[rigid thunder]

Still a strong tank

[spark basin]

how high is the repair cost on this tank

[deep ivy]

Everyone complains about IS-7 ammorack. But no one complains about T110E5 ammorack

Like I never been ammoracked in IS-7 and I have been ammoracked in T110E5

[rigid thunder]

compared to the other tier 9 HTs, it's actually pretty low. But I doubt the difference matters

[manic carbon]

Conqueror is eh. It has a nice gun but the mobility isn’t good enough to justify having such little armour

[river garden]

ngl I wonder why

[spark basin]

feels like im losing more credits on average

[river garden]

You arent playing it properly if you are losing credits

[solid gate]

Once ammorekt it easily

[real nacelle]

There is no turret on the turtle, frontal armor was nerfed from 254 to 152mm

[deep ivy]

Me to...

IS-7 is actually a very strong tank. It bullies mediums and it destroys heavies and tank destroyers

[manic carbon]

Higher tiers generally won’t be that profitable for your tech trees

[deep ivy]

Me who earned 100k credits in TVP in a single battle

[river garden]

The fact that the ammorack is on the left side makes it annoying if you are trying to play in it

[deep ivy]

As I said: the ammorack never bothers me. I never get recked in IS-7

[spark basin]

im still losing credits even when i do decently and a significant amount at that

[rigid thunder]

that's just how tier 9 works

[manic carbon]

E5 is a driveable ammo rack. You can easily hit the ammo rack through the lower part of the frontal hull, or go through the side of the hull, which is pretty easy since the side armour is so vulnerable.

People like to over exaggerate about IS-7 ammorack

[gentle wasp]

don't buy IS-7

[hard cedar]

don't buy e5

[hollow moth]

The commander turret. People use to call it as cupola too.

The frontal armor nerf have nothing to the shape of the vehicle.

[hollow moth]

Don't buy tier 10.

[hard cedar]

🤯

[real nacelle]

ah you mean the cupola.. yea not sure what you mean by shape and nerf of armor nobody knows why it has been nerfed. prolly just to get buffed later as it is too weak

[hollow moth]

Oh, no everyone can understand the reason of the buff. The Turtle, unlike Annihilator or tanks with the purpose of beign OP, passed through tests with skilled players and in feedback they choose that the tank should get a weakspot. The tank as it is for a reason, if a group of tank testers says that the vehicle is balanced with thise weakspots, who are we to say otherwise?

[real nacelle]

balanced for what? 😛 It was balanced before the nerfed.. How? bc it competes with AT15. Turtle has better armor but worse gun and AT15 has better armor and worse gun.. now Turtle has both the worst gun and worst armor.. yea nice balancing.. why do you think it's not for sale for cash? cuz they know how bad it is

[gentle wasp]

"it was balanced before the nerf"
wheeze

[real nacelle]

remember when turtle used to be good?

It's supposed to have 300mm effectively!!!! Lol

[frigid quest]

every tank in the game is bad, now stop crying

[real nacelle]

no actually every tank is good joke's on you

[gentle wasp]

if every tank is good why are you whining about how bad the turtle is

[hollow notch]

The turtle was taken from broken to useless. Rather that adjusting the stats, weegee straight up nuked them

[clever magnet]

you know what i think of when i see an indian panzer sometimes

[real nacelle]

indeed

[real nacelle]

i'm having a discussion, are you new here or something?

[hard cedar]

🐒

[gentle wasp]

I'm joining in on the discussion, are you not used to people calling out your horrid points?

[real nacelle]

you didn't call me out on any point.. you have nothing to call me on

[gentle wasp]

🤔

[real nacelle]

how dumb are you damn

[gentle wasp]

^

[hollow notch]

I love that thing so much. It applies to so many discussions

[real nacelle]

so true

i would consider getting turtle if they buff armor in the future to 250 or something

[hollow notch]

It best when they don't even realize where it is directed at.

[solid gate]

they have to nerf it sides for that to happen

[hollow moth]

Critical hit

[real nacelle]

at 127mm sides aren't that bad

[hollow moth]

Also, I'm here as a member of the T95 council to ask for a simple things.

• Respect your friend T95. If you're having a bad day, don't blame it on him/her, the flankers already do it on T95 for you.
• Don't let your friend T95 alone, it's a solitary tank and needy of a nearby comrade.
• If the T95 does low damage, be patient (as patient as the driver). Maybe it's because the battle already ended when the T95 reached a good spot.

[real nacelle]

how about a T95 Defender? with 30kph top speed and 2 shells autoloader? 😛

[hollow moth]

What are you talking about? Nothing happened

[hollow moth]

I played T95 for only 25 battles and even Lowe looks like a light tank for me.

[real nacelle]

yea T95 is great i love playing it but it's asituational tank, if team ditches you, it might not be your game.

[hollow moth]

indeed

[hollow notch]

The t95 is a nightmare when I'm in my is6. Otherwise I see it as free food

[hollow moth]

For the grace of idk who I don't make 0 damage on it, it's at least 450.

[real nacelle]

you don't have the derp gun on it yet?

Imagine: Maus Defender... with 3 shots autoloader.. spaced armor and speed of 30 kph 😛

[hollow moth]

Nope, I still on the half of the way for it

[real nacelle]

you'll love it, it's great

[solid gate]

Maus council are allies of T95 council
Both need patient like the driver

[bitter lichen]

Need yoh line... Now

[plain wagon]

I’ve been thinking about doing E50M is it any good?

[violet timber]

It’s fun, but really only if you want to ram

[solid gate]

Finally I have turtle and tortoise only thing missing is badger

[dark badger]

Yo where are the weak points of this tank?

I keep getting damage blocked and I am wondering where are this tanks weak spot for them the enemy not hit them

[hollow moth]

Well, the armor ins't that good if the enemy knows how to aim, I'll get a print for you.

[plucky summit]

The turret cheeks are just terrifically plastic

[dark badger]

Ah

But I keep seeing hits go there and it was damage blocked

[plucky summit]

The cupola is also a weaker place to shoot, and a more consistent rectangle to hit

[hollow moth]

There are the 4 main weakspots and their armor. @dark badger

[dark badger]

Interesting but also what shells should I use? HE or AP shells

[plucky summit]

But if you have only 80mm of penetration the turret and cupola is the place to shoot

AP shells all the way

[hollow moth]

You should use AP most of the time, at tier 7 or 8 you'll learn when to use HE with time. @dark badger

[dark badger]

I had been using HE shells was there some drawbacks for using them

[hollow moth]

Yes, they cause poor damage if they don't penetrate.

[plucky summit]

You very often fail to penetrate tanks head on with HE shells, leading to less damage than just loading AP, and even with weakspots, RNG can say no and throw it into tracks or spaced armor

[dark badger]

Alright

So how about when fighting higher tier tanks what should I do

[hollow moth]

Do you play in EU? If yes, then I can train you to have some basic learning.

[plucky summit]

If they're too armored and you have to shoot, use premium ammunition, often APCR or HEAT

Or don't engage unless you have backup, or they're on very low HP

[dark badger]

I play in the United States

[plucky summit]

Ayyy thas me

[hollow moth]

@plucky summit could you make the honor of be the gentleman's personal trainer?

[plucky summit]

I very well could

[dark badger]

Could I hit there tracks to immobilize them for another teammate to finish them off?

[hollow moth]

That's also a very good idea.

[plucky summit]

Yes, if another teammate is ready to, but it's often not the case

[dark badger]

Alright thanks for the help, I have no more questions at the moment

[plucky summit]

👍

[solid gate]

buff turtle mk.i how did the tank even get into the game when its this bad

[hollow moth]

It has passed through tests from "game/tank testers" and they choose that Turtle should've been like this. Then I wonder who's the problem, the one that can't adapt or the other one that tested the tank and prefer it as it is now.

[midnight leaf]

i guess its supposed to have crazy dpm but they forgot about it

[solid gate]

I realize IS 2 1945 basically from IS 2M

no wonder the armor very troll rather than IS

[wise moth]

Turtle was super broken in test, so WG obliterated it with the nerf bat

[hollow moth]

Better to have an under-average premium than having a broken premium that can't be nerfed. That's a certain truth.

[solid gate]

i got 3.9k dmg in the thing in the first day it was out then pros did better like littlefinger

they need to buff the armour or make it faster because if your team is crap then you cant carry at all even in 1v1s with t7s the t7 can kill you

i am only asking to buff it so its at least an avg t8

[dark badger]

Also I noticed that there is not much tank customization

[solid gate]

that would be nice to

[terse sequoia]

I’m not sure if this is 100% right, but the reason there isn’t is because the engine of the game can only handle so much. If we had customization like a game such as war thunder I would imagine the game would need an entirely new engine. But as time progressed wg has done better with that.

