This game is euro-trash, abuse simulator slop played by the most braindead mouthbreathers in existence. Everyone who likes it is a cuck with stockholm syndrome who should be forcefully uninstalled from life.

It's definitely sunk cost simulator. Even with how trashy the game is becoming over the years, I haven't found a good large arena alternative that have a large dedicated population like world of tanks (15k~ players on NA servers) or else I'd hop to that in a heartbeat

How come while the west makes hero shooter slop they can't copy WoT, a successful game, and just make it more generous/better? Gachas literally copy games all the time, but just make them more generous and print money. But no one applies this shit to niche games with jaded player bases?
>>
>>1388363
F2P PC games are on a decline, mobile game games have mostly taken over
I assume copying the all the server calcuation shit from either WOT or War Thunder is too complex, so copycats don't bother with this niche

you're supposed to sit there and take it like a cuck when sending in replays to customer support under physics abuse, in-game reporting does nothing
if you kept your mouth shut and sent in a replay report, you could've banned that guy for around 3 days and block him from the entire consumable sale
>>
>>1396397
>you're supposed to sit there and take it like a cuck
How dare I have self respect. You'd think they'd at least ban the other guy too for provoking me and behaving much worse, but no. I saw just now on tomato.gg that he's logged in within the past hour.
Are the names displayed on the replies next to CS tickets actual names of support staff or just placeholders?
>>
>>1396570
you didn't say if you actually sent in a replay, and as already mentioned in-game reporting does nothing
forgot to mention that you have to timestamp when it happened in the game timer, support won't bother watching the entire replay waiting for the abuse to happen and will equally chuck out your physics ticket otherwise
if you do any retaliatory physics action towards the pusher when sending in the ticket, you both get banned which is why you have to take it like a cuck
>>
>>1397133
I did send in a replay. Should I make a new ticket since I didn't include timestamps? The offense happened immediately, so it's not like they'd have to watch much of it anyway. He started shooting me and parked in front of me and I kept driving as if he wasn't there because I was in a superheavy tank. Him being in my way was only slowing me down, and it's overwhelmingly retarded if that counts as "retaliatory" especially since I clearly tried to drive around him multiple times only for him to reposition himself right in front of me. I did say "Okay, retard" in chat because he was throwing a bitch fit over nothing.
>>
>>1397165
>I clearly tried to drive around him multiple times only for him to reposition himself right in front of me
normally i would say that's enough evidence and not retaliatory if you didn't push him into enemy fire, the problem is the retard message
you got hit with an automated chat ban via reports (was the troll in a platoon?) and if you sent that in for manual review it may get extended, at this point not worth it since you can't grief him back from accessing consumable sales
i've called people idiots, braindead, stupid and fuckers myself and haven't caught one in 9+ years, but one of my in-game friends that got chat banned before seems to have stricter tolerance applied to him and will get randomly chat banned out of the blue for using the same language as i do

Nostalgic, but absolutely ass experience as an glorified tier 5 tank uptiering against modern tier 7 and 8s
Needs the 'survival improvement suite' equipment to improve the low base HP and stop having modules knocked out all the time
With hardening euipment, the 100% crew update and the hp buff from 2019, the days of perma-tracking are waaay gone and the TTK is too long for a single shot peashooter. Even when I did get the chance to unload on someone, I got beamed by laser-accurate SPGs for sitting still
Was running vents, experimental hardening and gun rammer, but I feel like gun rammer is a mistake since I can barely unload 2 or 3 shots in a row without receiving massive damage back now. Probably gonna swap out gun rammer for more accuracy via IA, or lean more into vision game with optics or LNE instead

I haven't played this shit game in over a year, I witnessed the anniversary come and go and didn't even bother logging in for the free tank. Just not worth my time. Wargaming are niggers, and I don't like their evil tricks. If I wanna play, I'll log in, but fuck this FOMO shit bait. I was busy with other games at the time and jumping through a hoop is still a hoop that I don't care for and the reward was another faggot ass low tier tank I'd never even play so I didn't care.

