You could maybe justify taking off the gun rammer on absurdly fast-firing tanks like the T-34, but I haven't tried it.

Rammer is a 10% boost though, which is far more then the minor boost vents add. On just about any vehicle there is a better choice for equipment then vents.

Unless the intradrum reload time is awful, I can really see that thing popping out, rattling off its trio of shots, then scooting away. Based on the dpm and rof stated, it's got 3sec between shots.

Is it just me, or is the stock KV-1 just horrible? I can't punch through other heavies and I'm lagging behind the battle mostly. Churchill III is nice. The learning curve to use a heavy is challenging because I love sniping and speed but it's growing on me. VV I have to research that gun still, I've only upgraded the tracks and engine, because I've been taking time to play the Churchill with the same crew. I keep getting owned by arty because of my speed/lack of leveled repair skills. Ah well, I can feel the difference on my lovely tier IVs now that their crews are 100% Blindeye fucked around with this message at 01:15 on May 7, 2015 |

Use the 57mm - it's an actual viable option over the 85mm and 122mm for tournaments depending on what you need it to do. The Russian 76mm is the worst gun in the game.

The KV-1 is one of the best tier 5 tanks, but you do need repairs and knowledge of the map so your slow speed is not as much of a handicap. Also the stock gun is complete trash, literally any other gun is a viable choice. The 57 mm gun will make the tank similar to the Churchill though.

I just don't have breakaway games like I get sometimes with the M3 and T-28. I am having trouble getting to the battle and getting 500+ damage consistently because my crew has no skills. I'm also struggling a bit because as the slower heavy in groups, I have most shots blocked by allies. Anyone have particular random battle strategies?

That new scout tank looks sweet. Blindeye, the Churchill is great at bullying other tanks due to how fast it shoots, so long as you can make the shots count. Avoid trying to go up against KVs 1v1 if you can avoid it, and since your armor is unreliable most of the time try and make sure someone else is there to take the hits for you. Tier 5 games tend to be pretty chaotic so it can be hard to come with any concrete battle strategies that work all the time, but it's the same for essentially all tanks: avoid trading HP unfavorably.

It really is the best tier V premium. Such a great crew trainer too thanks to that crazy XP bonus. However, I actually have a dedicated crew for it because none of those other plebians are fit to enter the Lord of All Tanks, the mighty Churchill III. The Churchill III exists to serve itself and itself only. Driving the Churchill III is its own reward and should only be done in the name of the glory that is the Churchill III, not for the lesser concerns of lesser tanks. For His is the sealclubbing, the LMB-holding, and the pubbie tears. APCR.

Oh right I forgot to share this. The enemy platoon #1 was not very good, and they had some frankly brilliant excuses as to why they weren't very good:  Really bummed that none of them actually took me up on the 1v1 offer. I guess I should have suggested a 3v1. Seriously though please stop taking over control of enemy players' tanks and making them look like they're loving morons.

I cast a wide net by being a giant rear end in a top hat and also calling out the worst players. There are so many the worst players. If you have a good winrate and a large number of battles (>60% and >10k games cause those are nice even numbers) try saying this at the start of battle - "Anyone with a winrate below 50% has proven themselves too irresponsible to be allowed to be top tier. Please choose to improve." You'll get so many 48%s frothing at the mouth it is ridiculous.

I still haven't heard if they have fixed MM, but supposedly the T-34-85 *will* have the upgraded 85mm (or rather, a version of the lesser 85mm that has the upgraded 85mm's stats), thereby making the T-34-85M a giant pile of poo poo by comparison even if it *doesn't* get pref MM. Also, the "free BIA" thing is sort of a trap, because it's a premium crew you'd have to retrain to get any use in with any other tank (500 or 1000g depending on a retraining discount, or suffer grinding it back up with 0% repair). Oh yeah, and the dog barks when you land shots, I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H38OOIzjwVw The Rudy's definitely the cherry out of the lot.

Is there any comparsion how the T-34-85/IS-2/Cromwell B fare against their regular versions? Especially with stuff like terrain resistance or bloom. I certainly wouldn't mind having a Cromwell that prints even more credits than usual.

Evidently the Cromwell B gets sickening terrain passage buffs: http://www.reddit.com/r/WorldofTanks/comments/351o59/cromwell_b_t3485_rudy_and_russian_is2_compared_to/ I'm not saying it isn't good, I'm just saying since the highest-tier British MT I have is the Firefly, I won't get as much use out of it as I would the Rudy. The Cromwell B also packs the top gun's stats with a lesser gun's name. People have said good things about the IS-2 as well, but quite honestly the Churchill III and KV-220 are vastly superior HT crew trainers already. They certainly know if you want two of them, that you'll almost certainly fish for the full package. However, if you buy the Rudy and Cromwell B singularly, you get 8600g and the tanks for $71.98, while the full package comes with all four tanks for $74.99 but only adds 30d of premium time, while you effectively get three months of premium (or whatever the gently caress you want to spend 8.6k gold on) buying the Rudy and C-B alone.

On paper, the Cromwell B is straight-up better than the maxed-out original. Turret bloom on the 75mm (which is actually a Vickers HV in disguise) is slightly worse, but its supertracks make it turn on a dime and fly across normal terrain. The radio and HP pool are a little better, too.

I think I have a little Primelaw in me. I'm down for buying them all, getting four more crews with 100% on first skill, and getting to keep good tanks in my garage. Is the Cromwell B really better than the actual Cromwell? Same HP/t and crazy good terrain resistance and traverse speed would be a nutty buff to an already great tier six.
