Harder tier 9 grind
@zinc condor as wg stated, they will make further changes to lower tiers depending on their performance
So basically buff for everyone?
Nerf that missle turning speed
the fact that there are two of em on the enemy team scares me
just how many of these things are there in the average matchmaking queue
@spice ivy I don't see them as often as they used to
@next solstice and buff penetration to 800mm
so its either a coincidence or two troll tooners?
xD troll tooners
hey those dudes are just as terrifying as the unicorn tooners
i m not in toon
So, whats yer verdict on the new light tanks so far?
T92 needs more nerf on armour, gun handling could use bit too
Sheridan is strong
Nightmare is available to get every Halloween correct?
only been let out once, was never any suggestion it would be out again
Ok WZ-111-1G FT sucks.
WZ-111-1G FT is actually pretty decent. Neither gun is difficult to use, and the mobility isn't fantastic but the armor is pretty strong, about on par tier for tier with Obj. 268, slightly better IMO.
Also the 130mm cannon does 10% more damage with its HE shells compared to other 12.8cm and 130mm Cannons at 660, instead of 600.
No. The armor needs a buff. Also can we just get rid of the BL-10 gun on ISU? That thing has way too much pen for tier 8.
I cannot win worth a darn with WZ-111-1G FT. Partly because idiot teammates. Also the armor is only on the casemate yet the hull plate is hard to hide. Stupid seeing as how it’s a big sluggish though not the slowest TD.
@solid gate why are you proposing bl 10 removal when it has been for years and now we even have tanks with armour to give it a slight challenge?
Eh, just ticked off about it hurting me and teammates. Stupid thing has always been a scary gun to go against.
Even other TDs are useless against it as they cannot punch as hard as it can.
Any chance the FV 4005 Stage II will come to the game?
@magic ledge isn't it already here? with different gun
Here in the game is the FV4005. FV4005 Stage II equip a 183mm gun (same in War thunder)
@sacred cargo but players hate 182.99mm hesh rounds
@sacred cargo Actually ours is the Stage II but with a different gun than the real life one because the backlash of the 183mm.
The Stage I had a open top mount that couldn’t turn 360 degrees. In real life though the Stage II could turn the “barn” turret 360 degrees. I don’t know about in game though.
Stage I:
Stage II:
dis one has 120mm
unlike chad 123mm in blitz
on MT-25 do I run the first or second autoloader
autoloader with better penetration
Yeah but the gun is made up. The FV4005 never mounted a 123mm autoloader.
Which is the best tier 10 Tank?
Is4
the Comet
thanks
Is the AMX AC 48 at least decent?
I’m on the AC 46 and it and the V39 have been horrible
Well,it’s a preview for the foch and the 155
I can’t say much about it cuz I don’t have a lot of experience with them
Ac 48 is not bad. Low dpm does limit it. But it works better than the ac46 whennit comes to frontal armour. There are 3 weakspots on top which are really weak.
Cupolas never helped anyone to be honest
Those weakspots are not even troll like the ones on foches. They are guaranteed pen
cupolas helped irl and werent much of a weakspot
Extra points for ac48 to finally look like a sportscar after a bunch of ugly tanks
tanks arent even supposed to look cool as its not a requirement
but they usually end up looking nice
I mean,cupolas never helped in the game,cuz in real life you wouldn’t aim for the cupola on an enemy tank,even tho it wouldn’t really damage the vehicle
anyone have some tips on the IS 5 i can't seem to use the armor on that
Play an is3 🗿
Try to play Hulldown when possible exposing only the turret. I am aware it's difficult with the limited Gun Depression but when possible it will work.
Also try Reverse Sidescraping in the IS-5. (This is a video for IS-3 but still it explains how reverse Sidescraping works, Skip to 5:50)
The IS-3 is one of the most popular Tier VIII heavy tanks in World of Tanks. It’s irreplaceable in Random Battles, in eSports, and in Clan Wars, but it’s not a perfect vehicle. So why is it so beloved? Learn the truth about the IS-3. How do you deal with its view range? How do...
@lyric oriole i was in a hull down position got pentrated by an m6a2e1
It has Cupola's, it has weakspots, the turret isn't Invincible
You can't sit still, you should be making small movements to throw off your opponents aim
oh alright
Treue
Why is the panther/m10 so bad?
its not THAT bad
its a bit down but its ok
Tbh in comparison to its normal counterpart it only has better gun handling
it used to be great
i personally think its ok
its not great rn but its fine
they should buff the DPM to that of the E25
Agree to that rn it is way better to get the normal panther instead of the m10 but hey i got it out of the t7 crate...
should i skip this one?
☝️
how?
@frigid compass You have a point. Tanks aren’t meant to look cool but most come off that way. Still there have been some stupid looking tanks irl. (And even stupider looking ones in this game and perhaps other games.)
But why are cupolas a weakness in game when they aren’t in real life? I would get it on tanks that are hard to flank but on some tanks cupolas being a weakness is dumb.
because wargaming is too lazy to balance tanks in another way
OOF
Wow..... -_-
I think though the French TDs would look and perform better without the stupid range finders and cupolas. Especially the ACs. I know they buffed both Fosh TD’s cupolas and range finders but that’s silly. Realistically they should not be weaknesses and the tanks should become slower.
By far the most shots I blocked with the T28 prototype
I blocked 3 shots from a dumb T28 Defender in my Ace game where I was playing T28 Prototype.
@onyx venture Did you Ace it with that?
Would of been nice but no, I would have had to do at least 4k damage if I want to Ace with this vehicle
My team also lost that match rip
@onyx venture Funny. I Aced it with only 2,599 damage. I think that’s what it was. But it was a Supremacy game and I got a base. Also think I may have gotten assistance damage for taking the track off a Löwe.
@solid gate while irl cupolas aren't aimed for they still can cause massive damage to a tank if shot and penned
@tulip sail Um ok but what does that have to do with why they are weak points in the game? Especially stupid and pointless on slow tanks (especially TDs) that are easy to flank.
And I don’t see how it would do massive damage to the tank. Well maybe to modern ones with modern rounds if you hit and penetrated them. But WW 2 and early Cold War?
Because theres reasoning behind it first you're gonna need some way of damaging a tank from the front in case of high armoured tanks and since the cupola was never al that heavy armoured it makes sense. Also if you pen the cupola the Tc is dead which is the most important crew member especially in ww2 and cold war as most the other crew simply don't have the visibility to command a tank and if the tank hasn't a radio (as most early ww2 tanks didnt ) they would lose direction.
Then if you take in count of APHE what I've read happening is itll pen the cupola or the top of a turret and detonate after the pen which an explosion inside is not a good thing
Alrighty then. That explains that. But they weren’t aimed for because it’s easier to aim for sides and rear? Does training have anything to do with it?
As for in game cupolas as a weakness is just stupid for some tanks which are too slow to not get flanked and shot in those even easier to hit sides and rears.
No it's just a tiny target you're shooting at something maybe 2ft tall and a foot or 2 wide at 500meters irl you aim center mass as most tank sights were 2x -4x it's a waste to aim there even if we are talking modern.
And constancy matters in a game like this it makes perfect sense and I'm gonna apologize a head of time bc I cant seem to word this next but without seeming condescending but I assure you I'm not trying to be your not supposed to sit in one spot exposing your self to fire keep near cover so you dont need to be and if you have to used your allies as bait and make sure their the easy target not you
Yeah, no. I’m talking about the large cupolas such as AC 46, Tiger P, and such cupolas. Heck even the T95E2 is kinda big. Machine gun cupolas must have had a point in real life but in this game they are stupid, ugly, and pointless. Small cupolas are better.
Oh I also forgot to mention irl there are many ways of mission killing a tank without penning it
Those are what I was talking about the tiger 1 and it's cupola is 2 x 2 iirc
Not saying I sit in one place but even moving around doesn’t seem to do much to negate huge weak cupolas.
You know what I wanna see Japanese heavies I'm down for new TD's but the heavies have existed in pc and console longer
Also just saying something is stupid isn't that good of an argument if you could explain why you think so thad be better
Well yeah. Even in pictures of Tiger I you cannot really see the cupola unless you know what you’re looking for. But the Tiger P (at least in game) on the other hand has a stupidly big one.