My only question is how is the current state of the game?
I've finished playthroughs of some games I was busy with so will have more free time to consider playing tanks in the next few months unless I get into other stuff but is it even worth playing these days?

I wonder which team will win?
>>
>>1406130
Depends on why you left last year
Games are still swingy with the playerbase going more into the extremes of either sweaty tryhards or passive boomers that just happy to be there, and game content output has really stalled ever since the WG and Lesta company split happened

If you’re interested in frontlines, the 7v7 onslaught mode or clan wars (lol), then it’s a decent time to get warmed up. Otherwise just join the growing horde of seasonal WOT players that wait for november - december to roll around for the yearly itch
>>
>>1406744
I got tired of the 15:3 and pay to win tanks all over, plus I didn't like frontlines at all despite it being lucrative. I don't enjoy the mode at all. Too full of nonsense like the air strikes and stuff.
I usually play most around thanksgiving/christmas but last year I skipped it.

My biggest problem is the game doesn't respect your time at all and trying to grind through a battlepass is ridiculous when you can be cucked and earn zero due to RNG ruining your shots while some bot ammo racks a maus and gets a load of XP securing him a spot in the BP earner group.
The game simply isn't worth a few hours a week because it doesn't reward you. The only way to really get anywhere is to poopsock this game and that's my main deterrent.
>>
>>1407377
Are you even playing the same game as the rest of us? You get a flat rate of points win, lose or draw. Doesn't matter if you did 0 damage or carried the team.

I finish off 1 of the battlepasses just by playing for like a week or two in a month and doing the dailies each time I decide to log on. That's just from playing a single tank.
>>
>>1407570
>Are you even playing the same game as the rest of us?
Last I played (PC WoT, I don't do console, for clarification) you had to be in the top 3 by XP earned or the top 10 or you earned zero. Doesn't matter if you got a bunch of shots in or finished people off, if you didn't earn top 10 base XP you got fuck all for your time.

Are you saying that's changed? Everyone gets a little credit now? How do you deal with bullshit daily missions like kill 4 enemies in a battle or being top damage? None of these things are skill based and depend entirely on situations made available to you, which in my case I'll kill 5 people in a game for like 3 battles in a row before I get the "bonus" mission where it requires 4 kills in one battle and then I can't get the damn final kill. Shit is ridiculous, and dropping down to bot tier and playing with LATAM NPCs just to cheat through it for BP points makes me cringe.
>>
>>1407592
I thought it was always like that but I could be wrong. I must have misread the page too when I went to look it up.

>The number of Points you receive after each battle will depend on your rank in the team results by XP earned
Seems to indicate you could be correct. But I rarely do so badly I get no points despite having some stinkers occasionally. I will go see what's up and lose a match real quick, I believe I'm updated. I had always assumed you at least gained a few points, but it wouldn't make much sense to hand out free bp points.
>>
>>1407599
Quite literally being in the top 10 (out of 15) means being in the top 2/3. That means 1/3 people will get zero per game, if it indeed works the way it used to.

A game where 1/3 of players get absolutely zero progress despite their best efforts is just toxic game design. This means anyone in a stock tank, grinding, or simply in a defensive tank in a 15:3 stomp won't really get the chance to participate in a way that allows them to earn points. It's easy to just call the 11th on XP some kind of shitter bot or whatever but more often than not that's actually not the case. Those people in 11th could survive and have 2 kills but the kills could be finishing off low HP tanks for example and considering how much of this game relies on RNG (pen, damage, modules, and accuracy) there's plenty of situations where competent players will be in the bottom 1/3 despite playing the game correctly.
People should be rewarded for good performances but earning literally zero progress is just dumb any way you put it IMO.
>>
>>1407592
When I used to care about filling out battlepasses, I only cared about the first three daily missions and ignored the bonus missions, not worth the hoops of going through them
I already had my fair share of anger from completing campaign missions
>>
>>1407616
Didn't realize it was so horrendously low, that is quite obnoxious. I guess they gotta find a way to avoid having bots farm battlepass completes.
>>
>>1407693
Yeah, if the top 10 exp requirement wasn’t there we would return to the old times where bots was on both teams
You guys shouldn’t be grinding out all three BP paths in the first place, going that far is no lifer territory
Smacking out dailies is the sane way to go, though there were some bonus dailies I didn’t bother with like the 4 kills and win battles since completing those takes like 40 minutes out of my day and I can’t be assed for that

