lol
@plain wagon yep, get the Tier 10 gun
i wish there is a tier 1 gun for a tier 10 like the patton tier 5 gun last time
@solid gate E3 has a small, so mostly negligible, 60mm-80mm weakspot on the front
gl hitting that lol
I have great luck with hitting that. Usually if I see a hulldown E3, I let off a shot towards that, which hits more often than it should, and then I go find something better to do lol
I can't say I have ever hit that. Time to spam HE at hulldown E3s. For science!

If you w...
deserved
It deserved more TBH
That happens when the 113 gets ap shells
its gonna turn slower than a superheavy now
That’s one tier 8 heavy down more to go
ah yes now ruin the tiger 2 a bit the armor is too op
the 2 key exists
this is modesty in its truest form
lol that's nothing in uprising
Why did you not filter out the tanks that are already in the game?
Which would be like... 75%
maybe it was a hjoke idk
Maybe I will laugh when I understand it
@solid gate most of those are already in game
is the dracula good?
Good? Yes. Op? Not anymore
Its good but not nearly what it used to be its not even in the top 5 anymore
whats the top 5?
Well, depends on who you ask
the general top 5
Id say in no order
Anni
Smasher
T29
Bp
And I had a blast with the chi to spg
thx
K one thing. This is a ridiculous question that I want you all to answer straight. Yes/No.
Is T49 A/Was T49 A balanced?
Bruh no way it was balanced
One person ik thinks its balanced. Smh
T-2020 balanced.
Does the B1 have preferential match-making?
@acoustic raptor no, the Pz. B2 does
@humble storm No. The T49 A was not balanced because it was A) one tier lower than the actual T49, meaning you could meet tier 6 tanks while you had 780 alpha with HE to slap them with, and B) you have autoaimable missiles with infinite range that you could launch vertically and then autoaim onto a target for an essentially guaranteed direct hit to the roof armor, similar to how an IRL Javelin anti tank missile works
the Pz. B2 does
What's Pz. B2? 😄
This tank
@wise moth did they ever fix that one tank that would break the game for tier 3?
@solid gate You mean Pz. 38H? Yeah
Thx @wise moth !
I'm terrified and both super happy to see how extensive the T-2020 buff is, becuase it really needs an excessive one for how much WG wants us to pay for it.
@lyric oriole not sure if this was a joke, not Pz. II J?
@plucky summit Pz. 38 H literally broke the game a few updates ago
The light touch of the balancing sledgehammer
Tanks got stuck in the game after it ended and PZ 38 H would dump it's ammo rendering the gun useless
Oh really?
W a ck
Yeah
Pretty sure I was the one to discover that, not 100% sure but I never saw anyone else notice it until I brought it to light
Only reason tried playing it was because the anniversary was then
Wait so the gun would shoot out all the ammo or sumn when the game ended?
No, the ammo would be gone
You don't need ammo, just ram
Also it wouldn't give credits or exp at the end of the battle
So it was just a body shield and it would make the game last forever?
Pretty much
It would break free eventually but tanks Could get stuck for up to 20 minutes
@hollow notch light??? That thing deserves a good extra 20mm of frontal armor to at least somewhat match the IS5, since it's an "upgraded" version of it.
It's not, but the T-2020 could perform fine with a good driver
._.
Sledgehammer
Light
How to play obj 268 just got it
The T-2020 is tunneled becuase people know it's a stupid hit point pool that cant bounce unless you hit the tracks.
Doesn't stop me from 2.1k avg dmg >:L
I can do that in it, but it's hard to when every team wants to yolo into you becuase they know you cant bounce.
Then they're actually pulling tourney strats, and should win over casual gameplay
@lyric oriole we got another
.ban @obsidian ravine spam
I can't find user @obsidian ravine.
speedrun leaver
Mee6#3605 was banned
ah yes

What is the point of doing things that gets you instantly banned?
this is great, free YT content for WG
Lol imagine spamming a pixel tank game discord server a video of cow belly memes.
Arl needs a nerf.
WG didn't give me honeymoon phase on my Emil II and now because of it I hated the tank, because of it's lack luster DPM and sluggishness.
Or maybe i do get the phase but instead the nub i was supposed to clap, is in my team and need a hard carry on this tank.
having to grind stock tanks against top tiers has left me to conclusion that honeymoon is quite useless
How to be pro with the object two hundred sixty eight
How to be pro with the object two hundred sixty eight
@lyric flume
Step 1 : try to spell it as obj. 268
😉
Whats better? Su76 or marder 2? Im tryna restore one of them
camp
snipe
help your teammates
its literally that simple
try to play it at medium range (hulldown) and spank tanks every time you reload, gun is stoopid accurate even when you rocking back and forth
so strats to play at pubby games
at start, set up early ambush against meds or heabies (if map allows it, if it doesn't slack at back a bit)
at mid game, if most enemies are spotted and you don't have shots on them then reposition yourself to different position, but if you have shots on them then shoot (do not rush frontline).
you got best camo rating a td can have at tier x, so use bush and 15+m trick to be invisible while spanking tanks.
at end game, rush and kill low hp tanks like your life depends on it (if ally team haven't been completely obliterated), or hold your ground at medium range
@candid harbor bro thank you
gun is quite accurate to be at long range but shell speed is quite slow, so try not to be at long range sniping moving targets
Ok
@stone echo your not helping idiot
@lyric flume lmao someone got roasted, chill dude
@stone echo dont talk to me again
drac or helsing
Depends are your play style, Drac for your speed and ramming needs, Helsing for troll armor and double shot gun (2nd shot is always less accurate)
Drac is love, drac is life
I prefer drac two face, my fav out of my tier 7 hybrid nation tanks
Please Move Bulldog Ammo rack It’s Easy to do And Hard To grind Please Fix Upgrade the armor To 56 Mm So players Don’t Die And Lose about 22k Credits For doing 1k damage And Here’s the ammo rack Now Why isn’t it Not ram Proof. Needs to be In Turret With 56mm armor All around the body Thanks for Reading 🙂 It needs a buff like bad on the armor
Why did you ping frost lol
Idk
Don’t ping the mods they have literally no control over what is implemented in the game
Oop
😠
I have this app OwO
Heh Armor inspector
i inspected my Pz.III and found out the reason why i keep getting killed oof
my ammo rack is my enemy's target
Oof
Should I buy the IS-5?
If you're free to play, yes. If not, save the gold and get a better tank.
Ok buddy, if u wanna get high damage and kills and credits I suggest u to play more often, don't yolo or do something dumb, stay with ur team, take every chance u have to shoot someone and run if thing gets sticky because ur a light use ur speed, and why in the world will u buff a lights amor, u want bulldog to be a med or what,? All lights have almost 0 amor but u have reload, speed, turn rate, acracy, way better then other types of tanks.
I see people with 55-64 wr in bulldog , they say it isn't a sht tank they say itsa rly good tank and that they have no problem playing it, so it has 0 amor, all lights has 0 amor haven't u seen? But anyways just stay with ur team, play more often with it and run, shoot anytime when u can, ur a light remember that.
Thanks wg, from second crate lol
Maybe you have some recomendations for this tank guys?
When is the Polish nation ??
@stoic rose
Just keep hulldown even if you know you're going to die.
Then go have some honeymoon time with someone and it won't be useless.
@glass relic as if that ever going to happen
We already have 10tp and 14tp
Leo gets overmatched in tier 8, and im one unfortunate being whose leo gets in tier 8 only. Can't get emil before December ends😩
I know
pta is poop
pta really stands for poop tank for real
then FT in WZ-Series FT stands for Fake Tank
And the B in the Maus stands for Balanced
U in 252u stands for underpowered
It'll for sure
there is hope, for even potatoes
Do the mating calls, and take out your stock su-152
thank you O wise one, I go implement this knowledge
which gun is better on the vk 36.01
the 8.8 or the other one
8,8cm
Guys, what should I buy with almost 11K of gold? SU130PM, AMX M4 49 or Chimera Phantom?
Depends on your playstyle
What would you recommend?
