Guys, an important question.
Does anyone of you know how high the probibility for the Loza to catch on fire is? [Blitz Hangar doesn't have that statistic]
My idea was:
Diesel engines were popular for the soviets not only because it was cheaper but also because diesel didn't burn as easy as gasoline. So what I was wondering is;
Does the Loza have a lower probibility of catching on fire in comparison to the M4A3E8? Because the M4A3E8 has a gasoline driven engine. I thought that was an interesting question.
[Tag me please]
bright folio
Blitz stars tank compare doesn’t have that either.
deep ivy
I just wanted to say a couple of things.
For the last couple of months people have been crying for spg shells on the KpfPz. They say it is historically accurate and it improves a pretty bad tank. I cannot see how this is done, so please bear with me on this
First it requires an idiotic change in game dynamics. The game developers have probably build all the game dynamics into files and interconected all the files with eachother. The shell files all use drag as to slow down the shells after they left the barrel. To implement SPGs they would have to either completely take away drag or implement propulsion coefficient to shells. The work that goes into it doesnt stack up to the income the tank brings. We should be happy the tank is in the game at all.
Secondly about the bad tank part. The KpfPz is an awesome tank. It has a similar playstile as most heavy turret tanks. Keep the hull down and troll with your completely red turret. Even tier 10 tanks struggle to penn or hit it. That turret has an incredibly small profile. It is just how you use it
And to get to the most important argument: historically correct.
Blitz is far from historically correct. All hetzers that survived their first year of service had been refitted with what people here call the derp gun. That gun was removed from the game after it became to op, and hetzers armor was nerfed. It is not historically correct in any way now. Same goes for tiger. It was historically a great tank. T-34s of any type couldnt penn its frontal armor. In the game I once did a training room. A stock T-34 penned its frontal from the other side of the map.
The battles arent historically correct either. There are many tanks in wotb that never existed: Hetzer Kame, Anko, Kuro Mori, Dracula, Helsing, Lycan, Vindicator...
And in real life the battles werent perfectly balanced 7 vs 7. You had battles of 3 tier 5s vs 7 tier 7s and so on. So dont talk about accyracy please
rigid thunder
Btw just saying, a stock T-34 with the 76mm can only pen a tiger through the cupola, which it should be able to do irl
karmic field
A bit ranty, but fairly accurate. Well said.
Historical accuracy is more of a goal, then a reality. They try to keep as much historical accuracy as they can, without making it imbalanced as all hell. Also, selling the hybrid tanks makes the game more interesting, and a lot of those tanks are very aesthetically pleasing, and sell very well with players that love their original content owners (GuP fans, Warhammer fans, lovers of the Dracula folktale, etc. sort of things)
rigid thunder
The anko SP and Kuro Mori Mine are merely reskins of actual tanks, the anko being a Pz IV h and the kuro being a Tiger H1 with the E variant roadwheels and cupola
The tiger is a great tank, sure, but that was against Soviet 45mm/76mm guns, British 2pdr guns and American 75mm guns. Put the tiger against those tanks in game and they'll struggle to do any damage reliably
solid gate
He does mean ATGMs and not spg shells right?
rigid thunder
Yeah, most likely, unless you want these "SPG" shells to have a max travel distance of 250m
solid gate
It’s either that or he has no idea what’s wrong with the kpz 70
rigid thunder

As for historically correct blitz never intended to be historically correct it intended to face off tanks that existed in similar eras against each other and these “fake tanks” bring more variety into the game whether you buy them they still present more challenges to face instead of the same boring old tanks
deep ivy
Ok. I need some help. I can get myself another tier 10. On the list are: WZ-113, T110E4, T110E5, M48 Patton, VK 72.01 K, E 50 M, Leopard 1, IS-7 and FV215b. My favorite tanks are heavies and I like badger, but got really dissapointed by the 183 with its world size dispersion and impossible bounces (an ap shell on a target without a single dot of red ricochets because it fires to quickly)
And some mediums are also verry likable like the AMX 30 B and T-22

The 215b and E50M are the best out of the bunch, the 113 is also even better after its recent buff

but, it’s definitely more reliable and consistent. however consistent and reliable a derp gun can be lol

