. People say that the tier VI is trash too
yeah it kind of is
do you think i should spend my silver to unlock kv1s or upgrade my equipent to tier3 on my US T34?
Hopefully by tier VII, the lines become more streamlined and easier to play as the assault tank role
@turbid imp only buy the Vertical Stabilizers, no need for the other two level 3 equipment
guys suggestions. on the kv 3 shud i grind for the 19k gun or directly for the kv 4 (i have every other module)
That 19k gun is what? The D-25T? Grind that gun just in case
That gun is used on a lot of tanks
but if you go for ST-I do the IS-3 before you do so you don't have to use a 175mm pen get at teir 9
Yep
yup its the 122mm d25t
alright i have 7k rn so i guess i'll get that first then the kv 4
Grind that just in case. Good DPM for the KV-4, though I used the stock 107mm for grinding
I just had a shiet ton of free exp I had stocked up from boosters
imo they shud have reduced the cost for the zis 24 of the kv 4 after increasing its price
btw im tlaking aBT THE KV 3 HERE NOT THE KV 4
oops caps didnt mean to
I know
This is just consideration when you want to start your KV-4 grind
hmm so ur saying d25t then kv4?
yes
hmm the kv4 grind gonna be painful cuz 72k xD. Anyways the d25t is a dpm right
how much dmg per shot?? with ap.
Yes, the D-2-5T doesn’t provide much DPM compared to the D-25T
yea its alpha as u said before
Both 107s do 320 alpha while the 122s do 400
hmm
for a premium tank you should buy all the equipment. You would play hundreds of battles in that
i dont have enough gold to spend xD
Even the tracks and consumable equipment? That seems a bit wasteful
not a in premium/tier ten
New favorite tank armored car in wot: Panhard EBR 105
@quasi mirage ur right im quite a noob currently thats why i am asking u guys for tips ^_^
for a grind tank of course not lol But premium/tier ten + favorite tanks
im just saying get free xp @unique spear
wait for a 5xp event and use your boosters and you get like 1.5k xp per game
Also, you know the premium account certificates? The 1 hour ones are the most valuable ones.
They bring the best bang for buck. Using the 9hr or the 24hr ones are pretty wasteful
Alright, gtg sleep too. Gn!
@regal zealot @regal zealot @regal zealot @regal zealot @regal zealot
I got all the chocolate for that thing. Stock gun, got my reload to 13.3. It could really used a mildly buffed reload..
I'm looking forward to the next gun for more pen/alpha, but my reload...
The reload on a topgun VK100 whit 50% crew is 20sec+
Oh no
yeah stock sucks vk
I've only got a 85% crew...
it has the same dpm as the t150
75%crew is an wonder happen the tank was fun
I had 75 crew but infinite free xp basically thx to 5xp events. I just went for the gun and engine
I already have the engine, just need the gun
noob42#9237 was muted
Gg

F
And hi Paikkonen
Any suggestions for making this thing more bearable to drive?
Free XP
Okay yeah but I'm saving it up for future grinds
dude its ez to grind it
@stable parcel all i know from clan members is to choose one direction and go that way
The tank is still great. Dont camp or you never make dmg
wait for a 5xp event and using boosters
@pine mason yep
Who camps in an heavy?
I'm gonna be honest, I'm too used to the Tiger P
but u just yolo
@solid gate 40% of all players i guess
Rushing tds and camp mefs, heavys and lights
I could move, block damage, and fire shells at a speed that doesn't suggest that the loader is a turtle
@devout shadow that’s sadly true
@stable parcel but you have 2 turtle loader
OOF
Have any of you played IS3-defender in a double platoon - if not IT IS AWESOME , you will like it!!!
I have played where i had the is-3 to cover when he was reloading and he was using the defender
@stark hatch not as fun if you double defender you can just eliminate enemies without giving a dam about it
Hey how to hulldown correctly
Nobody ? ok..
how about hiding your hull for starters
What hulldown?
