I'm trying to play my StuG at the moment, and damn does the MM hate that thing. I keep getting put in matches full of T8's, as a T5 TD, which means that I can't penetrate anything, which means that I can't damage people, which means that I'm getting 60 exp a match and the end is nowhere in sight. It doesn't help that the starting gun has the penetration of a water balloon launcher, but I can't get the awesome gun yet because it's 4600 exp, and I also have a feeling that I won't be able to mount it because of my load limit with the starting tracks. Using HE isn't working either, because they bounce every time against the type of tanks I'm up against.

Yes, you heard me correctly

THEY FUCKING BOUNCE

Time to play my SU-85B I suppose...

[Chaosgabe]

Seriously? The Stug was the most awesome TD i´ve had up to now. Granted, i´m only up to the Jagdpanzer right now, but that tank is a bitch. It feels like i get set into way higher level matches with the same gun as the Stug and none of its mobility.
You can play the stug almost like a med sniper tank, with a killer gun. (depending on tier, ofc. :/ )

[Rex_Nex]

I didnt like the StuG. Its a good TD, but its outclassed by the SU-85 (Hell, the 85 can 1-shot it). The gun makes the tank, and there is no doubt that the 107mm is better then whatever the StuG gets. The one thing the StuG has going for it is the turning and armor... but I feel like that would be better used on a medium. StuG -> Turning + Frontal Armor, SU-85 -> Gun + Speed.

I love my StuG, that thing is bloody amazing.

StuG Lyfe Baby.

Pretty much the funnest tier five I've driven, if not the funnest vehicle in the game I've ever driven.

[Crozarius]

Don't get me wrong, the StuG isn't a bad tank (though I personally liked the Hetzer more), it's just that until I can get that 75mm StuK 42 L/70 and its sexy 138mm pen, I can barely scratch the tanks that I'm being put up against, (T8 Heavy Tanks)

[Crozarius]

Well that was disappointing.

I finally got the best gun for the StuG,

Lined my sights on a T-29
Green penetration arrow on the side armour.

Fire.
Thunk, direct hull hit on side armour.
"That one didn't go through"
Huh.

Fire.
Ping.
"That one bounced off"

/T-29 turns to face me

Fire.
Thunk.
"We didn't penetrate their armor!"
wat.

/T-29 hits me, destroying both my tracks

Fire.
Thunk.
"We didn't even scratch them!"
wtf.

/T-29 hits me again, 23hp left

Fire.
Thunk BOOM.
"Punched right through their armor!"
Did 0% to him
The fuck...

/T-29 kills me

Fucking T7 Heavies and their magic hulls.

[dogstile]

Reminds me of trying to take on Hetzers in my t-28. Used to get that even when hitting the back of those things.

[Chaosgabe]

Yeah, the Hetzer got significantly better after the beta. Back then everybody would lol at you if you came to a map in one.
The most fun Tank in my opinion is the Panzer 2. Fast, nice gun and in a very good tier

Victory!
Battle: Arctic Region Wednesday, February 22, 2012 1:32:50 PM
Vehicle: VK 3601 (H)
Experience received: 4,905 (x5 for the first victory each day)
Credits received: 28,448
Best battle I've had in the 3601 so far. Rest of my team was cowards and barely left base so I got a good forward position and their heavies tried to roll me only to get ganked by our TDs and cowards. The 88 so far has yet to prove much of an upgrade though.

In other news I did finally get the final gun upgrade for my IS.

I even elited my Panzer IV, which is surprising considering it gets victories about as often as Charlie Sheen gets off cocaine.

[Rafal99]

T-50 rampage!

Oh that was great :3

[Rex_Nex]

KVs make me so mad. They are just... overpowered as all hell. People say naw, just take advantage of their turret or whatnot, but a good KV will just position himself so you cannot even get that close.

Its not like I am thinking one-sided; I have a KV myself. Just pure overpowered in my hands also. The thing that balances it is the terribad matchmaking, but hell, that doesnt give any consolation to the people getting 1-shotted by it in tier 5 games.

So a kv one shots most lower tier tanks most of the time, when it hits. Then it is helpless for half a minute and has paper armor and a low speed/maneuverability. That kv 2 turret needed to mount either of its decent guns is a real handicap.

KV's are only really dangerous in packs.

[lastverb]

Why would anyone use 152mm gun on kv to fight anything less than tier 8 when 107 is so much better?
