Does the AMX CDC get preferential matchmaking? If it does, then I see no reason to buy the FCM anymore. Both have paper armor, but the CDC has better mobility, better gun, better depression, is smaller, and has comparable HP...

They don't do pref premiums anymore, and they're slowly removing all of the existing ones from the store.

Nope. FCM will be superior for making GBS threads on tier 8 and 9 games. CDC will have to fight tier 10s.

I have a feeling the CDC might shine in Stronghold Skirmishes. And it looks pretty loving ballin.

Not sure I want to drop $35 bucks for it, but I blew all my gold on stupid poo poo and I don't think I can save up 7.5k gold for it.

If I didn't have the FCM I'd be all over that CDC. I just saw some videos of people playing it in Tier X matches and its very competitive. Its basically a Tier VIII Batchat 25t without the autoloader.

They said they might be changing some of the IM "soon™". That being said, the 13 90 is fun either way right?

Right?

Also, I need to finish two more missions so I can get an all Female crew in the CDC.

Edit: The more I play the IS-4 the more I love it. Caught one of the battle callers by surprise when I did top damage in it.

I thought that I was going to have to work up to a Tier 8 or 9 tank destroyer to pull of the TD-15 (deal 4000 damage) mission.



It appears that it won't be necessary. :v:

The way it went down is we won the field because the enemy team only sent an AMX 12t across to our side of the map. I then blapped a Pz. 38NA that was blundering around by their base. While that was going on our town force got rolled so two medium tanks, a Cromwell and a Chi-To jumped on cap. I moved into a spot SSE of the capture circle to spot and block any enemy tanks that came back to rest the capture. Sure enough an IS came up the 9 line and basically ignored me as I drilled two shots into him. He was later finished off by the Cromwell and Chi-To. Then a VK3002DB tried to rush me and died in 3-4 shots. A T-34-85 (who should have known better) tried to do the same and also died. The Wolverine that was supporting the T-34-85 chickened out when the T-34-85 died so I peeked over the hill and killed him too. I was ready to go hunting for more tanks but the two mediums capped out which was probably for the best because the remaining enemy tanks were in our base shooting up our SPGs.

EDIT: Mesadoram - The AMX 13 90 is great except for the fact that it has godawful aim bloom.

Pulling 4k in the 122-44 usually isn't easy unless your team is just as incompetent as the enemy team, in my experience around the time you hit 3-3.5k your team will start rolling over the enemies and kill things before you aim in.

Alternatively, use proud Republic of China anti-tank tactics, like this.

Yup, they also stated they are not going to fix that either. Guess you can't have everything eh?

That bloom is the only thing really keeping the 13 90 from being truly over powered from just slightly over powered.

Also, the 122-44 is one of the best tanks in the game (especially at that tier). If you think otherwise, you are doing it wrong.

I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest post. No lies whatsoever.

i've been busy want want retail therapy by means of a premium tank. The AMX CDC is awfully tempting but the SU-122-44 is something i've been meaning to get.

As I've been taking more, I've really enjoyed medium play style as I've shied away from TDs, but I guess the SU still has decent maneuverability? I find that hard to believe having played through ISU, but wtf do I know?

I love love love my Su-122-44 but for the same price I would go with the CDC because as far as I have seen its a little rear end in a top hat tank thats probably gonna go up in price eventually. Its better than any regular Tier VIII and prints money. Shooting gold is not necessary.

I bought the 122-44 when they were giving out gold for playing Sky Aids: The Game World of Warplanes.

I have an aggressive play style because I am a selfish oval office that needs to be the best, and this tank fits like a glove. It's ok'ish accuracy means you can sit back if you want to take some shots, but this tanks meat and potato's is medium distance. Close enough to be accurate, far enough to not be punished. If you get in peoples faces, your DPM will make them poo poo their pants. If you manage to track an enemy at a distance and they don't have a kit, they are as good as dead because of this tanks DPM. Once you start to lay into an enemy, it is scary how quickly they melt.

So TL:DR - 122-44 is worth it.

Just remember that you don't have preferential MM, but with that being said, T9 games have the potential for crazy amounts of XP and credits.

Wow, personal best game ever, in a BDR G1 B, while dedicating each kill with a cry of ”more blood for the tank god!” :black101: Went on ten kill streak to win the match. Afterward one of my teammates messaged me saying ”holy poo poo!"

I replied, "the tank god will guide your shots if you dedicate yourself to them."

Later I decided to watch a tank movie I had heard about, called "White Tiger", and halfway through I find out that I didn't invent the god of tanks.. He wears a gas mask and coveralls and drives a gilded T34, and sits on a throne with all of the departed tanks at his feet. :jihad:

I use Aslains. If you get the installer version it has basically every mod you'd want in it and you can pick and choose to make something that works for you. Pretty much everything has an example screenshot if you click on more details so you don't have to go by trial and error.

Just freexp'd the last 12,000 of the AMX 12t so I could use the light sale and crew training discount, and holy poo poo I'm glad I did. ELC is zippy and small and fun to tool around in but for battles it's just not my thing, that TD-'turret' especially. The 12t is a glorious upgrade, glad I didn't quit the line.

OMC is just like this, convenient installer with all the mods and previews for most of them. I use OMC but they're both good, just different flavors, you can't go wrong if you choose one of the two.