Out of those three, I would likely get the chimera
Probably Amx m4 49 for me
(My French bias is strong so yeah)
I would take chimera, high alpha, best for trading against other meds
t49 needs ap
Why?
@balmy wagon also more hp than other med tanks
it's rather mediocre as far as HP, and using sandbags only gets you slightly above average while sacrificing overall performance.
Just use big sandbags and hp equipment, 1484 hp is enough, rest of provisions is big food and small food
Although chimera is almost completely dead against annihilator
Chimera has a big gun but it’s slow for me....
The reload is slow, but the Armor quite well
It's worth the alpha and profile.
It's not slow on straight move, it can goes 40-50 km/h i think, bad thing it's traverse speed is a meme
True, depends also on your playstyle
Playstyle is the key, but if you want full enjoyment over the game, learn to have all role Playstyle, it'll make you become a jack of all trades and can enjoy every good premiums making them become obnoxious for your enemy to deal with.
Yea I was disappointed about the traverse that’s for me a no go... sometimes it safes your life when you wiggle in a med
how play
can someone help me get close to m103
Wdym
reshearch it i have 135k xp on my t32
Are there any premium TDs at tier 9?
i want aleast 150k and then ill doo the rest
@lyric oriole yea
‘Yes’ 😂
^^^^^
He wants help grinding the tank it seems, maybe someone grinds for him?
big brain
I still have 4 lines left to finish. Gotta do my own grinding first
If that's the case that's not allowed @loud jacinth bannable potentially
wdym i can be banned from needing help that kinda sucks .-.
needing help = ban potential got it :/
@lyric oriole just buy free xp
No grinds needed
I’ve ground tanks for myself before
It's also researching a tier 9, if you can't get through this I can't imagine how you'll be with a tier 10 grind
@loud jacinth you can't share accounts and have other people grinding for you if that's what you're asking for
Account sharing isn’t allowed. WG won’t be responsible if you mess up with sharing your login
thats not what im asking for
You wanted a platoon?
im saying i need a platoon tm8 and help me win battles and etc :/
Then why didn't you go to #platoon-search , or even ask for a Platoon?
my wr is like 45% and thats why people dont platoon with me
I dont play competitive I just play for fun
I don't play competitive either
low average tier gang
nvm....
Anyone a bit concerned about this tank?
fair and balanced yes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEjw67THjyY&feature=share When on blitz???
The Bisonte C45—the first Tier VIII Premium Italian heavy tank—rushes into World of Tanks! This is the first vehicle in the game with an improved autoreloading mechanic. How does it work? How is it different from the standard autoreloading mechanic on the Italian medium tanks? And what exactly does the Bisonte look like?
To keep up to date with...
Strange#9857 has been warned.
F
Lul 🤡. Anyways. The performance of this tank on PC wot is below average
How is the Chimera's accuracy?
not even close
it's not bad for a 127mm but it's definitely not good. low shell velo as well.
done
I'm really really I dunno like really struggling with my Decision right now
I main Hype 59, T-54, T-62A
Ive bought T54E2 Shark and 252 (VERY good tanks) but I don't play em anymore coz it's not my style
I play my IS 6 and IS 3D more than the those two
I really want opinions on the Chimera, really looking for a Prem Med I can truly enjoy as much as HYPE 59
I'm not the biggest fan of it but it is unique and fairly enjoyable.
Its definitely a different tank than the 59 but its good and pretty fun to play
Hmmm
I'll sit on it for a few days then make my choice
How long is it in the store?
How should I be using medium tanks?
depends on what theyre good at. If its slow, armored, and powerful, like a Chimera, then play support because youll be flanked and spanked by speedier tanks.
if its fast and nimble, like a Spaghetto, then you can involve yourself in more wild plays like hit and runs
Ah i see. Thanks 😊
WG needs to add this chad tank 🥵
@shell summit They'll add it when/if they ever add the Soviet rear-turreted medium line
STG already exists ._.
Not tech tree tho
Yeah but they're getting warmer
It most likely won’t be added as it’s part of the K-91 line, and we already have that as a tier 9
(At least that’s how it is on pc and console)
@shell summit WG will probably just rename the tier 10 med, or even the tier 9 heavy. Kinda like how they renamed T67, since it used to be T49 until the tier 8 light tank came out
The only ones testing it are also the ones that come from the top clans in the region. They make any tank look broken
I want this
Maus or Leo 1
Maus
On both lines I already have the tier 7 vehicle
Do you want a meta tank with a low skill floor or a fun tank with a high skill floor
Fun and high er
Leo1 then
WR*
@proven oasis Well, for Maus vs. Leo 1, you can really only pick 1, winning or fun. Maus will win more, but Leo is more fun
Meta as in more impactful in winning game. Dracula's what the Leo wishes it was in t10
I already have stock SP I C stock so is the line fast and easy?
@next solstice no lol just no, testers arent pro's only
In fact i've seen maaaany v bad ones teehee
I'm well aware of that
But let's be real, from what we've seen so far the mle 54 is quite op lol
Mle 54?
Amx m4 mle 54
Ohh that thing big
at least its a bit more killable now
The only thing I’m worried about is what line is the best to grind
So Leopard 1 it is
It depends
You can't carry as much in leopard 1
What are you looking for? A very good heavy that blocks tons of damage(when angled right) and has a lot of hp to trade? Or a Light tank that is fat enough to be an MT while acting like a TD? @proven oasis
dis balanced
Type 62 > T6 Dracula
What
250mm pen HEAT, 300 damage HE, more DPM, better repais cost factor, better credit coefficient, slightly better precision, better camouflage (no camouflage decrease while in movement), better view range, smaller profile, etc...
And the most important factor for your wallet, you don't need to buy loot boxes to get it
drac: more hp, insane accel and mobility, good weight for ramming, super fast automatic track repair, HE-proof spaced armor, 10 degrees of gun depression, and more alpha
I also seem to hit more on-the-move shots in my drac than in my type 62
Actually Type 62 have better mobility tho, terrain resistance and transverse speed are superior
the accel is nowhere as good as the drac
top speed is also higher
I still prefer the drac
There you got a point, but on the "to hit more on-the-move shots" and mobility are actually points on Type 62, instead of drac
people overall perform better in the drac than in the type 62, higher average damage and winrate
Yep that's a point of drac
It’s because drac has the sides entirely covered from he and absorbed by tracks neither are no longer as strong as they used to be
I have 239 battles in my type 62
winrate 64.85%
dmg per battle 1412
kills per battle 1
3 M badges
None asked about your stats, lmao
just saying, I love the type 62, but although I only have 88 battles in the drac I still feel like drac suits me better (got the drac 2 months ago)
maybe you will llike the drac when you get it @hollow moth
Oh no, I won't get it because I don't work with loot boxes if they cost something
auction
Auction tanks are overpriced
15k gold for a drac is a pretty good price tag for me
Nah, for 15k I would buy a cheap T10, wasn't 121B for 12,5k?
I have been wanting the drac like 2 years ago, finally got it
15k gold for a tier7 ? Hell no
You could buy the 252u for 5k gold, drac doesn't deserve that amount of gold
You are better off with lttp
they can get nerfed, it's not really worth it.
besides, 121b is not that much of a spectacular tier 10 for me
Yeah but stills a T10 that can actual give some credits, drac is a T7 and can find Smasher/Anni@nimble vessel
do you think smasher is worth it for 15k gold?