In an effective Hulldown scenario, the only thing you show your opponents is your turret. Try in training rooms on various maps with your vahicles of choice to figure out what coverpoints on the map provide optimal cover to hide everything but your turret from the enemy. A great tank for this is the T29 (It is pretty much inpenetrable turretwise)
Oke
Never go to the city 🤦♂️
@solid gate what are you a blitz expert ?
Do what you like buddies don't let these experts tell you what to do
You will easily find hull down positions in that one map with the train (I don't remember its name)
City is where tanks go to lose. Don't go city.
City is horrible for tanks with low armour and depend on gun depression but good for hull down tanks and side scrapers
A tank that is effective in the city can be almost if not just as effective out of the city. Going city takes your team into a corridor fight brawl that many tanks and players are simply unprepared for.
Going city is the last resort as far as I'm concerned.
Even if you have 5 degrees gun depression you can poke the side of a hill and be hull down
And tanks with bad gun depression generally have the strongest turrets
Something like the WZ-120 has 3 degrees of gun depression... How do you intend to use that in non-urban environment... A small rock on the ground can literally make your reticle go all the way up
Back up a hill to point your tank down, poke the side of a hill, peek a boom from behind a rock, use the terrain to hide your small profile and get behind, then shoot HE into an American tank's weak bum, etc etc
or maybe even find a divot in the ground
Calling town because 2/7 of your team can effectively fight there is a selfish move that generally sets the the team up for failure.
But going on a lemming train the other side isn’t better imho
yeah tell me how an american tank with a somewhat strong turret and a weak easily penned hull is supposed to do to help you in a town lol
yes
ah yes be every map is Himmelsdorf lol
we need the hill
I hate dynasty more than Himmelsdorf yeah
true
Btw I never said the American heavies should go town in every map
weirdly I enjoy Faust
Let's move this to #maps-discussion
Faust is a good map. It doesn’t disadvantages any tank type
its not that bad tbh
@solid gate I wasn't replying to you, I was commenting on the guy talking about what a bad gun depression tank was supposed to do in hills
i don't know for sure
In general yes
@solid gate he was talking about bringing like a WZ-120 to the hills, when like an M103 in the city would be every bit as bad
Ah I understand
#maps-discussion ...
I fight on ridgelines in my strv 74a2
He thinks that 3 degrees of gun depression means hills are useless because he doesn't know how playing bad gun depressions stuff works
Ah
Nah
It's painful but it in no way makes hills useless
Hills are better
The maus prefers towns, but that's about it
yeah
Maus prefers cheese and heat rounds
and being that nothing else should be in towns, the Maus shouldn't either
I prefer to fight in towns with my light tanks i dont like driving so quickly
Maus has good gun depression though
Maus hull down is the same as maus hull up
It can angle its turret
Does that change what I said?
I love my maus. It is my favorite tier 10
Should I reclaim t28htc, edelweiss, or nameless?
T28 HTC
Nameless
So.... I have a quick question..... how good is the Kuro Mori Mine for t6 tourneys?
Bad
I sold Kuro Mori Mine andd bought IS5 crap. Tiger 2 is still be best heavy at tier 8.
bit confused.... did you just compare a t6 heavy (arguably a Heavium) to a tier 8?
@wraith depot The Tiger 2? Really? Are you sure about that?
Yes!
also from my own experience playing tier 8 it seems like the Tiger 2 is kind of meh
I think your definition of "best" may be different than ours...😆
not terrible.... but not great
Best heavy at tier 8 is vk 100 atm
I played Tiger 2 before the Vk100 got released
I don't play heavies but based on my experience the Lowe, T34, VK.100, IS-5, IS-6, and IS-3 are all far more effective than a Tiger2
from what I've seen it seems like for tech tree heavies the Tiger 2 is kind of the weakest of them.... save for the VK 4502 A
VK 45 A is an abomination
maybe if they are being played poorly .-.
