Once someone gets a hang of TDs, they wi deff love grille. F2p players get a good playtime in lower tiers to train themselves

[empty helm]

Kv-1s is the best "medium" tank in tier 6
Change my mind

[lyric copper]

kirovets-1, aka the prototype turret, which belonged to a tank that WG turned into the WZ-112-2

@limpid ether Kirov*

[limpid ether]

Ahh yess, the kirovets reporting.

Shame they gave that name to the stock turret, would rather have the actual top turret be named Kirovets 2

[lyric copper]

The Pdr part stands for the weight of the shell.

This comes from naval gunnery, from which tank guns were originally from. And QF means Quick Fire

So, here’s some guns and what their calibers are:

17-Pdr QF mounted on tanks like the Firefly are 76.2mm guns

20-Pdr QF mounted on tanks like the Centurion 1 are 84mm guns

32-Pdr QF mounted on the Tortoise is a 94mm gun

This is only some, so I’ve added a Wikipedia article on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_standard_ordnance_weights_and_measurements

[solid gate]

@lyric copper hmm nice thanks

[lyric copper]

it’s only around the 1960s that they finally break this tradition and use a different system to name guns

The L7 105mm gun is a great example of this

[solid gate]

i see .

[cursive flame]

How do i play T-62A

[strange thicket]

Hull down
Shoot
Wiggle

[empty helm]

Sometime I want WG to add a cupola on is-7

[prisma halo]

It has one

[empty helm]

It's so damn small
And armored

[dim pollen]

IS 7 is so smooth lmao

[empty helm]

Making credit out of selling tier 1 tanks is nice
You buy it for free and the game give you 100 cred for selling it

[balmy compass]

Probably the reason why there is a daily sell limit

[empty helm]

Yea

[violet timber]

Nah, it’s just in case your account gets hacked. Then the hacker can’t sell all of your tanks. If you really wanted credits, buying and selling tier 1s is probably the least efficient way to get them

[empty helm]

So if we sell 7 tier 1 tanks each 24h
100 * 7 = 700 (credits)
And if we keep doing it in 1 month
We will get
700 * 31 = 21 700 (credits)
And in one year
21 700*12 = 260 400

Failed nerd moment
😭

[violet timber]

I’m pretty sure the sell limit is 5, not 7

[past fractal]

I guess if you wanna buy a tier 4 or two in one year that works

[empty helm]

oh

[prisma halo]

Tier ones don’t sell for credits? I’m guessing it’s the consumables your selling

[balmy compass]

That does make more sense

[empty helm]

100 * 5 = 500 (credits per day)
500 * 31 = 15 500 (credits per month)
15 500 * 12 = 186 000 (credits per year)
🤓 🤓 🤓

[violet timber]

Yes, you get free consumables when you buy a tier 1, meaning you can actually make a profit

[balmy compass]

I can make that much in 1 game with my IS-6💀

[prisma halo]

I made 2x that in one game

[empty helm]

Just an additional credit thing that you can earn after 1 year

[prisma halo]

HE and highroll

[empty helm]

HE shell exists

[balmy compass]

HE moment

Dont shoot the yellow part or the gun

[prisma halo]

You need to pen the HE which has less penetration

[past fractal]

-You could’ve set him on fire and he didnt extinguish it early

-You could’ve damaged someone earlier on and that extra damage just added up to ur overall dmg

[violet timber]

Usually at the back of tanks

[past fractal]

In some cases you can shoot HE the sides of some weaker armored tanks, but usually its the rears, with some exceptions

[prisma halo]

Shoot HE when guaranteed pen or if enemy low HP

[balmy compass]

I have a somewhat informative wall of text here on HE @solid gate

Minor damage, less then standard shell damage

[prisma halo]

Basically HE will damage most tank even if it doesn’t pen

[past fractal]

When shooting HE, you can detrack enemies with it becuz of its high module damage, but dont shoot tracks or spaced armor if you want ur HE to penetrate

Weirdly enough I just found out it seems like high explosive (hesh shell in this case) seems to work like HEAT shells in WoT PC since it can pen the tracks

[balmy compass]

Not sure

[empty helm]

Man we need this fv4005 as a prem

[violet timber]

Don’t use HE to detrack, just use AP

[past fractal]

I should’ve specified, I meant for tanks with high HE caliber that wants to detrack and still do some damage with HE, but cant pen with AP

[prisma halo]

Depends if you have time to aim or not

[empty helm]

Can e4 and e3 sidescrap

[prisma halo]

Kind of but only the back part because front track wheel is a pen

[empty helm]

:(

[candid arch]

Can the D-2-5T gun on the KV-3, KV-4, IS, and IS-3 have some kind of catch, like higher alphas or better accuracy, so its not just the exact same gun as the D-25T with slower reload and worse pen

And yes, I do understand its a tier 7 gun vs a tier 8 gun

[wintry orchid]

Tldr:Yes it got changed some updates ago, so now HE behaves like AP and you can’t splash any more.

(Splashing means it looks for the thinnest armour in the splash radius (specific for each shell) and gets handled as if it hit there. In PC your shell will be treated as if it hit exactly where it hit the tank and doesn’t splash any more. So if you shoot under a tank with HE in PC you won’t do damage, but in Blitz you would do quite a large amount for a splash)

Also HEAT in Blitz can’t pen tracks and boxes as well

[brave juniper]

It still splashes just not as much, the current HE round with the biggest splash radius is the Sheridan's

[wintry orchid]

I thought it didn’t splash at all

[brave juniper]

Click on ur ammo then the info icon over HE

[wintry orchid]

I don’t have pc installed and I’m on mobile atm

[brave juniper]

U can pretty much still do that in mobile

[wintry orchid]

Well it’s very different in PC that’s the point

[brave juniper]

It isn't wym 🤔, just 2 screen taps

[wintry orchid]

You can’t splash with HE in WOT PC any more since the last update or the one before. The guy up there used armour inspector for PC to get a more detailed model and noticed that

[brave juniper]

Oh, my bad, i thought u meant just blitz not WOT/WOTB since you weren't specifying i was confused a bit

[wintry orchid]

I was but only in my first message sry

[brave juniper]

Well idk about HE rounds in WOT 🤔 but regular HE from artillery just splashed less than before

[wintry orchid]

And tank HE doesn’t splash at all afaik

[brave juniper]

Now i wonder, who in their sane minds though that was a great idea, considering WOT has some semblance of realism making HE just another round of AP with less pen and high alpha seems pretty dumb, much more so when going against low HP tanks u can't finish with whatever other rounds you're carrying

[wintry orchid]

Well you can but the thing is if you shoot a Maus ufp your shell will have to deal with 300 effective instead of splashing and maybe using the lower plate.
But yes it’s kinda dumb. Especially because according to wg 80ish % of the playerbase would like it

As I tried to explain the splashing thing is where the shell looks for the thinnest armour in the splash radius and penned there but now on PC it doesn’t do that and tries to pen where it hits so if there’s a lot of armour like on a front plate you’ll do a lot less damage

[brave juniper]

80% of the kids with 2 months playing I presume, yes

[wintry orchid]

Or 80% someone told to vote yes

[brave juniper]

🦵 🤔 🦵

[wintry orchid]

Since 🦵is the new F

Big 🦵

I started PC the update before the HE change and when it dropped I uninstalled

[brave juniper]

Maybe, that said splashing isn't like that, the shell fragments over where it initially hits, then it goes in all possible directions within the limited splash radius seen in the info tab for shells and hits anything within range, spreading the damage based on armor thickness and random calculations idk about, it only ever so fully penetrates when it's a direct hit through a spot it can pen, when it's the fragments going through they will only do a part of the damage they would've if it were to be a penetrating shot

[kind flicker]

does the m41 bulldog have a ledgendary camo?

[wintry orchid]

No

[wintry orchid]

That’s irl but wot made it easier for the game afaik to get the mechanic I described

[brave juniper]

Yeah, apparently they did explain it in this video, 11:20 or so https://youtu.be/14syiO-soLs

Although i still can't find the supposed video about HE they mention when talking about how armor penetration works

[wintry orchid]

Imma watch it tomorrow it’s 12 am soon

[empty widget]

I'm torn between the Tier 8 German Vk. 100.01 and the Vk. 40. Any suggestions?

[brave juniper]

Look at the t10s of each line, pick one then go to ur desired t8

[shell robin]

I'm having trouble picking a line to grind. In short, I want a line that's worth it. In long, I want a line with terrible tier 5-9, but a good tier 10. Much like the STB-1 line that I already completed.

[balmy compass]

E 50 M

[shell robin]

Any others?

[balmy compass]

dunno, I would suggest VK 72 but the 60TP clearly does nearly everything the VK 72 can do but better

[strange thicket]

why should it have a terrible 5-9?

[shell robin]

A bad set of 5-9 but a good 10 will feel like I really earned it.

It's partly the reason I avoided the IS-7. Why grind it if the 1S is just as good tier for tier?

[strange thicket]

lmao that is incredibly stupid
1S is not even CLOSE to the performance of an IS-7 tier to tier
in fact none of the tanks in the line are as good tier for tier

[shell robin]

You still get the idea though right?

[strange thicket]

yeah i understand where you are coming from.
well it depends, does the tier 10 has to be meta? is it ok if the tier 10 is skill demanding and not exactly competitive?
there is not a lot of lines with terrible predecessors in the specific tier you mentioned
you could go for the patton but i heard the pershing is pretty good on the line

[shell robin]

To answer your two question, first one is no, second is yes. I understand it's a tall order, but I just felt like having a true grind will truly give me a reason to come back to the game.

[strange thicket]

you could just enjoy the tier 10s for their uniqueness or difficulty to play
there is leo 1, progetto, batchat, 121, fv4202
especially fv4202 since the tanks before it aren't exactly good besides the 7/1

[scarlet kernel]

Man, they haven't added the kpz 50t on the tankopedia i wanna read it.
I also can't wait for the jap ht

[shell robin]

I thought the comet and cromwell were considered decent Also, which way to get the leo 1 would you say is tougher?

[scarlet kernel]

Go for SP1C if you're bad at lt or vk 30.02D, then indien pz

[shell robin]

Well I'm not good at either mediums or lights, so I guess the VK 30 then?

[balmy compass]

Most people take the Leo 1 line by the Ru-251, the VK 30.01 is average, although I didn’t grind down the like that way

[strange thicket]

light tanks are way tougher

and require different thinking to the mediums
the mediums are just the average boring 90mm medium
light tanks require good decision making and use of mobility which you will benefit from more in leo 1

[strange thicket]

cromwell is decent
comet is meh
it is really the tiers that they are in that are unbalanced and have a lot of powerful tanks so the challenge is fun to make a pea shooter work in them.
and cent 1 is outright trash so yeah

[scarlet kernel]

Well, if you truly want to be a masochist go for SP1C since there is more module to grind that you can't unlock in another tank

I don't think you can get "90 mm mecar" And "90 mm mecar mit mehrladeeinrichtung" Anywhere else?