Big cupolas are big weak spots, but big cupolas are big chance of spot enemys (Maus is one of the best for that, since the tank have the optics on the turret top)
But most of the mg cupolas are on tanks that have extremely good turrets so if they are hull down that makes there only weak point the cupola wich its better to have that instead of an invincible enemy (I'm exaggerating)
I’m saying it’s stupid because it doesn’t have to be that big for someone to stick their head up to it to use the view ports. As for machine gun cupolas they must have had a purpose irl but in game they are useless things.
Not really they aren't useless they serve there point very well and just so you know early tiger1s and tiger ps had the same cupola
Heh. Except you can be hull down and get flanked and shot in the much weaker hull quite easy. Opponents who aren’t stupid aren’t going to just sit in front of a hull down strong turret tank if they have sense and the proper tank to get around the issue. Also not all hull down tanks have super strong turrets.
Well you cannot shoot the machine gun at enemy tanks (which wouldn’t do anything) so what’s the point of having a machine gun cupola over a normal cupola? What? Just because the real tank had one? But then they removed it from M48 and T110E5.
It's a weak point to be cautious about
That's its point
Not everything that has a point has to work in your favor
Whatever. Hard enough to make sure you aren’t getting flanked when playing something like say Chieftain/T95 then you have to worry about people in front of you shooting that. It’s just too much.
In the game, big cupolas are big weak points, but the big cupolas are the best for spot enemys. Good thing x bad thing
Too much to keep track of with tanks like that. Too many weak points. Besides if the turret is facing wrong they can pen the side of the turret.
Not really especially in the chieftain/t95 if you play it ridge lining it's a nice challenge and that's where your hard cover comes in if your being flanked (your position shouldn't let you but let's say it does) you drive behind the hard cover to protect yourself from target 1 then you engage target 2
@sacred cargo Tbh a game doesn’t have to be fully logical. Heck this game already isn’t because HP, fake tanks, and more. It’s not a sim.
And the fake ones they replaced it with on the m48 look atrocious
Im talking about the game mechanics, not of real life
@tulip sail Well the stupid cupola was what annoyed me most about the dang Chieftain/T95 back when I drove it. Ruined the point of hiding the dang weak hull.
With the gd it's a fantastic side ridgeliner
It make for easy baits especially after the buff
@sacred cargo Well what I’m saying is since it is a game you could give any tank any view range you want in theory. Only Wargaming tries to keep the view ranges somewhat logical and suited to roles.
Well I’ve moved on from Chieftain/T95. Not my favorite tank. Would rather play a T29 or T34. Much stronger turrets as the weak spots are much harder to hit and pen on those.
Lol I guess we've switched since I find those too boring to play
Eh they are slower than Chieftain but realistically not by too much. They’re much easier to hull down properly so yeah.
But theres no trick to playing them it's just hull down and you're fine you dont have much to think about to get it to work
I don’t think they are boring. I’d play them if I weren’t grinding lines. Right now back on the dang WZ-111-1G FT which I had sold once already. Hated it when I first tried it. Armor seems unreliable. Maybe being too aggressive in it at times and/or not positioning it right. But I’m not going to camp in it like some dumb TD players would do.
I haven't played it but from looking at the stats I'd snipe in it camping is generally a waste of time
@tulip sail No. The trick is the rocking back and forth and wiggling the dang turret so that stupid cupola doesn’t get hit. Well at least with Chieftain you have to do that crap which makes it harder for you to shoot anything yourself. T29 and T34 don’t have to do that near as much. They just hit the hull and watch the shots bounce.
That's with any hull down tank that's hardly a trick then
@tulip sail Oh and with that TD Blitz Hangar recommends long range sniping highly.
I can definitely see that working just make sure you're moving up when needed
Yeah that’s the part where I suck. Sniping is hard when teammates you are trying to support get in the dang way all the dang time. Plus moving up is tricky without some dang enemy sniper or lucky medium shooting you. Probably why I hate WZ-111-1G FT.
Blitz Hangar also says it’s average at 1 v 1 brawling. Don’t know how that is.
Only move up once you have no targets or potential targets
Keep as much cover imbetween you and potential sniper spots
If you can learn the usual sspots its helpful
I don’t know. Maybe need more practice with the dang thing. That and 100% crew. Gah, I hate not having 100% crew. But I don’t have the gold reserves to keep spending it on crew training.
But really there are better TDs. It looks like the WZ is around middle of the pack as far as tier 8 WRs are concerned. Wargaming’s stats chart.
Yeah there may be better but itll take a long while playing those to get the Chinese t9 td
Still not sure how Ferdinand is beating every other TD by a huge margin though. Only buff it ever got was armor on those slant pieces same as Tiger P. It’s not the most mobile TD and the armor is flat so not that hard to pen. Still JP II is much worse for the average player it would seem.
The Ferdinand is pretty good in its role until it gets flanked but even then a skilled player can stall long enough for a ton mate to help
Oh and I was wrong. WZ is actually like 3rd or 4th highest WR wise. JP II is on lower end but not the worst. Worst would be (unsurprisingly) the T28.
Though I figured the rum would be a bit higher
Wait how is AT 15 that high? It’s not even a good TD. Slow, tons of weak points, big, low alpha, and low pen for a tier 8 TD.
With it doing that well I doubt Wargaming will buff it. cries
Eh I hate AT 15. Tried it once before and it just got penned like butter. Gun is nice though it’s more a heavy level gun not a TD level gun but the tank itself sucks.
Lol its actually pretty good as a second liner
Probably will be the last tier 8 I work on. Either it or Centurion or gags Pershing.
I still dont get why you dont like the persh
It does everything it needs to but let's not get into that
Because it’s pen sucks and so does the armor. Also it was the second slowest medium until STA was added. Still third slowest though.
I am NOT spamming prammo with it either. That’s bull. That stuff is still costly, Pershing earns poorly, and it lowers the dpm which is already awful.
But apparently Centurion is worse performing. But the Panther II takes the cake. Thankfully it is getting armor buff.
The cent is certainly interesting
What side of a tank? Pershing is a poor flanker since it’s so big and doesn’t maintain it’s speed. Plus forget going against stinking Russian heavies with it.
It works fine flanking for me
Centurion suffers from LAS (Low Alpha Syndrome). Kinda a thing among the British.
That’s why I think Crusader should be replaced by Centaur and be made a tier IV (possibly/probably collector) and Comet should be moved down as well and nerf it’s rof. In fact Comet not only has low alpha but unlike Panther it doesn’t have the pen. Centurion III should be the tier 7.
The crusader and comet are fine where they are though the comet is more like a light then a regular med
A slow light then. Because 52kph isn’t really that fast for a light if you look at the actual lights. And I disagree that they are fine where they are. Crusader is just pen and that is it. It’s slow, poor armor because light tank, and low alpha. I don’t know about the dpm anymore but that’s a poor argument because Crusader dies too easily. It cannot escape once engaged with opponent unlike other lights. Crusader is utter trash.
Um the crusader is double the dom of the elca as well as 40 more pen the only thing the elca does better is caliber and ss alpha
Here’s my British medium line:
IV - Crusader
V - Centaur (6pdr, 75mm, maybe 95mm howitzer)
VI - Cromwell, Comet
VII - Centurion I/III
VIII - FV4009 (cannot find too much information on it so giving it the 32pdr anti-tank gun)
IX - Centurion 7/1
X - FV4202 or Centurion Action X
@solid gate just because u hate some tanks, if wargaming don't buff them or do something, Is because the average performance of the tank, shows the tank is fine right now
@sacred cargo Not really in the case of the Centurion I mate. It’s on the low end of the chart.
And whatever. I’ll make my own tank game one day where I can decide what the heck tank goes where and how to balance them instead of drunk Wargaming staff.
And I'm willing to bet the cycle will continue also you cant exactly expect every tank to be the best on the charts
Well no, you can’t. But the way the Centurion I and such are I do not like and would like to fix my own way.
The British in particular are kinda weak in certain regards which don’t allow them to perform well unless you are a super duper unicum. Which I am not and never going to be one of those. Heck only those can make the Pershing look good.
They may be weak in very regards but there strong in others just like every other nation of tanks
And plsaying it right does that too
British have 2 interesting TD lines and a decent heavy line, the higher tier meds are the only ones not performing lol, and with the new lights unless the lights get nerfed they are going to get more outdated.
