It still look a bit, but the turret seems to be as bouncy as an american turret. So the goal is to keep moving and only show your turret. The hull is nothing to write home about though.

The drat thing is also huge. Its great at support, but you can't really affect outcomes like the E75 can. Can't push in it, and melts under any sort of sustained fire.

I wanted a heavy tier 9 for when others wanted to play 9s and already had an excelsior and decent crew so figured I'd go up the line. It's not bad(the gun is amazing) but not a keeper tank. At this point I'm just hoping the Chieftan is good and I'll get a german crew ready to rebuy the e75.

Mesadoram posted:Stupid question, why does the bush in this video sort of disappear as he zooms in? I'm like 90% sure it's just an in-game graphical setting. When the camera is far away from some foliage, it'll looks low-res, blocky, and hard to see past. But as the camera gets closer (you drive closer, or zoom in), it renders the foliage in much greater detail, allowing you to see past individual leaves and branches like in the video. I play at max graphical settings and that's exactly how it is for me, thought I have no idea exactly which setting(s) may affect it. Unfortunately I'm out of town for a few days, so I can't test it out or give you a better answer than that.

Cardiac posted:Why the Tiger2 so high? A slow tier8 tank that sees tier10 is not the funniest in my mind. Because it's a solid tank that leads to the best tier 9 heavy. The Tiger 2 is like a babby E-75. The Tiger 2 itself is a significant upgrade over the Tiger H. Really you could probably swap the place of this and the 416 in your list, depending on whether you prefer heavies or meds, but the 416 has great mobility, camo, and a gun that it trades for a full turret and depression, which is why I put the Tiger 2 one step higher. YMMV. I have both tanks (and I think pretty much everything else on your list) but haven't played a ton of matches in either of those; I have, however, played against them a lot in my >14k battles.  What is this from?  NTRabbit posted:The British tree really needs a heavy crew trainer premium, so they've given us exactly what we need I guess with this I'll have everything from the IS[-1] to the IS-8!

So, uh, how do you play Blitz with one hand? I mean I'm curious but I guess this might be TMI.... On second thought, forget about it; just tell us your IGN so we can add you. There's already about a half dozen of us who play Blitz (AtomizerX, garregus, PrincessBumblebeeTuna, SturmHaubitze, protastic, naktl). In other Blitz news, the Fury is back in the shop.

Maybe if everyone else was as prolific at designing and building viable prototypes as the Soviets, they'd have 20 different premiums as well Seriously though, WG have easy access to the Soviet archives and nearly everything on the tree was built in steel, more so than any other national tree including the next most historical (US, from memory). Also I went to FTR (uuughhh) to check out the IS-5, and hahaha holy poo poo, since Rita is apparently on holiday and FTR's followers can't survive five minutes without creeping on a girl playing WoT, a "Rita-approved" stream was linked. e: Nice new tonks!

Yeah, the effort that it takes to flip from travel mode to battle mode usually means you're either too far back to fight effectively or have people popping up without being able to shoot them. I can't wait until the next tier where this problem goes away.

Also, if you wonder what Dekatris is doing in his E-75 in the end, he almost decided to throw the game just to TK our M12, but I talked him out of it.

Still the 57s (and also the 3" guns) are not particularly accurate and take way too long to aim; the 105 is AFAIK exactly the same as the one on the M4. With the 105 you can wreck poo poo when you're on top but when you're in a tier 7 match you'll hit things for 50-100 damage. It's just not a great tank, you have to slog through it. Try to platoon, a lot of us are working on the same tier 5s.

Good job on the transparency wargaming It's extremely similar to the Panther II. And 0,8 med passability is nice but it's not a miracle worker so I'm a bit skeptical about it keeping up with a tank with more than 40% extra hp/t.
