Is there ANY way in which the M48 Patton is better than the STB-1 at anything that matters? Just turret rotation I guess. STB-1 is rocking my world. It may throw off shots but its lovely and OP and beautiful.

The Bulldog nerf doesn't seem too bad if you are using the autoloader... 4 seconds added to an already long reload time won't really affect how the tank is played or its effectiveness once that clip reloads. Though it will kind of suck more at the beginning of matches.

Nah, Panther 88 appeared in a 9.5 during EU's Xmas/NY 15% off T8 prems - they just said "gently caress you it's not included" - no reason to delay the patch when they can just say no discount.

I haven't played since 0.7.3 mostly because I was really tired of playing at 300-500 ping constantly. Is there any way for me to transfer my US account to the Asia server? It'd be nice to be able to just jump right back in to my SU-8, SU-100, Hummel, and I think I got up to the JgPz IV? Also is there stuff I should know that's changed a lot? I know I heard a bit of stuff about the new engine and less bullshit misses. E: Also the launcher says I have 8.3gb of patches - would it be faster to just download the game from scratch? I'm kind of erring to the side of a fresh install because I have no idea whether I took mods off properly while patching. is that good fucked around with this message at 13:08 on Feb 13, 2015 |

Jack_tripper posted:6 games in and this might be my new favorite tank; why are they nerfing it again? They're not nerfing it much, really. If you use the autoloader anyway. Going from 32 to 36sec reload is like 12% increase. But if you use the non-autoloader gun it's in the 22% range. Basically the DPM drops from 2571 to 2071. That's drat near 25% drop, and the DPM of the autoloader is suddenly comparable. While clipping it's vastly superior. So...in short, get the autoloader and forget about there being a nerf at all.

I'm pretty sure that if you were to play now it would be a completely different game from what you remember. Edit: Oh man, I just checked. 7.3 was allll the way back when the KV was split into the KV-1 and KV-2. Yeah, if you want to play again you might as well just start over because practically everything is changed one way or another. Except the Lee. The Lee is still poo poo.

I see that most of the tanks that I used to play that were T5s are now like T6s and T7s now, so that's interesting. I really enjoyed TDs, so I'm hoping they're still good-ish.

Allstone posted:Yeah, there wasn't any physics modeling - if you tried to go over an edge you just came to a sudden stop without taking any damage, so trying to skirt around the slopy bits on the edge of the map in lights/mediums was really risky. They are about to get slapped with a much needed view range. At high tiers, artillery pretty much dictates the battles, even though its not fun to play as and not fun to be on the receiving end (so why is it there?)

"much needed view range nerf," just to clarify for him. If you want fun, go Russian TDs and take the SU-152 line. Don't bother getting the Tier 10, it's poo poo and in some cases outperformed by the 9, but tiers 6-9 are great and often hilarious. MoraleHazard posted:I'm a few hundred thousand credits away from my first Tier 7 tank, the T29. You will love it, and it's a much better choice for a new player than the Bulldog, but make sure you at least freexp to the 90mm.

because it completely outclasses all the other t7 scouts by an insane margin (besides the LTTB), after 9.6 lands for sea/NA the t71 might be better than the bulldog.

I guess I know how to progress on the Russian light tech tree, though my second Tier 7 will likely be the KV-13 once my T-34-85 gets enough experience as I tend to favor heavies and mediums. I recruited my brother to play this lovely game and have to figure out how to make sure we get whatever bonuses or rewards that can be had.

Cardiac posted:Eh? This is what I find, Arty dictates some interactions like you can't just sit hull down in a hollow and be invincible but it's mostly the high tier mediums that really do that damage. You might get killed by an arty but only through pressure brought on by the rest of the team. If your team does nothing to pressure the other team then you get no where with arty.

This isn't even my final form! (stock except for upgraded radio) Gotta love starting west, crossing the field, and have tanks driving in there to try to kill you. 1024 on the WT4, 1650 on the T30, 1172 on the 704. E-100 was afk (drove off cap and into map border, crashed?) and I spotted it at the end, 2339 spotting damage. Now if only this had been in a light tank while I was on LT-15...

Welp Valentines day is tomorrow, and some premium tanks are on sale 75% off. The Valentine is poo poo but only sees tier fours. Grab one for platooning with B2s if you don't have a B2. The Matilda 4 is really bad. It is worse in every way to the Churchill 3, except hull rotation. Do not buy the Matilda BP. Do not buy the Matilda BP. It is not worth the slot in your garage. The regular Matilda and Valentine tanks are on sale for 75% credits, buy them and sell the Valentine for a 50% on Sunday. The Matilda is great fun, the Valentine is hilariously unbalanced in the wrong direction, and the VAT is alright but a bit slow.

I don't think the T-44 has called for a WAR since they buffed the 'rack HP on it, but if it frustrates you go ahead. It's probably the worse choice looking at pure performance though.