NA is ded, wherever you get lowest lag

Really, you can't go wrong with most bond tier 8 heavies there for credit farming except for KV-5, IS-6B, CHRYSLER GF and KV-4 KRESL
The first three have shitty standard penetration that makes shooting premium shells a soft requirement, and the KV-4 KRESL despite having good standard shells, they are too expensive in cost for the damage it does

That and the alpha bump on the Pershing are the only real remarkable things. I guess the M48 getting kinda sorta turbo baked in is neat, M46 getting a somewhat decent aim circle buff was nice too.

The new czech lights are interesting. They're like anti-lights akin to the T49 running derp gun where anything paper gets shredded by fat 800~ damage unloads.
I've seen some straight up kill EVEN 90s and wheelies from like 90% hp to 0% hp with HE clips, this might be a new pub favorite tank with how YOLO heavy it can go like EBR but simpler in mechanics and kind of near guaranteed pen for chip damage.

That would suck but it’s obvious when someone is has a map awareness hack like that plus I imagine it’s pretty shit since it probably just gives you a minimap with locations and doesn’t draw the tanks themselves. On top of all that it’s only useful on a handful of maps in a handful of situations. If I was getting blind fired like that or saw someone getting blind fired I’d fall back and find a safer angle that would force him to fight in view range. None of this is defending WoT or Wargaming, it’s just one of the few games where hacks aren’t that helpful.
>>
>>1422079
Forgot to mention also that only real cheat that gives him an advantage is the fact it’s 14 versus 15 since my team has a retarded bot on it.

It draws a box of unspotted enemies and is color coded for lights + meds as green, and heavies + TDs as red so you just blind fire the green boxes of squishy tank classes, no detailed rendering really needed since lights + meds are not armored enough most of the time.
The minimap renders tank direction and deployment so it's really easy to peek people when the map tells you they aren't looking at your angle. It's insane for early game to know where to push weakly defended flanks and late game when it's broken for cleaning up when you know where the enemies are and what they are doing.
>If I was getting blind fired like that or saw someone getting blind fired I’d fall back and find a safer angle that would force him to fight in view range
He's not gonna bother digging you out if you're that deep in cover, he's just gonna reposition to keep shooting more unaware people out of the view range distance or push a weak flank himself while he knows you will be sitting there behind hard cover for 2+ mins.
>>
>>1422110
It's not that much of an advantage. Sure you see where everyone goes but for instance on mountain pass and in the instance of that video where the "hacker" was a nomad outside of a couple of early game shots there isn't much of an advantage. The game is won and lost in the J line where a nomad on either side would never have a shot map awareness or not. Knowing how many tanks went east is useless if your team lost in the west. I get the advantage but in pub matches it's pretty useless in most maps and matches.

I think after 30k games I have finally figured out how to play this game.
You are not playing a position, you are playing the map and its 1 vs 29 and use gold unless you don't need it.
You need the right mentality to move past 50%. Mastering camo, learning where to shoot, just wont get you far.
>>
>>1426558
It is still strong but you can get a literal upgrade with the T-832. Or play the Super Perishing which is very similar but medium and gets better matchmaking.
Its still a great credit printer.

>>
>>1428050
I thought the same thing but this is the first time I have ever managed to get myself into that mental state.
In that game I had plenty of opportunities to do my usual things and die without any reward. At the start I could have gone to the heavy line, which had no help. I could have shot normal rounds at the start to save money. Midgame I could have kept pushing the south and died to TDs. I didn't do any of my usual things nieve shitter plays and that made the difference.