[balmy compass]

Pretty sure all the modules for SP 1 C are only for SP 1 C

[shell robin]

Perhaps I'll grind leo 1 after type 71.

[tulip knot]

Go to blitzhangar.com
It has very in depth of all the tanks and even some upcoming ones

If you can master sp 1 c then it’s basically op

[scarlet kernel]

Ik but they don't have description of the tanks aka historical reference in blitzhangar aswell

You can check it out, they have a special desc for some tanks

[tulip knot]

Blitzhangar has a desc for most tanks at the bottom of the page

Not yet for the 50t

[scarlet kernel]

Yea and both doesn't have yet

[hollow belfry]

Doubt you'll find any historical reference for the Type 71 besides "My source is that I made it up"

[timid wharf]

believe me, it isn't. the pershing that is. its trash until you get every module. and only then is it mediocre. it still struggles with a weak cupola (cant compete with HT) and bad mobility and DPM (cant compete with medium/light tanks). The turret armour is only reliable against low pen guns (t7 td pen goes through edges of mantle). it's own low pen means that even t9 medium tanks can very reliably bounce you. the t9 is just a pershing without the armour, so utter garbage, leo pta armour, but none of the benefits (dpm, mobility ect). the m48 patton on the other hand is amazing. decent mobility, good dpm, amazing turret armour. the real highlight is the hull armour, the upper hull is very troll because its curved, the side hull is also curved (like a boat) and allows for amazing side scraping. the lower plate is also angled similar to a t110e5 which means that you can bait people into shooting it at steep angles and they will bounce.

[blissful osprey]

This message ignores the:

The Pershing's 2.6k dpm, the best in its class

Some of the best on-the-move accuracy for both tanks.

The M46 having the 3rd best DPM among Tier IX MTs

[umbral hamlet]

m46 has no armor, bad mobility for a t9mt, very poor penetration

Pershing has only the dpm, the turret is too fragile even against some standard rounds

[wise moth]

*breathes in*

bruh...

M26 is easily one of, if not the best tier 8 med in the game. It literally has no weaknesses. The mobility is good enough, you get -10 gun depression with a good turret, best in class DPM, best in class gun handling, and best in class APCR pen. What else do you want?

Also, who cares about the "cupola" on the M26. It's difficult to hit anyway considering that M26 can snap off shots without issue, it doesn't need to sit still and tank shells with it

[wise moth]

Armor inspector is lying to you. For some reason, both blitzhangar and armor inspector say that there is 0mm of armor behind the mantlet on M26, but in reality it's more like ~100mm or so. I've tested it a few times in TRs, and you need ~300mm of pen to contest the mantlet

[umbral hamlet]

oh ok, didn't know that

[wise moth]

Also, why in the heck would you sidescrape in an M48. Even though the side armor is decent, there is no angle that allows you to fire without getting shot first. Moreover, you shouldn't be sidescraping in general in most tanks, let alone mediums. Especially in mediums. You only have 350 alpha and low HP, so you can't trade, and you're needlessly exposing yourself to fire

[signal slate]

Is it just me or is the fv4202 tracks is just so weak? I get shot on the side and i get tracked 50% of the time

[nimble topaz]

its not a newbie friendly tank 🙂

[signal slate]

Ik, just tracks feels too fragile compared to other mediums i play

[outer sand]

i have researched the su100, any tips to the tank so when i finally bought it i would know what should i do now when having the su100

[limpid ether]

Get the 122 and play it like a medium tank.

[strange thicket]

What? Bro the Pershing was buffed a couple of patches ago

[misty wing]

ngl I think it would be rather interesting if they made it much harder to damage modules/crew, but they can't be repaired once they are
so basically, tanks would generally lose effectiveness in proportion to their HP as they will start to take module damage once they've received a few hits

I can see this being a direction the game might realistically head in because WG seems keen on pushing super consumables, as removing repair kits would leave only supers left

[hollow gazelle]

This sounds like fun until the first shot hits your amorack at the start of the match now u have half your dpm the entire game

[empty helm]

M60 lockbox key is gone and idk why

[limpid ether]

And higher chance for ammorack.

Or you get tracked in the open.

Or someone shoots your gun And now you have to suffer the accuracy of the kv2 but without the Russian guided shell system.

Or your engine gets shot and now you have the speed of a TOG 2 before its mobility buff

Maybe he was referring to making the damage repair like War Thunder where you need to go to a capture point(both in encounter and supremacy) and you can fully repair tanks there

[icy wadi]

about this... I do think that the cupola of type 61 should have decreased size... Because it's just too big as the tank has no armour on it's turret overall

the only possible thing that can bounce is the mauntlet upper and lower part

[merry current]

ur not supposed to play it hull down and sit in front of everyone, it has a very good gun for a t9 with good mobility

[icy wadi]

The mobility isn't as good as everyone thinks it is

[limpid ether]

That thing has no armor anywhere so I guess it's fair enough.

Or since the cupola is used by the commander, then it should have better spotting range and less aim time thanks to commander/gunner having a good view around the tank thanks to the large cupola.
Plus that cupola has a range finder in it so it's aim time should be decreased to exactly 1 seconds because it's easier to see targets

[icy wadi]

It's a tank made for sniping, but the copula can be just hit at any distance

[merry current]

Learn to play without armor then

[icy wadi]

I can play without armour but the cupola is just annoying

[strange thicket]

least it gets gun depression unlike the pta

[icy wadi]

if u play hulldown u show ur cupola before u can even shot the enemy

[merry current]

then stop peeking ppl who are aiming at u

[icy wadi]

How am i supposed to do that when there are no other targets

The cupola just needs the size decrease....

[merry current]

get unspotted? stop being in 1v1s?

[strange thicket]

fight from unexpected or unattended angles
you are not a lone wolf tank you need to play around with your teammates

[icy wadi]

As the tank is made for peeking/ snap shooting and u can't just peek without being 100% sure nobody will pen u

[limpid ether]

I think a good buff for the Type 61 is to give it a better aim time like the wz 121.

Exactly 1 second or 1.2 seconds aim time without any equipment should be possible and good for the type 61 since its got a rangefinder.

Basically, either buff view range and aim time, or remove the cupola and rangefinder but stats saty kinda the same.

[icy wadi]

dude, then go change the matchmaking and that how battles go

[rigid thunder]

the type 61 is already a great tank, no need for any changes

[icy wadi]

The aimtime is already amazing, same with dispersion and accuracy

[merry current]

ofc not, but u can minimize that chance based on ur gameplay and awareness
just be better kek

[rigid thunder]

you get an amazing gun, workable speed and good gun depression. What more do you want?

[icy wadi]

are u trying to say that im not aware, when i already know how to use the tank

[merry current]

need armor so I can sit hull down and take no dmg hrrrdrrr

[strange thicket]

i don't need to change the matchmaking because i am playing the same game as you and even on the same server lmao

[limpid ether]

Well then, if we would remove that rangefinder cupola, your tank would be left with no rangefinders, decreasing the aim time, but accuracy stays the same since the gun is still the same

[icy wadi]

i just want the cupola to be smaller by atleast the half of it's size. Nothing else

[merry current]

Don't wanna stat shame but numbers don't lie 💀

[limpid ether]

But we would have no space for the rangefinder which is needed for the gun if you want good aiming time.

[rigid thunder]

the cupola honestly isn't a huge problem, and when peeking over ridgelines it kinda helps with spotting. The tank needs so little exposure to get shots off that the cupola usually isn't nailed 24/7

[icy wadi]

it's not nailed as long as ur peeking from a left side( ur tank is hidden behind a hill from the right side)

[rigid thunder]

u can just expose it tbh, ur turret is pretty yikes anyways

[icy wadi]

otherwise it's a pain

[icy wadi]

the turret of the tank itself is fair enough, it matches the leo 1 playstyle

[strange thicket]

proceeds to stat shame

[icy wadi]

but when ur tryna snapshot and a good player in a td is waiting u can even get heshed in it no matter how much u wiggle or try to bait it

[merry current]

stop peeking ppl who are aimed at u
Either look for someone else, or go unspotted and wait til they look elsewhere

[icy wadi]

oh my god, u just say "don't do this or that" like
IT WOULD BE THAT EASY

[strange thicket]

that is why you always reposition and attack around your teammates
it effectively plays the same as a leo 1
they don't even need to shoot your cupola they can just smash through your turret

[icy wadi]

i do all of these mentioned things, i know the game mechanics. There are just some things u can't avoid unless u have god rng

[strange thicket]

it is not hard, map awareness and team awareness is key
and you clearly don't. you just need to get better

[icy wadi]

avoid a non-spotted td that was on the other side of the map and appears 100 m infront of u

[misty wing]

Imagine complaining about a cupola on a tank that already has no armor 💀

[icy wadi]

To make it a tank that can peek safely.

[strange thicket]

skill issue at this point, why are you trying to spot. you are supposed to be playing AROUND your TEAM
your team peeks, you don't
or you peekaboo
be creative with how you peek
even if you make the cupola smaller they can just go through THE ENTIRETY OF YOUR TURRET

[misty wing]

The only way to "peek safely" is to do it when the enemy isn't looking at you with a shell loaded, regardless of whether it had a cupola

[icy wadi]

By that i mainly meant playing hulldown and when ur tryna snapshot when the enemy is aiming at u.

It's like u could bait them on the cupola but it's just too big for that

[misty wing]

That's not how you're supposed to play the tank, you shouldn't be trying to bounce or bait shots in the first place

[strange thicket]

the enemy can literally just smash through your entire turret. what will having a smaller cupola change 💀

[misty wing]

I literally hate it so much when people ask for cupola removals/reductions because even though this game isn't historically accurate, I believe that vehicle models are the one thing that must maintain accuracy

If you remove the cupola, it flat out isn't the type 61 anymore

[viscid fulcrum]

i can agree with that

[kindred wren]

Aside from historical accuracy, cupolas are part of the fun. I wouldn‘t want a generic smooth turret tank

[icy wadi]

Baiting is actually giving the advantage to be able to put an shell in the enemy when the player is loading

[misty wing]

This tbh, cupola-less tanks look bald

[icy wadi]

I don't want the cupola completely removed.

[misty wing]

Bro do you even have slowmode

[icy wadi]

I do lol

[strange thicket]

bro talking about baiting, baiting what? your entire turret is a weak spot
what will having a smaller cupola suddenly change?
you think enemies aim for your cupola while they can just butter your turret even thought most of the gun mantlet?

