First I've heard anyone say the 113 is a meta tank. Maus is broken though.

113 pretty fun in random games though for sure.

The German medium line is one of the best in the game, with the only downers being the 50M getting power creeped out and the Indien into PTA being real underwhelming compared to what else you could be doing. You have like a million German medium premiums available, but most of them suck. The T25 is fine because it's just a good tier 5 medium with a pile of HP and great top speed. The Warcrime Panther (M/10) is actually good post-buff since it's just a Panther that sees up to tier 8 matches and trades its pen away for a sizable amount of benefits in bloom values and traverse rate. The Mutz is a worse CDC, the Panther 8.8 is a bad Panther 2, the T 55A is fantastic, and all the ones that I didn't mention here are crap for one reason or another. Get a T25 if there's a sale on premiums in May for V Day.

People keep bringing the 113 to clan wars and it doesn't work out but yeah the Maus has 3200 HP and more DPM than the E 100 and its turret face is still terrible against gold ammo but whatever.

So just how much less painful did the American T28 tank destroyer get after getting its mobility buffed in the last patch?

I ask because I've been thinking of re-buying the T28-prototype while its on sale, and using the new side branch to jump over into the T28 to get to the E3. However, the consensus seems to be that the T28 is a piece of poo poo, but I cant really read anything written after the buff. I already have all the engines and guns researched form the E4 line so playing stock won't be an issue.

I guess the same question applies to the T95, but from my understanding its quite decent, especially after the speed buff.

The T95 turns really goddamn fast now. I haven't seen many T28s, but it still suffers from having a big flat 220mm armor zone with an engine behind it on the front, combined with goddamn cupolas on top so even if the opponent doesn't have high enough pen to just punch straight through, they can still shoot your obvious weakspots. I guess if it can turn faster maybe it's better now since some rear end in a top hat in a tier 6 can't just go around you and murder you for free, but the useless front armor makes it a chore to play even with 1500 HP.

The Proto is fine now. It needs to get its HP buffed like the T28, but whatever. Lol they still haven't gotten rid of the machine gun weak spot. I wouldn't recommend buying it unless you really don't want to play the line leading up the E3 line - the Wolverine, Jackson, and T25 AT are all fine to good tanks, and you get to train up a new crew. Pretty sure it's the same amount of experience as just crossing over from the Proto.

Pretty sure there's been a french heavy line in the works for as long as I've been playing. At least one of the tanks was even modeled back in like 2012.

Also, unrelated to anything, apparently my longstanding connection issues (that several people I've platooned with have had to deal with) were caused by my ethernet cable being plugged into a specific port on the router?

Well, I even had a decent time playing through the proto before the buffs, and with the increased speed it should be no problem. Its only the T28 that worries me, although playing it with all the guns and engines from the get-go should hopefully make that easier. I just want that drat E3!

Actually since we're on the subject of chat and trolling, here's a good one from yesterday. Some Skorp G intentionally TKed me because me and Exia won the game for our team. We went hill on Malinovka, won it, were pushing through and then the Skorp G and the rest of our idiots who camped base finally pressed W and shot their two base defenders so the Skorp G could get a shot on me. Replay for the game:

I am Tanks Trump and have spent tens of thousands of dollars and STILL I don't have a Type 59. I'm going to tweet terrible things unless they give me a Type 59.

as I was typing this they continued responding and oh dear god they're still going oh my god I've hit a jackpot lol










Anyone want to keep this poo poo train going? You can pretend to be my dad and message this guy asking why he's bullying your son, Chillsau, and that you make 30 million dollars of year so spending $50000 isn't that big a deal. I really wish that fantasy website that tells you how much money/gold you've spent actually existed :(