[dark badger]

Understandable

[hollow moth]

I don't want to do stat shaming and if you feel offended I will delete this post without second thoughts, but I Don't (forgot about this word, sorry) think that, according to your number of battles in Turtle, you already know all the pros, cons and how to deal with them. You played it only 17 times.

But it looks that you do decently on it, 1600 of average damage and you even mastered it already.

[solid gate]

yeah the tank is not that bad if you are looking for just cred making and stuff but horrible on dmg and wr

most of the time its 30k creds with 1.5k dmg or something with perm acc

[hollow moth]

Once again, I don't want to do stat shaming, but I don't think that 35% wr is a problem of the tank. I can assume that you just passed through a bad wave of unluck with teams.

[solid gate]

and if you just stay with hts then you have a chance to get some dmg and kills with that dpm and not get flanked

its wr is slow because i cant carry or really push without taking loads of dmg

but if iplay more battles in it i think i can find a way of getting some good dmg

[hollow moth]

I believe that you'd be more certain of this with some more battles. I think that 17 battles is too short for judge damage or WR.

[solid gate]

yes

[hollow moth]

Don't worry, 1,6k of DPB is good in tier 8, I kinda like this number on this tier.

[solid gate]

thx dpm lol

[terse sequoia]

According to one dude : if you don’t do 2k at least your not good in tier 8.

[solid gate]

depends on what t8

[hollow moth]

I like a lot the free speech right, but I simply ignore tryhard's opinion.

[solid gate]

like isu yeah 2k is good and not hard to get but tanks like t26e4 its way harder to get 2k dmg

[hollow moth]

Indeed.

[terse sequoia]

Yep, but people are annoying. Try getting 2k avg. in tanks like a super Pershing

[solid gate]

nah to much work

[terse sequoia]

I’m not the best but I think I’m in the middle

[hollow moth]

On the last 90 days, my average damage in tier 8 is 1,75k. I try to do at least 1600 but it's really hard to do this on a stupid vehicle like T28.

[solid gate]

yeah

[terse sequoia]

Yeah same for me in my lekpz I try to get a 1.7k avg. for 30 day stats.

I have a Unicum WN8 in it.

Almost on top 10 😄

[hollow moth]

We also have to consider bad battles when nothing goes as we expect. For example, when you're an M6 EXP casually going to frontline, but there's a TD twin awaiting you there. That's kinda specific for a reason.

[terse sequoia]

I get where you are coming from. I can’t seem to do well in German tier 10 heavy tanks but I do fine in everything else

[solid gate]

so i got 1.8k dpb in chrysler k in 30 days 31 battles and i am 8th

if i was getting 2k i would be getting top5 ez

[terse sequoia]

Ah, my fav tier 8 is the T34 for me American heavies are so versatile

[hollow moth]

Well, I've got to go, I'll try to clean the mess that I did with M6 EXP earlier

[terse sequoia]

That’s a yikes, but good luck!

[solid gate]

yeah i like t34 i found some good spots to hide my hull on some maps

[plucky summit]

I got 2.1k average all time in my T-2020, not top 5 ;-;

[terse sequoia]

My fav tier 7, puts anni’s and smashers to shame hill down on ridges👍

[solid gate]

i like BP for t7

[terse sequoia]

I can see bp, but the speed and pen is what drives me away from it.

[solid gate]

i dont play it much tho same reason as u

[terse sequoia]

For me T29 is the best all rounder.

[magic radish]

t49 actually makes me want to quit this game lmao

[solid gate]

the aim lol

[terse sequoia]

Are you running the 90mm?

[hollow notch]

T49 makes me stick with the game.

[magic radish]

No, I probably should

[plucky summit]

Don't run the 90mm, there's no point if you do, play another 90mm tank instead

[terse sequoia]

For better results and competitive-ness then yes, I do suggest running the 90

[hollow notch]

No
Learn to use the 152

[terse sequoia]

I mean overall the 90 is better

[hollow notch]

152 is devastating when you actually have a clue of what you are doing.

[terse sequoia]

People are not always the best player you know...

[hollow notch]

The 90mm just makes it another bad 90mm tank

[magic radish]

I have 3.9k wn8, 152 sucks, aiming sucks, dispersion sucks

[terse sequoia]

90 mil is a bad gun at tier 8? No sir, for a light it is fantastic. Look at black dog!

[magic radish]

credit coefficient sucks

[terse sequoia]

Idk dude, your preference don’t let people tell you what you should run. Use what you are comfortable with.👍

[plucky summit]

The tank that's simply better with the 90? Yeah.

[hollow notch]

more alpha
HEP

Aight, done

[terse sequoia]

Hep is the real reason people buy the black dog besides collecting.

[hollow notch]

Don't mind the ru and blackdog having beastly HE.

[valid gale]

90mm on a t49 is awful lol you have worse dpm than your peers worse gold pen and no HE to fall back on

[thorny smelt]

You can also say this to AMX M4 mle. 45 tank. Its only redeeming quality is its high penetration gun

[plucky rain]

Which is the same gun as the ARL 44

[sour lava]

VK 36.01 H Good Armor Good Gun?

[nocturne sage]

Yea it’s good for it’s tier and the 88mm is decent

It gets the job done

[sour lava]

How to Plays IS-3 Tank?

[hollow moth]

Vk 36.01H competes with ARL 44 to be the best tier 6 heavy. It's indeed very good, it have a variation of cannons, very good armor and actually the best top speed among heavies. It allows you can use the 8,8cm cannon which have a good DPM, trustworthy alpha and a fair HE penetration, or the 7,5cm cannon, it have a lower alpha and lower DPM than the 8,8cm one, but is more precise, shots faster and penetrate slightly better.

[hollow moth]

Basically, just do hull down and act like a heavium.

[thorny smelt]

At stock yes. The lastest gun of AMX has a higher alpha damage and better penetration

[thorny smelt]

They're tier 6 bud

[nocturne sage]

Go and follow meds, hulldown if u can, find cover that’s blockers ur lower and ur pike nose. Your armor does NOT hold up against same tier heavies as they will just punch throw it. Ur armor is great against meds of Lower tier and decent against same tier meds. Ur a bully to meds. U have great speed and decent traverse. Ur a brawler, don’t try to snipe from far distance. Snipe from medium distance. Side scraping isn’t such a great a idea most of the time. An remember to follow meds as u can catch up to them. Ur a heavium

[fast compass]

Just try and hulldown

[hollow moth]

Clicked the wrong key on the keyboard.

[acoustic ginkgo]

i git gud with t62a lmao

[thorny smelt]

It's alright

[novel linden]

how do I play as Conway

[hollow moth]

Fixed it before midnight

Got even better after midnight.

[bitter lichen]

You hulldown with your hull exposed?

[hollow moth]

I don't think so, but I don't think that other server's fights are nice here.

[bitter lichen]

It's not really a fight it's so tame it's more of a discussion still though I don't think it's worth it to discuss with someone that doesn't know what they're talking

[sour lava]

How to plays T-34-85 Soviet Medium Tank

[bitter lichen]

Play in pack, play like second defense for your other meds. Peekaboom preferred.

[sharp totem]

finnaly getting the hang of kv-4

look at this clown

[plucky summit]

This mans did not just used stock turret

[sharp totem]

thats just a pic from the web

[hollow moth]

Prepare for suffering, KV-4 is kinda of a meme because it pretends to be a fortress but have too many weakspots.

[sharp totem]

yeah and anyone with premium ammo can pen your gun face on

[plucky summit]

At least it's a decent sidescraper

[sharp totem]

yeah, if you really need to hold down a spot you can sidescrape backwards with like 0 risk

unless they rush you then 🤷‍♂️

[plucky summit]

I mean if anyone rushes any tank, what can you do?

[plucky summit]

@manic carbon sorry for the very late response, here 😅

[nocturne sage]

It’s turret is decent against meds until the load prammo. Make sure to wiggle ur tank when hull down

[sharp bane]

Hehe vindactor go boom boo.

[spark basin]

conqueror gun is pretty nice but it doesn't justify its lack of armour

[surreal blade]

I love demolishing conquerors in my st1

[molten widget]

KV 2 should get nerfed even more

[bitter lichen]

Yesnt?

