The U.S. M6 Heavy and T29 are easily obtainable and fun tanks. The tier 8 is a roadbump unless you sling lots of APCR, but regular tier 8 sucks balls for everyone and after that it's the M103/110E5 gravy train

Hellsau posted:The Japanese heavies are ridiculously overpowered from tier 5 to tier 7. The earlier tiers are hilariously bad (particularly the tier 4) and the higher tiers are also bad (particularly the tier 10). Wait so the O-Ni is worth getting? I've been running around with the O-I derping everything, it's worth moving up?

Depends on if you want to train another Japanese crew or if you want another tier seven tank. The O-I is great and the line heads straight into the garbage after the tier seven so don't expect any further progress to be rewarded with anything except pain.

But French is difficult/frustrating in pub games, and the japanese end result is a garbage truck. Germans take a bit of skill to play well, Soviets are the ultimate rush in and cave in faces branch.

China heavy line for 7-9 is actually the best heavy line to play.

They've been especially silent about it. According to the events calendar, a bunch of specials end on Friday, so it probably won't be until at least then, but 9.14 is supposed to come out on the 8th, so they might wait until then.

Nordick posted:Yeah, the O-Ni's front armor is solid enough that you can often just sit there and eat shells like popcorn and The O-Ho is also okay as a gimmick. It obviously lacks a whole lot of the qualities a player would want in a tank to carry, but in the around 400 games I've racked up in the non-poo poo Japanese heavies, I've managed to maintain an average of like 63% winrate, with the lowest winrate being in the O-I at 55% for some reason. Equally bizarrely, the O-Ho has my highest 100+ battle winrate of all tanks I've ever played at 68%...and it's climbing. The only explanation I have is less WN8-related and more connected to the fact that you can hold up entire flanks of idiots while excessively side-scraping and murdering crew/modules every 14 seconds. I don't exceed 2500 damage too often, which is kinda bad at tier8, but I do notice pretty often that O-Hos tend to tie up numerous dudes regardless of where they are. Mind you, smart people would know to flank a sidescraping O-Ho unless he's not alone, but we're not exactly dealing with smart people in WoT. The O-Ni was pretty okay and bounces a lot more than the O-Ho, but both tanks have been fun so far. The HE-gimmick, coupled with Eagle Eye, has grown on me quite a bit.

I did not want to play tanks at all because a 2x every battle day draws in the Quixperiencers and such. I logged in to check if there was the upcoming On-Track on the upcoming missions list, nothing. Goons channel was completely empty - good choice everyone.

So, I should actually be around this weekend for TOTALLY NOT RIGGING activities In unrelated news, I still can't get over how great the Skoda T50 is, especially in a 2 man platoon. I was playing that almost exclusively yesterday, and just printing 3-4k damage games. That being said, the requirments for mastery must be insane if 3k is only good enough for a 3rd class, and 4500 good enough for a 2nd class. Only 37 games in, and I'm sitting pretty with a 70+% winrate and 2671 WN8 in it. Get in this thing while the getting is good, cause they are gonna nerf the poo poo out of it in the future. EDIT: Well, that didn't take long:

So just played a match in where more than half my team suicided in trying to defend the bottom left corner of malinovka. Literally didn't even drive out of my spawn before I had to turn around, because more than half the team was gone. I know just the basics but I do know you can't defend K3 down there, and you should pull back and fight not there if they push. What are the positions to use? Since I've never had a battle go to poo poo so quickly, and require me to be near our cap in the first 2 minutes.

Literally didn't even drive out of my spawn before I had to turn around, because more than half the team was gone. I usually say in allchat what the east spawn needs to do in order to win, and why the field buildings are suicide. That gives me the moral high ground to berate anyone dumb enough to ignore my good advice (with the enemy team frequently joining in) and it lets me have more actual games. If I'm west spawn and the enemy team has eight loving tanks camping the field buildings, it is a total waste of time for me to continue playing since it's just a 7 v 15. Even the shitlords camping the rocks on the west spawn are more effective since they at least don't get spotted and murdered by things they can't fight back against and don't get dunked on by artillery through their "arti cover". You've got to try to just shame the pubbies into playing well. Sure you'll lose three or four dudes in the field buildings every game but at least they'll have proven themselves to be worthless in advance.

I guess as long as you directly compare the acceleration, track traverse, aim bloom, and aim time of the tier 10 tank T57 Heavy and the tier 3 tank Sexton I you may not be underwhelmed, but that's by no means guaranteed because the T57 is real bad.

The gun is really good, but if you get spotted you die. It is a decent approximation of what it is like to play most paper-cannon td's at higher tiers.

since playing WOT is in itself masochistic it follows that the CGC is the ideal tank of the game

Does the Black Prince still have a built in win modifier or did they take that out with their HD armor nerf?

BadLlama posted:Does the Black Prince still have a built in win modifier or did they take that out with their HD armor nerf? They completely trashed the armor such that my VK3002D, a tank with 171 gold pen, has no trouble fighting a Black Prince frontally. The Black Prince received no buffs in compensation. Presumably the winrate modifier has been significantly weakened.

We'll tell the stories with wistful eyes to new generations of eager World of Tanks players. They'll ask us, "Hellsau, how'd you old folk get such high winrates in the Black Prince? How was that tank before the Great Armor Nerf of 9.13?" And we'll tell them the truth, "It was slow, the gun was weak, and the armor was unreliable." And they'll ask, "Then how did you win so much?" before we break down in tears at the loss of our magical Prince.
