And for gameplay context, the Warcrime is as mobile as the Panther, but only has the 7.5cm L/70 gun rather than the 100, however gets tier 7 pref matchmaking to make up for it

I don't know what's worse, the top tier IS-6 who sat in the back corner doing loving nothing and then messaged me to say 'look at the stats kid I did more than you  ' after he got a grand total of 750 damage in it, or the theoretically green E-100 base camp sniping malinovka and telling people they were idiots for going hill and that he was going to have to carry us, when the tanks that went hill did about 75% of the total damage between them trying to deal with basically the entire team hiding in the forest.I know what's worse, both times I was in my stock STA-1 and had my only tier 8 game in 5 attempts ruined by one, and got a lovely daily in one of the 4 tier 10 battles I got in the other.

That said prelim stats, giving it the 20pdr B along with its historical armour and the nerfed mobility would pretty much make it indistinguishable from the Caernarvon. See this is the point where they need the 32pdr to not only have some aspect to it to make it a viable alternative to the 20pdr, but also be available to use on more than just the CGC, AT-15 and Tortoise.

Paging Rossmum to the thread, there's a  new T-54 coming to tanks T-54 model 1945 tier 8 premium that supertesters got today, and has already leaked, almost certain it'll have pref mm quote:Developed in 1944 by Plant No.183. During its developments, many mechanisms and components of the T-44 tank were used. They were modified and fixed in order for the new vehicle to carry more armor and a better gun. According to one of the sources, first prototype was ready by the end of 1944, other sources however state another date – January 1945. The vehicle was trialed in March-April 1945. It was not mass produced.

I liked the M3 Lee when I drove it many years ago. I drove the Grant in 4 battles before regretting starting at 4, selling it, free xping the Sherman III and just skipping any attempt at the Valentine to go for the Archer. The Sherman III is just, you know, a Sherman. You get a couple 6pdr options on top of the Lee gun and the 76mm, but none of them are really worth it. The Archer is just weird, has a nice gun with good dpm and apparently good camo, but it's got no armour or hp and requires you to drive backwards to get anywhere and then turn around once you do to shoot, it's very awkward. So far the only map I've gotten in it that's worth playing rather than drowning yourself is Sand River. You basically have to play it exactly the same as the Toaster, pure max range max camo ambush/sniper support, because it's less than worthless once spotted, except the Toaster has an extra 30km/h and faces the right way. Not reached the Firefly and Achilles yet.

rossmum posted:Jesus, the expected damage for the E 100 is only 1,959? They shoot mostly AP or HE, because shooting HEAT is unaffordable without running one of the high credit generating premiums (T34/Lowe/122-44) on a 1 for 1 basis, probably 3 for 1 given how bad most people are at everything. I lose about 40-60k credits every E-100 win, which is why I never drive it anymore.

I forgot to screenshot it, but first game in my Bulldog which only had the engine and radio upgrades ended up with 2k damage and 1377 base xp. That damage was boosted slightly because first action of the battle was my solo Bulldog running into the solo enemy Bulldog on top of the north hill (Fjords) where with just two shots I catastrophically ammo racked him so hard the turret flew over my hull and landed on the other side, and later on I set on fire a Black Prince who didn't have an extinguisher. Pretty fast thing though. Not looking forward to that fragile ammo rack but.

8 heavies travelling east run into 5 heavies travelling west on the Arctic Region south road. At the end of the exchange 0 heavies are travelling east, and 4 are travelling west. [edit] Followed by a tier 10 game on fjords where my 50 100 was the only tank true north, and the only tank between them and our artillery, them being the 121, 121, Obj. 140, IS-7, T-54, T69 and LTTB that all blind ran into me in one coordinated blob. Our D25t armed WZ-111 1-4 and afk E3 were unable to stem the flow., the middle tanks far too involved in gangpiling a Lowe to take any shots at their sides on the way through.

Atomizer posted:How is the GWP nowadays? I unlocked it before the nerf and never played it; is it worth re-buying? Also, what about the tiers 8 & 9; anything to note? It was horrific post nerf, the aiming reticle at max aim was still 3x the size of a Maus due to the really low firing arc that also made it useless on maps with obstacles, hated playing it. The new arty sight mod has turned it all around though, it's gone from totally unplayable to pretty useful.

Just had a team on South Coast let an STB-1 drive straight south through the village on South Coast and up into our spawn unopposed, from where he was able to snipe my 416 in the middle rush spot, and then go on to decimate our team as we lost like 15-3. Had the same guy on my team the very next battle same tanks, he asked me if I was surprised because he seemed to be surprised he got there. He then went on to carry our team to a top gun, the last 3 kills coming with only 250hp left as the rest of us tried very hard to coach the remaining T95 into doing the right things to let the STB-1 carry.

In my tier 9 IS-4, which you all remember was crazy, I ground it up using the BL-9 and the really soft stock turret and had a 60% win rate. After I unlocked the super turret and S-30, I lost 18 battles in a row, and roughly 22 from 25, at the end of the run I had a win rate of about 32% before I put the tank away for a couple months. Between it and the eventual IS-8 I managed to get the win rate back up to 50%. My STA-1 with a newly fitted top turret and second gun is suffering from this problem, was 60%, currently 41%

Didn't matter how well or not I played, it just refused to win for 18 battles in a row. I dimly recall one battle where we were up 7 or 8 to 4 or 5, then I got one shotted by an S-51 as I was about to kill either a T30 or T34, and the entire team fell apart without killing another thing.

Baron Porkface posted:What does it mean for a tech tree to be forgiving, unforgiving, or "hardest"? Forgiving tanks are ones that let you live to fight on if you make a mistake - they'll have some or all of 1)Good mobility 2)Strong hull armour 3)Guns with middle to high pen and high damage (high alpha guns terrify people into not charging you while you're reloading in a way that pea shooters never will) 4)Good gun depression 5) Strong turret armour and 6) high hp for tier. Combinations of these things mean that if you accidentally over extend, drive too far around a corner, hit a bump in the road or get into hills, or run into a higher tier opponent, you can survive long enough to realise your mistake and get back into cover, get a few damage causing shots off on the way. Unforgiving will have some or none of these, and your typical response to making a mistake like for the above tanks will be to explode so rapidly you can't respond, as in unarmoured Japanese tanks, or get caught with your gun pointing uselessly into the sky because you have so little gun depression you can't point down at what is shooting you, as in Chinese tanks and the Soviet A-44/416/430II and 100M1/101/122-54 lines Hardest is French tanks because they have enough speed to encourage, nay demand that you get anywhere you want to go before most other tanks, no armour to survive when you get there, and autoloading guns that make you lord of destruction for about 15 seconds, after which you are completely helpless for 45 seconds while it reloads. If you make any kind of mistake you get to ponder over it in spectator mode. NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Jan 13, 2015 |
