[violet timber]

In PC they replaced the 183 with the 4005

[slender cliff]

Did they I thought the badger replaced something

[onyx sluice]

But back to the original point, a tier 10 exclusive currency will be nice. Like bonds.

Maybe not bond equipment but it can be used for camos or attachments. Or even collector tanks.

[violet timber]

Not as far as I know

I could be wrong though

[slender cliff]

Idk I don’t play a lot of pc nowadays

[violet timber]

Me neither

[kindred wren]

The FV215b (183) was replaced by the Badger, and the FV4005 line (the same we have in Blitz, except that their FV4005 has a 183mm gun) was introduced to give newer players the chance to obtain a tank with a 183mm gun as well

[violet timber]

Ah that makes sense

[slender cliff]

Mmm ye

[vivid hearth]

Why is the 121b performing as bad as it does (I wanna get it but like, idk :v)

[low rampart]

With light tanks do you always flank primarily or assist the team shooting on/off the cover?

[violet timber]

121b isn’t really that bad, it’s just that the 121 performs better

[violet timber]

Light tanking is sort of an art that you have to find out for yourself. I personally like to stay very mobile, but others take up spotting positions so it depends on what you like to do and what works well

[low rampart]

My skills on light tanks are random, when i get a good position it's top 3 damages, but then i go flanking to find the whole enemy team on my face. Seems like a parody of my life in a way.

[violet timber]

I like going to one flank, then using mobility to go all the way around the map and flank the other way

[slender cliff]

If you flank don’t go alone unless you are certain the enemy team is going the other way

[mighty tinsel]

252U balanced, OP, or broken?

[slender cliff]

And the difference between op and broken?

[hard cedar]

i think he means broken is better than op but idk

[mighty tinsel]

Yeah that’s right.

[violet timber]

Op

[onyx sluice]

It's OP. Luckily most of the times when I meet one they don't bother to hide the lower plate lol.

[solid gate]

Balanced

Anyone with half a brain can butter the lower plate.

Too bad that neurological function in the average blitz player is practically nonexistent

[violet timber]

That’s the only reason it’s op

[vivid hearth]

Tbf tho, forget about the lower plate, it’s sides bounce an illegal number of shots

[pastel moon]

are they gonna add more polish tanks?

[violet timber]

They're adding the 60TP line

[west plover]

When will the Chieftain mk6 be back in stores?

[sacred trail]

Yeah, and the 4005 in Blitz is more like a “balanced” WT E 100 with a 123 mm gun, 60 millimeters smaller than the desired caliber

[kindred wren]

I do not desire a 183mm gun

[sacred trail]

Some people do (actually a lot of people do, like me), but others play better with the smaller gun for accuracy and possibly increasing penetration

[plucky summit]

I love FV4005 as a tank in Blitz

[kindred wren]

Only because it‘s like your tank creations: Centurion hull, village barn turret and Badger gun 😛

[plucky summit]

😶

[sacred trail]

If any of us had a chance to design a custom tier 10, we’d have the L4 as the main gun in at least 30% of the suggestions

[plucky summit]

I’m not the one asking for FV4005’s turret

[kindred wren]

That looks like the Type 5 Heavy hull

[plucky summit]

Chimera…

[kindred wren]

I meant Chimera, mistyped 👀😇

[sacred trail]

I was thinking Conway

[kindred wren]

Nah, the hull has cheeks which rules out the Centurion hull (on which the Conway is based)

[plucky summit]

Ehem, I go

[kindred wren]

Is that the Type 5 Heavy hull now?

[plucky summit]

No but it’s a heavy ripoff :p

[kindred wren]

Also, I know this turret but I can‘t quite say which it is, though the general shape reminds me of the T-2020 turret (if the spaced armour was main armour)

[plucky summit]

Best chance you got is Carro de Combato or whatever it is

[kindred wren]

Is it all made up?

[plucky summit]

Yeah, hull inspired by Type 5 H

[kindred wren]

And here‘s me trying to figure put what it‘s meant to depict 😆

[plucky summit]

😵

[hollow moth]

You're probably the guy that developed Sprocket

[west rapids]

No I did

[plucky summit]

I’m not even getting Sprocket :p

[dawn barn]

Arl 44, kv-2 (If pro) maybe One Cromwell

[copper swan]

Which tanks are now good tournament tanks in tier 6,8,10 after the recent balance changes?
across all tank types, light medium heavy and tank destroyers

[brave night]

Not many heavies were kicked out at t10 other than e5 really other than that e50m and fv4202 are used sometimes

[neat nimbus]

im kinda disapointed that wg didnt revamp some old legendary camos

imagine if the Lówe got built-in attachments in its legendary camo

i would buy thatbut in discount

[violet timber]

Tier 6 is ARL. Tier 8 is still 252U and Emil spam iirc. Tier 10 is now Yoh, Yoh, and some more Yoh to top it off.

[copper swan]

That's all for heavy tanks in tournaments?

[quaint gust]

It took me 8 games to get a win in the tiger (p)

[violet timber]

Yes.

The only tier where other classes are useful is tier 10, where you will occasionally see a Vicker light, T-22 or 140, and now I'm hearing about E50M's and 4202's as well

[hard cedar]

is4 will 100% still be used

[violet timber]

Also Kran, but I just wanted to point out how used the Yoh is

[slender cliff]

The yoh is decent

[hard cedar]

*the yoh is good

[neat nimbus]

why the removal of some premiun tech tree

[solid gate]

no one buys it that much on the Tree, and most of it usually gets sold in the store for 25% off the price and with prem days, legendary camo (maybe the reason)

[zenith drift]

what tier 8 prem tank is worth to get?

[drifting grove]

There are 61 premiums of various types at Tier VIII. Which type of tank are you looking for?

[onyx sluice]

What playstyle do you prefer?

[zenith drift]

maybe like a mt or an ht
good speed
has armor

[drifting grove]

Heavies? Löwe. It's slow, but has excellent armour and a powerful gun. Probably one of the best heavies at Tier VIII.

[zenith drift]

hmmm
not my type cuz its slow tho
maybe the super pershing or the offer in shop
the wz 112 and the t34

[zenith drift]

i can only buy one of thoe 3 tanks..

[drifting grove]

Mediums? Chimera. Ridiculously powerful gun. Not in the store at the moment though. Wait till it comes.

[violet timber]

Don’t get spershing, it’s bad. I’d say either Chimera or 252U

[zenith drift]

chimera is stong tho but before i continue i have a question
is superpershing strong and wz 113 glacial?

[drifting grove]

I don't really know.

[violet timber]

Spershing is bad, glacial is bad, celestial is good.

[zenith drift]

oh ok thx for helping me

[onyx sluice]

I would suggest the premium Emil. Or the E75 TS.

[drifting grove]

Chimera?

[zenith drift]

i meant the 113 glacial

[plucky summit]

SPershing is slow too xD

[zenith drift]

i already suffered the old cent 7 1 with the 40 speed it has back then so i think maybe super pershing is good

[plucky summit]

It's terrible

Lowe > Spersh, base don performance, it'll earn more credits that way despite lacking a bit of credit coefficient

[zenith drift]

Hmm how about the 112 glacier or the t34?

[zealous anchor]

😵‍💫

[violet timber]

Glacial is bad, get Celestial

[zenith drift]

Oh ok thx I guess and hello aurocia,anything u would suggest?

[zealous anchor]

idk sorry I don't have either and I don't play much tier 8 hehehe

[zenith drift]

Oh I didn't see celestial in the shop that's why

[plucky summit]

I just say Lowe is a good investment
I'm wondering why every tank you're considering is slow, yet you dislike slow tanks

But if you want another tank instead of the credit maker Lowe, then WZ-112-2

[thorny smelt]

WZ-122 Glacial for me is quite decent

[plucky summit]

Yeah but WZ-112-2 is basically just better

[thorny smelt]

I don't mind the speed being 32 kmph. It has similarities to WZ-122-2 in terms of gun handling. Only Glacial is cheaper to repair and a bit better traverse speed while WZ-122-2 is faster.

[plucky summit]

WZ-112-2 has a stronger armor profile too

[thorny smelt]

Both seem similar to me

[plucky summit]

They are

[thorny smelt]

I still give some love to these tanks but I'm short on gold when I bought the Glacial and Blaze bundle and Jagdtiger 8,8 cm bundle.

[violet timber]

STA-1 supremacy

[hollow notch]

Over the pershing

And the centurion

And that's about it

[violet timber]

Technically Panther 2 and Indien as well

[zenith drift]

interms on making credits whats the best one?
wz122 2
superpershing
lowe
t34?

[violet timber]

Lowe is the best credit maker, with the 112-2 being second, T34 being theird, and super pershing being bad

[zenith drift]

112 2 then

[violet timber]

112-2 is relatively easy to use

[thorny smelt]

Here is the comparison between some premium tanks in terms of credit coefficients

[zenith drift]

why does everyone hates superpershing?