[icy wadi]

also let me answer for all the things people said-
1.- i do know how to play the tank
It bases on sniping and it's accuracy. Eventually playing hulldown
2.- i want the cupola to be smaller cuz in current state it makes playing hulldown way harder
3.- if u play the type u already need to have map awareness but there are just things u can't avoid

[icy wadi]

baiting for a miss. Not a bounce

[misty wing]

Do that with your track wheel or frontal hull then, not the cupola

[icy wadi]

yea the frontal plate can be baited a lot on when u angle it

[strange thicket]

you are not supposed to hulldown in the tank -_-

[merry current]

I will say he can play the tank better than most ppl
So if ur not good just stop with the obvious comments lol

[icy wadi]

when i show only the turret im sure i won't get heshed in the side, that's the point of playing the hulldown

[strange thicket]

kek okay

[icy wadi]

leo was one of my first tier 10s so i cba about the stats on it

[merry current]

Lmao career stats
He does 2.1k in type 61 that's pretty decent

[strange thicket]

those are my stats lmao
i am not checking his stats, i don't care about them

[merry current]

ok 2.7k wn8 on Leo is pretty garbage 💀

[strange thicket]

uh huh

[merry current]

Leo is a ez wn8 farmer if ur not at least 3.5k wn8 it's not good

[misty wing]

Above 2k on any tank is pretty decent really

[rigid thunder]

if 2.1k avg at tier 9 can be considered decent, idk how those leo stats aren't

[icy wadi]

How's that decent, i saw people who do 2.5+ on it

[rigid thunder]

they certainly aren't good, but not below the level of averaging 2k in a tier 9...

[strange thicket]

i don't own the type 61 but it plays similarly to leo 1
so i think i have got a good idea of what i am saying

[icy wadi]

Get one then and try playing it like a leo

[merry current]

decent as in much better than the average joe
Compared to higher level players yea 2.1 isn't great, 2.5 is more in line with t9s, and a dpm med more 2.7

[icy wadi]

U will see that the cupola is a big problem

[strange thicket]

you even stated yourself it plays like one before
the cupola isn't that much of a biggie when the turret is weak in its entirety
i don't understand how making it smaller will change anything

[icy wadi]

well type is a dpm med

[rigid thunder]

the cupola honestly isn't a problem, coming from a person who plays both the 61 and 30b a lot. Baiting shots with a tumour that humongous sounds impossible, but you'd be surprised how much moving back and forth can do to an average wotb player

[icy wadi]

let's say ur peeking from a small cover covering only ur hull, and ur sideways to the enemy. Then u show way more of the pennable part

[merry current]

I mean most players in the server can barely 2k t10s so my expectations are pretty low 😫

[rigid thunder]

Giving the 61 a smaller cupola whilst it retains the amazing gun is kinda making it a little busted imo

[limpid ether]

Said cupola also holds the range finder that the gun needs for accurate fire so good luck shooting enemies when all your gunner/commander can use to aim the gun is his eyesight instead

[icy wadi]

i do 2.5 on t10s :/

[strange thicket]

your expectations are pretty high
apparently 2.7 career is bad
2.9 90days is also bad because it is not super uni stats 💀

[icy wadi]

Rerolls can do 3.4+ on type 61 lul

[strange thicket]

yeah because noob matchmaking

[misty wing]

The only thing Type 61 needs is HD graphics 😔

[rigid thunder]

this is world of tanks, real things like that don't matter

[merry current]

But anyways, ur cupola doesn't matter cuz u shouldnt be peeking into ppl aiming at u
And because of this playstyle it doesn't matter how big the cupola is, u should be peeking when u don't get shot

[misty wing]

Looks dope af on PC

[icy wadi]

it actually looks nice already. The model of it is hella old cuz the tank is dark and barely any camo fits on it

[misty wing]

The HD model brings the mantlet cover tarp thing, which I personally really like

[icy wadi]

it has weird patterns of camo usage

[rigid thunder]

the canvas cover... I need it

[blissful hamlet]

<@&481447501690568709>

[icy wadi]

Scam <@&481447501690568709>

[scarlet kernel]

It kinda matters in some cases
If you reduce the weight of a tank ingame it will change the power to weight ratio

So if type 61 cupola is removed or the rangefinder i guess, WG would probably increase the aim time

[empty helm]

Hell yea real!!!! 1111

[rigid thunder]

what I'm saying is, they don't care about stuff like that

[blissful hamlet]

You don't really need a cupola to have rangefinders

[icy wadi]

well, wg doesn't care about tanks like sta-1 or type 61 cuz they know the tanks are "trash" (these actually aren't)
And so that makes people get prems :/

[misty wing]

They just don't really care about tier 8 or 9 tech tree meds in general

[limpid ether]

Yes but you would have to make the turret bigger to fit that new rangefinder in your turret.

Unless you plan on making someone go outside the tank and do the range finding front there

[icy wadi]

yea they only care about tier 10, 6, and eventually 7

[merry current]

type 61 also is cracked, it's just not the braindead hull down playstyle stb is so most players do terrible
And stock grind is oof

[rigid thunder]

quite a number of mts within those tiers have received buffs/nerfs tho, from what I remember

[icy wadi]

type requires huge carefulness

[blissful hamlet]

Not really, use an rangefinder that fits outside ur turret, but being able to use it inside ur turret

[icy wadi]

it indeed is an amazing tank,
That's why im planning onto reaching diamond league only with the type. I wanna practice my awareness

[strange thicket]

the only tt med worth mentioning now is the pershing really, the rest are just ehh
light tanks also have more spotlight with the ltwt and 301

[limpid ether]

So a periscope rangefinder?

You know what, maybe that could work.

[blissful hamlet]

Basically yeah
Just look at the modern tanks

[limpid ether]

Hmm, the modern tanks nowadays use laser rangefinding.

The other big gadgets that you see on the roof could be the thermal vision and other systems needed for the gun

[rigid thunder]

tbh you do have the centurions, which received a very much needed top speed buff. The T54E1 could also be counted in with a similar buff, and the panther 2 received a significant armour increase that made its armour actually worth something

[scarlet kernel]

Unfortunately t54e1 got a top speed nerf in 9.0

[cobalt kestrel]

what if you guys make hungarian tanks?

[strange thicket]

centurion mk1 is pretty bad imo
7/1 is amazing
i forgot to specify tier 8 in my message.
panther 2 is still really meh.
for tier 9, you have the vickers, t54, 7/1, type 61, 120(the gun depression buff made it infinitely more flexible)
this is just off the top of my head. tier 9 is much more well balanced than tier 8
tier 8 meds are a tragedy

[rigid thunder]

I would say the mk1 used to be a big piece of garbage, but the top speed buff made it much better. 40 is absolutely disgusting, 45 is barely serviceable.

[strange thicket]

yeah but i really hate the alpha and the turret n dpm is nothing special really
it is very big and squishy with a pea shooter
301 just does it way better

[rigid thunder]

british light tanks are all devilspawns and comparing most tanks to them make said tanks look terrible

[limpid ether]

As someone who played the Vickers line, yes they are truly devilspawns

[merry current]

good thing I finished the 4202 grind before the vick line came out
Completely outclasses the 4202 line besides the t10

[strange thicket]

not really, the t9 light doesn't even play closely to the 7/1. 7/1 and 4202 are discrete and distinct from the light tanks
especially the tier 10 with the mobility buff

[strange thicket]

yeah but the thing is even disregarding the 301, cent 1 is just really bad in comparison to the rest of the tier
i think if it got an alpha buff and a bit of turret armor it will be fine
or if they gave it a hesh specialty like the rest of the line and kept the mobility.
i absolutely hated the cent 1 like no other tank ngl 😂 so maybe i am a bit biased against it.

[solid gate]

im close to comet.. and gonna save for centuriom my god that research tree.

[empty helm]

I wish e4 could do this

[empty helm]

Guys how do I get the gun out

[strange thicket]

change from the modules view

if you wanna check out the armor press on armor

[plucky summit]

Lol Renault Otsu acting like a broken TS-5

[strange thicket]

looked like an e3 for a moment

[balmy compass]

But it is a E3, TS-5 is alot longer

[wise halo]

Out of curiosity, if we were to compare X Japanese TD to WZ113GFT, does the Latter have any advantages over the japanese one?

[limpid ether]

640 alpha.

Troll armor.

Other than that idk

[strange thicket]

i guess slightly better armor? and higher alpha
both tanks got very unreliable armor

[merry current]

Hori has better pen, better dpm
wz has better alpha, consumables
both have decent mobility, armor that works until 2 key
imo 268 is a better wz, so why bother with wz

[wise halo]

Japanese one has huge armor with a tiny front plater while GFT has entire lower plate autopenned, doesnt it?

Alpha is true though, yeah

[strange thicket]

Hori's armor doesn't even work before 2 key
unless it is slightly angled
also hori is way faster

[wise halo]

^thanks

[strange thicket]

while wz gets better acceleration it has got way less top speed
Ho-RI actually relocates better and got a superior gun besides the alpha

[strange thicket]

the armor is 250 flat
everything that is not a medium will probably go through without loading prammo

and if you are running cs on mediums n lights you can go through without loading prammo
unless it is slightly raised up enough(the hori i mean)

[kind flicker]

the way i see the ho ri typ3 is a bigger and better Ferdinand

[strange thicket]

oh
well
that is not really far off i guess 😂
least it isn't as slow as the ferd

[violet timber]

It’s p/w still sucks though

[strange thicket]

ok

[violet timber]

Yikes, 11.1 on medium

[strange thicket]

still pretty decently mobile
it is not really too slow

[timid wharf]

Because you can, bad players will shoot your side armour and then you get free shot?. Good players won’t shoot so you never expose you weak lower plate. Easy and a effective

[timid wharf]

Didn’t know this, when I played it, it was garbage. Had no idea it got buffed

[vast sedge]

i like playing the kv4 and generally have good games with it. how does the kv5 compare (to the kv4 stack up in general to tier 8s)?

basically, is it worth it if i already have the kv4

[merry current]

no kv5 is terrible and only for memes

[vast sedge]

in what way

[sour crown]

Try to think of every way you know

All of them

[vast sedge]

ok lol

[plucky summit]

KV-5 is actually pretty braindead rn

Now, I understand that you can't really use the armor profile, because it's only a matter of if people have the pen or not (or if they pressed 2), but the armor will troll lots of people when you play frantically

[violet timber]

KV-5 has a better gun, better mobility (By a bit), and around the same armor as the KV-4. They are still both bad tanks though

[plucky summit]

KV-5 should be the more rounded alternative to VK 168.01 P as a gravity rammer

[violet timber]

It's a meme tank

[plucky summit]

Had a Chrysler K think he was the stuff until he got 1600 HP rammed off of em 💀

[violet timber]

It's actually terrifying in gravity, more of an annoyance in other modes

[plucky summit]

KV-5 is made to bully those who didn't realize it got buffed =>

[lyric copper]

learn to bait?

[icy wadi]

already know how to

[red atlas]

I’ve been playing the conqueror for a while now and I think if your gaming can give it better turn armor and better upper plate armor and maybe just a little bit of sight on and it could be a really really good tank post opinions down below

[plucky summit]

T-t-turn armor? 😰

[boreal spruce]

🔄 turn armour ofc

[balmy compass]

Titan 54d moment

[scarlet kernel]

T32 is so boring to play that it suck

[plucky summit]

Is also OP, though

[scarlet kernel]

Sometimes i wonder why my maus, T95, etc doesn't bounce many shots
Till i realise decent to good players don't waste shell when all they see is red

[plucky summit]

Or they press 2 and no longer see the red ._.