Firefighting is a wasted slot, you really don't burn in this game unless you play russians or chinese tanks, and even then level 1 experimental hardening fixes it for tanks that do have that problem like obejct 430u and the 5a or a shitbox like the udes 15/16 which I'm assuming you're using
You clearly don't play K-91 because all the crew efficiency perks do add up and get boosted with vents, I can bump my 5.11 second reload time on my spotter build to 4.5~ seconds in endgame situations when I damage race against allies or when another retard yolos me and i have to pump DPM asap
Your """sniper build""" is missing some shit too, why are you using ammo tuning?
why are you using deadeye when you're sniping?
where's your concentration gunner perk? concentration is a free IAU bonus if you're sitting still
>>
>>1450104
>concentration
Because i the chance me sitting for 3s is so low because i have to keep fucking relocate for damage and most of the shot is at close to mid range anyway
>experimental hardening
One wasted slot of equipment is much worse than 1 skill retard, CVS and optics or stabs is already a must then rammer.
>deadeye
Having 2,7s of keeping enemy spotted and being able to check module damage is 100% worth it retard, and you rarely have the chance to shoot more than once when sniping unless u playing autoloader before they retreat after taking 1 hit. Getting swarmed by enemies is a skill issue most of the time and i can say with 100% certainty you don't even have 3 on any meta tanks, lmao.
>>
>>1450104
>ammo tuning
Having predictable alpha damage is good for making decision retard. I would rather having more dmg in the mid range than low roll is critical moment and lose the game. The pros on not low rolling outweigh the chance of high roll and the skill mostly reduce low rolling.

Concentration is useful when you are shooting far distances, where you will be sitting for 3 seconds most of the time
Experimental hardening is not a wasted slot, you have two loadouts you can use for a reason
Deadeye 2.7 second of keeping enemy lit only applies when you spotted the guy yourself, if you are out of render range and relying on other people spotting you won't get that bonus, and is a waste
I don't have the patience to grind out 3s because no one gives a fuck about them outside of flexing to clan activities, but I'm not a fucking shitter like the average player
K-91 is not a sniper tank, you have to constantly rock back and forth and switch between 450m shooting to closing the distance and DPMing people

>>1450123
Normally that is sound logic, but you're going from -25% minrolls to about -22% minrolls with ammo tuning if boosted by vents
For example, on a 390 damage gun, you go from 292 minroll to 280 minroll with ammo tuning... How many times are you gonna miss out on a kill by 12 damage, assuming you even roll the ABSOLUTE minimum amount?
Compared to intuition, perfect charge or adrenaline rush, ammo tuning is noob trap
>>
>>1450134
Read the armorer skill on your gunner. It's another ammo tunning. In total with bond vent and food u have almost -10% low roll.

Eh... I could see it as a sixth skill for heavies, but for all the other tank classes loader is too crowded with perks because of bia/camo/repair taking up three slots
A lot of the times, from my experience and from watching streamers, people don't care about low rolling unless it's on a killing shot, or playing meme high damage vehicles like deathstars and Jagdpanzer E100
I don't mind niche skills, because I did take communications expert to slightly better my odds against LNE scouts and minor DPM boost at times - but caring about damage consistency to this extent is falling into unicum territory and rarely noticeable
I'd rather go for the economy of intuition, shooting comfort from perfect charge or adrenaline rush for dueling than an extremely niche benefit in rolling killing shots - a lot of times for finishing someone off, the problem is reloading in time or getting the shot in, not the damage itself really

4.5 seconds on a spotting build without rammer is still pretty good

Did you actually find use for close combat? It's not often you get close to someone within 50m
>>
>>1450439
Close combat is useful when you get shoved onto city maps, or get yolo'd. K91 is a pretty competent brawler if it has to be. You can abuse the fully rotating turret to sit hulldown in reverse, you trade 2-3 shells for 1 against nearly everything without having to stick the long front hull around corners.