[violet timber]

Because it's slow, has ez pen armor, and a stock standard tier 8 med gun which is boring

[slender cliff]

Yeah, wg should buff it’s frontal armor, and gun at least

[zenith drift]

Wait is the tank that has the name t34 good?
In the shop that has an offer

[lyric copper]

It’s best value is it’s pen, highest of any tier 8 HT, however, it’s hull is made of the worst American cheese, and the turret can be penned by higher pen TDs

Compare this to the T32 (non premium) which has a better turret, albeit a worse gun

If you want the best of both, wait for a T54E2 offer, it has great turret armour, a good gun, and decent mobility

[zenith drift]

I meant the t34 3,is it worth getting?,is it fun?

[lyric copper]

The Chimera is better in almost every statistic, plus it has super consumables that allow it to go faster, aim better, and reduce damage taken for some time

[thorny smelt]

Also, you can't side-scrape

[lyric copper]

You can, but you need serious angles to do so

[zenith drift]

So the best offer for my 7.5k gold is the wz 112 2?

[lyric copper]

Black Friday is coming soon (on my birthday lol) which means there will most likely be a good tank on sale, they did the 252u last year, which is one of the best tanks in the game winrate wise

[zenith drift]

Tho some said in yt that wz112 2 is somewhat like a obj 252u

[zenith drift]

Advance happy birthday~

[lyric copper]

@zenith drift it is, but the 2 are ever slightly so different, if you could, I’d say buy both, but you have stated earlier you can only get one

for now though, I’d pick the WZ-122-2

[zenith drift]

Ok I'll pick wz thx for the help

i think i might choose the t34 3 because of the mobility and the aiming time

[lyric copper]

the WZ is more competitive btw

[broken turtle]

fact: fully equipped + full food pudel is more accurate than a stock grille and leo 1

[manic carbon]

A medium that tries to be a heavy and fails at it

[thorny smelt]

Lowe's turret ring can also be penned?

[lyric copper]

and when all 3 are fully equipped, both are more accurate than the pudel

[dreamy dragon]

@flat pier shouldn't the picture say CDA instead of CAD (Canon D'Assaut)

[real plover]

Minor spelling mistake I guess

[exotic fog]

Technically ( language wise ) I believe ... the d shouldn't be there either way ... but yes, banner typo.

[full kiln]

is the object 140 worth it if i have the t62 a?

[hollow notch]

The gun is pathetic, the armor is pathetic, the mobility is pathetic.
The only thing about the tank that isn't pathetic is the credit coefficient, but it can't even use it because the tank is so pathetic it doesn't put out damage

[pastel moon]

which one is stronger TVP T 50/51 or leopard 1?

[hard cedar]

It's fun but chimera is better
1s aim time and 270 heat are 👌

[hollow notch]

Prog

[violet timber]

TVP supremacy

[thorny smelt]

Use premium tanks

[sullen gale]

Hello would you say the is8 is better than his brother?

[rigid thunder]

who on earth is the IS-8's brother

[sullen gale]

The other t9 russian heavy

[violet timber]

Than the ST-I? No, not really. IS-8 has worse armor, but better mobility, lending it a harder heavium play style while the ST-I is your stock standard heavily armored Russian heavy, easy to use, easy to win with

[sullen gale]

Ok i have both but sold the sti

[violet timber]

Good, IS-7 supremacy

[sullen gale]

what

[violet timber]

IS-8 leads to the IS-7

[sullen gale]

Yes but i heard about a little ammorack thing

[hard cedar]

Yes but that's not a thing just a meme

[spark roost]

Guys is WZ-113 better than IS-7, and is the T110E5 still a good tank even after the Dpm nerf?

[violet timber]

T110E5 is now just above average. I personally like the IS-7 more, but it’s sort of a case of dpm vs alpha

[thorny smelt]

You mean ST-I?

[sullen gale]

Yes

[slender cliff]

For me yes. I remember absolutely destroying is-8s with the St-1 through hull down positions and side scraping. Some people might disagree but I find the st-1 more solid of a tank.

[sullen gale]

Okay thank you, i think the reason why it felt bad is that i only have the stock version

[violet timber]

ST-I is the third best tier nine heavy, behind K-91 and E75

[sullen gale]

Is the k-91 tech tree?

[violet timber]

No, it’s a premium

[sullen gale]

Ah okay, i dont have that much premiums

[violet timber]

Get to tier 10 and it won’t really matter

[sullen gale]

Why?

[violet timber]

Because tier 10 is relatively balanced over all, with premiums not being overly dominant

[slender cliff]

Get the tope turret then guns. If you were lucky enough to grind the is-3 and it’s bl-9, you would also have that unlocked on the st-1 which will benefit you loads. If you don’t just keep grinding. Things can only get better from there.

@violet timber I’m guessing k-91 is first e75 is second and st-1 is third.

[violet timber]

Yeah, but it’s close between the ST-I and E75

[sullen gale]

I first have to get 3.5 million credits to buy it again

[slender cliff]

Nah its fine then just keep grinding the st-1. Unless you fully grinded the is-3 it’s just a waste of time doing 2 tanks at the same time

[sullen gale]

You mean is8?

[slender cliff]

No wait what are you talking about?

[sullen gale]

Idk,what are you talking about?

[slender cliff]

Is-3

[sullen gale]

lol thought we talk about the sti xD

[slender cliff]

No no do you have the St1?

[sullen gale]

Yes i do but i sold it

[slender cliff]

Bruh aight do you have the is-3?

[delicate zinc]

shork

10k gold for a t8 seems a little expensive tho

[brave night]

Shark is one of the most broken tanks in the game and kanonen is being sold for more

[analog vigil]

Broken is not the word it’s just good or very good tank (i don’t think it) but anyway broken or op is absolutly not the word

[hard cedar]

broken is the word

[exotic fog]

All depends on the teams you get anyhow.

[violet timber]

I dunno, brining an E5 armor profile to tier 8 seems pretty broken to me

[slender cliff]

How does it compare to the isu gun

[slender cliff]

Broken and op are terms thrown about tbh. Shouldn’t be taken too seriously

[violet timber]

ISU gun is completely overkill for the tier, the Shark’s is quite good with nice depression angles and decent dpm

[slender cliff]

Hmm ok good 🤡

[hollow notch]

Such trash armor

[violet timber]

Wiggle time

[plucky summit]

If only we had T54E2 on console so we could see how it deals with 999 pen

[violet timber]

I’m sorry what?

[plucky summit]

Tier 10 medium - Turret
999mm penetration

[slender cliff]

Stop that’s illegal

[plucky summit]

What's funny is that the gun on it is classified as a tier 4 gun

[slender cliff]

Kekw

[violet timber]

A tier 4 gun with 999mm of pen? Balanced.

We’ll can it the “One-Shotter”. It’ll have 9,999 alpha, but a 1 minute reload with 100% crew and no provisions or equipment

[plucky summit]

Anyone on NA got a Jageroo I need for testing?

[violet timber]

I have a Jageroo

[plucky summit]

Load it with CS, I need ya to shoot my mle 54's gun mantlet with HEAT to see if it's possible as someone has claimed

[violet timber]

Aight I can do that

[plucky summit]

Room "Jageroo Bullying AMX M4 mle 54"
Pass 1235

@kindred otter If you check around 3:00, that's when the weakest part would be shot at, none of the shots penetrated, Jg. Pz. E100 CS HEAT

BH says the armor wasn't different there at all before the armor nerf

[violet timber]

Gotta take off the 24 rounds of Jageroo heat now lol

[plucky summit]

xD

[violet timber]

May play a game with pure HEAT, just for the lols

[kindred otter]

Well can't watch rn cuz on phone but I certainly got turret front penned at least once when I played it at Christmas 😂

I know it's turret is basically all red so idk what happend to me

[violet timber]

There is the area around the mantlet that is easily penable

[plucky summit]

Did Jageroo splash HE and that looks like a pen because it splashed you with damage? :p

Or maybe it's a classic (I hit here but the hole is there) moment, where they shot right at the edge, and the hole said yeah so anyways I penned 460mm

[kindred otter]

Could've been the mg port or Smth 54 should have smth like that

[past crane]

What tank is facing the 279e in armorinspector?

[violet timber]

Nah we tried the mg port with about 10 or so rounds, none got through

[kindred otter]

Okay that's wierd idk then how that happend

^ this goes to all the people that bought the Kanonen yesterday

[slender cliff]

Lmaoo I don’t understand the purpose of getting it anyways

[hard cedar]

for fun
thats about it

[solid gate]

I was referring to them wasting their gold when one of the best tier 8s in the game came in the shop literally 24 hours later

[visual jolt]

I love how the kitted out Kanonen costs almost as much as 2 kitted out tier 8 prem heavies

One of which is one of the best heavies at the tier

[agile crest]

New tanks are always more expensive.

[hard cedar]

new tanks are always 15k first sale out of crates

[visual jolt]

Yes. Great reason to buy shark instead

[plucky summit]

Too bad I got Kanonen for $5 anyways :)

[agile crest]

👀

[lyric copper]

also mrw I realised people who bought it in crates just got nae-naed on by wg

[solid gate]

ngl I love my shark so much, it’s a shame I didn’t get it sooner

[boreal spruce]

Chimera or T54E2?

T26E4 or M48A2 raumpanzer?