Nope, neither a tier 7 tank
would you choose drac or helsing
Helsing cuz of Boom-Boom gun, ik Drac is better
what tanks do you want
Should I keep m103?
have you researched the e5?
if yes then sell it
Yes
In an actual top 5 it would be
- Helsing
- Fury (ik it's basically a M4A3E8 with skin, but I actually like the movie)
- Obj 252U
- Jagdtiger 8,8 (only cuz it's op lmao)
- Badger
rlly
fury is f'ing useless imo
lol last christmas it was sold for 30k gold
Ik, same goes for Loza's, but at least the movie is good
idk why the price was that high
fury is expensive just like the movie
Cuz it's very rare and some people theorize that the authoral rights (aka copyright) make it's price even bigger
how is it rare lol, was sold for 5$ back in 2015
2015*
Not much people played since that age
welp Emil 2 was bad as garbage now its just a peck of dust
:(
The furry isn't that special. We have an e8, loza, jackson(rip), and now the rudolph(the flat out better version), and the Sherman's have always suffered against higher tiers. Heavy buffs and new tanks introduced have Honda killed it
it's "Fury" not "Furry" you god damn fur suit wearing people
It’s an old joke about the name of the tank dont know what prompted that reaction out of you
Lol, italics were used for a reason my dude
250 gold base pen on tier 7 light is very nice
I've had Type 62 since release, and I've always wanted to like it, but I just cannot for the life of me make it work
Really positive? Interesting
Git gud nub
give me a good things about chinese tanks
Fast aim time, and low amount of dispersion for a 122mm gun's on their meds, while also having the best DPM heavy at T10. And also enjoyable TD from T6-8 rest at T9/10 are kinda meh since there are things that can do their job better.
i see.
thanks, mate.
dpm, overall speed, great turret armor
@hollow notch Yeah, I'm terrible in single shooter lights and similar tanks. I can only play paper autoloaders
It’s funny how the amx m4 45 is supposed the French cumulation of German tank designing but it seems to only take the parts of it. I hate the tank. Nothings good except it’s gun but even then it has a long aim time and it’s dispersion is wack. It’s is horrible and I though getting the tracks would make it faster as it did on the arl but nope it’s still slower than evolution.
it is undoubtedly worst french tank@nocturne sage
@candid harbor AMX AC 46 would like to have a word with you
ahh, forgot about that one it is that bad
Why is it even still here. Wg should have removed it in 5.5 (is joke)
See, there's a logical fix to it too, they should just give it an autoloading version of the DCA 45. Then it'll be more compatible with the rest of the line, and a decent tank to boot
xd @nocturne sage
jokes are funnier when people jump to conclusion without context
They are but it’s annoying seeing the chaos that follows. I like chaos but sometimes it’s just ew. Also the max ac 46 doesn’t seem too bad. It has higher damage and better pen
https://tenor.com/view/elmo-burning-burn-hell-red-gif-4977777
chaos! chaos everywhere
@nocturne sage O, it's way worse in reality than it is on paper. It is probably the single worst tank experience I have had above tier 5, other than maybe the T28 protoype.
The absolutely massive profile is easily penned by almost anything, the gun is incredibly troll, it's not that fast, and overall was a massively frustrating tank
And this is coming from the guy that kinda liked the ARL V39 too
It’s seems to be a trend that t7 tanks are just the worst in most lines
[mention not long ago unnecessarily buffed german tanks]
(T29)
Oh yeah, and I did forget to mention that the last time I played the AC 46 was before the buffs to T29, before Smasher, before T25AT/JPanther buffs, and before heavy tank HP buffs
I bet nowadays the AC 46 is even worse than I remember
Seems whenever WG has some decent buffs or nerfs it’s alway 1 step forward 2 steps back
I know I’m new at this but at tier 4, the M7 is just frustrating
how do you even use a vk 30 01 d, gotta get panther and i have nearly 0 free exp
Play it like a traditional medium tank, move quickly, peek to shoot and angle the tank in order to bounce shots. It has a good armor and mobility.
If you're shooting at a moving tank, aim a bit in front of the target, in one end of the tank, so the second shot shoots the other end of the tank instead of missing.
Also preferably shoot at the sides where the chance of both shots missing is low, there has to be a lot of room to penetrate, you can't shoot at a small spot because only your first shot will hit it.
The upside of that is you might miss the first shot and then the second randomly might penetrate depending on your luck.
Say for the kranvagan should I go for the reduced reload or more pen?
you mean the equipment? vent or calibrated shells?
go for calibrated shells
374mm HEAT pen is pretty useful in frontline, mostly when your DPM is low and every shot counts
Also can a calibrated e100 and vk72 with gold shells butter the turret of a kranvagn ?
@minor mica lemme check
@minor mica heavies can not penetrate front turret armor of kravagn (when hulldown) but they can attempt to shoot cupola
@minor mica e100 can attempt to hit this when kranvagn player will raise gun to hide cupola
but chance of penetration with calibrated heat shell is 18%
Chimera or Amx mle49 🤔
Chimera, i'd say
But it can when it’s not in a hull down position right? Or only when the slight angled part faces them ?
one minute@minor mica
I clearly suck at it if it can
@minor mica against calibrated heat of e100
you can actually penetrate with he if you shoot at cupola
Yea tho I’m trash if I can’t use the turret correctly
i would just shoot with he, if I really have to shoot hull down kranvagn, or shoot hull (if you can see it)
Yea thanks for the help tho it really made me think how I play in the kranvagn
there is an app called armor inspector, you can check armor stats over there but it costs a bit to check higher tiers
if you arent willing to pay then you can use my armor calculator but you need python interpreter to run it
it only works for tier 9 to 10 atm
I’ve used armor inspector before but thanks for the armor cal
wink
i just got the arl44 and its hella slow, should i do the motor modules first which increase the speed alot or go straight for the big gun module first?
turret, motor, gun, tracks
or go for gun
tank turns like ship anyway
go gun
aight then
@brazen tangle slow but decent front armor and good upgraded gun I did engine last.
225mm pen at T6 butchers everything
the two last gun mods are 225dmg and 212 pen, and the other is 310dmg and 165 pen
less dmg more pen or more dmg less pen?
The 90mm DCA 45 gun is better like, WAY better than the 105mm gun because it can pen and butcher everyone.
interesting huh, alright thanks for all the advices
Wasn't the new update supposed to come today?
yea
Say what time is it for you guys?
just updated
huh
Guess I’ll try getting back on again without my dumb WiFi
Well tells me that maintenance is still going guess I’ll wait
They need to make the t28 how it is in real life
You can hesh the cupola
See detailed stats. Premium pen and damage
Standard shell has always been 560 it never was buffed
opinion on the tiger everyone?
It's a tiger.
make a camouflage that actually looks like a tiger
Daily dose of your editing skills is good enough
Noice
I also tried it and failed.
<3
For the Vk 30.01 P, should I free XP the engines or turret first? I’ve already got the 88mm gun, fyi
engine first
Is churchill 1 better than churchill 3?
It is in almost every way other than HP and a bit side armour.
Oh ok, thx, i thoguht i made a mistake of selling it, guess not
I can't feel batchat buff, it's little bit nicer but.... Yeah
Lmao
Churchill 3 is the only tank in the game with an xp coefficient
So you can seal club xp grindathons and events that give multipliers for lower tiered tanks.
XP coefficient ? What's dis? Never heard of it so this might be a juicy info for me.
So I was not being stupid by buying 1.5k Churcill 3 offer?
Hey so I was just trying to play with my jpanther II and after about 15 seconds of being in queue it would kick me back to the garage anything I can do about it?
NVM I just got in
This cant just be me but is anyone being kicked out of queue
Please add artillery, it would make the game more strategic.
Well surely a missile that can become an artificial artillery exist, and now we're cheering they're gone from normal random battle.
Please add artillery, it would make the game more strategic.
@orchid cove In ur dreams buddy, in ur dreams
Sigh
What about a kill cam?
World of tanks is not world of tanks without artillery.
Artillery is a type of tank
Also I think they could have some shell drop
This isn't world of tanks. This is a variation of it. If you want arty you gotta play the world of tanks. Not blitz
Ok
Got the exclusive sheridan he seems so nice
@orchid cove artillery pieces are not classified as tanks, hence the name "SPG" or Self Propelled Gun
Then there's this SPAAG, and you could call this as an anti air tank.
World of tanks is not world of tanks without artillery.
@orchid cove well this is not WoT that u know, u can't just add that artilery mechanics here due to the map's size. So no, if u want SPG u can play WoT, not WoTB
WoTB is a testing ground for WoTPC new mechanics n such, for the great example helsing as the double barrel tank that pretty much took years for WG to put the mechanics on PC, which racks the playerbase getting more interesting options.
