I think new guy should play russian meds cause there's like dozens of prems like the T54 mod 1, rudy and 85m and I forget what else also the T-34 at tier 5 has like 2k+ dpm with the 57mm gun which is the only gun to use with it. also meds mean you can go places, both where you should and shouldn't so he'll learn maps which is like half of the loving game. also I know nothing about the new lines, which italiano and polska tonks are good?

It's just one of those uncommon words that people aren't sure how to spell/pronounce (how often do you use "turret" in life outside of WoT?) Compare it to "casemate" vs. "casement." Katamari Democracy posted:Funny you mentioned this and I took it to heart. No purchase necessary as all I had to do was research any T V tank; completing it ment I was able to get the Hellcat for free: The Hellcat has been nerfed over the years as it started out quite OP, but it's still probably the best tier 6 TD due to that turrent. The Jackson is very similar though, trading a little mobility for more ammo (which is a very real concern, as with the 90 mm the Hellcat is always in danger of running out of its 30 rounds.) The Achilles, by the way, is another tier 6 turreted TD on the UK tree; it's similar but with a smaller gun (the venerable 17 pdr) although it too can run out of ammo because of the low alpha. (The Firefly is basically a better version of the Achilles.) I'm not sure how the new player bonus stuff works nowadays, but you researched a tier 5 tank and then got a tier 6 for free as well?  In any case, don't play the Hellcat with that 50% crew, at least wait until you can spend the 20k credits per man to get them to 75%.I'll be able to play with you if you're on, on Monday-Weds, then next weekend (I have a weird work schedule.) Hellsau posted:Doesn't it take like an absurd amount of gold to even get the first skill completed, plus having free XP lying around which you'd probably have to convert yourself? I've done it before (free to crew XP) to get 6th sense on a new crew, because 6th is worth it and there's no other good way to do it. I wait for a sale, and IIRC it generally costs ~20k XP to get the first skill to 100%. That's not too bad to get 6th sense on a Commander (I wouldn't bother doing the conversion for any other crew member or skill): say you play a premium tank and get like 2.5k per battle, do that once a day for 10 days to bank 25k XP, then convert that to free XP; even if you don't convert at the 35/gold discounted rate, you're still only spending ~$2-4 in gold to make the game much more playable (per commander.) I don't make a ton of money or anything like that, but I can afford a few bucks for poo poo like this once in a while. Fat Jesus posted:guys how do you pronounce grille The "N" is silent.  Fat Jesus posted:also I know nothing about the new lines, which italiano and polska tonks are good? Polish: Tier 5 is an MT but is basically a paper TD, it's decent for the tier and I prefer it to something like an M4. I skipped the tier 6 but heard it's fine, and I LOVED LOVED LOVED the tier 7 (which is an HT although I didn't notice it at first.) I haven't started the tier 8 yet (I think I'm waiting for a sale or something to buy it) but I hear the 8-10 are decent-to-good, depending on your playstyle and preferences. Italian: IIRC the tier 4 is very good, I hated the tier 5, and tier 6+ are good. The 6 & 7 are solid MTs, and above that they get the autoreloader mechanic (which is the best thing WG has added to the game in a long time.) I've only played a handful of battles in the tier 8 (P44 Pantera  ) but it's hella fun; it's surprisingly fast, and even with only a 2-round autoreloader it adds flexibility.

I unlocked the Cent 7/1 and theres a 150k exp barrier to get the actually useful gun. Including a 45k gun you must unlock which is only used on the cent 7/1 and the only difference to the stock gun is that it fires .2 seconds faster and has an accuracy of .32 instead of .33. 45k exp for that.

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:Most likely, but the wanker was a full HEAT tryhard (I did bounce his first attempt but yeah, then he just captain-bumblefuck-no-skill-all-luck'd his way over me). Sub 45% WR. The E100 is obviously taller than the 257, and if he was firing 155 mm HEAT, it can essentially penetrate that 30 mm plate at any angle. Really the fact that the shell penetrated isn't surprising, nor is it that he hit (because shitters get better accuracy as a "balancing parameter"  ) but rather that he also got an ammorack out of it.serious gaylord posted:I unlocked the Cent 7/1 and theres a 150k exp barrier to get the actually useful gun.

They kind of hosed up the tree even though they made improvements. It was a little less awkward because you could get both 20 pdrs on the Caern (not that you should have to go up the HT line to then go back through the MTs, but that's another story,) even though you couldn't use the B-barrel on the Cent 1. Then they added the 32 pdr to the Caern, which was a serious improvement (also to the Challenger, which is quite playable now, but that's yet another story,) but removed the 20 pdrs from the Caern for some reason.  I have no idea why they rationalized not just leaving those guns researchable on the Caern as intermediaries between the 17 and 32 pdrs, but that leaves the Cent 7 in an awkward place where it's now the only place you have to research a gun that's obsolete by that point.Also, if you think that's bad, take a look at the grind to get the 122 on the WZ-120.... (You have to unlock the 113 just to not spend an extra ~120k free XP to get the top gun!)

Katamari Democracy posted:Not really? Right now I am still playing the Churchill III and learning. But I do tend to stay behind a lot and tend to enjoy picking off shots and doing a poo poo ton of damage. I thought about just buying a T6 to poke around in but I do have plenty of premium days and I need to level up my USA tree a bit to earn it. If you're having fun playing the Churchill III, you should probably get a KV-1 ASAP so you can re-train your C3 crew for it. One thing WG doesn't tell new players is that premium tanks can use any crew of the same nation that are trained to use that class of tank with no penalty. So a KV-1 crew can use a Churchill III with 100% efficiency, but a light, medium, or TD crew will have a penalty. Plus, once you do that, you can start skilling up your KV-1 crew and when it comes time to buy the next tank, you can put them back in the C3 and grind credits *and* experience. Provided you don't burn out, you should probably be at two skills and working on a third by the time you hit the IS-3.

Given the last 3 tier 9's I've gone through have only had to unlock the turret and then the top gun its just utter poo poo.

Remember. The lb-1 on the t-44 used to be the first gun upgrade on the t-54 before you got the actual 100mm guns. And back then, the t-44 still only topped with the same idiot gun that existed from the t-34-85. T-34-85, t-43, and t-44 all used to use the idiot gun back in the day. So your grind in the t-54 was to be at t9 with the idiot gun as the base gun. Then you upgraded to the lb-1 which was a very minor gun handling improvement over the idiot. And then you could move to a real gun.

I'm going to park this thing until I free xp the gun because 230 alpha just isn't scary enough at tier 9. Eh, the E50 is now competitive with the 88/100, and the Cent7 with the 20 pdr B should be similar, but the main issue is that the Cent has ~500 less DPM and to top that off the tank is worse than the E50 in almost every other way. (With their respective 105s the E50 still has more DPM but the Cent has more pen, and is better in some areas like mobility and turret armor.) Getting back to the Cent7 with the 20 pdr, it's not going to be scary but it's a competitive sniper. I mean if you got through the Cent 1 it's more of that until you get the 105.