[fast compass]

Anything is better than super pershing

[hollow notch]

Cent 1 is pushing it

[boreal spruce]

no seriously, Superpershing or The new M48A2 (but with nerfed stats.) ?

both tanks are very similar.
40km, armour. massive weakspots on turrets. 90mm gun etc.... which would be better?

Although T26E4 does have smaller less obvious weakspots whilst the M48A2 has a massive "shoot Me!" spot...

[hard cedar]

It seems the new Sherman will actually have some armor
But we'll have to wait and see

[boreal spruce]

Sherm?

[hard cedar]

Not Sherman oops
M48
Ignore that!
Meant Patton

[boreal spruce]

oh, few, 😶 i check the stats on Blitzhanger and Blitzstars. it seems to be an OP version of the T26E4.

[hard cedar]

It's not hard to be a better tank than the spersh

[boreal spruce]

WG will nerf its stats before it gets released though

[hard cedar]

How you know

[boreal spruce]

i have the superpersh. great tank. amazing credit grinder. and i have the Raumpanzer on PC so i want it !!1

[hard cedar]

Spersh great tank?

[boreal spruce]

WG(wargaming) always nerf the stats before its official release. they make sure the tank looks great (in test) and people will pay money 💸 to buy it then.. naughty WG 👀

[hard cedar]

They don't though
And people judge off if what it is at release not test
Turtle was good in test but not at release
Therefore nobody bought it

[boreal spruce]

turtle..... same as Jagpanzer kanone.... and STG

Whatever happened to Type 59 patton?

[hard cedar]

Skoda t 27 wasn't nerfed to what I'm aware
Neither was ts5
Kampfpanzer is going to be released soon and it received a buff
Sometimes they nerf sometimes they don't
If you want to make money, making it broken during test does nothing if you nerf it afterwards

[boreal spruce]

Kampf has been in test for a long time ... you reckon it will be the new christmas tank?

[hard cedar]

idk maybe but we won't know until December

[novel swift]

Hey! I was wondering if someone knows where is Vickers Light 105 ammorack?

[hard cedar]

I believe you can look that up on wotinspector

[novel swift]

Nop

They say they don't have the info

[hollow notch]

I am going to assume it will be Similar to what the centurions have

[novel swift]

As long as I know it has 2 in the turret and 1 in chassis, I'm trying but I can't hit them!

[hollow notch]

T26E5>ramPz>t26e4

[solid gate]

Is it just me or does the IS-7 feel way better now. I played it again 2 weeks ago after a brake and it feels so mutch better. And i bounce more i think

[plucky summit]

It'll be better in 8.3 I think

[solid gate]

I have seen a preview of the texture and damn it looks sexy

And im happy that the red star is getting bigger

[thorny smelt]

I have the KV-4 already. All I need is the IS-3 with the BL-9 gun and I'm all good.

[thorny mulch]

Yessir go for it man

[neat nimbus]

is worthe the kranvng

[boreal spruce]

Kran's a great tank. the line too is good. If you want a tier 10 heavy then get something else though. but if you want a ridge liner with a unique autoreloading system get the kran

[spare kestrel]

but be careful to it hull

just show only your turret

[boreal spruce]

💯

[lilac garden]

Can anyone help me out? I have 5 mil credits. And I have these tier 10s fully researched. Which one should I go for?

1. E100
2. Kranvagn
3. FV4202
4. AMX 50 120
   Please help me.

[drifting grove]

You need 6 million to buy any Tier X.

[plucky summit]

Just get FV4202

[zealous anchor]

I think he has clan supply + 5.something million

[plucky summit]

4202 is the big pog rn

[lilac garden]

I have those certificates

[drifting grove]

Oh.

[celest steppe]

any tips on playing with the vk.36.01 h

[nocturne sage]

Angle ur hull, u good hull armor but its flat so angle it a bit. This goes for the tiger 1 as well
If same or top tier, bully. During my play of it, it has a great turret for its tier.
I would recommend mounting the 88mm

[nocturne lotus]

obviously E100

[celest steppe]

thank you!

[nocturne sage]

I think amx 50 120

[lilac garden]

Thanks man

[lilac garden]

Will buy

[celest steppe]

guys, which is better, tiger 1 or tiger p? i have researched vk36.01h and about to research tiger 1. but i dont know if thats a mistake or i should research tiger P?

[nocturne sage]

Depends, do u want to play the king tiger of the vk 100 p

[celest steppe]

umm i just wanna know which one is better. im ok with vk 100 or king tiger

i favour manuevarability tho

[nocturne sage]

I personally enjoyed the tiger 1 over the tiger p, it’s faster than the p and it’s really good at bullying meds

[low rampart]

Tiger 1 is a faster heavy, with a bit less armor. It's mobility let's it be a bit more versatile. Tiger P has better armor and the same gun, so both are good, pick any.

[celest steppe]

i pick tiger 1. thank u so much for ur help

[nocturne sage]

Then u might wanna do the tiger 1 but remember to angle your hull, it may have 165mm of armor but it’s flat.
Angle ur hull in a diamond shape, ie one of the corner of the front is in line with ur gun

[celest steppe]

ok bye i have to go

[real plover]

Petition to give Bat chat 2.2 second intraclip instead of 2.8

[onyx sluice]

The AMX 50 120 is a tier 9, not tier 10.

I would suggest the Kranvagn BTW.

[marble night]

@stone hill Quick question. I saw on one of WG's player support articles that merging multiple accounts would be impossible. The example was (RU, EU, and NA). What if the two accounts were both on the same server and all I wanted was for my lost account's tanks to be on my current.

[nocturne tiger]

finally upgraded the E-50 but... Still not liking it :/

[pure mirage]

There was weird mark on M-VI-Yoh track, what it is

[copper swan]

Track reverser

[pure mirage]

What that is for

[regal bough]

just means you can still move when your tracked just very slowly

[rigid thunder]

and only backwards

[regal bough]

yes

[sullen gale]

Like a safety track

[pure mirage]

Ooooh

kk

[surreal blade]

so it isnt worth it ? i was saving credits for it .have 50 k free xp for it but another option for me would be to get ru251 and fully upgrade it . which should i take ?

[nocturne tiger]

Well I'm not sure, I still need a couple of games in it and I'm probably not playing it properly, but I'm sure the E-50M itself is worth it

[surreal blade]

that im sure of . but i dont want a painful tier ix

just got through quite a few painful tanks , amx ac46, 48 ,arl v39 and few others

[nocturne tiger]

Welp... I can guarantee that the tank is painful..

[thorny smelt]

So painful TBH

[nocturne tiger]

So far this is my only great game in the E-50 fully upgraded, the only thing I like is the gun but the gun depression is what I'm struggling with here

The turret armour is really weak but the frontal armour is pretty neat that I've been able to bounce a few shots

Still the turret armour is unreliable for its tier..

[split swift]

I dont know why but after this patch i cant restore tanks,whean i try it says no viecles to restore,eaven though i have plenty,anyone else having this problem?thinking

[surreal blade]

check theserver u chose on player support

[split swift]

@surreal blade nevermind i loged out and in the game and it seams it fixed it selfe.

[surreal blade]

aah ok

[harsh whale]

How's the kanonen? I'm thinking not even worth the cheaper option

[thorny smelt]

Get the T54E2 Shark instead

[harsh whale]

got it already @thorny smelt

[violet timber]

Kanonen bad, get Skorp or SU-130

[abstract pier]

I just bought a 1500 chest and I got a badger FV217, how is this tank?

[thorny smelt]

You got the proper successor to Tortoise

[wise moth]

The gun depression is only -5 over the front, but it’s actually -8 over the sides, so if you’re having issues, rotate the hull so the gun hangs over the side to get extra gun depression

[turbid jacinth]

Hey y’all, is the Fury considered a “rare” tank?

[brave night]

It’s been sold like 3 times in the last year for $10

[turbid jacinth]

Ah ok so not rare

[kindred thorn]

marder but 100 km/h top speed

[boreal spruce]

100km is not fast enough. 110km at least!👌

[pastel moon]

is the VK 30.02 D, indien-pz. or leopard pt a the hardest to get through?

[sacred trail]

I’ll buy that one if nobody else wants it

[violet timber]

Leo PTA is the hardest

[pastel moon]

ight thank you. saving up a bunch of free xp to dumb into a painful tank so i can bypass it

[violet timber]

If you're going for the Leo 1, I'd suggest doing the light route instead, it's much easier to play

[boreal spruce]

personally, the med route (vk32, indien) teach you better skills which apply to the Leopard 1 IMO

[hard cedar]

they really don't

ru and pta are both paper tanks with good mobility and good guns, like the leo
indien and vk32 are nothing like the leo

*sp1c not pta

[tough vault]

Unacceptable

[solid gate]

why do people say stg is bad

i really like the tank

[hardy stag]

Because people don't know how to side scrape and actually use its advantages

[solid gate]

i dont sidescrape with it but i like it because its fast, it can bounce on the turret and its gun is pretty good

[hardy stag]

It's low down aswell, you can get into some super cheesy spots with it

[solid gate]

yeah

[hardy stag]

Wouldn't say it's a good medium but it is really good at being a weird blend of a td+medium, its a whacky tank

[solid gate]

and i do more damage in the stg than is-3 most of the time

i find it a good tank. mabey a bit more front armor and it would be good.