Someone pls tell me how to avoid being butchered by 183's
T9 and T10 I rarely see people even in the open,and when they go,they get blown to hell
That is t10 nowadays
Move and die
Lol, just lol.... @pliant viper @static harness
Lol an stb was in my team,I got targeted by two fv183(in my Sheridan),stb came in front of me at the perfect time and got instakilled
get down mr president
Lol
Is the vk 30.0.1 good
30.01p or 30.01D
P @pliant viper
3001D is lit
reee
But I’m the only one on this server that feels this way
reee
FCM 50t is lit
Is the vk 3001 p good??????
I don’t like it but @gentle wasp does
Ok
Weak tank tbh
VK 30.01P is pretty solid
I’m a big fan, it’s fast, punchy, and good hulldown.
I think it’s random
I just got it stock it is slow but blocks damage well
which gun is the best for tiger 2
The top 105 of course
Ok
Chafee best gun the auto reloader?
no
Chaffee only has single shooter guns though, and the top one is clearly better
Crap i was looking at the bulldog lol
in that case the single shot is also a lot better. T71 exists if you want an autoloader.
For M41, I use the single shooter. The autoloader just makes it a worse T71
I was just curious. I play my pantera when I want an auto
When I want an autoloading tank, I go for M4/FL10 burst or STRV 74A2, I kinda have Bat Chat 25 t too but I need to get better in french lights before play it more
Well so does the KpfPz-70 (I just mix it up) also has 152 gun but the alpha is bad...
KpfPz 70 have an interesting alpha that WG could use
I mean, KV-2 is a tank that have a too big damage for it's tier, KpfPz 70 have a low damage for 152mm cannons, then why not swipe them?
KV-2 will still pretty derp and this buff is a deserved one for KpfPz
Why a bad idea? It's obvious that KV-2 have a too high alpha
@hollow moth
Well look, the KpfPz-70 is already a very good tank it fits to my playstyle so that’s why I love it so much lol and
Yea it’s annoying but where would be the sense to have now a KV-2 2.0 at Tier 9 also a premium don’t forget the Turret
Anyways, it’s a good tank, for me it was worth it, sometimes you lose, well yes but it’s a decent tank I just like it
Well, much people don't like KpfPz 70 and it's alpha isn't really normal for 152mm cannons, mostly when we are talking about post war tech. At high tiers, this calliber is already pretty common, I might don't own it and I can't argue much about buffs on Kpf, but I think the classic damage fits more
It’s in my view point of the playstyle, and that you have to wait long for a shoot, I mean... 17,4 reloads without anything... and the same Alpha as the Sheridan and the depression is meh, also blessed by RNG, unfortunately not so much lol...
You talk about KV-2? well, of course with less damage, other buffs would make sense to maintain an effective DPM, maybe reload or pen
I talked about the KpfPz-70 xD 😅😅 And here is my average dmg in it
As I said decent tank
Not bad, I'm not so good in tier 9 at all 😅
The only tier 9 that I actually did well was Bat Chat 25 T AP
I love tier 9 you can have more experience in high tier and learn more then just using only tier 8 or tier 10 but that’s my opinion
So as you can (I was wrong lol outdated information) it has 16,64 second reload without any consumables and it’s alpha is 560, pen meh... I’m fine with it
I just find funny, WG thought that 560/480/640 is fine for a tier 9 heavy, but 640/540/940 is also fine for a tier 6 heavy
🤷🏽♂️ I can live with that, it’s still a good credit maker
Well still.... I have the feeling that Wargaming will make it rather or sooner to a Collector tank...they sold it this year like... 5 times...
Yeah, last year I considered get KpfPz 70 instead of Löwe & E25 pack, but welp, my Löwe doesn't regret my choice
Low Tier is because of "some tanks", which I won't mention by name, made it... crap, that’s the reason why I actually stopped this year completely to play (most of the time)
any advice to play Cent 7/1?
i do better with Cent 1, but not this one.
I’d like to give you some advice but I don’t have, can’t help (sowwy)
Hello, I got a question. Which tier V tank is better? Pz. IV G or KV-1?
unless you plan on playing a lot of tier 5 in the future, the tank itself doesn't really matter, you just have to decide which line you want to go down, and what tier 10 you want in the endgame.
it's fine, mate.
@gentle wasp ok thank you
no problem man. I personally don't know much about the tanks themselves either, so I can't really help you there.
All I can say is, that I’m surprised that many players are going now forward for it and play with it, I would go as well there someday but the speed... a little bit slow for a med traverse, idk though 🤷🏽♂️
Tier V is worst tier imo
Bhak, tier 7 is dead already
Caernarvon thinks he can sidescrape against tiger ii.
I don't think so, I guess the tiers 3-5 are well preserved from the broken premium spam @crystal hare
I mean, you won't see a Smasher in your T1 heavy, unkess if you do a fail toon
Yep, if you're a seal clubber then it's a better factor for the tier
I rarely play t5, only if someone is tooning with me that low
I like tiers 3 and 4, I sealclub there
I stopped seal clubbing about 5 or 6 months ago, low tiers only stand in my garage if I need them to reseaech other tanks of if they are rare
My Groß is an exemple, I haven't played with it since December 14 of 2019
Just remove kpz weak points on the turret and give it the 640 and whatever the rest of the alphas are
Your funny..... please no.
Well tbf kpz turret can be penned by pramo
It would kind of be a worse e4 a tier down
Sighs...
Well, you'll need a 280mm pen AP, 290mm pen APCR or a 300mm AP to pen KpfPz turret if it's not using all the gun depression
Those numbers aren't that common betwen meds/lights @brave night
i can't pen that turret with my pramo
Look, M8 I can understand why it "would” need some buff but... where is the sense then ? Make it op and that everyone wants to have it and spam with ? No thanks, I think that most people don’t want see that, I own it too, and I agree on that point, yes I love it, because it’s magnificent what it was in real life I’m still fascinated and get never enought of it, it was a big failure between West-German and the USA but without that tank those both nation, the Leopard 2 and the Abrams wouldn’t be or even exist (what I highly doubt) now as we know & see them
Uhh what do you know why the Abrams and Leo were created
Yes I mixed now history stuff too now but what I’m trying to say is, it’s a good tank and depends about the guy who does use it
Alpha slamming mediums with a decent turret is not good enough I guess
They were made because the Americans and Germans wanted differnt things
Couldn’t decide on one thing except the 120mm
But like I said make it a worse e4 a tier down
I mean I rarely see anyone use it as a heavy
Lol the amount of times I’ve beat kpz with a med
To counter the T-62 or the T-64 u don’t know but the KpfPz-70 should replace the Patton and the Leopard, and yes I also know about those...
Agreed-Problems, like Germany wanted it to have more mobility, faster, auto-reload cannon (120mm which the prototypes had) and the Americans wanted to have more armor, the 152mm and the ability to shoot rockets, they never agreed about it and then there were also the Development costs etc.
You do realize we still don’t have rockets Herman’s don’t have a auto loader
As far as I know that, I might be also wrong correct me then, but I’m hella tired now it’s 1 am in the morning here and I’m going to bed now
Or a 152mm and that was never the plan either
Yes I do, anyways both sides learned out of it
How to not make a tank
Well the 152 maybe we did but bad idea either way
lol the amount of time I've beaten a med with a kpz
However, it’s one of the most unique Tanks what i personally know and does fascinate me still
Mmmhmmm
Mmmmmhmmmmm
Brings out my t55a
What ?
uses cover like anyone with a brain should do
Rushes to use superior dpm
Yea, rush me. As the rest of my team then farms you
Spotting is worthless stat in high tiers
Fair enough
Anything has the ability to spot for itself
Also I think t55a is good
Okay, this is going in a direction that I don't want to see, however. I wish you a nice day / evening / night. I'm out🙌🏽✌🏽
Gn
55a is a solid tank
I don’t know why people bully it
They don't bully it like they bully the kpz
T55 isn’t in game
It is
T55a, blitz nation, tier 9 medium tank

Big brain time

Question: I have 587k Elite EXP in the 252U, and I need 78k Elite EXP and 788k credits to get to level 5 of robustness. Will it take the 78k Elite EXP from the 587K in the 252U? Or will it take 78k equally from all heavies I have??
