This is why I always enjoy running into pubs with the 76. Also, I'm pretty sure you're massively understating the DPM advantage that the 57mm has. Admittedly mine has vents and a rammer, but I poo poo out one 85 damage shell every 1.94 seconds. I have like 2600 DPM, which is just obscene for tier 5. The top turret brings the base RoF up to ~26. The A-43/44 actually get competitive reloads on the 76mm, so it becomes an option then, but the 57 is a goddamn beast at tier 5 on the T-34.

srb posted:

It's not 1500 vs 1200 DPM for the 57 vs the 76, it's 2200 vs 1200 DPM.

There's definitely a difference between nominal vs. actual DPM (the latter taking into consideration equipment and such) but I did the calculation by looking at the gun modules in the garage. This was with my little bro's account open, which doesn't have any of this stuff researched. My account does, and I'm assuming this factored into the mistake because the >2000 DPM numbers sound more familiar. The RoF might just be boosted hugely by the top turret and I couldn't see that without anything researched on that tank.

Blindeye posted:

I've already switched back to the 57, no worries. The DPS argument wasn't convincing to me early on when I used the T-34 because I didn't find myself out of cover for very long. If I was thinking in terms of single shot, run, reposition, take a shot, the DPM seemed to matter less. Also I had a bad habit of never, ever using APCR unless it was absolutely necessary. Now, not so much (oh but how my credits hurt from it!). My damage per game is climbing still with the 57, despite a horrific day yesterday of mostly tier 7 games I averaged about 470 damage per game so I must be doing something right.

Edit: Oh hey! Mark of Excellence on my T-34!

As for the 85 vs the 150, I was thinking in terms of which heavy line to go up, but this information is definitely useful to know. I already am starting to get used to the awful gun depression on my 1S so the 85 won't be that much of a shock to me, I suppose. I did unlock the T-34-85 yesterday and drat, it has the makings of a nice tank. Today I'm hoping to get the top tier gun for it because the current gun is godawful in accuracy and aim time. But once I get the big gun...:getin:.

The thing is, those heavies are all kind of mediocre. I have the tier 10 in both lines, and the only tank I haven't played is the ST-I (due to a split they made a long time ago.) The Soviet heavies are playable and have their strengths, but they're not for everybody. The guns are inaccurate and often low-pen (all the 122s except the M62 & BL-9), some of the tanks are easy to pen due to flat or just thin armor (IS-3, IS-8), and some are very slow (i.e. the KV line). That being said, I generally prefer quicker tanks, with better-behaving guns; many other players make these tanks work, and indeed I still have most of them in my garage. Ultimately, you can try out the lower-tiers (like where you're at, around tier 6-7) to see if you still like them before making the full time investment grinding to the 10.

Other nations' tanks have different characteristics which you may prefer. The German heavies have accurate, reliable guns, and the higher tiers have thick armor. The US heavies, in contrast, emphasize strong turrets with weaker hulls, and are comparable to fat medium tanks.

It was a tier 6 match in my easy 8. The match came down to a 3v4 at the end and when it came time to finish off their last two tanks, I only had 11 hp left. Finished the match with 3100 damage and four kills.

Also, in order to increase the number of IS-5 owners and taking into account the increased interest in it, we'll provide the top 1,500 participants who did not win an opportunity to purchase the IS-5 with Gold. Thus the total number of tank winners will be increased from 1,000 to 2,500.

There are a lot of tanks at tier 4 and some at tier 5 that have to think about how to pen an AMX 40, especially from the front.

The biggest weak spot that I remember off the top of my head is the driver's vision slits in the front. The armor is less sloped there so it's a good spot to shoot. I think there's also a tiny little cupola on top, but it's not an auto-pen like some cupolas are. It's just less sloped.

Driver slots on the front are a good spot but you can also aim for the bottom right/left of the front of the tank where it dips in just next to the tracks. I seem to have good luck shooting there. The top 1/3 of the sides is fairly easy to pen as is pretty much the entire rear end.