Unlike tanks like Centurions 7/1 which has to get a redundant gun, and then the turret for the top gun, Leopard PTA which can be HE'd from any angle, or Stock E 50 Which starts like a stock Tiger II in tier 9, Patton has it good being able to immediately get the top gun

Hi guys! relatively new, played WoT on and off over the years but looking to get deeper into it. For equipment, what are some common things to consider? I picked things that sound good based on the tank type but I am sure by now there are general consensus for what is good per type.
tulip sail
tbh it really depends on the tank itself and how you plan on using it
lament swallow
right now I tend to favor the TD (though I have read they are now out of meta?) looking to do some grinding with the StuG III G. I do move with the pack but try to stay in the back or areas I can get a good lane of vision.
tulip sail
As a td main it still depends on the tank as a t28 HTC is vastly different from an m36 Jackson also nice pfp
And I wouldn't say the td is out of the meta
lament swallow
yea it's just what I read about as one of the more recent posts (within 2019). Finding any updated info is hard. most content is from several years ago. What would you suggest for the StuG? it's T5 German.
wise moth
@lament swallow Are you talking about loadout?
Or gameplay tips?
lament swallow
well I suppose tips are always welcome! only have about 88 games under my belt so trying to figure out stuff still. My main question though I am seeking is just about the equipment loadout. You have 3 tiers with combat power vitality and specialization. I picked what I generally think would be accurate for what I want to do and for the tank I am in, but being realtively new, I am hoping someone might be able to assist or educate me about any alternative choices that may be better than what I made.
tulip sail
It's got good pen so I'd say gun rammer, right side for the middle camo net
Shells, hp ,right side
Vertical stabilizer
The other two dont seem to do much
lament swallow
ah okay, and dispersion, I assume that's the fire spread?
also, why hp? i have tended to pick armor increase, 4% though doesn't seem much, but I figure, 4% or about 30 hp increase probably mitigate about the same.
wise moth
@lament swallow Here's my equipment/provisions/consumable/ammo loadout
lament swallow
dang that's definitely some grind in that account.
solid gate
@wise moth pro camo xdxd
royal charm
I see ur a man of culture as well
lament swallow
well i had some the same and some different lol, I guess one of the big areas of choice is the hp vs armor. 4% doesn't add a lot and when you are low armor is probably hardly worth it, then again if you are low armor and you get hit for 150 a shot, does the 30 hp really matter?
I also assume that Dispersion has to do with the fire spread.
royal charm
@wise moth u have notifications
solid gate
When T55A comeing @wise moth
wise moth
Dispersion is the radius of the aiming circle when fully aimed at 100M @lament swallow
It's just 1 of 3 main parameters that determine how "accurate" a tank is
The other 2 are:
- raw aim time, which is how long it takes for the tank to reduce its aim circle to 1/3 the maximum size from the maximum size
- Gun handling, which are the values that are added on to base dispersion upon moving the hull/traversing the hull/moving the gun and turret
lament swallow
oh dang that's really helpful thanks!
wise moth
@lament swallow Note that the "aim time" stat in the garage on Blitz is some weird combination of raw aim time/gun handling. For the raw aim time stat, (and the gun handling stats) go to an external website like tank-compare.blitzstars.com or blitzhangar.com
In the case of the equipment, refined gun drops the base dispersion, and vert stab drops the gun handling. For StuG, the gun handling is already excellent at .12/.12, and it's more of a sniper, so I prefer to run refined gun
@solid gate I got no clue. Possibly Winter Fair, but it will probably be overpriced then.
lament swallow
@wise moth is there a preference on which site is more accurate or both are good?
wise moth
Both have the same numbers
tank-compare is good for, well, comparing tanks; but Blitzhangar lets you see armor profiles

the 4005 is great, love it myself. Good camo (for some reason) with a high clip damage autoloader
it can also fit those broken consumables to allow it to have insane accuracy or really high speed. The spall liner will also help combat HE shells pretty decently

The 4005 can do everything the 183 can do, and better. It can RELIABLY deal that 1400, it's faster, it's gun is more accurate, and it's camo (if I recall) is better

The 183 has the worst camo ingame. The 123mm on the 4005 is surprisingly less accurate than what I expected

