I actually bought it too, I just hadn't had a chance to try it myself so I outlined the negatives mainly because I can't in good conscience recommend a tank without having played it.

Totally a consumer whore.

Mobility is average now but the gun is loving beastly for its tier. Not a bad buy considering I didn't have to shell out $50 on some inflated bullshit gold package with it.

If anything, it sounds like the T-28/85 is another ring of the death knell for the PzB2.

Still have to poo poo through 4314 APCR rounds on that thing.

That being said, hope all of you buying a T-28/85 love spending 250-500 extra gold on a second Russian medium radio operator you're unlikely to have lying around.

Why not just have a light tank radioman at 75% effective? I do it when training my 4 man Russian crews.

Naw, the B2 gets three shot by it, but you can actually pen it in return unlike when facing a Matilda. Also, tier 6s.

many excellent T6 medium tanks such as the Type 58 also have an 85 mm gun and thinner hull armor, making it an entirely fair fight for the T-28/85 :greencube:

Excellent != Type58
Just finished my grind for that since in the far future I want the WZ-111-4, but the Type58 is just a mediocre tank and was a miserable grind.
Lacks the depression, pen and the gold shells from the T-34-85, and the soft stats is not good enough to cover for that, not even in my 4 skills Type59 crew.
Also, I am aware of your weird sexual tankophilic tendencies regarding the Type58. Admittedly that post is one of the best posts in this thread.

Hey baby I think we Havel lot in common
T28 85mm trip report:

6000 people on NA East at 2:00 AM; played 2 games. First was battle tier 4 on Widepark; 2nd was battle tier 5 on Malinovka. 1st game: died without doing damage; saw no enemy tanks, realized too late that nobody on my team left spawn. Died to invisible tanks. The T28 has less than 400 HP and no armor whatsoever. The 350m view range doesn't seem bad, but when you're bigger than the buildings on the map it's not too helpful. 2nd game: The T28 85mm manages 20 kph up the hill, which isn't terrible, except that in a tier 5 game everyone else who isn't driving a douchewagon or a matilda can get up there faster than you. I am pleased to report that artillery can still kill this gigantic tank with no armor in two hits. The other two artillery on the enemy team missed me, and I don't even think any of the enemy left spawn. Zero damage. There was literally no point in going down the other side of the hill; I don't even know why I tried.

As is all too common lately, the session ended with an angry Alt+F4. One of these days I'll just learn to stick to good tanks and enjoy the game.

Perhaps 2:00 AM on a weeknight is not the best time to try out this tank which otherwise I would hope to enjoy. ROF doesn't seem too bad, GLD makes the aim time tolerable. I don't hate it, but the zero armor plus huge target minus the T28 speed increases your dependency on others to spot for you, which is a fart in the wind in a tornado of misplaced expectations.

Back to Fallout 4.

I've got contact with Emy outside of SA so it's really just a question of convincing him to reinstall this bad game.

Emy, srb and I had some great platoons going. We'd tool around in our tier6s and just have a blast, especially since even as bottom tier, the damage output of a T-34-85 or M6 or really most tier6 tanks stacks of moderately well against the hitpoints on tier8s.

For example, I'd bring my SU-100Y and we'd just have a blast with Emy and/or srb playing a real tank and then me hitting enemies with the giant hammer. 510 damage gold shell at tier6 :v:

Or we'd end up with some dumb M6/Jackson/Hellcat platoon and just abuse the poo poo out of the 90mm guns. By the way, of those 3, the M6 reloads the fastest and has the best soft stats :colbert: It also looks the funniest.

Or just swarming with T-34-85 or E8s or something.

I think one day we branched out a bit, Emy ran his T20, I ran Type 64 and srb ran 59-16. It actually kind of worked.

Then we'd try some tier8, get shat on by the MM a few times and come to our senses. The matchmaker seemed to have no loving idea what to do with tier8 platoons that don't have pref-MM, it was easier to solopub tier8s. Maybe that's still the case. I have a lot of tier8s I love but I don't like to solo when I could be shooting the poo poo on TS and tier8 platoon MM was just mental. Yes sure it's a great idea to put us in a tier10 game where the enemy team doesn't even have any tier8s :barf:

I have 15999 battles and only one tier10 unlocked. Tier5 and 6 have the most recreational value for me :v:

Man, thinking about the middle tiers actually makes me want to play way more than thinking of higher tier games with hovercraft mediums and giant TDs (I know, my SU-100Y is guilty of this too)

It helped that all three of us are pretty mellow and didn't get crazy choleric about pubbies.

Nice job buying yourself a new avatar btw

but could you teach us more about germans naming their artillery tanks after grills?

I could, yes. In fact, you could say naming artillery after things that are used to cook over open fires makes more sense that naming it after a loving cricket.

I could also tell how it's pretty arrogant for a German, or anyone else, to tell anyone else they pronounce their own language wrong.

I mean, gently caress you Germans, the letter V doesn't make the "f" sound, and the letter w doesn't make the "v" sound. Get your poo poo together.

The Iron Hands weren't loyalists. The Ultramarines, noted for their tricks and deceptions, planted an agent within their ranks claiming to be their long lost Primarch, Ferrus Manus. Thus, the Iron Hands readily turned to Chaos and joined Horus' ranks, all to cover for the Ultramarines' own heresies.

Also, 9 loving years for a PhD? Who the gently caress cares enough about a PhD to actually pursue it for 9 loving years.

i dont think your playstyle suits the t28... sounds like you like being in the frontline, but the t28 is HUGE, no camo, no armor, no HP, no viewrange... you will die fast.

Its a mobile KV-1 cannon on tier 4, you can easily pen any target exsept the t6 O-I, which means any tank you will ever meet..

Sit back, be 2nd in line, dont get spotted, dont get shot and support/snipe and get 1000+ dmg easy