[molten widget]

it should be nerfed, the pen is still high enough to pen stuff and instant kill em

KV 1S should also be nerfed, its dmg is too high

i mean, i can't do shit in a battle cuz i get 1 shotted by an nonspotted KV 1S one shotting me

[thorny smelt]

KV-2 is meant to be like that because it is a historically a bunker buster and it can destroy concrete walls. Smasher and Annihilator are the ones should be nerfed because they are overpowered for tier 7 tanks

[molten widget]

than they should make it higher tier

[violet timber]

KV-1S has no one shotting potential, and if you get shot by an unspotted heavy tank, that is all your fault

[molten widget]

cuz i just got one shotted in the first 25 seconds of the game so i did 0 dmg -_-

lmao nice

[thorny smelt]

Nah. It's alright being tier 6 along with KV-1S. An ARL44 and M6 along with Jg Pz IV can easily beat KV-2. Once you get to IS and KV-3, you'll feel strong against KV-2

[sour lava]

KV-2 152mm Gun Try Hit He Shell penetration?

[solid gate]

Which is better , T-34 , Emil 1951 or obj 252-U

Anyone?

[rough pier]

Anyone know if I should buy the su100y

[acoustic ginkgo]

obj252u

[manic carbon]

Epic

@rough pier Yes, the offer in the shop for it is a good one

[solid gate]

HOW IS IS-4 HEAT SPAM NOT A VIABLE STRAT WG PLS BUFF ARMOR TO 500MM!1!!!!11

(just a joke to get yall to teach me how to play it (correctly))

[onyx sluice]

The STRVs are fun but I really liked Leo with its alpha damage.

[fierce hill]

what should i do next with KV 1S? get IS or KV 3?

[solid gate]

recommended IS

[midnight leaf]

you can expose a little bit if you have a good upper plate
but the terminology would be a little different

[solid gate]

Attempt E-79 as tier 10 collector medium tank

or SU-122s as tier 7 premium tank

[thorny smelt]

KV-1S's derp gun is so GOOD

[candid lark]

I agree

Problem is accuracy but as long as stalin is with you

Its ok u dont need to aim that much anymore as long as it is medium or close range

[thorny smelt]

I got good accuracy as long as I'm staying still and protected while aiming at the enemy

[candid lark]

Also i oofed a hellcat with HE and fire

Did 600 dmg and e25 took him out

Also the HE only did 458 dmg upon exploding which is weird, i expect it to be like 500 or 600+

But we all know that never happens in life so we just live with it

[thorny smelt]

I got some good shots with my last battle and I took out 3 tanks

[midnight leaf]

its not that derpy but it sure is good

[thorny smelt]

The latest gun is too weak for its tier

[fast compass]

122mm is the only gun on kv1s as far as I am concerned

[frigid quest]

KV-1S does have a 85mm but this gun is absolutely pointless when vk36 and arl exists

[thorny smelt]

The 85 mm gun really sucked TBH. It is too weak to pen than ARL44's 90 mm DCA 45

[deep ivy]

@frigid quest ARL 44 with 100mm😎

[bitter lichen]

Still the cheeks would be exposed he was talking how tough the E30m's cheeks are not it's upper plate. Well honestly they're not. TDs can pen it easily. Even the M103 can pen it with standard shell. What more to say for the FV183 and the Jageroo. And this dude is talking about how it's much tougher than the turrets of the STB1 and T62A. Eventhough the latter tanks have smaller weak point on their cheeks. Then he said that wiggling helps it get "tougher". That doesn't make it tougher it just makes it harder to aim at your weak spot. I can do that with any tanks too.

[deep ivy]

@bitter lichen in a contest of "what medium has the thoughest turret" the T-22 Medium beats all competition flat out, with T-62A second and STB-1 third. The E 50 M is more a tank whose armor works... if the enemy player rushes his shots

[hard cedar]

doesnt stb have a better turret bc its more angled

[hollow notch]

Swap the order of stb and 62a and I would agree

[mental violet]

62a is paper to gold anyway

[fleet oriole]

What place is 121?

[bitter lichen]

Well he seriously don't know what he was saying. He said that when he goes hulldown with the E30M, the turret will get tougher (magically). He's saying something like that, pretty sure

[hollow notch]

Against ap, the e50 turret is solid

[deep ivy]

I think he confuses turret with hull

@hollow notch dude. If you load prammo of course you can penn more

[solid gate]

E50m is my favorite tank. Yet I still struggle with it

[hollow notch]

Really?

[bitter lichen]

Oh really? But that ain't really hulldown though... Whatever, that dude doesn't know how to word his points anyway

[deep ivy]

The idea of prammo is that if you load it you got a higher chance of penning your target. This is getting stupid

[hollow notch]

Never knew.

I definitely wasn't just showing how the e50m turret shows up to those that don't have armor inspector.

[hard cedar]

Your pfp is becoming more relevant as time goes on

[deep ivy]

🙄

[hollow notch]

🧠

[solid gate]

I have a really rough brain.
Yes I’m complimenting myself

[deep ivy]

We need to get this guy some brains

[fleet oriole]

Ewww, ur rough?

[hollow notch]

Please do

Apparently I need them.

[deep ivy]

What type do you want?
Urang utang?
Ring tailed lemur?

[hollow notch]

Anything as long as its free

[graceful tree]

How do I get the UE 57?

[solid gate]

You don’t

You can't

If you sold it then you can get VRT and get it back again for a small amount of gold

Yep 5.5 update

[graceful tree]

God dammit wht did they remove it

[solid gate]

Because wg wants more fantasy tanks

[deep ivy]

If only I could get Churchill GC and KV-13...

[hollow notch]

Your a year or 3 late

[solid gate]

😂

[deep ivy]

I think its the only pre 5.5 tanks I'm still missing

[graceful tree]

Like the vindicator? Hate that tank

[solid gate]

Yup. Smasher, annihilater.

[violet timber]

No, they did the 5.5 update to "make the grind easier" for new players

[deep ivy]

@graceful tree vindicator ain't a fantasy tank in that deffinition. Its imported from another game called Warhammer 40.000

[graceful tree]

That still makes it a fantasy tank lol

[hollow notch]

._. You calling it a real tank?

Here have this: 🧠

[deep ivy]

@violet timber yeah. But what they were meant to say was "to earn money from battlepasses

[violet timber]

Wait the vindicator is real? Where can I find it

[graceful tree]

@violet timber in CDs

[solid gate]

It’s not real

[hollow notch]

I have a vindicator without the gun just down the road...

[solid gate]

Is it just me or they nerfed the kv2 when the smasher came out or when it goes to be sold

The kv2 was always bad

[river garden]

Hey guys whats a good tech tree tank i should research?

[deep ivy]

You didn't read it well. I said: in the deffinition that its imported from another game. So Wargaming nevet designed it...

But I believe someone is in fact building a Vindicator

[solid gate]

Stb 1 bickers light, t62a

[deep ivy]

They nerfed KV-2 two months before Smasher release in fact

[river garden]

i should have said tier 8

[solid gate]

Oh

[deep ivy]

@river garden tier 8 there is but one true master: VK 100.01 (P)

[solid gate]

Panther II is an classic, and p44 pantera is an damage farmer

[river garden]

I have enough credits for T-30 since i have T-28 prot but the armor sucks

[deep ivy]

Tiger II is a beast

[solid gate]

Tough break

[hollow notch]

T30 is 100% about the gun

[deep ivy]

T-54 Ltwt. is amazing light to. Armor of a medium and nice gun

[solid gate]

Everyone says the pogeto 46 is op but the Pantera is almost like to like

[deep ivy]

@solid gate yes, only when you try to HE the side of Progetto 46 you never penn because of spaced armor but when you HE the side of a Pantera you almost auto penn

[hollow notch]

Pantera is the upper end of the balanced spectrum.

Prog is a pantera with superior firepower.

The prog gun is disgusting to use

[solid gate]

Yes also as I've got the pogeto 46 and I rlly like how it works should I go for the pogeto 64

[river garden]

pog

[deep ivy]

64 is a great tank but the turret armor makes you go through hell

[hollow notch]

I highly recommend the prog65

[deep ivy]

I prefer the Kranvagn over Prog 65 though

[river garden]

wait is the VK 45.01 B the only rear turreted tech tree tank?

[deep ivy]

@river garden VK 72.01 (K), FV215B, FV215b 183

[river garden]

oh i forgot about those

[hollow notch]

Maus, wtpz4, 130pm

[deep ivy]

@hollow notch 130 PM ain't rear turreted or tech tree

[hollow notch]

Oof, not tech tree, but its definitely a rear turret

[deep ivy]

Mauschen also fits in the list though. And Grille though you can't really call it a turret

[river garden]

no its not rear means ALL the way back

[violet timber]

130Pm is definitely rear turreted

[hollow notch]

._.

