So I finally have enough bonds for an EPIC purple equipment piece. Would the improved rammer for my JgPz E 100 be a good use of it? Seems like the long reload time would take better advantage of the % decrease in loading time.

I personally start with purple vents with any tank, the all round boost from vents is too valuable not to.

Meh, it is not as good as it used to be.

Gun sucks, it's slow as gently caress and gold can penetrate it pretty easily (especially in the area beneath the turret).

It just inverts the normal "see big tank, shoot lower plate" mentality. You can pen the turret in a bunch of places very easily.

They buffed it a lot so that it's a bully if you're in a 6-8 battle, but there are so many OP premium tier 8 tanks now that I can't recommend it.

I don't think I intentionally suicided in my last two battles, but one had a Tiger pushing me out in front of a heavy because I advocated kicking Hitler in the ball [singular]. And I couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the map in the other.

Thanks. Yeah, the building exploded and I was like "oh poo poo, I'm still alive!" Thankfully I was dicking around in chat when the Skorpion appeared and by the time I finished typing my witty commentary the IKV appeared. If I had gone after the Skorp first I think I would have died based on the terrain and distances to the two.

Last night, I managed to complete my first Mercenary contract, and got the T4 Needle. I played a few rounds and it's a pretty fun tank! It feels like it has pretty reasonable speed for a Heavy, and the frontal armour was bouncing shots left and right.

The crew came with the Deadeye skill already, and another one ready to learn. Any suggestions on skills? Equipment-wise, I know Vents tend to be a good investment.

Sixth Sense + Brothers in Arms is the standard way to start any crew on console, and for good reason, so go with that. Deadeye is a really bad skill to train early as it's utility on its own is pretty low (in a very basic way it works out at roughly as you'll damage a module an extra time every 1 in 33 shots).

All the Merc tanks tend to be bouncier than you'd expect as invariably they have some kind of spaced armour.

You need to have BIA on all of the crew members for it to work, so it's better to do 6th Sense and repair or 6th and camo for light tanks as a first skill. I'd only pick BIA first on arty.

The Cruiser II - IV were for (more skillful) clubbing, I'll concede that much.

Cruiser II has lost its gimmick so into the trash it goes. Cruiser III and Cruiser IV were absolute bastards if you got the jump on someone but still took some awareness to not end up back in the garage, and while now the Cruiser III has just been uptiered and still relatively capable at slapping pubbies to destruction (so it's not too big a deal to work around), the IV is now the Covenanter stand-in, which spells doom for the Covenanter since it's got nothing to compensate for the uptier change. I genuinely enjoyed the Covenanter and Crusader (although in the latter's case not so much when they loving changed it to a Medium for no god drat reason) precisely because they weren't Babby's Choice Club-O-Matic vehicles, but this update has hosed those two most out of the lot of them!