[hardy stag]

IS-3 is a chimp tank, is in normal WoT to

Youtuber says its good - all noobs play it ugg ugg

[solid gate]

i like it alot

but the front armor feels absent. i mostly bounce on my turret

[hardy stag]

STG never sat well with me personally just because rear turrets don't have gun depression and I like abusing turret armor, but when I've played it I can tell it's a really decent tank given you use your brain

[solid gate]

for me i prefer it more than the t54 mod 1. which people say its really good

[hardy stag]

Mod 1 is an absolute bully, its armor is stupid good for a t8 medium

Gun lacks but everything else about it is just utter bully mode

[solid gate]

i went in the kfpz 70 and i could not pen him even when he was infront of me cause he angled only a bit

[hardy stag]

Upper hull is like 200mm due to the slope, super good side armour and a trolly turret.. Mod. 1 is just a really good jack of all trades.. but instead of being average at everything, it's just really good at everything haha

[solid gate]

yeah lol. i only wish that the stg gets the same frontal armor then the mod 1 and then it would be perfect

[hardy stag]

Be a little bit too good then

[solid gate]

because your turret is backwards so it would make sense if the front would be a bit strong

because you need to go over hills without being able to shoot

[thorny smelt]

T-54 Mod. 1?

[hardy stag]

Yeah, the upper hull is 120mm and sloped back, just angle it the slightest bit and it's minimum 200

Dummy good armor

It's got trolly as frog armor

[winged prism]

T44 is very armoured in War thunder

[topaz moth]

war thunder is noob

[violet axle]

Should i get sheridan?

[winged prism]

Your game is FCKİNG p2w

[hardy stag]

War thunder has gotten extremely boring and the German-Russian bias is dumb

[onyx sluice]

It was a dumb concept, planes and tanks don't mix. Neither do Cold War and WW2 vehicles.

[violet axle]

No one gonna answer?

[onyx sluice]

It's a fun tank, if you like the play style go for it.
All that spaced armor makes it pretty troll too.

any tips for the Panther tier 7

[violet timber]

It’s a pseudo heavy with a pretty good gun. You can front line in certain cases and use your armor to bully other meds, as well as a few heavies

[rough wasp]

should I use the 88mm gun or the 75mm gun

[wise moth]

The long 75

[violet timber]

7.5 looooooobg boi

[rough wasp]

is it gud for long range sniping

[violet timber]

Maybe? I’ve never sniped with it since it’s relatively good at front line

[thorny smelt]

And spamming high pen shells

[thick trout]

If you want to snipe in it then get an E25, JP or SU152 with the 122 instead. You would just be wasting the armour and turret

[copper swan]

sniping and second line are 2 different matters

[rough wasp]

I get obliterated at front line, and I always get shy teammates that stay far far away

Allright Im starting to get this tank

[onyx sluice]

Am I correct in assuming the 50TP will be very similar to the IS8?

[desert current]

You arent wrong tho, the turret and the gun is very similar, I havent check the stat yet but it should be

[violet axle]

T57 or sheridan?

[spare kestrel]

if you like auto louder tank and good armour,T57 but if you want high speed and high alpha damage with paper armour, Sheridan

how to play tiger p? looking for a proper guide on how to become a unicum at tiger p

[royal willow]

dyno its hungry again

[sacred trail]

Uh, how many would you say are from the “bargain bin” more than being a reasonable premium?

[exotic fog]

I wish I could play my premium SUs more ... (teams... sigh)

[sacred trail]

To think I had TWO tries at a tier 7 and they gave me what everyone might consider bargain bin heavies and a premium SU

[exotic fog]

That's the luck of many people I think.

[sacred trail]

Heh. It’s not like I would get an Annihilator from it, but I CAN DREAM

[exotic fog]

For once I actually gambled, since it was a guaranteed tank ... got an churchill iii (owned, bought orgiinal back in the day) which became an ac sentinel

[sacred trail]

I just got it because you get four crates (one each from 5-8) for the price of two 8 crates

[exotic fog]

At this point I would not have minded a grave digger.

[sacred trail]

The fact that I invested in the TOG a few months ago got me a 45.03

[exotic fog]

I tried a VII, which turned into a IX so that was cool.
I'm afraid if I roll an VIII crate I'm going to just get something I don't like.

[sacred trail]

I rolled an VIII, and I got the IS-2Sh which people are saying is not that good

[exotic fog]

That's probably down to the player mostly, it is not a top of the tier tank, but I think it can work, just have to sidescrape probably

[sacred trail]

Same, but I already got the 13 57 which basically has the same gun so it wouldn’t matter too much. I was kinda hoping for a Smasher TBH, but that’s why RNG says no to that

At least Nightmare does it’s job well at tier 5 if you don’t encounter most heavies

The fact that it has HEAT as it’s basic round makes it slightly harder to play than the StuG

[exotic fog]

True.
I probably have half the tier VIII already ... so would that mean I get another IX?

[solid gate]

how to play tiger p/what equipment?

[sacred trail]

Depends on what ya got TBH. Besides from the IS I got today, I have the British Defender and the 168.01

[exotic fog]

how experienced are you at playing?
for equipment, I'd say the usual
Rammer, Improved modules, optics
Supercharger, enhanced armor, accelator
Vstabs

If not going for 7 pieces of equipment, start with the first 4 slots probably

[solid gate]

well im not one of those german weaboos to faps to maus but im not a legendary combat master either

[exotic fog]

I just meant tanking wise in game ... you could be 40% with 400 battles, or 50% with 5000 battles

Do you know how to hull down, sidescrape, etc?

[solid gate]

i have all 9 slots unlocked also yes i can but i need help with learning how to position on map

like where to go

[exotic fog]

So, so you should be good 🙂
Position wise, don't go solo, try to play an active role, make sure you have team mates and try to focus fire ... on many maps don't go town or village.

The rest will be up to MM, how stupid or smart your team mates are and RNG.

[kind falcon]

Find flat ground/urban area for sidescraping, but stay with your team

[exotic fog]

I probably 75% of always go hill or dunes, try to hold cover in terrain, wiggle, move about, ... 🙂

[solid gate]

at least your in na ngl, welcome to britain where i end up with spanish ass players, and platooning with other bri'ish people is the worst experience

[kind falcon]

People speak spanish all the time in NA chat too tho

[plucky summit]

It's almost like North America involves more than one country

[solid gate]

last time i platooned with a british 'person' they kept saying oi mate watch what your doing but thats besides the point lmao

ngl i wish i could platoon with you

[exotic fog]

Well, on this side of the big pond, there's a lot of people who complain about all the players that are not from the US ... might be similar ... there's a lot ignorant people complaining about people who don't have a western european name or a clan tag that indicates they're from outside the 48.

[solid gate]

people in britain have extremely fragile ego as well, i join a clan server and a mod starts an argument with me and i make him look bad then he bans for 'trolling, toxic attitude'

[exotic fog]

Best not to stress those things ... a lot of them are actually pretty competitive.

[solid gate]

my wr is 50%, 748 battles

[exotic fog]

I thought the EU server was actually pretty chill, language wise, considering it is a good size area with lots of languages

[solid gate]

it kinda is but people instantly dislike me anyway because im 13 and they think i should be playing fortnite along with the rest of the braindeads at my age

[exotic fog]

With 748 battles, time to invest in some education and strategy, as the road ahead gets longer with tougher competition ... as well as the same challenging teams ... but mistakes are easily penalized, as everybody has a bit more experience

How would anybody know you are 13 unless you're nickname is ...

o7

[sacred trail]

I tried again for a 7. I already have the 13 57 so they gave me another “bargain bin”

[exotic fog]

Yep. That's kind of my fear if I gamble with a tier VIII

[visual jolt]

Tier 8 gave me a t28 defender and the lepkz so all in all no complaints from me

[plucky summit]

It's almost like most t7 prems are "bargain bins" and the chances are not surprising

[visual jolt]

The only gambling you might do is buying a t6 crate in the hopes it drops a tank you already have so you can get to 7 or 8

[boreal spruce]

well. it would be cool if when you get the tier 9 crate and it gives you a tank that you already have, Then you get a tier 10 crate for free......... but meah. im hopeful.....

[sacred trail]

So far I got an IS-2Sh and a T25 Pilot 1 for tier 8. How bad are they if people say they’re bad?

[kindred thorn]

t25 pilot 1 is garbage i think

[sacred trail]

Is it because it doesn’t have armor, or something else?

[wise moth]

T25 pilot gets more hate than it really deserves, albeit I haven’t played it since release, but it was pretty nice in test. Good enough turret, -10 gun depression, good enough mobility, and good enough DPM; it’s a solid all-rounder medium

[boreal spruce]

and its got decent armour too

[sacred trail]

So it’s not that bad then?

[boreal spruce]

its average. a good heavium with a small calibre gun.

