Hellsau posted:So the E-25 and the Warcrime Panther have the same gun and get the same preferential tier 7 matchmaking. The Warcrime Panther is sluggish, giant and armorless, the E-25 is fast, tiny and armorless. The Panther has 1870 DPM, the E-25 has 2800. Counterpoint: The Warcrimes is one of the 3 pref 7s (the 3rd being the AT-15A) and since the E-25 isn't available anymore, if he wants to platoon with us in ours he has to either bring a 6 or one of the 2 remaining crappy pref 7s.

The real solution is to bring a T6 arty along their E-25s and tk their asses.

The Warcrime Panther is bad and yet it keeps sort of kinda working well for me, maybe it's a similar effect that made the Black Prince work for so many people. My last game in it was 90k profit I guess having as many hitpoints as a tier8 medium comes in useful every so often, too. Plus, the thing came out back before many of the signifcant VK 3002D buffs, so whenever you saw some dipshit running DB with the stock turret to 'save weight' you knew you at least had better dpm than that, because back in the day running stock turret/L70 on the DB was something like 1400 dpm, extremely pitiful. Plus, at the time, the 8 degrees depression on the Warcrime was actually kinda uncommon among German mediums, so it had enough decent bits (superior turret bloom stats to tech tree mediums, too) to where one could say "you know, this isn't great, but the pref-MM makes it okay". Also the E-25 didn't exist when I bought mine, I think. It's better than the Pz IV Schmalturm, which has the same gun, sees the same top end MM (tier8) and is excruciatingly slow. Warcrime Panther is Not Good but it was never the worst German medium premium and the gap is still widening with things like the Turan III or Pz. IIIK being released

I tired to stomp on a tank on Westfield mid game but got stuck face first in a weird crevice. However, I somehow came out of that game with no damage received and 3.5k spotting damage since I was stuck in a position where I could see the enemy base. lol

http://worldoftanks.com/en/tournaments/1000000292/ Great result today, mostly fun. I lost against PAPET, however. Why, you ask? Well remember how they said "mediums only?" He had an SU-122-44. Sure, I tracked him on my first shot, which he repaired. He repaid me with a high roll that set me on fire and hosed up my modules. I repaired but basically had little time or ability to recover, sucked. He and another player who exclusively played an O-Ni got 2nd and 3rd. "Mediums only" my rear end.

You're right, I did forget about that, except it's another one that you can't get so Blindeye posted:http://worldoftanks.com/en/tournaments/1000000292/ I would think that the tourneys would lock out invalid tank selections like other tank modes (companies, etc.) do, but if they somehow managed to bring those tanks then I'd suggest reporting them, they should get DQ'd.

There were 2 solid players in the group that were in 4th and 5th place because they lost to those two players. But lol at wargaming not locking tank selection.

Compared to the newer premiums the warcrime panther looks positively good. It's not great but when picking out the worst premiums in the game there are far, far worse tanks that are still available. Hell if WG added the warcrime now it'd be exactly the same tank but without preferential MM. The biggest problem with the warcrime was that the E-25 came out and was just better in every way.

I had the pubbie from hell today. Top tier heavy, T29 charges into the enemy and does zero damage. Worst yet, he dies in a position that allows the enemy to use his corpse like a shield for the rest of the game. Holy poo poo.

That's not a really fair comparison - the newer premiums have been some of the worst tanks not only in their own tier, but worse than tanks one or two tiers lower than them! Also, pref matchmaking goes a long way - the Matilda BP is hilariously trash, but would you rather forced to play a Matilda BP or a Turan III? They're both slow, armorless with low ammo capacity, but at least the Matilda BP can bounce lower tier poo poo and won't see tier 7s. The Turan III can at best kill two tier 7 heavies and then be totally out of ammo! That's ludicrous. Why does such a poo poo tank see tier 7s?! Come on Wargaming. Even then though, the tier 7 premiums are actually pretty sweet for the most part, except the FV201. Even the poor loving AT-15A got buffed to barely adequate levels.

You would have been demonstrably better off if you and your teammates had executed that player and used their corpse rather than allowing them to benefit the enemy.