[scarlet kernel]

Yea

[balmy compass]

Only in WG showcases

[violet timber]

Maybe you’re playing too passively or you aren’t baiting properly

[scarlet kernel]

Nah, im just poking fun at those who complained the maus or badger need an armor buff cause they don't "bounce alot"

(T95 is justified tho)

[balmy compass]

Everyone just shoots the 2 cupolas and the lower plate on the T95, if they don’t see those they don’t shoot

Only place you can easily get alot of bounces is realistic mode

[nimble topaz]

the new titan 54 seems good 😱 ... is it better than ltwt?????

[fast breach]

No

[brave juniper]

Nope 2 different roles and 2 diff tanks

[thorny smelt]

Is it based on T-54 somehow?

[brave juniper]

It is, but the turret is different from both the t54 in the tech tree and lwt, hull too ofc

[nimble topaz]

👍

[tulip knot]

t-54 ltwt is godlike

[misty wing]

meh

[hard dome]

Could've used a shorter reload but it's fine

[lyric copper]

nah, you play as the terror of all tier 7s

whilst outtrading a large chunk of tier 8s

[solid gate]

Vehicle discussion?

[empty helm]

Is this the monopoly train

[weak sparrow]

is the 45tp good

[acoustic galleon]

No.

[nimble thicket]

holy

[hollow notch]

Nice

Be sure to use double food+dpm gun+ rammer

[shy hound]

Watch stream by HisRoyalFatness on it, it’s not better but he said the extra armor consumable is nice

[shy hound]

Nah it’s still meta

[nimble topaz]

super pain... however its successor , 53tp is op for its tier... its an HT but has the speed of an mt and has decent armor and good gun

[balmy compass]

Why use the small food tho? It barely does anything

[tulip harness]

its a useless tank.

[nimble topaz]

ez pen on front :/

@balmy compass food usually speeds up reload time therefore increasing DPM i think

[balmy compass]

By less then 50

[solid gate]

Please nerf Ferdinand TD it is very op in current meta

[shy hound]

Are u stupid

[balmy compass]

Who even plays Fernie over Jagpanther II

[shy hound]

The Ferdinand is not even as good as Jpanther 2

@solid gate is just a troll guys don’t listen to him

[solid gate]

Panther M10 needs nerf @shy hound

[balmy compass]

😂

[shy hound]

No it’s trash

And this is why I hate to argue with braindead people

[solid gate]

@balmy compass what is your opinion of O-47

[balmy compass]

Its a good tank, slightly underrated and looks cool

[shy hound]

It’s meh, personally I don’t like the look at all

[solid gate]

Yeah I like it, gun could be a bit better though

The vehicle that really needs to be nerfed is the Tog II, it is way faster than it should be.
*satire

is the comet is like a real used tank? or just like black prince only a test bed for the centurions?

[rigid thunder]

it was actually used, more specifically in early 1945 (so it didn't actually see a whole lot of action)

[solid gate]

decent tank , still a fighter

[solid gate]

i thought its the centurion mk1?? i know they used the centurion mk1

[scarlet kernel]

If you're going for full no protective kit, small food is better than green fuel

[rigid thunder]

the mk1 was put into service, but it arrived too late in time for ww2. Later variants did see service in many more conflicts to come though

[lyric copper]

most well known was the Korean War

which wasn’t that long after WW2

many latecomers to WW2 saw action there

[rigid thunder]

yeah, honourable mention to that particular period of time is the M26 pershing

[hollow notch]

It's more useful than anything else that you would use instead

[hallow depot]

xd

[hollow notch]

It needs its armor and speed nerfed back to what it used to be, but the hp pool needs to be buffed to 2k.
(Not satire)

[solid gate]

i see they used the comet and its a really nice tank sadly only least action saw and the 77mm gun is just far better than the 17 pounder and uses smaller hybrid shells , 77mm is a 76.4mm weird.

hmm and love the model scales of it . haha

[rigid thunder]

for a tank so boxy, it does look pretty damn hot

[solid gate]

mhm yes they really design a new tank since the 17pounder is too big for the cromwell

[balmy compass]

I honestly prefer the protective kit over tiny boosts in crew

[oblique salmon]

Hello, I want to know which tank to buy, The Su-100, Kv-1S, T-34-85 or Mt-25?

[solid gate]

YES! (Unironically support this)

[solid gate]

Depends how you like to play, I would go with KV-1s if you want a big gun heavy

[ivory ocean]

depends on your playstyle

[oblique salmon]

Mmmmmmmmm

So I buy all of them

[ivory ocean]

lmfao
well the kv1s is a really good allround tank
minus a bit of armour

[oblique salmon]

Less than the KV-2?

[ivory ocean]

not much tho
plus i havent played the kv 2 tho
but i played the kv1s
its a fun tank

[oblique salmon]

Okay

[teal juniper]

@grand cliff when will the new AMX 50 B and fv4005 change comeout like in what update

[violet timber]

9.1, there was no need to ping Alexandra for that

[teal juniper]

oh right sry i just needed to know if i have time to still use the old AMX 50 B

or like get it in time

[hollow notch]

If you have double repair kits, protective kit isn't really any help at all.

[balmy compass]

Seems like its more of a preference thing then

[solid gate]

why some tanks have these leather cover on their mantlet its always there or of not in the turrets sides, what is it for and i always thought the amor is that leather thingy and its a weakspot

[nimble topaz]

4.5k dmg on obj 84 but no ace hmmm

[nimble topaz]

spaced armor maybe

[violet timber]

I believe, and this is just speculation, that the cover is there to prevent dirt and dust from building up in the mantlet

[kind flicker]

the leather was used to stop bullets and some shrapnel from going threw the small gaps beside the gun and turret as these tanks did have the best gun mantlets but behind the leather is just normal armour

[hollow notch]

It's to keep dust out of the aiming mechanisms of the gun. That's it's only purpose

[balmy compass]

Looks kinda cool on some tanks tbh

[solid gate]

hmm that also a possible

@nimble topaz spaced armor?? haha naah..

@kind flicker oh really? so its some kind of armor then? are they really made in leather?, or kevlar?

@hollow notch i see hmm

[kind flicker]

its was usualy leather and not there for a dirrect hit but to catch a ricochet of the bullet or shrapnel as leather used then was crude leather but still very strong

[nimble topaz]

lol

[violet timber]

Searched it up. It’s for dust, rocks, rain, anything that could cause harm to the internal mechanism

[solid gate]

ahh i see , well that solves my problems haha
@kind flicker so in theory they can pen the manlet

[kind flicker]

yes

[brave juniper]

Oh it is; Preventing ammo racks for instance,fires, and dead crew members, without it 50% of shots somehow always kill or damage some crew members, and with the increased HP for modules from the equipment selection it's even less % for an ammo rack, leaving u with a yellow rack thanks to the equipment setup

[kind flicker]

english server, please dont use russian
английский сервер, пожалуйста, не используйте русский

[hollow notch]

Very few tanks do enough module damage to destroy ammo in 1 hit
Its gonna be yellow either way

[brave juniper]

Either way it's better to have it to prevent receiving damage to your rack than carrying a yellow rack with 30s reload because u ran out of kits and got shot at rack three times, which has happened to me in some heavies and tds

[hollow notch]

If you take that much module damage, you are bleeding hp wayyy top fast.
If you take enough damage to burn 2 repair kits and then decide to make the same mistake yet again before you even get the repair kits back, you are playing horribly and just throwing away hp

[brave juniper]

U dont need to be penned to receive damage to the rack though , what I've mentioned as an example was me going hulldown and receiving my fair deal of HE shots by some skilled players which luckily for them damaged my rack repeatedly, and over 1:30s which is the cooldown time for kits, a lot of stuff happens, it isn't uncommon to use 2 kits in an engagement with heavies, and Frontline tds, for the casual tds, and fast moving tanks it isn't a regular occurrence I admit but I play the former pretty often

[mystic sleet]

Am I the only one thinking that UK should get a second heavy tank tech tree line?

[violet timber]

What would it be? They really only developed enough heavy tanks for one line

[lyric copper]

^

[kindred wren]

Yes

[violet timber]

I'd love more British heavies, but they really went all in on the infantry tank design, and then the Conqueror design after the war

[mystic sleet]

They can a) make up something (just like they made up Fv215b), b) take an earlier Chieftain variant (mk. 1-5) and put that or c) take the MBT-80 nad put that with somewhat nerfed stats ofc

[kindred wren]

That‘s all tier nine or ten

[violet timber]

MBT-80 was meant to replace the Chieftain, so that's not coming. Earlier chieftain designs might work if they all weren't rather similar to the Mk. 6

[mystic sleet]

They can still make something up or just slap a MBT-80 as a slower and a bit more innacurrate Chieftain

[kindred wren]

I mean, it‘s not like WG never made up a whole line but there is much else to go through before that is really necessary

[violet timber]

They have no designs to make tanks up from.

[valid gale]

Mbt 80 was a hybrid of chally 1 specs most notable it used explosive welding for its armor which was pretty dam expensive

[mystic sleet]

Weegee, quick, take notes! If you decide to make the mbt-80 a thing, you could make a brand fairly expensive new super consumable

[violet timber]

Alright, I've done me some research, and a line may be workable, but you'll have to bear with me a bit.

Tier 5: TOG 300G - Basically a bigger, more armored Matilda

Tier 6: A38 Valiant - In real life, it was more of a valiant effort, but it'll work in game.

Tier 7: Heavy Valiant - Not a direct predecessor to the Valiant, but it looked close enough. It's basically a Valiant with about double the armor on the front, and 50% more on the sides.

Tier 8: Chieftain/T95 but with a 105mm gun - I know that the tank only ever was planned to have a 90mm or 120mm, but a 105mm was sure possible. Also, I couldn't find anything else to fit here.

Tier 9: Chieftain/T95 but with a 120mm gun - Maybe with some upgraded armor as well.

Tier 10: Vickers MBT? - Honestly, putting in a Mk. 3 but with improved armor would make the most sense to me. It would round out this line quite nicely as well, making it a more mobile heavy line while the other one would have better armor

[lyric copper]

if anything we're more likely to see a third russian HT line

[plucky summit]

A three hundred gram TOG? :p

[violet timber]

All of these tanks except the C/T95 with a 105 have some historical backing to them

[kind flicker]

isnt strv 103 line comming tho

[lyric copper]

gl balancing the autobounce angles

[wintry orchid]

Isn’t the valiant like really slow

[violet timber]

If 300 grams is equal to around 38 tons, then yes

[violet timber]

Yeah, the tanks up to tier 7 would be slow, then you'd get more mobile tanks at tier 8

[wintry orchid]

Isn’t it a light in pc that can only go like 25

[violet timber]

It's a classified as a med

[wintry orchid]

Ok i can’t remember those things apparently

[mystic sleet]

Great job

@kind flicker I'd like to see wg explaining why STB doesn't have hidropneumatic suspension (if the strv in the game has it ofc) even though it had irl

[violet timber]

The only stretch in the line is the tier 10, since the actual Vickers MBT Mk.3 only had about 80mm frontally

[lyric copper]

hydropneumatic suspension would be hard to implement as it needs hella working not to break some older device

[mystic sleet]

And that.