(And we don’t talk about the ATs)
Speaking of interesting British TD lines, I rly think WG should add the 183mm gun on the FV4005, sorta like an optional one.
^
^ would make me play my FV4005 way more, auto loader is ok but Conway rn is way more fun.
true, since Conway has a special HESH gun
If this were an Ideal world we would have FV4005 with the 183mm gun and the Badger would straight up replace the 183
True
i would be scared of that... badger is one of the most op td's in the entire game, including WoT pc
Would give the AT line more reason tho, and since it would be tech tree it could then be nerfed/buffed/balanced as needed.
The AT line definitely needs to be buffed. It's complete hell as of now.
I’d say my main gripe for brits is the FV4005 auto loader, it’s kinda sad to go from a 640 alpha derp to an auto loader.
big paper turret doesn’t go well with auto loaders ¯_(ツ)_/¯
true
bring this camo for t3485
Out of curiosity, what do you guys think is the best tank of WW2?
The late war Sherman’s easily take that spot
Panther G how ever was pretty decent but came too late make a difference
@fossil oar this....hahayes
@solid gateif u take into account the production then T-34 variants might be the best
@gentle lagoon the t34s were literal garbage the only and I mean the only positive thing about them was the sheer numbers of them and how easy they were to make
yes
T34 76mm to 85mm failed to pen tiger 1 sides at close range
but moar da number da better isnt it
There is strength in numbers yes
Then the british come alone with their Sherman Fireflies
hm thinking about the Americans, did the Hellcat ever fought a Tiger I? And if so, could it pen
It was a matter of attrition
Even if you had a tank killer in your arsenal, if you couldnt sufficiently replenish your losses then the effort was for naught
@raven jacinth the 76mm m1 could pen in the sides not frontally but that was the purpose of hellcat anyways
I've only seen this tank once but is the SU 130 PM going to be a premium tank?
@tender crest yes
ok
do u think guys ST1 front is op its same hull as IS4 but less armore
@keen parrot it is easy pen
It means your friend just can’t aim
well then aiming won't be required
Should i get the 8 second high dmg gun on the Chi-he for the heck of it?
Or is it just not worth 2k xp
Get it
Chi-He is the tier IV right? I don’t think the high damage gun is worth it because lower pen and I think dpm too.
It's better for trading for sure but the 5.7cm gun is better
122mm on SU152 or 152mm?
if u wanna have fun go 152 if u wanna tryhard go 122
152 wasn’t fun for me when grinding for the 122mm first time I got SU-152 so I find the 122mm much better. It’s not a “try hard” gun but a dpm gun. 152mm is just for derp.
@solid gate @gentle lagoon JagdPanther 1 is easily the best tank of WW2, it was best TD of it's time.
A Tiger tank Took 300 shots from Russian T34s and returned when it ran out of ammo but Tigers easily ran Out of Fuel and had to be abandoned
Tiger was really good, Tiger 2 front was Imprenetable but it was easy target for Planes
@solid gate still false jpanther still suffered the problems early panther variants had t34s had horrible quality ammunition Tiger was outdated and tiger 2 was not an easy target for planes
And the obj252u could hover for 50 seconds at a time, had a top speed of 80km/h and would penetrate a maus frontally at 2km
@elfin orbit get out
Neverr! HSSSSSS
@solid gate source for the tiger getting hit 300 times?
I just got some medium tanks like the PZ iv g, and idk anything about using them, i wish i knew how to use it, just at mr if someone is okey to help and awnser any questions
well, you dont have reliable armor, nor are you speedy, just chill out occasionally poke when you aren't focused, not the best advice but its the basics
Second lining is the idea
Support
Grrrrr
@gleaming wigeon The PZ IV G has the worst dpm on tier 5, has decent armor, and a kinda troll turret. It might be good to use your gun depression on the tank, and bounce some shots. Mobility is pretty good on that tank too.
Is the meuse ( i dont know how to spell it) worth it tho?
maus?
The end tank after the pv iv g* also, what is a medium tank/light tank player meant to do in those tanks? ( just at me on any of my messages, i dont have anything to do for awhile but might not answer for a few hours)
I think ye
well, the maus is a very, very good tank for armor (also if u want to learn side-scraping), and has the largest amount of hp in WoT
its hp is being buffed from 2500 to 3120 in update 6.9
however, the maus is very limited due to its mobility, and its gun is definitely not the greatest
Dang .-.
did u just started playing WotB?
You mean 3120?
yes sry for the inaccuracy lol
Np mate it’s called improved assembly
😄 thx bro
@gleaming wigeon if u just started on this game, i advise u go for a 'easier' tank to play and reach tier X, such as the KV1 lane.
No, I started like ( dont qote me my s sense of tine is really bad) 5 years ago and got too mad at it then downloaded it again this year about a month ago and im on the tier 7 of the stug III G line ( just got it this morning(
The JPanther
ahh ok.. jagdpanther or sturer?
Jpanther
kk.. for the jpanther, it has been buffed this update and now it's op, but a lot of players don't realise that. Play the JPanther as much as possible till u go to the next tier, and try to snipe and farm dmg
@solid gate kv1 line is not really easier he will struggle more with angling
jpanther has a lot of dpm
@strange thicket kv1 has good armor and good gun tho, and as long as u dont show ur front plates fully, it will be easy to play
then when its time to research t6, go to kv2 first cause kv1s dpm is the worst at t6
@solid gate nah mate
Plus kv2 is trash compared to kv1s
KV1S has a 122 and its a mini IS
even if you dont take the 122 its still good
KV2 is for fun
@strange thicket bruh 1300 dpm (if fully upgraded) on a t6?? im ok mate
some t4's have better dpm than that
Kv2 literally has worse dpm lol
And also it is not a rushing tank yo got play smart in it
KV2 has better DPM
2452.5 DPM.. smh
Which gun
tHe sToCk oNe
I always play the 152mm sorry my bad
https://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Tank:R77_KV2 ohh ok lol
Stop fighting, i dont like the kv line because its to inaccurate and im used to sniping not going close to people,
the 107 on the KV2 is suprisingly good
its great
i love it and i got a full kalobannov on it brawling against 3 teir 6 meds
were not fighting.. just transferring info to each other lol
@low elk THEN THERE'S THE SMASHER XDDD
Oki subject change, uh whats a good beginning light/med tank?
@solid gate Smasher players be like: Im sorry i dont speak lose
The stock gun is trash plus i remember it has he as standard? Lol
i have the smasher lmao
@gleaming wigeon you really don't wanna get into those now but if you wanna german line is good
@gleaming wigeon probably the american lt line.
@solid gate look on #general-blitz-discussion and see what kind of stats i got today
literally the 5th worst session ever
Crp uhh
@strange thicket german lt will be hard to him cuz of the armor
American line doesn't have that great armor either
And the pershing will make him suffer
I literally dont wanna touch it lol
But for lights yeah pick the American line
wait wut was the american t8 lt again lol
Oki, my friend Tyler is on Ussr tech tree tier 8 is-3 and my other friend toxic is on UK tier 4 and my last friend Johnny is on America, so you would probably like all there opinion
@solid gate not the T49
lolol oh yeh right
@strange thicket T49 has trash armor but it has the good ol' derp gun, and the t9-10 is op at this moment
he wont get the teir 9 or ten in time
Yeah probably
E50M is a good tier 10 med too
@gleaming wigeon ok pick the UN line
The italian auto reloaders are good
Auto reloaders? I play on mobile so all the tanks auto reload
no
onnes that have a clip but reload one at a time
Oh
Imagine pc players have manual load key as a handicap
Hello there,can you tell me why the amx 30 1er prot. doesn't have the premium status?
I forget that JPanther got buff in that place kinda behind the tracks but you can kinda shoot into without shooting the tracks. Bounces shots from T20 if you shoot it there. Gotta shoot the casemate sides.
@tight palm It’s Enriched mate.
AMX 30, 32, and 40:
wdym enriched? it is not a techtree tank
@strange thicket It is enriched collector tank.
you mean collector status
@strange thicket All the high tier premium/collector tanks (as far as I know) are enriched.
yeah any tank with collector or premium status earns more credits than regular one
but alright
Yeah but enriched don’t earn as much as premium tanks but more than tech tree tanks. They are like mid-grounds on credit earning.
