It looks like the hybrid of a Cromwell and a VK 30.02 D. I'm tempted to pick it up because there's not enough fast higher tier premiums. Yeah it plays like a T-25, and seems to me without being bothered to check: 1. Slightly slower than the t-25, but accelerates faster. 2. Has a better gun. The aim times are about the same, but the Skoda seems to have a much lower bloom. The T-25 has the better ROF, but the Skoda has way better average damage. Not sure about the pen.

Cardiac posted:Those rampage missions are going to be poo poo. Well poo poo if you don't have a Leopard, BatChat or Russian Medium, since those are the only tanks that can realistically grab a flag and get away with it. I know its going to be poo poo. But get a platoon together and just try and grind them out. The worst one is getting 5 kills with the arty/airstrike in 1 game. If the players are actually trying you cant do it. Even if they are total poo poo the time limit fucks you.

Since I'm an idiot with bad spending habits I bought a Sherman Revalorise and it's... good? Great gun with some gun depression and half-decent gun handling on a mobile platform makes a decent second line tank.

Got the heavy and medium final missions for the first personal mission set done with honors on the first try, but this TD mission is really loving me over. I literally need to get 6 hits with my JP2 and a single kill, but arty is making that poo poo nigh impossible.Terrorist Fistbump posted:Any word on when they're going to release it on NA? Probably the thanksgiving event, considering the tank silhouette for "setting the table for a guest" is a Sherman.

But since I don't have any fast mediums (only Fatton and CAX) capturing the flag is going to be painful. Damage is no problem, since getting a 10k damage game in the T57 is not that hard. I am almost tempted to freeXP the Obj140, but then I would have to grind the loving credits as well.

I've got most of my mods set up but for some reason. The gun constraints mod doesnt show them on the minimap anymore so it's quite a pain to play fartillery. More than usual anyway. Has there been any word out on when the korean patton will be introduced to the shop. That may be the only premium I would want to buy.

9.13 Supertest notes. So it seems that Fjords is the next shitpile map to get tossed in the trash along with Hidden Village and South Coast. Hopefully Sacred Valley and Westfield get shitcanned next. I mean, that bridge in Westfield is super iconic so I'd prefer if they somehow fixed the map, but it sure as hell doesn't appear like they ever will. They just constantly make it worse. The northwest being so vital and the east and south being either worthless or worse than worthless makes for an incredibly imbalanced map if your team has too many people choosing to be useless. They're probably better off just making a really long map, with the really steep sides being the edges of the map, and the bridge in the middle. Oh also they're buffing the VK 3002D again apparently. I know I'm a big fan of it, and let me tell you - there is nothing on it that they can buff without making the tank too overpowered. It already has reasonable handling, armor, and mobility - any buff there and the tank becomes unstoppable. It has 380m view range which is good for its tier. It has good alpha and DPM, such that they cannot reasonably be expected to improve either of those. Maybe they'll buff the 75mm so the poors can be second class citizens compared to the people who can afford to use the short 88? I'm almost certain they can't be putting the WoT Blitz short 88 pen into the regular game, since most of the tanks with the short 88 would need large nerfs if the pen went from 132/171 to 145/195. Any of you fancy-dancies know anyone on the supertest who can tell me in what way they're buffing my angel? I managed to get the third mark on the VK in 75 games, with these absurd stats:  4500 WN8? I guess the average pubbie is really bad with this tank, which is good news for me if I want it to get buffed! Also did those idiots change WN8 again? I went from 2500ish to 2625 overall for some reason.

For the VK3002D I'm guessing for the most part you fire APCR out of the short 88? I always liked the way the Indien Panzer looked and heard it was a decent medium, but I was always told that the VK 3002D was a bad grind to get to it and it was basically a VK3001D placed a tier higher. Edit: Huh, I wonder what they're doing with the German T-25.

That's correct, but the 30.02D gets substantially more armor and health than the 30.01D. It's a beefy tank compared to the Comet, T20, even the T-43. Fire APCR all day long and you'll do fine. Btw the Indien-Pz sucks. If I were a smart man, I would have gone through the Ru 251 instead, but alas I am an idiot.

Yeah, gold from the short 88 is insanely expensive, routinely losing you 30-75 thousand credits in one game, but beyond pen the tank is great in all other ways. Apparently it'll get slight terrain resistance and turning speed buffs. Making the tank accelerate faster, lose less speed over bad terrain, turn faster and climb better isn't needed but hell, buff it more Wargaming I'm going for top 99.99% on the server. The only change the T-25 needs is pref matchmaking so I can play it more often, or view range to make it not blind. It is a good tank - we were running one for a tier 5 medium skirmish a while back since it just goes forwards very quickly while having a reasonable gun. e:  Certain TDs are getting absurd HP buffs 2100 HP JTiger is ludicrous.e2: T28 goes from 1150 to 1500 (Proto still gets shafted). also the T-34-3 goes from -3 to -5 degrees gun depression. That's significantly less punishing, and might make that shotgun more workable. I will probably need to try that out on test. Hellsau fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Nov 20, 2015 |

A couple tier 8 mediums get penetration buffs on their top gun. - The T69's 90mm buffed to 181 (was 173) - Pershing's top gun buffed to 190 (was 180) - T-44, T-44-100, and Т-54 proto's top gun buffed to 183 (was 175) Select French autoloaders get better gun handling. (12t, 13 75, Lorraine 40t, Bat-Chat 25t) A bunch of tanks are now more mobile and have less gun bloom. Always a good thing. T-34-2 and  T-34-3 get 2 extra degrees of gun depression. Worth a purchase now??

subhelios posted:1500 hp T28. gently caress why wasn't it that when I was playing it. See, turretless TDs get bigger guns and good frontal armor, but pay for them by being easily killed when flanked. Oh but they're got better frontal armor than the corresponding heavy from that nation and tier, so they need less HP. Oh but if the frontal armor is too good that's bad, so they need glaring weak spots. Also the giant flat spot on the front of them needs to be easily penetrated with gold ammo from same tier tanks even though turretless TDs cannot afford to show side armor and cannot really angle. Oh but the heavy tanks need to get better guns, so now the TDs get a similar gun to their corresponding heavy, but maybe give them better reload time so they get rewarded if they manage to get their gun on target for half a minute while being slow and turretless. Wait why do these easily penetrated slow turretless tanks have less HP again?

If I hadn't been stymied by rubble every time I tried to flank on Stalingrad I'd still be playing this terrible game.

Of course you will have the good taste not to share that bit of information.
