@solid gate Jag and E25.

dense torrent
#

it's really up to your playstyle

solid gate
#

Oh thanks i see it 250 armor and E-25 is a good sniper
My playstyle is Sniper

gentle wasp
#

Jagdtiger is really strong now with the buff, and E-25 is still really solid, one of the most fun tanks in the entire game.

dense torrent
gentle wasp
#

the E-25 has really good pen, and the gun is good enough to play long range if needed.

#

huh weird, it failed to pen me while playing T-34-2G FT, maybe he wasn't aiming his first 4 shots

Hello

#

I just realized almost all MTs that are first generation MBTs share the same gun

solid gate
#

All current gen ones still do

safe acorn
#

The L7 Royal Ordnance was really popular back then huh?

safe acorn
solid gate
#

It became the NATO standard gun

safe acorn
#

But if you think about it Leopard I is more to the A1A1 variant and M48 is more to the M48a5 variant

solid gate
#

Russians use 115-125mm cannons mainly the 2A family of guns that are different to the west’s l44

safe acorn
solid gate
#

M48 ingame is slightly incorrect the base model did not have the M68 gun only the M48A5 which has a raised engine deck on the back did

safe acorn
#

And shouldn't Leopard 1 have more pen since it's the A1A1 variant?

solid gate
#

It’s not the A1A1 variant

safe acorn
#

Iirc DM13 and DM23 are APFSDS shells not APCR

solid gate
#

It’s APDS weaker than fins but stronger than APCR leopard 1A1 is visually entirely different than the base leopard 1 model

safe acorn
#

I'm confused right now since different shells in both WoT and WoTB exist

#

Man I'm confused with just one shell called DM13

#

Even so Leopards standard penetration should be higher than 277mm

scenic crest
#

personally, I think that DPM tanks need high penetration values

#

and large alpha should have better HE penetration while the AP and APCR on large guns should be a bit less than DPM tanks

spark basin
#

vickers line

scenic crest
#

Vickers is about to get a nerf tho, also I think that the idea should apply to all tanks in the game like how the Bat Chat and leo 1 should have better penetration values

spark basin
#

its a minor pen nerf though

scenic crest
#

its still a nerf

glass otter
#

Leo 1 already has one of the best pen values of its class

wise moth
#

@safe acorn The tier X meds with APCR standard actually do fire APFS ammunition. While in game it’s portrayed as APCR, this is because it shares the same 2 degrees of normalization and ability to shoot through walls and stuff.

However, there are 2 key differences between the APDS micro class and normal APCR shells

  1. APDS shells lose very little pen over distance. Tier X APDS shells only lose like 5-10mm of penetration at ~500M or so, compared to comparable caliber APCR shells which can lose upwards of 20-30mm of penetration

  2. APDS shells have even more shell velocity, usually ~1500m/s base, as opposed to comparable caliber APCR shells which usually have ~10000m/s shell velocity

safe acorn
#

Oo ok thanks for clearing the path@wise moth

scenic crest
#

wow none of this makes sense to me lol

wise moth
#

@safe acorn Also, Leopard 1, and the other L7 armed meds used to have 268mm of APCR/APDS penetration, but it was nerfed down to ~250 for balancing reasons

scenic crest
#

I see

safe acorn
#

Hm doesn't Kpfpz-70 have APFSDS tho?

wise moth
#

Nah, it’s APDS and HEAT, although WG actually messed up a tad and mixed up the names of the shells, so the HEAT shell has the APDS designation, and the APDS shell has the HEAT designation.

If you’re looking for APFSDS, the only tank in the game with APFSDS is the Chieftain/T95, which has APFSDS as prammo, although it behaves just like normal 90mm APCR

The 152mm Xm150 can hold the same ATGMs on the Sheridan

wise moth
#

@safe acorn I stand corrected, I checked, and the APCR shell on the KPFZ 70 actually is APFSDS. Although it shares the same properties as an APDS shell, just slower

safe acorn
#

hmm apfsds shell thats slower than apds

#

afaik T-62 has apfsds too irl

safe acorn
#

Yes on the U-5TS

#

But WG gave U-8TS which is unsearchable, i tried it

#

I mean blitz isnt known for its historical accuracy

safe acorn
#

Iirc Tiger II had an Autoloader and Stabilizer addition

solid gate
#

i dont mind it if its for the sake of balance

#

Armour Piercing High Explosive Discarding Sabot?

