A GIANT PARSNIP posted:I love my church 3 because it makes poo poo loads of cash and can easily pen anything it sees. Will the E-25 be similar? E-25 will have a little more trouble since it can see things like IS-3s and other well armored bricks, but for the most part it has little trouble penning everything on the map. Plus it goes fast enough that you can just leave if you see something you can't pen.

DoubleWelp posted:Telescope or laying drive on the E-25? Probably optics or scope, it already aims really fast so a GLD is kinda wasted. I generally play pretty aggressive with my E-25, so optics work better for me then hiding since I'll be racing around like a dumbshit. I use a rammer/net/optics on mine. I think.

KurdtLives posted:I like my m46 a ton too. Is the m48 a step back? That's what I have heard. It is always strange to me to see someone with something like 100 battles and a whole pile of tier premiums. I mean, I've dropped money on this game, but who looks at a F2P game and decides "This seems neat, let me drop 200 dollars on it right away." I watched an enemy Lowe throw the game for their team once by firing HE, and I looked at his account after the game, he had a Lowe, JT88, T34 and a Super P, all with something like 10 games each, and single tier 1 battle.

WitchFetish posted:I'd think more HP, better mobity, more view range, better accuracy and aiming speed, as well as improved reload speed, shell speed and penetration would make grinding a T9 heavy tank more enjoyable, but eh, your choice, gotta get that tier 10. I think getting the turret would be worth the XP, but I got 2/3 of the way to the T110E5 with the 1st 120mm and its pretty serviceable. A little HEAT takes care of major pen issues, and if you like the M103, the T110E5 unlocks the top gun anyway. I think when the discount thing is over, I'm going to sell my T57 and move the crew back to my T54E1, T57 just isn't clicking for me the way the T54E1 did.

Managed to force a draw against a team with 3 G players and a really good FOXEY player on Sand River thanks to their team crumbling around them. Bet there was some really good chat going on that side, because if they didn't have a Rhoomba sitting in a corner, they should have won.

Magres posted:Just echoing this, the IS-7 is absolutely godly in pubs. Point your tank at someone, hide your lower front plate, and cackle like a maniac when nothing can pen you with silver outside of T10 TDs. Get hull down and even T10 TDs are going to have a bastard of a time penning your turret. Even in CW shooting gold, good luck penning a hull down IS-7 that's looking at you. I wish I ran into those people whenever I take my IS-7 out. I just don't like how sluggish it is accelerating and turning.

Wouldn't think doing 1000 damage in a FV304 or leFH would be difficult, but goddamn I can't manage it. Well that was some of the most frustrating games I've ever played. Every game a flank fell way too fast to provide any real support, both the 304 and leFH just don't hit hard enough on anything with armor to rack up damage in a reasonable time.

Working on the heavy mission to deal 1k damage and then capture a base. Prokhorovka comes up, I go up on our side of the tracks, deal a lot of damage and move into the cap. All that is left on the enemy team is a single Super Pershing sitting up on the hill, bunch of people are taking shots, but most are bouncing or doing less then a 100. Timer counts hit, hits base captured so I take a pot shot him, he was facing me at a angle, shot somehow nails his side, knocks off 400 health and a teammate finishes him off. Turns out cap points don't count if you kill the enemy tank even after it says you've won. If I hadn't pressed a button, easy money, but no, had to be stupid.

AMX-13/57 looks like it will end up like the 59-16, a really good light tank destroyer and that's about it. Especially depends on how many shots it has per drum. But a 57mm gun seeing tier 9s and 10s? Thats just hilarious. Even if they give it Chi-Ri levels of intra-drum firing, it will still take a lot of shots just for the chance at doing 200-300 damage. The Chi Ri can lay out some damage if it sees a lot of same/lower tier tanks, but anything heavy will simply laugh at it.

Illegal Carrot posted:What does "regular vehicles only" mean? Are premium vehicles excluded? Regular vehicles are all the tanks that aren't premium. So premium vehicles don't get the bonus, I guess even WGing learned that lesson. 150k profit Type 59 games were pretty amazing. They could go with the VT-1-1, it still used a rifled gun, but only a 105mm. The guns being placed at the edges of the tank would be weird though, doesn't look like they have much horizontal traverse. Also looks like a prototype for a Mammoth Tank. If they felt the need for another tier 7 German TD, the Kanonenjagdpanzer would be fun. It looks like a super JdpzIV with a 90mm. Or it could be an alternate E-25. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanonenjagdpanzer CitizenKain fucked around with this message at 07:04 on Jan 23, 2015 |

So what is the purpose of the Caernarvon? As being a slower Centurion doesn't really seem to be much of a benefit in exchange for mildly better gun handling.

I'm working on the mission to kill 2 TDs while in a medium, I take my Cromwell and Seigfried Line comes up, more then half the enemy team is TDs and its a tier 6 match. I get behind one of the bunkers in the field, put shots into a charging Cromwell and a Vk3001P, but I take some damage from TDs in the back. A enemy SU-100 somehow nails the very tip of my turret above the building and I explode. Next medium games, 1 TD max.

I finally got my MT15 mission to kill 2 TDs after way too much effort, and some idiot teammates threw the game. I had so many games where the enemy team would be 1-2 TDs, or I'd be in a Easy 8 and the only TDs were tier 8's. Saw this in the CoH2 thread. This would be a great premium, the Tiger-34!

Big thing I noticed on test was that shooting on the move wasn't as reliable, but letting things settle in was still ok. Also the AMX CDC wasn't that good, especially without limited matchmaking like the FCM 50t. On the other hand the sheer number of CDCs and STA-2s made shooting HE fun. Also on FTR there is a new German TD shown, a tier 7 Rhoomba with a 88 L/71. Looks neat but I've got enough TDs. CitizenKain fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Feb 11, 2015 |

Which makes sense, its crazy good for its tier. Tier 9/10 stuff didn't really lose a lot though, some are only 10-20m, which won't be a huge change.
