Was it spaced armour? Spaced armour gives a green pen marker because it only shows the thickness of the outer layer.

No, it wasn't. It was the back of a 257 turret.

I don't know if the default one doesn't, but there's modded ones that show how much pen is required to go through sloped armour.

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

Yeah, there used to be a really good one from MeltyMap (or whatever his name is), but there are still a few choices that give you a real-time calculation of effective armor at current angle, and your current pen in a very apparent xx/xx format. One of them (I forget which one) colors your pen differently if your average pen can't pen, but a high pen-roll still could, so you've got a hail mary option in there as well.

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

I've had so loving many unnecessary gently caress ups in the Progetto on account of

a) not having a routine with the (to me) new autoreloader mechanic

b) not having sixth sense on it until a handful of games ago

The former has led to a lot of:

- me miserably mistiming dives on low-HP tanks because I was a second off a full reload, but shot early and then sat there in front of a 50 HP tier ten because i only had two rounds to loose
- me preselecting Premium ammo for my next shot but not realizing that all three of my currently loaded rounds will still be standard rounds
- me double-tapping the 2 key instinctively when suddenly being confronted by heavily armored tanks and then stupidly diving out when only the first round is reloaded

The latter just leads to the obvious fiery deaths because literally every single other tank in my garage has sixth sense and I kept acting like I do in the Progetto.

But Holy poo poo, this thing makes absolutely stupid amounts of credits

You aren't the only one. a lot of the Progettos I run into are suicide machines. They get all huffed up on farts from those three loaded shells and bum rush tanks whether they can finish them off or not, dump all three shells and forget an empty mag takes a while to load the first shell so they get taken apart while frantically trying to scurry away

I'm already halfway through tier 5 of the British challenge, I reckon 70% - 80% discount should be no big deal at all

Also, did I mention the Progetto 46 is fun?

And the Type 4 heavy?

And the AMX 1357?


Okay then.

I've found that trying to forget about your gold rounds makes it a lot smoother. If push comes to shove and you're trying to carry against heavily armored targets, then I try and hide and reload the full mag.

got the big gun on charioteer ..cant say iv gotten to use it much cause tier 10 battles so far yet but its gonna be expensive to use it looks like..5200 per hesh round going to be temping to spam that when i see lower armored targets gonna carry 10

after some battles the HESH has mostly failed me.. like doing 67 damage on a batchat ap, and 114 damage into the rear of a t44100.. not sure if im gonna rely on it to do damage anymore

new mission set unlocks tomorrow too btw. looking forward to that since i finished the first set in less than a week and the tank it gives you sucks so this reward has to be better

huh, i just updated this dumb game and bought some premium. Tanks is... fun?? Not really doing particularly well, but I'm at least enjoying myself. promised myself to stop playing again if I ever got ANGERY at video games. New maps (engine?) look great, tanks look nice, arty seems better/less annoying to play against. Tons of tanks I've never seen before tho.

You barely need mods it seems too. Tried installing some, but ended up with way more than what I wanted. I just want the server crosshair, UT announcers and xvm + possibly the enemy reload thing. Ingame map has last spotted and stuff like that now right?

Enjoying the chinese t9 light!

Do tier tens on EU sometimes get queue time outs with Grand Battles turned off like they do on NA? I can't imagine trying to play Grand Battles with a Type 5.

Also 15v15 tier ten battles don't sound as hilarious as 3/5/7 battles with the Type 4, even tier 10/9/8 has a bunch of tier 8s that can get full penned for a oneshot and most of the rest will lose half their HP on a typical non-pen.

I only have one tier ten in the E-100, and I don't play it much, because I suck at the E-100, so I can't really say. The Type 5, however, I definitely know how to play.

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

Getting close to my fourth skill on the AMX 13 57, going with recon on the commander to push past 450 view range, but I'm a little undecided on the gunner/loader and driver.

I already have smooth ride on the driver, so I immediately thought of clutch breaking, but I recall someone saying a while back that clutch breaking is actually detrimental to already-nible/fast tanks because you lose control easier due to "oversteering". Is that still the case? I know off-road driving gives a really minute bonus, but I'd rather have that than impact the control of the 13 57 negatively.

Different question with the gunner/loader. I experience ammo-rack damage so rarely (and even then, it's not a problem because it doesn't affect your intra-clip reload, so you can unload and relocate before repairing the rack), that I'm thinking of grabbing Deadeye for funzies. IIRC, deadeye increased the change for module damage per shot, and since I'm unloading almost my full ammo-load each game, and pen 70%+ of my shots, I figured that'd be fun

The 13 57 doesn't turn like a crazy RC car like the Luchs does, you'll be fine with Clutch Braking. Or choose the ramming skill if you're not a coward.

Deadeye is the fun skill and you want to have fun, right? Deadeye, pew pew pew rack damage pew pew pew rack explosion.

Breaking people's things is some of the most fun I have in this game, my man.

Speaking of breaking things, nailed a 268 v4 that was steeply cresting a ridge. Aimed for the LFP, caught him in the floor for 1370 damage and a kill. :)
Also nailed a full-health FV4005 in the turret side for an ammorack to send his barn turret flying and started jubilating like the second coming was upon me. Turns out he was HESHed by a Conway in the same spot split-seconds before my own hit, so it wasn't a full-health kill unfortunately. Still. :)

This is basically what I did; as I've written previously, I played & enjoyed the tier 5 but then jumped to the 7 and I'm lovin' it. It's basically a better IS; the alpha is lower, but everything else is better: gun handling, pen, mobility, armor. It's sluggish for sure, but mobile enough that I thought it was a MT because I wasn't paying enough attention. :downs: It's shocking how much stuff will bounce off you, although tier 10 guns (on tier 9 tanks) still go right through the front.