solid gate
#

Yes lol

safe acorn
#

Sounds like APFSDS with explosive filler and a large caliber

solid gate
#

it got added to war thunder. it seems it does very good on angled armor in that game

wise moth
#

@safe acorn Yeah, but I remember doing the math on it. A 380mm gun on the Sturmtiger would deal 3750 damage on its AP and 6400 on its HE (basically around ~2800 splash damage on average)

So even if you don’t pen something, you would straight up one shot it

safe acorn
#

Sounds like Artillery to me

#

Which it is and WoT did have an event about it. Just that the HP it has and dmg is astronomically high which is acceptable for a fun event

solid gate
#

Sturmtiger was used for demolishing bunkers i believe

safe acorn
#

Pesky AT teams hid inside them and have height advantage over German tanks where roofs aren't protected at all

solid gate
#

AT crews are much more effective counters than tanks against tanks

#

They still are

#

ATGMs cut through tanks/ifvs like paper

#

and AT crews are mobile. Tank commanders cant see them easily

Combined arms tactics says hello

What about nuclear missile launchers on top of a tank's track? Good to have in place of Sheridan....

Is e50 m line worth it

distant pewter

ye

#

its for beginners considering the fact that u have a good armor, good mobility, good gun handling

jade saddle
#

I thought t-62 or 140 is great for beginners

distant pewter
#

and the line is easier to grind than the leopard 1 and the reason for that is being the leo 1 having no armor and e50m line have armor btw panther's armor got buffed

distant pewter

Ah ok 👍

tip: all no armor tanks are hard to run for beginners because you will get punished every single time you made a mistake so be aware of that

balmy wagon

I got leo 1 as my second tier 10 and it's a bad decision and it's hard to play, but now it becomes enjoyable to play, T-62A would be nice for your first tier 10 because it's easy to play.
but idk about E-50M

I’m grinding the Russians rn I heard it’s noob friendly and I am the biggest noob

distant pewter

I do enjoy the Germans also in most cases if you research a heavy tank line first is it easier to grind a medium line ?

distant pewter
jade saddle
#

Or am I wrong

#

I loved the heavy line so far for the German heavies but I am more of a medium tanker

distant pewter
#

heavies are the easiest to play and the reason for that being is the armor cuz if u made a mistake, u wont rlly get punished that often

I don’t mind heavy tanks tho I want the 11-5a but it’s a collectibles and I’m poor

Are British tanks good, specifically tier 4?

British medium line is pretty fun and heavies is pretty good they have great dpm and really satisfying to bounce shots

distant pewter
#

except the fv215b 183 which has a long reload

jade saddle
#

My highest tier is 8 in chines medium line

distant pewter
jade saddle
#

Yes sir

#

I enjoy the Chinese line because of the high alpha top strongest medium tanks with the current meta I think are 121,stb, and t22

distant pewter
#

chinese tanks lacks gun depression but chinese tanks bring alpha to their gun

balmy wagon
#

121 have alpha and dpm, it can trade shot for shot then hide on hardcover with other meds and gaining an advantage, but if it's in open field, it'll win against stb, patton, or other meds that have less dpm than 121

jade saddle

I think Leo has highest dpm but no armor

Who said u cannot side scrape with 80 mm armor

spark basin
#

i got proven wrong, good to know

hollow moth
#

HEAT and HE just ignore this angle, so here's a good tip:

You see a tank with 80mm armor trying to sidescrape? Shoot HEAT! HEAT ammo can only recochete at 85 degrees (which is extremely hard to see in normal situations)
If you still can't pen, use HE, 100 damage is better than 0

nocturne sage
#

@hollow moth does side scraping work only for meds and lights same tier or below

#

The sidescraping doesn't change on tank tiers, the utility of a side scraping depends on enemy gun calliber@nocturne sage

HEAT never richochet but alright, and also don't try to shoot HEAT at it while they're moving because you might miss and hit it's track neglecting you to deal damage ofc to those who cannot time and aim right.

Actually HEAT does ricochet, but only at 85 degrees angles @glass relic

Idk why they’re removing the missiles the thing they loved and wanted to introduce when could just increase the armor on most if not at least all of the tanks to make the missile harder to pen you

It's irrelevant to buff up tanks armor just for missile then they have to buffing the other tanks pen too, meaning the cycle will repeat like the heavy HPs

Yea just realized that

also missiles can straight up nullify angled armor especially if they come in from above

@nocturne tiger yeah, it's a good TD.
It have good DPM because of a generous reload and a good alpha, the penetration used to be bad but it was "resolved" on 7.4 update

Your main problems will be the lack of armor (Your armor will only work against tier 6 tanks of a few tier 7 meds, but it's normal since you're a medium TD) and the precision (which isn't a problem too because the maps aren't big)

Yeah, get that turret 100%, your gonna need it to do well. The stock tiger II is hot garbage with its horrid weakspots, and the first 10.5 is arguably better than the long 8.8 it can mount, even if there is a noticeable DPM difference, since Tier 8 Heavies will easily bounce the long 8.8 guns AP or even its prammo since youll be fighting them likely from the front..as you should be with the Tiger II, as its a frontline heavy

I dreaming about sexy beast E90 in blitz, armor like E100, canon 128mm (little better statistics than E75 have) , mobility like E75, nice looking and balanced premium or collector tank on tier IX, think about it WG.