I think the next tank I’ll use is the Osorio:
Not really, @strange thicket Amx 30-40 are pretty old from the 1970s. They are no more modern tanks since they won’t stand a chance against modern MBTs
true
@languid needle technically they do stand a chance but if they are given proper optics ammunition and of course crew
yeah any tank with collector or premium status earns more credits than regular one
but alright
@strange thicket The old tech-tree tanks that got made into collectors in 5.5 don't earn extra credits.
@fringe notch not every collector status tanks earn credits
here they are talking about tier 9 and 10 premium tanks, that they are not real premium tonks
I have nothing to say about this thing.....
Angry Connor makes you angry.
Osorio is modern I think. Those 3 AMXs though are a bit outdated though.
Also I’mma take any tank from late WW 1 to modern then weed out the smoothbore guns and composite armor ones. In fact probably weed out modern altogether. Anything post Cold War (1991 from what I can find) is a no go for my idea.
@cloud thistle stonk
@cloud thistle stonks big
hehe boi
GIANT STONKS
@round carbon depends on the vehicle
HE penetration values range greatly. Generally HE shells are are good Against very lightly armored vehicles, or the rear of vehicles, innsime cases however HE cannot penetrate the rear of a vehicle
when my nashorn get hit by kv 2.. it's explode and destroyed.
KV-2 has a huge gun and Nashorn has next to no armor. You should be avoiding KV-2 in your Nashorn
okkay.. thanks for the tips
When will the Skorpion G be on sale again?
Nobody knows
When wg wants to
Love that dingy
I am waiting for ISU-130, super great DPM with that, not counting the prammo with 530 alpha even
It’s nice but I don’t now why ppl are performing so bad in it
It’s an ISU what do you think they don’t last long
Bc they haven’t played the 152
And it depends on how skillful the player is. ISUs can last pretty long if they can react accordingly to a situation
ISU-152 though has much bigger alpha and has better standard penetration. Also it has equal gun arc left and right I think. 130 has weird gun arc.
All these TDs pretty much just pale in comparison to the Skorpion G though
I’m back to VFM 5 for now then will go back to Type 98 then on to EE-T1 Osorio.
What do medium tank do? They flank right? ( just at me if someone is ok to answer my question(s)
@gleaming wigeon they are the jack of all trades they can do anything ok to good but theres something better in every specific regard (theres also several types of mediums
Mhm? :0
Some do great in flanking while others dont most can play second line and some even front line
What about pz iv g/ and pz v/iv?
Those are decent flankers and good second liners
Die Vickers Fake! blows it to bits (Ok I’m done harping on that after this.)
Guys
Please I need help
What is the best TD tank I have to buy it, after JPanther? Ferdinand or JPanther II?
I've running out of my mind
JP2
I am serious guys
I literally told u
Eh JP II is underperforming according to the charts. Though it’s got some that are slightly to way below it.
Also here’s a crazy fact. WZ-111-1G FT has a stronger lower plate than upper plate. The casemate being 180mm base generally, upper hull is 100mm, and lower plate is 120mm. Tell me, how does that make any sense?
So does the tiger II
@solid gate then choose Ferdinand
It's fine
@solid gate Heh. Already did that and unlocked JT.
Huh? JT?
What is that?
Ouhh you mean @solid gate Jagdtiger?
Then how about the perform of Ferdinand?
@solid gate Yeah. I shortened it to JT.
@solid gate Ferdinand is the highest WR TD at tier 8 right now. Surprising seeing as how it only got 1 small armor buff which didn’t do too much for the armor. Otherwise same old Ferdinand it always was.
@solid gate hehe Jerman always
All right thanks for it
@solid gate You’re welcome.
Excited for when the Japanese TD's come, have to play these tanks which for me are meh
This tank for example, it's far too slow for the amount of amour it has, and the gun takes a long time to reload, probably should be buffed
@hoary verge lol
Yeah
You have a hundred free XP, why u still grind that tank?
I only spend xp on unlocking modules, so I don't mind playing tanks when they are fully equipped until I have enough for the next tank
@hoary verge Ouhh so you mean you don't wanna play tank with a stock modules right?
Yeah exactly, but even if the tank is bad or I don't like it I'll still play it until I have enough earned exp for the next tank
Okay sounds great
I mean JP tanks do compensate alot by having that sweet sweet 15 degrees of gun depression
Idk why i find those numbers so worthwhile
Okay guys, I honestly do not know what consumables to put on my Caenarvon
Like, I know there are those two consumables but I don't know if it is worth just having one repair kit.
@spice ivy only the sturer has 15 degree of gun depression
ummm
xD bot deleted last message
decker max has 15° too @civic terrace
Im pre sure the tier IV-VI/VII?? Japanese tanks had atleast 15 degrees of gun depression
Feel free to refute me on that
they have 6 or 8 or 10° (on chi ri)
Yeah but the point stands that these tanks compensate at the very least with their ability to poke and harass
I witnessed a game where-in a Chi-Nu was able to whittle a M6 down despite having like 74 hp left
Partly due to camo and good repositioning
The old Japanese otsu have something around 22°
Is the T20 as good as the Easy 8, I like my Shermans well done
I want to know if T20 can be played like a Sherman
Solution: Don't play KV-2
It’s useless, wich is what it’s supposed to be. Leave it as it is
well irl it was stupid and useless
There is a reason they stopped producing it after less than 400 units and made 50 000 T-34s
It was made to bust bunkers.... When they were retreating from the Germans...
^
Would've been more effective on the offensive but these things had since been rendered obsolete by the time the Soviets regained ground
uh no they wouldn't do any good
the turret is just too heavy and stupid
@solid gate just play something else, there are better and/or funnier tanks at T6
@solid gate it is still a decent tank you can shoot AP in it
or load premium shells with credits
I've killed these things just by having them poke a bit of their massive turrets
I swear those things are a liability for em KV 2 players
yall talking situations a kv-2 player wouldn't allow them happening
i still bust tanks in a kv-2 but you need to have someone with you
You are implying the average KV-2 driver has a brain, wich is false @strange thicket
I still feel bad for pushing that KV 2 player tho, stole his kill and made him splash HE on himself
legitimately felt bad
well.. that is kinda true tbh
i never really got the hang of it untill i hit tier 8 and played there for a good while
just bought vk28.01 just to have fun with the derp gun too
Tier VII-VIII imo is one of the best tiers to practice and get a feel for WoTB
The derp gun was good on a Hetzer. Not sure I would play it in a T6
you will have to fire heat
but your mobility allows you to flank
it will suck if you are low tier tho
i think it is the same gun on the nightmare? not sure
T-46
Being lower tiered always sucks
Because there will always be that one tank in full red that is nigh impervious to all conventional rounds
Unless you flank
I mean TDs sorta stand a chance against em but you gotta aim for spots like tumor-like cupolas, cheeks, whatnot
just got the is-5
having apcr as standard ammo sucks
you almost low roll everytime
but i think the shell velocity is rewarding?
IS-5 isn’t the best T8 heavy. But it’s cheap
Are high tiered tanks usually like that?
wdym
Most T10 meds have APCR as standard ammo if that’s what you mean
Prammo rounds as conventional
If you hate the 152 mm, why don't you just use the 107 it's my favourite gun for the KV-2
cuz that is a sin
E25 has APCR as default ammo
and KV-2 with 107 means exposing yourself more often with a slow and unarmored tank
I feel bad for killing that E-25 then...
Poor dude tried to flank me as a Jpanther and ended up bouncing all his shots
APCR HEAT AP are all types of ammo
there is no classification making apcr and heat prammo
KV-2 with 107 ZiS-6 has the 4th Best DPM
it depends on what you get for the gun
you got ap as prammo for kv2
Jagdpanther is OP and exp required to ace it is really high
i aced it like
The exp peak is usually at around 1800+
carried a 2vs5 in cqc, 3,7k dmg and 5 kills
2 times
still 1st class tho
yeah 2 times acing jagtiger
but that was me spamming the tank during rolling spring
Ended up in a 1v1 against a full HP tiger
how did he even last with his full hp
wich finally bounced on me while I had 75 hps left. Then I finished him
Praise the gun mantlet
A good Jpanther face hugs his enemy
Unless its a SU, facehugging doesn't work against em
we lost the game cuz we got flanked from both sides
It works
JP2? face hugging?
killed a low hp SU when he splashed HE at me while facehugging
which JP
Which Su?
