Ah but a lovely autoloader tank gets deprioritized. You'll see a full retard m41 and a smart 13 75 driver and instnct says kill the bulldog though I won't pop out until I have a full clip and make sure every shot hits its mark instead of going full retard. My winrate in the, A-44, the duck, the 12t, the 13 75, and the B1 are all enormous and I've chalked it up to people underestimating the tanks.

Yep, you're right about the discount. Now just 4.1 million more credits to go. I'm probably not going to get it, especially considering I think I have another 80k experience to go. I ended up getting a config I like with the Aslain mod pack Celt recommended. In England, they put an s on the end. I think it sounds stupid too.

At least it's (almost) always been in a platoon for me, so I get to be the decoy, spotting and goading shots out of enemies so my platoon can take clear shots. Ram mode E-50 platoon would be a funny gimmick. Like the opposite of when goons would get in T-50s or T-50-2s and pick a heavy to ram until all of the goons died and automatically get the dude banned for a day. I choose the E-50 because it's fast and heavy, maybe there are better choices now.

Blindeye posted:APCR has higher pen, higher shell velocity, but less normalization (when AP hits angled armor, 5 degrees of angling are subtracted, APCR only 2 degrees are subtracted). Basically this only matters of you are close to ricocheting off armor at extreme angles. It is very rare, but I have had a few cases where I got hit in a 13 75 or 13 90 (and the batchat once) by a 120mm gun, but the shot bounced simply because the shooter hit me with APCR rather than AP. Normalization (or rather, lack thereof) can and will gently caress you over any chance it gets. Weirdly enough, every one of these cases the shooter was a T34.

Does this new prototype Tiger II look any good? It seems tempting since I have no german heavies and it's not expensive like a Lowe.

Better armor on the hull compared to the tiger H because of the slopes. Lack of mantlet and low armor means everything can just punch your gunner in the face and laugh the entire time. Also has lower dpm compared to the tiger h while having the same gun.

Quickybaby did a review on it, and while he stipulates to "some" downsides, he's super stoked about the terrain resistance, angled hull armor and amazing gun handling, and demonstrates in a couple of matches how cool and fun it could be to play. Never mind the fact that everyone in the game will know where to shoot you inside the first month of the tank being out and literally all benefits going down the shitter.

Like I said, it will be the tiger p all over again. When the tiger p first came out it was absolutely hilarious because everyone shot the lfp. That is the universal weakpoint of any tank. However, the tiger p's is actually pretty armored especially when angled a little. On the other hand, the turret isn't so well armored.

So QuickyBaby seems to like the 4503, but the video clips only show it at top tier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzjxuTCiO-k Even the 'mid-tier' clip that starts around 12:45 is capped at T8. In all three videos it doesn't show the tank go up against a single T9 - curious. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 04:32 on Jun 4, 2016 |

If you think about it, the 4503 isn't a bad thing if 1) you don't have a 7201 from CW, and/or 2) don't want to lopsidedly train your E-100 crew in the PzB2. But watching a video review where the tank mysteriously is never shown as bottom tier seems shady, and since high-view reviewers are given a Batphone to WG, it's wise to take favorable reviews with a whole shaker of salt. That being said, on the site's ad page for it, they inadvertently stumbled onto an idea that will probably elude all of them. Instead of adding gold and credits to the mid/high-tier packages for this thing, add in *tank discount vouchers*. Buy the top tier package, get 1-2 50% off a non-premium tank purchase vouchers to use in game. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Jun 4, 2016 |

I would absolutely buy a premium Tiger. A premium Tiger P is something I would try to win in a tournament and then never play. The entire purpose of the Tiger is its DPM - it just kills enemy tanks faster than they can kill it, and then moves on to the next threat. It has no mobility, camo, or armor to protect itself, it can only kill the enemy fast while leaning on the great HP pool to survive while holding left click. The Tiger P trades 500 DPM and 50HP and some mobility for some useless armor on part of the hull and a weak turret with a loving "shoot me here" cupola on top of a tank with a very weak turret face, so when pubbies shoot at the "weak spot" and miss horribly they still punch through your turret face. Suddenly they know where to shoot, negating the entire "upgrade" while still keeping the downsides compared to the Tiger. So why the gently caress would you trade away all the advantages and keep the disadvantages? Seriously, I'm pretty down on DPM, but that 2200 base DPM on the Tiger is the entire basis of the tank. Going to 1700 base DPM on the Tiger P and this lovely VK while still not having mobility, camo, or armor just makes it poo. Mostly I'm just salty that this VK isn't a premium VK3002D with the Short 88. It's historical probably! Let me give you money Wargaming.

Failing that, bring the 'expensive premium camo' thing over from WoWS and allow us to purchase something that turns any standard tech tree tank into a premium earning/repair-wise, with the cost scaling to the tank's tier. Or something pricier that turns an existing premium into a "Type 59G"-grade earner. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Jun 4, 2016 |

so about 3 days ago i unlocked the type 4 heavy tank japanese tier 9 yeah, well turns out it has the same playstyle as a T95 , goes about 9-13kph so when i would get to a flank after 3mins of auto pilot on the team either won or lost by then really more useless in a battle than the t95 which i did decent in , oh its probably because the type 4 is huge and gets spotted at start of battle so arty can automaticly ruin your game TLDR-uninstalled thanks to type 4 japanese tier 9

I used to want to turn my T32 into a premium, but I'm not sure what I would pick now. It would be a lot of fun to turn my Churchill 3 into the biggest earner in the game, though. Although I'm sure mathematically my T34 would make more sense.

I'd probably turn my T-34 into a premium if it didn't have a weird crew setup, or my T-1 Heavy since that would be a boss crew trainer/income earner. Aside from that...maybe turn a tank like the T29 into a premium. This is just making me disappointed that I can't, though. Edit: this is part of why I love playing tanks:
