I penned the side of a maus with a HESH round in my Cent 7/1 o.0

I thought the maus had some bullshit spaced armor on the sides that would gently caress hesh but I guess not.

210 gold HESH pen against 185 flat armor, the Maus is pretty garbage when it's getting shot in the side or the front or the rear.

nah the hull beak is vulnerable, and if that's angled you can shoot the curved hull under the turret instead. and it's got issues with sidescraping for the same reason

it's still a fairly though tank but not unreasonably so at all. distance really helps it though so it might be possible to do some fun stuff with that

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

Good lord, siege mode sucks a big hairy donkey dick. How do people enjoy this tank? I get that the 103B has incredible moments when it's in the right position and employs its camo...but I don't see how people suffer through every other moment that isn't exactly that.

Also, I just got my first match as top tier in the Type 4 with the new gun. Wreck loving face all day. Bopped a Centurion in the tracks for 720 damage, broke three modules in one shot. Next shot hit an FCM50t for 699. Missed the fourth shot, then ammo-racked a full-health T71. Jesus Christ.

This here also doesn't look quite right:

Yeah that power-to-weight ratio is making me wince, and the terrain resistance is a bit worse than the normal Cent as well. Not sold on that thing at all.

Well this is disappointing. If it can still have games like this though it'll be worth it.



The IS-7 in that game was quite possibly the worst player I've ever faced in a tier 10 tank. Just kept driving over a ridge, giving me his lower plate and then snap shotting at my front armour.

Also I got the ace tanker in the super pershing by being the only tank to hold the low line on my team. Amply supported by 3 artillery and a lovely moment where an Emil bounced 3 of his 4 shots, I kept him tracked and just drained his health.

I love it playing the SP and those bounced shots. "Oy, where's this fucker at? There he is! BLAM Next!" Saved my rear end a few times when those damned Scorpions would bounce shots out of view range. gently caress those Scorpions

Its frustrating at times because like you say, you can bounce a skorpion regularly, but the one time you need to, it goes right through.

Depends on whether your opponent knows where to shoot it or has the accuracy to. The hull machine gun port, the turret cheeks under the wing armor, and the commander's hatch are the most obvious. If they have any elevation over you, you're hosed. I've dueled other SPs and they waste shots on the riot armor while I pen them in the commander's hatch or get a shot into the turret ring. Of course your sides are butter. Not sure about the rear, I've had multiple tanks bounce shots off my rear end and was like "how did you gently caress that up?".

Here's a breakdown of your front armor. There's plenty of shootable spots, but you need to aim and know where they are. Most players don't aim.

I will say this, I've never been ammo racked in the SP. I've experienced it in everything else I've used and racked others, but never the SP. At worst I take some damage and my reload time slows

Lol, this game.

I got called an rear end in a top hat for repeatedly ramming some tank hulk I was facing off against while my team encircled their last arty. Not my fault you decided that me right around the corner from you was no longer worth the effort for some reason. So you instead decided to engage tanks on the other hill across the map by turning your side to me to pump repeated hits into. He knew I was there, we'd been trading shots, hell, I thought busting his commander's hatch sent him into a suicide dash at me till he stopped and turned to start trying to peck at others.

The player base on this game is :allears:



That was special. But perhaps not so special as an Assault my team won on Erlenburg. The SU100 driver was bitching loudly about not having targets spotted after he died while on the H line. This was when we had effectively won and the only way we could possibly lose would be if all the remaining tanks got killed. They got really upset when I pointed out that TD drivers on the H line defending an Assault really don't get to call other players scrubs. Apparently my driving of a KV1 was sufficient cause for me not to get to talk and (after obviously going and checking my account stats) called me a reroll who needed to conceal my average performance in tanks. :supaburn: dude I'm hurting all over.
