People who stop the Object 268 line at the ISU-152 and think the Object 704 isn't worth it, you're wrong: http://wotreplays.com/site/1935191#self

Highlights:
- 2000+ damage blocked by armor
- autoaim snapshotting an AMX 30 in the side while traversing, setting him on fire
- getting called a gold noob by two separate people

The Object 704 is one of my favorite tanks in the entire game and by far my best winrate tank at higher tiers (73% over ~150 games, and that's at least half solopubbing - I'm nowhere near that in any of my other tier 9's). Oneshotting tier six dumbfucks is funny occasionally but seriously gently caress the ISU and its lovely gun handling and fragility. Real men play assault guns, only fire gold, autoaim snapshot things and aren't afraid to brawl it up with E100's (they can and will bounce HEAT on you).
yeah but i'd have to play hundreds of games in TDs to get it and i don't like TDs (when they don't have turrets)

Heey, so the history of the fv 4202 was finally found. And I am still absolutely confused on wargaming's choice of it considering as mentioned in this article to be an experimental vehicle to test various system including a new turret turret but without a mantlet.

And yes, it is funny that armored warfare has the news on the development of it.
Hmm.

quote:

The dominance of the firepower was, however, undisputed. At first, the British looked at some rather unorthodox solutions – one (as well as attempts to cut the cost of such vehicles) was the Prodigal project. This was an attempt to create a very light (and cheap) tank killer. There were multiple Prodigal variants (some for example with twin 120mm recoilless guns) and some were so small they could, with a bit of exaggeration, be classified as tankettes. The pinnacle of Prodigal development was a 30 ton vehicle equipped with an automatically-loaded 120mm L11 variant, found recently in the archives by David Lister

Yeah, they changed the dispersion so that shots go close to the center, but not exactly in the center. Of course this had the added bonus of screwing over arty.

What I've learned today: Dandy's brother drinks white wine spritzers...and is a total pansy. Adrudh can not order pizza online properly. My food choices are in fact "Crazy" and that the AMX 13 French arties shooting APCR is some of the funniest poo poo when you're hitting things. Also I don't know what has changed in my play but I am hovering around 60% WR for my last 60 days 63% in the last 30 and 65.5% for for my last ~120. Now the question is if that's just a coincidence or if something has actually clicked with me again and I'm able to sustain it.

Also in the previous shot dispersion changes both the aim time and the gun accuracy values were increased considerably.

Splash damage is a funny thing sometimes.

And the AT2 is probably the most fun out of all the British TDs. I recall that it has the highest percentage of shots bounced off its armor in the game. The rest of the line is slow, various amounts of front armor and excellent gun handling with no alpha.

Don't get me wrong, the AT2 is hilarious if you can 1: deal with going at painfully slow speeds and 2: get people that don't know how to aim at the cupola/mantlet, but the Alecto is just pure, unbridled fun. I mean poo poo, it has a bigger gun than an ELC, at tier 4.

gently caress, it's a better artillery peice than the tier 4 brit artillery. That thing has a smaller weapon, worse accuracy and a slower fire rate! :v:

They're effectively just removing CW gold for the duration of the event, though. Any clan that wants to do this campaign is doing it to earn as many members the tank as possible. Any CW gold earned during the event would be put toward subsidizing the members' 12k gold purchase of the IS-5, and then for CW 2.0 those IS-5s will be used to earn the clan resources and influence in strongholds.

It's like poetry, it rhymes.

The proper way to drive the ELC is to run around your team's side of the map for the first 4 minutes never taking your finger off W. Score points for rad jumps and kick flips and poo poo (try not to inflict too much damage on yourself in the process). By the end of the match nobody will know what the hell you actually did and thus can't call you out for not doing anything. If you get a chance, in between turning small bumps into amazing evil kinevil type jumps, it would help to kill some arty.

While doing radical kick flip jumps in your ELC feel free to auto aim snap shot enemies while mid air to score sic bonus points.

McGavin

The key to the ELC and scout tanks in general is to never engage an enemy when you are the sole focus of his attention. Either passive or active scout until enemies become spread out then find alone or distracted targets to attack. Patience and the willingness to hold fire or disengage are key.
