Was not looking forward to the Leo due to its really lackluster stats. poo poo view range since the top turret actually unlocks after the top gun, and not even a full equipment load fits on the thing with the stock tracks. So I was as stock as I could possibly be.
Was expecting some truly afwul games until I had the thing fully unlocked.

First game:



Uh, okay :stare:

Carried a 3 vs. 8 along with our SU-100, and a useless Hellcat. Completed MT-7 with honors, and Coalition-15 for the Excalibur without even knowing they were active.

The Leo is pretty drat solid. I've only played it with the 75 instead of the bigger gun, but it's quick enough and pleasant to play.

Duzzy Funlop posted:

Also, man I'm enjoying the manageable bonuses you can apply 5 times. Nothing wasted on a loss, and you basically get a massive kick-start to unlock stock tanks.

Wargaming...good?

Agreed, except 6th sense isn't default on all vehicles yet. :suicide:

I played for the first time in a while a few days ago, and it was definitely nice to be able to apply those bonuses although like you said, actually getting a good battle was the hard part. A 4k-damage game in the WZ-111whatever (tier 9 HT) apparently wasn't good enough to win, and I finally had to use the bonus on a 1k-damage match just to get it over with. :suicide:

*And holy gently caress, are we getting a new tier 8 premium tank every week now? Last week it was the TS-5, before that it was the Lansen, now this thing? Jesus christ Wargaming.... :stare:

I wanted to go back and find this post of mine, because, while the T27 isn't actually out yet, I still wanted to note the period of time between the last new premium tank and the next one. So, like, a month between new premium tanks now. :stonklol:

And the T103 doesn't seem overpowered, but it does feel kind of...unnecessary. It's a big turreted TD that looks like a KV but without any armor, and while there haven't been a ton of tier 8 premium Soviet TDs (I can't tell you the last time I saw an ISU130,) we did get the SU130 not too long ago, and that's more than adequate (and not too dissimilar.) At least with the TS5 it was literally the first and only of its kind for the US tree, and the Germans have the reasonably-different JT88, Skorpion, and KJP, for example.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
Enjoying the Leo so far. Gave the top gun a spin, and it's quite different, but still workable. I assumed it would have less options at higher tiers due to the lower applied dpm through worse handling, but since you pretty much assume a completely different role in tier 9 matches, and get into different positions while playing less aggressive, you get a lot more side-shots that hurt more. So I guess I'll try out both options a little more before settling on one.

On paper the Leo looks like an ice pick lobotomy, glad to hear it is not. Might need to check it out.

Also I took the advice and put the Dakka-Dakka-Dakka gun on the AT-15 and holy poo poo is it a scary dpm monster. Only played a few games in it with that gun and all of them were around 2k+ damage.

I still don't know why the game with all the napkin tanks still won't retrofit all of the first-gen autoloader tanks with the Italian method. They could even do it on the AMX-13/57 because while it'd make the tank insane, it'd also turn it into an ammo-less scout even faster.

I loving love the SU-130PM. I have been harping on it since I earned mine in this thread several times and you are right. The the SU-130 is basically twinzies with its german counterpart Scorpion G; it does have its great perks at being very stealthy. Perfect for scary cats like me who chill in bushes often near the red line.

E- Oh and it prints credits.

It reloads (albeit at a slower rate) while you're expending shells from the magazine. The Italian method means that you have another shot ready sooner than the French/old method of having to force-reload the magazine or ~just deal with it~ in regards to a complete reload. It'd give so many more older tanks that've been largely obsoleted more effectiveness and flexibility. The IS-3A uses the "reverse" of the Italian method which is game-breakingly broken it's so good.

This would make tanks like the tier 8 and 9 amx branch good true, however can you imagine what it would do to the Batchat AP and 25T? Especially the AP with the 6 shot gun.

Apparently the changes to the Swedish heavies have been reasonably positive by dropping a shot and upping the alpha. This won't work for the Frenchies of course but I'd rather they did something different than the autoreloading style for France.

The French tanks could theoretically stay unchanged simply because as I recall - at least on the AMX-13s with the autoloaders, the magazine had to be changed from outside of the tank.

Even so, a four-shot AP with Italian autoloading would be nice, and the 25t could be adjusted to compensate for the new capability.