[wise moth]

It’s not that bad; it’s not OP, but really not a bad tank

[boreal spruce]

we complain when a premo/collector tank is OP but we never want to get an average tank...... 🤔 meah

[sacred trail]

I just got these lucky crates because you always get a tank from it

[boreal spruce]

its good ey? good that its a gauranteed reward

[wise moth]

It’s not even average, it’s better than most tier VIII meds

[boreal spruce]

it bullys me in my T26E4 at tier 8.....😭

[sacred trail]

Yep. Out of the 5 I bought I got:
-Nightmare
-TOG (I already had that)
-VK 43.01
-AMX 13 57 (Bought that offer during Bastille Day)
-IS-2Sh
-T25 Pilot 1

[wise moth]

A lot of tier VIII meds are similar, with 90mm guns, average mobility and ok turrets, but T25 pilot pretty much does that shtick the best

[boreal spruce]

noice,!

[hard cedar]

never thought id hear someone calling the pilot good

[sacred trail]

My gift cards are on fire like a Grille that got 🅱️ESH’d so that’s it for me lol

[boreal spruce]

so true, I always thought all the T25/T26 type tanks were Tier 8 for a long time.

[wise moth]

Really, the only reason Pilot gets trashed on is because all the youtubers (mostly pantouf IIRC) trashed it for no reason on release, and since it was in crates, no one had it to offer an alternate opinion

[hard cedar]

I see

[wise moth]

I mean, the thing had to get nerfed a little from test, because it was actually good

[sacred trail]

I just punted a large chunk of my gift cards away and just took what I got, but hey. It’s a bunch of guaranteed premiums

[solid gate]

You can already tell on that list that I got some real bargain bin stuff that everyone usually hates on

[solid gate]

Yea, wait what

[sacred trail]

Everyone prominent hates on the IS-2Sh and T25 Pilot 1 a lot, and VK 45.03 is too unknown to really look at. I forgot to say I also had an SU-122-44 in that bundle, but it’s nice enough for tier 7

[broken turtle]

it's a good tank wdym. 25 pilot is nice

[sacred trail]

Yeah in the few games I played with it so far I had some fun with it (although I almost got camped out on Port Bay by another Sturer Emil)

[solid gate]

I hated my Su-122-44, thanks god I sold it
I would like to drive the VK 45.03

[sacred trail]

It’s got a 5 second reload and a decent speed, putting it up with the other Tigers

[violet timber]

Fear 25.5 degrees of gun depression

[wise moth]

ooo, sprocket i c

[violet timber]

Indeed indeed

It has quickly become my favorite game

[wise moth]

It is fun; I'm waiting for them to give us different templates for turret and hull shapes personally, so that I can tanks that aren't just boxes lol

[violet timber]

Oh I'd love that

I'm enjoying making turretless tds like the one above, the only problem it has is slightly weak mobility and very low pen

[wise moth]

I made myself an STRV :)

[violet timber]

Ooooooh that's hot

[wise moth]

Turretless TD is fun, but it's all fun and games until you get tracked :(

[violet timber]

True :(, that's why you make a heavy tank with insane angles and a pretty big gun :)

[wise moth]

pffff, who needs angles when you can make a Maus :)

[violet timber]

Maus with E100 turret?

[sacred trail]

Should I ask what is the largest caliber you can mount?

[wise moth]

It's supposed to be a Maus turret, but I don't think that I can curve the cheeks; so the Panther mantlet had to do

[violet timber]

250mm iirc?

[sacred trail]

Bruh that’s even larger than the Death Star. Are they anticipating that we make SPGs with that thing?

[wise moth]

It looks a little more like a Maus turret from this angle
@sacred trail 250mm

[violet timber]

Daaaang that's pretty nice

[sacred trail]

Wait… if the largest gun can go 25 cm… GW Maus

[wise moth]

Oooo, making an SPG could be fun, but the problem is the AI is actually OP, and would probably kill me in the first 10s if I didn't have good armor lol

[sacred trail]

So they aren’t your normal bots then

[violet timber]

No the bots are vicious

[sacred trail]

So… unicum bots?

[solid gate]

Has WG nerfed the KV4 by any chance. I remember riding in with it and being almost unpennable just from wiggling a little. Now I get hit in every spot imagineable

[kindred thorn]

arguably its the worst t8 heavy so maybe

Didn’t remember seeing it in their notable balance changes from 8.3 so they might’ve done it before?

[solid gate]

Must not be having a good day because all the tanks I usually excel in are dying left n' right

either good in damage or armour but nothing's working for me. Might try a different class

[sacred trail]

I’m gonna be suffering in E75 in about 600k credits

[onyx sluice]

I would hardly call the E75 suffering. It's a great heavy, the E100 honestly feels like a step down.

[sacred trail]

So it still plays like a Tiger II?

[onyx sluice]

Pretty much? It's a side scraper.

Turret is nearly impossible to pen, just gotta hide the lower plate.

[slender cliff]

I agree, nothing better than the good old bl-10 at tier 8

[solid gate]

That too. It's like having an IS7 at tier 8 and without the bad ammorack. It's the only premium that I want other than those you see

[gloomy rune]

Well good for you, I’m suffering in my isu, 80 percent crew, stock 152 gun, the m20s I think

[drifting grove]

You didn't FXP? Well, keep at it. The Tier X gun is OP at tier VIII.

[gloomy rune]

… the tier 10 gun is the only reason why I didn’t sell my isu

[drifting grove]

Okay. Well, good luck. Hope your luck improves.

[gloomy rune]

Otherwise su152 is much better as it is a tier lower

Also which is better, t110e3 or obj268, I researched t95 already (without playing a single match in t28, rip 123k free xp). Sigh, I bet the free xp would have definitely helped me get the wonderful bl10

[drifting grove]

I don't have either, but the popular opinion is that the Obj268 is much better, and infact, one of the best Tier X TDs.

[gloomy rune]

I don’t agree, all tanks are made equal, it depends on play style

[ocean lantern]

Has anyone got any advice on easy, but good and fun lines to go up?

[amber blaze]

Is the FV201 good?

[thorny smelt]

Less armored and a bit more speedy Black Prince

[solid gate]

Keep pushing m8. The payoff is greeeeat. ISU seems to have a thing for always rolling 640 on an AP shot and unlike other high dispersion guns, at mid range (about 100-ish meters), it can flick shot to save your life in dire situations. Just make sure to give it disperson and aim time reduction in the equipment upgrades

[gloomy rune]

Hello could you tell me how to email a dev, an Asian server one, my birthday is tomorrow

[solid gate]

Even though I'm Australian, I picked Arabian (EU) servers (big mistake. It's a long story). Point being I don't really know how. I guess you could google WOTBlitz Asia to get the asian site and go to the contact us page, or the support page if there's technical problems. Don't know why you'd want to e-mail a dev though. (Please don't harass them)

Ribble stripe is community manager btw

Robbed by points. But man T11OE5 was really worth it

[thorny smelt]

Should I upgrade KV-4's turret?

[solid gate]

yes. You want the nest turret so you can get the long gun. Gives you adequate pen for your tier and your only defence in an uptier battle. KV4 struggles to pen tier9 heavies

If it's equal tier or downtier though, you're somewhat of a brick wall. Still I wouldn't waltz into the fray

@thorny smelt

[thorny smelt]

Sorry. I just bought the IS-3 and going for that famous BL-9 gun

[solid gate]

That's fine. I ought to go up that line someday. IMO the IS7 is not as bad as people make it out to be

[violet timber]

The IS-7 is absolutely brilliant

[wet prism]

Agreed,imo its one of the best heavies since the update,10secs reload and 460 alpha with unpennable turret is just love

[solid gate]

I cannot explain how many times I have been trolled by it's sides which I only found out last week, has spaced armour which makes for crazy AP bounces and HEAT absorbs. Not to mention it's probably the only tank which you can find it's back still partially red. turret is wierd too in highlighting. There's no clear drop off or gradients of red diminishing. It's a patchwork of triangles of red and grey

[onyx sluice]

Should I get the 252U or wait for the E75TS to come into the shop?

[solid gate]

252U. I have E75. It's got strong armour but operates like a Tiger II, whereas 252 is a bigger upgrade compared to stocks at its tier

[onyx sluice]

Can you slide scrape with the 252? And how problematic are those hatches on top?

[solid gate]

The hatches are nonexistant on many russian heavies and usually require your enemy to be a little above you looking top down. Sidescraping. Well. To put it simply, it's like having an IS7 at tier 8 but with a good ammorack

[thorny smelt]

It is situational especially with pike-nose hull tanks. Just don't over-angle it or your top late can be penned.

[violet timber]

Actually the top plate really can’t be penetrated due to the angle

[thorny smelt]

Probably high pen shells perhaps? I know most of us use AP unless you're okay losing LOTS of credits.

[onyx sluice]

But is it better than the E75 TS? I'm not a fan of pike noses since they can't be angled. And the DPM looks atrocious.

[solid gate]

Depends on relative angle. By hiding the bottom and left plate you expose the right plate and vice versa. Pike nosed tanks are a tad better in hulldown because they need a bit less cover. But can also hold their own front on if you wiggle ever so slightly

[gloomy rune]

I’m not a fan either, but then, to combat the pike nose problem, I reverse side scrape, it angles better, and you can surprise the enemy that tries to flank, the whole point of sidescraping is to hide the hull and expose an angled side, so reverse side-scraping is very good in most situations

[wise moth]

Actually, you can sidescrape in a 252. Even at a steep angle, the upper plate is still about ~300mm effective vs. HEAT.