I guess for all
Also i thinked the 128 mm in VK 100 would have a muzzle brake, but it don't have
Also it's powerful
should i run gun rammer or calibrated shells on my is4
@solid gate rammer
It doesn't need more pen with its 380mm of heat pen
@solid gate calibrated
@candid harbor why does it need more pen?
to maximize chance of penetration
@swift trout
btw,can we get a panther m10 buff?maybe like armor buff becuz tech tree panther is better than panther m10
You can go through the frontal plate of a maus with prammo, pretty sure we don't need more pen
@solid gate tech tree panther is a tier higher lel
@swift trout 340*
IS-4 have 340mm of HEAT pen and 374mm with callibrated
I stand corrected
ive been having a bit of trouble penning maus lower plate with standard
@candid harbor uhh no it isn't
340mm is already good, but I would run callibrated shells on IS-4@solid gate
no?
ok i will be doing that
@solid gate panther m10 is tier 6
panther i is tier 7
No...
wait really?
lel wut
when did it leave tier 6 xD
Idk if you would feel offended, but I'm laughing my kidneys off rn
yikes
xd
F
Should I get the T-44-85????
no
Ok...
@swift trout shooting maus at this angle, rammer vs calibrated shells
last picture is if maus would run 4% armor boost

Ah right, the armour boost makes cali necessary
yep yep
without armor boost, rammer only has 27.27% chance of penetration
but with gold it is easy pen
I see.. I am sorry about my mistake and not considering the mauses equipment
i think they did a spoiler few weeks back
about tier 9 polish tonk
better not be a premium i just want a meaty line to grind
i am afraid it would be prem :c
😦
EU line ideas
Czech line
Polish med line
Italian heavy line
i would love for a polish ht and mt line that would be so cool 🙂
Hell yeah, could also add some Czech Tds in
exactly
Lol, it wouldnt be wargaming if they didnt leave the cool tanks for prems only
tru mhmm
Anypne know why they gutted chinese meds rotation?
Make you grind other lines. Buy more garage slots..
@upper jolt engine power was slightly increased, so hull traverse also got increased, to compensate for that their hull traverse was slightly reduced
hull traverse has direct proportional relation to engine power, that is why hull traverse also gets boost when you use engine boost consumable
Idk what patch notes you see but its all nerfs.... I don't see any engine power increase at all. Just traverse nerfs
@upper jolt check on the official site
https://eu.wotblitz.com/en/news/updates/vehicle-changes-7-5/
official site doesn't even say hull traverse was nuffed
we'll see when the blitzhangar patch notes come out
yea
They needed it bc they were high alpha meds and stg is coming
they didnt nerf em. Blitzhangar isnt from WG, so its only showing the Open Test stats, which are not always the final stats.
Which is the live server and giving you current live info and will surely change when WG decided to change it.
Blitzhangar even has a disclaimer saying the Open Test stats are subject to change and might not be completely accurate. Just wait for the full patch notes. Usually only takes a day or two.
add carro veloce L/35 tankette
Nah
yes pls, my inner weeb wants to fight later ww2 tanks in it
Buy SU101 or Rhm
rhm
should i buy the jag tiger 8.8 cm or wait for the auction while im grinding for the snowglobe (hope RNG gives me gold)
i haven't play jag, haven't seen any of them to be imposing, so I would wait for something else
Should I stick with grinding the heavy french tank or with the EU heavy tank line? (Although if i do EU idk if to keep going after emil 1 or switching to another one)
if you are new to game then kranvagn line would be much easier for you, as it is armored, flexible and they aren't super duper slow
unlike french heavy line which at start is slow, flexible, then tier 7 is poopoopoo, tier 8 is fast, good gun, not flexible and no armor, tier 9 is similar to 8 but bit more fun and then tier x 50b, veri fast, guud gun, flexible and has bit of armor at front but paper everywhere else.
if you aren't new to game then go as per your preference, like mine are first speed, second gun, third looks, forth flexibility, fifith armor and at last camo.
@brazen tangle
i really think wargaming is doing 3d style camos just like wot pc
I tested the Rudolph reindeer tank cannot fly.
we got scammed
Yes its hack atack maybe
Why not test that again on the 18th
What do you guys think of that tank
E 100 German tank is an anti-tank?
?
@river cradle well, Lycan have a broken feature (literraly a 1000mm+ plate around all the internal modules/crew) but the tank itself is so meh that none cares about
It's just another average 122mm heavy
23 years ago I liked the Dune game series where you had different levels of tanks also; trike , devastator, ..house of harkonnen etc..
If you side scrape right it let's a lot of shells bounce
Ok, so? @solid gate
Well, it happens with most of the heavies too, I'm not surprised @river cradle
Right
Someone talked about that fantacy tank tech tree before today..
Its a fantastic unreal tank so 🤢
I have ob.140
It's tank premium I like tank premium
Wtf
That’s just the feature internal modules can’t break
Yep @ember bobcat
Have you ever noticed why it's impossible to damage Lycan's crew or internal modules? That's because of the 1000mm+ plate inside it
Also lycans crew can be injured it’s the modules that can’t be damaged
yes the crew can be killed, modules except track and viewport nothing can be damaged
How, is it something inside it?
I said before but seems that yoy didn't read... @ember bobcat
There's a 1000mm+ thick plate around all internal modules
I saw that, I meant how was it found out. Can you see in some inspector app or something? Or did wg say something?
Wg said in facebook if I'm not mistaken, but they didn't present it's data in armor inspector @ember bobcat
Oh ok
@ember bobcat it’s in one of the armor inspector websites I don’t remember which one
Oh ok ty👍🏽👍🏽
I like t-34-85
I like 111-1g ft out of all TDs that I've played.
What if you give KV-5 SU-152 gun as an option ?
KV-5-152
it still would be a bad tank
@glass relic an underrated beast
looks cool
I'm waiting this reword to continue through american TDs line
Any device how to work with the E4 TD I just got it today and have no idea to use it
Like equipment ?
you don't. the T 30 is better in almost every way. I keep mine tho because it was my first teir 10.
Thanks
@rigid condor t110e4 is still the best tier 10 td. Turretless tanks are trash
Turreted TD gang
Oh yes.
But tds are seriously trash. If you want an assualt style td, an e100 does that job much better than any td.
If you want a sniper style td, the leo1 is gonna be a lot more useful
Laughs in jageroo
Basically wanna have fun in a flexible TD pick 4005 and dont waste your time on E4
Only problem with e100 is that you can pen turret with out pramo
That's mostly false
that's only a problem if you play it like a heavy anyway
It looks like I'll get a T-44-85 as 2 chieftain boxes spammed 50 parts of it. Is it good?
It’s a very easy weakl spot to hit when face hugging
that's why he said play it as an assault td and not a facehugging heavy
tho if it’s at range or I don’t have accurate gun it’s hard to hit ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Jageroo does a better job at that
you gain some gun stats and lose a ton of flexibility and 750 HP. Not worth it.
But you have a better well “turret”armor bigger dpm and alpha
Plus if you take where your supposed too and your team is competent you wouldn’t be flanked
It is basically turret and hp
Or big boy gun
The Jageroo "turret" is just as weak as the E100's, if not more. and again, the gun stats aren't worth the tradeoff of flexibility
Those features can’t help you when you can’t deal with something on your back or being permatracied
Thing is it had a bigger gun manlet and e100 is easy to circle as well
It really isn't, the turret traverse is quite good for such a huge tank
And you can always perma track and circle a e100 too negate that
E100 can still defend itself far more than the jg can so that’s irrelevant
Not if the turret is too slow
A turrets a turret it doesn’t matter
Mk
Guns that can track the E100 in one shot don’t have the reload to perma track it, tanks that can keep it perma tracked don’t have the module damage to reliably track it with one shot
Can you one shot a jageroo?
Only one that truly can permatrack e100 is the leopard 1 and it can lose the trading battle very easily
you don't have to track a Jageroo to circle it, that's the difference
Ok
Idk about you but e100 can tank a max roll 183 hit and have enough health to remain the rest of the match meanwhile jg would sit on 400-600 hp remaining
We all have opinions
that's not opinion, it's a fact.
