I can't use pubbies as retarded ablative armor if they're in a useless part of the map.

Thoughts on the Swedish Leo tank? I'd been planning on keeping the top 75mm for the DPM and handling, but I gave the big gun a try last night and enjoyed it a lot more. Turns the tank into a faster T20 instead of a Comet. DPM is nice and all, but unless the enemy is hopelessly distracted I find it hard to use with the Leo since there's no chance of bouncing a shot. On the other hand, poking out over a ridge every 10 seconds to poo poo 300 damage onto someone is nice as it gives you time to become unspotted again.

It's got sufficiently good frontal armor that it can't pen itself square-on with AP reliably, and good luck with the 61 gold pen @ 8,000 silver a clip at Tier 5, but yeah, fun stuff.

The US Sexton I was probably worse for the game, but at least you had to pay for that, and it instills the proper attitude toward arty in new players.

I'm playing on console, the Blitzen/MTLS is okay for low tiers if you can do drivebys but any range hurts it having two guns to fire is fun though. I just got my first BL-10 gun (ISU-152) and I'm kind of underwhelmed, when people say how good it is are they really referring to the later versions or am I just doing it wrong? It's entirely possible that it's the latter as I am kind of struggling to see where this is supposed to fight from though the armour and accuracy make me think second line, it probably doesn't help that I keep finding myself moving up, but not in a crazy aggressive way, and nobody is coming with me. Also, going back to the Blitzen and other tanks with clips, is there anything I can do off the bat about the reload times?
|
# ? Jan 20, 2017 17:04 |

The ISU-152 platform is risky to be aggressive with before the late game, because you're only going to bounce things off your magnetic mantlet, and too often your huge 286 pen death pill is probably going to faceplant if you moved anytime recently. Eventually, though, you can just roll around one-shotting things if the game develops that way. Vents help clips, and stack with BIA (and food if you're open-handed with your silver).

I run vents, BiA, and food on my SU-152 and ISU-152. Splatting people every 13 or 14 seconds.

So yeah, the Leo is fast, good at poking over things without revealing too much of itself and packs a wallop; definitely a keeper for me. I have the female crew in it and probably will keep them in it for the foreseeable future.

The same thing minus the 300% free xp booster was on sale a few weeks ago for $20. To me that was a pretty good deal if you needed premium time, gold and credits. The 50% credit boosters turn average tier 8 premium tank games into 100K+ credits. I personally don't think 10$ for the free xp boosters is worth it.

Jesus christ either I've suddenly turned into the worst player, or I've been getting cosmically shafted for the past week. 6 for 22, according to Noobmeter, with only slightly worse stats than normal (and in lower tier tanks).

The stock gun on the Lago has a 4s aim time. Couple that with a new 75% crew and it's like 4.4s, hahahaha. What a pile of poo poo.

# ? Jan 21, 2017 06:03 |

So I have researched 8 tire 6 tanks now, but I only have sixth sense on two commanders. Now I feel like I can't advance without that skill. My other crews need about 80 games each to reach 100% first skill. Is it worth grinding or should I just focus on moving up to bigger tanks? My most played tank is at 130 games so 80 games is a lot for me.

E Equals MC Hammer posted:Is this 30 bucks for 1500 gold, 30 days prem, 20x50% 2hr credit boost/ 20x300% xp boost deal any good? I gave my assessment a few days ago: Atomizer posted:http://worldoftanks.com/en/news/pc-browser/31/weekly-deal-jan/ 80 hours worth of boosts for $14 is pretty good. Barry posted:The stock gun on the Lago has a 4s aim time. Couple that with a new 75% crew and it's like 4.4s, hahahaha. What a pile of poo poo. "Stock gun" is the operative phrase there. Stock tanks are usually terrible. The Lago isn't even particularly poor for a tier 4 (when elite.) It was playable, although I'm debating keeping it since there are other 4s (like the TDs) that are probably better at that tier. The next tank, however, will test your patience; it has about a 6-second reload time on a 3" gun, leading to DPM that is almost as bad as the T24. Don't get me wrong, it has other advantages, but the RoF stands out, especially since I did a credit retrain on the crew so they aren't even 100% yet. 2Jets posted:So I have researched 8 tire 6 tanks now, but I only have sixth sense on two commanders. Now I feel like I can't advance without that skill. If the tanks you have (it sounds like you're playing the 5s and have unlocked but not purchased some of the 6s?) are already elite, go ahead and move them up if you're going to sell those tanks anyways; otherwise, if you know you're going to keep the 5s it won't hurt to keep the crews in them for a little more training. Really though, you could just move them up now since they'll finish their first skill eventually as you grind through the next tank; I've played higher tiers without 6th Sense and it's doable (if not ideal.)

6th sense is a lot less important for heavies. Just assume you are always spotted.