Yeah... I'm not seeing it.
Depend on the player in the is3/5 my guy
I missed with Is5 a shot from 100 meters fully aimed at T34.... just hoowwww
@solid gate are you Diablo3333?
you don't use heavies like them to snipe or to brawl against tanks with better DPM you use them in peek-a-boo style whenever possible
No. I'm....
Wait for it....
SpartacusDiablo
@ancient iron that's old thinking. You use tanks in whichever way you need them to
Tiger 2 is the best. 8.8cm German quality good accurate gun
Who puts an 88 on a tiger 2 tf
I fear a well driven Lowe far more than a well driven Tiger 2.
Oh I mean 10.5
Tiger 2 is also not very mobile, extremely tall, and compared to the others kind of an easy pen tbh.... .-.
And the Tiger 2 is soft. I can just heat spam through the upper plate. Tiger 2 isn't a threat.
Sidescrape!
Then I'll flank it.
Then have fun with tiger 2s gun
😂 👌
Not worried about a Tiger 2. Hell even a T32 is more of a threat because at least he can hull down well.
I have one
I think a well driven Tiger 2 is about as rare as unicorn farts.
I can play it well
Tiger 2 is against meds and lights much better than a IS5
I think the tiger 2 is just too old.... it can't really compete that well these days
@ancient iron. You just nailed it.
Maybe I should push my stats in tiger 2. It was my first tier 8 tank and after grinding i sold it
Of course he can they admired him bad at the start when you buy it but when it's finished ohhhhmggg
It has been power creeped and is simply not very competitive any more.
Armored*
tbh if I want something with the hull of a Tiger 2 to play at tier 8 I'd play the Jag 8,8 (using the upgraded gun because that 8,8 cm isn't really all that good)
it has a much more clearly defined role in the meta.... second line sniper support in tier 9, and can be used as front line support, if planned well, in tier 8
@ancient iron plus the mastery bar is lower than most. One in four games in the Jag 8.8 for me has a happy meal at the end (M).
happy meal
whats a good tank for new players like me?thats good for credits n stuff and mabye one good prenium to buy
Take a good old KV -220 t
If it's not in the shop take Fv201 (A45
It's easy to handle and it's good in reload
where the shop page?if i may ask
In game on your R up and shop
How new are you exactly
New new I think
Please dont buy high tier prems if you have only touched like sub tier five
I suggest not buying a premium first. Get some experience with the game first. You are not going to make many credits as you most likely will struggle if you skip to the higher tiers
@solid gate
and btw what is the kv220 i looked for it and i have no clue where it is?jsut curious
It's not even in the shop you can buy it only if there is an offer
It's good for New players
It's good for training and see what DMG and kind of game WoT Blitz. Do you play Warthunder?
i might try it out
Warthunder?
So what are some good Heaviums for tier 6 tourneys?
the clan I am in tends to not get enough players for tier 8 or tier 10.... so we tend to do 6.... but I can't figure out which heavium to use (it's my prefered style) I have the VK P and Kuro.... but idk if they'd necessarily be good as heaviums .-.
also we had a battle on Monday where everyone on our team was in a KV-2.... I can try to find the replay and drop it in the replay channel it was f-ing hilarious
we lost..... hard..... but worth it for the laughs
Okay
I don't have the replay still :/ played 50 battles since then
A good heavie is the T-34-45 fast good pen and armour
Ops heavie med*
Arl 44
Best français in game
Comet may have been power creeped but it is still very competitive and good hulldown
why is this deleting my emssages?!
there;s a slowmode thing, if you send too quickly it will delete them automatically.... .-.
Or too many upper case letters
@solid gate. All caps or cursing will autodelete.
@raw perch. Is it necessary to test it?
uhh
The correct answer is no
yeah thats what i ment
You need more it's like a good 16 letters straight of caps and it deletes, try 20 caps
M3lee is da worst tank ever
I like it. Good gun, decent traverse, quite mobile too
It just looks ugly, that’s all.