0.323 base dispersion (max food + vents) without refined gun, I personally use v stabs so I expose less of myself when attempting to aim. 0.323 is good but not pinpoint accurate like a 62a at 0.272

Just sidescrape like a typical heavy, engage in trades with enemy heavies since you have high alpha damage (460). Keep lower plate hidden at all times and either hide your cupola behind a wall while sidescraping, or move back and forth while sidescraping to make it a harder target and to bait shots
Side armour is also incredibly thick, so you can afford to peek corners at extreme angles to try and bait shots

Why kill the accuracy? it's already garbage. What made the tank op at the time was its really strong frontal armour profile, an accuracy nerf won't change the fact that it will dominate close quarters combat
junior path
Its armor profile is barely even changed XD, I find the gun more of a bother then the lower plate (which was still an easy pen before nerf, and the gun use to be be godlike for a heavy with high alpha). And if your getting penned in the hatch, shame on you staying out in the open too long, or without wiggling. Also sticking the gun up to block the hatch works amazing.
Pre nerf the lower plate could still be penned by tier 7s so I see no reason to complain about. It has one small square in the front compared to other heavies at its tier which have a whole lower plate as a frontal weak spot

yes you did indeed.
I just point that out to keep in mind.
9/10 HE on those ears will injure 1/2 crew member, and has a high chance to red out the gun

ISU has quite a good stock gun, it has huge alpha, 960 HE for the pesky lights, and 275 pen with HEAT. It can work and people will not expect you to be any threat with this gun, so that works for you too
I mean ofc it's no match for the top gun, but it can work far better than the stock guns of other tanks, like T28 with 198 pen 310 alpha etc
deep ivy
@narrow shadow not expecting danger? The moment I see an SU or ISU I try to kill it no mather what gun it carries
narrow shadow
It's still a priority target, but in a cqc , if the ISU has the stock gun people will often underestimate it and ISU will profit on this

If any td is in my sights I kill it. ISU particularly

There's probably an argument for the 122mm BL-9S being better than the stock 152mm gun, but neither of the other 122s are good.
However, that's 40k xp that most people don't care to spend.

The BL-9S is actually pretty good, it generally catches people off guard that you have good piercing power for a 122mm gun and you fire fast, but still the BL-10 is the whole point of the vehicle

Because I'm a light tank user so yeah need more concealment.
Well if you can't play lights pretty ease, you can always just frequently passive scouting and be a flanker or 2nd line support for meds.
That's all i mostly do when doing a stock grind on a light tank.
lament swallow
I have tried to be a scout but soon as I spot everyone I just get insta shot
glass relic
Your cupola and your gun mantlet viewport is the most cruical thing when spotting so you can always just peek out and let your commander cupola search for enemies.
But just go with the med and others light to just Wolfpack
lament swallow
okay ill try that thanks how do i do the cupola?
glass relic
It's fun when Wolfpacking with a platoon mates on a tank that have auto loader/reloader
Well ridges? And just.. find a comfy spot where you can always spots enemy coming

oh so it's not somethign i actively do

You can always let other teamate do the job
There'll be a chances for you to shine as a light tanks in mid/late game

@narrow shadow except ke ni otsu owners who love sealclubbing

blame 5.5 for that
also doesnt the chinese have the exact same tier 3 as the japanese

Well, actions are delayed with the tank also, depending on your ping, like say mine, you hit forwards, it'll move about 1.5 to 2 seconds later. That's what happens when I've got satellite internet
I've played it at my mom's, and she's got some of the best internet I've seen, I still get 70-100 ping XD

The british trio is just 2 dumpster fires paired with a pretty meh tank that can make credits, not worth it since they're all tier 5s

