Is the IRL Russian 76mm just as terrible as all the in-game Russian 76mms?

It's worse on the Matilda since it had -2 degrees of gun depression instead of -14 it has in the game.

Solely because Americans have more expendable income than Russians and suffer greatly from Dunning-Kruger Syndrome because we live in the greatest country on earth, and never *ever* want to see evidence to the contrary because that's the truth and always will be. :patriot:

Now that I've played Blitz about, like, ten hours or so, I gotta say I'm just... not feeling it. Like, don't get me wrong. The MM bands are better, no arty is great, I like some of the revised tank lines. But for some reason it just feels worse to play. Maybe it's how the game controls.

Yeah, it doesn't "feel" the same, and that's probably because it's WoT built on a different engine. It's as close as it can be to WoT while running on different platforms (iOS and Android, and mainly ARM architecture), and it just happens that they've now released it on Windows x86(-64) to boost the playerbase I guess. It looks primitive compared to, well, any native PC game.

The controls are definitely worse, although that's largely because they're touch controls adapted for mouse + keyboard, and in that respect it's remarkable how well they've adapted it. The main sticking points I found are the zoom, and remember when WoT needed a mod to allow you to hold LMB and fire the next shot when it was loaded? :rolleyes: Also, not being able to use mods in Blitz is a step back.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

Now that I have the top gun and the top tracks on the Type 4, allowing me to drop the torsion bars for a vert stab, the gun makes for a much more enjoyable experience, since you can run all premium rounds and break even on credits, even when your tank is destroyed. The sweet spot is somewhere around 2.5k damage dealt or something. So the ability to just roll with 282 pen rounds all match gives you some options in tier 10 matches.

But those loving sides, though, holy poo poo. They're literally broken. As in, game-mechanically broken.

Just turn your tank 90 degrees and broadside, if your opponents are anything like me they'll somehow fail to pen a straight on shot into your hull repeatedly.

This is also known as the T-54 Light effect.

Tired World of Tanks Blitz when I saw it on steam, was like "Hey, this is kinda fun. I should reinstall WoT where all my tanks are".

Like three games in I realized why I stopped playing previously. Regular WoT is full of Arty platoons that make the game a completely unenjoyable roulette wheel of a slog. At least I was able to get called a jew-loving friend of the family in that short time. WoT. WoT never changes.

i have had this experience too minus the part of steam and blitz, 99% of the time im playing uh i mean grinding up lines i dont want to the other 1% is playing something like a big arty or grille 15 where i cant effortlessly own some noobs..er.. unsuspecting players and feel a bit better about grinding terrible tanks

edit: and not having any other game to play thats as/more sadisticly addicting than this one

I got the T-62a. It's good, but I wish I got the 140.

But tier X sucks so probably just save your credits for equipment and stuff. The thread told me that, but I didn't believe it. I have 5 total games in the most recent tier X I bought around 4 months ago.

All the Russian meds have some extremely minor advantage that doesn't matter, but the Obj 430's minor DPM advantage is far outweighed by the worse accuracy decreasing it's applicable DPM. I like the Obj 140 for the extra degree of gun depression, but the 62a and 907 are both fine. If gun depression doesn't matter I guess I'd rather have the 907 for the slightly faster top speed over the 62a.