Oh my lord..that is beautiful. But I think its armor should be a little less than E 100 so its more of a fair fight for tier 9s

I know that, but E100 armor would be a little overpowered for a tier 8 to go against (little? probably much more than little, especially in the hands of a skilled player)

strange thicket
#

Being a premium doesn't mean it shoukd be broken

wispy rain
#

The thing that makes me want to go against it going in is that its basically a better E 75, which is kinda not what I'd want. This E-90 shouldn't completely invalidate the E-75, but instead serve as an alternative. Better Armor, but it should have significantly worse mobility, worse gun handling, worse spotting range, worse turret and hull traverse, maybe slightly worse frontal turret armor so you play it more like an E-100 by angling the turret

Can someone help me understand why the IS 8 has less armor than the IS 3 considering that is one tier above?

I don't understand what are the good things about this tank. The turret can be pen on the front, it has almost the same speed and hull armor as the is 3, and damage.

So basically I'm just paying to get 500 extra hp on the is 3?

Maybe in just playing it the wrong way but I feel like it was a really bad investment

Lorraine has mobility and the clip size, super perishing has...nothing.

So, the super pershing has garbage turret armor that can be easily penned, awful mobility for a med and a meh gun. Lorraine 40 T has paper armor, good mobility and a great autoloader gun.

jade saddle
#

@gentle wasp do you have a British tank I don’t hear people talk about British tanks that often besides the TD

tulip edge
#

@solid gate In my opinion, I believe the E-100 is. It has slightly more mobility, better penetration if you’re using the 15cm.
Also I think it is more comfortable than the maus, because the average ‘noob’ will have little understanding of using the rear mounted turret. If you think about a noobs movement, they tend to expose themselves and get themselves killed way easier in a rear mounted tank, as they are exposing themselves far more. E-100, in my experience watching noobs play, is far more friendlier to their basic movement.
Both tanks do require knowledge of angling the turret and hull to be truly proficient in it though

Oh! @gentle wasp how do you feel about the Czech line coming up and about the stg?

@jade saddle hyped for the Czech line just because it is some more meds for me to play. not too good at autoloaders and don't know much about the rest of the line, so not expecting too much other than that. better to set expectations low and be pleasantly surprised I guess.
As for the STG I have very little interest. big alpha and a strong turret is nice, but I need gun depression. I won't be buying it.

Play smart, relocate to new positions. Be ready to run away at any time from incoming fast tanks. Use your allies as your back-up in case a Dracula or a T49 shows up (they are quite literally the anti-SP 1C). Use your big damage potential to slap someone while they aren't looking at you. Your small stature and good camo makes spotting a viable option as well, use it well. Try to not be frontline, but don't snipe in it either.

I'm pretty sure the original idea of the prototype was (correct me if I'm wrong here) to take the Panzer I's the Germans had left and turn them into a new light tank, essentially revamping them so they were still usable, near the end of WW2 probably. Guessing it didn't get far since autoloaders in a tiny light tank doesnt really make sense for the tech available at the time

hollow moth
#

@wispy rain actually no, according to the wiki of WarGaming.net (not an official website but have some good informations about tanks), the SP 1 C was designed on mid 50's (1956-1962 to be exact)

wispy rain
#

Ah, thank you

#

@wispy rain that’s not it at all spah panzer was supposed to be a scout tank

wispy rain
#

..Isn't a light tank a scout tank? Kinda seems redundant to call it a 'scout tank' when 'light tank' seems like a more aptly fitting phrase. After all, what sort of scout tank gets an 85mm autoloader?

solid gate
#

It’s an 88 the gun design is also for low velocity rounds which was the norm for light tanks post war

wispy rain
#

Ohhh okay, gotcha. So the cannon can't really pen a lot of armor with its lacking shell velocity, then.

