Thanks for the AMX 13 90 replays, it seems my problem is a mix of horrible teams and me forgetting how to properly light tank (I ended my T71 with 67% win rate, god damnit). I literally lost my first 10 games with completely horrible teams. That teaches me for playing during Christmas break. Also, Magres, nice replay but you also got pretty lucky with dodging bullets there. On the other hand, most Ace tankers are the result of a lot of luck mixed with some skills so.

Magres posted:Anyone know of any good, really in depth guides for turretless TDs? None of this "just find people to shoot" bullshit, I'm talking like specific, detailed strats on a per map basis, because I am incapable of getting good firing lanes. Since you can divide turretless TDs into at least 5 different categories one guide is not enough. You have mobile assault guns like SU-122-44, mobile snipers without depression like SU-101, hell cannons like the ISU-152 and low damage DPM machines like the AT-15. Neither of these should be played in the same way.

subhelios posted:On the other hand, is the T69 as good as the test server makes it seem to be? My first game in it was 5-kill, 4000 damage Not really. It is decent while going all gold, but otherwise it was somewhat of a disappointment. Low pen, low alpha, bad accuracy and only 1k burst damage means you can't ammodump in the same way as in a 50 100. T54E1 is however great since it is a tier9 tank with the ammo dump capacity of a T57 Heavy which gets to see tier7 tanks.

NotWearingPants posted:I disagree. Some people love it, others not so much, but I'm in the "love it" category. Fair enough. I am not going to berate someone for liking a bad tank. But you also describe why I don't like the T69. Both the T54E1 and the AMX 50 100 can finish off tanks in one clip, which is something the T69 can't do as well, unless a tank has less than 1k HP left (more likely 750 hp since one shot will miss/bounce). The T54E1/50 100 also have a secondary role since with their pen you can expect to pen things frontally. I play both in the same way, initial sniping, then find a isolated tank and ruin his day. Reload and repeat. The long reload is less of a problem since you learn not to be exposed during reloads. The T69 can't really do that initial sniping as well, and it also cannot kill isolated tanks as well. Or to put it like this, I didn't keep the T69 but I have kept the AMX 50 100 and it is one tank that I have no problems getting into tier10 with.

So the combination SU-85B, LefhB2, Luchs, KV-220 and Cromwell actually made the process of going through the individual missions fun. Especially the SU-85B was ridiculous. Do twice your HP in damage was just a joke. I would have used my B2 instead of the KV-220, but consistently doing 1k+ damage in that is kinda hard since you run out of tanks to shoot. For the next SPG mission I apparently need to do 1k damage to a heavy. Time to break out the T92.

Hey, Otter guys. If you play a T-54 you are apparently a statpadder according to your clan mate AggressorV. Who also unfortunately lost all the games we faced him in. He was not mad at all. Also, got Stalingrad in my IS-8, went west to fight in the city and racked up 3.8k damage, until I got killed by a T71. Thanks to AlleviatedRisk we won easily. But in the after battle report I had 4.3k damage, where the last 500 HP came from me shooting at different tanks and then blindly hitting a M53/55 for almost all his health. Never not blind shoot.

So the mission thingies provides some interesting results like bouncing your HP in damage in a IS-8. Isn't Osad in PZMOE?  Have I told you how much I like my Lefh?  Which later led to someone getting mad.  That game was kinda ridiculous since I nailed 3 light tanks by firing at them without letting the zoom go fully in, which basically led to me seeing the death message while looking somewhere else on the map. 9.6

The T30 is great with that doom gun and the T110E4 is pretty fun for pubbing. Don't you already have the T30, cause I have seen you lamenting removing it as US tier10 heavy? The E3 line was imo funnier than the E4 line, where the Jackson was pretty decent (long time ago though), the T25AT is a hidden gem untouched by nerfs, the T28 is the shitter in the line, I had more fun in the T95 mobbing tier10 heavies than I have had in the E3, mostly due to a better all around armour layout. But I guess the E3 is in more need for CW.

I still ended up with a win rate of 60% in my T95 and I am a worse player than you with worse clan mates. My tactic in the T95 was simple, follow the heavy advance and either hold a collapsing flank or push through a dead-lock. It is basically only Tier10 TDs that can threaten the T95 from the front, so that worked surprisingly well. I liked the T95 more than I like my E3 mostly due to a better armour layout. My favourite thing in the T95 was to bully tier10 heavies with the great gun and the armour. But yeah, if you can't deal with slow, stay the gently caress away from the T95.

