Just in case any of you is wondering what shitlords in E75s are doing in base on Redshire, while your T7 platoon including arty is busy carrying their retarded asses, here's their thought process:

cutie posted:I haven't been playing Tanks very much since around patch 8.6 or whenever the Japanese line came out. I really liked playing light tanks but back then there was a patch that made guns more accurate and then literally every good map had the old spotting areas nerfed and anything that didn't have thick sloped armour was difficult to play in the new map designs. I read somewhere that guns are less accurate now, TD's have less view range and maybe some other things I've missed. Are light tanks in a good condition right now? The new American lights (and LTTB) are pretty drat good. However you can only scout properly on 5 maps or so (with Fiery Salient being an almost carbon copy of Prokhorovka, except on fire), since the rest of them are made for tanks shooting at each other's turrets at 100 meters range, forever.

Rothmog posted:The RU251 is amazing and I don't care what people say the Awful Panther is good too! There isn't one stinker in the whole line of Luchs--->RU251. I forgot about the RU. Also I have no idea how T54 light behaves after the last patch. Awful Panther is awful, it's even in the name.  The rest of the line is cool.

Uranium 235 posted:Right now I'm really hating the heavy mission where you have to block 2x your hitpoints in damage and deal 1500 damage (for T28 concept). I can't get pubbies to shoot at me enough when they're bouncing off me, which seems odd. Do tracking shots count toward the damage blocked? It doesn't say that it does, but knowing wargaming, it probably does count. I don't think it does. As for the tank pick a VK 4502B and drive straight at pubbies, angle in an alley, get 8k bounced damage easily.

enkalen posted:T29 Question: What is the best order to upgrade? I am thinking Tracks, then the 105 gun. Turret and engine would be last. I am planning on keeping the tank, so I was thinking of putting on a rammer, vstab, and coated optics. Is there better equipment to add? I'd go with gun/turret, turret/gun, engine, tracks. The turret gives you more dpm and view range, so it's a pretty good upgrade. Slap on suspension in the meantime if it actually can't mount everything before getting tracks. Equipment is good.

Steelion posted:HE is poo poo. At least he didn't spend 3 reload cycles to kill a half health Obj 268. Also the RU-251's HE is quite good actually. The pen is pretty good, especially in combination with the reload time, which makes it very useful when shooting pubbies in the butt.

DonkeyHotay posted:The challenger is a super-e25 without pref mm. Meaning that at least 2/3 of your matches you are op as poo poo. It's got less stationary camo than the E25 has on the move (and its on the move camo is still worse than E-25 camo when firing). It can have some good games when ignored, since pubbies are bad at getting shot at, but it's still an enormously frustrating tank to play.

At higher tiers playing arty is much more enjoyable, since if you miss your fully aimed shot you get almost a full minute of stream-watching/Youtube without any interruption.

Hellsau posted:Does it get really good gun depression? If it got like 20 degrees of gun depression it might justify the horrifically ugly turret. It's pretty good, sitting at 10 degrees. I'd suggest either free xp, or shoot nothing but gold since it's at least somewhat usable then. Edit: it's basically a stock Chi-ri with better gold ammo and a broken turret. mmkay fucked around with this message at 06:37 on Apr 1, 2015 |

On Fiery Salient/Prokhorovka either active scout in the middle if there are arties, or go passive scout in the west. On Malinovka, either try spotting from the bushes in roughly the middle of the map (when starting north), or go near the swamp area. If the enemy team is dumb, you can try spotting from the central rock around 7 line on Steppes (preferably if starting south, though north sometimes works as well). On Redshire if you start in the north you can go hide in the bushes near a building in the center. On Lakeville you can try spotting from the middle if you're lucky and if you're extremely lucky, there's a rock on the eastern shore near the middle of the map, from which you can spot a lot of tanks. On any other map, you're pretty much hosed.

Blindeye posted:Soviet Heavies it is! It takes roughly 1k battles (with premium, so around 1500 without) to research a tier 10 tank. Exact values depend on the line and how good you are - you can lose games all the time, gaining almost nothing, but you'll still get that tier 10 eventually. This is something pubbies will try to prove to you continuously Calculating credit amount is a bit harder. Note that playing other tiers is usually more fun since there isn't such a large concentration of shitlords driving in their latest T10 failing to actually click at red pixels. I'd suggest downloading a mod pack as well. If you want to improve, watch how better players play to learn (use xvm to identify them, it's usually pretty accurate). Also note that it might take 1000+ games until you start to get it - map positioning takes time to learn.

Blindeye posted:Any fun recommendations for a light tank line to dick around in? I wouldn't mind switching back and forth if I get knocked out of battles on my russian heavy line. Note that starting at tier 4 most lights will see 1 tier higher than usual. If you're new I'd hold off with light tanks since going that way usually leads to getting blown up way too quickly. Having said that I'd also suggest the Pz IC and maybe the Luchs. Be wary - the former is almost useless against a lot of T5 tanks and the latter sees tier 7 tanks.

Is there any comparsion how the T-34-85/IS-2/Cromwell B fare against their regular versions? Especially with stuff like terrain resistance or bloom. I certainly wouldn't mind having a Cromwell that prints even more credits than usual.

Uranium 235 posted:Speaking of British heavies... Churchill 7 is one of the few tanks that has a weak spot in the frontal drive wheel, so it can be penned and tracked from the front at the same time. The Black Prince has a pretty beefy engine so it accelerates and then stays at the top speed constantly. The T8 has some amazing bloom values going for it and a decent turret.

Shoot the lower plate/shoot the turret with HEAT If they're staring right at you. Don't shoot the spaced side armor of the E100, especially with HEAT.

Sometimes a there's a T4 tank in a T8 game driven by a player with less than 500 games played. Then you find out he still outdamaged half of his team.

Because you'll be using a SU-14-1 without the top gun then? And you use that gun on the next two tiers anyway, where it'll be harder to gring?