So how is this look for my TOG? I call her HMS Good Vibes (Here is a cookie if you get the joke.... 🍪 ) I mention her, and show a screen cap mostly because I wanted to discuss the TOG.... so does anyone like playing the tog for the sake of battle rather than for memes?)
Bit of both. Tog is a great meme, but also pretty fun. As long as you don't go up against a team of 3-4 derps.
if you look closely, you can see a face on the camo
Is this the face you speak of?
He looks smug
The tog is a fun tank I've had it awhile and I love it
I love the tog 2 on xbox
ltwt means light weight!!!
😮
:/
is t95e2 good?
KV-2 with calibrated shells is also fun :))))))))
@ancient iron monday was 5.6
@real jay what is calibrated shells?
I'd rather use gun rammer
I can't hit most of my shots, so I'd prefer the next shell in as soon as possible
Is the badger ever going to be a thing in this game? @frigid ember
@vocal seal go to #general-blitz-discussion and put a thinking face emoji
Probably
Maybe @vocal seal
good
i hope so
And add the FV4005 II
Muhahahaha
yeah boiiii
Charioteer 🌚
Archer
add arty🙃
Charioteer is my bae on PC
I want the spaghetti 65
No
We have the 183 and people are already complaining @vocal seal
i know
@inland osprey r/whoooosh
Bigger guns gets bigger nerfs
But they can replace the 183 with the Badger and add the 4005
I'm conflicted, I want the Charioteer and Conway, but I don't want a second 183 in the game.
I'd rather see a FV4005 and a FV215B 183 in a game rather that two FV215B 183
@solid gate Calibrated shells increase your penetration
I need my t14 to have better dispersion
Will this tank have those decals? Coz is really cute with them
you know that tank's already in the game right
it's in a bundle that shows up for new accounts
It looks cute
@honest delta I think it's 5 dollars and comes with a week of premium and 250 gold, if I remember correctly
su 122 44 .when I play solo 90% games play whit tier 8...in platoon whir other tier 7 ,90% games im top tier...dont see logic
@keen mantle ok, thx anyway
Jesus for collectors is supposed to be in credits in offer tab
@little stirrup it is match maker mistery
@covert scroll actually is T-70/57
Yeah
heyy everyone its me again! The annoying dude who asks too many questions and is a noob!!! How's everyone doin!?
Crossing my fingers for another offering for the Type 62 in Chinese New Year
hmm alright
i find it harder to deal with the su 152 tbh
also is it just me or i had 5 matches continuos with 1k dmg nd my avg dmg went up only by 13?
ISU is fun tank big boom
see that best answer to this question for you is to get both. Which I suggest you do
@unique spear
Also if you have a high amount of games with low damage then of course its not gonna increase much only because if 5 games.
true
@dry notch. Why I'm the world did you pass on it last time???
Saved my gold for the Cheiftan Mark 6. It was worth it.
The last day i picked up the 8,500 gold chest at a reduced price in hopes that the Chinese New Year would bring it back. I figure a $22 Cheiftan wouldnt happen again but a well priced Type 62 would happen again soon.
Fair enough. All I can say is man you are missing out, the Type 62 is a riot and a half!
T34 is good tank ?
Yep
Chieftain Mk 6 is a medium, change my mind
Hevium
Helsing titled as "tank destroyer", acts like everything
while T26E4 isn't like a typical med, too slow and thicc frontial turret.
While E 25 was designed as a light and E 50 as an heavy
Helsing cant be played as td
Its not reliable doin that
You'll hit the first shot
Is it reliable then?
2nd is a wild guess
I never said reliable.
Just said that it can be played like a TD
Eheh you can play a PZ I C as a td
Camping means play like td?. That make Sans to me
Please stop.
Sans you've joined everything went down hill.
