Keep in mind it's not an exclusive tank, either - they'll *eventually* add it to the in-game store for gold, and then on top of that, it's a T7 tank so it'll eventually be discounted ~30-50% (more than likely 30).

Yeah, but I meant just from a playability/enjoyment standpoint. I mean I don't mind driving the Lowe but I'm not going to pretend it has great armor, DPM, or anything resembling speed. It's an expensive, non-pref 8 and the 4503 is simply a more bearable crew trainer. Considering the German line has quite a few keeper HTs that's not a bad thing to have.

So more of the sandbox stuff has come out, if you are using a UK tank that uses a 20pdr, get out of it now. Avg damage on 20pdr guns is down to 180, from 230. Also, the ROF didn't increase at all. This leaves the Caern and Cent Mk1 with 1400ish DPM, which is dire.

I too like the VK 4503. It's weird, it shouldn't bounce anything but a lot of same and lower tier stuff just seems to glance off. It's probably the odd autobounce angles on the turret for lower calibers paired with lovely accuracy that makes it hard to hit the mantlet that makes it work. It has lovely power to weight ratio but the terrain resistance is super low so it still moves pretty well, and the gun handling really is amazing. The low bloom is obvious but it also aims in really loving fast. It's not the T29, but it gives you a lot to work with. I didn't really get along with the Tiger I for some reason but this works.

I'm still rear end at this game. If I try to push up on people, TDs kill me. If I play patient instead, arty kills me. If I hide behind cover, I end up doing nothing and waiting for somebody to die so we can do something. Then the enemy team pushes up and then I die. I rarely have any idea of where the best place for me to be is at any given time. And I'm not really getting any better at figuring that out. But arty is some really obnoxious poo poo. I get the whole "don't push up without vision and your team" thing, but then if you hang back and slowly advance, you just get blasted by artillery instead. Obviously there is something I'm still missing here. Probably Sixth Sense. WHY THE HELL DOES IT TAKE FOREVER TO GET JUST ONE SKILL ARGH The grind is insane. In WoWS you get the Sixth Sense perk on your first captain skill, which usually comes after ONE game (if you buy a 1 skill captain for a pittance of credits, you don't even have to wait!).

How many games have you played? Map knowledge and situational awareness takes time in this game. What helped me was taking some time to watch streamers, and trying to figure out what they do when and why. I enjoy SirFoch and To some extent Circon, but YMMV.

Was doing amazing in the 50 120. 60% winrate for the longest time. Home stretch, 20k xp to go. Lose practically every game horribly. Wins go down to 54%. Now I have the 50 b and I still can't win for poo poo. I'm down in the 40s.

Can anyone tell me how many shells the USSR premium IS-2 can carry? Just had a battle where I think the enemy one ran out of shells, because he did nearly 4k damage but shot HE at me at the very end. He fired 24 shots before I killed him.

Thanks! Yeah, I think the default loadout for tanks is something like 75% AP and 25% HE, so his last 3 shots were like HE. Poor bastard...he did more damage than me even, and either of us did over twice as much as anyone else. That'll teach him to change the default loadout though  Edit: After lots of back and forth, I've finally been told that despite being gone for 240 days, I cannot become a recruit. The first guy who replied to me asking about why I couldn't be a recruit, said it was because I'd logged in the on the first of this month. I replied that I had done no such thing. He replied, apologizing for having done a mistake, as he was "looking at the wrong information". However, he could tell me that the reason I couldn't be recruited, was that my account is shown as a recruiter. And recruiters cannot become a recruit, so there's the problem! Except...I never recruited anyone? So I replied saying as much. Adding that the info page for this whole shebang says recruiters can check the status of their recruits on wargaming.net, but when I logged in there was no such info. A different guy got back to me this time, and told me that: "Unfortunately the title "recruiter" is placed on players accounts after they have met a threshold of battles. After looking at your account, I do see that you have passed that threshold and your account has been given the title "recruiter". I completely understand the frustration that this may cause you, and I can assure you that there quite a few of us here at support trying to get this changed." Welp, that's the first I ever heard of how an account with a certain number of battles played can no longer become a recruit, even if it's idle for over 60 days. So I asked if they could tell me more about this unheard of threshold: "Every week our automated system checks account statuses and has the potential to make a player into a recruiter. Battles fought is one of the leading factors of these changes. Because the automated system changed your status to a "Recruiter," you can no longer be recruited by another player. You (as a Recruiter) and any other player who is a Referrer cannot recruit a fellow Referrer. The amount of time spent inactive (240 days) isn't a factor because our system sees that you have played in the past." So...I guess the info on the Refer a Friend is wrong/missing some key parts. And since this is an automated system without any tells, there is no way to know if you're currently flagged as a recruiter or not, except by trying to have someone send you an invite or opening a ticket. tl;dr: The Refer a Friend system is a bit hosed up, and not as easy as it seems.

So it appears pubbies have forgotten how to shoot KV5s. I say this because I marched right down the middle of Sand River dealing out 3k damage and having 1.5k bounce off me. Good times. Still a fun tank. Are the Czech tanks any good? Some of them looking interesting, but with a SP 1C and a Chi Ri sitting in my garage I have enough poor/mediocre tanks to finish.

They buffed the R2D2 so that now for lower tier tanks, even straight-on shots to it can fail to pen. Tier 8s and 9s should still be able to go through easily enough, but those tanks could already just go through the turret face for an easier shot.

Thinking about selling both E 50 and T110E5. I loved then M103 and ended up with around 60% winrate in it, but I just can't get a break in the T110E5. I don't know if green name in land of tomatoes is such a massive arty target or something, but I'm currently sitting at 37% win rate and its just not fun. Plus it's a terrible credits sink. The E 50, I enjoyed the whole panther line, but I just can't get it to work either. The gun is fantastic but the thing is just too big and the armor, beside angled front upper plate isnt THAT great. I'm loving the Skoda T25 but can't imagine myself grinding through the mediocre tier 7 and 8. Same with Cromwell, fun fast tank that turns into slower one at higher tiers. Is the obj.416/T-54 line fun? Maybe I'm just bitching about everything, because in reality I hate this game, but I'm not willing to admit it.

Yeah pretty much, the 88mm is better in pretty much every way except damage. If you use the stock turret, you also pick up some extra gun depression in exchange for ~100 dpm.
