On a more positive note, the M4 Revrevrevrev is now a beast of a tank that peaks ridgelines with almost impunity while blasting fools with 400 dmg laser rounds and zipping around at 40kmh.

Yeah. I mean, it's only 29 feet long, six feet longer than an actual Panther.

I see the Tiger's getting a buff again. I assume APCR standard is next.

Do y'all use the 57mm or the 85mm on the KV-1? I've been using the top gun (85mm), but I feel like the 57mm could be pretty sweet. With rammer, vents and BIA, it fires close to 32 RPM and has .31 accuracy while doing nearly 2700 DPM.

The KV-1 is one of a very very small handful of tanks where you can make an argument for 3 different guns and all of them are more or less viable. the 57 has the best DPM, the 85 is a pretty solid all-rounder, and the 122 just smacks down anything lightly armored, and can punch up fairly well.


Use whichever you prefer, all of them are workable.

Completely agree. I didn't have any equipment or a good crew on mine so the 85 seemed like the best to me, personally.

I just rolled a couple games with the 57mm, and it was pretty fun. It's like driving a Churchill III with really good accuracy when you're top tier. When you're not top tier, tap 2 and wreck poo poo.

edit: Right now I just have rammer/camo net/binocs. If I earn some credits, I may splurge and buy a GLD and vents for the KV-1.

Played the game. Was actually doing reasonably well, if still worse than my overall average, before I decided to get my double done in my 261 and tanked my stats, ended the day with a 50% WR and green stats. I don't know what I was expecting.

i think it's that they shoot really fast and are hard to see. An E-25 can pick apart a whole flank by themselves. The little bee sting damage just makes it easier for them to go unnoticed.

The E-25 is a 'hard mode' tank. It's like that old John Lennon quote - "I'm an artist - you give me a tuba, I'll get you something out of it."

Pubbies like it because it moves fast and shoots fast, and they can sit in a bush the entire match and feel like they're ~contributing~ because they're in an OP tank.

I think it has the best camo when firing in the game. It's laser accurate and has absurd DPM for its tier while also being fast and agile. It doesn't see t9s and between its accuracy and workable APCR pen there aren't many t8s that are safe when fighting it, though it was even better before the IS-3 and IS-6 armour buffs and the M4 49. The solution to OP tanks is power creep, evidently.

Even if you're a complete incompetent can do better than you "should" by sitting in a bush in your own cap and holding down left click on the first enemy to appear. Good players can dominate games that don't have enough heavily armoured t8s to check them.

It's only real flaws are the lack of armour and the low ammo count. Though for armour the mantlet and roof when facehugging can get some odd bounces when the enemy can't overmatch you.