With that being said, I don’t recommend sidescraping in general. It’s a stupid tactic that exposes you to enemy fire for no reason and is liable to cause you to get shot without being able to return fire.

The hatches on top aren’t too bad, but they do get penned every now and again, which is annoying

[wise moth]

^

[kindred wren]

Sidescraping is an effective baiting and/or peeking technique that minimises the danger to you and is highly recommendable for the vast majority of tanks if hulldown is impossible

[gloomy rune]

Side scraping isn’t stupid, it’s just not perfect for some tanks, other wise it does bait shots, usually ap apcr or heat, unless the opponent is smart and uses he

[kindred wren]

Also, there is no need to reverse sidescrape in the 252U

[gloomy rune]

… I meant side scrape in general for pike noses

[wise moth]

It’s extremely stupid. I laugh when I see people sidescrape against me. Half the time they’re over angled, or exposing a weak spot, and the other half of the time, I give them an HE shell for a free and unanswered 200 damage. It also makes them really easy to push too

[onyx sluice]

Some tanks have no choice other than side scrape, especially the German heavy lines.

And most Russian tanks don't have the gun depression to take advantage of many hills.

[kindred wren]

While a comedic account, this is distorting the true effectiveness of sidescraping

[gloomy rune]

The skill issue is unexplainable, but then he shells work against hull down too, especially since the he shell will splash into the upper part of the hull also

[wise moth]

The one exception to sidescraping I give is basically just for the Maus, because of the raw thickness of the sides, and the fact that the rear mounted turret gives few other options

[kindred wren]

Also, once you shot your HE it‘s easy to turn outwards to return the favour

[gloomy rune]

Your not sparing the vk 72.01k line and vk90.01p? Or Chrysler k or is2sh

[kindred wren]

IS-2Sh is a bad sidescraper

[gloomy rune]

Why?

[wise moth]

VK 72 exposes his driver’s compartment, which can be penned with normal ammo when you try to sidescrape, but VK90 I guess is fine, I just always forget that tank exists

[kindred wren]

Rounded edges, thin side armour and weak turret

[gloomy rune]

Vk45.02b doesn’t have rounded driver’s compartment

[gloomy rune]

Turret’s decent actually

[kindred wren]

Another main advantage of sidescraping is that it‘s easy to set up and easy to leave

[gloomy rune]

Technically hull down is also easy to leave and peek a booming too

[wise moth]

But his sides are thin and leave very little margin for error. It’s not difficult for the enemy to open up that angle by a degree or two, then pen you

[kindred wren]

Not by Russian heavy standards

[kindred wren]

Hulldown means that you have to drive over a ridge which is always dangerous, and peek a boo is not meant to bounce shots

[gloomy rune]

The only other viable method is peek a booming which exposes a perpendicular angle for enemy fire, which is worse if the enemies have more reflex

[wise moth]

Sidescraping might be better than sitting in the open, but that’s it. It’s basically always inferior to any sort of hull down cover, and in a lot of circumstances, it’s far superior to do a quick angled peek around a corner with your front, which is much faster and leaves the enemy scarce time to react. When you try to sidescrape, your intentions are telegraphed, and the enemy has all the time in the world to prepare, fire, and go safe

[kindred wren]

When you are spotted and enemies are aiming at you, peeking with your angled front is asking for death

[wise moth]

The answer is simple. If you have no viable hull down cover, and facing frontal enemies who are looking at you, just don’t peek that. No matter what you do, it’s asking to get shot

[gloomy rune]

But then being able to serve as a distraction for enemies since they perpetually know you are there allows your allies to use stalled time

[kindred wren]

It‘s not like you always get to choose, so the answer is too simple to be realistic

[gloomy rune]

It’s better asking to get shot and bounce it, than to not bounce a shot

[wise moth]

No, it’s pretty realistic. If you can sidescrape, then you have some sort of cover that you can hide behind. Which means you have the option to stay behind that cover and not get shot

[kindred wren]

Hulldown cover is also not the safest option compared to sidescraping, as depending on your turret armour (especially weakspots), gundepression, mobility and upper hull armour the enemy may easily damage you as well

[wise moth]

It’s better to stay behind cover and not risk losing a quarter of your HP than to risk trying to bounce a shot

[solid gate]

I don't think I can give you a qualified opinion there, seeing as the only pike nose tank I own is the T2020. It performs alright.

[kindred wren]

Which means that your team gets farmed and you die, gg

[gloomy rune]

But then hulldown requires much depression for it to be effective, and turrets usually have more weak spots, whereas sidescraping you don’t need depression

[kindred wren]

It‘s not like I go to a certain place because it doesn‘t matter whether I hold back the enemy there or not

[wise moth]

Hull down is almost always preferable. Take the Bat Chat or AMX 13 90 for example. Bother have poor gun depression, rear mounted turrets, and terrible turret armor. They’re still vastly safer playing from a hull down where they can peek quickly, or rock back and forth to present small, difficult to hit moving targets. If they sidescrape, they’re easy, slow targets that allow the enemy plenty of time to react, aim, and shoot

[kindred wren]

Also, it‘s way more likely that you bounce a shot while sidescraping than while frontally peeking, no matter how angled you are

[thorny smelt]

VK 72.01 K is just a beefed-up Lowe so it may have the same weakness as Lowe

[gloomy rune]

Also, what are we trying to get here, to prove which method of saving hit points is the best?

[solid gate]

Not nessecarily. On Naval frontier inbetween the 2 ramps up to go to Base A, there are 2 rock formations. Each has a lower platform. All you do is plant your tank there and you're good so long as the enemy team doesn't flank

[kindred wren]

What sort of example is that for a sidescraping tank

[wise moth]

If they shoot your teammates, that means they’re not looking at you, which is when you peek and shoot them

[gloomy rune]

But it’s lowe that got a big round tumor

[kindred wren]

Also, a Bat Chat is neither save while sidescraping nor while hulldowning, both are horrible strategies with the tank

[solid gate]

BC is more of a hit n run tank that works best when everyone's distracted

[kindred wren]

75% of the time there is still someone looking at you

[gloomy rune]

So it actually depends, if you are the heavy tank, side scrape and let enemies shoot you, if you are the td/med/light, peek

[thorny smelt]

The cupola on top of the turret?

[wise moth]

It’s the extreme end for the definition of a terrible hull down tank. If the worst possible tank for hulldown is better than sidescraping, and the best possible tank for hulldown is better than sidescraping, by the intermediate value theorem, hulldown is always better

[solid gate]

personally I prefer to still go hulldown. It's just the difference is that heavies CAN sidescrape when they need to. The armour that is the terrain is the best way to avoid shells because you bypass the shell hitting you in the first place. You essentially replace part of your hitbox with something that can't be hit

[kindred wren]

That‘s a calculation that doesn‘t really work out

[wise moth]

It’s not a perfect, rigorous proof, but the conclusion is still more or less true

[kindred wren]

The interim value theorem presupposes that the function is continuous, which you mustn‘t assume

[gloomy rune]

To me, if you are a heavy, don’t hulldown, sidescrape, or peek, push with your team, being the first, wiggling in front of the enemy tanks. Not only do you make it difficult for enemy tanks to shoot at your weak spot, you also serve as distraction for your allies to back you up with better firepower

[kindred wren]

So it‘s neither rigorous nor perfect, and misused

[wise moth]

It’s not always true because of that, but it’s still mostly true

[gloomy rune]

… are y’all uni graduates that major in math

[kindred wren]

The issue is that tanks that are better at sidescraping usually only boast ‚ok‘ turrets, which means that they will be ok at hulldown, so somewhere in the middle

[gloomy rune]

Essay coming up eh?

[wise moth]

The only tanks that are better at sidescraping have to meet a very rigorous set of criteria; they’re generally very tall (limiting the availability of hulldown cover), very slow (making it hard to rock back and forth/quick peek to compensate for unreliable turret armor), and have very strong sides that can be angled slightly past an autobounce.

Only a few German superheavies fall into that category

[kindred wren]

No, I would argue what you need to be better at sidescraping is a substantial weakness on top of your tanks or on your turret

[solid gate]

I mean, put yourself somewhat out there, you need to take your fair share of hits because your team has shells that can be fired too. But to some degree once that initial push happens, take it upon yourself to presevr your gun too and fire whenever someone takes their attention off you. Contradictingly, do not start by sidescraping. Based on enemy positions, you will only hide your weak points from one enemy but reveal them to another, so it's pointless. When wiggling. Ideal angle is 30 degrees relative to their line of sight

[kindred wren]

The Tortoise for example is better at sidescraping than at hulldowning

[wise moth]

Tanks that meet that criterion, like the 59 Patton, Chieftain/T95, etc… are all still vastly better at hulldown

[kindred wren]

Oh, I forgot to add, and low mobility

[kindred wren]

Those weaknesses are insubstantial (or so I argue) because they are mitigated by the good acceleration and thus trollishness

[wise moth]

Yeah… no. Tortoise might have a wide gun arc, but it’s not that wide. The lack of a turret will still get you shot to pieces while you fiddle with a sidescrape. Tortoise is best off just going around corners with its front

[onyx sluice]

So you're saying that heavy tanks should drive out in open and wiggle in front of the entire enemy?

