Good scary gun vs anything it faces, relatively decent hull armour against Pz. I C spergs, all topped off with 400m viewrange at Tier III. Base.

Mine's at something like 510m viewrange with binoculars and I've not even finished Recon.

That being said, the engine power is utterly pathetic (91hp) and you won't be surviving many surprise blindside attacks. Once you're spotted you'll probably be focused beyond description by redlining clicker poo poo too.

Nope! They're selling it for a reasonable price! Sure it's bundled with 4k gold but that's to stop everyone buying it and preventing lower tier battles being flooded with 'em.

wait do they actually ban anyone for that or do they just "ban" people, because as far as I know no one here has been banned for cheaty mods, and no one here knows anyone that has been banned for cheaty mods.

Like, I get how Wargaming is saying "LOL IT'S BALANCED BECAUSE IT'S SLOW AND HAS A NARROW GUN ARC", but this thing has top notch accuracy, basically no aimtime, a good reload, good pen, good damage, good gun depression.

And above loving all: FIFTY PERCENT STATIONARY CAMO AND FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO METERS VIEW RANGE

Hey now, it's not all roses. It can get into a tier 5 match where it's the only tier 3. Oh what's that, the worst matchmaking it can get is against five tier 4s? Oh.

Check the HE rounds out. You definitely should not fire them as the primary ammo since a lot of tanks at tier 3 and 4 are made out of spaced armor, but going from 110 to 175 damage is quite a boost, and it's enough to oneshot a decent amount of opponents, so carrying 3 or 4 won't be too bad. By the way, 175 damage is enough to oneshot all tier 3 TDs on an average roll....except for the FCM which has the highest HP in class.

None of the premium TDs from before that change lost the ability, because premiums can never be nerfed. Except sometimes.

Yeah, I had no idea when the Pak 40 was introduced. This thing comes with built-in 3k WN8 games on losses, jesus. Score 2 hits, you do your HP's worth in damage. Score 5 hits, 2.5k WN8 game.

Just a casual Pak 40 game, nbd



Hope all the new players had a good time.



Just so incredibly broken.
Most of my victories actually lower my average WN8, because you only smoke two tanks on a flank or any established position, but since taking two tanks out is such a big deal for the match balance, you usually can't relocate fast enough to find some more damage. Some of my highest-damage games have actually been my losses, because the enemy is forced to push into me, and you can blatantly abuse your camo and view range.

Welcome to World of Tanks, friend. Now get riggiddy-wrecked with seven other of your teammates by a broken tank on the other team.

Just another 1440 game in a tier 3, nbd. Top gun stolen by a 45%er T-127 :mad:




Also,
76% WR after 40 games, and it's rising. I get that it'll have to balance to some lower point eventually, but jesus christ

But lol at the one low tier map where each team spawn at the top of like a fish bowl and as soon as the battle starts your binocs turn on and you spot the entire enemy team and murder them. Is that map still a thing for low tiers?

For people who missed out on the FCM's glory days, it used to get tier 3 games on Province. If one team had an FCM, they basically could not lose because 400m view range at tier 3 is ludicrous. If both teams had an FCM, whichever team's FCM fired first would lose, because they'd get spotted back by the opposing FCM, get focused down and then only one team would have an FCM.

Good times.

Mittengard is the map I was thinking of, the wiki says its only for tiers 1 & 2 but I distinctly remember getting games on it in my FCM.

It should be a separate tank.

Crazy accuracy, crazy camo, both moving and stationary. Better gun handling, and it actually packs a punch, as opposed to the regular one.

It's blind as a bat though, I think.

/edit:
270 standard APCR pen at 1500ms shell velocity and 20hp/t for 70kmh is also pretty good. I'd probably get it, but I don't need ANOTHER premium German TD at all