[valid gale]

Originally it was due to primitive suspension physics but now it’s probably due to just balance the Strv would be a nightmare to balance and develop

[lyric copper]

yeah, when anyone with a 120mm or under cant pen...

[wintry orchid]

Or without heat you can’t

[lyric copper]

because funni screen

the sweedes really did think of everything

[hollow belfry]

That doesn't seem bad at all tbf, well done!

[violet timber]

Thank you

[olive junco]

the tiger 2 feels slower did they change it?

[balmy compass]

Feels fast to me

[olive junco]

yeah it was pretty fast but now it feels a little slower

So now I’m wondering if its me or did they change it

[kind flicker]

finaly only 15k away from my bulldog

[dim pollen]

Wow. I just left playing in the chaffee bcoz it's just ... unplayable. Sigh

[kind flicker]

worst light tank in the game hands down

[dim pollen]

I wanna fxp tht shit but I'm an f2p player. So...RIP to me🥲

[kind flicker]

im also f2p lol

ive just bin using 3 adds a day for my fxp

[dim pollen]

Aah I see. I play on my laptop hence no Ads

[kind flicker]

ouch oh well

[dim pollen]

Sheesh.... I'm gonna be stuck forever with chaffee 🥲

[kind flicker]

good luck man you really will need it

[hollow notch]

Uhhhh
If you don't like the tier 6, you won't be able to use any of the higher tier american lights well either

[dim pollen]

Lol I'm good in playing tier 8 ru 251. Talk abt tier 6 MT 25. Yes I'm good in that too.

Chaffee is just bad. Period

[hollow notch]

It's a tier 6 (so you are seal clubbing anyway)
It's just barely slower than its light tank peers. That hardly makes it bad

[dim pollen]

The chaffee' s reload time feels a little bit longer than what light tanks should have. Same is with AMX ELC bis. Yep it is slower and sluggish if u play with faster light tanks. Hit and escape just doesn't work well with tht. Not even peek and boom

[scarlet kernel]

Type 68 have better pen than type 71 apparently

[violet timber]

Yeah, it's weird

@royal axle IS-7 is currently better

[dim pollen]

IS 7 line is enjoyable and the end tank is good too

[scarlet kernel]

Do both and just pray

[strange thicket]

why pray? nothing will pen

don't side scrape the front becomes weak
always directly face your enemies

nothing particularly plays like the IS-7 in the line
KV-1S, trade with your enemies and use mobility. it doesn't have much usable armor so peekaboo or try hull downing i guess.
IS got some armor, you could try hull down or side scraping
and hide the lower plate but with enough pen enemies will easily nullify the profile.
IS-3, alright gun. mobility is alright although the top speed cap is annoying. hull down, that is the only usable strat for this one.
IS-8, no armor to rely on whatsoever. you can try to hull down to get some troll bounces but that is it.
you should use your mobility and gun and go with your mediums. you are basically a tier 10 medium classified as a tier 9 heavy.

[dim pollen]

Sidescrape, hull down, hide ur pike nose, turret has almost no cupola. Smooth af. Bounces shots. Side skirts strong.

Use its maneuverability

[strange thicket]

don't side scrape in any of those tanks except the IS and to a little extent the 1S(got weak armor anyway) 🤦

[dim pollen]

Ehh. Since the sideskirts are strong. It pulls off well.

IS is a strong tank. Idk why u feel it's weak lol

[strange thicket]

which IS?
IS can sidescrape because it has no pike
any IS clone(is-3,is-8,is-5,is-7...etc) with a pike nose is bad at side scraping excluding the 252u
unless you wanna remain stationary all the battle since once you pull back to shoot half of your entire front is a weak spot

[dim pollen]

What abt reverse sidescrape?

[brave juniper]

Can be done, isn't easy to pull off though, tanks like 113 don't have very thick sides for instance and the back part at the very edges is angled so they can even pen u when angled, a lot of the corners are visible

[dim pollen]

Yep thts true

[fast compass]

Is7 can sidescrape. You just have to be careful who your sidescraping against and how flat your pike nose will get as you do it. Shouldn't be your go to tactic but it can work.

[strange thicket]

so it can't side scrape?
you are supposed to hide the lower plate while side scraping
in order to do that you angle > pike nose weak
you angle less > lower plate exposed
you don't peak to avoid getting shot in the front > can't take shots

[strange thicket]

with the traverse and time of battles? it takes a lot of time to set up and is not easy to pull off
it is not worth it to go for it in a fast game like blitz where most engagements don't justify the hassle of setting it up

[strange thicket]

highlighted part is a pike nose
it is already at angle as you can see
when you try to side scrape and angle your front and show your sides at an angle it causes the pike nose to lose its angle and become flatter. which makes its effective armor less.
as you can see in the 2nd and 3rd image the pike became weaker.

looking directly at your enemies.
hiding the lowerplate behind obstacles if you can
hull downing or just using your gun depression generally also increases your pikes effectiveness and turret effectiveness

knowledgeable enemies will know of your turret's weak spot(armor highlight doesn't show it)
it is quite small but accurate guns can nail it consistently

you can use your gun depression to mitigate it a bit
also wiggle a bit
but most people don't know of it.

mostly yes
no hill? just look at your enemy directly and use obstacles like cars n stuff
you can also pretty aggressively with the gun and armor combo
you can also face hug enemies(don't yolo and do this, only 1v1s or isolated enemies) but again, knowledgeable enemies will go through the turret's weak spot

[umbral hamlet]

6

[strange thicket]

6 degrees, you will not be able to work steep hills but you can work a lot of hills.
pick your position based on that.
and no not ramming, face hugging. in a sense you ram the enemy at the start but the point is to force your enemy to be looking at your turret and make them panic

don't go for a face hug if it is unnecessary, if you are fighting an enemy and have a hill to use. use it.
if you get caught off guard or are forced into a fight with no hills then face hug.

[blissful osprey]

"B-b-but I say it's bad"

Also, the Chaffee has the best DPM out of any VI LT in the game save for the T37, which tie with it.

[nimble topaz]

Hey guys is this correct?

IS4 < E100 < IS7 < 60TP < TYPE71

[trail orchid]

I dunno what everyone else thinks but if and when they bring our a new tank I reckon wargaming should just be up front and put a price of 40,000 or 50,000 gold rather than this whole playing the lottery of buying crates ,crates is the worst aspect of this game imo

[strange thicket]

IS7=60TP>IS4>E100
we have yet to see how the type 71 will actually do

[kindred wren]

Poor E 100 😦

[strange thicket]

well, i am an E 100 fan honestly. but we would be lying if we said it is better than an IS4

[kindred wren]

Let me put it this way, E 100 is great if you just want to chill a bit. It‘s a low frustration tank, but not a great tank for sweating

[strange thicket]

totally agree
and i like how its HP is more involved with its gameplay than it normally is with other thanks.

[kindred wren]

Yes

[strange thicket]

very good tier 7

then it was a bad tiger 1 player

[quartz shard]

Sup

Just a tiny suggestion, can u guys make it a little bit easier to get gold,like not 5 ads 0er day but 10 or smh?

I started playing the game since I was 3 years old but it is really frustrating to get super expensive tanks but only with 50 gold per day

Oh, sorry wrong channel but pls consider it

There are no Japanese heavies for me please help

I cant see any update and I am confused pls help

[outer sand]

are u on google play or app store

[glossy heart]

i couldve got 7 if not some aholes stealing kills

[nimble topaz]

So blurred... I cant do something... I cant shoot properly

Top pic has ultra low graphics

Bottom pic has low graphics

[kindred wren]

Turn off dynamic resolution

[outer sand]

idk if my provisions suck

• zurek
• improved gear oil
• protective kit
  should i replace one of them? tank is 60tp

[quartz shard]

App Store, iPad Air 3

[acoustic galleon]

Why are you using protective kit? Use improved fuel or gun powder.

[violet timber]

Protective kit is great on 60

[cursive flame]

Is7 keeps on getting power creeped

[balmy compass]

🤨

[cursive flame]

But no one is noticing its speed, armor, and firepower

Its quick as a medium, enough armor to handle most of the guns, and quick enough reload, i would say its the best front line tank in my opinion, cuz i feel like the other heavies are too slow

But its now over shadowed by new better tanks

[hollow notch]

tank spammed in tournaments

This tank is getting power creeped

[strange thicket]

tell me a tank that overshadows the is7

[kind flicker]

60tp maybe

[plucky summit]

60TP is more purposed and less versatile

[kind flicker]

true more of a frontline brawler only

[strange thicket]

Type 71 actually has ridiculous hull armor
especially the lower plate, have to load prammo to pen it and the thing has decent traverse

[kind flicker]

on blitz hanger it dosent show the japan heavys other than the 71 but you can still look at the other heavys

[brave juniper]

Me using the T9 type 68 with 340 heat buttering through the front plate:

[strange thicket]

on flat ground yeah
oh i should have specified against mediums mb

going for track shots doesn't work either 💀
i guess i have to study the profile on inspector

[brave juniper]

Well if your shot goes to the side when they're turning it's likely that it's gonna hit the side at angle where it auto-ricochets or u just can't pen, the t10s side is much weaker than the t9s though, while having a stronger front so side shots are something more common with it(for me)

[kind flicker]

lower plate is 100mm thick but at its angle its aprox 256mm

[strange thicket]

i have tried to shoot its trackwheels multiple times in my fv4202 and it just doesn't want to work 💀
i mean this is just ridiculous.
side shots are fine yeah
front is annoying to deal with in a med
especially since it can angle so much without worrying about the tracks too

this is the armor behind the track wheel btw

at that point you just go for the side but typically you would go for the track wheel to cod or make it stop wiggling

[kind flicker]

yeah extra armour beside track wheel

[strange thicket]

even when you try to avoid the skirt

[hollow notch]

Really stupid balancing
The yoh has similar annoyances where what normally would be the smart play (removing tracks and doing damage) is punished

[kind flicker]

like using the 6-7 degrees of gun dep its unpenable other can cupola

[plucky summit]

The lower turret cheeks are an option for non-meds

Course, I wouldn't gamble, though

[kind flicker]

true

still tho nerf the armour a bit
its just to strong head on

[strange thicket]

after i saw that thing zooming with the mobility equipment 😟
damn

[neon stratus]

Mitsu 108 is one hell of a tank

[feral spade]

Need new tank

🔥X-Sturmtiger🔥

Sturmtiger-Damage 1000ap 1450he
Piercing 269ap 190he, very small speed shell, reload time 25sec

Sturmtiger-HitPoint 2000
armor 180 100 60

🔥Sturmtiger-speed 30, weight 68t🔥

👍

[balmy compass]

I think WG said they wouldn’t add the Sturmtiger to the game

Instead you can find it in a couple of maps hiding as a easter egg

[feral spade]

🔥IX-Brummbar🔥

Brummbar-damage 700ap 1000he
Piercing 210ap 160he very slow speed Shell, reload time 15second

Brummbar-Hitpoint 1600

🔥Brummbar-speed 35 weight 48t🔥

VIII-Ferdinand

[balmy compass]

So you like big derp guns

[feral spade]

))))

[feral spade]

I like oneshoot

[empty helm]

Hmmm the new 380mm is too op let's change it to 152mm like what we did to the vindicator
-WG

[violet timber]

You’re joking, right?

