I wish they would change it to a TD, up its gun a bit, make something else worse, then we got a baby T30 T8 premium.

I could get the PZ IV Hydro or the PZ V/IV I guess, I could also get the Chrysler K but since US doesn't actually have a line of rear mounted tanks not that interested in it.

RE: T34B - Understood.

I'm a pretty aggressive heavy tank player and this might be a good trainer to not be a completely hung out to dry.

This thing really does look like the t30. I hope it's not a total wet fart but the DPM is real low.

5G gold and 3m credits later I got the Caern. I guess it's an ok deal. I see they are planning to liquidate all the extra BPs in the game for their next event. I wonder if they plan on any other changes to BPs after that and they just want everybody to burn their BPs before that, or if that's all they have planned.

I miss that tank when it was T9. It was a DPS monster IIRC, gun was fantastic.

Then they changed it into a premium and poo poo all over it. But yeah, changing it into a TD and just fixing the gun would make that thing so much better.

First iteration on test server it was practically the same, but by the time it reached live they nerfed the gun ridiculously hard.

You're correct in that assumption. I have mine setup as Rammer/Spall Liner/Reinforced Chassis. When you're a rammer, the extra track health and 8% hp can mean an extra shot or three at T5.

Kinda like the Awful Panther, you get bonus depression but only when broadsiding so the gun can hang out over the side of the tank.

Honestly, if they just reduced the HP and left the gun at the vanilla stats it would be perfectly balanced in today's meta lol.

Edit:

Holy poo poo I actually found a picture of the stats:



Double Edit: My poo poo math is rounding to be about 2600 DPM. Which in hindsight is kind of high for a T8 heavy but perfectly OK for a T8 TD.

My choices are:
Panzer V/IV
Lansen C
Alpine Tiger
Caern Action X
EBR 75

The V/IV is kinda temping for its rareness (although less so now I guess!), but I also like UK tanks so the Action X is also an option. Does anyone have thoughts on these? I have a ton of premiums so money-making isn't a big deal and I barely play WoT these days. I just want something that will briefly make me feel alive again.

I picked the best time to start grinding Czech mediums. Got up to Tier 3 in two games, then it's a sea of SU-76is, FCM 36s and other balans mediums as far as the eye can see.

At least I avoided the Pz V/IVs today. But probably not for long :sigh:

Pls send help, I think I might be enjoying the St. Emil a little too much?
Put a rotation device, optics and a turbo on and after unlocking all the modules, the 12.8 can do surprising things with 15° of gun depression when played actively.
Mostly going with the heavies, a lot of enemies seem to be slightly befuddled seeing it close to the frontlines before catching a 500 damage shell to the face. Ofc I die a lot, too.

progetto 54 quickly rose up to be my new favorite.
ebr105 is busted and good
vk100p is really good better than the premium version even.
lt432 is busted and can ram almost every light it encounters.
borsig slaps like no tomorrow with the 15cm gun. But requires turbo to be good.

vk7501k is also underestimated tank. The gunhandling is really nice on it. and alpha is great. Shame dpm is bit low

KD's Top five favorite tanks.

5: Primo Victoria



I really enjoy power metal and Sabaton is one of my favorite bands of all time. The crew voices and the tank itself taken itself from the music video named after the same name just screams good. However many people kinda find this tank to me very meh. I personally find the tank very fun to play and very simple for people getting into mediums. There are better medium tanks to be had but this one stands out to me as far as badassery goes.

Keep in mind this isn't a very good tank to own if you plan on going down Sweden lines. Its best to keep the crew where it belongs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVHyl0P_P-M

4: IS-3A



Do you enjoy playing the IS-3? The IS-3A is the same exact tank but way more broken. A reverse autoloader, 3 crew skill, and just as flexible and reliable as the same tank in it's tier? The IS-3A has almost no drawbacks when it comes to playing it. This tank begs you to save shots and blast them at the enemy; do not do this. If you have any able opportunity to hit anything you need to do so. And if you run out of shots you need to pretend you are playing in a regular IS-3.

It's very broken.

3: Obj 274a



Imagine Patton switched sides and made love to the IS-3. This is a real under rated gem among mediums. It plays a little bit like the LIS but it has a large amount of Russian energy and can really turn tides provided its in a good flank. What sets this apart from the other Russian mediums its its loving turret. It's got Patton's blessing and dares people to shoot at it. Only to block capitalists' rounds every which way and has the mobility to boot. This was going to be my number 2 spot as I love this tank. But you will see why I put this at 3.

2: ST-II



This is in my opinion one of the best heavies in the game. It's got two guns, and incredible frontal turret armor, and is capable of bitch slapping people back into the garage. DO NOT UNDERISTIMATE THE TURRET. The cupola might be an eyesore for some. But with -8 gun depression it can be fierce in a lot of locations for a heavy. And nobody likes seeing it because its hard to hit frontally. The Salvo is incredibly fun provided you use it property and its mobility is decent. I personally like to think of this tank as a Russian Progetto. Just witth way less ammo and a much harder face.

1: SU-130PM



This to me is the ultimate stealth warrior. Forget the E25 and other stealthy vehicles. The SU-130PM if played properly is just a monster and is a good defense provided your team mates do not poo poo the bed. The only thing that makes this tank rough to play is you need to have a very good crew to abuse and force this tank into its full potential. I personally have mastered this tank down to a science and am able to really be a burden on the enemy provided I play the map correctly. Mastered and marked.

It would be interesting to see if WG publishes data about how many Type 59G, Pz2J, and SU-76is got added to each server.

I'm contenting myself with the fact that I probably got my rarest offer straight away with the Deathstar. Most rolls seem to be two uncommons and three :nallears:, or if you're a whale, one uncommon, three :nallears:, and one :swoon: rare.

For those who got the 59G, always platoon in it, and stay with your platoon-mates, make yourself a "mini-boss" that haters have to grind through to get their kill.