The Turan III can at best kill two tier 7 heavies and then be totally out of ammo! That's ludicrous. Why does such a poo poo tank see tier 7s?! Come on Wargaming. In its own right I rather enjoyed the Warcrime Panther and played it somewhat regularly before the E-25 came out. That was also back when there weren't any other German medium crew trainers except the T-25 down at t5. I haven't kept up on all the new premiums but my vague impression is that the Mutz and the Panther 88 are both playable tanks, so I guess you'd use those instead. Or my T-55a which really isn't very good but is still rare enough. The AT-15A needed several hundred extra hitpoints and has been the only tank added while I've been playing, perhaps ever, where WG has given it preferential MM after releasing it. Now it's "barely adequate" and I don't regret selling it at all. I sold the Matilda BP too, and if not for it earning me a Type 59 I'd sell the Turan too. e: Between the 15A, the Matilda BP, the 201, the Sexton 1, the TOG, and the original 4202P (which was only buffed when WG was too blatant when they made it deliberately bad and got caught), the British can't catch a break with premiums. They've got the Excelsior and the Cromwell B, which was absurd because it was a better version of the best t6 medium, but that's really it. I'm assuming the AC1 and AC4 are bad too, not that I've much attention to them. Desuwa fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Aug 14, 2016 |

You get worse armor and worse functioning up hills in exchange for 50 more HP and a better gun, and a slightly smaller profile. The T-55A is great. The T-54 is great. Neither of them compare to the old, 400 pen HEAT T-54, or the old pre-HD T-54.

And it trains a German crew because German mediums are so popular in Clan Wars that Goons don't do anymore because we can't ever have nice things unless we're ALL in the same container, led by someone who can con us all into thinking he's charismatic.

Hellsau posted:Wait I thought they rolled back the T-54 Lightweight nerfs? I thought 9.15 cut the dpm by 10% and a few other small tweaks: "Reload time of the 100 mm D-10T gun for the T-54 ltwt. version turret changed from 7.6 s to 8.2 s. Aiming time of the 100 mm D-10T mod. 1945 gun for the T-54 ltwt. version turret changed from 2.2 s to 2.1 s. Reload time of the 100 mm D-10T mod. 1945 gun for the T-54 ltwt. version turret changed from 7.5 s to 8.3 s." I mean, other than the dpm which is about 2k now it's unchanged. I just unlocked that and the 13 90 this weekend and my female crews on on them, wondering if I'll be disappointed with either. Considering I somehow do fabulous in the 13 75 I'm not as worried about the 13 90 because I can just poo poo on pubbies by ambushing them but the T-54 lightweight with rammer/vstab/optics might require a bit more getting used to.

All joking aside, running CW requires you or trusted and knowledgeable deputies to be available about two hours BEFORE the chips are finalized for an evening's engagements/defenses. Then you have an additional 1-2 1/2 hours of potential encounters, regular fights/defenses, then offset matches, etc. You have to be in communication with allied clans via both THEIR teamspeaks and the loving oil slick that is the WoT forums at all hours of the day. You have to have a presence in the sewage treatment plant that is the CW Diplomacy forum as well, home of troll, furry, serious-business brony, and I TAKE THIS SUPER SERIOUS, THIS IS MY 'NAM, BRAH I DROVE AN M48 clans, all of which have to be treated with a modicum of, yes, diplomacy. And that's just a brief synopsis. 4-5 hours per night, worrying about internet tanks, then ~100 people all clamoring for 'advances' on attendance payments.

The Warcrime panther isn't good but I think it's about where premiums should have been relative to the tech tree tanks. It was worse than most of the tech tree t7 mediums but not by an insurmountable amount and it had preferential MM. The Dicker Max is actually good, though. I was rather excited for the Sturer Emil because I thought it was going to be a Dicker Max with a better gun, but aside from having good depression being shaped vaguely like a dicker max they had very few similarities. Hell my first Dicker Max game was a Kolobanov's medal. I wouldn't actually recommend buying it, though.

You're assuming we need/want to be good. Why can't we just poo poo all over everyone else and play tanks and be thoroughly mediocre/bad? Unrelated: How does the penetration indicator on tanks.gg work? It seems like, when you're viewing a 3D tank model, the penetration is set to something like 175mm by default. However, if you choose one of the other camera settings (like "Calculate penetration as if shooting from 100m away"), it switches to the gun on the tank you're viewing. Can you just choose a gun for which you want to calculate penetration values? Seems really wonky.