The practice of changing the names of identical tech tree guns to force people to re-research them.
The british tech tree is the biggest perpetrator of this.
tulip sail
A lot of them are actually different guns
Most are a similar situation as the us 3inch gun and the 76mm gun there basically the same but slightly different (in the case point the 3inch is longer and thinner round while the 76mm is shorter and wider but they have the same amount of powder and effectiveness)
echo drift
Hello guys. Something about the 62a. They now test giving it „only“ 7 degrees of gun depression instead of 8. As everyone should know the changes are only final if they are released so everything can still be changed at any time before the release of 6.6.
I think it is a bad way to buff this tank. It will become like all the other vanilla gorillas (average typical medium tanks) and lose its remarkable weakness. Instead of this they should give the 62 the t54 frontal hull. Another idea is to give it the old turret back. The turret is not that good lets be real. It already has hatches why do the cheeks have to be a 100% pen against every shell with 300m+ pen?
This wouldnt make it super tough at all as the t54 is not a problem to pen frontally for most 9s and 10s. However it would give it a chance to make use of the front. They should make the 140 the agile versitale one and the 62 the tough & rough one. How bout that WG?
kindred wren
@tulip sail But that is an actual difference in caliber. It is highly unlikely that a gun of the same caliber cannot be fed with the same shells (unless it’s a very special construction), and many of the guns in the game are actually more or less the same with the exception of the muzzle break or the turret mount
kindred wren
Ah, well, my bad
bright folio
That I can understand.
tulip sail
Your good I dont expect everyone to be a tank nerd like me
kindred wren
Still, it would be utterly pointless to have a special round for every gun
And a special gun for every tank
Tank type*
tulip sail
You would think however several countries disagree for... reasons
kindred wren
wants to throw the standardised parts doctrine at said countries
tulip sail
Lol yeah you also have countries like Germany who used anything and everything they could capture
bright folio
I'm talking about the Pak 43 vs Kwk 43, for example. The only difference between the two is that one was designed to be mounted to a tank.
tulip sail
Yes and was significantly changed to do so
kindred wren
I mean, I understand that guns are being modified just like tanks are, but generally an attempt should be made to make the parts as standardised and interchangeable (for upgrades) as possible
tulip sail
While that would be ideal politics tend to get in the way or doctrine does
kindred wren
Or rather, war
tulip sail
That too
kindred wren
Looking at modern day tanks, standardised parts and low maintenance are kind of a big deal
Or big thing
tulip sail
Oh yeah but in ww2 they weren't so focused on it
kindred wren
If anyone, then I’d say the Americans were
They had this doctrine that they’d only produce and develop what the troops demanded
tulip sail
The Americans were the best out of the lot but even then not as good as modern time
kindred wren
(Which they just completely abandoned during the cold war for the great arms race)
tulip sail
Even then not really as you had the whole td debacle
kindred wren
Td debacle?
tulip sail
What a td was for and what it needed to be
That's why you have the m18 armed with the same gun as your meds and then you have the m36 armed with a 90mm
kindred wren
Just for reference, the M18 is the Hellcat and the M36 the Jackson?
tulip sail
Yes
kindred wren
Good, so I am thinking of the right tanks
To be honest, M18 appears to be more of a light fire support vehicle than something that actually engages openly in tank vs tank fights
ancient vigil
I actually got the Nashorn today, nice tank, I really like that gun.
tulip sail
Yeah I have to apologize I tend to use tanks designations rather than the names "given to tjem"
kindred wren
I understand most designations, but if I’m unsure I will just ask
ancient vigil
The aim of getting the nashorn is to acquire the St.Emil, and unlock the second best gun on the JPanther before I get it.
tulip sail
That's fair
kindred wren
Although some names like those of the Japanese are actually designations
ancient vigil
Little fingers video motivated me to start working towards JPanther, I’ve also seen that it has a good credit coefficient.
Thats all on that. Sry if a bit off topic.
kindred wren
Like Type 3 Chi-Nu for ‘development started 1943; Medium tank project 4 (I believe, not sure about the project number)
tulip sail
Kinda there officially given so I'll use those bc I dont remember their type designations
kindred wren
The Type designations only name the year when the project was started