The T7. Arguably one of the best TDs in its tier
how is it even possible to face hug a low profile tank in a jp2 if you meant it
There two tier 7 SU
It was a SU-152
oh ok
The regular JP
I said « Jagdpanther » btw. Not « Jagdpanther II ». Just f***** read
Yeet
Anywho, the Jpanther is solid. Really is. I hope the side armor nerf wont nullify its effectiveness in battle
I aced the damn thing like 3 times, its that good
I have an attachment to this beautiful beast
Nah the frontal armor will remain as good
But ig it means i'll need to watch my flanks more often no?
Yep
Anyways, you should already have been watching out for flanks because the casemate sides are still 50mm
Yeah but usually the flanking tanks end up bouncing whenever i turn just a bit to meet them head on
Like 60% of the time it ends up bouncing
I can see why they needed a nerf
How can 165mm of side armor not bounce when angled? Lol
Also i'd like to know what its like to be a tank being facehugged by a Jpanther, never knew what its like to be on the receiving end of one of its best gimmicks
Hope i find a player that will do me dirty like that someday
Idk. I’m afraid to play in T6 after playing the post-buff Jagdpanther
@spice ivy Depends on the tank, and since JPanther's armor is highly dependent on angle, facehugging can seriously backfire against tanks with decent gun depression
Most of the other Jpanthers i meet dont even realize their troll armor potential so they usually stay back
And yeah i learned that the hard way with some tanks
Like here's a T20 fighting a JPanther normally
Look at all that red.
And this is a T20 facehugging a JPanther
I mean i do a bit of a wiggle here and there just to be sure but im not sure if its really effective
It's hard to wiggle in a facehug, and if you do, it's not hard for the enemy to keep the angle flush against you
Now wiggle and ram him before the first shot, he’ll panic and lose it’s full potentitial
Ive had facehug attempts backfire with smart meds using my charge to get around, then from there on im defenseless
It's usually better just to play hulldown from mid-long range
@hollow belfry i had a poor VK be the victim of just that, he didnt know what to do the second our hulls collided
It's true that you can bully at close range if needed, but just because you can doesn't mean you should
Yeah, even with my experience in the Jpanther im still a tad wet behind the ears
Im always down for a good brutal learning experience in battle if it helps me improve
Turretless vehicles are less efficient at close ranges, which is a fact of life
The Jagdpanther has a non negligible fear factor for same tier meds or lower tier tanks in general. It’s fast. It has armor and a good gun. If a JP with half a brain catches you in a T6 tank, you will probably die
No amount of armor will stop that fact
depends on the JP driver
I mean, i sorta have confidence taking on threats like Panthers and Tigers too, despite the clear risk
Which Tiger
probably one
Tiger I, even if i got close to a Tiger II the frontal hull is still red af
Its crazy, damn things makin me resort to prammo
no way in hell you could pen it with prammo
unless you are a chinese med
I facehug it then prammo it to oblivion
Idk. With a Chi-Ri I was able to get a full pen in the cupola with prammo
he can still shoot at you so you aren't doing much
I have an addiction, help.
But yeah this thing is sorta becoming a go-to tactic, really good if you can catch em offguard, not so good if you end up just nudging their backside and they end up flanking you
Part of the obnoxious thing about Tiger II is that since WG changed hitskins a while ago, often the Tiger II looks way more red on the hitskin then it really is
Hmm it depends, no?
But the hitskin change is what happens when too many nubs whine that they're bouncing on non-red parts, so WG just made everything look redder even though the old hitskins were the most accurate 🤷
Care to give an example on its hitskin?
The armor behing the tracks is still 80mm. Despite the tracks, I still often get troll pens on an angled Tiger II with same or lower tier tanks
Forgot name: The hitskin shows grey right?
Patrick: Yes
Forgot Name: So that means I can pen right?
Patrick: Yes
Forgot Name: So if I shoot that part It should pen.
Patrick: It will bounce
hearing those three words can shred a man
"That one bounced"
@spice ivy I don't have the in-game view to show you, but for example, an IS-3 can pen the front of a Tiger II with its AP shells, but in-game this shot would show as bright red
However, if you were to actually fire the shot, it would pen
Has anyone used this to their advantage?
But since the hitskin lies, it's hard to know the difference between that shot, and this shot
Yikes, the Tiger II needs a fix alright
So you're faced with an obnoxious choice. Either you trust the hitskin, and don't bother firing to save your shot, or you gamble on the hitskin being wrong and either pen, or potentially face having to reload for the next ~10s
Ig the IS-3's reload time makes the decision making process even more intense
i think i faced the same thing switching to prammo in t-34-3
even tho it has great pen it didn't go through
Since the hitskin lies, shooting Tigers can be super obnoxious @strange thicket This is what happens when a perfectly angled tiger is using 1 degree of its gun depression vs. T-34-3 HEAT
And when it's using 0 of its gun depression. Just 1 degree change is the difference between penning and bouncing
But since the hitskin lies and shows both of these shots as red, you have no way of knowing which of these scenarios you're facing
lmao
bring mobility nerf with hp buff, nearly 11k blocked damage in Maus
@wise moth 220mm effective makes sense for the upper plate, but not the lower plate. I've said this before, but I think WG should take say 30mm off the lower plate and add it to the upper plate. Make the upper plate basically impenetrable but make the lower plate a massive weak spot that has to be hidden.
Upper plate is nearly impenetrable as is. They should just nerf the LFP, no need to buff UFP remember Tiger 2 is already fairly mobile.
ah yes, need to hit 15k blocked damage after 6.9
ok
Is the Angry Connor just an Archer rehash?
Yep
That explains everything..
Why we not get Achilles?
Hi Guys! I have question, about grille 15. How to play it? What equipment to take.
Hey Wot blitz…………If you can hear me can you put the old Leopard gun that does like 60 - 90 Dmg? Please do it
is it possible to buy heavy tank or do i have to slowly slowly upgrade light tanks to be heavy?
@solid gate Grille 15 is a Sniping Vehicle. It lacks the armor and traverse speed to play close, but does make up for some of that in Accuracy and Fire rate.
Because Grille 15 has low penetration for tier 10 tank Destroyers it's a better Idea to choose mediums as the target over over more heavily armored tanks, if you are confident in your ability to penetrate though you should be able to melt a heavy.
Most importantly, even though the grille has very mediocre traverse, the Top speed is enough to reposition. Even though I said it is a Sniping Vehicle that does not mean you should sit in one spot the whole game.
This is the Equipment layout I use.
@wanton hawk if you will find shell is not flying fast enough then you can run super charger and vertical stabalizers
@young veldt sheridan
yeah or get Progetto
It's pretty good, it's got nerfed a bit a couple patches ago, but it's still not bad. You can get the highest View range in the game if you run vents
im trying to grind the progetto please tell me what is the best way to play progetto and is it any good?
as well as what should my next vehicle be?
RH_131 would have a Field day
I already have the tiger II fully maxed and about 55k exp on it, should I switch to the Maus line now?
2750hp on a e100 isn't bad eh
It isn’t bad. It’s more like the rest of the tank isn’t amazing
Imagine a Rhm Defender
A Black Rhm 🤯
A hot Rhm🔥
Autoloader with 2 Shells (640)⚰️
thats like
a long time ago
Nah mate, Skorpion G Defender. Make a broken OP tank broken beyond all belief by giving it a 3*460 autoloader
i should really work on making the Skorpion defender look more high res
the roof looks so bad
I still want a Sherman defender
@tulip sail cough cough y5 firefly
I said defender not that atrocity @solid gate
@tulip sail it’s the best the US could come up with anyway w I n k
The m4a2 with an m26 turret disagrees
Laughs in M51
Yeah but that failed miserably
Wait nvm I thought you ment the American proto
The m51 was actually really cool
Giga Sherman
Im honestly getting more and more interested in post war Sherman's
I recall the Israeli army creating a Sherman hybrid to bolster their armored forces in the post war period
@solid gate jpanther 2 if you want to be mobile ferd if you want armor
@spice ivy that's either the m50 or m51
Likelihood of those buggers making it into Blitz?
M50 is the alt of fl10 too
But the m4/FL-10 is Egyptian
As in they both use the amx 13s gun
True
Were the AMX light tanks successful irl? Or did most of em stay as prototypes?
