This is a pretty average game for me:

No clue why it's EU, I clicked USA. Anyways I'm chasing HT-15 on the second campaign currently. Last week when I was on HT-13, I had a game where I blocked 5800 and did 1200 damage in my IS-6. Now that I'm on the mission, no such luck. A few games ago I got to 5864 combined and the last enemy died while I was reloading. It was a flank shot on a Ferdinand. :negative:

Yeah the Church III is great, I have like a 70% WR in it and I solo play all the time. The only time it's kinda blah is in t6 games but that just means you have to use gold ammo.

The KV-220-2 is good when its top tier because there is a good chance that a bunch of people can't damage you. At all.
The downside is, if you aren't top tier, you can't damage other tanks.

The ChurchIII gives no fucks and drives right at things while holding LMB.

T5 fixed MMs are always a ton of fun to platoon in because you have a high chance of affecting games working together and even in the situations where you get wiped out, you go back into the garage, get into another one, and keep playing.

Yeah like I was telling blaargh last night if I had the knowledge I know today back when I first tried that tank out I would have had some serious fun. But ol' me would stay in the back and try to snipe from the back like a jackass. Now I just walk up to tank's faces and slap them in the face with my turret. It's a funnytank

I would say I've tested them but the CT is invariably populated by wankers who sit around playing like poo poo exclusively at Tier X, so I've only tried the Manticore.

E- Also please take this critique with a grain of salt. I do stupid poo poo all the time.

I'm watching it now and I would have done a couple things differently. The T55A you should have known from the map he was coming very close very fast. You running away from the north was a great idea in theory but you provided no backup to the already dumb rear end team mates the WT auf Pz.IV was doing (:wtc:)

That T55 A had you hosed because you failed to keep him in mind during the battle. That and your team mates did no help whatsoever. So I would not blame yourself 100% I would make that map bigger and do not underestimate where tanks were last seen. They are closer than you might think.

You're gonna get no tip

Obj. 252u game on Kharkiv. You you dont need to push the 8 line and bring the lowe into the fight until you clear the 0 line. Dont let the VK100 and T-150 roll up behind your team.

M48 game on Mines. You're too slow to make the cross on to the hill. You lost all your HP to get up there and it wasnt worth it.

M46 game on Studzianki. Don't go to a flank alone. Your team can't help you on the hill from where they are. Don't sit out in the open.

Overall you're too aggressive. Slowing down will help you a lot. You lost all your hp in every game because you were exposed to multiple guns without any cover. Make your mini map bigger.

They're not good at anything in particular over lights that already exist. They have no niche. The T10 only has 16 105mm shells, and with maxed crew, equipment, food, and skills still doesn't break 5rpm. They also weigh next to nothing so even a 20t tank ram will likely end you.

The only x-factor they might have is they might be next-to-impossible to land a hit on due to their smallness (which will likely hinder them further with regards to spotting and ridge-peeking), and even that's been done with the French wheeled lights.

Another issue with the tier 10 is it only has two crew when the rest have three and the commander does EVERYTHING except drive.

That mini map is still tiny. Press the + key until it's as big as it can get. Good job on realizing you don't need to be in the valley and leaving. It would be better if you didn't go there at all. You stopped in the open to trade shots with the BC and Chrysler, that's a big mistake but you got away with this time.
Good job on aiming for the TS-5s engine and setting him on fire.
