Okay, I have to ask, why is the Eagle 7 good? I have it, but it never really clicked. Might be the crew I put in it though. I liked the T20 better to be honest

Maybe they buffed it? It is a down-tiered Pershing but with a poo poo engine last I recalled. As far as T7 premiums go its probably one of the best, but also its T7, so who cares. If matching making was 0 or +- 1 I'd probably play a lot more T7 cause I do like a lot of T7, but gently caress fighting T9's at T7. Basically the same as if you were fighting T10s.

Wanted to get a win or two before work today, so I decided to play the TS-5. If you ever have a chance to get that tank, do it. It is such an amazingly fun tank to play. Also, the Churchill 3 has been my go-to mission completer. People for some reason don't expect that level of dakka dakka.

Got a survey popup ingame the other day where if memory serves there were actually two different questions regarding cross-tier matching, both of which I naturally answered with "+2 is poo poo, stop it". One can hope. They could even lower MM in general to +1-1 and just give "preferential matchmaking" vehicles a 0-1 spread instead, where they never see higher tiers at all.

There's so many Soviet premiums that some of them are bound to be amazing. I would immediately nominate: - Object 703vII (the original double barrel tank, miles better than the actual tech tree T8 and a very good tank) - SU-130PM (what if the Skorpion had good camo? Not really hindered much by the limited turret rotation) - KV-220-2 (broken) - T-34-85M (one of the best T6 mediums) - SU-122-44 (one of the best assault TDs) - IS-3A (solid T8 heavy with the reverse autoreloader gimmick) - Defender / Object 252U (not as broken as it was at release but still one of the worst T8 heavies to go against) - K-91-PT (one of my favourite T9 TDs) - Object 279e

As wild as this sounds, I kinda like the IS-2-II better than the 703. I enjoy more reliable guns despite the 703 kinda being straight up better.

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:Yeah... not going to disagree here. The 703-II is some great fun, but having what looks to be an easy double-shot miss/bounce because ~RNG~ can be game-endingly painful. But, hitting a double penetration with the 703 is  every time. IS-2-II can just do that more often, more constantly and usually hits for a little less damage.

Great camo, actual armor, extremely good HE, it's a banger of a light tank. Not as busted as the ELC Even 90 or the Ferrari, but still very good.

skaianDestiny posted:How do you use the French heavy autoloaders? Like French medium tanks. Chill out till you see someone over extending, then make them pay for their life choices. They have no armor to speak of, so you cannot be hyper aggressive in them (unless you A) Have the speed advantage to get to a good spot or B) You KNOW there is nothing that can kill you where you are going). Samua doing 1500 in like 9 seconds is kinda horrifying, which is why I love it so dearly.

Kunze Panzer is a pretty fun tank. Not as fun as the Char but it definitely works with my style. It's a good mix of maneuverability and gun handling, as long as I wasn't trying to snipe out of siege mode. However, I did find myself just driving around in siege mode more than once and not caring too much. Leaving siege mode for faster reload then going back in to shoot wasn't as big of a headache as I thought it would be.skaianDestiny posted:How do you use the French heavy autoloaders? I used it mostly as a way to yell at my computer screen as only 1 of my shells in a drum connected before I had to go on another 35 second reload.

WG's premium tank pricing model is bizarre. CS-52 LIS is 35$ but when the T-44-100 was available a couplefew weeks back, it was like 45$. The LIS is a better and more recent vehicle. Do they not update their pricing over time? And of course the neat 3d-style for it isn't available separately either. Thanks WG.

But if not, some tanks are just more desirable than others and WG prices accordingly. I also don't get why they don't sell 3D styles permanently, but I guess they feel people wouldn't pay 12 dollars for them if they weren't perceived as rare.

Along with the feeling my team got punished since it does take a heavy slot. Couple with its size being able to easily catch arty shells. And then the lack of armor allowing those easily caught arty shells be full pens. Gritted through the 50 100 to unlock the 50 120, then sold it and placed the crew in the somua sm. That line is full of rear end and needs a balance review. Also, this describes my experience of the lorraine 40t when it was in the medium tech tree line as well. That thing is too big for medium stuff. Especially for it's size. It is literally the same size as a 50 100 and equally equipped.

You aren't being greasy enough. You never want to be in a fair fight in a French autoloader. In the early game you do either of the following: 1. You CHAI snipe tanks from somewhere where you aren't going to be lit if you fire. 2. You follow around an armoured heavy, and whenever someone takes a shot at them, you pop out and shoot them twice while they're reloading. Your main goal is to survive until the battle is half over and then start trading your HP for clipping out enemy tanks. The only time you can even think about being aggressive in the early game is when you know with 100% certainty that an enemy is alone and is low enough on HP that you can clip them out even if you miss or bounce a shot.

The ISU-130 is a very good TD. Great damage, great accuracy, great DPM, and the mastery requirements are so low it practically prints Ace Tankers.

Isn't that the super rare one they basically sold once a billion years ago? Or do you mean the SU-130PM? If the latter, then 100% agreed. I prefer it to the Skorpion because it has actual camo. The limited turret rotation doesn't hurt it nearly as much as you'd think either.

So I had two really good games with two tanks I don't really play: Super Persh and T54 Mod 1. Putting turbo on both of these tanks helps TREMENDOUSLY with their sluggish handeling. The Mod 1 straight up just feels like the T44 but with more armor with the turbo on. Might need to play around with these more, they were actually quite enjoyable (much to my surprise).