It's not a center mounted turret.
It's not a front mounted turret.

That leaves 1 option

[river garden]

but its not rear mounted

[violet timber]

How is it not rear mounted?

[deep ivy]

@river garden and if you take rear mounted casemates to: japanese tech tree tier 8 to 10, Jageroo, Jpanther II, Ferdinand...

[hollow notch]

Ah, also t92

[river garden]

Its mid mounted after lookign at pictures

[deep ivy]

Because its slightly towards the center of the tank. Almost like Rheinmetal Borsig Waffenträger

[hollow notch]

Speck, french lights as well

[deep ivy]

Thats the 130 PMs turret mount

[river garden]

Man you guys are flexing with your tanks and im sad about it

[deep ivy]

Nah. If I had been flexing I would have sendscreenshots of all my tanks

[river garden]

Ik what all tanks look like so

[deep ivy]

Though mods would mute me for spam 3 seconds later🤣

[river garden]

3 seconds later: not muted

[hollow notch]

Hmmm

Guess I just thought that because basically nothing is left after it turns the turret

[violet timber]

Not tech tree, but the Chrysler K and IS-2H are also rear turreted. Also Lupus and Gravedigger

[river garden]

So can someone clarify the gun caliber on the STG cuz Im confused between 100mm or 122mm

[violet timber]

it's 122mm

[river garden]

ok

[mellow marten]

I currently know of 5 bulldog variants in the game m41 bulldog, the t49, the Lelpz M 41 90, M41D, and Type 64. My question is are there any more variants in the game and or coming?

[deep ivy]

@mellow marten why do you want even more?

[mellow marten]

Because I find them somewhat cute and kinda nice looking

[plucky summit]

Ah, not really Type 64

[mellow marten]

Well the type 64 from what I read was built off of the bulldog

[plucky summit]

Meh, not bulldog enough

[mellow marten]

How?

[deep ivy]

@mellow marten just that it doesn't look like a Bulldog from any side...

[mellow marten]

I fail to understand how that disqualifies it from being a bulldog

[river garden]

the tiers do

[violet timber]

So the Type 64 originally was a hybrid of the M42 Duster (An anti-aircraft platform based on the M41) hull with an M18 turret. The Type 64 Prototype was a locally upgraded M41 bulldog

[high anvil]

I want my next tier 10 to be a damage farming heavy. Hesitating between the 50B or 113. Thoughts?

[solid gate]

50b

[fleet oriole]

I’d go for 57 heavy instead if u don’t already have it

[solid fractal]

50B

[valid gale]

The type 64 is built off an m42 duster a derivative chassis of the bulldog but not the same chassis

[plucky rain]

How to play STG?

[midnight leaf]

use your exceptionally high alpha for a medium and ambush people i guess

[eager lantern]

I am creating a tournament team for tier 6 for people with Discord if you want in please message me hurry

[clear bobcat]

Why use boosters for premium... not even credit boosters

[low rampart]

Boosters don't affect premiums? Why keep me blindfolded all this time?

[hard cedar]

they do work but all boosters except gold, fxp, and credit boosters are useless

[low rampart]

If a premium tank has 160% coefficient, does it increase with the booster even more?

[hard cedar]

idk how boosters work with coeff tbh

[midnight leaf]

boosters give a fixed amount like 10k - 50k

[hard cedar]

Is it affected by ratings credit multiplier

[clear bobcat]

Credit boosters give 10k-50k I think based on performance, gold boosters give gold based on tier, the rest based on performane

[plucky summit]

I think based on tier, but okay

[shell willow]

Which one should i go for?

[plucky summit]

M7

[shell willow]

Oh damage doesn't matter right?

[plucky summit]

It does

[shell willow]

I was thinking of going M8 cause of the damage but why m7?

[plucky summit]

T1 Heavy OP

[violet timber]

M7 leads to more of the tech tree

[shell willow]

Oh i see

[clear bobcat]

Ayo btw don’t use equipments as often at higher tiers only if you have plenty of credits then yes, and just because the tutorial tells you so, u don’t always need them

[shell willow]

Oh

ok thanks for the advice

[kindred thorn]

Gold boosters at t6 🤮

Does anyone have info about the Excalibur tank destroyer?
Would it be available in the future?

I know the damage I dealt is low because we have 2 ISU-152s on our side. Man! This tank is good!

[solid gate]

How To Buy KV-5 Tank?

[shell willow]

Should i go for sherman?

[thorny smelt]

[thorny smelt]

If you want good armor and decent damage, go for T1 Heavy. Otherwise like speed, go for M4A1 Sherman

[solid gate]

US meds are bruh, with the exception of Sherman

[thorny smelt]

T1 Heavy is good at ramming against other tier 5 tanks and below. You'll get a huge chunk of enemy HP from AMX ELC bis and Leopard

[stray quarry]

I dont know which one i should get. Anyway someone could help me?

[manic carbon]

RU will be the popular pick. It honestly is a great tank and in my opinion, more enjoyable than the Indien

[solemn sun]

Get the RU

[solemn sun]

What is your ammo loadout 👀
It's very... empty

[warped valley]

can yall plz tell me why some tier 10s do such a low dmg and isn't tier 10 supposed to be the strongest tanks in game if so why could some easily be killed by tier 9s 🤨

[forest ermine]

The damage a gun does has everything to do with tank type and calibre

Also, we don't work for wargaming

But it's really just common sense in this case

[warped valley]

... okie

[plucky rain]

No need to ping moderators for that

[warped valley]

My bad

[forest ermine]

By your logic, tier I tanks should not be able to kill tier II tanks either 😅

It's all about balance. Everything goes up in stats and all as you climb the tiers, but every tank has weaknesses, and has to deal with and be dealt with with two (in case of tier X and tier I) or three (every other tier) tiers

[warped valley]

M hm

[hard cedar]

The tier 10s with low damage often have the highest dpm
Like obj 140 and t62a (3.6k dpm with rammer) and Leo 1 (3.6k with rammer)

[warped valley]

Mhm true

But why is 121b the highest ranked??

[hard cedar]

Wdym highest ranked

[warped valley]

Like in tier 10 games its always on top on ranked on your team idk if u get wat i mean

[hard cedar]

I think it's ordered alphabetically so numbers go first

[warped valley]

I thought same thing before but that doesn't seem to be the case

Wat r u talking about

[hard cedar]

I'm pretty sure you can drift you just need a fast tank

[warped valley]

Its a tank game not a car game even tho RU and leo Amx CDC Premium M41 do like cars

[solid gate]

Average speed over 40 does the job...

[hard cedar]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[warped valley]

Smh

Does Wg talk?

[solid gate]

smh, use hellcat if you feel like f&f

[warped valley]

U ain't do it right then

Then wats the problem

[solid gate]

High rotation...

[warped valley]

I could see it too rotation

[solid gate]

You can't have high rotation like t54e1 or centurion if you wanna drift, you'll go straight 180 degrees in no time

thats why lmfao, take tonk with bad rotation and high speed

[warped valley]

Lmao

[solid gate]

like i said, hellcat

*sighs * maybe you dunno how drift works here

well your grammar tells a lot, but sure

[spare solar]

Just got this tank feels a little bit faster

[solid gate]

I thought it was an event tank...

[grand linden]

It is

[spare solar]

It came from the 3 crate deal

[solid gate]

Press F for those who spent millions of creds to get this... and failed

[spare solar]

1500 gold its also how i got the smasher

I got it in 2days I don't know what you mean lmao

Don't worry I missed the m6 exp event a few years back

[grand linden]

No it's a tier 8 prem it's okay

[spare solar]

I only have a little over a thousand gold which im not gonna use

[grand linden]

Me waiting to use the 6.75k gold I saved up from gold ads and a little bit of help

[spare solar]

I buy them

[grand linden]

I'm actually considering the kv5 if nothing good comes by the end of the week I'm buying

[spare solar]

I could do that but im annoying enough with the smasher

I dont even know where ammo stacks are but when i accidentally kill someone with 1 shot i feel great unless its a light tank its like overkill

[thorny smelt]

VK 30.01 P has its ammo rack probably at the sides. That's why I get ammo racked twice already.

[spare solar]

Thx

[thorny smelt]

You can go to tanks comparison tab of Blitzstars and compare between T-2020 and KV-5

[grand linden]

Well I don't particularly care for the 2020

[thorny smelt]

So...you'll go for the KV-5 then?