You can't do the same stupid charges (more slowly rumble forwards in the T95 case) in the E3 since the LFP is more exposed. Mind you, I suck in the E3 so far. As for better armour layout, I meant all around armour. The T95 have better side armour with spaced armour. Regardless, I enjoyed my time in the T95 once I took it for what it was.

Worst and most hilarious case of tunnel vision in a while, or how do you not see a SU-14-2 creeping up behind you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To08VNgktZE Standard KV-5 game on North America with a brutal brawl in the middle where the KV-5 show why it is great. We almost loses it in the end though with 4 tanks vs 2 one-shottable tanks. The really horrible thing starts from 8:30 and watch our KV-13 especially. If I could punch someone through the monitor I would have done so with that player. 14k battles and still don't know how to handle a TD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEvSarSb7m0

Got the Obj416, freeXPd the top gun and got Prokhorovka. 4.2k damage and 5 kills on a loss and this is going to be a fun (and expensive) experience. In the end I was spamming HEAT since my regular ammo ran out and I was down to 5 HEAT shells when I died. Which equipment on the Obj416? Normal medium stuff (Vstab, Rammer, Optics) or something else? DonkeyHotay posted:i'm convinced that if you can't average a tanks hp per battle you are bad at it and shouldn't play it, i just wish i could convince every pubbie of that So in other words, more people should play arty since it is easier to do more than your HP of damage?

JuffoWup posted:you are doing it very very wrong if you can't do at least your health in a maus. Most of the poo poo is going to bounce off your hull and turret if you know what you are doing. Most don't though. Arty is the same way. Knowing where to get to get the best angles is 90% of of winning the battle. Being in some awesome safe place noone will ever get to, but also has horrible coverage because of walls and mountains won't get you anywhere. Ah, what would this thread be without people getting upset by blatant facetious remarks. A whole lot shorter for sure. As for the Maus, it is slow i.e. hard to get your damage in on steam rolls. That is reflected in the WN8 expected damage which is 1.8k damage. Without having played the Maus (got the VK4502B) I would assume the Maus have more problems getting consistent high damage compared to other tanks.

Prav posted:Never mind the turret, there's also the horrible cheeks, paper LFP and humongous commander's cupola. That thing is worse than the pre-buff Tiger. Slower, clumsier, uglier and with only two strips of flat armor to show for it. Well, the TigerP is pretty much the definition of pubbieproof i.e. good gun and front armour where most don't know where to shoot. It is going to suffer against good players, but against everyone else (i.e. the majority of the players) it will just stomp them into the ground. I had too many accidental Steel Walls and Spartans in that tank for it too be an actual bad tank. Speaking of the Maus line, do we know what the gold pen on the 150 for the Mauschen is going to be? Regular pen is 225, so it is a different gun from the E-100s 150, which has 232. A tier9 with close to Maus armour, better turret than the Maus and a 150 with decent gold pen is going to be interesting even if the mobility is going to be horrible.

NTRabbit posted:The 4502a got an armour buff at the same time the 4502b did, the upper front autobounces anything under 220 and will bounce 250+ with angling. Hell of a lot tougher than it used to be. Eh, it didn't as far as I know or remember. In all likelihood this is due to people not knowing where to shoot it since it is a rather rare tank. It still bounces a fair share of shots, especially 175 pen shots, while the mobility makes sure that you never sit still. A very enjoyable tank as long as one plays it as a fat medium. The height is pretty great in those occasions when you can shoot over cover while only exposing your turret, like for instance the ruins on the hill on Himmelsdorf.

I killed one yesterday by shooting it in the side and setting it on fire (also achieving my mission). Like I said, they are kinda rare these days so I don't face them so often, but I can't remember any occasion when I have had problems penning them in tier8-10 tanks. Also, I typically don't shoot the upper front plate on any tank for obvious reasons.

I joined up simply because there are more IOC players on than goons at the times I actually manage to play (and they can often click red tanks). Also If you want to play tanks, don't get kids. IOC players have good stats (mostly by statpadding OP tanks), and some are actual good players. Whereas some have supposedly good stats, but when you toon with them, you just want to scream at them. Like one guy that hates Prokhorovka and therefore he suicides over the middle ridge, while the match is still undecided and he effectively loses us the game with that move. To make it worse, he was playing a T-54 in that game, a tank which is pretty ideal for that map.

Also, having finished messing about with the M7, I've always heard that should be played as an anti-scout/arty hunter. Is the same true for the T21?

The T54E1 ended up pretty boring since most games were basically wait 35 s, clip an enemy tank in 7s, wait 35 s ad nauseaum until my HP or the enemies ran out. You need an absurd amount of damage in a tier10 game to ace that tank.