[valid gale]

Seeing as he never responded to the other responses he’s not

[lyric copper]

brummbar would be tier 6 at best lol

[edgy rock]

Um, so i have a question

Ive opened so many titan-54d lockboxes at this point that not only did i get the is-3 defender, but now i have another certificate for the is-3 defender

What happens if i try to use the second certificate while the tank is already in my garage?

(Also still no titan-54d ;-;)

[balmy compass]

you get credits for compensation

[edgy rock]

Aw man, not even gold? Just credits?

[balmy compass]

if it were a collector it would be gold

[low lagoon]

is T-43-3 any good?

[glad matrix]

New jap heavy of t5 is the worst tank i ever play in this game. No pen no mobility no armor and no depression. I hope WG will buff it soon. This tank is a real sh it

[plucky summit]

LOL skill issue fr

[balmy compass]

no armor? 💀

[glad matrix]

no

[plucky summit]

Have you maxed its modules? That may be the case of your problem

[mystic sleet]

Try playing the Churchill mk. 1. You've got an okay gun, with okay armour and that's it.

[glad matrix]

At least WG should increase gun depression to a correct value of 8 or 10. With 5 degree even on very low slopes you are not able to aim.

Without that its unplayable. In game some players told me to hide and hope that team win to obtain some exp to grind to t6.

[steady flume]

Why can't we have the 183 on the 4005?

[balmy compass]

super mobile tank that slaps you for 1.3k damage

[dreamy rain]

idk, not really, it's just a funny tank

[misty wing]

you really just replied to something from 4 years ago 💀

[fleet berry]

Sifaka#6737 has been warned.

[dreamy rain]

ah, yes

[misty wing]

did the type 71 get nerfed into oblivion upon release? It's pretty much worse than or same as the E5 in every way now outside of the super equipment that it gets.

• only 6 degrees of gun depression
• slightly worse pen
• even worse turret traverse (many people complained about that on the E5)
• same dpm
• worse effective p/w
• worse accuracy

it only really has more hitpoints and arguably slightly better armor now?

[plucky summit]

Dang it’s almost like it wasn’t super OP to begin with 😳

[misty wing]

I never thought it was, just wondering because the stats look kinda abysmal
I do like both the type and the E5 though

[plucky summit]

I mean it gets 9 degrees when you equip it

[misty wing]

it's also a huge tank, and has the turret style that sticks really far out the back

[neon stratus]

I love the mitsu 108. It's a lot of fun to play, and quite easy to master. I've only had it for a couple of hours and I've completely maxed it out and I'm working on getting the tier 6 Japanese tank

[dreamy rain]

The T8 is nice too

[neon stratus]

I wonder if getting the t10 is worth the grind?

[fast compass]

They wanted to put a new gimmick. The extra gun depression or ridiculous p/w ratio as a equipment.

[dreamy rain]

idk, maybe it have nice ram, no ?

[neon stratus]

And I just reacted to something from 4 years ago

[chrome spear]

opinions on t57 heavy?

[violet timber]

Good damage farmer

[merry current]

very good "heavy"

[sweet whale]

Ju-Nu is good but 💀 team. Btw for some reason all my teammates got a like (including me and yes the dudes who did 0 dmg)? Probably some enemy who was just happy he got a free win

[tepid geyser]

I mean, there's probably some way that you can do more than 1,121 damage too...

[cursive flame]

Stock round is7 can pen that

I use to remember that the is7 had an alpha of 500

[outer lantern]

Can u still get the octopus skin for free by acing?

[violet timber]

99% sure it's always had 460

[cursive flame]

Oh ok

[violet timber]

Nope, unfortunately

[cursive flame]

The new 71 is as fast as is7

[outer lantern]

Damn I really grinded 3 aces for nothing

[cursive flame]

I have 13

[outer lantern]

I got three in one day

[cursive flame]

Bro that is lucky

71 is fast

[balmy compass]

Well it is a MBT

[cursive flame]

Its has fast reload what WT

My is7 has 10.62 reload

71 base reload is 10.55

[cursive flame]

And this turret

[scarlet kernel]

If you think that's crazy 113 base reload, with 75% crew is 9.41 second

[cursive flame]

That is fast

With out gun rammer and the other things to buff crew its 12.16 seconds

Equipment, provisions, and crew training really effects the tank

[scarlet kernel]

Actually i haven't really thought about this

Wz-113 reload with both food, gun rammer, adrenaline, and both max level rage and adrenaline rush crew skill. If all is activated 113 could reload in 5.19 seconds

[cursive flame]

Things really effects the tank

[scarlet kernel]

It really does

[cursive flame]

Ap and apcr didn't get any higher?

[cursive flame]

Is7 shells

[cursive flame]

Stats say ap has 460 damage but why here is 575??

[violet timber]

IS-7 also has 60 more alpha than the 71

[cursive flame]

Yeah but 71 has faster reload with provisions, equipment, and crew training

It has more heat pen

[scarlet kernel]

400 is avg damage

[cursive flame]

Looking at the stats apcr is quite a bit useless

[cursive flame]

Ohh so i can reach 500

Ok now o remember why i was able to reach 500 in one shot

[scarlet kernel]

The max DPM on the SU-122-54, ofc it's only for one reload but it's amazing lmao

[hollow notch]

So it's not dpm

[cursive flame]

What app is that?

[hollow notch]

Blitzhangar.com

[scarlet kernel]

Yea

[balmy compass]

Thats a micro pixel of a weakspot

[cursive flame]

Yes but grille can

[hollow notch]

In a face hug, sure
Otherwise nope

[cursive flame]

I got pen by a grille when i was doing this once

And i hit his gun with HE

[opaque flicker]

How it should've happened

How it somehow happened

[cursive flame]

Hmm next tank stabilizer

[balmy compass]

I found out today with the new aim system its pretty easy to hit this spot if the IS-7 decides to facehug

[cursive flame]

Well i use my gun barrel block the enemy

Which works

[hollow notch]

How is the new aiming

[opaque flicker]

Unless the enemy has a faster turret then they can turn it and easily shoot you

[cursive flame]

You can still hit that without the new aiming

[balmy compass]

Well its so dang small if the IS-7 keeps moving his turret around you can’t quite keep the reticle that lags behind to hit it consistently

Wait I misread 💀
I like the new aim system its good imo, very snappy and pre-aiming is even easier now

[cursive flame]

Yeah i mean most of the are shorter than a maus

[opaque flicker]

Funny how the mitsu 108 is probably the biggest Tier V now

[cursive flame]

Yeah ist bigg as maus

Which is its down side it can get hit most of the time but not pen

[opaque flicker]

I think people also forget that the VK 30.01 P is absolutely enormous but with no armor

Like put it next to a PZ IV G, its much more armored tier V counterpart with mostly the turret being one of the only weakspots, then you have the VK 30.01 P, with more weakspots than armor while being massive compared to its V counterpart

[cursive flame]

Ok it has the t34 neck

[balmy compass]

Turret ring moment

[opaque flicker]

That turret ring is massive man

[cursive flame]

It has the highest plate of 288

It is very light and as fast as is7

[opaque flicker]

Oh is that the VK I was talking about?

[cursive flame]

Judging from this

[opaque flicker]

No that isnt the VK, its turret looks way different

Which tank is that? The Ju-Nu?

[opaque flicker]

The slightest weakspot on the turret though lol

[balmy compass]

Thats the type 71 lol

[opaque flicker]

God it looks similar to the Ju-Nu, of course all I'm looking at is blank textures with no context and only showing armor profile, so I cant really tell

[cursive flame]

Very protective from heat ju to

[opaque flicker]

That's the Ju-To? Oh wait damnit, didnt see the edit 💀

The armor on the new heavies is ridiculous to pen, most of the time I have to use APCR rounds

[cursive flame]

Or just have calibrated shells

But at long range apcr

[scarlet kernel]

At long range use HEAT, APCR decrease pen at long range faster than AP iirc

[opaque flicker]

I have a gun rammer, with it I have a 7 second reload, which even then is quite a hassle and a large struggle to fight the new heavies

[cursive flame]

Juto has much higher pen than IS

[opaque flicker]

I am using a VK 30.01 P, I dont think I have the same penetration

[cursive flame]

That is just wrong 300damge with only 175 pen

[violet timber]

Pen loss over distance is basically non-existent in blitz

[cursive flame]

So calibrated shells i best for now against the new heavies?

[opaque flicker]

VK 30.01 P without calibrated shells only has 150 pen, and does an average of 220 damage

[cursive flame]

Hmm 122 in real life has 200mm if pen

[violet timber]

Depends on the 122

[cursive flame]

Is2 122

[opaque flicker]

How much penatration would a 300 caliber cannon have?

[balmy compass]

Different guns and shells have different amounts of penetration, the Panther I for example has a relatively low caliber but has above average amounts of penetration

[violet timber]

Only had around 150mm

[cursive flame]

32 inches

[balmy compass]

Who uses inches for amount penetrated 💀

[violet timber]

Depends on the shell type, velocity, distance to target

[violet timber]

These stats are not historical mate, they're made for game balance lol

[balmy compass]

^^

[cursive flame]

Its at 1km range and its 762mm

[violet timber]

Again, depends on the shell type and velocity

[opaque flicker]

300ft a second, target 500ft away

[cursive flame]

I know

Some tanks are getting power creeped

When will m3 lee will come back with usable 37mm

[violet timber]

It's already a collector

[cursive flame]

Noooo

I had fun with m3 lee

And low teir american derp gun is gone

[balmy compass]

It’s still a pretty decent and fun tank to play tbh, although awkward with the turret and cupola

[weak furnace]

any tips for Tiger II?

[nimble topaz]

Type 71 new meta damn... I hope they nerf its front lower plate somehow

[misty wing]

It's not a new meta

[still cave]

any Pz. IV hydrostat connoisseurs out here to sealclub with? 🤡

[plucky summit]

Good luck clubbing against Mitsus ._.

Well, I guess you don't need it, most people playing it are bad bad bad

[fierce wolf]

What I’m worried about is his sub 1k avg damage, he’s not sealclubbing just yet, he’s getting good teams

[valid gale]

That’s killing one enemy fully and chipping half of another worth of damage

[still cave]

I havent touched this tank in ages, I played it a lot when I got it from closed beta testing in 2014 haha so I was a noob when playing it back then

[fierce wolf]

So ur pro now

[still cave]

better than 8 years ago for sure 😉

[fierce wolf]

😎

[acoustic galleon]

Caliban officially announced lol.
Can't wait to face them in battles.

