Good game. I went up the turreted branch of that line so didn't play the T25AT but always wonder if it's any good.

Something about the Black Prince works better than the Churchill 7 does. Don't ask me to explain WHAT, the armor is the same thickness on the hull and it's still glacially slow. It does get a much better turret and the excellent 17 pounder gun, so that might be it.

I liked the Black Prince back when I played it, everyone said it was poo poo, but something just clicked. It was the same with the Tiger(P), but then again, those 2 were among my first tier 7 tanks, so being slow yet bouncy, with an accurate machine gun that made everyone into swiss cheese while moving, was enough to be fun.

Cant imagine the power creep been kind to it though.

Also, 6500 gold for a battle pass with mediocre rewards, gtfo.

It's a solid platform. I think it has like 10 degrees of gun depression. It's pretty comfy for a non-turreted TD.

If anyone is considering doing the Battle Pass poo poo, tier 6 tanks are the going to be the best points earners because you only need to reach 100 points on them to get the bonus points. However, you'll need to have 20 tier 6 tanks in your garage to get the max reward if you plan on only playing tier 6 tanks.

Anyone have feedback on the T69? I stopped playing a while back and now that I'm back I feel like I never see the thing in matches. Is it out of meta? Did powercreep kill it? Or is it just old news and everyone is on to the new italian autoloader?

Quickybaby is furious about the premium rammer from the pro battlepass, Circon doesn't really give a gently caress since it's only a 2.5% upgrade.

I kinda get how it's another step into the pay to win direction, but I honestly don't care too much about the dumb bounty rammer (I'd probably stick it on my Progetto), the cool thing about the battle pass is kinda the shitton of extra boosters, and the cool 277 skin, I guess?

I like the battlepass system as well as adding the paid second line however that paid line should be a bonus to be a subscriber already but whatever. Getting a bond rammer for money is stupid WGing bullshit but also the bond equipment doesn't really affect things that much.

I also have surprisingly fond memories of the BP and Tiger (P) grinds. Wouldn't want to be starting from square one with either of them now though.

The very nice thing about the Black Prince is that the grind is practically non-existent if you're playing other British tanks. You can get the 17 pounder from the Firefly and the Meteor from the Cromwell, and I think both can be put on the stock suspension.

the BP was ok especially when top tier but I had too many battles with 3 arty per side on wide open maps and lol. But anyway it won a lot even when it did nothing maybe cause I'd give no fucks about arty and they'd shoot me over and over which meant they weren't shooting my team so I Did My Part. All tanks after are a lot better.

I liked it apart from having poo poo pen and having to load gold which was like 125k a game and it's HEAT not APCR so not being real accurate half the shots will hit tracks, also it leads to the T57 which isn't good no more

I almost never got shot by arty in the BP even at the height of xvm usage. My secret technique was never getting to the fights in time. Still had a great win rate

So I've played 2 games in the BP now: First game I got like 2.5k damage and soloed a Tier VII jap heavy, pretty good game. Second game was Cliff on encounter and I died to arty before I could get arty safe then I logged out for the night. A land of contrasts.

BP makes me squirm a bit in my computer chair enough to somewhat give a crap about him being on the field. BP has his moments for sure but I always catch them off guard a lot when I do spot one.

I haven't played it since the Italian reloaders came out. Looking at the stats its totally irrelevant now. https://tanks.gg/compare/p44-pantera?t=t69

I'm pretty sure it's because your client stops recording to the replay file once you've left the battle. Notice, in your replay folder that there's a "temp" file that gets edited during each battle, but then when the battle is over (or you exit it) it copies the contents of that file to the "official" "permanent" replay file.

My thoughts are that it does indeed suck any time any dev adds any P2W element to a game, but in this case a single +2.5% difference is irrelevant. The huge credit cost for the improvement isn't even worth it, and any account can only get one of these things for one tank anyway. People really overestimate the effect of certain equipment (and crew skills for that matter.)

I wish there was an option to block out one tank from your random battles, just like how you can block maps. I never want to see a EBR 70 FL 10 again. The tech tree EBRs are annoying for sure, but I kind of just want to drive into a lake if I see a FL10 anywhere around me.

I'm at 14, should finish today so woop but yesterday was weird where I got 2 straight matches on the snow map defending and the other team couldn't take the 1st 3 (A , B and C) never saw that before yet alone back to back games, makes it hard to get past Lt. I got a rental T27 and etc from twitch /prime it's a noice tank that complements my Progetto and 40T so log in or whatever.

I like the money, not a fan of the matches in FL. I just get tired of it. I'm not super familiar with the maps, and get really tired of getting hit by unlit Progetos. And the arty strikes, the bombing runs, blah blah blah.
