Good job on the transparency wargaming http://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/pc-browser/46/panther-88-price-reduction/ Apparently even WG got cold feet about selling a Panther II for 42 Euros. Without pref MM it's just not worth it, unless you really REALLY want a German medium crew trainer in high level games. sauer kraut fucked around with this message at 11:23 on Dec 30, 2014 |

BIG HEADLINE posted:If they were going to put out a damned normal T8 MM tank they should have gone with a suitably debuffed premium E-50 with good terrain passage values to make up for the anemic engine they'd have to give it. Ya the only thing that makes German tanks playable is going full fantasy 1944 blueprints, then add another 50% of armor all round for good measure and slap on battlecruiser guns.

Dalaram posted:Is there any Data on the T-34-88 that is available on the Xbox version? Seems like it may be exclusive, and having a medium with the 88 at T-6 sounds awesome They should have sold that thing instead of the sorry rear end T-34-85M. Even if the turret blows off after 3 shots it would still be an improvement.

BIG HEADLINE posted:I think I'm going to have to knuckle under and get the Obj 140 and E5 grind done before Thursday. I free-xp'ed the M103's upgraded engine, and thanks to having 416 HEAT rounds for the mid-tier 120mm, I'm going to skip the upgraded turret and M68 and bee-line it for the E5. The minor upgrades the M68 seemingly offers for the xp spent are minimized slightly by the fact that I'll be carrying 12-15 HEAT rounds per game. Don't skip the M103 so quickly, just like the Obl 907/268 it may be turn out to be the better tank in the end. Never underestimate the retardation of that E5 tumor unless it has E3 armor on it

Snakes in a can posted:depends how the armor layout of the turret is, t-54 hull armor layout on a t8 pref can't be a good thing (a great thing if you're driving one making GBS threads on pubbies). Pref MM is not gonna happen (again) if it has any kind of 100mm gun. It would have to be Spershing levels of slow with 20°/s track and turret traverse, and have a historic 480hp engine for that to be even thinkable. sauer kraut fucked around with this message at 09:06 on Jan 13, 2015 |

Dalael posted:After playing last beta weekende, I JUST learnt that torpedoes from torpedo planes can be launched manually. And I was being a retard, trying to fly them coming in from the right direction and at the right angle because simply clicking on a ship and letting the planes do the work by themselves was a sure way to waste a bunch of torpedoes. I was making it so hard on myself for nothing. That's the first gameplay of WoWS I've seen yet, not even gonna bother until torps get removed. How can they make the same arty mistake twice

That's a lot of words to convey that the US tree still has everything for average pub players. T5 T67 (formerly T49) T6 M6 T7 T29 T8 I hope you have a premium tank for this shitshow T9 M103, M46 Patton, T54E1 TX T57 Hvy all US tier 6 and 7 light tanks are very good, too (well the T71 will be after the patch)

The 1945 is an average tier 7. If you're used to T29 class performance before grinding through it, you'll wanna kill yourself of course. Or you use the 105mm gold cannon as previously mentioned.

The pixels don't matter at all. Even if you played on a 256 colour 360p mobile phone display, you'd need a 4GHz Intel Core that runs the physics and god knows what WoT does with the CPU cycles.

PvP is campy and snipery to the extreme, you can forget about doing any aggressive stuff until the game is already won our you'll get your face blasted. If your scouts suck/die you might aswell leave the game. PvE is pretty chill with a group, enjoy your 0.5-1% research progress per game.

The U.S. M6 Heavy and T29 are easily obtainable and fun tanks. The tier 8 is a roadbump unless you sling lots of APCR, but regular tier 8 sucks balls for everyone and after that it's the M103/110E5 gravy train

The Kranvagn looks like a 50B with a very strong turret, Comet gun depression, Russian shape frontal hull and great dpm. The Stridsvagn is uh, a laser platform with 4300 dpm and a 4 pixel weakspot in the cupola. Imagine if you will a tier X E25 that needs to set up for 2.5s to shoot and 2s to move again. Camonet and binocs stay on while you turn in 'shooty' mode naturally. sauer kraut fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Nov 19, 2016 |

Hippyflip posted:Hey i was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice on what line would be the most easy to learn as a newer player im looking to play heavy tanks US heavies are the best allrounders and have all important gun depression for ridgeline work. T29 is the perfect attainable 'new player' tank, while sadly the T32 is a painful grind these days where its armor doesn't hold up and the gun doesn't cut it against nonstop tier 9/10 enemies. I really loved the M6 too for farming damage and credits early on, great gun but no armor. Soviet KV-85 - IS-7 line dominates in cities and flat areas, and would be many peoples first choice.

appropriatemetaphor posted:Is there a mode where it's not just getting stomped by tanks a few levels above you? Or is it always a level spread. Only play tier 9, they are almost never outclassed against tier 10, the matchmaking is much less harsh, and they stomp on anything smaller. If you don't want to grind that high, there is only a very limited number of tech tree tanks that will not make you want to kill yourself dealing with +2 matchmaking. For me that was the Cromwell and Chinese light tanks, but it will vary from player to player

Hellsau posted:dude it's not even the most unpleasant tier 6 churchill I'm not sure about that, the 32pdr on the garbage carrier is pretty nice and gets 10 gun depression. That's all you need to ship some damage before you die and get to play a better tank. If someone put a gun to my head I'd pick that over a 8 hp/ton driving weakspot equipped with a gun unfit for same tier mediums.

Hey I'm a little late to the wheeled party, but just elited the AMD and started with the Hotchkiss. The AMD was a lot of fun, blasting Type64s, Hellcats and the like with 200 damage high pen HE on the move whilst not having a care in the world. Now the Hotch seems to be the exact same thing? You go a little faster forwards, much slower in reverse and you got 10m more view range. But the enemies are much tougher or dug in and generally have better crews/equip. All the fun is suddenly gone Am I missing something? It's probably important to note that I only play tier 6 plus good 7's and my singular tier 8 premium, no intention of going any higher up the line.