I've been doing that, the -9 gun depression is nutty, I bounce most shells off the K-91 ass somehow, and because I get shot in the ass instead of the front the K-91 doesn't get lit on fire or take ammorack damage
I've been really liking the camo build over DPM build, that which I only take on city maps. Being able to roam around in the open, not requiring double bushing to stay unseen and being able to disengage and ambush people in different spots rakes in easy 5k-6k combined games, assuming I don't fuck up in the first minute getting spotted going to my scouting position
>>
>>1450478
I typically run my leopard like that on maps where scouting is worth it. I'll have to set up my secondary on the k91 for a spotting loadout to give that a try. Just been enjoying being a DPM machine since patch, 4700 is hilarious when you catch out a heavy/TD dumb enough to not have repairs fully trained and can just permatrack them to death.

Unrelated but new LTs are way fun too with all these WTE100s driving around, makes for huge chunks of free damage.
>>
>>1450533
Yeah, I’ve been farming assists off some pretty bad WTE100 and FV4005s lately.
If you ever commit to camo build, try out the shell speed increase from perfect charge skill. There were times where people yolo tilt charge towards my bush while being farmed to low hp, and I’ve been taking them out within 150m~ distance firing behind a bush and still remaining unspotted due to 1950~ m/s on the APCR with vents boost’s sheer speed killing them before their client registers me at that distance
They aren’t driving blind vehicles either - usually its other meds like leo 1, batchats and other K-91s
I do have 53% camo with field mods and am normally an LT main in the past before all the maps got fucked up, so the experience might be different

I'm a shitter and I still managed 2800+ dpg and a 59% wr in the tier 9, the 8 has the same gun, similar reload and similar mobility, with, at least on paper, thicker armor over the upper hull. Seems like the grom will be a fun enough credit grinder

why is it always the latinx doing this on NA?

>>1458627
VK 45.03 has one of the highest credit multiplier at tier 7, on par with the lower end tier 8 premiums so you can spam food in it. Somewhat fast heavy with -8 gun depression, but it has the pre-buff tiger gun with 240 damage and bad armor so it can feel lackluster at times
Tier 6 tanks are stinkers because you play with arty sealclubbers, and SU-122-44 kinda not attractive when tier 7 tech tree TDs are cracked as they are meaning you will match up against them often

So I took out the Kilana again after shilling it recently, and I think I overrated the armor a bit. It's well armored against normal rounds, but it still crumples to gold rounds the same as Grom does, even while hulldown. There were times where I wish I had the Grom's mobility for jousting and ridge peeking, as even with all this turning equipment and field mods the Kilana is too clunky for corner peeking.
Probably end up swiping for Grom eventually, it plays like a Object 263 which is nuts.
>>
>>1461488
The gonk is an absolute monster, totally worth getting and keeping. The totally flat front means you can angle it in ways the 10 can't, and when you're top tier you can usually easily facehug your way to 6k+ dmg games
also nice hitlerdigits
>>
>>1461525
I'm probably gonna stick to tier 8s for this line. At higher tiers the damage isn't as meme worthy and people also hit you back harder making it more annoying to brute force trades.
It's flithy as hell to do 650~ damage trades against peashooters like T26E5, and one shotting some paper tier 7s with HE over 450m.
I got the playstyle down, so polish TDs aren't a fliter for me anymore.

This complaint makes no sense, because they removed a corridor that interacted with nothing since the beach is on low ground...
The beach actually used to be a fun place to brawl in heavies several years ago without having to worry about TD camping and SPGs, but recently TDs will camp the low cliff corners and SPGs actually go out of their way to drive to the beach to shoot heavies, so it's boring trash as a flank these days.
In return for removing the beach, they widen the open nature area so every other class doesn't have to hump the bowl anymore and light tanks can actually do their jobs now which makes your complaint even more confusing btw

I noticed you can actually choose the stage you want to unlock, you don't have to do them in order.
Thinking about getting the last stage for the universal manual, bonds and then leave.