Some are more wrong than others
Lol, those last two comments
Wow nice jerk move my guy
Well, some say that the Jageru is better than the E100 and the others are correct 😛
lol
Honestly if I’m just going to be called dumb I’m out
I’m just joking mate, don’t take it serious
right now you're just wrong, but trending toward dumb
I tried settling this without any of this
and here comes the victim card
Just stop instigating ffs take a hint
122mm or 152mm on SU 152?
152 all the way
calling someone a jerk because he disagrees seems like instigating to me. if anything, dog is the victim.
I think the E100 is more versatile and quite frankly easier to play, but the Jg. Pz. E100 is still a capable tank tanks to its accurate gun with high alpha and enough armour to hold a corridor. So I won’t look down on anyone that likes the Jg E100 more, especially now when it’s stronger than ever because of the heavy meta (because it is great for fighting heavies)
Hmmmm I should reseatch the 122 MMs tho right?
before moving onto ISU
All I said is that we have different opinions and he says my opinion is wrong like why do you have to say that why couldn’t he leave it there
@graceful whale Yeah, it’ll make your life a lot easier because you take some of the massive grind for the top modules of the ISU one tier lower
I’m just going to leave before apparently I’m instigating
Idk ISU feels weird whenever I play it
Or is it just me
IDK I dont normally Play TDs
Need tips on SU 152
Use the 152 and just derp people in the face
I go heavy side and nuke people with ap or heat
It’s worthless on med/light side
Also bc of the he you can bleed out hull down tanks
Keep a bit of distance and you can make it work anywhere
True but lights just circle you to death but that’s why you keep distance I suppose
It’s more of a meme tank that anything
Yeah, you are a proper support tank because of your high alpha and short reload, so you should let others do the tanking and spotting and just concentrate of pumping damage into the enemies
You can get a 15 sec reload running cs
I dunno man It seems sometimes I can have massive games then sometimes I dont and get steamrolled
I have played faster TDs like the Chinese T7 and SU 122-44
Well that’s any tds problems if they aren’t assault tds
That’s normal though. These tanks rely a lot more on the team than heavies for example, and your contribution in a battle can vary greatly. It takes a lot of overview and skill to know where and when you have to be somewhere in order to win the game
^
What do I do with it?
Keep it, the dust has to be collected somewhere after all
Say what should I put for the kranvagn more hp or +4% armor ?
HP
You can get upto 2.8k hp on kran
Yea I know just didn’t know if more armor was better
Armor
Is kranvagn good?
Yes
Even having the lowest dpm?
sigh
Yeah, because Kranvagn is so incredibly easy to position. With the low hull profile, -8 gun depression, and strong turret, Kranvagn is a breeze to play, so much so that I spend more time thinking about how to maximize my DPM than I do about how to actually position thet ank
I see, I'll grind swedish heavies next then.
I think is has -9° and plus the dpm is t as bad as it is on paper because it is a clip which means you can unload for 1200 and then fire again after you reloaded or the single shot dpm isn’t bad so you can whittle the enemy down then clip them out
The autoreloader lets you play the DPM closer to maximum efficiency, but it's still really bad
Yeah but the clip makes it better than it looks
I’m thinking I picked the wrong line of Russian heavies, going for the IS-7. The IS-4
looks like a clear winner with its HEAT. Although I prefer not to use prammo, if I had to I would. Am I going to run into very many instances where I’ll wish I had changed lines? The IS-8 is researched, just waiting for me to stop spending coin 😂 .on everything else.
@hollow hill is4 is better but I have two main complain about it, is slow and too survivable tank, which doesn't provide challenging gameplay
is4 becomes very boring as your tank doesn't feel to give rewarding gameplay, you barely need to do much and you are kicking butt of enemy tanks
Well is7 is good to start with because the grind is better “cough cough kv4 and stock st1”
Kv4 isn't that bad.
Your right it’s terrible
kv 4 is nice
st 1 is poopoo
St1 maxed out is nice
i was complaining about max one
._.
It is smaller more reliable turret same level gun tier for tier and smaller lower plate
I have issue with how mediocre hull armor profile is and how slow it turns
it even moves quite slow
for something not particularly armored on flat ground
I have seen a lot of controversy around the KV-3, KV-4 and ST-I. I personally can’t confirm that the tanks are bad. I just think that they are misunderstood
yea, except for st 1 being absolutely shiep every other heavy are quite good
kv 4 being almost a tier 8 maus
What? The st1 is a tier 9 t29.
It hull downs very well, actually has gun depression(for a soviet). Can sidescrape. Has a powerful gun.
I sure hope the thing is slow
I actually think that the ST-I is fairly balanced, if not good. It’s just not a sidescraper, it’s more like a hull-down bastion that is very similar to the E75 is terms of accessibility
unlike t29, hull is quite weak on st 1
it is slow and takes forever to turn
Weak? Bruh
yep, load ap on first one
and heat on second
Walls and hills are very common. Find one (either works) and the tank is going to be basically invincible
it takes forever to get there, st 1 is more boring to play than is4
It’s literally almost the same armor profile as the is4 except it’s turret is bigger and it’s slower (and has less pen
@solid gate same gun last time I checked
if i remember it right st 1 hull is weaker than is4
Sides are basically the same, if not stronger tier for tier
is4 front is 160mm
st1 is 140mm
St1 sees tier 8s
Is4 doesn't
cuz is 4 seal clubs tier x and 9s
And that is not a good thing(balance wise)
it is fine, just too boring for me
The hulls used to be very similar, but a lot of things changed - the IS-4 got a front armour buff (including the lower plate), turret roof buff and lower side armour buff + a side armour nerf. The ST-I had its weakspot practically removed, but the frontal hull remained the same.
The line used to be a sidescraping line, but the ST-I and IS-4 has a weakspot behind the tracks which is still there, but to a lesser degree on the IS-4.
Its stupid how skilled you have to be to play the is4 skilled
ikr xD
Now that I made these claims I will check them - remember folks, first claim, then fact check 😛
@kindred wren you aren't wrong but weakspot is 50mm thick so any gun smoler than 150mm+ can't overmatch
Ngl, I don't recall anyone shooting me there and intentionally hitting it when I play them
there is however smol flat about 50mm weakspot towards the last drive wheels which are quite har d to hit
Usually they load gold and try to hit the shoulder
yea, is4 is fast enuff and armor is thic enuf to parry shells
The maus is fun though. Keeping an eye on several tanks and counter their reloads to know when to angle is quite challenging
yea, its turret isn't invulnerable
With a wall it is ._.
Or against mediums
It fun to just full yolo meds while angled and wiggling
is4 doesn't need wall, it can look into enemy while spanking them
mouse kant
Ok, I checked it, and my claim was actually correct
:confetti:
😄
There were some people complaining about Wargaming nerfing the sides and buffing the front, because the lines used to be a proper sidescraper line (the KV-3 and KV-4 still are, the KV-1 isn’t anymore and the T-150 was removed) and they turned the top into an allrounder
Now its idiotproof and dumb
Which is why it isn’t the best heavy in the game
Its defenitely the best heavy for the general playerbase
I think a good tank should enable the player to take advantage in certain situations, but not play the game for the player
The is4 just has so many advantages. The only weakness is gun depression.
Which is why it’s no good tank to play, unless you are trying your hardest
?
It won’t teach you anything
It can only be fun if you literally play for stats. Winning in it is like winning in an Annihilator. You won, but not because you were good, and you clearly didn’t deserve the win
It’s an empty, hallow victory. One won by your tank, not your skill
There we go, much better phrasing.
And yea, completely agree. That's how it feels when I play my shark
~~The Shark at least looks good 😉 ~~
let me poke my turret out repeatedly confront of 5 enemy tanks.
don't mind me as I'm just chipping away at your hp
Thanks for the insights 👍. I appreciate that
Still typing after so long lol lux :p
it’s one long msg it seems
The VK 90 vs the IS-4 (equal stats are not mentioned):
Firepower:
They are more or less equal.
