^ properly played, yes. Also will consume credits like a fat man at a free buffet. Be careful with the IS7 right now though, with the prevalence of T10 tds, unless you're hull down, they can and will shoot straight through your front no matter how you're angled. You have one of the lowest HP pools for a T10 heavy, in what used to be a "bouncy" tank, but no longer, due to power creep.

For the most part, the matchmaking works like this Tier 1 sees up to tier 2. Tier 2 sees up to tier 3. Tier 3 (and all tiers after it) see up to 2 tiers higher. A few special tanks only see one tier higher, usually premium tanks. Light tanks at tier 4 and up see tanks up to 3 tiers higher instead. Tier 3 specifically is a bit of a suck point because the KV-1 is at tier 5, and a lot of tier 3 guns just cannot penetrate it A: at all or B: if it is angled whatsoever.

The AwfulPanther replacement is a LT with a 90mm autoloader and a 3 round drum. Kinda looks like a T71. Only 3 rounds means it can't kill a similar tier scout in one drum though, but you will leave them with about 1/3 of their health left. Bulldogs will eat this thing alive though. Also it will be another hilarious tank to shoot HE at, 10mm of armor for the most part, so party on.

Reason posted:How does matchmaking work? My highest tier tank is a tier 3 and I keep getting matched against tanks that my guns won't penetrate. I'm bad at this game, but that doesn't seem to happen when I play my tier 2 and tier 1 tanks Generally like this: When you are grinding the stock tank you put into a bunch of situations where you're a top tank, but you have the stock gun that is two tiers lower than the tanks you are facing and everybody on your team is constantly wondering why you suck so much. As soon as you get enough XP for the top gun and turret, you will be thrown into matches two tiers ahead. Your armor can't bounce anything and your gun still can't pen anything and your teammates will wonder why you suck so much. Every now and again after you are fully upgraded you will have some situations where you are the top tank again, but don't get excited. These matches always end with getting blasted by artillery or getting ammo racked by the first round that penetrates your tracks and your teammates will wonder why you suck so much.

maev posted:Is it better enough than the E-50 tier for tier to make it worth the purchase? No. The E-50 is my pick for best t9 medium tank but the 50M is more middle of the pack. The 50M is probably the best generalist of the t10 mediums, and I'd say it's comfortably above the median, but the STB and Batchat are clearly much better, even if they sacrifice a fair bit to specialize. It's also got the lowest DPM of any t10 medium, but it does make it work with 0.3 accuracy, good handling, the highest penetration by a tiny margin (though it's really only the French, Chinese, and Japanese mediums that have noticeably lower silver pen), and accepable depression. It also has the best armour on a medium except maybe the 430. I'd say it's worth the purchase but keep the E-50 too.

Just to clear up a potential misunderstanding, as I've actually seen pubbies claim they use lower tier guns so they get better MM, your modules do not affect your matchmaking at all. There's supposedly a rule in the matchmaker where it tries to make your first ten games in a new tank top tier games, but it's not a hard rule and being in a platoon forfeits that.

I'd say E-50/M are between medium and heavy in role/performance. Either way both are worth keeping.

TheFluff posted:I didn't really mind the 50 120 much. Finicky to play, sure, and not exactly a great tank, but I did decently in it. You can carry games in it. Definitely. On more than one occasion, during the cleanup phase, I killed 3 tanks with one magazine. That 120 really makes the tank. I remember in one match, when platooned with another goon, we were chatting about the T-54 and its armor as I casually penetrated the front of the turret with that gun (AP).

Sorry man, I can't speak for anyone else but I've been busy with work and haven't had a chance to fire up the gaming PC. Looking at it right now, here are my thoughts in response to your questions: 1. That position is definitely too far back. It's only useful if the enemy pushes around, and if they do that they'll probably overwhelm whatever forces your team has in the East anyway. The problem in this instance is that the ISU can't really afford to get caught out in the open due to its lack of mobility, armor, and reload time, but it's not accurate enough to snipe at long range. I think in this case you were in the right area because you had support from your team though. If you're asking about that position in general, however, then the answer would depend on the tank you're driving and the composition of the teams. 2. I'd say that was a bad trade. It worked out, but in general you want to preserve your HP for the late game, and I would not recommend driving out in front of two enemy tanks both facing your way. If one or both were distracted that might've been another story, but you risked getting detracked and taken out for one shot. The ISU is too potent to risk getting knocked out so early. On the other hand, you did delay those tanks, and they weren't smart enough to rush you while you reloaded (although only the KV-85 could've done that, the T28 is obviously too slow.) A trade like that can be what it takes to secure a win, but I wouldn't have made that move in this case. Agrajag posted:gently caress goons Grr gons, hat gons.

I've been trying to piece together my own but I've been having issues with the game crashing with the options I've been using. I wish they had shareable config files, because that would be a lot easier than having to type up a list or verbally tell others what mods to use. With that being said, you can still play around with the OMC modpack installer and come up with a setup that's mostly compatible. Any options you pick will almost always work together. The only time you will really have issues is right after a patch hits, before the mod makers have had a chance to work out all the bugs. If you see me on TS or in-game, though, hit me up and I can give you recommendations. CitizenKain posted:The AwfulPanther replacement is a LT with a 90mm autoloader and a 3 round drum.

I'm almost done with the grind though, so I might have to keep it temporarily to get the replacement tank because that thing looks interesting. Also, it's going to be called the SPIC, so that's pretty great.

Does the game pick default skills for your crew at some point? I have a crew that used to be in my IS-4 (before I sold it) and has been sitting in my Churchill III for a while. Their initial repair skills reached 100% and now they're all training misc secondary skills that I never chose for them. I thought you had to specifically pick skills for each crew member. edit: Also, can I change these skills with gold or credits somehow? I really want sixth sense on my commander at least.