That’s why there are two Type 9somethings
(I don’t mean the Chinese and Japanese version)
tulip sail
Type 97 light tank is the chi ha (I think I dont focus on Japanese tanks so I'm not 100% on them or italian)
Wait no it's the te ke
The type 97 medium is the chi ha
kindred wren
Anyways, regardless of designations, why was the M18 considered worthy a medium gun while the M36 was equipped with a higher caliber gun?
kindred wren
I would appreciate that
kindred wren
Will watch it when I have a quiet hour
kindred wren
I actually so far only watched David from the Tank Museum and the European counterpart to the Chieftain (though I forgot his name)
He also did videos for WG
But I just can’t remember the name...
tulip sail
Lol neither can I personally I didnt like him as much since he doesn't seem as lively as the chieftain
misty grove
Whats the fastest reloading tank?
misty grove
yes
glass crypt
isnt the churchill 1 smol gun?
tulip sail
It's a 2 pndr
misty grove
im using the black prince atm and it reloads at 3.4seconds so i was curious if it was the fastest reloading tank
glass crypt
just checked, tthe smol gun is 2.2s
misty grove
churchill 1 is single shot and takes like 6.8 seconds to reload?
kindred wren
He means one of the stock guns
glass crypt
ye, the 2 pounder, also iirc the e25, t23e3, and that premium fv, also share the 3.4 second reload
misty grove
oki ty for the infomation
kindred wren
Since 5.5 I am absolutely clueless about modules at tier five and below
solid gate
The hellcat did get one 90mm
How ever it was only a test model and never got past 1 model
tulip sail
Which is disappointing
solid gate
As for the 76mm it was fairly good enough for the hellcat
I’m sure there’s a reason it didn’t get The 90mm but i think it’s because The hellcat was a “cheap tank”
tulip sail
Wasn't because the suspension was overloaded
tulip sail
On the regular model it was but I thought on the upgraded one it wasn't but maybe I'm mixing prototypes again
solid gate
I know early TD prototypes had terrible suspensions
kindred wren
Are we talking about prototypes now?
lime thistle
Did someone say prototype tanks
tulip sail
Nope prototype tank destroyers
kindred wren
One moment of silent for the German Prototype A of the Leopard 1 then, please, since the Italian Prototipo is for some reason better
lime thistle
Good enough
solid gate
The pattons might be around for ever tbh @tulip sail
tulip sail
I wouldn't be against that
solid gate
Since they can mount the Leo 2 and abrams turret it seems
kindred wren
Pattons are still in use?
solid gate
Magach pereh sabra etc
tulip sail
Sherman's arestill in use
kindred wren
Isn’t there one called M60 2k or something? That has a modern turret?
lime thistle
@solid gate you mean the M60-2000 it has the Abrams turret in it
solid gate
Yes the m60 hull with the abrams system
kindred wren
The Magach is an Israeli modification of the Pattons
Although modification is a little... too little said
lime thistle
I have drawing of M60-2000 and the Thumper
solid gate
Magach goes up to 7
tulip sail
And since I've got no clue on modern tanks I'm out
lime thistle
The M1 Thumper has a 140mm gun...
solid gate
Here it is abrams turret and extended engine deck
I still don’t know what the leopard m48s name is
lime thistle
Personally I don’t like Turkey, but the Sabra kinda hot 😳
solid gate
They making the altay tank
solid gate
They are adding it to armored warfare

floral thunder
I have it but I mean most people don't use it or get it for its bad rep but its a good tank
gentle wasp
wait so what are you saying
rigid thunder
The WZ Blaze was introduced as a premium tank along with the 112 glacial, and at that time there were no Chinese TDs in the game. Where else would you put the tank other than to make it a premium?
Change it into a tech tree tank that can be unlocked through EXP and essentially shortchange everyone who had bought the tank for gold previously?
floral thunder
No I'm referring to if it was created as a tech tree tank from day one I would have picked it up in a heartbeat.
Still did even if it was a premium tank just for looks but the performance is better than expected from what most early reviews said.
gentle wasp
@floral thunder but there was no Chinese tech tree until recently. And Chinese tds even later
floral thunder
@gentle wasp I wasn't around when it released I got it two years after because I wasn't playing the game at the time.
rigid thunder
and I'm saying that upon release, there was absolutely zero possibility to make the WZ Blaze a tech tree tank
gentle wasp
@floral thunder well yea what he said ^^^
bright folio
The WZ-112 Glacial and WZ-135G FT Blaze were introduced before there was a chinese line.
floral thunder
I know it was released before the line I'm saying ("alternate reality" as in WZ was never intended to be premium) I would have picked it up when the line would be introduced.
