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?

All the gun handling stats got buffed as well... just not to previous levels.

I'm very slowly working towards it. Of all the lines I've been slowly creeping up for years, I probably enjoy the US mediums the most. I'm on the Pershing right now. Still need the top turret and radio, but it's already a very fun tank.

It's a good line that teaches a lot of good mechanics of being a medium tank. I've kept pretty much that entire line in my garage. You'll have a blast once you get the M46.

I love the Pershing, but I'm not rebuying it as long as it frequently gets T10 games. The Patton can take good chunks out of a T10, but I don't think the Pershing would do nearly as well.

You're right. My win-rate is utter crap because A) I'm bad, and B) I've only had the top gun for like 3 games. Playing against tier 10 tanks with the T20 gun isn't all that fun.

Same, I love the Pershing and the Patton KR but the low alpha means trades at tier 10 aren't worth it nor does the fun have the DPM to make quick work of many tanks, so I hover at just under 50% winrate in both (albeit with a small sample size). In tier 8 games both can be very effective, but I'm struggling to get too tier games in any of my tier 8 tanks.

Oh, okay. I guess that should be enough, since I'm not Polka. Does that also have the better filtering? It's really weird that WG lets you show only elited tanks, but doesn't let you show ones you still have more stuff to research, since that's what I want to be able to see.

US Medium line has always been my favorite so it was pretty disappointing what happened to the M48 from PTR back when T10 mediums happened. The Pershing is still good, just the way the game has moved on hasn't been in it's favor. But that is a problem that isn't unique for Pershings.

Telling customers how to solve world problems since 2001
I suddenly noticed they'd gone ahead and made a WoT version for PS4, and sinceI have one, I downloaded it.

Pro:
It looks pretty drat nice.
Friendly fire is off, you can't damage anyone on team.
No chat, so you won't see dumb poo poo in chat.
Crews have been simplified, according to one guy it's more or less like boats. You can basically get skills faster.
All the maps that have been removed from the PC version is here.

Cons:
Pubbies may just be a tad worse than on PC.
Friendly fire is off, you can't damage anyone on team.
No chat, so you won't see dumb poo poo in chat.
Trying to aim and move at the same time with a controller.
No friendly fire means arty doesn't give a poo poo about you hugging someone on their team.
No French tanks for some reason.
NO MODS OH GOD.



All in all it's not so bad, really. Can't really measure up to the PC version, with mods and all, but it's ok for sitting around on the couch and playing on your (presumably) huge TV. Doubt I'll play it very much though. Back to PC version? Ugh...I don't want to...

It's a compromise to encourage proper platooning. A penalty to failplatooning + a bonus to properplatooning = a couple hints for retards on how to do it right. Of course, the real solution is to simply prevent failplatoons from entering the queue in the first place, but this is Wargaming we're talking about, so.... :jerkbag:

I'm not talking about the XP bonus in general, I love that. I just don't see why they're giving such a huge bonus to T10s in particular. It's just encouraging more people to play T10s when there are already too many T10s making running T8s awful.

You're right, but I think in this case, the Wargaming logic is that they're giving a bonus to proper tier 10 platooning because the worst possible failplatoon is tier 10+1+1. Again, the solution is to simply prohibit that (which, IIRC, is exactly how WoT Blitz works) but Wargaming is pants-on-head retarded so this is what they've come up with.