Dpm: 2303 vs 2315
Alpha: 460 vs 420
Reload: 11.99 vs 10.88
Shell velocity: 920 vs 940
Penetration: 275 vs 258
Penetration is the most significant difference, and the VK wins it by a considerable margin.
Weapon handling:
Aim time: 2.4 vs 2.78 (BlitzStars aimtime)
Dispersion: 0.355 vs 0.364
Depression: 10 vs 6 (4 vs 6 over the front)
Elevation: 10 vs 16
VK is considerably better.
Movement:
Forward speed: 30 vs 43
Backwards speed: 15 vs 14
Power to weight: 10.97 vs 12.42
Effective: 10, 9.1, 6.8 vs 11.3, 8.9, 7.3
The IS-4 is more mobile, but mostly due to the higher end speed because the effective power to weight is almost the same
Survivability:
HP: 2450 vs 2650
Weight: 91.18 vs 60.37
IS-4 wins because of more hp
Armour:
Turret:
VK:
The turret is only realistically penetrable with gold, and only if you hit correctly. It is a hard shot if the Vk wiggles
IS-4:
There are weakspots, but they are even smaller than those of the VK (which is... small)
Hull:
VK:
The upper front is basically impenetrable, and the side has at least 120 mm everywhere (120 behind the tracks, so you get extra protection (40mm))
The turret ring is mostly covered and the only real weakspot when sidescraping
IS-4: The front is 160 everywhere, making it weaker than that of the VK 90 everywhere except for the lowest part of the lower plate, and vulnerable to prammo in certain conditions. The upper side is 140mm, equal to the VK 90, but 160 on the upper section behind the tracks. However, it’s only 50mm on the lower section, making it a sidescraping weakspot
Overall I’d say the the hull of the VK is slightly stronger, especially in frontal combat. Both are potent sidescrapers
That’s a stats comparison, but the reason why I decided to pick those two tanks is because they play very similarly (and braindeadly). You go straight to the enemy, do a bit of sidescraping or hulldowing or both, and just shoot them with your ok to good gun while bouncing shots with minimum effort
rear mounted turret of the VK helps, IS-4s turret is so far forward you have to reverse a considerable amount to fire
And the reason why I call the VK 90 op is because you can dominate enemies without much trouble and they will have a hard time fighting against you. You are also very flexible with the strategies you can use because of the extra gundepression over the sides. Lastly, the high pen of the standard ammo ensures that you can defeat any enemy heavy tank without much trouble
As I already pointed out in #general-blitz-discussion , they are similar because they are both very... “forgiving”
Example: I rush cap in IS-4 on vineyards, E100 and Kran rush me, both bounce shots that shoulda penned, they both get bonked by TDs
Believe me, the vk 90 isnt nearly as forgiving and is much more susceptible to getting tracked. It just isnt near the level of the is 4... Again, i have both, so i can say. I am pretty sure you only go against the vk 90 and dont own it...
I must disappoint you, I do own it
rear turret does hurt on a ridge
The side armour is angled. If you only use as much gundepression as you need your side armour is still not penetrable to most guns
You never see a vk 90 in (pro) tournaments, explain that too pls...
Also true, every time you have to peek over a hill you either expose your sides to make the gd enough to hit the enemy or expose your lower plate...
I mean, the amount of gun depression you need depends entirely on what you're trying to do
pretty sure we saw some in EU and Asia
I was curious too why the IS-4 seems to be in a lot of tournaments. The last Blitz.
@lyric copper what? Which battles?
I don’t follow pro tournaments, but I know that there is a strong movement of affirmation going through pro clans, causing certain tanks to be irrationally used because of a perceptional bias
@hollow belfry regional finals
Seems I saw it in the double elimination brackets for championship in Asia
@kindred wren 'perceptional bias' really mate...
Yes. It is not unusual for pro players to believe that they have the entire game figured out, claiming their opinions to be facts. If enough believe that it can happen that certain tanks get favoured over others on the basis of opinions, not facts
I didnt watch the asian tourn. But didnt see any in the european regionals, mightve missed but if you recall please call out the exact battle.
so idk if this is the place but i have a quick question. i havent played in awhile so please excuse the noobness. i have a bunch of tanks with blue icons on them what are they? some of them used to be premium and some you could buy with silver. what are they and why are they blue?
Well, VK 90 probably isn't used often simply because it's not widely available.
Also, it's kind of a niche use thing. IS-4's front mounted turret, and superior turret armor makes it better suited to the hull-down tank role for controlling angles while hulldown, and Maus does the superheavy thing better.
VK 90, I like to slot in as a very niche TD substitute, since with decent accuracy, high standard pen, and 460 alpha, it snipes well, but also has some flexibility, and a lot of HP, unlike TDs
Also, IIRC, R2K used like 4 of them on Mayan Ruins in almost that exact fashion, using them to lock down the reset angles on the B cap, while also relying on their HP and armor in the event of a counter-push
@kindred wren oh come now, pro's are the ones who know this game to the pixel down. The vk 90 isnt used nor nearly as much as the is 4 because its not only a completely different tank, its also very unhandy fo have a tank like the vk 90 in tournaments...
They are so called “collectables”. For all intents and purposes, they mostly earn as much as tech tree tanks, but hold a special status like premium tanks. Most premium tanks that were turned blue kept their earning
I don’t. There was definitely a difference in tanks used in NA vs Asia. So, certainly seems different favorites on different servers. The analytics didn’t compare the tanks.
@winter drift those are collector tanks, introduced in 5.5. You may also realise that you can no longer buy them in the tech tree. WG decided to do this to “make the low tiers more easy”
@wise moth thank you. But i am positive that most pro's own one if they needed it, it has been for sale quite some times?
This started out on @kindred wren 's statement that the vk 90 is op. Do you agree to that?
In my experience they don’t know nearly as much as they believe. Being good at something doesn’t mean that you understand it
AMX 30B, T-22, WZ-111-5A, Badger, T95E6?
Aside from that, pro tournaments are no measure for how strong a tank is
@hollow belfry Well, I think most teams could pull up a VK 90 or two if they needed one, but it's not like an IS-4, or T110E5 or something where everyone has one, and as a result may result in some less than ideal lineup shifts simply due to lower availability (like having to put your best medium player in a VK 90, simply because no one else has a VK 90 or something), and since it's a fairly niche tank, I don't think there's much pressure to actually get one for comp reasons
As for VK 90 being OP, well, honestly, I don't think I'll ever agree with that statement, even if the thing gets overbuffed, since I played it in test, and it had no super HP provisions, less armor, and that was before the heavy HP buff too, and it was absolutely horrific. And quite frankly, I'm not sure if I'll ever wash that taste out of my mouth, especially since I don't own one now.
On a more objective level, I don't really think it's OP, it's still severely limited by the rear mounted turret, and lack of turret armor. People compare it to the Maus and IS-4, but I really don't find that to be an apt comparison. I view it more like an FV-215b with less mobility, accuracy, and DPM, in exchange for better hull armor, a trade a find to be honestly, not great.
Thanks a lot! I never know how to word my opinions well... I hope this tells you enough about the comparison@kindred wren , thats how i think about it as well
I have compared them myself, and I have my own opinion. I don’t think that his statement was accurate
give me guidence please for i have recived the cheiftan mk 6
what equipment and how play, i watch pantoufs vid on it also
It’s a medium heavy hybrid, but I would rathe recommend to play it like a medium than a heavy, because the cupola is indeed very weak and very large. But if it comes to the worst you can still play it like a hulldown heavy
Not a medium
^^^ It's best as a second line hulldown HT, where you engage people at range, since your gun is snappy and more accurate, you have the advantage, while your cupola will be smaller and harder to hit
so i shouldnt try to get hulldown possition?