What happens when they simply shoot your tracks?

[kindred wren]

Well yes, but it‘s worst off playing behind a hill

[wise moth]

How about the E4 then? That’s still vastly better off in a hulldown then a sidescrape

[solid gate]

Oh yeah I missed that in my response. If you are tracked... dead.exe

[wise moth]

No, because he has -10 gun depression, and can peek much faster than he could if he were in a sidescrape

[gloomy rune]

The point is to actually let your allies fire at the enemies without being fired on simultaneously. I point being don’t camp lmao

[kindred wren]

It‘s too slow to peek fast enough to not be shot to pieces

[hard cedar]

There's no point sidescraping in a tank with no side amour like the e4

[solid gate]

ANy tank with a solid turret is good for hulldown. Among which group only some can sidescrape. For example, T110E5 and IS4. Both great turrets. Only 1 can sidescrape. Meds can peek well. Lights are for hit n runs. Or trolling TD's wherever possible

[gloomy rune]

Tracks can save you sometimes

[kindred wren]

I don‘t agree, both are dangerous plays with around the same chance of you being damaged

[wise moth]

Spending 1.5-2s peeking a hulldown is still faster than 3-4s setting up and peeling a sidescrape. You’ll get shot to pieces either way, but one is still faster than the other

[gloomy rune]

The hull of e5 is rounded and useless right?

[kindred wren]

You literally need to play at an autobounce which is… curious

[hard cedar]

E4 has a drive wheel weakspot

[solid gate]

It is rounded but it is slender. If you are hulldown and do not look too far to either side. You can pop off a lot of damage.

[gloomy rune]

How long has it been since this chat boomed with messages

[kindred wren]

If you sidescrape with the Tortoise you still stand a better chance of actually bouncing something than if you go hulldown

Literally the worst thing you can do with the Tortoise is go to hilly terrain. Your cupola will be a lighthouse

[onyx sluice]

Yes, Tortoise cheeks are weak, sidescraping angles them.

[wise moth]

No, you don’t because everyone can tell you’re about to sidescrape, and will simply wait for the corner of your hull to show (which mind you is set pretty far back, and is exposed very early and very quickly), then take their fully aimed shot and pen you

[solid gate]

I find many times even that's not enough. But still better than hulldown because, cupola. AT15 is a better example of what you can do with a bit of wiggling and some troll armour. Hated it at first but became a beast later

[kindred wren]

In that case you have to bait the shot

[onyx sluice]

Yes that one is very troll.
I've bounced many gold shells that way lol.

[kindred wren]

In the Tortoise the best thing you can do is ‚frontscrape‘ aka coming around a corner almost sideways and only turning in to shoot

[kindred wren]

You cannot bait the shot while hulldown, they will just hit you because your cupola is way too large

[wise moth]

See, that’s called peeking a corner with your angled front; which is generally what I would recommend doing in most tanks as opposed to side scraping

[kindred wren]

Also, many tanks with poor gundepression but good side armour often find themselves in a situation when sidescraping better suits their needs

[solid gate]

I do that in my isu. Works somewhat ok but I usually have someone as a distraction

[wise moth]

“Baiting the shot” literally just means allowing the enemy to shoot you with no way to shoot back.

[onyx sluice]

You can also sidescrape with weak side armoured tanks in an emergency, just don't peak to take a shot and keep your side at auto bounce.

[kindred wren]

Only that in most tanks it‘s a bad idea because the gun isn‘t situated at the very front of the tank which means that you will expose your track

[gloomy rune]

The best bait shot td is at7 😛 hehe

[kindred wren]

It means to make the enemy shoot and fail to damage you (in most cases) so that you can use his reload to hit him (or one of his teammates)

[solid gate]

It's more a gamble than "letting them shoot you"

[onyx sluice]

Sometimes you cannot avoid taking a shot, you can't bounce everything no matter which technique you use. This is called trading.

Just don't trade with an enemy that does 400 damage while you do 200.

[kindred wren]

Sidescraping is also a good stopgap method as it can be set up with any cover unlike hulldown, which needs a specific slope or height of the cover

[gloomy rune]

Is7, does 460 damage to fv215b 183.
Fv215b 183: Pop a turret

[manic carbon]

Pretty much. I always avoid that upper armour, I shoot into the tracks/the gap between the tracks and upper armour plating straight into the hull

[gloomy rune]

Progetto turret with much much more armor, and like the cheeks which are grey so tiny

[gloomy rune]

As a jageroo player, I insist on hitting the upper plate, ammorack go boom

[solid gate]

Just the jag though. You don't usually get pennable upper plates, especially with German tanks. Only with my isu I found out today that Tiger II and JagT have grey uppers

[plucky summit]

It’s almost like ISU-152 has a tier 10 TD gun

[solid gate]

I just wanna say that M4A1 Revalorise fired APFSDS rounds

[valid gale]

It really didn’t

[solid gate]

OFL 105 is an APFSDS round ._.

The gun is just a shorter version of the amx 30 MBT

I'm also confused if the STBs L28A1 is an APFSDS

But I could be wrong idk

[valid gale]

It’s not first the revalorise wasn’t in service with the French and the real one the M51 super Sherman only saw combat in 1967 the six days war and the upgrades were performed within the 50s to early 60s meaning the gun predates even discarding AP rounds it’s a lower pressure design as well as signified by its muzzle brake meaning it relies on HEAT more rather than other kinetics and the shot kal delet that would later succeed the IDFS tank would use HESH more often than other ammo

[solid gate]

I'm just talking about it's shells not the whole history and it's service with he Syrian :v

[valid gale]

And I’m saying it can’t fire it anyway due to it being historically older than even the amx 30 and the only combat scenario it was in use it didn’t use any darts

[solid gate]

So you're saying Revalorise and the super Sherman are not the same?

[valid gale]

I have never said or implied that anywhere the rev is just the m51 in French colors when in reality the rev was never in French service

[solid gate]

I'm confused if the Revalorise is the super Sherman in french colors, I think I get it about the gun, it's not the same as the amx30, its just using modified ammunition from the amx

[valid gale]

The amx30 uses entirely different ammo since it’s gun is entirely different it’s like using a musket compared to a bolt rifle

Which is ironic since muskets don’t have rifling and rifles aren’t smooth

[solid gate]

'The ammunition was a modified version of that used in the 105 mm Modèle F1 gun fitted to the AMX-30 MBT, using shorter cartridges cases. These were manufactured locally under license by Israel Military Industries."

There aren't any sources of M51 Sherman's ammunitions tho sadly

[solid gate]

I'm reading there right now xD

[wise moth]

The Revalorise is the M51 super Sherman, but with French colors (it’s French in WoT/Blitz because the gun is French). The gun is the same as on the tier X Bat Chat and the AMX 13 105; which is what was further developed into the AMX 30’s gun

[solid gate]

So it mostly fires HEAT rounds rather kinetic

[valid gale]

Yes that’s what I said...

[solid gate]

I mean it's a 1950s gun
It would make sense

[kindred wren]

That being said, most guns fired HEAT shortly after the conclusion of the second WW

[solid gate]

t is unlikely the tank would be able to handle such projectiles given the modifications originally needed for the cannon to work in the first place.

I'm confused on this part, is the gun modified to handle darts or not

[kindred wren]

The gun is modified to fit in the turret, which likely rendered it unfit for shooting dart rounds (which require high pressure resilience)

[solid gate]

But anyway thanks for the replies, really make sense now

Still the tank in game fires APFSDS rounds lmaoo but hey it's a game

[wise moth]

A lot of tanks in this game fire APDS or APFSDS.
Chieftain/T95 has APFSDS, and a lot of tier X meds have APDS shells. In-game, while APDS shells are counted as APCR, they generally differ in that they have much less pen loss over distance and even higher shell velocities

[delicate spruce]

So after succumbing to the idea of guarantees through RNG (again) with another Squad of Strangers, are any of these 5 good?

[kindred wren]

All very specific tanks

Not necessarily bad, but also not great, it mostly depends on what you make of them

[sacred trail]

Specific?

As in, some skill is still required to do good and it’s not just tilted towards being broken or unusable?

[kindred wren]

No, specific as in you need to play a special playstyle

The most standard tank out of the set is the FV201 as a hulldown dpm heavy with mediocre armour

T28 Concept requires strong angling and preferable urban fighting with lots of cover

AMX Defender requires good positioning and smart flanking/ peeking

It‘s not a matter of skill or no skill, it‘s a matter if you understand the tank and play it to its strengths or not

I cannot really talk about the Churchill III because it‘s toer five and I don‘t really play that tier

[plucky summit]

Churchill III < Churchill I

[kindred wren]

The FV201 (A45) is specific because it‘s relatively bad but has some redeeming qualities which you must abuse to do well

[plucky summit]

It needs your positioning and marksmanship to plug in the high RoF and DPM, but your armor or sandbags are not options to fall back on

Your best bet is to bully mediums and stay hulldown

one thing is looking at team lineups, if enemy has 2 meds and you have no support (case 1): you can take a more passive position at medium side, reverse into a bush with your rear, to set up for fast getaway after spotting enemy meds.