The gun normally would rely on HEAT which doesn’t require velocity=lower pressure since all the payload is within the round

E3 have an actual good armor and broken consumables, when compared to E4, it have some slightly better gun stats like precision and gun depression/elevation

E4 have a worse armor, precision, gun elevation/depression, but have a turret that can turn 180 degrees. Also, it's acceleration is better.@stone minnow

Go for E3 because it's a real good frontline TD, even Jagdpanzer E100 HEAT can struggle to penetrate it if you don't aim well

The E4 really needs some more gun depression to make it more competitive; personally I think it just needs 1 more degree of gun depression to be there, but more is welcome

How to play 215b

solid gate
#

does the Maus need a buff?
now i have had the maus for a good amount of time now, i get its playstyle and everything, i can easily pull a 2.5 - 3k game relatively often, but i feel like it either needs a buff or tier 10 premium ammo needs a phat nerf, heavy tanks specifically. the Maus with calibrated gets 327mm of pen while the t57 heavy, is4, e5, and e100 get roughly 340 without anything. and then these tank are practically counters to the Maus because they just load heat and bam penetration, ez gg end of game. people always say "jUsT AnGle MoRe" but what can i do against 3 shells with 360mm of pen from a t57 :/

#

but, then again that begs the question- how would you buff it

  • buff the armor it might be too strong, however it would be more specific for the Maus and make it stronger itself
  • nerf tier 10 heavy prammo is much needed and would give a big indirect buff to the Maus, i mean this should happen anyways like cmon
    -buff the gun, that would be nice, i think the pen is ok bringing more reason to nerf the overkill pen on other heavies ahem but like, maybe an alpha buff that was brought up before, it makes it more formidable and scary instead of like an e5 just sup bro and spam heat into your upper plate with nothing to defend with ;-----;
open solstice
#

The prammo on heavies need a nerf
The maus is good in state
It only struggles with prammo spam of heavies and that too,can be avoided by angling

solid gate
#

but its just so difficult, if your angling you cant shoot, and if they cant pen they are not gonna shoot you they just shoot your team, defeating the purpose, you go shoot and a big heat round in you cheek and its just so

Obj260 shouldnt and won't replace is7 in purpose, from the pic it seems that the hull is based on 252U, maybe it's a faster is 7 but less hull armor, turret armor might be less due to the designation, but still can bounce a lot of shot from whatever angle

@lyric oriole Who hurt you after honeymoon?
And then the 252 is good, particularly it's sides are impenetrable. I've literally never penned the sides after a dozen matches.

lyric oriole
#

A long long time ago when people actually used forums we used to talk about things like this, a person sent in s ticket inquiring and it was confirmed via support screenshot and all

#

Now trying to find a link to that thread from about 4-5 years ago, that's more of a task then I feel like looking for but if you have the time search it up on the NA forum

kindred wren
#

There is a ten games period when you won’t get into a match with tank higher than yourself (unless you are in a platoon or upgraded your tank)

wise moth

*5 game

I certainly won’t search the forum which is super messy for proof of your claim (I wasn’t certain if it’s 5 or 10, looks like I guessed wrong)

low rampart

Do you mean you don't play against good players for the first few matches?
And I thought I was the best in the game...

kindred wren
#

No, you don’t play against higher tier tanks for the first five matches

low rampart
#

Oh it's a tier 10 so I played tier 10s and 9s.

kindred wren
#

And then there is another rumour that there are somewhat separate MM queues for players below 5k battles and players above 5k battles

lyric oriole
#

Pure speculation on my end but I've noticed I'm generally one of the only tier 10s during the honeymoon period

#

Why is everything a rumour?

#

On EU and RU that exists

wise moth
#

^

low rampart
#

I haven't played a full tier 10 match yet, only me and another tank, then others were tier 9. I'll have to test a few more.

kindred wren

Because WG never explicitly stated it as far as I’m aware

And I won’t state something as a fact if I’m not sure that it’s a fact

#

Show me an official statement and I will instantly take it as a fact

wise moth

@kindred wren I can't find the original statement, but here's a statement referencing its existence

#

"In update 5.4, we improved the matchmaker in order to put newbies against each other more often"

/Mic drop

hushed shadow
#

so this ‘honeymoon period’ ends as soon as you buy one module? Even if you don’t have the engine and tracks, for example?

