I think the funniest thing about the WZ-132 is that when they put the RU 251 and T54 Light into the game, both of them were miles better than the WZ-132 - better mobility, better gun, better survivability (the 251 doesn't have as many module problems, the T54 Light bounces shots if I'm not driving it). They then buffed the.....T54 Light.

Wargaming's balance department have some messed up priorities.

Speaking of which, I heard bitching about the T-54 LW nerfs, is it really that significant because losing 10% of its dpm seems to not change that it is a great tank.

T92 sucks in random battles. I can't figure out why because the cgc is very similar and is actually functional in randoms. I still prefer my 155 58 for randoms though.

FINALLY did LT-15 for the T-55A. Took "only" maybe two hundred light tank games to get it. I managed it on Serene Coast of all loving maps, really didn't see that coming. Here's a replay of me sitting in a bush for loving ever and racking up 7500 spotting damage. Nothing else of interest happens.



You went on!? ummmm well done I guess, I'll have to check the replay when I get back. Serene coast is almost as hosed as Erlenberg for weird LT-15.

Pretty much the same story with T-34 where I got a shell through his turret roof. I reversed on some rubble so I could aim down at him :3

Is it just me, or is the VK4503 not going to be very good? Maybe I'm underestimating it, but while it's got a Tiger 2 turret, it's the one that can be penned by almost anything and has a shell trap as a bonus.

Edit: also, wargaming needs to fix the tanks servers again. I'm watching fluid movement and 30ms pings and then suddenly when action happens, it is spiking to 600ms pings with uncontrollable tank driving. I've had some warp hitching in WoWS some times, but the ping spikes there haven't reached this level. I've even had moments where my tank just starts driving in directions I didn't even input for.

I don't play much tanks, but it looks like I got more reserve items. Which I suppose matches the other line in saying boosters. i'm kind of mifed though because blitz and console are getting xp events instead.

And btw folks, the youtube description suggests this code should work on EU as well as NA

Depends on what you like playing, but the T29 and the T-44 are both cool and good; the T29 in particular is one of the best heavies at tier period. The A-44 is a miserable experience but leads to the Object 416 which is completely loving bonkers and arguably the best T8 medium. Haven't played the Ru 251 but I believe it's one of the better T8 lights.

The A-44 might lead to you quitting the game, which would make it the most enjoyable. Though it might not be immediate depending on pain tolerance or masochistic tendencies.

The 13 75 never felt great, but man the 13 90 was amazing when it first came out. People didn't know what to do about autoloaders in general, but having a tank that could haul rear end and appear behind them and dump 1000 damage into them and then disappear was great.

But they were hurt by being shoved up a tier, and then the early physics system kinda hosed over a lot of light tanks. Also having an bad gun just because its an autoloader is pretty unacceptable with the M41 Bulldog/T71 in the game.

All the early auto loaders seem like they could use a pass over and buff. It feels like dumping their clips is only slightly faster than the re-fire rate of similarly tiered non-autoloader guns now a days. And then they have a 40 second reload to throw on top of it. When the auto loaders first came out, I remember thinking how insanely fast they could dump full clips into tanks.

1v1s are generally a complete shitshow on Mittengard because it's too small for good players to abuse view range and other tricks. You just drive at the other player and hope you outdamage them.

I would love a faster reload in between shots on my 50 120. Lately I have been playing as a sort of ambush heavy, tagging along with other heavies to jump on something once it gets distracted. Cutting down on reload time would let me put a lot more damage out.

I'm still not sure if I want to keep it, buy the 50B, or rebuy the 50 100 once I'm done.

I think the CDC and SU-122-44 are better choices. The CDC is a great money printer and gives French medium crews something to do, and the SU-122-44 is a hilarious assault gun. You get a 122mm gun that does 390 damage every 6.6 seconds, and is decently mobile.
