Is it the new normal for 76mm shells from my M18 to hit Tigers at a flat angle on the side and do literally nothing?

So just had my first match in my shiny new T-54 Obr.47 and drat son, this is the tank that fits my play-style. The turret traverse is a bit slow for my liking but it can be worked around. The gun is great and reloads fast, 8.6s with my crew in that slot, which removes a big part of my frustration with the IS-3 where I would get on a an amazing flank, but only have the ability to shoot one or twice before I am noticed. now I should be able to get three to fours shells off in the same time frame.

Just played Finland 7 times in a row!

After getting sniped for the millionth time in RB, I decided to try out AB to see where people are hiding, where they are sniping from, and more importantly, figuring out where the safe routes are to travel from place to place (there are none). An interesting bonus of all those bright red tags showing up everywhere...

I've just picked up the Yak-3 and jeez everything's gotten so much more lethal at BR 4.0, or at least it feels that way. Has something changed I didn't notice or are pubbies just better?

Is Finland a T4+ tanks only map or have I been stupidly unlucky riding T2-T3?

Inexplicably rare but it appears at BR 1 even.

I have no idea why but it seems tank rotation locks on one map for ages so tank maps are always very slow. Finland, meanwhile, always appears to be a one-shot map.

Its not a one shot map at Tier 5, seems the MM loves to use it for T5 matches and as a result I have played that buggy mess far to often since the patch has been released.

Actually both the Yak-9T and 9K have similar or higher BRs than the Yak-3 (2xMG, 1x Cannon) so nothing should have changed. The Yak-3P was rasied to BR 4.7 and thus can encounter high end Props. While the Yak-3 (PREMIUM) is BR 5.7 and might actually get into Jet fights.

If someone rejected you ages ago your application won't show up anymore. Maybe try reapplying.

Also, given how full LAME is, I'm considering going on a Dryerlint-esque purge.

I get it enough that I dropped a buck to get the 150 eagles I'd need for winter camo on the T-34-100 and boy howdy is it effective. You might as well be cloaked until you fire, and even then it's likely the Tiger II you shot at was scoped in and won't be able to spot you when he scopes out to look around.

22 rounds of T34 spading later I finally got Finland :woop:
Then oneshot by an F2 from across the map. Felt pretty Finland in winter until then, or early-late Spring after a snowy winter with ice cracking up like that. There were winters back then where you could drive, ski if you were nuts, walk if you were truly hosed up from Finland to Sweden.

The HEAT rounds the T-54 1951 gets are amazing. It's so nice finally being able to gently caress up every tank in the game, especially Mice. Now they're just big dumb slow lumps :unsmigghh:

A Maus driver raged the gently caress out at me super hard after I one shotted him by popping his massive fuel tanks through his front plate at 1700 meters on Hurtgen forest with those rounds. Hurtgen is the best for that since the spawns are in clear view of each other pretty much, and only the Maus is huge and slow enough to reliably plug at that range.

No. It's easier to account for drop than to account for firing upwards if you're too close.

Personal preference, but I will say that it has very little relevance in RB, and none at all in AB.

The only bad thing with HEAT is that you need a completely clear view of the target, you can't shoot through stuff.
