How is the Leopard PT A, I have had it unlocked for a while, but I can get it on "sale" now with the on-track. Not sure I have read much positive about it...

It's kinda controversial, but I find it fun. It just depends on how much you like CHAI-sniping. Zudge nailed the description; just don't get hit in it and you're golden, because the gun is great.

As people have said, it's decently fun. With the stock Leo Proto you have 330kg to play around with. Upgraded turret is 200kg, and it is really the thing you want first. The stock 90mm goes from a rof of 8.57 to 10. 105mm from 5 to 5.83. They both also get an 0.02 accuracy increase with the upgraded turret. And the upgraded gun is actually lighter than the stock one!

What I'm trying to say is: get the turret first. You can actually completely skip the tracks, though you'll want them eventually for increased passability and poo poo.

Dragon Ridge isn't dead, it lives on in the realm of Consoles. Of course they raised the valley floor a lot and changed poo poo so the only part there from the old map is the part that was the actual ridge. But still.

then loving bring it back to the goddamn pc you loving morons

seriously they have the map on console? bring it to the pc, there, one good map done, thirty left to fix or kill

e: actually can we trade away sacred valley to bring pearl river back. it was kind of bad if your tank wasn't mobile enough to reposition, and artillery would either miss totally or one shot kill due to the terrain, but god drat sacred valley is trash.

I just had an incredibly weird game.
One of those matches where your team steamrolls everything before you get anywhere in your giant Japanese barn, the tides even turned twice, so I was out of position constantly and had to run full-steam to even get back in the action. Shot the tip of a 50B's gun, because that was the only thing sticking out, and splash-damaged a teammate in the process. Broke the 50B's gun at least. PINPOINT 15CM ACCURACY

My SINGLE relevant damaging shot was a hail-mary shell lobbed across half the map at a 113 that was capping us. I hit him in the roof and take him out. Game ends, and somehow I'm awarded 250 gold. :confuoot:

Turns out the dude was a Wargaming employee or something?

Please tell me TOGII day is over. It was getting to the point where you compared numbers of TOGs and the side with the most was almost certainly going to be the side that lost. It added a whole new dimension of terror to Random Battles. Also the French heavy tank line? After suffering the horror that is the B1 you are 'rewarded' with the BDR G1 B. A 'heavy' tank with 60mm of armour that can face Tiger Is, not to mention the same tier O-I-Exp. Until you get the top tier gun it may as well drown itself at the start of matches. I've ground out the ARL44 before and I don't recall it being nearly this painful (around Patch 7.2).

I got the TOG rental for two days, so probably not! God it's a turd, battle halfway over by the time you get into some kind of position most of the time.

I bet I made someone mad today, it was on Highway and the match just started. I was scoping out the enemy flag in my arty and saw a tree fall over so I took a shot just for the hell of it--ended up blowing up the enemy arty about 25 seconds into the match.

They're buffing the E 100's AP pen which doesn't matter, but what does matter is they're buffing the VK7201 so that it doesn't have a worse gun than the E 100. Right now the VK has a two second slower reload on the gun, which will soon change:

quote:

VK72.01 (K)

GUN
-Increased penetration of 15cm Kw.K L/36 from 235 to 246mm
-Aim time reduced from 3.26 to 2.7
-Reload time reduced from 21.096 to 19.178
-Rate of fire increased from 2.844 to 3
-DPM increased from 2,133.1 to 2,346.4
-Number of rounds increased from 24 to 35

DISPERSION
-Turret Rotation from 0.153 to 0.096
-Movement from 0.221 to 0.201
-Hull rotation from 0.221 to 0.201
-Turret rotation at maximum speed from 2.76 to 1.73
-While moving at maximum speed from 9.48 to 8.66
-While turning at maximum speed from 5.29 to 4.83

Those dispersion changes seem good, that turret rotation in particular. That's the turret bloom from an Obj 140, and just slightly better movement bloom than the E100 or slightly worse than the E5. The VK was already a slightly faster, thinner E 100 with +2s reload and -200 HP. Now it's a slightly faster, thinner E 100 with better gun handling and -200 HP. Good tank.

That appears to be a thin band between the LFP and UFP, which effectively becomes a weakspot since 240 flat armor is meaningless at tier 10.

Do I really need to get the top gun on the M103, it's 60k XP and seems to do almost nothing compared to the other 120mm

I mean 6% better AP pen, 0.3s better aim time and 0.03 better accuracy are nice but are they 60k XP nice

You don't need it, but it is a quality of life improvement that make the grind noticeably better apparently. I never unlocked it way back and did ok though, my main problem was that I could never fully adjust to the much softer turret, not that the second best gun was bad in any way (though I had suffered throug the 200mm pen on the T32 before gold ammo for credits was a thing, so that probably colored my impression). I also think the M103 has been buffed since then too.

Also, the main difference between the gun is actually projectile speed, the top one is significantly faster.

Prav
Oct 29, 2011

you should get it, the extra reliability from the better pen, laying and acc is really comfortable

yeah 60k is a lot, but it's 60k in one of the more enjoyable tanks in the game

On one hand I'd recommend it, because it made the tank that much nicer to play, but on the other hand, the M103 got nerfed hard in the last few patches (HD models being a nerf for a tank that isn't russian? what a surprise) and now the turret is ridiculously easy to pen and I wouldn't want to play this tank for any longer than I would have to.

Now that I've played Blitz about, like, ten hours or so, I gotta say I'm just... not feeling it. Like, don't get me wrong. The MM bands are better, no arty is great, I like some of the revised tank lines. But for some reason it just feels worse to play. Maybe it's how the game controls.
