So tomorrow will be jammed packed with the premium Japanese tanks. So whats the best tank to go and shoot pubbies ? KV-1S with the 120mm? M4 with the derp? Pz4 with the derp?

Wolverine with derp fires 2-3 seconds faster than the M4 and has better camo without losing the turret :yotj:

So I've finally got enough scratch to get my first Tier 8. Given I enjoy the playstyle of both lines, have a 100% crew ready to go for either and would be doing them pretty much stock, should I get a Tiger II or an IS-3? What gear should go on them? Or should I just shoot myself to save myself from playing either?

IS-3 is better than the Tiger II but the E-75 and E100 (I hear) both are awesome and fun. The IS-8 is like a huge medium with a big gently caress off gun don't have an IS-7 though.

Anymore, I think I'd give the edge to the Tiger 2 over the IS-3. The IS-3 has been on the receiving end of a lot of re-balancing and just isn't the same. KT is still solid, does the generalist HT role well, and leads to the E-75/E-100 fun parade.

No, the IS-3 is more maneuverable and faster (unless it changed) and has those magical bullshit sides. Between that and the higher alpha gun it remains competitive in t9 and t10 battles where the Tiger II really struggles. Also in higher tier battles the Tiger II's armour is absolutely worthless outside of sidescraping where the IS-3 can still bounce the odd shell that hits the far side of the pike or its turret.

The Tiger II is probably the best generalist of the t8 heavies but I'd almost call it the worst of them. The 4502A is a big heavily armoured medium - while it's not the better at being a conventional heavy it has a different job that it does far better at that than the Tiger II does at being a generalist.

When I was playing my IS-3 recently it just didn't feel like it used to. The turret especially felt like people were constantly sailing shots through.
Its probably hard to go wrong with either of them though.

This is not the best blind kill shot I've ever made. It was however one of the hardest ones I've ever made. Nailed a moving chaffee from across the map while I myself was also moving as fast as I could, that had to hurt.

Base XP seems hosed Just had bad game in my T-34-2 got around 800 spotting damage and regular damage against same tier tanks and got 620 xp base without premium. For my 5x win I had 1,200 spotting damage and 3,000 damage done against higher tier tanks and my base xp was only 1,000 since it ended up giving me 5,000xp before premium. Something does not seem right about the 5x multiplier.

Killshots are vitally important for high base XP. Also sometimes the XP calculation just kinda messes up so don't worry about it.
