Reports from the Supertest say the IS-5 is busted good now and the 121B is one of the best T10 mediums after the buffs. Of course because the 121B is a reward vehicle you can't take it into ranked but maybe that's a bonus?

Would be a very WG move to buff bond tanks right before refreshing the bond store.

Now that I have the top gun in the Standard B it owns.



E: this thing is hilarious, all the upgraded components weigh the same or less than the stock components, so you don't actually NEED the tracks at all.

E2: I think the Standard B might be my favourite T9 medium. It just fits my playstyle, I guess!

I'm kinda glad I didn't see that. I don't think the Standard B is insanely powerful or anything, it's just very flexible and fun to play. It's a close fight between this and the Skoda T50, but miles better than the Bat-Chat for instance.

The T9 Batchat is not great. I still have a place in my heart for the T10 though. Love that thing...

Now that I think about it, I do kinda have an addiction to auto loaders.

Same, buddy. I love autoloaders and auto-reloaders. I'm definitely going to push through the Bat-Chat 25AP to the T10 because people tell me it's better in every way, and the T9 BC is so close to being good but needs buffs in pretty much every area.

People seem to forget that the Jagtiger has the 3rd best DPM for all of the T9's (and 14th among the T10's). That thing is scary when it is doing its thing.

I cant make up my mind on what tank to get next. So a D20 helped me decided to revisit the Strv tank destroyer line and I am about 30k XP away from getting the 103-0. I almost forgot how dangerously sneaky those tanks are with my camp bush playstyle. So I have decided thats gonna be my next Tier X line to go down on for the next couple days.

Also apparently I put a discount for credits on the line so yeah it might be a good choice.

What is its thing? When I had mine, I tried to play it as a traditional bush wanker, but that didn't work amazingly well. It feels like being a more of an assault gun would be better, but does it have the armour for that?

The Jagdtiger doesn't have enough armour to stop high tier gold shells through the front even if you hide the lower plate. It works best as a sniper TD from outside of view range until the enemy team has been softened up a bit and it can use its DPM to kill the enemies before it takes too many hits.

It has the accuracy and DPM to make enemies regret showing their faces, enough "armor" to bounce a shot or two when it comes to cleaning up.

It's fun trying to play tech tree tanks against balans premiums. Me in my Emil against a Concept 1B. The Emil is supposed to be one of the best hull down ridgeline tanks in the game, but it gets absolutely _clowned on_ by the Concept. I can't pen it except through the cupolas which of course he doesn't have to show, and of course through the bottom, which he isn't going to show unless he's a complete muppet.

Meanwhile his HEAT just goes through my turret like a hot knife through butter.

That'll show me for trying to play tech tree tanks, I guess.

Does the Charioteer get better once you unlock the better guns? Because jesus loving christ this default gun is awful. And the first upgrade has the same pitiful at T8 damage and pen, and just a slightly better reload time.

I think it's safe to say the Standard B's demise was greatly exaggerated. Took me a while to get to grips with it, but it's an insanely fun T9 medium.

I don't remember the stock gun, but I remember REALLY hating the tank stock and loving it after getting it fully upgraded. It is one of those tanks that I would convert to premium if we could. I drove it like a medium tank without armor so I was constantly moving around looking for shots, and I remember liking the top gun and thought it worked really well despite the odd miss or two. One reason I wanted the GSOR 1008 was because I was hoping it was going to be an autoloading premium charioteer... but it is not.

Now I have to decide if I want to keep the Standard B or not (probably do, it owns) and if I want to keep my experienced Buffon crew in the Standard, or put them in the Progetto and train a new Standard B crew.

Yeah I probably will, unless they split the queues (lol) in which case it'll just be 24/7 T8 premiums (ie. the T8 Progetto) to farm credits.

The good news is that I have enough unrecruited female and battle pass crew members to give me a 2/3 skill crew on the Progetto as well.

E: Today's highlight was still a Char Futur 4 getting through our lines and trying to come and get my M53/55. He came in hard and fast, jumping off a ridge ahead of me. I managed to put a 1100 damage shell in through his bottom, and then I think he crashed on landing, or one of my teammates shot him.

It would have been perfect if I'd one-shot him in the air but we can't have nice things.
