Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
Well, poo poo. Didn't know that, figured the Hellcat was still good and fun.

Or is it still, despite the nerfs? I initially thought it was only the new 75% crew that made it so sluggish despite the top engine and tracks.
Would it still play somewhat comparable to the T67 if I use it to zip around, set up with camo, binocs and rammer, squeeze off a few shots and reposition if necessary? I'm kinda bummed to find out it got nerfed so hard after buying it on sale a few days ago and crewing/equipping it.

The Scorpion was announced in like March 2014 and the Hellcat received the above nerf in patch 9.3, which was September 2014. It's just OP now instead of godlike. Still fun as hell. I think that's the last time its stats were changed, as its view range wasn't nerfed in 9.5 like a lot of other TDs.

As a side note, WG started talking about overhauling Sixth Sense a year ago and then announced it was being delayed in March of this year. Glacial progress for features that would make the game undeniably better is why Nordick's list of relatively minor differences between WoT and AW intrigue me more than they would if WG could be counted on to quickly learn from their competition and improve the game.

Well thank god, that's good to hear.

That WG is taking literally years to implement even the simplest poo poo is just inexplicable.

And then there's stuff like the new customization UI, which, frankly, loving sucks. To apply a new camo I have to hit something like four different select/confirm buttons.

The Hellcat is less zippy and far less able to return to cover or reposition than it used to be. If you play it in the extremely boring, passive playstyle of a RhmBWT, you'll farm lots of damage still, especially since it has the great 90mm APCR.

Hit and miss depending who you ask. I am currently on it and i am doing fine in it. 29 games 72% wr 1900 average damage.

You really wont bounce anything. and the gun is a little derpy sometimes.

I have a history of playing tanks others think are poo poo very well.

The T-44 sets you up to play the T-54 well but is not a great tank itself. It's due for a buff when it's upgraded to HD.

If this is a 2nd class, what are the requirements for an Ace??
Pretty high I would imagine. I got lucky and snagged mine early on when it was still "new" the first time it was release. I can snag another Ace on it periodically, but you'll see 1st and 2nd class more often than not on solid games.

Just enjoy the tank man. With as hilariously fun and powerful as the Cromwell B is, you'll snag an Ace before you know it.

True. I've only played 24 battles in it so far, and that's going to change now that the Action X is coming. Gotta train a good crew for it.

I think I've got around 700 battles and a 64-65% winrate in mine. If you want, you can find me in-game with the same username that I have on here. We can clown in Bromwells since having two or three running together is a great way to completely trash an enemy team even in Tier VIII battles. Tank is so good.

This tank has the comfiest stock grind I've ever experienced. You'd think after the first couple times someone drove into that alley and lost 500hp they'd think twice about it.

Yeah that's it, wrong game but close enough. I like how the guy types 'yes' then pauses a bit before typing 'former army' as if he realized 'SEAL' might be pushing it.

So apparently the action x turret is still garbage at reliably bouncing things but atleast it weighs 55tons and goes 53km/h so get ready to retrain controlled impact on your driver.
