The new Panzers are bastards. Especially the Pz. I C. That bastard can just keep spraying bullets forever, and it's scratch damage but it builds up like crazy. They don't even have to shoot you with it, though, they can just keep you huddled behind a rock waiting for the fucking nightmare to just stop please just stop.

Also I can't kill them in 1 hit with the derp on my M2, which really sucks.

This is the interview for the management training course is it?

[Rex_Nex]

I call the little Pz I's "Instant Steel Walls" for my tier 5s =D

[Nadaka]

I just unlocked the is7, is it much better than the is-4 wich I already have? I probably only need 1 soviet tier 10.

[Rex_Nex]

Well, I guess that depends... the IS7 is a much better platform, the IS4 has a more dependable gun. IS7 has great armor, acceptable speed, and its not too big (like the IS4). On the other hand, the IS7's cannon is the worst cannon of any tier 10 tank. Low DPM, moderate alpha, moderate pen, terrible accuracy, terrible aimtime, no gun depression... even the Maus' trumps it, imho.

Up to you. If I were you I'd save your cash.

Is it me or is the Luchs even more fun than before the patch, despite receiving tier 4 scout MM? That 3cm is so troll.

Speaking of Luchs, I just got into a tier 4 match at abbey, and went to town. I went 1 line into the hills, swerved into the split, and at the end where the path rejoined, ran into a Pz 1C-literally! Instant destruction of the poor little pz 1c by full speed ram of a luchs. That set the tone for this match as I kamikazed 2 other tanks and took out a AFK luchs with the MK 103(though kamikazing that covanenter  was the finisher for me, but oh well that was a hella fun match!)

[sluissa]

I hate the UC 2-pdr. But more than once I've gotten really lucky with it and almost gotten top gun.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Last lucky game was on the Province map. I normally hate this map but there are a few tricks that can sometimes work, and this time one did. I started on the west side. I took a few shots as the initial scout rush zoomed to their death and exposed the enemy. After deciding I'd might as well do the same as I was bottom of the roster by this point, I noticed a small, mostly unmarked path not on the north or south, but straight up the middle of the east side just south of the big building. I darted up, got shot at a few times but got incredibly lucky as they all missed jumped into the building and took care of two enemies that were camping inside, facing away from me. I turned around, ready to head out and search for more when I see 4 enemies all rush around the corner waiting for me to peek out. Instead I hide in a narrow alley. I'm a TD and I'm now in the perfect position. I can't be flanked. Two enemies rush in, one at a time, giving me just enough time between reloads to kill them both, each taking two shots. Another waits outside, so I poke my nose out a few times to provoke a shot from him. I get it and it takes me down to 12 hp, but I take the advantage and fire as well while he's reloading. No kill. I duck back to reload. I try again, this time he misses and I don't. 1 kill away from a top gun, so I get sloppy. I see a MS-1 with single digit HP waiting for me. I rush him and promptly get shot in the face.

No top gun for me...

Still, a wonderful match and I even got a GG and a well done from an enemy I killed saying I did good managing to get into that position.

[tryrar]

Am I hallucinating or is this week's tech tree focus french heavies?! I can finally buy my M4 45 I had unlocked!

[Flying Dice]

Just got my Mastery and a Sniper on my KV-2, in a 1,200ish exp match (without bonus) by pulling one out of the bag. It was a neutral flag match on Ensk and ended up with me vs. a T-34-85, T-25, and whatever the T4 french arty is, all of them full health. The only thing I'm more thankful for than the 152mm is the fact that the T-34-85 decided to get cute and circle around repeatedly to attack from different angles instead of rushing me after I made my one miss. :3

[Jopax]

The PZ I C is now to be reffered to as Steel Rain.

Motherfucking great fun that one!

Also as much as I love the new Luchs it's top gun (the flak thingy) is seriously a big tease, can never finish anything off with just a single magazine :C

[tryrar]

Yeah, they seriously need to drop drum reload by 2-4 seconds, its a little too slow to be all that great


Just got a few games in with my AMX M4. Two things I've noted: The less armor is not so good, but the increased health does average out survivability compared with the ARL(though I'm doubting I'll be getting so many steel walls anymore)

Also, really needed to bank a BIT more cash before buying. I was only able to afford to retrain my crew and buy the 90mm F3 with the leftover cash from purchasing this tank, which means everything else is stock. Which means, this thing is slow as shit until I can grind the cash for the second engine -_-

Edit: Second Engine bought, now I'm at least as mobile as my ARL, which isn't bad I suppose. Really cannot goddamn wait until I can mount the second turret that fits the DCA 45, since the game seems to be having fun throwing me into tier IX matches with this thing -_-

[tryrar]

Goddammit, I spawn on Karelia on assault in my AMX M4 with us as attackers, so I decide to provide long range support(which is what the M4 is best at) by climbing the hill. Did I mention I was top tank? Well, it seems having me as top tank climbing the hill is a cue for HALF THE FUCKING TEAM TO CLIMB HILL, wether or not they're good at support from ong range. Even after I tell them to get off the hill, they still set up a hillcamp and we lose horribly

[Rex_Nex]

Guh. Bad night. Teams telling me I'm terrible because I don't have any ammo left after dealing 4.6k damage with my T6 and losing. Another guy telling me I am worst@tanks because I didn't camp the slope of the hill on Karelia and instead insisted on actually lighting up their tanks.

I know I'm not the greatest tank player, but cmon:



Does that look like someone who needs to be told whether to camp or not? :[

Oh well. Going to bug some b12ers tomorrow and have a go with buds instead of solofailing.

[tryrar]

Hehehehe, 1 shot on a tiger II in my AMX 13f3, 1016 damage. Normally I'd only be hitting them for ~200, but when a full-pen hit happens it is glorious

Tigers (ALL Tiger tanks) are extremely lovely arty targets. 80mm side armour, even on the tier 9 JagdTiger. Only tanks that suffer more from arty are prob the T34s. Slightly bad positioning, hell, bad luck, and they're dead.
And don't forget, French arty has mainly lower damage than other SPGs.

Never, EVER position yourself with your side vulnerable to arty unless you are 101% sure (141% for Russians) that they can't hit you.
I typically oneshot the following because of this (S-51/Obj 212): T-44, T-54, IS-6, IS-8. Though I don't oneshot it because of high HP, brit t10 heavy also gets it. Tigers generally face enemy or snipe from far (or I don't encounter them) so they aren't so endangered. T-34 (and other US heavies) can get unlucky and die, though there's a chance to hit the turret and not pen. As long as they aren't facing directly at your SPG, they can be killed off in one shot.

I guess I'm evil, but it's so lovely to punish people for mistakes. Favourite moment was killing a JagdTiger on Siegfried Line in town, when it tried to charge our Type 59. 1764 dmg, then I got the message that I destroyed it, didn't even hear "We torched them.", it just died.