They were successful you just have to have a proto to work on and improve till you get the real
But they werent exactly... "main stay" tanks but were the guinea pigs for experimental designs, no?
Amx 13 stayed in service for a while and saw a lot of modernizations
Amx 13 participated in the 6 days war aswell
Damn, thats something
I'm terrible with post war french tanks but iirc it was there main light tank for a while
I'd kill to have one of em just to flex on them "automobile" plebs
blatantly ignores fuel consumption and upkeep costs
Lol I'd love one
Fake tanks:
@solid gate that tank already exists in wot xbox lol.. It's called the Iron Rain, with 40 sec reload, 3 shot reloader. Each shot does 460 average dmg each.
I got the full E50 Now, I just need to research the E50M and buy it
That will be my fourth tier X
After it I will go for WZ-131 cuz I have 2 TDs, one light and Will have one medium, but no heavues
Any recommendations for set in E50M?
Supposedly the E 50M is fake. Not surprising since the original E 50 wasn’t even produced really. Heck even Panther II didn’t make it into production stage.
But there was probably like blueprints, if Germany had the opportunity and enough materials they would build the tank
@solid gate panther 2 was built wargaming is heavily wrong on it
E50M is entirely fictional
@solid gate Well I never said it wasn’t built. Just not as a full production model. That’s what I meant. May have reached prototype stage but not production stage. I could be wrong but doubt that seeing as how it wasn’t used.
Some of these fake German TDs look interesting but are impractical because they’d be too front heavy.
But for going with fake tanks for a real nation it would be best to base them off of real tanks but alter them to some degree. Like the JagdPanzer E 100 we have in Blitz. Well the tank is real supposedly in that it was talked about back then but they didn’t even get to deciding on a gun much less what the casemate and all would look like. The JP E 100 we have is probably the closest to what a real one would have been.
Fast boi giving crew members concussions from hard landings since 1940
@hollow moth true but was "built" under Germany
As in a wooden mock up but was quite pointless at its stage
Something I found slightly irritating was the "angry connor " was in the uk category even though it has a leprechaun on it, which is a symbol of Ireland
It's a British tank though
True
It basically just an Irish Camo for a British tank
@solid gate does it really matter though
You could say the same stuff about every nation if they just stick to ww2 tanks there will not be as much tanks as we have
So they added stuff tanks designs and prototypes that was mentioned
@strange thicket Indeed. But there are tank designs that came way after the war was over that people made up and that some dummies believe were real. Like Panzer Front game I saw mention having made up tanks. The developers of that game made up tanks for some odd reason and some dumb people believe they were real.
@solid gate that is just a bruh moment there
@strange thicket Yep
@spice ivy the angry connor is a great tank just unusual to play irl the archer was great for its design but it wasnt all that useful since when it was deployed they weren't on the defensive anymore
Hey guys, how should i play the AT-8, AT-7 etc?
@tepid cairn on your rapid fire
The AT line isn’t really good right now. Things get rocky around tier 8
What do you mean by rocky @slender cliff ?
Not very good
Oof ok but is it worth the Fv 183 derp?
No
No
It really hard to play effectively and it just falls straight out of the meta to be general
lol k thanks for your time 🙂
You are more enlightened so I say it was worth it👌
The AT 8 is pre solid tho, just hide your cupola and wiggle and you'll be impervious to most shots
I like the AT line's ability to just not care for complicated strategies like flanking, side scraping, and focusing on just being the team's meat wall
Really gives it a heavy tank feel for a tank destroyer
Thanks, but i find that i have a tendency of getting abandoned by my team because im to slow. After this happens, the whole enemy just engulfs me from all directions. But, this may be because i sort of play the AT line as a light as i expect to be able to run away from my problems.
AT-7 is more like hide half of your Hull or so and keep firing on the enemy
Oh thanks 🙂
Considering how the gun is like on the side
oh yeah i see what you mean now
@tepid cairn ah i see, well. Considering its speed, i think you are encouraged to stick with yer team, because you need em as much as they need you, obv there will be cases where you will be abandoned out in the open, but in general, you will need to impose yourself on the battlefield and take risks for positioning, attack, etc.
Such is the way with these slow, cumbersome but punchy TDs
But thats why i love em
Also, always load prammo as a precaution, because though it may have a good rate of fire, its pen values are rather inferior to some TDs of its tier so expect to see a few full red heavies
Oooh ok thank you for your time in explaining it to me :), ill try to implement your strategies tomorrow. @spice ivy
Always happy to help
But to be honest the AT-7 have a pretty good AP pen
Yeah, it does, but im still reluctant to get it tho
I may have been backed into a corner and died but at least I beat my record for blocking shots in the T28 Proto
engine or gun first for e50
i dont mind the mobility of it but the pen and turret armor is just god awful
@feral ore Free Exp the 2nd gun or free exp the turret + top gun, its up to u
i have 900 free xp
I would say gun if you have no difficulties on mobility
Its like playing E 75 but medium-heavy @feral ore
heaviums are fun. Is the upper glacis as strong as 50m?
it is strong but your lower plate isn't good
you can face hug but it depends on what you are facing sometimes they can go through your turret
your upper plate can bounce shot good and try to wiggle or possibly side scrape
Better line ?
there is no 'better' line
?
go for the armored TDs, the Jpanther is troll
yea armored tds are a bit less skill dependant. The jpz4 is a very good tank, Jpanther is straight up broken, Jagdtiger is a DPM monster. If you go the unarmored you will suffer with the sturer emil but the wafflepanzer 4 is good and the grille's not too bad as far as I see
the unarmored ones are literally glass cannons, good damage, but once you get caught or spotted in the open, expect instant deletion
high risk high reward
I don’t know how to run this tank
oof the m42 is a bit mediocre when I played it
i used it as a support fire tank before i deleted it out of boredom
Something about long reload times for a tier V just doesnt click with me
Stick to hills. Literally
plus it doesnt have much going for it in the armored department
I loved that tank, which says a lot considering I hate tier 5 in general. The 15° of gun depression may sound like it's only good thing but it has decent mobility, a troll turret, and a decent gun to go with those gun angles. The Strv really rewards players who know how to utilize ridgelines, avoid incoming fire, and be aware of damage-dealing opportunities.
I played it the "creeper" style- stay at the foot of the hill, when there are targets pop out, shoot and reverse back
@regal aspen Play hulldown in every case, since the armor isnt that reliable, support the team
should we have m4a3e8 with better side hull armor? It's more like a light tank. The kv-1s just use the 85mm d-5t to fire HE at the side and deal about 1/3 the m4a3e8,
When O-47 got sale again ?
Or valkyria chronicles series tank
You know they could have used the Turtle 1 student proposal thing as a tech tree tank and put Tortoise at tier 10. Either that or have Badger as the tier 10. Sadly Wargaming doesn’t think things through thoroughly.
@broken turtle no the E8 is fine how it is
@solid gate it was on sale last year so probably not for a long time
how do you guys play the ''challenger''?
stock gun, hide far away and play like an e25
Any idea what this might be? It happend to me yesterday 🤔🤔
@knotty aurora Corrupted texture. Redownloading the game should fix that.
I thought you got a virus.
@eager fjord rubella especially
Umm.guys sorry to interrupt you,but can you give me tips for m7?
__Jay__C__[HE-49]#5594 has been warned.
My apologies 🙏
@eager fjord Isnt that hard, just angle your armor every time against an enemy, and also play hulldown if possible
Is the t44 good?
It's funny how the Vk30s and the VK28 are almost the same weight yet one is a light tank and the others are far from it
@next pivot Is good, but mind that ammo rack on front of the tank, be careful
Pretty much beginner friendly imo, aside from aiming time for a Soviet tank
Don't forget to avoid the 122mm
Aight thanks, i researched it and bought it along time ago, reached 100 crew and sold it, didnt like it so maybe ill revisit it again
Welp, 122mm is just for fun, no worries-
Its a medium, dont expect anything better from that tank, as its a jack of all trades... should be a flexible tank depending on a situation
Why not?
@alpine notch sorry for not replying,but I was so focus killing a leopard that I didn't blocked any shots from the leopard. Eh.