>>1483597
It does not matter as much, poke out a corner frontally, trade 1 for 1 shots and you get an easy 2k damage game with +80k credits
Good players will pen your tank always, but for the VK 168.01 the presence of a easy cupola ironically makes the bad people more willing to shoot regular ammo at (you)
Because it is not DPM reliant and have 400m VR, you can even drop foods and get an extra +20k credits

42/80. I didn't grind hard this year but at the same time last year I was spamming nightmare. Maybe back then it would have been better to spam normal too, but that was a year ago so eh.

I got bored playing the modern meta premiums (bourra, bz-176, ambt, ka-ri) and started playing the boomer premiums like lorrarine 40t, type 59 and m4a1 revalorise.
There's something fun about playing tanks with clear flaws, though a lot of the old premiums have really shitty pen so intuition is required.
Damage per game is going down, but working out that damage is more entertaining than W keying it in and brainlesssly unload 800+ damage via autoloader or 500+ damage single shot trading

I think the protected mm lasts for 20 battles across all tiers, but I believe you can end it early if you platoon and queue up with someone else.
Tier 4 and below are a wasteland, because wargaming significantly increased exp grind speed.
IDK when you last played, but tiers 5 to 7 haven't changed too much. Tier 8 and above is an insane shitshow for anyone who hasn't played even just 2 years ago, the metagaming and powercreep is unreal and even the bad players have optimized loadouts now.

Depends on what server you are playing on, and what time you often play at. For NA server, once the time gets close to 9 PM PT, low and mid tiers (tiers 1 to 7) queue times slow down pretty fast
Tiers 8 to 10 still get fast queue times up until midnight.
The Holiday rush is here soon, so a lot of seasonal WOT players will jump back in December soon.

>>
>>1493209
WoT is superior game, WT require literally almost no ingame mechanics or tactics because it has respawn. WoT made the game really easy to grind and you cab get the Defender premium in bond shop which is you can get using the bond from annual well deserved rewards. It's frustrating but so is WT and you get fucked by gayjoob. I have played WT before and it's shit. It's not a tank game when you get bombed by plane and heli.

I've been in that situation before, don't feel pressured to buy if you're in that tight of a financial situation. This is nearly guaranteed to rerun again (though it might take forever, like >>1493256 said). There is always coping by rewatching anime, playing the tech tree version or downloading fanart.
>The right one is premium ammo thats more expensive but better in every way right
Yes, but at tier 5 there isn't that many situations where you need it, outside of shooting tier 7 enemy tanks.

Ap has better normalization when hitting sloped armor. Apcr has less normalization but has better shell velocity. Good god, learn the game before you play before you cry rigged game.

su-122-44 used to be top dog, but with the maps being more corridor-like, HP buffs to low tier tanks, rather low HP pool for a TD and increasing armor making the 175 pen AP a bit weak against tier 8+ tanks, it's a bit lacking.
The go-to tier 7 TD is now the Chi-To SP, tier 7 japanese tech tree tank. Vastly better platform and gun.
>>
>>1493329
interesting, yeah I had some premium funds and I remember the 122 44 being shilled, and it was really expensive
whats a good premium 7-8 heavy thats the go to these days if u want a cheap (for a prem) and good tank to grind with? Any recommendations from germany/USSR/US trees? Ones that don't get hard crept by the other new vehicles?

Tier 7 is interesting in that it's the only tier where the premiums suck ass and tech tree rules their meta. For Tier 7 prem heavy I would go with either tiger 2 kuro (collab tank) or VK 45.03 for the one of the highest credit modifiers for tier 7.
Tier 8, there are a ton of good and bad heavy tanks that I need more info.
Are you willing to pay money? If no, stick to getting the Object 252u or IS-5 from bond shop.
If yes, do you have a budget, and do you like lootbox gambling at times?
>Any recommendations from germany/USSR/US trees?
I am assuming you're asking about entire tech tree HT lines, from 1 to 10.
USA: T110E5 and T57 Heavy have been buffed, and are all good for their tiers.
Germany: E100 line has been buffed a while back and still the go-to german HT line to grind.
Maus line is cheesed by the amount of people willing to fire premium ammo now.
USSR: Absolute dogwater grind, their good tanks are at tier 10 only and going through the grind to get there is aids with current meta, their lines has not been buffed in ages. USSR bias has long since disappeared and been replaced with French/Brit bias

