Which Russian TD line is the one to go down these days? I seem to have a bunch of credits for whatever reason suddenly  and I forget what grab after the SU-100.If these rental bux don't get rolled back I'll be able to afford the E-100 when I unlock it soonish. Thanks, WG coders!

I love my M48 dearly. Not sure if it's because it's a fun tank or if it's because it's the only Tier X I have aside from my Maus.

Captain Blaargh posted:Which Russian TD line is the one to go down these days? I seem to have a bunch of credits for whatever reason suddenly The SU-100M and up are a high dpm tanks in an alpha world with the shittiest gun depression. If you've tried the 416 or other bad depression tanks, they can work but I was often frustrated with both chassis and gun on the tier 7 and 8. The tier 9 is solid, but it's hard comparing it to the 704 and choosing the 122-54. Never tried the Stalin shoe.

I tend to play mediums too much like heavies sometimes. Which will probably be more successful with the E-50, although I should still probably not do that unless I'm facing a T8. I also know all about making GBS threads out damage, that thing is awesome for that. Right now I'm hitting 7.25 second reload with 390 per shot, basically IS-3 alpha and pen.

This loving "spot 4 enemy tanks before you get spotted" mission is doing my bloody head in. It should be easy enough with a bit of luck, but I am having NO such luck. Every battle either is in loving Ensk or some other impossible map, or is filled with other scouts who yolo ahead, hog all the spots and then die. Or enemy scouts who yolo ahead, spot me and die. Or the enemy team all just herd into the opposite corner of the map. Or a combination of the above.

Nordick posted:This loving "spot 4 enemy tanks before you get spotted" mission is doing my bloody head in. The 260 version needs you to spot seven enemies before being spotted. It is total horseshit - you need a map where you can spot the enemy without being lit, you need no enemy lights suicide scouting you, you need no friendly lights suicide scouting the enemy, and you need half the enemy team going the direction you pick! I ended up getting it done on loving Arctic Region, on that south bush near the water, because I spotted four tanks going southeast, one going middle, and two going onto the idiot sniper hill - including an M40/M43. It took me a long, frustrating series of games, playing in a way that was harmful to my team, to get that stupid mission. gently caress that mission.

I just bought it back and I'm trying different approaches to the countless B2s I'll probably see. I was hoping that the HE shell might still do 50+ damage to them anywhere I shoot them so I would be able to out-dpm them, but it's not really consistent. The HEAT shell is also somewhat inconsistent in my first couple of approaches that aren't close range because the weird angling and curves of the B2's front

I was planning on using the B2, although I've never used a rental tank ever. I only have 9 hours left on it so I guess there is a way to get more. Otherwise I'll rebuy the Type 95. I actually didn't mind that tank.

If you're actually trying to win the tier 4 heavy 1v1, use the DW2. 130 pen APCR is so vastly better than all the other options that it isn't particularly close. The Type 95 is effectively armorless, even compared to the DW2, and is also gigantic, so if you're getting into a fight at any sort of distance or with any sort of cover, I have to assume the Type is at a disadvantage, and the shell velocity on the HEAT looks goddamn horrendous - though I've never actually used that HEAT, so I'm just looking at the stats on tanks.gg. Even if you get into a brawl with the Type 95, you can technically 4 shot the enemy with HEAT - 440 HP for the DW2 and Type 95, 110 alpha on the Type's HEAT....but if previous 1v1s have taught me anything, it's that you'll low roll constantly, and need that fifth shot, and if you need the extra shot then you're going to get killed by APCR before you can load that fifth shot even with the DPM advantage and initial burst. If ANYTHING goes wrong, that derp gun is going to be the death of you. then again the actual strategy is to play the B2, make a bunch of credits and not give a poo poo about winning because it's such an insignificant amount of gold that it really doesn't matter.

Huh, never played the DW2 before. I have a PzIII researched so I can just get that and research the DW2 today (I don't like free xping tanks, only modules). I shall take your recommendation Hellsau. Although I don't have a crew for it and I don't want to spend 200 gold on each loving crew member. So I won't perform as well. Eh, whatever.

Hmm, checking the stats on tank compare show the gun DPM is inline with most other tanks, but the accuracy is still poor. I did see people saying the armor got a bump though, but was it enough to matter?

Still need to use a vstab. I wouldn't know for sure since I don't have it researched yet.

Looks like Aslains and OMC are updated. Oddly, I'm playing better in arty without my precious flight time mods. It's the feeling. You gotta have the internet arty feeling in your alcohol filled gut. I'll install one later.

The JPz E100 was put into the game to appease the shitlers who fail their way up the German casemate line to own a tank which can potentially deal more damage in a single shot than they're used to doing in two games back-to-back.
