ARL 44 is awesome when it shouldn't be. Fire nothing but gold out of that 105mm gun and just pretend you are gambling with every shot.

I don't think I'm going to bother buying any more French tanks. I'm having too much fun with the ARL.

I don't have the replay, but I had a tier 6 match in Ensk where a T1 Heavy sat in the southern bushes for the entire map. When I asked what the gently caress he was doing as the east side was getting butfucked, he informed me that he only had one hand and was doing the best he could. :allears:

I enjoy the Leopard and bought the Luchs back, though I'm unwilling to push up the light tree until I think I'm a bit better as a player. I kept my T-34 around too, so I could unlock the LTTB at some point. Is the MT-25 okay?

Keep going up the German light tree a bit longer, playing for fun drive-by shooting. No, seriously, the Leopard and VK 28 are still hella fun. Even if you don't do much useful scouting, I love blasting heavy asses. It's the Awfulpanther I haven't bought yet and can vouch for.

Atal Vataman posted:

Also wtf is a bb or dd or hh or whatever

A quick rundown:

HEAVY TANKS
BB: Battleship. Big guns, lots of armor. Or if it's an older ship, a mix of big and medium guns. Also, the Germans made some with kinda small guns.
BC: Battlecruiser. Big guns, not a lot of armor. Maybe. The Germans had smallish guns and lots of armor.
CB: Large cruiser, stupid US designation. Big guns, not a lot of armor but it's not a loving battlecruiser, ok, stop calling it that.

MEDIUM TANKS
AC: Armored cruiser. Medium gunned ship with an armored belt. Woefully obsolete by like tier 3 or some poo poo like that, excpet for the Germans who made them in the 20's and 30's.
CA: (Usually "heavy") Cruiser. Medium gunned ship.
CL: Light cruiser. Medium gunned ship, but not in a CA way. Like, it can actually be more powerful than a heavy cruiser in terms of broadside weight but it's still "light" because of treaties. Or it can have little guns. Depends upon the decade.

SKY CANCER
CV: Fleet Carrier. Mobile airfield. Range in size from itty bitty to holy loving poo poo. May or may not be armed with medium guns.
CVL: Light carrier. A smaller mobile airfield. May or may not be seaworthy (yeah, Japan, I'm looking at you). Some early CV's could easily have been reclassed as CVL's if they were kept in service.
CVE: Escort carrier. A small, slower airfield not intended for frontline duty. Except for the ones that were.

LIGHT TANKS
DD: Destroyer. Small guns, torpedoes and zoom zoom. Except for the ones Germany made, they had big guns.
DE: Destroyer escort. Same as before, except smaller and not as much zoom. Good for killing submarines. We don't care because there are no submarines (ahem, submersibles, technically. Submersibles stay on the surface quite a bit. Submarines are intended to remain underwater for most of the time, like the late war German and Japanese designs) in WoWS.
PC: Patrol craft. This means a lot of poo poo depending upon who made it. A boat with guns? Yep, patrol craft.
MTB: Motor torpedo boats. These are fun and so are not in the game.

TANK DESTROYERS
are submar- submersibles. gently caress wargaming.

hope this helps

there are of course more than this and other ships which don't fit into any one category alone

and designations have changed since then, so modern destroyers are kinda like cruisers and destroyers had a baby bote :downs:

Next time on Missing Name's Boatsperg Hour, I'll discuss the differences in battlecruiser doctrine between the Germans and British in the years leading up to WWI, during, and afterwards, up until WWII.

Mainly them because no one else really built battlecruisers in the numbers they did.

Hellsau, I want to say thank you for recommending the comedy 37mm autocannon on the MT-25. When it works, its so incredibly satisfying to just grind some poor idiot to dust. Really burns through the money though firing APCR out of it though.

It's not a tank to make credits in. It's a tank to gently caress over Rhoombas.

If you read the official forums (never do this) you will discover plenty of pubbies that demand the Tiger to have 200 mm of armour (because the Germans used alloys, you see) and have a gun that can penetrate and one-shot any tank (legendary and feared 88!), at tier 5 (T-34 and Sherman are historical enemies!).

They'd also need to give it a removed engine governor effect so it breaks down all the time. Or is MAN AG foolproof for its diesels as well?

I'm thinking of a ridiculous sealclub tradition - Superpref Saturday, or Superpref Sunday. Just a few hours where we get in B2s or Valentines that only see tier 4 and just wreck poo poo. Not even all night. Even other ridiculous pref MM premiums. Maybe even in the middle of the afternoon. I don't give a poo poo. Just a few hours of ridiculous tier IV nonsense. Then, everyone can get back to botes and being pissed off at tier X or whatever.

I might just be rolling higher on my RNG, but on other tier 3's it does a hell of a lot of damage when it pens, or about the same as AP if it doesn't.
