I'm thinking of taking a bit of a break from my Soviet tanks (I'm at tier 9 on mediums, ten on the IS heavy line, eight for arty and seven for lights). Preferably in favour of something with gun depression (gently caress Soviet design doctrine) and accuracy. How are the British heavy and medium lines?

Edit: And how do the Excelsior and Matilda BP stand up as crew trainers compared to the Matilda IV and Churchill III?

Why did they remove the T14 and TOG from the store?

Because then they can charge a premium for them later on in gift shop packages.

The Excelsior plays like a hybrid of the T14 and Churchill III - if you can get one on sale (or even off-sale, it's 1500g vOv) it'll prove invaluable once the Brits get a T10 heavy worth using in CW. The Matilda BP, however, is complete garbage. Avoid at all costs. The T-34-85M, even without pref MM, is a superior medium crew trainer for the Russians...too bad it'll probably be a while before they offer it for sale again.

The Excelsior is a better tank than the Churchill, but doesn't get the 30% boost to xp like the Church 3 gets. It's fine.

The Matilda BP is worthless. Do not buy it. Do not play it if you get it for free. Worse in literally every way to the Churchill 3, and can run out of ammo.

Couple of thoughts:

When does a new player get stats that appear via XVM? Is it based on a number of battles or minimum time since account creation? I'm asking for a friend.... :ninja:

The VK3001H is hot garbage. Imagine a medium tank, but remove its nice gun and usable top speed. Now let it take tons of module/crew damage through its paper armor. Voila! You have the VK3001H!

Vents or optics are both fine. Be sure to beeline to the 90mm gun as fast as possible, that really makes the tank work.

Gld, rammer, optics. Sit back use your pen. 160 silver is enough to punch through most 7s the 240 apcr will pen everything. The 6 doesn't really have armor but the gun handles nicely and the DPM is quite good. It scoots pretty well for its size so ramming can lead go some pretty funny results.

Do you like trashy stuff on the internet? I like trashy stuff on the internet. From a "friend" of a friend, and I thought I got angry:

gently caress the Catholic Church. And yes, I was indoctrinated before I was able to make any informed decision as a child into Catholicism. As an adult male I have had sex with THREE Catholic priests, only one of whom was honest about it, after the fact. The Papacy is organized crime exemplified. Mother Teresa is responsible for more AIDS deaths in Africa than all the unprotected gay sex that has ever happened in all the gay bars in New Orleans combined. If you are Catholic and this offends you, get off my page. I don't need any "friends" who buy into the hypocrisy of the One True Church's bullshit and propaganda. gently caress the church and gently caress their sheeple. ALL religion is poison, and if you are buying into the crap about the softer, gentler pope, you are an idiot and know nothing about Catholicism. Again, not up for a discussion about this, so be forewarned. Offended? Get off my page.

Happy delusional belief day to all of my religious friends of whatever mythical subscription you rely on to create an external locus of control over your lives and by which you create a moral context for your life based on others' beliefs and traditions as opposed to intrinsically searching for the beauty of existence and the desire to do good just for the sake of doing good. I can not respect your indefensible beliefs, but if you are on my friends list, I respect you, otherwise you would not be reading this message. I love you in spite of your religion, as you love me in spite of my reliance on science, empiricism, and my whole hearted devotion to heathenism, debauchery, and my belief that religion has done far more damage than good throughout history. As one of my friend's grammys said, "If two people were just alike, one of them would be unnecessary."

a spall liner for the comedy ramming options, the M6 has one of the best power/weight ratios in game (just don't try to ram a KV)

unlocking the 90mm will also help you out in the T29 because you do not want to start with the 76mm in Tier7-9 matches it sees
