If it was the 13 75 you would be signing a different tune. The 12t was garbage when it was first introduced and now considering how long it's been, it is power creeped. I do love the Batchat, but it is starting to show its age. The tank is fast and stealthy, but it has 0 armor and a derpy gun that has a slow reload. When used right it can be a terror. But it is super easy to have trash games in it unlike some other T10 tanks.

It's been awhile but I think I liked the 13 75. I am probably just not patient enough with the french auto loaders. Even the 1390 felt pretty bad when I tried to play it again after grinding out the wheeled tanks.

13 90 was amazing when it first came out. Time has not treated it well either. The gun is just not up to snuff anymore.

I really enjoyed having to play through the 13 90 3 times because of how they kept rolling in new lines plus adding additional LTs...

Remember when the French light line was released and the 13 90 could straight up murder pretty much anything one on one by zooming up behind it and unloading a full clip? Good times, good times.

I remember quite vividly soloing an IS-7 in the 13-90 when it was released. Set him on fire twice and booked it the gently caress out of there. It was amazing :allears:. Oh how the mighty have fallen...

The 1390 wolf packs were the worst. At least the Type 59 wolf packs you could see coming. The 1390's would appear, murder like 3 tanks, disappear, then show up on the opposite side of the map and do it again.

I really get on with the French light tanks and I do like the 12T. It is the worst tier 8 light in reflection but if you know what you're doing you can really make it work.

Im a big fan of the batchat too but you're just so at the mercy of tier 10 teams with it. If you get the right map and team loadout you can do an easy 3-5k per match. You get a typical tier 10 curb stomping and your gun misbehaves? Well you're going back to the garage with less than 1500 damage.

Every pub was so bad at tanks 5 years ago but oh my god in the time since they've only gotten worse, it feels like every time I start to lay the foundations of a good game whoops an entire flank collapsed while doing apparently no damage and half a dozen angry assholes come trucking up behind me on full hp :argh:

This was me the past two days when I did sit down to do some tanks before giving up and playing something else.

I had some fantastic games for myself in my O-Ho, Progetto, and even my KV-3, but no matter how much it seems like I do, holding an entire flank solo against 3-5 other tanks, the other flank with the majority of the team just gets wasted and its me and the two other semi competent players left on the team trying desperately to salvage something and usually failing.

Then in one of my O-Ho battles, it was left to Me, A T95, and a T9 Maus that was very vocal in his anti Gold ammo because Gold=Noob and well, pretty sure that is why we lost as his last few shots all appeared to bounce, not to mention he had literally no understanding on how to angle his own armor to boot.

On the positive side, my O-Ho got its first Moe and if I can keep up my damage output, should be 3 marked pretty easily. That derp cannon is wonderful at it's tier. Nearly one shotting a Progetto with it will never get old.


Pubbies will always be pubbies.


I did run into one or two games where me and one other random would actually hold an entire flank, and push to somehow pull victory off amid the ever lingering smell of defeat from the other side of the map. It is rare but sometimes you do find a functional brain among the brainless.

It always amazes me when my entire team goes down the opposite flank as I and manages to lose that flank. I think arty scares them, they start huddling behind bushes, then get picked off by tds in the back.

The worst "tactic" I've noticed is to get into peeking battles with one enemy tank vs three or more friendlies where they're getting artilleried to poo poo but never ever EVER think to flank the one thing pinning them in position to get picked off.

In the reverse situation, they will also never react to drawing fire away allowing them to advance, they'll just sit and hide while the 3 tanks all look at me instead and gun me down. No amount of chat spam will wake them up.

Why flank there though? The problem with pubbies isn't that they don't flank - all they need to do is literally hold W and left click the enemies and they'd win dramatically more often, but instead they throw away their 5v2s or whatever.

Having 2 thirds of your team held up by 3 tanks is horrid. Worse is in the end game when the full HP TD's finally come forward and refuse to take one hit to kill an enemy tank

Gotten Steel wall with almost all the games I played in this tank today almost enough that my brother and I made it an ongoing joke over discord on how stupid that tank easily gets that medal.

Its a pretty pimp tank at Tier 9.

Just as a heads up, it's roof is pretty weak. Any tank taller than you that is driven by a thing that has developed a frontal lobe will know to shoot it.

I ran into that the same day on my main gaming PC, although I assumed it was mod-related. I was getting disconnected every time I attempted to claim a gift, except it worked fine on my secondary desktop which has no mods installed and I was able to claim a gift without issue.

I had actually figured that there was more bugginess with the mods and I'd get disconnected elsewhere in the client (e.g. like in the middle of a battle if I even got that far) so I didn't even bother trying to play tanks [without mods] that day.
