think about it, it trades the t20s excellent mobility for armor that's unreliable even against tier 6s, gun handling that's not appreciably better, 20mm more penetration that doesn't mean much even though the t20 can go through anything it sees with gold rounds, and the only quantifiably good improvement is the DPM which isn't that great compared to other tier 8 mediums.

the black prince is also just as bad as the churchill VII. it has a mediocre gun, the same top speed, armor that's still full of weakpoints, and all it gets is gun handling

the patton: less armor than the t-54 and e-50, less mobile than the former and much less accurate than both. its only benefit is gun handling. conclusion: it must be a bad tank, like the comet and pershing

the black prince has a hidden winrate bonus though


the patton loving owns, much unlike the comet

sorry, the comet, pershing, and patton are objectively terrible tanks whose tier for tier performance i haven't been able to match with any other tank except the e-75

I'm finally about to unlock that thing. Is it average overall or does it have some particularly good thing that it's good at?

it might be better now that guns overall got less accurate so other guns don't have the same pinpoint accuracy that the panther does, but all the good sniper spots are wide open to artillery these days and the panther does not deal with artillery well

the panther is real good at tracking things though, if you can see a track you can permatrack them if they dont have a repair kit

the only reason the churchill i isn't the most overpowered tank at tier 5 is because the churchill iii gets pref matchmaking

i dont spend gold on retraining skills either, but i still have sixth sense on all the tanks that have a 100% second skill. it doesn't become extremely necessary until tier 8 anyways (though its real nice to have tier 7 and below) and by that point sixth sense is trained up, even with silver retraining

Jesus loving christ every single game is a grindy piece of poo poo affair but maybe that's because I'm getting Erlenberg, Swamp, Erlenberg, Hidden Village, Swamp, Prohorovka, El Halluf, El Halluf, Sand River


Why are there so many lovely, slow maps in this game and why do I keep getting them? Why is tier 8 hosed so hard by tier 10? Why does even a single artillery piece completely gently caress over the natural ebb and flow of a battle? When did this game become so god drat static?

One good thing about playing the Indien Panzer pretty heavily is that it's teaching me to be patient as hell because trying to take a forward position with that tank is suicide and when I don't take a forward position I can actually do damage!!

Artillery solution: remove everything but french artillery from the game, give the french artillery a shitload of hitpoints and armor but the same mobility, take away satellite view

northwest would be an extremely fun map if they replaced the stupid southern area with something else that wasn't just a lane with no cover

also they should have made sacred valley a low tier tank map too, it's actually fun when everyone's tier 6 or below

Domination is also incredibly easy to win, just use the T57 or Leopard for the loving insane DPM and then when you die pull out a batchat, dump your mag into someone's rear end, go to a repair zone for a free refill, then dump that mag into someone else, get killed as quickly as possible, then load the T57 or Leo again. This gets you fuckall for credits, fuckall for free exp, and a cool badge that essentially says "yeah I logged in and have half a brain"

Don't sell the E-50, why would you do that?

Also I used to say the 50 was better, tier for tier, than the 50M but now that I look the 50M is my highest damage t10 medium except the Batchat. So :shrug:.

look man i gotta get the credits for the 50m somehow and ill be hosed if im putting fresh crew in it

I'd feel worse about selling the E-50 but the E-50M is just more of the same and I'm planning on picking up an AMX 30 for all my tier 9 medium needs. You have no power over me. :colbert:

Thanks for that wonderful accuracy nerf Wargaming, I sure didn't enjoy having an advantage over most of the glue eating morons that make up the playerbase because I actually bothered to shoot tanks in their weakspots from an advantageous position, making every loving shot a goddamn dice roll is a wonderful idea for balance.