T14 grab or pass
I’d say pass
I already have it and the armor isn't all that good but the gun and mobility are ok
I got it 50% off idk when
Oh god idk how to use centurion I but I can play caern without any probs
@solid gate the Valkaria Chronicles tanks generally go on sale in September.
worth of research it or skip it?
It's neither bad nor great, research it and grind it, it's not a difficult grind
what module i should upgrade
Get the Turret and gun first, then tracks then engine
ok
@neat nimbus Free XP modules and then grind
Be warned it’s one of the worst tier 6 meds imo
I think it's pretty good, it's a second line Medium
It’s probably decent but in a tier full of Shermans and Bromwells it lacks
I think it’s better than the 30.01d
30.01D is trash, as is 30.02d
Yes the chi is better than those 2
It's unfortunate that people missed out on 30.02 M that was a solid tank
Any strats on VK 30.01 (D)
Honestly I can't think of anything. The tank doesn't have good armor or angles to take, the DPM is mediocre. The modules are exposed on the thing.
I would recommend skipping it, but for gameplay try not to directly engage anyone, and stick with your teammates
The only good thing of the chi to is the precision and penetration of the gun
I just stay with the team or use obstacles to my advantage
I did fine with the 30.01D. It was a bit of an odd tank, but it can work well enough.
These tanks are slow, big, have little armour and bad DPM, please buff
They're just really awful tanks
Welcome to the Japanese line
Ching Chong your vehicle is wrong
Hopefully the TD line will be good
the T10 is going to have stupidly OP prammo.
doesn't really matter the tank is big and is flat as hecc
I'm grinding XP in the Chi To and it's an awesome tank
It's not that big, the front can troll bounce and the gun is just beautiful
Chi Nu is trash but I just play it like a Strv 42 with less gun depression
"Not that big" lmao, it's almost the size of the Tiger I
My favorite tank that i have is the AMX30 1er prot.
Now remove the armor and give a worse gun. Your Tiger I became a chi-to
I personally never had any problems with the Chi-Nu and Chi-To
@tacit sentinel what else do you want other than angled armor and an auto loader lmao
.20 accuracy 🤣
@raven jacinth Chi-Nu is way too slow for a medium with such light armor. Chi-To is also big and sluggish though not as bad as Chi-Nu.
that's your opinion, but I personally said I had no problems with those tanks @solid gate
@raven jacinth Then you are a rare person. Most struggle with the tank and I can see why. It’s slow, useless armor, and the gun takes too long to reload and probably isn’t as accurate as it should be.
sure useless armor, what do you do when playing a tank with no armor lol?
you play it as a Second Line tank
Even that doesn’t work because teammates can and often are greedy blocking you from shooting. Also it is possible opponent shoots you instead of the front line guy by accident or on purpose. The tank just isn’t fun at all.
It’s not as easy to play second line as you claim. Nor is it easy to be an effective sniper. Honestly I’d rather play Chi-Ri over the tier 5 and 6 ones. But even Chi-Ri isn’t great.
I don’t remember chi nu much but it wasn’t good
I don’t remember chi nu much but it wasn’t good
The Is7 needs a gun buff more than a HP buff really
Today I saw a Jagdpanzer E100 in my team obliterate an IS-7 completely full hp with an ammorack. It was so surprising I fell down the chair for laughing lol
IS7 ammo rack right now is a dumb design. The ammo rack being in front would be fine if the front armor wasn't a pike nose that could be penned if you angle even a little
Not to mention the lower plate is even weaker
it got buffed
So is it a good tank I know the firepower is decent but the armour is mad good
armor is good
T29 is a great hulldown tank. (Great turret bad hull) @limber hornet
Hide the hull, shoot, pullback, reload, repeat.
I almost quit the game....
Yeah I love the game except the at8 that was such a pain in the neck
It's the only tank that's driven me that far
You might nobody else tends to
It's got too many weak points coupled with slow traverse and not much going for it drove me insane (yes I get it's ironic that I'm mentioning weakspots when I love the chieftain/t95)
@tulip sail eww that thing is so disgusting
does anyone know when the super conqueror will be for sale?
Though for how it will be on sale I can predict crates with near certainty
@solid gate So you think Chieftain/T95 is disgusting?
@tulip sail The AT 8 and AT 7 got armor buffs but not sure it it was enough. Well the hull should be impenetrable but the cupolas I don’t know about.
Obj 140 or t62a
From fighting them It hasn't been enough of a buff so even I wont touch that
there are weakpoints in the hull that are exploitable to those with a keen eye and good pen values, but a bit of wiggling prolly solves that
obj140
T-62 for stat padding but 140 for a more fun experience
Is the panther ii getting buffed tommorow
Yes or no because i will not buy it until it gets buffed
That's what the released patch notes say
Yes it definitely needs a buff
worth of buy it or spend on new legendary camo for the tiger 2
I mean personally, I wouldn't do both those options and rather save the gold
but if you're a tank collector then go for it
but if you don't play Tier 5 that often then go for the camo
That camo is dope af. Go for it.
It indeed looks good
Wot blitz Nerf the All japnes TD it's so shit annoying it reload is 5 sec cant even do anything Nerf it ITS CRAP as shit
Cringe
I’ve heard many people asking for Japanese TD’s buffs. Not for nerfs
@solid gate Perhaps instead of sharing your thoughts to the English Speaking Server in a vulgar manner, you should do do the following: For one, the Japanese TDs barely just got released and it is unknown if they are indeed overpowered or underpowered yet. Two, try to reason with your thought before suggesting, it could be flawed in some way or another. And three, Try to keep a clean attitude and express your thoughts in a respectful manner instead of an awful one. Thus said, Please, And Thank You
Not to mention only the Chi-To SPG with the stock gun has a reload time of around 6 seconds, and a pretty low pen.
Hello there, newbie's here. Question: On which tier the tanks has a crew? I've got V tiers actually and can't see it anywhere.
Wdym?
why isnt the BT-7 ART never for sale?
@solid gate you mean the crew training? I think it's on tier 6
WG just fix the bs repair costs for the wz 113. 4k damage 3 kills, not one prammo fired yet I lose 30k. Stop that.
@zinc condor Yep. Now I don't know what to do with exp of my fun tank Pz.IV D.
Everything researched and I've got 9k exp to nothing.
I would switch to giving this exp for crew (like in normal WoT) but I can't. 🙄
Hey, how do I play M6? It has even less armor than T1, and everyone pens it...
Just get a tier 6 or something i kinda forgot
@neon sorrel It hasn't less armor. A little bit more. It just fights with higher tiers.
@solid gate it definately has less armor on the front of the hull, which is the most important part for a heavy. From 127 to 102. Its only advantages are smaller reload time, and more HP. This is why I am asking, since as it fights with higher tiers, it's much more challenging that T2
@neon sorrel Don't look at the values given by WG in game for armour, use the armour inspector app. The M6 has armour from 100-150mm where people will aim, the T1 has 85-130mm where people will aim.
I have a question about the Japanese Heavies. Are they to op for blitz or something? I'm just not completely understanding the whole thing. I play xbox and computer and have the tier V O-i Exp and Tier VI 0-I Heavy. Or is it like to much work? I don't know, I'm confusing myself more then I should be right
@tame hill They are likely way too big for the game, so WG says didnt plan to make them in game
But who knows in future though, we have Maus line exist with their enormous size
@tame hill Japanese. Don't say "Jap". It's not going to kill you to type out five more letters.
@tame hill it is a racist term and you will not be saying it here.
BlackStar#6881 has been warned.
@solid gate Fine I will say it elsewhere. It's not a big deal, Only racist if you make it that way
I'm not going to debate the meaning of a word with you. It is not acceptable to use here. End of discussion.
On a different note, I came here to say the Black Prince is OP af and needs a nerf.
doom777#1732 was muted
uhh any of you got advice for how to play t 34 85?
wdym it's the best tier 6 med. Go with other meds/lights and rush enemies or go with heavies and use them as cover to hit reloading enemies
idk i seem to not do very well with it
they can be feisty buggers if the one at the helm knows how to play em
Good gun, questionable armor, you can try hulldown or peekaboo vs other meds.
Save HP for late game, because you will definitely need it.
T-34-85 is a good medium, high Alpha for it's tier.
Try to stick close to the Frontlines, though mind your armor, it's not the best. Try not to eat shots when possible, if you have an ally with good armor try to stay out of their way, but after the Enemy has fired take a shot.
