Hellsau posted:No idea why people had a problem with the gas cloud in Rampage mode, I would love for there to be a gas cloud that slowly kills people who are within a certain distance from where they spawned. BECAUSE JEWS AND WEHRABOOS AND ZYKLON B It literally has nothing to do with World of Tanks. But this is the ONLY reason it is a bad idea, because from a gameplay perspective, it's great. Why is the T-54 so perfect? It's like everything that was great about the T-34-85 just amplified for Tier 9. I don't even want to choose between the T62A and the Obj 140....I'm satisfied. There are so few perfect tanks in this game; the T-54 should be cherished - worshiped, even - and held as a shining example of why people actually SHOULD play this game rather than just say it sucks and is a terrible waste of your life. There is literally nothing wrong with this tank other than HEAT, and even that is just a matter of judicious application and aiming properly. Goddamn I love this tank. Murder everything in sight? No problem, comrade. Defend 50% of the map solo vs. 10 enemy retards? No problem, comrade. Take any hill, hold it, and dance about on the corpses of the fascist and capitalist wasteful and worthless tier 9s? Of course; this is nightly ceremony, comrade. So beautiful; so responsive; so perfect. It's a paragon. It almost makes me want to visit the Steppes, the vast emptiness before me, waving grasslands afield, with the machines of the Fascist before me, ripe for destruction. I'd totally be into Stalin if I got to drive this fucker. Pissing in an ammo can is a little distasteful, but I imagine that after a few weeks it's no big deal.

Duzzy Funlop posted:I have around 30k free XP saved up from all these specials in the last month, so once I unlock it, I could probably free-xp everything up to the top gun and the tracks instantly. Don't you have the CDC? The Cromwell is like that at tier 6. I have a bunch of relatively recent replays on my YT, from when I grinded up Sixth Sense on it for my FV4202. It is one tank I never had a problem getting into tier8 battles with.

Duzzy Funlop posted:You know what, wasn't the Japanese heavy line fun up to some point around tier V or VI? I just got blapped by an O-I that just OI is worse than the KV-2 at high tiers, slightly better against low tiers. It does the same thing, but has better armor while being twice as big. The KV-2 being a very large tank already. It also shoots HEAT instead of AP, so its HE all day every day.

The o-i exp (tier 5) is ridiculous. I've got almost. 69% wr and 1400 dpg. Mobile, great gun, -10 degrees of depression, stupid alpha. I get high caliber every 5 battles on average. No armor to speak of tho! It's got pretty high requirements to ace tho, be warned. And being in a t7 game hurts - you need gold but it still only gives you 20 more pen.

Atal Vataman posted:wtf is a monocle moment? The day that most people finally realised CCP was a shell of its former self. They tried to join the RMT bandwagon with EVE Online, and their opening item was a decorative monocle for your character avatar that cost 70 real dollars. Place never really recovered, as in the wash up everyone noticed that most of the talent had been headhunted by Riot and other places, and the people left had no idea how the game got there, or where it was going. The collapse of the World of Darkness project just confirmed that EVE had been a fluke. vv Sorry

Nordick posted:Not necessarily. The HE shell has less pen than the KV-2's, while the AP has 10 more. Also the AP will overmatch all kinds of poo poo due to the huge caliber. I had great success one-shotting other tier 6s with the AP shells. The gold round for the KV-2 is AP as well, there is never any reason to fire silver AP. Ever. Unless you hate blapping targets.

That's exactly what they did with the Object 140, what's stopping them form doing it again?

Cardiac posted:Don't you have the CDC? Yeah, I do, and it ultimately was a good choice for what I wanted it more (simply grinding cash for my lower-tier shenanigans without being as immobile as the other good cash-grinders), but 100 games in, I realized I'm just not very good at the playstyle that requires perfect situational awareness and how to use awareness with regards to where you need to be, who has a shot on you at any given time and doing all that while on the move literally every second of the game because every single artillerypiece will gun for you. I can see why it can perform and I'm doing okay in it at around 1500 vehicle WN8, but I cannot, for the life of me, dig me out of a lovely WN8 because of how little I can carry. I kinda wish I'd gotten the KV-5 the last time it was on sale, even though it makes less net credits. Can you link your YouTube channel?

Nordick posted:Except when you have no premium AP, like on the O-I, where the silver AP is perfectly serviceable. I get that. You were, however, comparing the O-I's silver AP to the KV-2's silver AP, when no responsible KV-2 driver would be firing silver AP at any point anyway. O-I has a big hitpoint pool and decent armor (apparently?) but it manages to be even slower and bigger than the KV-2, with worse gun handling, longer reload and a less good gold round. The only time this really seems to matter is when you have a KV-2 and an O-I fighting each other, where the edge is going to be with the O-I at the distances I typically seem to engage them at. In any case they are both pretty good at smashing poo poo so whichever seems to do it for you I guess.

Any suggestions? It has a camo rating of a planetoid so don't bother with it until 3rd or 4th skills. Get repairs first, then smooth ride/snapshot and safe stowage on your loaded (your ammo rack will get damaged A LOT), then think about going for camo or, if you can afford it, retraining to BiA.

I didn't know they had gun that did 300 damage and had really good pen for its tier. They are really tough, and I've found (especially if they've got the derp gun) they can negate all the advantages the KV-220 and Churchill III have (armor and rapid-firing guns) as long as they can find cover. However, what has been said in a lot of reviews that I agree with is they are tricky to review because they are stupid good at top tier but struggle more as lower tier tanks compared to their peers.

Desuwa posted:Cent 7 is great though, sorry you're bad. It even has a basket to carry your team in. Uh, the Type 61's armor is just as dependable as the Cent 7/1's, it reloads 2 seconds faster, and ti gets an actual gold round. I don't understand how you can like one and not the other. The Type 61 was totally workable (though the tumor is annoying), the Cent is not. Those extra 2 seconds are a lifetime. Cent 7/1 is trash.
