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
This. The M6 is a hilarious rammer. Way back when I was still doing my T29 grind in it, I drove off the south-eastern lip hill in Artic Region and smacked a Hellcat with my LFP. One shot it and took no damage in return. No spall liner since I'm a cheapskate and don't put any non-Camo Net/Binocs on anything lower than T7 unless it's the special-est snowflake. (Rammer on the old KV-1S)

Hull down's hard since it's slightly chunkier than a T1 so hopefully you honed your 'peek-a-boom' skills from the T1 Heavy (hiding behind stuff, popping out, shooting things and reversing back with your supreme engine power.)

There's a mod that auto-equips/unequips repair kit, binocs and camo. Pretty useful to have on lower tier tanks.

I was wondering for a second why you were using a stock gun on your M41 for a while, then I checked the chat, then I looked and said, "that's a Tiger 2 behind you dude" and then I checked that corpse again. 278 average WN8 in his Derpershing.

e: http://www.wotstats.org/stats/na/bytor62/

dude has 110 games in his Matilda and a 133 average WN8. The Tier 4 one. Yeah, the one that's literally impenetrable by most tier 3s and a lot of tier 4s.

Was playing some arty over the weekend to try and get missions done. I'm in tier 5 arty and get Steppes south in a tier 7 match, and head to a spot just south of the cap circle in the bushes. Pretty happy as there's a lot of hp to go after, and it's an open map.

T25/2 pipes up with "Stock Gun"

I reply "It's the hellcat gun which is amazing"

"Whatever" is the reply. He's a 600 wn8 orange player, but I've seen worse...

I'm tunnel visioned a little on targets and then I look at my mini-map, when I notice that mr top tier T25/2 is behind me up in the hills on the map. So far back that there is no way he could even be in draw distance to the action on the map.

I ask "Why is there a TD behind the arty?"

No reply...

Then a Leo with 50hp breaks through and charges towards us. The T25/2 does shoot him, but only after he's lit all the arty on our team and says "That's why" :iceburn:

Our arty all got smoked (including me), we lost, and he ended the game with 1 kill and 50 damage done. What really grates me, is that I bet he feels justified in his decision, and will proceed to sit there in every tank he owns for the foreseeable future.

I've only had the tank for a little while and unlocked the autoloader first. It is a blast when you can get behind someone and unload an entire clip in their rear. But too often I find myself not getting out of situations quickly enough because I want to unload just one more shot from the clip, so I'm switching to the regular gun for a bit once I unlock it.

To be honest, I'm pretty sure that person didn't even understand half of what you were saying. I mean, from a language standpoint.

That's what I most envy the US players, their pubbies at least speak the same language most of the time.

I'm actually pretty sure part of the reason I've never been chatbanned in this game is because so many players don't even understand I'm insulting them, because I keep calling them "illiterate drooling savages" or "knuckle-dragging paint huffers" instead of "gay poo poo noobs report".

I am pretty sure the T28C is just better than the T28. The extreme traverse and no cupola on top gives it a very abusable armor layout. The T28 just has "shoot me here" domes on top and "shoot gold here" flat front plate with the engine behind it. Also it goes reasonably fast in a straight line even if it cannot turn at all.

You'd think that by tier 7, 8 and 9 they would have realized that armor penetration mechanics exist, and that the damage they deal is not the same as the damage listed.

It's even gated behind the turret upgrades. One of the derpshings was a 1k wn8 ("green") player who fired 104mm pen HEAT at the front of an IS-6 instead of attacking a RhmB from above with HE.