[grand linden]

Idk probably if nothing comes in shop

[thorny smelt]

I got KV-5 because it was on 70% sale and the price itself makes me drool. It is quite good when you can handle some super heavy tanks.

[fleet oriole]

Hmmm... I don’t think it’s worth the price

[gentle wasp]

the price is decent but not when you consider the vastly superior tanks that have been sold in a similar bundle in the past

[fleet oriole]

Like the vk 168 🙂

[hard cedar]

Even worse

[fleet oriole]

Lies

[lyric oriole]

Kv 5 is better than 168

[hard cedar]

Both are 🥴 though

[fleet oriole]

Yh

[lyric oriole]

KV 5 is good

[hard cedar]

It has so many weakspots

[lyric oriole]

Take it to the medium side and as long as there are no other heavies you push through and steam roll

As for the "Weakspots" they are pretty well armored

[fleet oriole]

Just like the vk 168 😄

[lyric oriole]

168 is All flat

Kv-5 has trap Weakspots that are rounded

Like the R2D2s

[fleet oriole]

You should really try vk 168 on med route. Getting circled is fun

[lyric oriole]

I didn't ever say anything about 168 on the med route

[hard cedar]

I mean everyone plays med side anyway

[lyric oriole]

Not in tier 8

[fleet oriole]

Maybe middleburg or whatever it’s called with the big hill on the right

[hollow notch]

The vk100 has a great gun.
The kv5...
tier 7 excluded

[tardy arrow]

Kv5 is bad

[hard cedar]

Most t8 games I've been in have been on med side 🤷‍♂️

[lyric oriole]

You run the DPM gun on KV-5

Not the pen gun

[tardy arrow]

The only saving factor of it is that it has like 2k hp

[hollow notch]

Ok, and?

That doesn't doesn't change the alpha slamming capability of the vk(s)

[fleet oriole]

When will uprising be coming?

[hard cedar]

Do you also run the dpm gun on the is6

[surreal blade]

Why would u not want 219 mm of pen compared to only about 175mm of pen I guess? I forgot

[hard cedar]

Higher dpm

[tardy arrow]

Yea kv5 is literally a worse kv4 and kv4 is bad enough

[surreal blade]

Yep

[lyric oriole]

Kv-5 goes 40 KPH, has ramming capabilities and is intended to steamroll, you shouldn't be sitting back and sitting still

[fleet oriole]

I agree

[lyric oriole]

That's how you lose in KV-5

[tardy arrow]

Yea and it’s so big that if you try to steamroll you’ll just get crossfired so the only way to actually play it is to sit still

[hollow notch]

I love the kv5 a lot more than most people, but I won't mislead them into thinking it's a good tank. Its bad. Anything the kv5 can do, basically any tier 8 heavy can do better.

[lyric oriole]

Kv-5 has a very specific but unique playstyle

I'll never recommend it over most tanks

But it's far from bad

[trim wyvern]

The Kv-5 in soo noob friendly

[hollow notch]

._.
No pen, meh armor, not great mobility, not outstanding dpm, meh alpha.

[tardy arrow]

And huge

[hollow notch]

An is6 outclasses it in everything but ramming capability.

[tardy arrow]

It’s not friendly to anyone because it’s so trash

[trim wyvern]

Really

[lyric oriole]

It's been pretty good for me the past couple days

[hollow notch]

And a ram actually making a difference is extremely rare

[trim wyvern]

Do you know what tank takes the most skill to play ??

[tardy arrow]

What tier

[trim wyvern]

At tier 10

[hollow notch]

I'm fairly certain its because people dismiss the kv5 as not a threat, allowing you to farm them.

At least that is the conclusion that I have come to after my success in it.

[gentle wasp]

by that logic I'll play my stock pershing in a failtoon because is4s are easy farms when they don't see you as a threat

[lyric oriole]

Probably Leopard 1

[trim wyvern]

The tank that takes the most skill is the FV215B

[hollow notch]

I mean... I have completely ignored stock tier 9s in my maus before

[tardy arrow]

215b and leopard 1 are easy, probably 183 takes most skill

[trim wyvern]

I get 5000k damage per day in the fv215b

but i see what you meen about the 183

[tardy arrow]

Ye, hardest to do consistently in

[gentle wasp]

5000k
big brain time

[trim wyvern]

lol

[fleet oriole]

Nah, Is4

[lyric oriole]

This man is playing 100 man Uprising

[hollow notch]

]@gentle wasp lol

[lyric oriole]

Also Leopard 1 is not an easy tank to play, it's a thinly armored medium in a heavy meta

[gentle wasp]

ez pen ez farm

[fleet oriole]

Needs armour buff

[trim wyvern]

that is broken

[lyric oriole]

Tet is banking on Fires

He's doing strats we can't even perceive

[gentle wasp]

I banked it off the ammo rack while I'm at it. It's easy if you just aim.

[tardy arrow]

It has the speed tho so it doesn’t matter if it has armor or not

[hard cedar]

It does

[trim wyvern]

what is your most favourite tank everyone?

[lyric oriole]

It has mediocre camo so Leopard 1 really isn't easy

And it doesn't even have the best overall view range

It's a one trick DPM pony

[hollow notch]

@gentle wasp you down for a failtoon?

[trim wyvern]

BRUH

[hard cedar]

Seems like fun

[fleet oriole]

F

[tardy arrow]

I’d think that the speed can just get you out of situations where you’d need to rely on armor if u had any

[fleet oriole]

E5 moment

[spare solar]

I use the vk168 im good until IX tanks show up or something that kill fast like tank destroyers etc

[hollow moth]

Vk168 is cringe, lol

[spare solar]

I like harassing people that never faced it xd

[lyric oriole]

Where can you go, the maps are small

[trim wyvern]

OH i all most forgot to ask what should i get the FV215b 183 or the jg panzer e100 or the object 268

[lyric oriole]

And Leopard 1 isn't a small tank

[gentle wasp]

268

[spare solar]

Its the experience people i fear when i pull out my 168

[hollow notch]

It's not a large tank either

[hard cedar]

It still has a pretty tall profile

[tardy arrow]

If your on med side and outnumbered go help heavies

And sometimes if it’s med outnumbered by matchmaking I just go help heavies off spawn

[trim wyvern]

Why?

[gentle wasp]

russian bias

[tardy arrow]

And if your whole team goes one side you can just go flank if their enemy team is on the same side or stay if u have numbers

[lyric oriole]

How will you help the heavies in a lightly armored medium? Heavies will be setup in trade positions

[trim wyvern]

SO TRUE

[tardy arrow]

Theres positions to crossfire on all maps

[lyric oriole]

With what camo rating

And your 350 alpha

And APCR

Have you ever even played Leopard 1

[hollow notch]

What's wrong with finding a crossfire spot?

Only map it doesn't work on is himmelsdorf

[trim wyvern]

Castilla is the best

[hard cedar]

It's not that easy to find a crossfire spot where your opponents don't have an angle to shoot you

[tardy arrow]

None of those have been issue to me tbh, you just have to be careful of what you poke on and keep in mind what hasn’t been spotted like tds

And yes, I have 400 battles in it in the last 30 days

[lyric oriole]

Also for the size you can see it has a pretty awful profile

[bitter lichen]

I always thought that tier X is medium meta. Cus I play tanks like T62a, Stb1, amx 30 b and Leo 1. And they're a lot of fun

[tardy arrow]

Bruh Castilla is one of the worst for leo, it’s usually just a td camp game on both sides

[lyric oriole]

It's heavy meta

[hollow notch]

Any heavy will clap any med

[hard cedar]

Fun ≠ meta

[tardy arrow]

It’s not like a 4005 where size actually matters, leo is big sure but it’s still small too hide behind almost all rocks etc

[wise moth]

It's very much heavy meta because heavies like 113 and 50 b can pretty much do whatever a medium can, but also clap mediums in 1v1s

[bitter lichen]

Idk I find ht gameplay in tier X is pretty boring I do better in meds

[gentle wasp]

why have fun and think strategically when you can mash W for 4 minutes and get better results

[lyric oriole]

Personal preference doesn't set a meta

It's about performance

[tardy arrow]

Heavies are more team dependent imo so I don’t play them

[fleet oriole]

Rock

[hard cedar]

Waiting for someone to run 7 tvps in comp

[wise moth]

Meds nowadays are really challenging, especially the lower DPM single shooter ones like E-50M and M48, because the thing is, they can't win hulldown fights against other tanks, and they don't have the firepower to exploit gaps in the enemy line like a Leopard, T-62A, or TVP

[bitter lichen]

Yea but maybe cus I play hts like is4, Is7 and e100. They're just meh

[lyric oriole]

[fleet oriole]

Is4 and e100 are meh?