With a budget like that, premium tier 8 heavies and most tier 8 TD are out of your budget. With that budget, you are better off getting a meta MT or one of the cheaper TDs.
This picture is the best meta tanks that you can normally buy straight up ordered left to right, from cheapest to most expensive. WG rotates 2 or 3 tanks every week.
Right now, one of the most broken tier 8 mediums, the bourrasque (tier 8 french medium) is on sale which a lot of people have been waiting for.

30$ Borat, currently in the shop. Best assassin medium tank currently. But you need equipment and skill to get the best out of it

There are also premium tanks you can buy with the in-game currency 'bonds', normally obtained from account yearly giveaway / events.
Things circled in green circle are worth buying, from a profitability standpoint. Orange triangle (+ the lorraine 40t) can turn out a profit, but requires advanced knowledge of weakspots to get the most out of them.
Every other tier 8 and below tanks in the bond shop is a hard no.
>>
>>1493406
With premium times and 50-100% order you can grind a whole line in 1-2 days if you are good player and tryhard. Otherwise it take a week playing casually

You can still credit grind with tech tree tier 8s too, but it's heavily restricted to the few viable ones left, that have a high amount of penetration on their regular ammo which narrows it down to a select few tanks.
These are the only tech tree tanks that can stand up to the premium powercreep, missing one or two extra I can't recall off the top of my mind.

>>
>>1493899
I have the black mutz and I will not subject anyone to that monstrosity. The handling and accuracy feels weirdly garbage for a 250 alpha peashooter, and to fix that is to give up on much needed stats to compete with other mediums.
The credit income wasn’t notable enough to make a difference, and is simpler to blast someone with a higher damage alpha medium instead.
If you do like mutz firepower, the M41 90 mm does all that but better on a light tank platform.

>>1493900
I tried out progetto 54 recently when I was bored, the gun handling and reload speed is too rough even with bounty vents and vstabs + foods + 5 skill crew. IS-2-II is a better pocket medium ‘heavy’, in addition for double barrels being fun to use and nearly an overall improvement over auto-reloaders due to burst option.

I dug out the IS-3a from my recovery tab that i haven't played since equipment 2.0, and it's surprisingly comfortable?
Loadout is bounty vents, bounty IAU and bounty vstabs, with armorer as accuracy perk (did not take field mods for accuracy).
When IS-3a fully aims in, it's more accurate than nearly my entire garage with an accuracy stat of 0.35, I don't understand...
This was my favorite moment from my session yesterday.

T26E5 and VK 168 are both good credit earners that don't require food. I like the VK 168 because it fits the trade shot meta a little more and playing a super heavy is more interesting than driving a 240 damage peashooter (and you can always get another T26E5 in bond store via 8k bonds)

I already explained why VK 168 is decent, it is up to him to decide. If he’s so risk adverse, just take the T26E5. I just think it’s a waste when the T26E5 is available in the bond shop, while VK 168 is unique, good at trading and if it doesn’t mesh well with him, very good trade-in tank at 10300 gold value.

