M41 is too much fun. Zooming around tanks hitting them in their flanks. Just wish it had a bit more armor, seems a bit thin for a MBT.
Well, it's a light tank, not a MBT.

It is a lot of fun, though.

Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.
I don't understand the XM1 at all. My tier 5 BgltPlatzer with top APCR ammo could not penetrate it from the flat side from about 50 meters. Side shots into turret, tracks, hull, engine etc. I emptied my 8 shot clip twice into the side and never got a single pen :O

It's broken overpowered. In some major ways the M1 Abrams is worse. It has tiny tiny front weak spots.

They should consider buffing MBT pen to let them gently caress with each other's armor. Got my M60A3 now, and dueling with MBT70's is pretty silly.

Buffing AP wouldnt really gently caress other vehicle classes either in theory, just MBT vs MBT. At least in certain cases :shrug: Supposedly it gets even worse higher up.

EDIT: VVV Maybe you're right. I know its lower than the same round on the Stingray by a significant amount, as is the damage. Then again, I dont really have much experience yet, I just started PVPing today. Namely lower tier to not gently caress up any potential stat stuff too much. The god drat Dragoon is a loving blast to drive!

Also sorry to the dude who's invite I didnt accept this evening, I was in the middle of a match and unsure how to reply :(

MBT70 is pretty easy to pen in the lower glacis. Maybe the M60A3 can't but other T6 MBTs can for sure.

I'd be fine with AP/Sabots having enough pen up close (50 meters) to pen MBTs frontally. Things would get less silly with weak-spot bullshit then.

So you can do sick snipes on people going 80+ kph. Seriously, the most magical moment in 50 games with arty was when I was driving the Gvosdika and managed to shotgun a Dragoon-300 that was screaming in at max speed to get himself that arty booty, only for him to get atomised by a hip-fired 122mm dustbin. :haw:

Did the very same thing, 350hp-ish XM800T that came zooming in for the kill only to be killed. No rage though, disappointed with that bit.

This game needs a better soundtrack. And super weapons in the PvE mode. And garish custom paintjobs. And Japanese voice acting.

I really want Ace Combat With Tanks, okay? :japan:

It's almost as if the tracks act like spaced armour and detonate the HEAT prematurely. :(

If the BRDM-2 is any indication of what will be available in the future, we'll see some nice non-brown-olive-sand paintjobs in the future. PvE super weapons sound like a nice too and there is a dedicated PvE consumable category already in place, now we just need the airstrike and tactical nuke consumables.

Reminds me of that game, Blitz 1941 or so. It was a rather cute isometric tank game, and they actually had the USSR anthem playing nonstop when you logged into your russian garage.

e: But in all seriousness, if you are in a tank that can drive more than 50kph the game should just open a music player ala Need For Speed and start playing some good racing music.

It's really easy to see people behind cover in 3rd person on medium settings because the game doesn't render anything smaller than a large house in 3rd person until you're close to them so you can shoot people who should be hidden while you're in 3rd person lol good job obsidian

I wonder if they'll just keep adding tanks bit by bit to the two dealers or if they're gonna add in more dealers at some point.

The thing with that is they will probably add a bunch of tanks at once because I can't really see them making a new trader for only 3 tanks.

its not going to just be purely chinese tanks people. if you havent noticed how the dealer system works they can pretty much add any nation into the dealer they want. this is pretty much the reason they went with this dealer system so they can add tanks without having to think about going a full tree like WoT has to.

Hopefully the delay is simply so they can determine just how overpowered they should make the AMX-30's crazy HEAT round.

Chinese dealer is next (and eventually added asian stuff). I think they've mentioned French/Swedish stuff too, might be another dealer though (gotta have that BACON :getin:).

Chinese line seems to be mainly Russian remixes up to tier 5-6 or so, then they become ChineseLeopard1 "Big Gun" / "Weak Armor" sorta thing. Type 85(?)/88 and 96/99 gonna be interesting.
Also I think we might just get the Chinese NotT-55 before the actual T-55.

Is anyone recreating old World of Tanks clans in AW? I have such fond memories of clan wars in No Dumb Pubs with ChairInABasket leading us, may he rest in peace... Stug Lyfe, Marder She Wrote, and others.

What are the active goon clans in Armored Warfare? I know of CHAI, but I heard it got full up.