Play hulldown whenever possible, just don't expect to bounce too much
You very much should, but you shouldn’t try to face heavies frontally if you can avoid it, at least not on close distances
ah, i also see that he pen is large
how do i play jagdtiger i loved the line becous it was pretty mobile up intil it and i just get frustrated from playing it
@thin sable 2nd line DPM monster, punish overconfident enemies with 3.5k dpm
i least im on the top of the list in battles lol
Proves nothing
That’s the spirit XD
ik, but still
@lyric copper i'll try
If you manage to have all enemies in front of you and if you are hulldown the Jagdtiger is brutal
@thin sable most tier X meds have to load prammo in order to pen your cheeks at most angles
*all enemies, ur dead
P.S. You can also angle TDs to bounce shots
I go angle su130pm and bounce shots
Lol
Lol
It actually bounces shots
Lol
bounced a grille earlier today, but did have a broken gun+ .36 disp on the move
Somebody bounce on my scorpion g today with pramo
should i do better armor or more health for the cheiftan mk6
more HP
Health
You most likely want to use hp, enhanced gun laying drive, calibrated shells, vert stabs or dispersion doesn’t matter, the one that increase you engine power thing, the high end consumable thing is up to you as well
I would run rammer on the Chieftain, you need the DPM on that tank
Yeah but your pramo pen is poor
who cares
Just don’t shoot prammo, easy fix 😛
It's bad, but it's not that bad. 310 APCR will get the job done, and you won't need it that often
Again up to your preference
i live in belgium. i am not even able to buy keys or crates i can only get a key or crates if they drop from games
keys don’t drop from games
I love how there is now a debate about rammer or cs. This server used to be a bastion for CS only
i know but those boxes with keys do
But, like if you run calibrated, then E5 is better in basically every way, so you might as well run rammer and maintain one of Chieftains only advantages
@kindred wren I am the cornerstone of the rammer side
should i go with heavy or meds in the beginning of the games,
with cheiftan
so thats where my luck lies if i want chieftan
You’re not alone 😉
Nah run rammer all the way in Mk6 Mk6 has really good dpm out of the heavies including the brits and that is a powerful trait sacrificing it for a bit more pen is situational but not that encouraged
#rammergang
#dpm gang?
Most tanks cs is better but I suppose cheftain is good as well
#ddpppmmmmm
I don’t care if I pen, all I want is shoot, shoot, shoot!
Intresting
i counted like 6 veiw ports on the mk6,
You can influence enemy tanks by bouncing off them. I sometimes shoot the ground to bait people into shooting back
Like for instance say you have adrenaline fully learned and your knocked down to 20% health if you have CS on youlll only get 7.6 which is the base reload for a fully loaded Mk6 with rammer vs 6.9-7.0 with rammer on and that’s enough to severely punish anyone who’s left standing late game
Yes, you can play 4D chess in Blitz too 🤪
As said on most tanks you run cs but I suppose you could run rammer on cheftain
Rammer on everything, with very few exceptions
@kindred wren oh please I play 5D chess with the ATGM version of the Tennison gambit
Teach me, master
Hell if you wanted to you can run rammer on Sheridan and full heat now
Lol
I only run CS on tanks which need their HE pushed over a certain threshold of common side armour thickness
hast thou unlock’d thine 3rd eye yet?
“Ignores all t10 meds”
No, too pleb for that
HE on most tier ten meds is a waste of time and resources
Bro if you don’t run cs on t10 meds except Leo
bro please I need to show Leopard 1 players which is the better tank in my rammer T-62A
The shortest tank is the electric biscuit
rammer T-62A makes the Leopard 1 kinda irrelevant
Why would I run CS on my tier ten mediums? It’s not like I shoot anything other than weakspots anyways
Leopard 1 is irrelevant anyways
wouldn't running CS on the meds defeat the purpose of playing a med over a heavy 🤔
That reminds me: Supercharger over Gun Laying Drive!
not irrelevant, I’d say overshadowed @kindred wren
aaaaa i cant play the cheiftan, i am too bad
@kindred wren pls explain, I am a heathen 🙏
It’s very easy, velocities add up, so if you don’t use the supercharger you need to drive towards the enemy to increase your shell velocity, but because the gun laying drive only works when standing you may as well use the supercharger, increasing the velocity even further
I am slightly impressed with how retarded I managed to make that explanation
but what if I don't have a problem with velocity on 90% of my tanks
lol
It really depends on how much you actually shoot while driving
And how slow or fast your aimtime is to begin with. Supercharger is really only a choice when the shell velocity is frankly awful or when gun laying drive just gives no benefit
There is also the third case of pen drop but that requires a lot of research and is tank specific
so quick aim time and slow velo? that doesn't sound very common
the english omg
Well, it’s a logical or, not an and
I’d take sc on a 183
I use gun laying drive on that tank because the aim time is so slow
1478 is not bad still best ingame aside from the Russians (even though some of the IS tanks get this velocity why would you do this wg) 1900+ is a huge improvement
I'm pretty sure I only run SC on Type 62 and maybe Bromwell. I know we have talked about this before but I am still not convinced.
Did your autocorrect turn sc into cs?
Pen drop is a only a problem on pure APCR tanks from what I know or have been told from positive rounds that are indeed called APDS dont suffer from pen drop as bad as pure APCR
bruh i barely run CS, im a gold noob so i just dab the 2 key and spam it
@kindred wren yes, autocorrect... 👀
Correct. A prime example is the Scorpion G
damn, 5 games in the cheiftan, all loses, i need to learn how to play, but for that i need my team to carry for once
try not dying?
i try
Two tanks is already two more than I really expected 😉
Lol, I replied to the right person but the wrong message
lol I think you converted me on the Type. Might try it on a couple more, what would you recommend for starters?
If you want run full heat and C.S on type because the ammunition literally costs 2,400 credits
I actually use it on most of my tier ten mediums
I like DPM tho
121? seems kinda sluggish
No, not the 121, but things like the Leopard 1, FV 4202, M48 Patton, basically all tanks that can’t expose themselves for long enough to aim anyways
4202 interesting...
121 has tougher protection than say a 140 aswell
Actually, there might be an argument for the velocity of HESH of the 4202, let me check
I have no idea how to equip/play the 121 to be fair. I like the concept of a mobile med with big alpha and a decent turret, but the gun depression, aiming thing, and the fact that it is t10 just completely screws me over
please tell me why the flank on my team always looses?
Well, the supercharger makes the HESH go at around 1500 m/s, which is standard for APCR/ APDS on tier ten
fast
121? Not my favourite tank, but I go all out on aim time and gun stats in my equipment
Still find it ironic t62 gets an insanely accurate gun that makes leopards pale in comparisons
The biggest issue of the 121 is the one second you need to aim
It’s just a second but a second is sometimes too much in med brawls
it's annoying and I feel like even if you aim in the dispersion isn't really that good anyway
Yeah, that’s why I don’t like it that much
would much rather have a normal gun, like 113 has
I like its uniqueness, but at the same time I curse it
agreed. it's really fun until the aim time thing just screws you
Whenever I give advice on tanks I think of my performances in it and how I am actually not that good of a player
everyone starts a novice
So yeah, my advice is only worth as much as it’s actually effective, and looking at my stats it won’t make you a superunicum
I’m not a novice anymore, I’m actually getting worse 😛
well yea I am also terrible at tier 10 since I can't just farm people, so it's rather annoying
I went through three basic playstyles throughout my days;
When I started I focused kills and winning,
Later I focused on damage and consistency,
And now I am carving for teamplay and strategy
makes sense why your stats would get worse then 😜
😆
I think we should play one day
Sadly you are on NA and I am on the best server 😛
🙄 come to NA, don't be scared
@kindred wren whats ya ign man maybe we can toon sometimes
ooh pretty numbers
Note that the first letter is a zero
Is it Worse or Wor 53? Who knows 😉 🙃
07
why does that make more sense yet look terribly wrong
Read the clan-description if you can
Ooo u play your lesser armoured meds pretty well it seems
Im about to unlock the m48, who knows you can teach me a thing or two 😏
"If you are going downhill, at least you don’t have to push."
Epic. I am saving this.
XD
Ima send you a friend request, name's BrandoTheMan77
and now to stat shame lux
I’m not online so I might take some time to accept it
O.O
nvm love you lots, since I found someone with higher toon rate than me 😌
100%, as it should be
