No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

I saw three TOGs doing that in a match on airfield. None of them got any kills, but it was hilarious.

That actually can provide a fair bit of extra speed to the tank being pushed.

At the same time you're reducing the speeds of 3 or 4 vehicles to about 1/3 of their normal speed, so it's not a great trade methinks. Unless you've got absolutely nothing better to do with that time, I wouldn't recommend pushing around TOGs or T95s.

Not to mention you'd have to be a in a rather beefy vehicle yourself to affect a T95 in any real way. They are kinda heavy

Edit: Got back onto the test server to see what the changes for the Luchs will be like, and HOLY SHIT that new 3cm autocannon it gets is nasty! almost 100 average pen, 30 average damage(pretty high for a burstfire autocannon!) and 5 round clip. Each shot fires about 2-3 shells, so imagine getting behind a kv and unloading an entire clip on him for about 150 damage then rolling away in the Luchs' still awesome acceleration, maneuverability, and speed! With something like that, I don't even mind Luchs getting scout MM(it's a better scout than the Leopard anyways, since it doesn't bleed nearly as much speed on turns) since there are tier 8s this thing can hurt from behind

So. A Himmelsdorf map down to me, a Grille, a T40, and a Hetzer against a KV-1S, a KV-1, a Matilda, and a JagdPzIV. I'm in my JgdPzIV.

Me: "Does the 1S have the long 122?"

"Yes" "Yes" "Yes"


The Hetzer dies stupidly, as does the Grille. The T40 does some damage and dies. I pop the JagdPzIV. I'm poked around the back of the big trainhouse and take a shot at the 1S as it comes around the corner and quickly back off, planning to lure it past the corner where I can track it and kill it without it getting a shot in. Well, that works perfectly. Except that the KV-1 comes through the door behind me. I kill the 1S, push out to finish the Matilda so that it doesn't take me from behind, planning to get out of the KV-1's line of sight. I die in the process.

Guess what I got to see? THE 1S HAD THE FUCKING TERRIBLE STOCK GUN. I could have completely won the match if a bunch of morons on my team hadn't lied to me for no reason (or at least stood a better chance of winning). WHY!? RAEG.

The PzIV has this weird aura about that causes everyone and their grandmother within 4 miles to desperately charge into it for the free kill... it's a bit like the T-28, or the KV-2 (if the first shot didn't scare them shitless). As a result, you really need to hang out with teammates and keep solid cover, only engaging enemies that are distracted and turned away. Pretty much every arty can one shot you, and again, keep in mind that they're desperate to do so... there can be a T-50 circling an arty, and they'll still be like, "OOH, PZIV!"

that'd be great advice...if I had the 105 already. I only JUST unlocked the SECOND 75 and don't even have the second turret unlocked yet, much less the tracks!

If you're on the US server, I could always try pumping some wins into you to make it go by quicker! If not, guh. Not really sure, I don't have much luck with stock tanks either.

hit me up on the server then (I'm US server definately)

I'm just lucky I had the best engine already from the PzIII/IV. This tank is also reminding me why I said "Fuck German Mediums"