[solid gate]

guys how you aim on the A shape sight?

[humble jungle]

Oh my god.

[inland osprey]

Imo Caliban ain't that bad as long as it doesn't get its autoreloader from pc

[violet timber]

It doesn’t have an auto reloader anymore

[inland osprey]

ah that's good

oy wait it has hesh, oh no

[solid gate]

ahh i see i got confused to it well thanks for the help..

i think caliban should have an armor i mean we can just wait for it to waste all its shots , then attack since it has slow reload its sad that its not have that thickness like in pc its a heavy and should have an armor like a heavy

[acoustic galleon]

The problem with Caliban is not that it is OP but it is broken, its kinda like the 183. With its HESH it can kill any full health tank that is not a heavy in one *magazine.
But at the same time if it cannot pen with the HESH shells, it has no other statistic to make it a decent tank. No moblity, no armor and bad gun when using the AP.

[solid gate]

hmm..

[thin edge]

Dammm bro mitsu 108 w/ 105mm is powerful and also useless

[strange thicket]

has its stats been out? the AP pen on the caliban is that of the E100 on pc i think
it is over 200mm

[violet timber]

Calibans stats are out

[valid gale]

Tier 8 183 moment

[limpid ether]

Most thinnest HT hull in T8

[violet timber]

Except it’ll get heavy tank HP! Because balance!

[limpid ether]

With how thin the armor is, every tank would have a field day just penning the poor thing

[valid gale]

Doesn’t matter run a platoon of them? Delete anyone who does

[violet timber]

Double tap time

[balmy compass]

built to counter those smasher and anni platoons

[past fractal]

Do u guys have any tips on how to play Ru 251? Just bought it recently, and put calib shells on it

[balmy compass]

load a good amount of HE shells as you can pen the rear of every heavy its tier except VK 100 iirc, at least for tech tree tanks
run around scout, spot try not to get HE'ed use your good accuracy to hit tanks from the sides/rear and always be giving support to someone

[hollow belfry]

Keep in mind that you have 6 degrees of gun depression over the front but 10 over the sides, that can make a lot of difference

[balmy compass]

I never knew that despite Ru being one of my favorite tanks 😐
but also you only have 1 degree of depression on the back 😂

[pallid pulsar]

Level 10 and 9 German light tanks

Please

[wise moth]

Take off the calibrated shells. No point in playing lights without DPM

[kindred roost]

A

[past fractal]

mogus

[balmy compass]

having 112mm of HE pen is fun

[strange thicket]

the pen is fine on the ap what 💀
that plus a fully traversable turret

[icy wadi]

Man, nobody told me skoda t50 is so good. Discovered it again after a year and it's insane...

[prime nova]

OMG

[rustic cobalt]

any tips for the IS 7 ?

[balmy compass]

Hulldown

[rustic cobalt]

yeah, but thats not always practical if going over hills/bumps

can u sidescrape in IS 7 ? - cant seem to get it right

[balmy compass]

Not really because its a pike nose

[merry current]

its harder to sidescrape frontally cuz u unangle ur pike nose, so u can only bait side and hope they shoot

[rustic cobalt]

how do i switch off the Slowmode on this text channel? wanna text faster and get replies faster

[balmy compass]

Become a pink moderator
(you can’t)

[rustic cobalt]

this texting and replies is way too slow

[tulip knot]

It’s not a setting, it’s put in place by mods

[candid torrent]

should i buy a mega container or collect them all or save up for a tier 8 prem tank?

[lyric copper]

save, youre guaranteed a tank

[candid torrent]

my proplem is that tanks are way more expensive

[lyric copper]

better a guarantee than a 5% chance...

[dreamy osprey]

Its actually red wargaming

[rustic cobalt]

is there any other way of communicating in real time rather than waiting on a 30 sec reply? - does anyone know a way around this please? - i have lots of questions as a newbie to discord and this is frustrating!?

[rustic cobalt]

how do i change the 30sec waiting time for a reply on this forum?

[dreamy osprey]

you can't

[rustic cobalt]

what do i do then for a good forum about wot blitz - i'm a newbie and need to talk to gamers about the tips and tricks please

[dreamy osprey]

the 30sec slow mo shouldn't be an issue

[strange thicket]

you can talk her, just formulate your sentences well to fit the 30 seconds cool down
30 seconds cool down doesn't slow the pace of convos this much, it makes it reasonable
so have a little patience

[rustic cobalt]

i type fast and talk fast - 30secs is ages for a reply

[fast compass]

30 seconds is a tad bit too long but I have given up any hopes of it being lowered

[strange thicket]

how fast is your wpm? my wpm is 105-100 and i find the 30 sec cool down okay

[fast compass]

Well we aren't writing essays here. More often than not small replies are all that are necessary in discussion channels. While 30 seconds doesn't break conversations, there is still a bit of waiting every so often

[strange thicket]

my wpm comment was towards the guy not you. but yeah that is reasonable i guess
but it is not too bad
10 seconds would be better

[rustic cobalt]

at last a bro - i love WOT Blitz - but i need tips on how to use different tanks

[strange thicket]

ask away in this channel and you will get a reply sooner or later
dependent on who is on this channel the quality of the advice changes
just leave your questions here, if you don't get a reply then ask again another time

#general-blitz-discussion is more active than this channel too

[rustic cobalt]

its not about wpm - the moderators need to let players text chat at their normal rate -

[strange thicket]

the chat has always been like this so deal with it 🤷‍♂️

[rustic cobalt]

oh - too hard

don't tell me to deal with with it !!

no need for the aggression

[strange thicket]

sorry, didn't mean it in an aggressive sense

[bright yoke]

drac > helsing

[rustic cobalt]

thats ok bro - no worries

does anybody know is there a way of playing WOT and having discord on text as well at the same time in your platooned clan?

[strange thicket]

you can use shift + ~ or whatever is the keybind to open a small text box to type in to your friends
other than that just enter a voice chat and have discord open in the background

[errant island]

what if grille 15 driver got shot from the back

[rustic cobalt]

thanks

[errant island]

what if wt auf pz driver fell from its seat\

[scarlet kernel]

@errant island grille 15 and WT driver is located inside the front of the tank, not on the back

[thorny smelt]

The gunner is the one behind the gun

[errant island]

yes i mean the gunner im stupid

[spice pine]

What if a splash from a 152mm HE shell kills the loader or commander of a Wolverine

[brave juniper]

You magically revive them with multipurpose kit

[silent pivot]

May Rngsus have mercy on that cat

Dum thing: u can do 1000 dmg with splash if ur lucky
I know because i was the lucky one who smashed a jagpanther with HE ( i shot him in the upper hull and did 900 dmg )

[limpid ether]

Maybe you hit the roof or he was turning and you hit the sides

[regal fiber]

Damn
That blocked damage

[opaque flicker]

Yeah the fully upgraded T28 Prot gun is balanced

260 Penatration
9.1 second reload
400 average damage

260 with AP, 312 with APCR

Max damage for HE is 544

[limpid ether]

Slow af tank hull.

Paper thin side armor

Average accuracy for gun.

It's balanced

[opaque flicker]

I was talking about the gun, not the tank itself

[limpid ether]

Still balanced since it's mounted on such a mediocre hull

[opaque flicker]

Ik that, y'know for the paper armor and size of the engine you would think it would be faster or more powerful

Especially considering that the T25/2 has a much better fully upgraded engine with about the same armor

[limpid ether]

It's frontal armor is pretty thick, that's where the rest of the weight went.

And it's tracks are kinda thin for the hull

[opaque flicker]

Wouldve been nice to have thicker tracks and a faster engine like its lower tier counterparts

How do we go from a hellcat, one of the fastest tanks in the game, to a T25/2, to one of the slowest tanks in the game, the T28 Prot

[limpid ether]

Would be, but I guess that's just how the U.S designers made the T28 Prototype to be, after all it's supposed to be a Turreted prototype for the T28 Breakthrough, so thick arse front armor, big gun to take out bunkers and nothing else

[opaque flicker]

I can see why it never really made it into the battlefield

[limpid ether]

Apart from being too heavy to be space efficient on a Cargo Ship(YOU DONT WANT TO HAVE A 50 TON TANK ROLLING IN YOUR DECK) it would also be a pain to service the tracks and engine and transmission when they break, and they would break alot, like the tiger 1 transmission memes but American.

And that's why they went for the Sherman Jumbos when it comes to Heavy tanks

[opaque flicker]

What if they produced a super-heavy Sherman variant? What would that look like?

[limpid ether]

Sherman Super-Jumbo.

Sherman Jumbo, with spaced armor, and probably either a 76mm for anti tank or a 105mm for anti infantry and fortifications.

The armor for the jumbo is 6 inch/152mm all around on the turret ,just give it more hull armor and better tracks and transmission that can withstand the weight

[opaque flicker]

What I really do like about the t28 prot, is that it can easily pen the front armor of a Tiger II

[limpid ether]

And turret, and gun depression

I'm planning on grinding the T-25/2 to get the T28 prot, gotta get some credits from my Jagdtiger

[misty wing]

T25/2*

[opaque flicker]

I swear to god

[limpid ether]

Yes but auto correct corrects it to T-25

[opaque flicker]

This person really swooped in like superman, "correction" and then flies out into the sunset

Like they straight up came out of nowhere and I'm not even mad because it was funny

[limpid ether]

He isn't even typing anymore lol he really flew away

[misty wing]

I'm playing a game -_-

[opaque flicker]

🗿

[misty wing]

anyway, don't use russian notation for american tanks

[limpid ether]

I know but again, auto correct auto cerrects it.

The T-25 Is a tier 5 medium German tank btw, I said T-25 too much T25 becomes T-25

[misty wing]

I understand but how do you find yourself talking about the T-25 a lot lmao

it's a tier 5 that no one plays

[limpid ether]

Because it's my most played tank ever with 1.3K battles.

It was my first ever premium, and the only one I got from crates

[misty wing]

💀
my condolences

[limpid ether]

Nah, it was pretty fun to have, I got to tiger 1 because of it, sold it off though when I got the Jagdtiger 88

Makes me want to VRT it now, imagine could use it when getting ace medals lol

[solid gate]

is maus and mauschen the same thing?,because i just realized that maus used to be named mauschen before the v1 was created

[misty wing]

nope

[nimble topaz]

is7 can still beat type 71?? but type 71 can beat 60tp??? but 60tp can beat is 7??

[honest creek]

really depends on the player tbh

[nimble topaz]

[floral ginkgo]

@nimble topaz life cycle bro😁😁

[unborn ibex]

is it me or do i think the mitsu 108 is a really depressing tank

but the thing is the rest of the line is good

[old light]

Problem with T5 heavies is that T1 Heavy is just too good, so no other T5 heavy will feel like good

[balmy compass]

but it only got 3 degrees of depression on the front, the St. Emil is way more drepressed

[acoustic galleon]

Nah Mitsu is just bad, it can't even pen weak spots with premium rounds and cali.