#

Because I got an STI and T54E1 yesterday, and both were bottom tie in the first battle, and all I bought was the top gun on the tanks

kindred wren
#

@wise moth picks up mic If you read that it is very clear that this has nothing to do with the number of battles played

hushed shadow
#

I never read anything on the 5k battles, and idk where people found out about it being 5k battles

kindred wren
#

@hushed shadow Yes, one module is enough, at least in my experience

RU 251 or get the ingen panzer after the sp ic

I personally would go for the Ru 251 because I think it’s more fun, but the Indien is also a decent choice if you like med gameplay. Both aren’t incredibly strong but I think that the Ru has more potential

So far not a huge light tank lover. So it's hard choice. I still dont have the panther line yet so might go back and grind that idk

The Panther line is a very solid choice by all means

The Leopard 1 line on the other hand is rather underwhelming and sometimes outright a pain to play

From a more objective standpoint, Type 62 is pretty mediocre nowadays, especially in the heavy meta, and when there's Smasher's and Annihlators running around. It's just not as special as it used to be when it was the only light tank above tier 5

They need to make the stock grind for old vehicles easier, vehicles that have been recently added have such a short stock grind, but older tanks have like 3 engines, 3 guns and new tracks

@tulip sundial it’s called free exp

tulip sundial

And that’s something not everyone has

But everyone can get

Just because you pour your wallet into the game doesn’t mean everyone else does, and I used all my free xp on other tanks, I don’t keep 200k free xp laying around

lyric copper

I literally don’t pour my wallet either, and yet can still make more than 50k free exp a month

kindred wren
#

The xp required for each line is something Wargaming considers. I haven’t actually done it but if you could all xp required for a line together you should get more or less the same value in the end, but that’s just speculation on my end

tulip sundial

50k would barely get the gun of a tier 8

50k really isn’t that much all things considered

do yall even use free exp boosters

tulip sundial

Yes, I have 300 of them

why aren’t you using them

tulip sundial

I do use them

Still don’t make enough for 2 20k engines, 16k tracks, a 47k gun and an 80k gun

#

Whereas newer tanks have 1 60k gun, a 20k engine and a 15k track

kindred wren
#

What tank is that? ISU?

lyric copper
#

I’m sorry what? you don’t research preceding modules on previous tanks?

wispy rain
#

So, the problem is that a lot of tanks in the same tree don't share modules with their predecessor

tulip sundial
#

Right now I’m doing the SU-101

lyric copper
#

and you didn’t get the gun from the M1...

tulip sundial
#

No because that tank is worse than the 101

kindred wren
#

Without the top gun it’s certainly worse

tulip sundial
#

But why should there be so many guns? New tanks get like 2 guns, their stock gun and their max gun

kindred wren
#

My recommendation is to get modules as low as possible. The higher the tier the worse the stock grind and the stronger the competition

lyric copper
#

the top gun on the M1 has the 2nd highest pen at its tier for standard, highest prammo pen as the St.Emil lacks prammo

tulip sundial
#

I’m doing fine in the 101, I’m doing 2k average I just think it’s dumb how many guns and engines there are

lyric copper
#

just so ya know, the KV-1S has a gun that’ll be used all they way in tier 8, and IS has an engine that goes to tier 8, make sure to get them there

tulip sundial
#

I already have the IS-7 and IS-4, but thanks

wispy rain
#

I mean, the top gun on the M1 is pretty good..other than the accuracy that I despise and the awful gun depression. The chassis just doesn't suit the gun well IMO, despite its strengths.

lyric copper
#

@tulip sundial then you should know how to grind Soviet tech trees

tulip sundial
#

But things like the IS and KV-3 aren’t actual trash like the M1 is... I guess the Kv-3 is trash now but i grinded it back when it wasn’t

lyric copper
#

only reason M1 is trash is due to the -2° gun dep

kindred wren
#

The KV-3 isn’t trash and never was trash

tulip sundial
#

But you look at the Kranvagn or the Ho-Ri lines and they only have 2 guns, but older tanks have like 3-4 guns

#

@kindred wren you dont see it used often because it’s outperformed by the IS in every way, it’s been powercrept

wispy rain
#

Okay, let me explain. The M1 is actually pretty good, but it has a very unique playstyle. You need to be almost balls-to-the-wall, rush in and blast, then angle and wiggle to bounce enemy shots. Sniping is basically impossible with 2 degrees of gun depression, and the gun accuracy is pretty bad. It's got good dpm, great pen, and good alpha, and its a really speedy thing.

tulip sundial
#

I have no issue with that, it’s how expensive old tanks grinds are

@tulip sundial Part of the reason why the SU-101 grind is bad is because the SU-122-54 grind is nearly nonexistent. You get the gun from the SU-101, and the engine from the T-54 so all you have to grind is the tracks

hollow moth

Same goes for E100 and VK 72 lines, if you finish all the E100 line and got all the cannons and engines, all you need to do is get the turrets and the tracks