[bitter lichen]

Gameplay wise not performance

[hollow notch]

Maus holding off 5 tanks alone

[trim wyvern]

then gets flanked

[tardy arrow]

M48 has been powercrept for a while and E50m is of course powercrept bc it used to be able to play like a heavium but now it’s just a big med

[bitter lichen]

I mean they're good tanks but not my cup of tea. That's why I always thought that it's med meta. I find myself doing more stuff in meds than in heavies

[lyric oriole]

Is-4 super team dependent

[bitter lichen]

Yea and usually the meds come to help

[wise moth]

I ran 6 TVPs and a Bat with V2 in a quick tournament and beat a decidedly less good clan on Canal

[hard cedar]

Why is that emoji not transparent 🥶

[hard cedar]

Do you still have the replay lol seems interesting

[tardy arrow]

Trading against enemy heavies or even if u deal dmg without taking much, you’ll still lose if your meds fall apart

[hollow notch]

Take a heavy to the med side and their meds are guaranteed to fall apart

[wise moth]

So much this. Bring an IS-7 or a 113 to the medium fight, and it's all over

[bitter lichen]

Srsly? Well I'll try that with my tier X heavies then

[tardy arrow]

Unless their whole team is there or their meds don’t even go there

Yes, it’ll work but is much rather be the one making the important decisions than the enemy and my team

[hollow notch]

A tank that doesn't die and slaughters reds> a tank that is forced to retreat constantly

[wise moth]

Ah, found it

[hard cedar]

Ty

[tardy arrow]

Maybe for average players but I’d much rather play a med than an is4 or 7

[hard cedar]

Probably cuz meds have a more dynamic playstyle

[tardy arrow]

And for much better stats, not just for the enjoyment part

[hollow notch]

Sure, I have more fun in a prog or sherry than anything else, but if I want to have a huge impact on the match, kran, is4, and maus are the way to go

[bitter lichen]

Wait so you're telling that the heavies are the ones that support the meds not the other way around? Just a question

[median oak]

Yes

[hollow notch]

Heavies just brawl whatever they feel like. Mediums are optimal targets because they cant fight back.

[bitter lichen]

Ah I see

[hollow notch]

Why choose an evenly matched fight when I could choose the easy win
Kill meds, then finish off heavies with superior numbers

[tardy arrow]

Personally I want to be the one farming damage and not my teams meds and tds if I played is4 maus etc

[lyric oriole]

Um

You easily can

Maus goes 25kph which with blitz maps isn't that slow at all

And IS-4 is just absurdly fast for a heavy

With everything else it already has

[hollow notch]

Is4 and e5 feel like slugs to me

[bitter lichen]

I think he meant when he's up against hts or something. Which is harder to pen and aim at weakspots and slow reload

[lyric oriole]

I generally get my IS-4 up to high 30, or low 40kph

[hollow notch]

Yes, but it cant turn.

[lyric oriole]

Pretty much most heavies can't

[tardy arrow]

You can’t do as much damage in those tanks and you win more or less the same in meds if you’re a good player, if you’re only average I can agree that you’ll probs be better off in a heavy

[lyric oriole]

You can't do as much damage In maus or IS-4 as meds

Have you played tier 10 ever?

[tardy arrow]

I only play t10...?

[lyric oriole]

Since that's a question I can only assume no

[bitter lichen]

@lyric oriole woa chill

[hollow notch]

I do love my 95e6. Has the medium feel with heavy fighting capability

[tardy arrow]

I thought it would be obvious that I play t10... if I’m having a pretty in depth convo about it

[lyric oriole]

You said "I thought Leopard 1 would be an easy tank to play because of its speed"

That right there is a pretty bad sign

[hollow notch]

I love the fake hatches on the leo

[tardy arrow]

It’s pretty simple to me. You don’t need armor if you won’t get shot in the first place. But now that I think about it, it probably is one of the harder tanks to play for average players that rely on armor

[lyric oriole]

"Just dodge"

[tardy arrow]

Just don’t be in their line of fire in the first place

[gentle wasp]

just don't get shot at you mean
called it

[hard cedar]

Wow he's not even capping he's pretty much only played the leo 1 in the past 30 days

[kindred wren]

Missile flashbacks

[fleet oriole]

Yh, ez

[lyric oriole]

*Dodges IS-4 122, get hit by sniping Grille 15

[hard cedar]

*gets hit by 183

[fleet oriole]

Just dodge better u know

[tardy arrow]

Maybe your playing the leo too aggressive, it’s pretty hard to get cornered into the enemy’s line of fire with the speed you have

[hollow notch]

Can't get shot if you never peek

[gentle wasp]

can't get shot if you never get spotted
the speed is for zipping around redlines so you're outside spotting range

[wise moth]

The problem with not having armor is that you can't exert any control

Leopard can only do 2 things: Snipe, and push overmatches. You can't pin down the enemy like a tank with armor can

[lyric oriole]

Can't get spotted if you never move

[fleet oriole]

Can’t get spotted if u drown

[onyx sluice]

Lol imagine if one day they introduce ground attack aircraft.

[wise moth]

WWII CAS was pretty worthless against tanks, so it'd do very little

[hollow notch]

Track, track, track, track

[onyx sluice]

The game isn't really "historically accurate"

[wise moth]

Well, it's not historically accurate, since tanks in Blitz are much stronger than they are in real life, so that'd make CAS even more worthless

[onyx sluice]

My point was that aircraft will be buffed, the same as tanks are.

[tardy arrow]

Flanking is always an option

Most scenarios where you actually need control is it’s a 7v7 and both teams go to the same side. Then flanking is the best option. And if you’re careful to not get spotted before you rotate out then the enemy team won’t know that they have an overmatch

[lyric oriole]

Flanking?

The only option is generally the middle of the map

And that means you'll get shot from both sides

[hollow notch]

Don't get shot.
Lol

[lyric oriole]

Oh yeah I forgot

Whoops

My bad

[tardy arrow]

If it’s a 7v7 on one side then you have the entire other half of the map to reign free

[lyric oriole]

If

[strange thicket]

i mean, it is not hard to fight off a flank carried out by a leo1.
and Vickers does this much much better with that view range.

[hollow notch]

When the stars align, the leo is godly.

Otherwise it's a bit of a struggle

[hard cedar]

A lot of games are played on med side exclusively

[lyric oriole]

And budget hesh

And armor

[tardy arrow]

That’s my response to needing control. You only need to worry about control if it’s a one side of the map

[lyric oriole]

And light tank camo

A gamble isn't a strategy

You don't know where people will go

And generally teams will split

[tardy arrow]

That’s why I spot first then make my moves based on that

[lyric oriole]

The gamble you are taking has a high risk and a low payout

[strange thicket]

you are assuming optimal conditions which do not happen much.
and if the enemy team has TDs they will hold you off nicely since you don't really have the camo to play like a ghost.

[hard cedar]

Split meaning someone calls one side and there's that one heavy who goes the other way

[lyric oriole]

@hard cedar which even in that case, the heavy will demolish the leopard in most circumstances

[fleet oriole]

6v7

[hollow notch]

Nah, a separated heavy is usually a noob, and noob+broken dpm= ez farm

[tardy arrow]

I’ve played 400 some games in the last 30 days and I’m sure that I didn’t have 400 optimal games in it

[hard cedar]

yeah most people aren't gonna commit to one side without any team support

[tardy arrow]

And it’s not gambling if you spot first then make decisions off that. There’s no risk involved in that

[lyric oriole]

It's not gambling if

That's still not a guarantee

[hard cedar]

If you spot someone don't go ez

[tardy arrow]

How is it not guaranteed if your spotting. I’m only saying if because I’m not sure what you do but I sure do spot

[strange thicket]

it is gonna take you a bit before you get to the flank.
you don't know what the other team will be doing during that time.

[tardy arrow]

If I know I have the flank free there’s many mid positions to crossfire with. It’s not like the map is separated in half by a wall with only the spawns to enter and exit

[lyric oriole]

It kinda is

[hollow notch]

The leo has top tier mobility, so it can run if needed. Give the tank credit for what it can do well. Relocate and harass.

[tardy arrow]

It’s not at all. There’s not one map where you can only find crossfire positions in the spawns

[hollow notch]

@lyric oriole just a question, but how can you talk so much _ about the leo and then call the kv5 not a bad tank?

