Must be. But apparently this thing is crew compatible with both the E100 line, and the Panzer VII line (which I'm starting to grind) so I guess I'm paying 27€ for the funny animes.

I really come to appreciate the experimental hardening/config T-34-3 the more I play it. Starting with a 6 perk 122 TM crew helps of course. For some reason Chinese guns feel like they have +10% average damage rolls over other nations' stuff. Taking big nasty chunks out of unsuspecting victims never gets old. And asylum from Tier X is still something

The stats for the Nemesis say it has -10 degrees of gun depression, but that is only when the gun is pointed directly in front of it. It goes from -7 to +1 if you point it anywhere else.

Fun way to wrap up the Progetto 54. What an absolute gem of a tank! Fast, good gun depression, laser accurate gun, great flexibility through the auto-reloader. A++, definitely recommend. E: Oh boy, the stock T9 is ... not anything of the above. E2:  It's enough to make you cry. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 14:17 on May 18, 2024 |

This is how it's been for several months on EU. It's astonishing that these fuckwits managed to get worse than the 15-1 poo poo we've had for a few years but here we are. These days it's completely normal to see 1/3 or even more of your team die with 0 damage, and most of the rest with like one shot.

They really need to do something about the consistent 15-5 (or worse) blowouts. Even if it means tweaking the winning side's RNG slightly.

What's the deal with the Progetto 66's upgraded turret? Does it seriously trade a bunch of frontal armour for a bit of view range? Or is it misleading and the frontal armour is actually slanted / spaced or something? E: yeah I have no idea what the gently caress the in-game stats are doing, on tanks.gg the second turret is massively more armoured frontally.

I'm an outlier in that situation as I still have a 60%+ win rate (from not playing), but having played a few games last week, I can safely say I suck because I'm out of practice.

Getting rid of the +2 bullshit would do more for MM than introducing skill-based matching imo. When I load into a game as bottom tier with a 2 spread, I just assume it's going to be an utter shitshow.

 Ugh finally, hunting down high tier TDs is so infuriating. Multiplied by the 'damage 7 different enemies' daily, and having to win  I also sold all tier 10s (again) except the EBR105. The aggravation is not worth the bonds and access to the fun fun competitive modes. sauer kraut fucked around with this message at 13:42 on May 19, 2024 |

It is comical how much faster it is to grind non-light tanks through ToTT than light tanks. I got through the Progetto 54 from stock to Progetto 66 in 31 games. 26 battles, 56% WR and 1500 WN8 in my SP Ic and I'm not even halfway to the HWK-12, which is apparently somehow even worse. Not only is your random 2024 pubbie incapable of shooting at poo poo you spot, WG have hosed up the XP gains for spotting etc so badly that playing light tanks is just a massive pain in the rear end. The only exception is if you can reliably do lots of damage.

Tort is such a wonderful bully Yeah, the DPM constantly catches people out. A few games ago there was a Standard B who kept poking around the corner, trying to bait my shots, thinking he could then drive out to unload his clip on me. I intentionally fired into the ground, he drove out, got one 230 damage shot into me, and then I locked him down in place and shot him to pieces one shot at a time.

a couple friends randomly decided to get back into WoT this week so i redownloaded and am playing for the first time in multiple years. they just started so i've gone back to T3 tanks and am having a lot of fun in my speedy little Pz. III E. my best tank is a Tiger II but i hear the E-100 is kind of a chunk of poo poo? i have no idea if that was always the case but i also don't know if i'm gonna end up grinding out the last two tiers of that tree anyway turns out i'm still in PANSY. looks like not very many people in that clan have logged in recently but if there's a newer/better clan with active people i'd be interested in joining. without a T10 i probably have no use in clan wars if that stuff still happens but i'm also bad at the game and wouldn't be good in that sort of thing anyway

The E-75 is still a good solid heavy, and the E-50 and E-50M are good tanks with a nice ramming gimmick.

When the hell are WG gonna sell an item that applies "premium" status to a selected tech tree tank under T10 so I don't have to train new crews to keep playing the t8/t9 once I finish a particular line? They could even make it the final paid-track reward in each season's battlepass to keep suppy limited for all I care. I would probably even pick up WOT+ if that was one of the perks. They already directly sell power in the form of OP tanks, why not fully embrace it? Having massive fun with the E50, in part due to a nice 6-skill crew, and I don't really want to sell it as I get closer to unlocking the E50M. But no way am I gonna go through the hassle of leveling a whole nother crew just to keep playing it after I move the better crew to the tier 10.

Yeah the E100s problem is its gargantuan, flat turret front. Against equal tiers (and increasingly tier 9 as well) it must keep the turret angled away at least 30°.. which poses a problem if you maybe wanna shoot something at some point The E75s Panther, narrow-style turret fares better and it has easier matchmaking. I can't recommend the E50(M) for newer players. It's often not clear at all where you are supposed to go, with the heavies or the mediums? When do you start using your supposed armor and make a breakthrough? Do you know all the firing lines of the map to move your massive beast with poor camo around safely? Can you keep up perfect angling under pressure in close quarter engagements? I don't. And the ramming thing happens once under a blue moon. When you get to deploy that one, the game is already over one way or the other.

Granted, I am still partway through the grind, but the T9 Italian heavy feels a LOT worse tier for tier than the T8 did. Like "this is bad" worse.

Both these motherfuckers sat AFK in base and didn't do ANYTHING the entire battle. Literally blanks for their entire detailed report. But because we won, they got more XP out of the match than all but one of the enemy. loving awesome system you've got here WG.

Do you have the upgrade turret? The first one is a stock Tiger 2 kinda joke. Even upgraded, the Prog66 armor only works straight on and using full hulldown. The tier 8 has weird angles around the turret ring, and even the lower front plate is trollish like a T110E5. The gun mantlet (that's the weak spot for a hulldown 66) is almost the same thickness for both.
