For some terrible reason I want to try out arty with battle assistant. What line will be the best for t1-t5? Im not sure if I want to go beyond that yet.

Ooh I just realized the KV-2 line goes to an arty how is that one?

Yes. Yes! One more tier seven medium to join my Comet in the 'nearly as good as a T29' group!

The thing already has decent armor and good mobility and soft stats. There isn't much they can buff without making the whole tank ridiculous. Maybe just up the pen on the 88 or rate of fire on the 75?

Now if only they'd reduce the Comet's matchmaking weight so it isn't treated as a heavy we'll be in business. I think I get an Ace in the Comet every four or five games.

I second this. I used to use MSI Afterburner but shadowplay is so much more convenient. Afterburner does have more options in terms of recording though.

AMD cards basically do an AMD version of Shadow play through their gaming evolved app.

The Grille can do some sick damage. Granted it has a tiny arc but once you get that thing aimed tier 8s will weep.

Well, I know the S-51 used to be really good. I played through that line a long time ago.

I actually played the other Russian artillery at that tier, but the main difference is that the S-51 was faster and more maneuverable, while the one I played was a barn with a gun. They do great damage for that tier.

The S-51 is pretty bad nowadays. It, the T92, and the GW Panther were specifically targeted by the 8.6 arty nerfs.

If you can get the loving thing to hit its target it is a nasty bastard though. Hits like an arty 2 or 3 tiers higher than it. The tiny traverse arc and the extremely long reload time are trying.

The FV304 is the only fun arty IIRC. Or you can play the KV-2 with the illegal arty view mod, but I never used it and don't know how well it would work.

Well, yeah, if you can tame the RNG then all bets are off! Sadly you can't, so you better pick nicer arty.

Glad to see people are starting to figure out that the BP is the bestest tank.

That is the Stockholm Syndrome talking. Compared to the Churchill I and Churchill VII the Black Prince is indeed a better tank but that doesn't make it a good tank by any stretch of the imagination especially when you compare it to all of the other tier seven heavy tanks except for maybe the AMX M4 1945.

Huh that's interesting. Someone must have gone to the effort of submitting a real support ticket along with a replay and/or screenshots and gotten a sympathetic support tech who processed the ticket.

When I can't take pubbies anymore I've gone on drowning jags where I rotate dunking or crashing an Object 140, a Bat Chat or the FV4202 over and over and over until I get bored or I burn through a million plus credits in repair costs. I used to do it in all of my tier 10 mediums but I actually like the other ones and don't want to ruin my stats in them because I'm a vain stat-padding motherfucker.

Numerous people have claimed to have reported me (presumably via the in-game report system) and nothing has ever come of it.

It gets penned for damage through the track knees, and through the inside of the track sponson, which is just not acceptable. Good turret though.

Comfortable is how I'd rate the Black Prince. Its easy to drive, it will bounce a ton it shouldn't, the gun works well enough. The thing is, it isn't very good. Sure, compared to the poo poo parade that is the Church7 before it, the BP is incredible. But compared to most any other tier 7 heavy? Noooooope.

Wow, I am a total retard. Evidently I can access the alpha test forums in Armored Warfare, which means I was apparently invited into the Alpha focus testing at some point. Sad thing is I never got an email notifying me, and this is after I recovered my old deleted emails and junk folder just to see if I missed it.

Yup, I have to agree the steamrolling in matches really has gotten worse for some absurd reason. Winning doesn't even seem as much fun when its like that.

Yes, but you can now play Strongholds which are basically companies but with better rewards. Playing as a part of a semi-organized team and not having to deal with pubbie shitlers makes this game a lot more fun.

Run the 105mm on the M4 45, run only APCR, play it exactly like a T-43 or VK3002D. Congratulations, you have a 1200 hp tier 7 medium with 330 alpha, great DPM and insane pen, and the gun handling and armor problems don't matter anymore since you're face to face brawling and HP trading anyway.

The M4 45 is good with gold spam, which is way more than other bad tier 7s can say. Just having great pen and DPM makes it head and shoulders above other terrible tier 7s. It's basically a Chi-Ri with cheaper ammo and more pen and better DPM and more HP.
