Was gonna say even if you didn't post that, the AMX 40's 75mm gun is really bad and it doesn't have considerably better DPM than the Valentine.

The reload speed on the AMX 40 gun is objectively awful even when you're on top and can play around the pen issues. Same for the Valentine, and at least its guns have some pen. But lol 9 rpm with a 75mm gun, or 13 with a sixpounder on the Valentine. If I'm gonna play a tier4 with crippling flaws and one good aspect (which I won't), I'd rather play the Lee and it's crazy 20 rpm with its 75mm gun than the AMX 40 and its armor

Teron D Amun posted:I think everyone just forgot that the M3 Lee exists The M3 Lee is a TD with no accuracy, mobility, camo, armor, or pen, and with a horrific profile. It can still actually damage enemies assuming you're close enough to hit, lucky enough to pen, and aren't instantly focused due to having no survivability. The Valentine isn't so lucky. The AMX 40 does have armor unlike the Valentine. Sure it won't protect you from tier sixes or gold, but at least you won't be eaten by tier threes who DPM race you.

I've been hording my CW gold, at 8k right now. What tanks should I shoot for buying? I already got: T-25, Church 3, EXCELSIOR!, 122-44, T34, FCM and CDC. I was thinking on just hording more just in case the T54 Proto is as balling as people say.

Wait there's people who say the T-54 proto is balling? I thought I was its main defender and my stance on it is that it's a worse Type 59 ruined by standard MM.

Mesadoram posted:Rita on her totally not SS report said that: I really hope that is true. It would be amazing to have a good premium medium (Matilda IV doesn't count, it's too slow) to nob about in with my Soviet crew. I'm going to be trying for the Chi-Nu Kai even though I really don't give a toss for the Japanese tanks. Probably going to pick up some of the tier V crew trainers while they're at 50% off as well. Ram II, T14, Matilda BP. Maybe an Excelsior as well. If I go properly mental I might pick up another tier 8 premium (I already have the IS-6), but I'm not sure which one. Lowe or T34? I don't have any German heavies, I do have a T29 (but no current interest in going up the tree) so the T34 makes more sense I guess. Or I'll just wait for the T-54 proto.

Oh yeah, the Matilda IV is a genuinely wonderful tank, apparently the one I perform best in, in fact. It's just slow as gently caress. I want to get my Meep Meep on with my (soon to be) five skill crew.

IF, and this is a big if, you already had a premium that you sold (like I did, because I'm the master of horrible life choices) that is not being currently sold by our WG masters, then once ever six months you can recall one of those tanks to your collection. So! If you had the most magical clicker machine in the past, and you haven't called up worse choices than I make, then the le foof is yours, once again.

Apparently the WFTE100 was a bit on the weak side on test as well. Also hardly anyone fires gold shells. It's a bad (equal e:(i'm probably being too generous here) if you're really fond of the thicker UFP) version of the Type 59 with full MM. Still I expect that some people'll take to it. Even the Super Pershing has fans, after all. Prav fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Apr 9, 2015 |

I already got: You should probably buy any t8 pref premiums that you want, since it's looking like WG is going to phase them out. Personally I'm wondering if I should grab the CDC or wait for 9.8 where the T-54 proto is available for gold. Or I could wait a really long time and get both if they go on sale, I think I have enough gold on hand for that.
