In short yes. The average pubbie does not know how to fight autoloaders in general. They need easy tanks where they can sit in the open trading shots like a battleship of old.

This is also why botes is successful.

.4 accuracy is kinda butt, but you get 320 alpha, 2567 dpm, 215 pen and great mobility.

Always, and forever.

Pre-nerf bulldog has a pretty savage autoloader on it, and I managed to dump the entire mag into someone and boy howdy were they upset out it.

The only ones that are a huge problem are the ones on those czech tanks, because they are super accurate at long range, which is something that the US and French guns never were.

French autoloaders used to be reasonably accurate before they got nerfed into the ground.

Michaellaneous posted:

There's actually a huge problem in World of Tanks with burst damage, where autoloaders go unpunished a large amount of the time for just spewing wild shots off, or for moving in and clipping someone out, simply due to stupid game mechanics and a terrible playerbase. It leads to poo poo like the TVP being able to do truly absurd things because they never get punished for just clipping out at range due to #snapshotmeta, and never get punished for reloading because pubbies refuse to accept even the phantom possibility of being damaged because reload times don't exist.

The solution to that is not to make the autoloader literally worse than a same-tier single shot gun, or by nerfing the burst damage to the point where it's worse in burst damage than same tier single shot guns, but instead by making the autoloader more awkward to position to maximize damage and by reducing opportunities by increasing the time between clips. Wargaming are stupid as gently caress, see also 183mm guns being disproportionately strong against lower tier tanks.

If you have any battle buddies, you're not trying hard enough to win. Give your teammates some encouragement.

e: not even once



uh do these damage numbers add up? At a glance it looks like your team did VASTLY less damage than the enemy team, yet you had two tanks alive at the end...

Despite what people say, I thought the Ferdinand was really good, but goddamn the Jagdtiger is just insanely good. Now I regret waiting almost six years before getting it. I'm still using the Ferdi's cannon and can't believe it will only get better from this. I guess it's pretty telling that 3961 dmg and 1763 spotting dmg only earned me a 2nd class Mastery Badge. :psyduck:

Yes, on a relative scale, a fully upgraded JT has fantastic damage output and can basically ignore aiming for weak spots with the gold rounds, while at the same time being sufficiently mobile and armored to let that gun do its thing. The JP100 does however not feel as awesome in tier but its not too shabby for solo pubbing, it has great armor, workable mobility and a gun that can eat through anything. The armor and high alpha enable a markedly different playstyle with peek and poke etc, and the huge shell makes even the HE round usable to root out those few things that you can't penetrate (I'm looking at you, hull down IS-7). The reload sucks though, and always will be a source of annoyance.

Yes.
God drat the Leo is such a good tank. With the 75mm it's very comparable to the Comet; It trades away 2 degrees of gun depression and ~160 dpm for better gun handling, higher shell velocity and higher top speed.
Or you can be a big boy and stick on the 100 mm gently caress-you cannon, which is a bit clunky but very much manageable with a GLD and relevant crew skills, and blap fools for 300 damage a pop. Not exactly a staggering alpha strike, but plenty hefty for a fast tier 7 medium.

Also it looks pretty cool.
