World of Tanks

Blame my lack of knowledge, but I don't understand if you're happy of your purchase or not. :U

In my opinion, KV-3 is worse than IS - much more cumbersome and slow, and the armor doesn't help at that tier.

Anyway, I'm finally driving around in a fully upgraded T28 Prototype, and it's a good machine, though the lack of speed is kinda frustrating. I'll probably transfer the crew and sell it when I get T30, nerf threat be damned.

The KV3 is not as adaptable as the IS, thats true, they still ahve the same gun, and the KV armor should help to last for a bit if youre in the second rear.

also, finally a good battle with my E100 ❤

KV-3 can undoubtedly take a beating before it goes down, but holy balls is it slow. Too slow for my taste in terms of flexibility XD.


Also, speaking of T28 prototypes, I was able to just lol my way through them in a couple matches using my cent 1. It really shows how brutal 50mm less armor for a turret can be. Hull down they've still got higher chance to bounce though atleast, but even when angling the hull they're either still prone to frontal weakspots or overangling into their paper sides.

If they overangle or can't make use of the excellent frontal armor they're doing it wrong. That said, it's still "only" 203 of thickness, so most equal-or-higher tier guns can do the job. Had a bit of a laugh today when I managed to bounce some shots from an E-100 (he had the 15cm) by angling a bit.

Also, turretless T28 is much worse than Proto, any gun with decent pen (220+ is good enough) can go through the flat bumper under the cannon and ignite the transmission. Add the same piss-poor speed and mobility, nonexistent gun depression and the fact that it's VERY team-and-map dependant, and you've got one painful grind ahead, though T95 should reward the brave ones.

So I just got the Tiger today, and as an initial assessment, it's like I'm driving the KV36.01H still. Gonna grind through to get the top gun to see where the true strength of the tank lies, so I'm gonna stick with the stock 77 mm for it's penetration, considering the matches I'm gonna find myself in.

But I am disappointed that the Tiger doesn't upgrade the armor at all from the Previous tank and then matches the armor with the IS.

The long 88 on the tiger gives it a very high dpm for a tier 7 heavy (with the 8.8 buffs it got). The flat armor in the front of the hull prevents you from side scraping, but note that you can get lucky bounces if you angle at 30 degrees left or right.

Speaking of the long 88, I unlocked it on the Jagdpanther, though I'll wait tomorrow to buy the tank itself since it'll be on discount. I understand that it is an excellent gun at Tier 7, so should I use it as my standard gun instead of the 10,5 (dirt cheap shells, superior penetration and accuracy)?

Also, is the long 88 enough to grind for the 12,8 when used on the Ferdinand? I'm planning on following the German TD line as well, since I'm almost done with the American one (still got to get the T30, but it's a matter of time).

Bah, accidentally clicked +1 rep, I'll fix that later. Also, I used the long 88 to grind out the exp for the short and long 105 on the tiger 2. It has the acc and more pen than the t32 105 so if I can succeed in that the long 88 is fine. The jgdtiger 88 uses the long 88 as well, just carry some apcr for those tier 10's that you'll occassionally need some more pen for

Okay, played the Tiger for a few hours now, and Jesus FUCK I hate that thing. I'm sure it's awesome to play as once you max the thing out, but as a stock, I can't do jack shit. The worst of my experience is that out of the couple dozen battles I did, the vast majority of them were tier 9 battles, and with that 75mm, I'm only penetrating tanks my own tier.

So far, the grind for this thing has been nothing but frustrating, doing so little in these battles other than being a damage sponge, I'm barely getting any xp. And I need about 26k to get the gun that can actually help me is going to be quite a while at this rate.

This is where it helps to have a prem tank and drop some money on gold to convert every now and then, or just use the prem tank to farm credits to fund gold rounds. Thankfully the Tiger 2 afterwards has that long 88 stock, only downside is the turret.


Right now I've been earning 30-40k credits a game with an su 100y after all the deductions and with prem account.

400k credits away from an isu 152, have the free exp for that bl10 as well. Oh how sweet it shall be.

I have the SU-100, and I'm thinking of getting both the SU152 and the SU100M1. I feel no need to get only one of these, and I might as well go down both lines. Besides, that SU152 has the mother of all derps, and it's stock. Wonder how useful HE rounds will be for it.

As for converting free xp, I already elited a few tanks that I still have, those being the Matilda, T150, Pz.slf.IVc, and the VK36.01H. It'll be easy enough to gain the free xp from these, but I always preferred to grind through with the tank I was using, using free xp to lighten the load by a few thousand xp.

You really ought to be firing heat and ap even in the su 152 derp to maximize its effect. Otherwise it's just a worse kv-2 a tier higher.

Speaking of Russian TDs, I just got me the SU100Y, and holy shit, that thing is fun. Got it because I found out it was on sale, and people were saying it was a good money maker. I am having the time of my life playing that thing. Hell, I even rammed an ARL after tracking it, and it was so satisfying.

Yeh.

Try ramming with lowe.

People will feel it.

Also i had a chance to buy D. Max or Su-100Y.

Got D. Max cause of gun depression.

Armor is paper but gun is accurate, good ROF and hits hard.

Dicker Max was still quite expensive, all things considered. I got the SU100Y for only 3500 or so gold, and the Dicker was about twice that still.

But the SU100Y may have bad gun depression, but it has a quick aiming time. It has about 350 view range, so you're pretty close either way when you fire at someone, so the accuracy is decent in that regard.

I got D max at the price of 3300 gold...

And it wasnt on a discount......

But yea, SU-100Y lacks depression and everyone wants to shoot it as well.

Same with D. Max.

You can get lucky with that mantlet but yeah, su 100y is quite inflexible when it gets caught. it doesn't help that it's absolutely massive too.

Yeah, got the Dicker Max and another TD premium mixed up.

And funny as you should mention getting lucky with that mantlet. Just played a match where a Pz.SLF.IVc took a shot at me, and I bounced it.

Lucky.

Update: Just got the 88 long and the rest of the stuff for the tiger other than the engine, and I must say, it's pretty good. Really good fire rate along with a moderate rate of damage helps out the team, and it works best as a support tank.

Oh boy, what a day.

I wanted a moneymaker so I re-bought KV-1S, farmed over 19k exp. I saved enough to unlock both tracks and engine for the T30 when I get it.

Also, 69k exp to T30, come oooon~
