Not to mention the most stylish T9 TD.

German #1 aesthetic.

Yeah that was another thing I couldn't stand about T28 - the visage of freshly unloaded pile of feces, including the right color.

T30 has pretty much the same WR as the 704, so it's not overpowered.

T30
57.6 %

Object 704
52.03%

Edited:

T30 has right now the highest global W/L ratio of all vehicles on the EU server over the last two weeks (except the french arty prem which only devs played)

Best tier 8 TD leading to best tier 9 TD except T30 which is bullshit and should be nerfed.

unless the t30 is in a good hull down position they're very easy to kill

Edited:

and apparently having a lowe inflates my stats and because of that it actually means im bad



coming from a player who has less kills than games

Because we know Lowe is an OP tank.

Historically proven on beginning of clan wars by the FP Lowe army.

Thinking of selling my Hellcat. It's just so shit, MM shits on it, and it doesn't lead to any worthwhile tanks. Back to grinding to the JagdTiger again.

[Trunk Monkay]

Is the 4502A any good? I'm deciding whether to grind it after I finish my JT grind, or go down another line.

4502A is a KT with a shittier gun but more agility.

It's a faster KT with a frount mounted turret and no long 105

[Orkel]

And it has way shittier armor

I respectfully disagree

IS-3 sure feels horrible to grind on.

I want my BL-9 now!

I never treated my 704 that affectionately. Then again, it didn't really deserve it.

I thought it was horrible, because I couldn't buy the D-25T, because I only had 50k credits.
I was forced to sell the IS-3 2 days later because I couldn't afford it. Then I got an m10 wolverine, a KV-2 and a Hetzer.

Word on the street, 2nd US heavy line is a possibility according to the Chieftain(US tank expert for WG)

Cooome on T58! (155mm like the T30's but with a 6 shot autoloader)

[Awesomecaek]

IS-4 Get!


Farewell, IS-3, you glorious bastard, you will be missed.

If I ever find myself with ridiculous amount of money, I will rebuy you just for fun.

I have 62 gold and its useless for converting exp so should I rename my JT commander to Otto Carius?

But the IS-7 also came with an autoloader and the ability to travel at 60km/h, so it can't be that bad.

Yes, do it for the sake of my Otto on my ferdi. RIP, he was a saint. You will not be forgotten, Mr. Carius.

Also StuG is fucking fantastic after the armor buff.

It was down to me, an Object 704 and a T34. The T34 was low health (below 100) and me and the Object were full health against an Object 212 and a Patton. The 704 took the low road to their cap and got one shotted by the arty, I swooped in and blew up his ammo rack and then me and the T34 capped for a victory. Too bad this wasn't my double.

Edited:

I just noticed the credits. Holy shit.

I got about 50k profit.

You know, forget premium tanks. Get a Jagdtiger and you too could be rolling in dosh!

[scout1]

So looking at the stats for the King Tiger... low (really low) DPM, worse alpha than russians (same as americans), and huge frontal weakspot (lower glacis).

What makes this tank so good?

[MadCatMkII]

...Indeed.

Good Accuracy + Decent penetration (0.6 more accuracy and one second faster aimtime)
Very big frontal glacis + weakspot hideable by sitting in a small rut
Zero-point turning (and very fast)
Armor angling

[lintz]

I often bounce KT lower glacis for no reason. Sucks. Long 88, mind you.

Edited:

So I unlocked the T29 today, but I'm about 6k exp away from the IS as well. Which one should I buy first?

[zom_bie]

Usually it works like this: Enemy KT frontal armour is super strong (I bounced 3-4 128mm close range) and when you have it, hardly any bounces. Even though I hardly ever bounced stuff in it, it's one of my favourite tanks in the game. It's just that good.

[Gunar]

That feel when I didn't have enough money to buy a second BL-9 after getting the IS-4 so I had to take it off my IS-3 and leave the IS-3 with a D25T until I can buy a second gun.