It's not a good brawling tank with the reload, but it can outtrade most same tier mediums at range
^
A lot of meds on that tier have a 75-76mm gun, so you can trade fairly well with them.
peekaboo it is then
Chi To has no armour or mobility. VK 30P is slow. VK 30D has nothing put pen. The M4s have no armour. Only the P43 bis is better than the T-34-85 at the tier.
And VK 30.01 P
And VK 30.01 P
It's good but turns like a train
Not really
i also need help on at8 too
Camp and snipe
Not sure how 60° Per second is "turns like a train"
Imo the only problem on the VK 30.01 P is the flat armor, gets penned 90% of the time
Turret is really good tho
^^^ and it has Ramming capability
Not sure how 60° Per second is "turns like a train"
I didn't main it. I just grinded it to keep going in the line. It has great armour when angling and a dope gun so I liked it.
ok, can we talk about how it's possible to have a damage ratio less than 1 and over 3k average damage now?
Smh, not even doing damage equal to your vehicle's health
Positive, it's all down hill from here 😔
Also if you want a truly fun duo run Maus + E5, that Reactive armor Consumable is super troll with the HP buffs
@lyric oriole Or just run 2 Mauses and never lose again 🤷
Even one Maus weighs the battle heavily it's great
i hate how an amx 12t troll bounced my shot and i got shot by a kv 2
I just need to find someone to run a Maus toon with at some point
whats a good way to go against a VK.36.01(H)?
@lyric oriole Not enough though. One Maus can be ignored. 2 is a big problem though
Cry, Prammo, Flank if possible.
VK 36 is kinda busted right now so use premium ammo when necessary and don't hesitate.
i guess flank or peek from side is better
If you hit dead center on a broadside shot there is a good chance you will damage the ammo rack so if you have a sideshot go for that
M5 Stuart has NINETY DEGREES of traverse
wait wot
Woah, a complete circle in 4 secs wth
hmm idk why but i never did good with US tanks
just what the tiger 2 needed a beautiful historical camouflage
the name tho kinda childish imo
was better if only changed to king tiger and yes thats how the american troops called it
i am thinking of buying the camo but should i save gold? i mean is it worth saving? i am f2p btw
If you really like it go for it if you dont then dont
Gold has better use than for cosmetics but the camo does look nice so I wouldn't blame you
If you're an F2P, it's better to spend your gold on garage slots, the IS-5, free XP, and tier 10 crew training
free xp is kind MEH
i have the is5 already and a couple of other premiums and i get my free xp from using boosters which are like 300
im about better save gold for the e100
i actually don't need that much garage slots now and i have a lot of lower tier tanks so i might just sell them
and i never thought about crew training didnt seem like a good trade for me
sell collectors if you want some gold may give a good amount
guess imma go for it then
i will be left with like 560golds
the only collector i have is nightmare
ooof
i sold the other ones given by WG and i am not an OG player
inb4 Tiger II gets nerfed back into oblivion
i remember the time when WG gave for free 1000 of gold
that is what i am scared of too lmao
and atgm tanks would see it as a big fish
i got the kv2 legendary camo because it is quite decent for me and iam sure there is no further nerfs hopefully
men now im scared if they nerf tiger 2
i wouldn't mind it if they made it decent not make it garbage as before
They said that they would nerf its traverse and not the armour if required, so it might not all be so bad
How
What how?
Mm
i see
Armor ghost in wot blitz
O
@vagrant estuary might be an auto-ricochet
Why do I need the last gun?
3rd one it has better pen
Also think the 3rd one looks better on mine than the 2nd one lol
I’mma be working on my own tank lines because or even for reasons.
Cannot even play because still downloading update.
This is bug???
Oh they managed to break jpanther again
reinstall the game
Rip jpanther side armor
How did they manage to mess up JPanther’s side armor behind the track system in the first place?
it was a bug where when they increased some armor in a specific part of the tank but it caused another part of the tank to be buffed as well
That sucks man. I bounced shots on that area even when trying to aim for the casemate sides instead of that section while driving T20. Either that or as he was turning and I was moving RNG would troll me.
But now it seems there is a bug with hit skin(s). At least JP’s hit skin according to that guy.
same I remember everytime when I fired an SU 152 ap shell into the side of a jpanther under the casemate in btw the tracks it would always bounce. It initially surprised me because I used to be able to pen that part with no problem in prior updates. Luckily they are decreasing the armor back to like from a whopping 160 to 50 mm
Yeah. Hopefully they got it right this time and that part is weak but the upper front plate is still strong.
experinced players get destroyed by the update
cuz they have muscle memory to aim for track shots
yep especially Russian tanks can get ammoracked by firing at the spot just above the tracks
Well I think I wasn’t aiming high enough when at point blank but wasn’t necessarily aiming for that section in 6.8 update. More like lower casemate but could hit that part instead. Because RNG and not my best aiming.
Yeah 6.7-8 made the jpanther armor just broke xD
im fine with the upper plate
just load gold™️
Yeah but before that I quit playing it. Not just because grinding other tanks after I finished grinding it but also because it felt meh at best.
JPanther may be fairly quick but still can be flanked. Especially if he is in open. JPanther in open is just asking for medium to kill him.
Yeah I guess the jpanther armor buff didn't really make it such a huge issue because gold could do the job and it's sides are weak as ever.
True but when you get to the tier 8 everything gets insane @solid gate
@slender cliff JPanther II (which probably isn’t the paper drawing it’s based of’s real name)? I went Ferdinand. I hate JPanther II. Wish it got armor buff too. Guess it cannot get gun depression buff because rear casemate. And don’t start about hiding the hull.
Btw did JagdTiger get armor buff this update or will that be in 7.0?
@solid gate I mean ferdi is a good tank but its slow and not flexible unlike the jpanther2. With its great alpha and insane dmp and speed, the jpanther2 can totally wreck heavies if you know how to go hulldown and flank. Its not a frontline tank. It should be a close support assault tank. And no the jadgtiger did not get a armor update
@slender cliff Then it must be next update. Maybe 7.1 at latest. I think it should get one and so should Ferdinand even though Ferdinand is performing well somehow. Makes no sense how since while it has better armor than JP II that armor is flat and not reliable. Also it is slow on the traverse. Horrible traverse is annoying. But I think Ferdinand is more similar to JT than JP II is. JP II does not prepare one for JT.
True but the jpanther2 hones the player skills on it specific strengths and weaknesses making the player better if they are willing to learn. From the jpanther to the jadgtiger is a huge buff so it is even more beneficial to the player. @solid gate
@slender cliff I disagree. Only thing they share is sloped armor. JT is about armor and is slow. JP II is way faster and has worse armor so the play style for it is way different. Well ok both may have good guns. But I think JT can get it’s down just a touch more. Still even JT isn’t breaking records on gun depression.
@solid gate I agree however JT and jp share strong case mates and weaker hull armor. True that the two have diff playstyles but it’s just that the Ferdinand isn’t flexible like the other two. It really falls short from the speed and weakspots
@Dimitrov#2399 Well I cannot disagree. In fact I may have to look up the Ferdinand/Elefant more closely. Because I’m not sure it ever had a 12.8cm gun irl. If that rings true then I’d say it should be tier 7. Also I personally would prefer JP II have more armor and be slower or have JT 8.8/10.5 as tier 8. Get the play styles to the same or quite similar.
Panther II still didnt get a buff!! 😡
@novel locust they have plans for it, it doesn't mean it will come out next day
What is best for wr I am currently using pz b2 but it is not very effective
@solid gate eh it is just making it more beginner friendly like that go for fred if you are about slowness and armor
Jp2 is amazing as it is
Should i go for calibrated Shells or Dpm boost for the is4 ?
Need tips use the slow churcill VII
Probably Chaffee if you want the new US light tank line
Depends on whether you want a medium, light or a heavy tier 10 tank
All three lines have some really fun tanks
how to obtain marder III?
@round carbon if wg would ever sell it in shop or event, only then you can achieve it
VK 30.01D have like slapped armor Can WG give it some armor Buff but not the HP cuz it always dies like in 10sec?
This tank any good?
@hoary verge it can do well if played right. Decent armor and a good gun. It won’t be fun stock though
Is the Borsig good?
Yes borsig is good
What can I do now with this
nothing probably
Yup