Just don't be to sans-itive about it
Yes i can stop. But i won't do that
My puns are a real Sansation 😂
Sans good to me
At least those puns won't triggered some sansitive issues.
You think so, but I sometimes Sans salt from people
Yea it make sans when you sans free salt from people that's really sansitive.
I’m out of Sans puns !

Yes good tanks with good frontal armor good mobility good fire rate but don’t get circled because side armor is bad and also gun depression is low
Like 8.1 secs with 100% crew and rammer
Be careful to taller tanks because they can shoot directly your engine deck
Ok
is the Chrysler already added?
Nope
Supertest
I thought that was a separate server tbh
Idk
WG just give the tank to ppl so they can finalize the balance
Ah yes the famous "balance"
The cough « balance »
It seemed really fast
So it's gonna be a premium, which sadly isn't much of a surprise
I will DW2 Back in the game Where too like this
I am German ok chill i am not so good in English
@solid gate what are you trying to say? Can you try to word it better?(your first message)
Are you saying you want the dw2 back in the game?
Why are you being so harsh dude
Was the tier 4 brit valentine removed or a collectible tank ?
I believe it became a collector tank @abstract harbor
Unsure. Sorry.
If you like fast rof tank with little armour then go for it.
I decided to instead get the T34 because big ol' f-you gun
the amx 13 90 is a hard tank for me
its damage per minute is horriable
and got its more of a he magnet than the ru
what are the recommended equipment for T34? >.>
sa
Advice on Obj. 704?
The skorpion is about the gun, other than that HE will pen you and take big chunks of hitpoints off you
I was playing against it in an ISU-152 and how satisfying it was dealing about 900+ damage with HE
The fact you still get ads and have bought stuff
Well usually people lose the ads after purchasing something
Yea in the games that depend on ads, WoTB doesn't depend on ads
In some games you have to watch an ad to do something to keep going, you don't need that in WoT
I don't think it's any problem
I don't either.
I just wish i got ads. Never got them even before i started buying stuff.
A lot of the people though will getting ads after they buy something (even if they only used the gold from the ads). So you've gotten stuff AND still get to watch ads for free gold makes me a tad jealous.
To be clear I'm not bashing you or wg
1.... probably not the right area to talk about ads since this is vehicle discussion.... .-. and 2..... wait there are ads you can watch for gold?
Some people have then yes
It was already in the game but got removed @ancient iron
which servers do you all play on? (that could be why some have it and others don't) .-.
also is the armour improving equipment useful on any tanks or just always useless? >.>
I am on NA and don't have it so it might be a limited run thing .-.
I hate the bdr so much
What do you think about this tank?
That's cowboy driving an Ankylosaurus and using a lazer bazooka, a green tophat and a anormal skin in the dinosaur
What do you think about it?
How much gold did the su-76 sell for?
@flint igloo not sure. Forgotten already
@flint igloo I don't think it's much cuz it was a tier 3
@ancient iron armour improving equipment can be useful. On most heavies of course you run it. But on some meds/light i also run it instead of HP. Specially if it boost armour value enough to stop HE shells at places in my lights. the chance to not recieve full dmg on HE hitting you always trumps the 100 more HP in my opinion.
The Chrysler K is now in the shop- 17-15.000 Gold - who need it?
i wouldnt even buy it for 5k. i'd take if for free cuz its a prem but i'd never buy it
nerf 100.01P next patch its still overperforming
Vk issnt op
You just not good ernoug
The gun issnt the best, 🚮
No speed ➡
No traverse speed 🔄
Much weak spots
U think turret is not penetrable?
I think vk have 5 spots
Um, two typical weakspots. Hatch and lower plate.
Turret ring is a weakspot, but pretty tough to hit. The cheeks are small too.
Idk the english word, but it have the same weakspot like maus
Left and right from gun is a small weakspot
Cheeks
Idk
The armor besides the gun mantlet of the Maus and it’s subsidiaries are known as cheeks @devout shadow
Ah
Oh boy op PC tank comes to Blitz
The Chrysler is totally differnet on blitz no worries @crude sorrel, also the vk is not OP.