Bro you must realize nearly all referral questions come from weak players, you can’t be recommending them LT and underpowered mediums.
Heavies are intuitive to play - follow other heavies, aim enemy weakspot, click. MT and LT require a lot more map positioning and view range knowledge, which newbies and shitters will not get for a while

Any anons in thread actually clanfags from relevant enough clans to get tanks? ST-62 v2 looks like it's going to be a lot of fun
>>
>>1501906
I used to be in top clan but as i grew older i just can't handle the stress from maneuver anymore. But judging from the stats and how other people play it, it's a good tank: reverse-autoloader, accurate gun, quite trollish small profile with good camo and decent turret armor. Basically a better 907.
>>
>>1501906
I was watching some streamers and it is like a hybrid between TVP and 907 gameplay. Very good module damage, it was setting people on fire and ammorack often.
I am an auction shitter but it didn't seem fun enough for me to bother with maneuvers (have VKK and chief)

I play medium tanks so much that I don't know any heavy positions or how to play high tier heavy tanks
>>
>>1501925
I don't know if I'd call it better than the 907, the DPM diff is too much to overcome for competitive play at any level that matters (ST62 has 1000 less with similar equip setups), plus it's slightly slower.
For beating up on yellows/greens in pubs, the reverse autoreloader is definitely going to make it comfier than a 907 though.

The thing is, even 907 is rare on CW now and got replaced by the CS63. So being better than 907 in pub is already a good thing because it's better to get something comfy to use than something that will rust in the garage because it's outclassed by ne most newer tanks with higher alpha or clip dmg.

Anyone also play World of Warships?
>>
>>1502755
Ship is like watching paint dry. It's too slow
>>
>>1502774
Yeah it's more slower pace than tanks but not that bad when the action starts.
>>
>>1502088
To add to that, K-91 has pretty much replaced 907 in clubbing randoms with pure DPM.

Object 907 is the boomer outdated pick, just like nearly the rest of the russian tier 10s

I tried but being perma spotted while not seeing them back is AIDs

I think that's back when stealth fire was still a thing.

Fuck no, it's trash. Tier 9 premium tanks aren't worth it yet.

What tanks have you anons been playing recently?
These are my current ones, the M4A1 Revalorise, Blackdog and Type 59 are surprisingly comfortable for how garbage their standard pen is in modern WOT.

>i have played over 2000 battles on the borat and it's still going up
Yea i only like autoloader meds. Not even the skoda T56 is fun for me. Also fuck you, i regretted not spending money on boxes for BZ

BZ-176 is the only tank I have credit grinding in without food consumable due to the 160mm AP shell.
It is fun shooting at overmatchable spots, and being able to punish people that assume I'm HESH spam like wiggling their side armor is great. On days that I have premium, I can grind up about 80k-140k a match.
>borat
I tried it again recently, and it went back to the recovery tab for me. The gun accuracy is somehow worse than the AMBT without the auto-reloader benefit. Being able to play as a psuedo light is nice, but I would rather play actual light tanks and have fun with their HE shells + better acceleration instead, like RHM PZW and Blackdog.

IRM, VSTAB, VENT for city map. VSTAB, CVS AND OPTICS for open map, need to be bond equipment except IRM. No LT can hit for 720 dmg in 2s. Even 1 hit from your gun almost 2 shots worth of dmg from LT.

Borat is not bad, it's really stong and flexible. I just don't have fun in it compared to other tanks I have. I could probably push to two mark it, but it's simply too sweaty to play it, from the playstyle to the full gold setup.
Even that revalorise turd is more fun than borat because of how comfortable the gun is on snap shotting and fully aimed accuracy. And beating people over with a underpowered tank is fun.
>>
>>1502755
Yeah, and it's the one type of vehicular combat that Wargayming does better than War Thunder.
>>
>upgraded battle pass 60% off
hmmm, is it worth it? how much gold do you get? Like 900 or something like that? I don't really want the premium time, I was going to take a break after finishing the battle pass

Told u. A tank with reverse autoloader and good gun + decent platform can't be bad.

i love how Russian tanks have the best version of autoreloader mechanic and not the Italian.
>>
>>1508400
After re-discovering the reverse autoreloader mechanic via IS-3a, it's way more broken for pubs.
No one keeps count, and can get away with doing a lot of shit because people naturally assume you're fully reloaded. Get a cheeky shot in, they'll just take it and hide in their hard cover. To do that in a Skoda T56 or single shot like defender, people are willing to repush you back and trade, even yolo at times. At least on NA servers.
