Blindshot on that Type 62 was just barely a sliver of his cupola while they hid behind a rock in the mid after going back into concealment.

I actually had a really great morning in tanks. The TL-1 continues to impress me and I somehow always manage to do well in the KV-3. The UDES td really needs to get the same mechanics as the medium tanks. It feels so clunky comparatively.

I'm up to the tier 8 Swedish TD. Not a huge fan, but it's not bad. On the other hand, I used the tank exchange to trade my old ( free ) T34 for the Swedish cheese wedge premium TD and that thing is hilariously stupid and I love it.

It's no 183 tho, which is the best TD that ever was and ever will be.

It's an ongoing battle with me about being too froggy in certain situations. But here lately I have been playing the map game and being a bit patient to plan my further actions. Today I played the map game and while my piloting in the IS-7 isnt my most crowning achievement; I do feel I played this tank right to tip the scales in my team's favor.



Early game all of our heavies, SPGs, Mediums, and LTs all went south and mid when I thought to myself if I go east maybe I could at least see what pushed on this side. Because trailing behind me was a Grille 15 and a Foch 155.. Spotted a very unlucky afk T110E5 and immedietly after he was nuked by arty on my team we suddendly had view of the STB-1, another enemy T110E3, and I forget the last one. The moment we spotted them take a look at the score and you can see our team immediately flanked and pushed hard.

If I had not have pushed there early game the Grille 15 and Foch would have been stuck at B6 bluffing themselves thinking there were enemy tanks looking at D7 and beyond.

Let me know if someone wants the replay

I had to look this up. This is a premium on the console version of the game. There are many tanks they have that either has never (and will never) be added to the pc version. Or have been removed because of how straight up broken they are.

Examples: https://console.worldoftanks.com/en/encyclopedia/vehicles/germany/G98_Waffentrager_E100/
That tank was straight removed for the grille 15. And will never come back. I'm sure someone here will gladly show off the gif of one killing a full health maus with one clip. This was in the days when armor still had some value and maus had the highest hp in the game.

https://console.worldoftanks.com/en/encyclopedia/vehicles/usa/A801_PzVIB_Tiger_II/
This is a tier 7 on pc.

https://console.worldoftanks.com/en/encyclopedia/vehicles/usa/A12_T32/
If upgraded to the t32e2, the 105mm gun has a pen of 218mm. Every pc player will tell you that is exactly what that gun needs for the t32. Because it currently still has 198mm pen just like the t29. Which is not fun for a tank that regularly sees t10s.

https://console.worldoftanks.com/en/encyclopedia/vehicles/merc/
And then there is this mess. Like, https://console.worldoftanks.com/en/encyclopedia/vehicles/merc/MRC53_Trinity_MKII/
wtf (it is a t-44-100 with the t26e4 turret installed)

Edit: Just to clear up here, I WANT a t8 premium arty for frontlines. That is why I looked it up as this was the first mention I'd seen of such a thing.

This is still my personal favorite

OK I know this is not 100% a WoT related thing but it involves tanks so I'm asking here. So anyway a while back I saw a trailer video for a movie released recently (where recent = within last 2 years) that was about a heroic T-34 tank crew fights Germans yadda yadda and the thing that sticks in my mind is that it had bullet time sequences in it. I specifically remember one scene the T-34 fires its gun at a building full of Germans and you got a fly through of the building and the shell whizzing past a couple by like inches and the camera tracks outside and the building blows up at that point. I'm not 100% sure this was RU language with subs or EN dub or what. If any of you know what this movie might be TYVM for informing me.

Just for giggles I logged into WoT just now and I'm still in STUG :v:, highest vehicle I have is a fully upgraded US T32 and I'm about 67k of the way to the M103 . Also got a bunch of free poo poo (Including a Super Hellcat??) for having an 8 year old acct.

Instead of the event in NA; EU players are going to have a hell of a harder time with this event. But on the plus side you have an opportunity to get content creators as commanders. While us in the NA have additional missions to help alleviate the difficulty of earning either a Dragon or Tiger commander.

How are you playing it?

Im looking at the numbers and its armor is really paper thin and even 120mm in the front of the turret its just lmao. -8 degress of gun depression is kinda neat for this tank but if I was in your shoes I would take those two stats alone into consideration. This to me is a 2nd to 3rd firing line tank peeking over hills and unloading shells into flanks. Cities are not your friend.

Also according to Tanks.gg the tank has incredibly good shell velocity but the shells have somewhat poor penetration.

Same as all autoloaders. Play smart. Don't lead a push and don't trade. Wait until an enemy shoots or is distracted before dumping your clip. Wait until a solo enemy has under 900 hp before pushing him.

With the Czech mediums, the intra-clip reload is very short so you can usually get your entire clip off when you decide to fire.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

Jeeesus, the top gun on the tier 9 swedish medium is just complete rear end and frustrating as hell when you're coming from the 14 Alt 5.

You had a laser-scalpel with STUPID shell velocity (on BOTH shells), and incredible accuracy at tier 8.

At tier 9, you get a little more base and gold pen, 30 extra damage, and even though your dispersion is 0.1 better, YOUR SHOTS GO EVERYWHERE BUT WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO.

It just feels like a comical joke.

Still having a blast on my Lynx 6x6 even if all I am doing is trying to make sick jumps killing people in mid air. I have pulled it off at least once with goons on discord.

But with these tanks I am really enjoying the wheeled scout playstyle. It makes me use visual memory to look ahead and behind quickly which passes onto having great map awareness. Circon answered one of my questions mid stream and told me to try not to push past the "Middle" line where everyone is even provided a good example as he was playing.

So if goons are wondering why my map is so loving big in game is because I am also playing the map game more often than I am looking what is in front of me unless I am in actual combat. (Plus I wear glasses and my eyesight isnt that great). So far with trickling knowledge its been working out very good in my favor. Just dont mind if you platoon with me if I have a little fun. :)

Also its been amazing good fun playing with you goons. When we focus and get real we have pulled off some serious poo poo. Ima need to poke my brother to have him post that bad rear end 7k spotting dmg game he did on his EBR. That was talent.

E- I got his insane EBR game recorded for goons to witness him.