O
They balanced the tank based on the game, aswell since we have a different prammo mechanics it not OP like PC. Still a strong tank though
Me want then
Sure, 15k gold.. and its all yours lol
Only reason why im holding. Back in buying it. I already got to many tier 8 hevaies. And 15k is a quite costly
Never mind then!
FCM 50 t gud tenk
I like my FCM more than CDC, more reliable with it's armor
CDC has hella good gun handling on the move
yeah, it was originally designed as a TD, it's made for support
Wot
yeah, for example: look at the FCM 50 t gun, it's the DCA 45, then look at the AMX CDC's gun, it's the AC DCA 45, and if you look at the French TD's their guns also have AC in their gun description, and Chasseur de chars (CDC) translate into 'Tank Hunter' in French
Huh
I had to do some research to make sure I was right, don't wanna give out false information
Does anyone else think the E 50 M need a legendary skin or is it just me?
yeah, that'd be pretty cool
yeah, but then you can end up giving people the wrong idea about the E 50 M, more than just ramming
I know but it will look nice in the end so.
Chinese medium or heavies? What's better
You are way better off going for heavies first
you get modules for the mediums, which are hard to grind
or get free xp nub/s
So yeah what the heck is this thing
tier 7 kv2
Future
Whoever was complaining about VK 100.01 this is for you
@spare forge I like the logo in the left bottom corner "made with mematic"
Custom watermark requires paying money
You people don’t deserve that luxury in my memes
we truly don't
Funny I add my own watermarks for free
Or you failtooned
Yea im a nuhb
Aand i sayed the n word again
I don't like the Chrysler K.
Wish i could get a refund.
To late
RIP my IS-2SH because of Chrysler K
IS-2SH has still way better gun, smaller profile, and sides aren’t flat
Earth issnt flat 🙄
You have better pen and a much better engine deck than the Chrysler
Oh wait u mean tanks ok the tank side is flat lmao
You see the crazy stuff flat earthers believe @devout shadow ?
Yes bcz Chrysler K sides are flat as hell
I saw a 🍩 formed earth 😐
I saw « earth doesn’t exist »
I listen to a Podcast and they were talken about flat earthers one time and one of the three said "force them to march to the ends of earth"
@dark socket hold a sec
Triforce?
@dark socket https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUhjF0k10WbNf-t1244XkxA here are some good flat earth debunking videos
ik it's not flat
but turns out flat Earthers believe the Earth ends in a giant ice wall that keeps the water from spilling over
like it's Ice age or something
and if you try to approach it and I quote "the UN will turn you back with their vast fleet of ships"
Earth discussion #off-topic-discussion (before mods strike)
man, I didn't notice that, and I don't like typing about something in one chat to another so I'm just not gonna finish
@spare forge the vk 100p has too good traversse IMO for such a super heavy
I want BT-42 as a hybrid nation tank with Finnish crew voices ;-;
I concur with u @tawdry sphinx
VK 100.01 P : Has a Terrible Lower Plate
Players: don’t aim for lower plate
VK 100.01 P: Bounces shot
The lower plate sucks on the VK unless it's somehow angled and you're in a light tank... Not an easy pen then
Wait, you’re saying it’s hard for a light tank to pen a superheavy from the front?
Pfft
@spare forge I was talking about the lower plate not the entirety of the front
Have you heard of this thing called flanking?
That doesn’t always work, but then again players like me exist so it may
And aiming
@spare forge I'm talking about the possibility of penning
Load gold lol
I don't use gold @hot tendon
It's also generally not alone
Dab the 2 key
You shouldn’t pen a superheavy frontally so idk why this topic is being brought up
^
Only td and other super heavies should be able to
Either aim with gold or flank. It’s not that hard
You can pen the lower plate of the VK in some meds and heavies @spare forge