Alternatively you can follow your heavies but take rear position and spot incoming enemy meds for them

If You are the only med in the game (Case 2): you can go med flank and carefully approach enemy rear to snipe at enemies (if there are targets) or pressurizing them from the rear. Do be careful in case they direct their attention to attack you

Other than that if you follow you medium wolfpack, take a more passive approach and support other tanks. Never take up a brawl with another tank unless they have really low enough HP that you are comfortable with

Just a few simple tips, others should add on too :) @sacred karma

[sacred karma]

Thank you comrade 😁

[sacred trail]

Wait it has sandbag provisions? What else does it have? The same loadout as the Black Prince onward?

[plucky summit]

It doesn’t, that’s my point

[sacred trail]

So rely on hulldown and fast reload to hunt meds first and stay second line?

[mighty tinsel]

What do you guys think about the Tiger 1 and 704?

[onyx sluice]

Tiger 1 is a medium tank pretending to be a heavy.

704 is quite good.

[nocturne tiger]

tiger 1 is pog

[mighty badge]

I only play British Tanks so I couldn't tell how good they are, but at least the Tiger seems like a really hard opponent.

[solid gate]

how do i play the tiger 2? it’s fully upgraded and everyone says its so good but i can’t play it at all

[amber blaze]

Push with other heavies and use the armour wisely

[solid gate]

that’s pretty much what i’m already doing

[amber blaze]

For me I will try to position my tiger in hull down scenarios or side scraping scenarios as the lower plating of the tiger 2 is very weak

[tame parrot]

Is Pudel decent compared to other T6 meds or should i just sell it?

[nocturne tiger]

Don't sell it

[gloomy rune]

Depends on playstyle, it’s weight is decent for pushing without getting rammed too much. And the mantlet is decent, so hulldown is fine, however the cupola big also, then sides, back and the frontal plate have no armor, your likely to be he’d by derps easier because of your large size

The only thing I find decent with pudel is it’s healthpool

[tame parrot]

@gloomy rune thanks for the answer😄

[gloomy rune]

Np, wait, so are you going to sell it?

[charred dragon]

which is better patton or is 7?

[surreal blade]

ones a medium , ones a heavy

[charred dragon]

which one worth buying

[surreal blade]

is7 gonna be rly good after 8.3 buff

i havent played m48 patton but is7 was my first tier x .i really love it .alpha+speed and mobility

[charred dragon]

so IS worth it?

or patton

[manic carbon]

Both do different things but they are both worth it.
Probably more so the IS-7 after 8.3

[half raft]

Anyone know how many defender tanks there are in total?

[thorny smelt]

I think 4 at the moment

[half raft]

If so I have all 4 then, AMX Defender, T28 Defender, Defender Mk. 1, and IS-3 Defender

[thorny smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/congratulations-congrats-celebrate-cheer-confetti-gif-8326903

[hard cedar]

The y5 tanks are technically defenders as well

[real plover]

And I have all of em :heh:

I don’t have any actual defender tanks though. When they all go on sale ima buy them all

[sacred karma]

I hate the Leo pt a's depression limit

[hard cedar]

Who doesn't

[spark roost]

Guys does a tier 8 premium tank give u more credits thank a tier 7 premium tank?

[plucky summit]

It depends what tank, but in general, yes, since you can perform better

[spark roost]

So u saying a tier 8 premium tank gives u more credits than a tier 7 premium tank?

Also does is-5 give u a good amount of credits?

[plucky summit]

Yes

[half raft]

They're on sale rn in the shop

For either $49.99 or 25,000 gold for all 4, but I didn't buy all 4 since I had the amx defender and the t28 defender

[hard cedar]

It gives gold comp if you buy with usd iirc

[real plover]

Yay Defender tanks really are on sale. Time to buy all of them heheh

[delicate zinc]

what tech tree premiums r worth it rn?
or is5 that also is cheaper with event
su 122 44 looks interestingish?

[kindred wren]

SU-122-44 isn‘t great. Poor armour and poor accuracy make it a troublesome tank to play

[delicate zinc]

is anything worth it or just save for black friday or something

[grand linden]

def mk1 is def worth it lmao

[delicate zinc]

is is5 for 1.3k worth it?

[grand linden]

tbh youre better off with the is3 but when it comes to making money the is5 is good enough the tank isnt gonna be pulling 5ks every other game but it gets the job done and creds made

[delicate zinc]

so i should buy it?

[grand linden]

id get the 252 if you have more gold but if youre f2p and dont have another 6 months of gold ads to get something better then yes

[delicate zinc]

ok thanks

hm is fv201 worth it?
3k gold for everything

[grand linden]

the tech tree black price is just better

[thorny smelt]

I'd say no. It is a bit faster but less armored than Black Prince.

[delicate zinc]

hmm ok
ill just grind the bp

[thorny smelt]

It is just like a beef-ed up Centurion

[violet timber]

Black Prince is literally a Churchill, but Britain said "Yes, but what if it was bigger?"

[plucky summit]

And actually good

[grand linden]

bp: exists
wg: buff buff buff

[strange thicket]

Wait for black Friday

[delicate zinc]

might have bought it already ._.
1.3k gold for it is not bad

[chilly egret]

Hi, i played game years ago and now im going to play again for long run. Any heavy tank suggestion ? Going to start from 0

[violet timber]

IS-7 is always a good starter line

[chilly egret]

Thank yok

İ played churchill side if i remember correct but it was like 4-5 year ago. İdk how good is it now

[neat nimbus]

Which defender if worth buying

[plucky summit]

Only The Cent, really
Defender Mk. 1

[slender cliff]

E-100 line. the line is really easy to play

[amber blaze]

I'm currently on the grind for E100

[slender cliff]

What tank are you grinding?

[amber blaze]

E75

[slender cliff]

Nice

[clear karma]

Churchill are still rubbish.

[buoyant ermine]

Same

[charred dragon]

hey which better to upgrade t 34/76 or panzer 4 g

i can upgrade only one

[amber blaze]

It's up to you

[manic carbon]

Really depends where you want to go

[cinder warren]

Crusader or Churchill I ?

[manic carbon]

I’d say Crusader as it opens up several lines for you to pursue. If you are a newer player, I’d recommend going to the British lights out of the three lines you can go down.

The British Heavies aren’t in that good of a spot right now. Black Prince is probably the highlight of that line at this point

[untold spire]

Would you guys agree that ARL 44 is overpowered at rank VI? Its my all around favourite tank till now, I make the most wins playing that. Bonus Pic: ARL 44 in real life, just as beautiful!

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/40/ARL-44_at_Mourmelon_le_Grand.JPG

[thorny smelt]

This is also what stock ARL44 looks like in WOT PC. Not the barn turret in Blitz.

[onyx sluice]

I don't think I will call it overpowered, strong sure but not OP.

[red briar]

where i can find some one for platoon!?

[spiral helm]

#platoon-search

[real plover]

I don’t care what anybody says, I’m getting those defender tanks

[blissful hamlet]

The ARL barn turret is the same as the FCM F1 turret.

In the game it's called ACL 1, which is actually the name of the prototype turret, which is very similar to the final turret.

[final adder]

gib elc bis 90mm gun ._.

plz Wg

or event tank xd

[thorny smelt]

WT called it ACL 1. FCM F1 is their super heavy with that barn turret. I find it weird why they use that on ARL 44 instead of what it is in real life without the turret guards or tracks or whatever it is called.

@final adder AMX ELC bis with 90 mm gun?

[blissful hamlet]

In pc elc bis haves a 90mm

[thorny smelt]

Yup. With the smaller guns, the turret is can fully traverse. Only when 90 mm gun is installed and the turret cannot traverse that much.

[final adder]

Yes. And to be fair the tank was designed to house and use the 90mm gun, so it only really makes sense. Because the 90mm was the lowest caliber gun that ment post war criteria, due to the 75mm being inadequate.

[solid gate]

any tips for Amx AC mle. 46 (stock)

[livid rover]

don't play it stock 🙂

[solid gate]

I dont have free xp in moment so i have to

[livid rover]

for the first few battles against t6 u can kinda use your gun dep to kinda bounce some shells but the hatches are kinda annoying. Mobility is kinda good even when stock and it has like 7 reload or something. WATCH OUT FOR KV-2s and smashers tho cuz I'm pretty sure the hatches might be pennable and the tank only has 970 hitpoints. You can kind of bully some meds tho but not the fast ones @solid gate.

[uneven dragon]

I got my 4th Ace on my 215b. But I don’t see a octopus X camo. What’s going on?

[solid gate]

I looked at the armor.kv2 and smasher cannot pen it with he in front

[livid rover]

k

[livid rover]

pretty sure you have to get 4 new aces after the update with the x camo

[solid gate]

ARL REAL??

[bright sentinel]

Should I grind E 50? 🤔
