serious gaylord posted:Why did they get rid of Dragon Ridge, Port and that one with the beach? South Coast was poo poo and never improved and north spawn just had a colossal advantage because Wargaming is dumb. Port was poo poo if you were north spawn in the wrong tank. Dragon Ridge was the best competitive map they have ever made and they hate success. Prav posted:hidden village was an extremely bad map that had one mountain valley lane up top where you had to go and butt heads with heavy TDs without any flanking options, and an open field and open flat town that were completely suicidal and unusable Hidden Village's city was entirely destructible so there was literally no cover from the elevated, hidden tanks at either base. Hidden Village was the worst map in the game at the time of its removal.

serious gaylord posted:Would sacred valley be better if there were paths up into the high hills? Or is it just complete irredeemable garbage? Nothing good ever comes from giving pubbies higher and higher hills to climb. If there was a 'mountain road' in Lakeville the map would be even more insufferable.

I realized the only premium I play with any frequency is my Hitler Panther which really isn't that good but it makes ok credits for nice gameplay. This does have to do with most of my other premiums being outdated now 112/IS-6. Even the E-25 doesn't seem to be as much fun as it used to be, the camo nerf must have hit it hard.

I unlocked the Pershing, and had the second "best" 90mm gun unlocked from the T20 already. Should I slap on that or go for the 105mm and shoot HE until I can get the top 90mm? My gut says the former.

My gut says the former. Use the 76mm with HE. More shots = more crits, and with a smaller shell you're less likely to sabotage one of your teammates before you get banned when you shoot them multiple times while you're dicking around with HE and not doing anything of value.

Duzzy Funlop posted:How far have you gone up the tree so far? Are your observations still current? I'm looking for a lower-tier crew to put my crew from the premium TD in. I was actually away from the game for almost a week, but I've played a little more of the tier 6 tonight. - To recap, the Chinese tier 4 is the SU-85B, and it's definitely a keeper (I mean unless you already have the latter and don't want to keep both.) - The tier 5 is the Stug/SU-85 with a bigger gun, and it's OK, but not necessarily worth keeping if you have either of the former. - The tier 6 is like the WZ-131, but without the turret (which is exactly what it is) except it has the old top 100 mm and better camo (I think.) It's very effective BUT is just as limited as any casemate TD. It's basically a faster SU-100 with the 100 mm, and you should be sensing a theme here. The Chinese TDs are just knockoffs of the [original line of] Soviet TDs, generally with bigger or better guns. That's not necessarily a bad thing, because it doesn't look like there's a turd in the line (OK, maybe the tier 3 was a little underwhelming I guess.) - The tier 7 is a buffed version of the 6, or you could think of it as the SU-122 (with a viable 100 mm option.) - The tier 8 is of course based on the WZ-111 hull, so it actually has armor (albeit less mobility) - plus a TD version of the IS-7's gun (so, basically the O263's gun.)  - The tier 9 has the O268's gun, plus some more armor.... - The tier 10 is just a buffed tier 9 (read: even more armor.) So yeah, I think the Chinese TD line is worth playing, if not particularly original.

I'm only on the Tier IV Chinese TD and agree that it's pretty great after you get the top gun. The Tier III is definitely a turd though. I recommend either using Free XP to skip it or just grinding through it ASAP.

Was tier6 to 7 the point at which it's worth taking over a crew for retraining? Might start on those chinese TDs too and I can't get a mission crew so I'll need a new one.

Tahirovic posted:Was tier6 to 7 the point at which it's worth taking over a crew for retraining? Might start on those chinese TDs too and I can't get a mission crew so I'll need a new one. I think six? Just add in a crew-XP consumable every now and then (since you're earning them daily anway with most missions), and you should be able to elite easily before tier 7. In more Chinese TD news, this thing can do some pretty disgusting stuff at tier 8. Angle your casemate and you'll bounce a shitton of stuff (close to 5k in this case). Camo crew at 70% now, with a total camo rating of 43% while stationary. I'm also digging the mobilty of the Chinese tierIV, it has even better camo than the SU-85B, even though it packs 20 less alpha damage. Better camo and mobility should make this thing reasonably effective.
