the best thing about the type 59 was how before you could buy gold shells for credits you could bully lower tier and even some same tier tanks with impunity, so anybody who gets a type 59 now, somehow, is still missing out

Thank gently caress for x2 crew experience events. My Object 704 has Sixth Sense again for the first time since my ISU-122S crew took over from the old three-skill crew. Playing high tier TDs without Sixth is not great.

Now you can just load 240 pen shells and tell them to eat poo poo.

The laundry is no joke either, they had a real ARMED branded washing machine. I have a game from like two years ago where nine players on my team did 0 damage and my platoon was the only players with any killed we won.

Two questions is the Pershing worth selling my t20 to play mostly stock (aka everything possible to unlock through the t20 already unlocked)? The super Pershing: is it worth it as a crew trainer/credits generator, or should I just keep to t20 for those purposes?

The biggest grind I found on the Pershing was the engine. It's just a slug without it. The gun upgrade is nice, but not that huge IMO, and the 90mm carried over from the T20 has pretty amazing penetration with gold shells that will ease the grind greatly if you're willing to use them liberally.

ZombieLenin posted:Two questions is the Pershing worth selling my t20 to play mostly stock (aka everything possible to unlock through the t20 already unlocked)? I liked the super pershing a lot, I have over 700 battles in it. It's a good medium crew trainer with all the crew roles available, it is a pref 8 so the lack of silver pen isn't too bad, they buffed the armor so 220 pen guns have 50/50 chance it seems through the lower front plate, which is what a lot of t8 tanks have at that tier, and insane gold pen at tier (258 pen) if you run into difficulties. It's big disadvantages are basically non existent side armor so don't angle too much or anything will go through, weak engine so climbing hills and moving all over the map is a folly, and the somewhat easily hit cupola (which can be mitigated by swinging your turret and gun around to bounce or absorb a shot). I would say its a good american premium tank, which while it has no carry abilities due to its speed, it can go toe to toe with heavy tanks. I can make up to 100k credits on a good game otherwise hp in dmg is about 30-40k credits.

I decided to look at ARMED again to see if they have improved since the washing machine days. No, no they have not. I'm not very good, having only a 51.8 or something winrate but this means that I have a better winrate than all but three of their members. Their commander is worth a special mention, having a 44% winrate. How does someone like that get 79 other people to follow him, with nearly all of them being better than he is? Pictured: Every single member of ARMED who has higher than a 50% winrate.

Seriously, if they wanted to make armour more important they should have reduced the penetration values instead of making it harder to hit where you're aiming.