[lyric oriole]

Because KV-5 fits in the heavy meta

It's always gonna get a boost in that factor

[hollow notch]

._.

The kv5 gets trashed by other heavies. In a heavy meta. That's not good.

[lyric oriole]

If it were a medium or TD meta in Tier 8 I would be much less likely to be so positive about the tank

[gentle wasp]

another guy got slapped around by the T95E2? wow this really needs to stop

[tardy arrow]

He’s probably got steamrolled by a kv5 🙏

[hollow moth]

Stukas, Stukas and more Stukas

[valid gale]

Stukas were more effective against infantry plus how does that matter when that air force was non existent by then

[hollow moth]

Don't talk like that about my little baby Stuka R-2

[solid gate]

Stuka with 1000 kg SC bomb intensifies

[tulip sail]

And the fuse fails

[lyric copper]

oh I can only imagine the FEAR of any medium when they are tracked in front of an IS-7/ WZ-113/ FV215B

[hollow moth]

2 seconds of fuse is enough to explode the bomb of time and don't die ( the pilot may get minor injuries tho).

[tulip sail]

It was relatively common for fuses to fail and not detonate

[hollow moth]

Hmmmm.

[plucky summit]

I wonder if they'll ever change the drown level of FT AC

[solid gate]

War gaming. The panther is a heavy tank. Pls make it a heavy cause it is a very well known tank. And was definitely not a medium tank

[lyric copper]

It was heavy, just never classed as a heavy

[plucky summit]

It weighs the same as IS-2 Pravda SP lol, but yeah, the other heavies are all heavier than Panther I

[lyric copper]

another cool thing: the Leopard 1 weighs 40 tons, the Panther weighs 45

[plucky summit]

Probably classed as a medium because of the low caliber gun combined with the mobility

[tulip sundial]

It was classed as a medium because it was originally supposed to weigh 30 tons

[lyric copper]

dictator person: no make it heavier wah wah

[tulip sundial]

Moustache man wanted more armour tho

[lyric copper]

Panther’s transmission: b r u h

[tulip sundial]

At least it wasn’t as bad as the Tiger II

[lyric copper]

maus: you guys have transmissions?

(The maus couldn’t actually traverse on smooth surfaces)

[tulip sundial]

The Tiger II’s transmission was hard to replace too lmao, smort engineering

[plucky summit]

Tiger II, classified as King Tiger in respect to literally everything else about it:

TIger II in terms of suspension:

[lyric copper]

aktuwalli, it’s called royal tiger

[tulip sundial]

Also panther’s had issues rotating the turret if it was on a slope, due to the electric turret not working while at an angle

[plucky summit]

It's gonna be called a pile of scrap if you don't stop correcting me <3

[lyric copper]

meanwhile Pz. IV

why is its turret SLIGHTLY OFFSET

[tulip sundial]

Tiger II’s gun isn’t aligned centrally in the turret ❤️

[plucky summit]

AT 7: =(

[violet timber]

Because the turret also isn't in the center of the tank

[tulip sundial]

It’s to the slight right I believe

[violet timber]

I'm pretty sure the panther's turret is also offset

[lyric copper]

any post war french design before the 70s be like:

“hmm yes this looks good, but what does it truly need?”

“AH OUI MAX, a giant cupola/ rangefinder/ turret”

[plucky summit]

MS-1: =(

[lyric copper]

still can’t believe France agreed with the stupid looking cupola rather than an actual periscope like the Type 74

[plucky summit]

Cut costs 8)

[violet timber]

They need to see well in order to retreat in time

[lyric copper]

funny how the Swedish perfected hit and run tactics even without a turret

[plucky summit]

Speed and flatness

[lyric copper]

imagine needing a turret to hit and run

this message was sent by Strv 103 gang

[hollow notch]

Imagine needing more than 1 crew member

[plucky summit]

Nearly every tank in existence: =(

[midnight leaf]

strv 103 never saw action tho

[lyric copper]

think about it tho

[hollow notch]

Strv 103 go brrrrr

[plucky summit]

It never saw action

[hollow notch]

I gotta say, a (50ish?) Round clip would be hella nice to have

[plucky summit]

Sounds like Console T7 Car x 2

[lyric copper]

you ever just brrrt wit’ tha’ 30mm autocannon

[sacred trail]

Should I push the M-VII-Yoh straight from the M6, or should I push the T57 or E5, since I could buy the M103 and T54 once I get the credits

[hollow notch]

T57 is gonna be outclassed once the yoh gets introduced

[violet timber]

That's the plan

[fleet oriole]

57 will still have 300 more burst

[hollow notch]

2 shells with a faster dump is a significantly more useful. Tanks are usually in cover by the time you try to put the last t57 shell in.

[fleet oriole]

It still has the extra burst, you need to aim for drive wheel

[violet timber]

The yoh will have more armor

[hollow notch]

You track me once-> repair and back up
Tracked again-> 2nd repair and get back in cover

3rd shell just kinda sitting there...
Guess I'll reload

[fleet oriole]

See? Fun

[violet timber]

The extra armor of the yoh also means you can sit in front of opponents and not worry about being an easy pen

[hollow notch]

Also it has the stupid armor behind the idler wheel, so you can't really take off the track and pen at the same time

[fleet oriole]

57 armour can be troll

[violet timber]

Yeah but it's not reliable

[spare solar]

Got called a wallet warrior today...I dont understand i only spent like around 6k gold and ended up with the smasher

[violet timber]

People will always be salty

[dense prawn]

It's because people don't know how to destroy a Smasher, and it can only be purchased, so they feel cheated.

[spare solar]

As they should be the one who called me a wallet warrior got 1 shotted by me😂

[spare solar]

Well jokes on them i got it for free from a crate

This given it to me

[thorny smelt]

I have no complaints with playing KV-5 at the moment. I know AT15 can creep me up to my butt and shoot me good. I still get to pen the VK 100.01 P at the bottom hull or the copula.

I treated it like I did to Pz. T-25 because of their similarities to armor relative to the majority of their respective tiers. The gun may be a tier lower (tier 7) but you're bad if you rush with this kind of tank. Think of it like a giant heavium despite it is a prototype super heavy tank with decent speed for this type of tank.

[spare solar]

I went against a kv5 thought i was gonna die til a teammate showed up

[finite forum]

buff kv2

[thorny smelt]

It can go against most of tier 7 and 8 tanks but there might be some problems when go against tier 9. At most is tier 8 and I didn't encounter any tier 9 tanks at this moment. When I say they have similar armor, what I mean is that it is easy to penetrate at the front by tanks with ammo that penetrate higher than 180 mm.

[spare solar]

@thorny smelt my normal bullets it showed red so my only option was he rounds which it worked but slow reload

[thorny smelt]

What tank did you use at that time?

[spare solar]

Smasher

[thorny smelt]

AP rounds don't work because of 140 mm penetration. Go for HEAT instead. It has 250 mm maximum penetration.

[spare solar]

I usually avoided it but i will add some

[thorny smelt]

It might cost you 5200 silver coins for every shot.

[spare solar]

I thought i been shooting them if it costs silver

I didn't touch the gold one xd

[thorny smelt]

You can change it to resupply ammo with purely on silver coins. Reserve your gold coins for buying other tanks.

[spare solar]

I shall

They should add more tanks in that tank section in the store

[thorny smelt]

The tanks in the tank section in the store are based on prototypes and blueprints and sometimes produced but rarely used or not used at all. That's why you can't see any other tanks like Smasher or Dracula, or other tanks that are not within WW2 and post-WW2 period.

[spare solar]

That explains alot for me thx for for that

[thorny smelt]

The tanks in the battle pass are variations of the tech tree tanks. Basically decorated tech tree tanks.

I like heavy tanks a lot

I cant use light-med tanks im used to pushing and soaking damage while bis slapping people as long someone doesn't snipe me😂

[dense prawn]

It's pocket change for me.

[sacred trail]

That’s why I bought the Mauerbreacher when Gravity Force was live

[thorny smelt]

You know how I also feel. LOL. I prefer to spend gold on premium heavy tanks.

[dense prawn]

Anyway, someone tell me why I should, and should not, get the Type 59 Ding.

[spare solar]

I have soo many non premium and premium heavies in my selection

Heavies for days

If this was irl i would be annoying af if i had all the tanks i got people gonna try to kill me for days might as wait til im out of gas good luck if i run out of bullets because im ramming

[thorny smelt]

It is all up to you. It has some good reviews from some players who obtained that tank. You can ask them in #general-blitz-discussion.

