How does the T71 compare to the Bulldog? I currently own a T71 and want to hang onto it, but its crew is much better than my T37 crew, and I'm wondering if the Bulldog is so much better that it deserve the better crew.

Note that you bascially have to do it on purpose. Like, I deliberately highcentered myself to test it; you'd never go where I did on purpose. Pretty much any standard object or terrain feature like hills and such won't affected you outside of slowing you down. It is possible to get stuck in deep depressions (like the north water pond on that arctic map, you're still not getting out of there)

Why do you think this is? Physics throwing your tank around more or something? Or did they explicitly change accuracy values?

No, actually aiming is even smoother. There's practically no micro-bouncing anymore, the gun is amazingly stable in sniper mode. I think they did something to the dispersion, because snapshotting or firing while moving will throw shells all over the place.

I really hope this makes it live, because shithead heavies nailing my light tanks while we're both driving full speed and they're turning their turret really needs to end. I hope it's the opposite of now, where instead of snapshots being accurate and the inaccuracy coming on fully aimed shots, fully aimed shots are on loving rails and snapshots are completely worthless. Bonus if they make it practically impossible for arty to shotgun effectively because gently caress people (including me) who play arty.

Wargaming offers the B2 in the premium shop a couple times a year, much like the KV-5 and other "retired" tanks. The Type 59 has never been offered for sale after its removal from the game, which adds a lot to its ~*mystical aura*~

Yeah, with the type59 it is all about the mystical aura. Honestly, WG should put it into the store for an outrageous sum now and then just to troll the player base.
Back when the type59 wolf packs roamed the maps there was no gold ammo for credits and a +/-3 mm. That is not the case today, so I have a hard time seeing it would happen again.

The KV-5 kind of needs a buff. The IS-3 armor upgrade makes it basically immortal to the KV-5, fast enough to chase the KV-5 anywhere, and the BL-9 goes through any part of the upper half of the KV-5. Turns out making the IS-3 impenetrable to <210 pen guns had some consequences!

Buff all the tier 8 prefs and regular tier 8s. Make tier 10 players work for it.

To be fair, you are a clan WR booster loser.... :rolleyes:

You should've pointed him towards ARMED or TOST or any of the millions of terrible pubbie clans where they all have <48% WR. It'd have been interesting to see his response when confronted with that.

The T71 is completely overshadowed by the Bulldog. The former isn't bad, the latter is just that ridiculous.

I executed a tier 1 failtooner in a tier 5 battle and spent several hours blue today. Of course some of the sub-400 Wn8 idiots think you can farm XP killing blues on your own team (or jusr CRAVE JUSTICE) and start shooting at me right at the start of the battle, predictably landing enough stray shots on innocents to turn blue themselves. I revel in the thought of what happened when they met their own idiot teammates who crave justice just as much as they do. A win for all good players everywhere if you ask me.
