I've got a bunch of free XP that I'm not sure what to use it on. - I'm midway through the Tiger and am currently thinking that I save it to help me through the Tiger II in order to get to the E75 (and E100 eventually). - I'm halfway through the grind to the ISU-152, which was the original plan, but I'm guessing that the SU-152 plays so similarly that I'm better off spending the XP somewhere else and just slowing chipping away towards the ISU? - I'm also sitting on 50k on my Jumbo Sherman so I can go to either the T20 or the T29 - I'm almost through the Chaffee so could use it in getting the T37 kitted out and work towards the Walker Bulldog, but I'm pretty bad at this game and light tanks are even harder. - I've just unlocked the KV-85 but I was useless in the KV1-S and after using the Sherman for so long I can't handle the awful gun depression so I think I might just leave that line there for now until I feel like a change. - I also have the Lowe and FCM 50t, of which I really enjoy the Lowe. Having finally figured out reverse angling and good hull-down spots on maps I'm making the most of the amazing gun. Any thought on where I should go (other than botes, I'm not in the beta)? I was leaning towards the T20 to get a good medium tank but apparently the line tapers out after that? Would prefer to work towards decent Tier IX medium tank. The E75 is probably another good alternative but I'm not sure how bad the Tiger II grind would be?

Chewed out a 46%er who failed into an ST-I for being a coward. Felt goodman. Basically it was the end of the match with him with 9hp and an IS versus a tortoise. I kept telling them that one needed to draw a shot so the other could side swipe, but the ST-I kept saying he didn't want to die and the IS kept trying to go hull down head-on against the Tortoise. Naturally they both died.

The number of stock tanks that are not poo poo is low. This is very true for the ISU-152 as without the top gun BL-10 you are either throwing gold all the time in the 152mm gun or throwing gold all the tim in the 122mm guns that are good at teir 6 but are very bad when you face teir 10's. The T20 is one of the better teir 7 mediums but teir 7 heavys, lights and TD's are much better than the mediums. The long 88 is ok at teir 8 if you a ready to feed it gold when needed so the grind isn't as bad as others and the tank itself is one of the better 8's

Never again. T20 and T29 are both certified good + fun tanks (you will need to free XP the 90mm on the T29 if you don't get it on the M6/T20; Just free XP it anyways) that lead to certified good + fun tanks. Tiger II is a little weak in the current t8 meta, but E75 and E100 are both strong.

Tiger II is a little weak in the current t8 meta, but E75 and E100 are both strong. Depends on what you enjoy playing most? American Heavies: T29 is the god of T7 heavies. T32 has no gun improvements, but a better turret. M103 requires a lot of XP. American Mediums: T20 is average at everything, but fails to wow in any particular way. Pershing is the same as the T20 until you learn how to play it effectively (about when you unlock the Patton). The Patton requires A LOT of XP or you are playing a pershing with worse MM. German Heavies: Tiger II can bully other T8 heavies on city maps and forces you to learn how to sidescrape. E75 is the god of T9 heavies and take side scraping to the next level. E100 HEAT, need I say more? For clarification: I have the Patton(T9), hate it and didn't keep any tanks in the line. I unlocked the E5, didn't buy it, and only kept the T29 in the line. I have E100, love to poo poo on people with HEAT, and kept everything from the 3601 through the E100.

The tier 9 Patton is great, man. The accuracy could stand to be better but the amazing gun handling makes that sort of a moot point except when sniping. It's a really solid medium that's not bad at anything, really. Sure, it doesn't bounce things like the T-54 or the E-50, but you rarely need to take a hit considering how amazingly good it is at snapshotting and going hull down. It's just a really comfortable tank to play. Oh, and take camo as a crew skill, it actually does have decent-ish base camo.

The T20 is better than average I would say. It is quite nimble and has great speed tied to a gun with pretty high alpha for a medium and great depression. Really it was one of the few tier 7's that was quite pleasing to drive.

Never again. The T20 is nice and has a good gun but while the Comet has a worse gun it is a better all round tank. The Pershing is a good all round tank but doesn't excel at anything. The Pattons are the same all rounder's that are just not as good as the Russians. The T29 is a great tank in a field of great tanks. A turret front made of bullshit and a decent gun and relatively mobile. The T32 has an even better turret front but the same gun with a slight RoF increase and that's it. Very underwhelming. The line then takes a right turn with decent all round heavy's that don't excel at anything. I can't say anything about the others as I haven't got them but the top gun on the ISU is a stereotypical doom cannon, the guns leading up to it are bad for a tier 7, never mind 8. For American lights they are all great up to the Bulldog, the T49 is a gimmick tank like the KV-2. Fast, mobile with ok guns that can deal with the sides and rears of most things you can face. But if you don't like dancing like a butterfly and stinging like a bee they are not for you unless you do organised groups as you cannot rely on pubbies to shoot what you light up. Still nothing as fun as schooling a tier 9 heavy in a tier 7 light.

Really it was one of the few tier 7's that was quite pleasing to drive. The T20 is really good. It's not as strong at top tier as a Comet but otherwise it's more than competitive with any non T29 tier 7 tank. It can carry tier 9 games on a fairly regular basis. I think most players must have immediately abandoned the T20 when they unlocked the Pershing, and forgotten about it. The Pershing is strong but the T20 is significantly stronger at its tier.

Hahahahaha they nerfed the 183s AP pen to 288 and did not buff it in any way. That's rich. Also I'll trade a 5% pen nerf for a 12% bloom buff on the Bat. Way more hits for slightly more bounces? Sold. We'll see how the E4 buff works - you shoot APCR out of it more for the insane shell speed than anything else. And as we all know, you should snapshot constantly in the E4 already.

Those arty view range changes supposed to stop the amount of idiots being shotgunned by them or what because I got shotgunned by one hiding in a bush like 50m away that my 440m + view range Pershing failed to see because I dunno. Speaking of Pershings I elited mine yesterday yay I guess, the Patton don't look fun unless I get a lot more free exp than I have so gently caress that for now. Also I bought a T37 cause it's 30% off and I'm thrifty - looking at it I'm thinking the normal gun is better than the autoloader, right?