[gritty ridge]

Question, what round should I use for nuking people with the RHM

[strange thicket]

reticle calibration/adrenaline, multipurpose, repair. spall liner in provisions. 640 alpha gun.
choice between reticle calibration and adrenaline is up to how you play the tank
or you can be a madman and run both but be extra careful

[gritty ridge]

Sounds cancerous but awesome at the same time

[shrewd kernel]

does anyone know when the GUP serial tanks are coming back?

[olive junco]

should i do is7 or is4 line

[dim pollen]

IS7

[nimble topaz]

Is7

[inland osprey]

True

Mitsu can barely hit anything in a facehug

[solid gate]

world of warplanes blitz when

[rigid rover]

what is gun depression?

[fast compass]

Never

[dim pollen]

When a gun becomes too depressed to hit any tank, then it is called as gun depression. In short, a sad gun lol

[rigid rover]

no atually bruh

[dim pollen]

How much u can look down while aiming down. Tht shows gun depression. Less gun depression, less u can look down. More, the better. For hulldown.

[rigid rover]

oh okay thx

Also how do you even get the TOG II* i cant find it on the tech tree

[old light]

You need to buy it with gold

[rigid rover]

is ti a premuim tank?

[old light]

Yes

[rigid rover]

which country?

[urban basin]

UK

[rigid rover]

okay

[urban basin]

Tho you have to buy it in the shop and it’s not always there

[old light]

It comes quite "cheap" however due to being a Tier 6

[rigid rover]

what, also idnt the blasteroid just a decorated and fancier tog 2 (edit) how much is tog 2?

[sour crown]

Tog has less damage per shot, more dpm and is a bit smaller

[rigid rover]

bruh okay

[limpid ether]

Tog also has more gun depression at 10 degrees, blaster at 5

[rigid rover]

okay

[potent garnet]

elephant (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

[rigid rover]

i destroyed a blasteroid with 30.01D by spinning around it and hitting its end, its so long so its exposed even in cover lmao

how to play jagdpanther 2

[thorny smelt]

Hulldown

[dreamy mortar]

Is this tank any good?

[kindred wren]

Nobody knows because it‘s so rare. The stats are decent

[acoustic galleon]

I have only seen the Phase 1 once in all my time playing Blitz.

[hollow sequoia]

ufp is impennable, turret is great, 10° gun dep, decent gun and mobility

just play it like any other hulldown heavy, a cupola exists but if you use all of your gun dep it disappears

[thorny smelt]

It's less armored brother of Black Prince

[civic iron]

Are you ok sir?

[limpid ether]

I think he though OP was talking about the A45.

Probably didn't see the AE Phase 1

[civic iron]

Ah, ig that's a fair point

[scarlet kernel]

Type 71 in mm died down faster than any other new tanks from what i've seen lmao

Make sense for me cause the tank is a bit irritating to play, it is powerful but the turret rotation + long turret with really weak side armor is frustrating

[misty quest]

Its going to be 6 months since Bourrasque announced (13 December) so can we expect it to come to shop for gold on June 13? I’m waiting for that beauty for too long

[dreamy osprey]

you mean available in shop? because it was in shop for crates

[misty quest]

Except crates, ım waiting for it to come for gold

[solid gate]

LUCKY!! WHAAT lucky dude

[solid gate]

its the caenarvon prototype right?

what british premiums are good to get?

[umbral hamlet]

none, tech trees are better
except for mk6 and sconq

[empty helm]

I thought super conqueror was strong

[solid gate]

eeh?? bruhm. theres a good premium there i just dont know what tanks they are

[umbral hamlet]

apart being one of the most op t9 in the game, yes it's good

you should try irl lottery mate, you just got a tank with 0.02 drop chance

[solid gate]

i know its 0.01

[umbral hamlet]

still, he prob had an higher chance to win a couple of thousands in a lottery than finding the AE

[empty helm]

5 dollars lottery

[empty helm]

Every mitsu 108 player's dream

[solid gate]

guys i dont understand why theres a us insignia on some british tanks , i dont unserstand it and i saw in war armored archives

[thorny smelt]

St. Emil left the chat

[empty helm]

Reject St. Emil embrace Renault Otsu

[zealous marlin]

Wich provisions and what equipment I should use on the 60tp when I wanna use in a tournament?

[limpid ether]

US-UK lend lease, during ww2 UK doesn't have as much industrial power as US or Germany(and they are being bombed 24/7) so U.S would give their tanks to them.

[strange thicket]

really weak side armor?

[wise pike]

Which one to grind, IS7 or E50M first?

[strange thicket]

have you ever been hunted down in a medium by a type 71 before? it didn't even die down people are just used to OP stuff in the game lmao @scarlet kernel
that thing is busted

[scarlet kernel]

@strange thicket i meant the turret side armor, not the hull
Again it is powerfull, but it's irritating when you need to turn the turret to face your opponent

[strange thicket]

put traverse equipment
be the bane of mediums and lights
still be able to bounce heavies and tds in hulldown situations
profit
did the turret traverse stop prenerf E5? no

[scarlet kernel]

It is beetween fun and OP, like hellcat. People say it's op, but i don't like it
That's why i don't see many on the mm rn

[strange thicket]

in fact i have the opposite experience to you, i tooned with my clanmate today morning and we saw countless Type 71s.
is it not fun? ehh debatable.
but still thing is busted, not remotely balanced.

[solid gate]

no.. its not thise lend lease , i saw some british tanks have the american star isignia like the cromwell berlin , these british tanks have the american star on it why theres one?

[mystic sleet]

Aren't the Chimera and Centurion 5/1 signifficantly better than their tech tree counterparts?

[umbral hamlet]

chimera is just overhyped, cent is decent yes but there are definetly much better tanks

[solid gate]

how much they sell then?

[acoustic galleon]

I don't think there is any tier 8 medium that is better than the 5/1.

[acoustic galleon]

Around 8k gold, sometimes less.

[solid gate]

i see.. hmm ill try to earn by ads ill get these tanks u recomend.

[acoustic galleon]

If you're looking for tier 8 premiums its honestly better to get one the heavies than mediums.
Would definitely suggest getting the Shark if possible.

[strange thicket]

Chimera is definitely not overhyped lmfao

[strange thicket]

Chimera pretty much equalizes with it
and has much higher alpha so it is up to the playstyle

[solid gate]

When did they last sell the pz ii j? People have been saying a couple weeks ago, but I really don’t remember-

[balmy compass]

Not sure if it was ever sold

[solid gate]

It was, it was sold on blitz before, I just don’t know if they sold it recently

[zenith surge]

Does anyone think it would be interesting to see the sheridan with the 105 that it has on wot?

[acoustic galleon]

In Blitz the HE shells are still relevant so it would be pointless to run the smaller gun.

[zenith surge]

Fair but similar dpm to med may be interesting

[merry current]

why would u run a smaller gun sheri when vickers exists

[zenith surge]

Spaced armor, speed, choice, it's like the e100 having a 12cm as well as 15cm

Plus I just like the sheridan as a tank

[hollow belfry]

Like if people actually used the e100’s 12.8💀

[zenith surge]

Well case in point, but you do have the choice

[merry current]

mk6

[violet timber]

Just don’t Show your sides lmao

[strange thicket]

because uprising is a good way to judge a tank's performance right?

[lyric copper]

on which?

[balmy compass]

why is this british tank gray?

[lyric copper]

it was made in slough

[hollow belfry]

No loicense for regular army paint

[fast compass]

Looks like weather in London

[blissful osprey]

um, it pretty much did, actually. I became a lot less flexible post-nerf because the turret traverse is so slow now.

[mystic canyon]

Ltg or Lttb?

[violet timber]

LTTB

[old light]

LTTB is better tier for tier but T-100LT is bonkers

LTG is what happens when your mother smokes and uses illegal materials while being pregnant to you

[misty wing]

Don't both of them lead to T-100 though 🤔

[violet timber]

Yes, but the LTTB line also leads to the T-54

[plucky merlin]

Vk90.01p is such an exquisite tank

Front armor so good

[sour crown]

Yeah
Good armor, good alpha, ok reload, can sidescrape, can hulldown, 10° of depression, not as fat as the maus and faster

[plucky merlin]

Indeed and its hatch is also very nicely protected

[thorny smelt]

And a high pen gun

[solid gate]

ohh okay

[solid gate]

hmm so how i play chimera? second line medium or like a heavy?

[plucky summit]

Idk why you even think it can play like a heavy

[solid gate]

uhh

[solid gate]

i dunno because it has slow reload and high alpha like a heavy?

[misty wing]

heavies are about the armor more so than the armament

[plucky summit]

Don't play tanks like others purely because of the gun 😂

[misty wing]

T49 players camping like a borsig because of the 152mm gun

[plucky summit]

My 60TP has a high alpha and long reload, so I gotta play it like a T49 😎

But yeah, basically shoot the high damage shot, preferably from a hulldown position, and dip into cover and wait to reload @solid gate

Real big brain strats

[solid gate]

okay.. so i support the dpm meds behind?

[plucky summit]

It's a trading playstyle, really, you might just get time to focus more on game sense and maneuvers

Yeah basically

[solid gate]

okay i hope its good price hmm, ill buy chimera.

[plucky summit]

You can act like a punishment for when enemies overextend to shoot you or your allies

Like a 183 holding a corner, nobody wants to come around first and get hit

[solid gate]

okay.. so like peek a boo

[plucky summit]

Yup

[solid gate]

okay , hmm i still only have 800 gold ill just save and wait for it..i hope it has a sale that is only 6k ?

[plucky summit]

Sounds like it'll hit for 7k or so, but I haven't been tracking that, so I can't say it's a reliable guess

[solid gate]

okay.. ill just save then..

[shy hound]

Front line med

[balmy compass]

TDS because it has reticle calibrator 😁

[cedar brook]

Im thinking of grinding the Italian mediums, are they worth it? Cause i kinda want the progetto.

[solid gate]

okay

[gloomy flume]

what tank you guys recommend for me, im light tank player

[misty wing]

T-100 LT

[void tulip]

Progetto 46 vs M4a1 rev?

i own both tanks i was wondering because both of them are good

[nimble topaz]

progetto for meh 😄 its an autoREloader thats why and has good mobility too 😉 but depends on your playstyle

[void tulip]

i like both though but i need other player's opinions on the tanks

[copper swan]

progetto 46 is good for burst damage
M4 is more support tank style and slower
both tanks have no armour

[strange thicket]

Read what i said
E5 always had terrible turret traverse
Yet that didn't stop it BEFORE the nerf

[muted prism]

imo I will prefer getto 46… as 3 shot burst really hurt… and you can play it as normal 1 shot tank after burst as it is autoreloader

[solid gate]

LT 463