[dense prawn]

ty

[hard cedar]

it's meh got powercreeped the gun is pretty trash and the armor is ok

[thorny smelt]

I have a variety of tanks except for light tanks. I know I have my heart for the tier 5 Leopard because I'm getting good using it properly. But the Crusader, I used to love it prior to 7.9 update before it became an autoloader like its tier 4 collector sibling, Covenanter.

[proud knoll]

WG i need help

[acoustic ginkgo]

nice roll

[thorny smelt]

Yeah. So lucky Q_Q

[acoustic ginkgo]

but i only spent 5.5k gold on a 3% smasher drop crate
to get the smasher

[spare solar]

Thx costed a lot gold tho

Soo many boxes i opened 😂

[acoustic ginkgo]

how much gold then ?

[spare solar]

Over 30k gold in general

So many boxes so little tanks i got

Got a lot of premium access tho

Im not mad tho

[acoustic ginkgo]

wow, unlucky

[spare solar]

i was spamming the boxes😂

For the smasher in general tho i got it from the 15th box tho

[acoustic ginkgo]

yea, spamming the box give you a very high change to get the tank

[spare solar]

Yes

Only tank i got easy was the t22 medium got that on the second box when it first touched the store

It was the most easiest out of all my tanks😂

[thorny smelt]

It doesn't need to, KV-1 has more weak spots than BDR G1 B

[neat nimbus]

last battle before update

[tulip sundial]

They update first cluster at 11:30, I’m never in first cluster

[calm inlet]

well, yeah

they have to take the first server offline so they can update it

[worthy surge]

What should I upgrade first?

[rigid thunder]

go for the tier 9 105mm gun, then tracks (if u want better gun handling but worse mobility) then engine

[vivid turtle]

is the fv4005 line worth to grind for?

[still plover]

Should I buy t54 legendary camouflage

[still plover]

Depends

[solid gate]

Yes, the firefly is painful but it's a nice surprise at the end from what I hear. I'm on the Firefly right now and as much as I want to yeet my phone through the window every time I play it the end result is a solid, although pennable, alpha machine. I would definitely recommend the FV

[still plover]

Firefly makes it so you don’t have to aim for weak spots

I adored the firefly

[solid gate]

Yeah it's pen is good but my issue with it is that it's in t6. It has a t5 hull. And its slow. And it's gun dep is depressing. The pen and fire-rate are top notch, but it's severe lack of armor makes it annoying to play in t7 battles. And my MM has hated me lately and only given me t7 battles in that thing

[still plover]

Play medium with no armour play style

[solid gate]

So, VK 30 P but without the 200 alpha

[solid gate]

The IS-4 is paper to gold ammo, why do people say it's strong?

[plucky rain]

Because most of them are scrubs

[manic carbon]

The armour profile and HEAT, and the mobility isn’t bad

[hollow notch]

This isn't really paper

[hollow moth]

I love how many people say "lol [insert very armored tank] is very paper to prammo", but these people never played this tank. They also rarely face this vehicle, but when they see it, it's mostly when this tank is exposed, otherwise they run away.

"Lol, Maus is so paper... Even if I get a tier 8 I can penetrate it easily"

• ISU-152 Driver

[violet timber]

“Maus is paper to prammo”

[thorny smelt]

I never knew KV-5 mainly uses APCR

[hollow notch]

The other gun is a better choice

anyone know when amx 30b will come back out?

I think the last time it was out was for the auction during Christmas so it should come around soon I think

[heavy pond]

alright thanks for letting me know

[rough saddle]

the new vechiles are too op

[heavy pond]

ikr their insane if their lower hull was stronger it would be a monster

[kindred spear]

I was taking a look here and there is a tank called FV101 Scorpion, it reaches 82 KM/H and it could be added into the game as a tier 8 premium.

[wise moth]

*72km/h

[static harness]

These tanks are exactly what they game needed
More autoloader (added bonus points for having reasonable armor)

[violet timber]

That's only going to be for a few days, I've already had battles where I was the only M-VI-Yoh so it's already dying down

[valid cedar]

which one is faster: the obj 268 or the t10 ho ri?

[violet timber]

I think the Ho-Ri though I don't own either of them so I'm unsure

[valid cedar]

i only own the ho ri and i was just curious to see what the obj beats the ho ri at other than alpha

[violet timber]

Obj has better armor I believe

[violet timber]

Oh shoot, my bad

[valid cedar]

so is the obj faster ig

[latent meteor]

@gentle wasp you should test and write down the 0-40kmph for every tank.
Put it into a excel doc.

[gentle wasp]

noted. that's a pretty neat idea, I'll see what I can do

[violet timber]

lower plate and the hatches, though I have found that the hatches can be troll

[hollow notch]

You sure you are using prammo?

[plucky summit]

I was, yes, and because of the perspective, the gun mantlet wan't penetrable as yours

Yours is angled from the bottom a bit, which wouldn't seem like an urban encounter that the VK would sidescrape in

[mellow marten]

What's the usual month and or time that the Chrysler K is in stores?

[hard cedar]

there is no usual time

[mellow marten]

so then just wait and hope it appears in the store?

[hard cedar]

i think tanks come in store every 6 months so 6 months from when it last came ig

[hollow notch]

@mellow marten of all the tanks you can pick, why did you settle on the Chrysler k?

[mellow marten]

I don't know I just like the idea of that tank

Sorta just after rear turreted tanks

Kinda of a mood for me for certain tanks to be used or not

[hard cedar]

grind for the 215b ezpz

those are just extra spaced armor i think
@white sandal vindicator sucks predator though is a chi ri but actually good

[spare solar]

Basically useless like cosmetic?

[plucky summit]

No, they’re the best sideskirts in the game

[white sandal]

bett, any major weaknesses it has? It looks like the bottom middle plate is vulnerable and thats worrying

[violet timber]

All lfps are weak unless you're in a tiger 2

[white sandal]

I mean yea but am I able to angle well with this tank or will I always get shot there

[kindred thorn]

no a little bit of extra armor and also HE shells will not be able to pen

[spare solar]

I like my tiger 2 alot it actually bounce bullets unlike my E75 and E75 TS

[plucky summit]

Or AT 2 @violet timber and like others in that line

[kindred thorn]

AT line is like tiger 2 armor
either cupola is weak or entire hull

How To Plays Chimera Tank?

[violet timber]

Hull down and bully with big alpha

[hard cedar]

How to sta1 I can work paper tanks but this mobility is 🥴

[violet timber]

It has a nice sniping gun so you're pretty much forced to either a hull down or second line support role

[lyric oriole]

Or long range

It's is actually a long range vehicle

The gun handling, camo rating, penetration, and best in class/tier penetration loss

[hard cedar]

Oh gun handling isn't working super well for me but ty

[lyric oriole]

The base values are average but the factors are almost the best

[hard cedar]

Ah I see

[echo fern]

so how come the churchill I has 2 guns but only the turret gun works?

if anyone knows why?

[sinful thorn]

If 2 guns can work together how are u gonna arrange the shoot button for both guns?

[echo fern]

i have a touchpad so maybye have touchpad and mouse?

Also the aim circle of both gun too especially on small phone

If this game is for pc only then there might be a chance

[echo fern]

No. I’ll be for a 152mm buff when it loses the ability to one shot tanks.
We don’t need to return to the pre nerf version of KV-2 derp, + an armour buff

Because of the derp gun lol

can someone give a short simple explanation for derp gun?

IS-2SH good or not ?

[wise moth]

No, it's pretty bad

[lament cosmos]

oooh like that, thank you@wise moth

[celest dawn]

If I were to buy a premium tank, what tank do you guys suggest.

[wise moth]

IS-3 is great. Use the strong mobility to quickly seize good positions, then use the low profile and invincible turret to play hulldown, and blast away with arguably the best gun on a tier 8 IS-style tank.

[valid cedar]

accuracy

[lament cosmos]

and patience bruh

[wise moth]

The frontal hull armor isn't great, only ~200mm effective head on, so most same tier tanks will pen it without issue.

Although, any modicum of skill makes that a non-issue, since the mobility lets it get into cover quickly, and when in cover, the turret is arguably the best in the game, even better than tier 10s

[manic carbon]

If it also had strong frontal hull armour it would be so strong with its low profile and god turret

[late ledge]

These “Yoh” tanks are getting on my nerves. 3 shots dealing 300 damage each to mediums and lights at tier 6-7. Can’t pen them with St Emil or SU-100Y. They are in every lobby.
