[MMO] World of Tanks

[Craig234]

Just spent 110k free exp (all ground out exp, none converted) for the Jgpz100. I still have to sell my JT and my E100 to fund it. I am so beyond pissed at my E100 right now that I am looking forward to not seeing it in my garage ever again.

Darn, I usually hate seeing enemy E-100's, seems decent. And the JT is a nice enough tank to grind on - but hope you enjoy the new one. I still have nearly 200K to grind for it.

back in the day people fielded 2 Maus for base defense I think. Anyway teams that field nothing but Maus and IS-4s probably aren't any good, there's really no good reason to have an IS-4 on the field if you can get an IS-7. IS-4 is good in pubs for punishing people who don't aim, but that's it.

And E-75's armor is better than E-100's. In my E-75, I never lose against an E-100 unless they're slinging gold rounds or if I'm already half dead. There's just too many big soft spots on that front glacis, and the police bar is very easy to hit if they're face hugging you, completely negating the big turret armor. The best E-100 drivers will try to ram you because that's the only reliable way to damage someone... the 15 CM is kind of a joke.

So...

Heavy: T29
Medium: T43 & M4 (Soon easy 8)
Arty: Hummel
TD: SU-152
Cash Cow: Lowe

I kind of want something else to work on...The TD just isn't doing it for me..I don't know whats up..maybe its the playstyle.

I already have 2 mediums (T43 isn't that fun)..was thinking another heavy..I have the IS already done..or I could start up the French line or German..or take up another TD..maybe US

Keep going on the American heavy line. You are passed the worst of it. The rest of the tanks are either top for their tier or hold their own very well. When I am mad at the game, my go to tanks are the M103 and the T110. Even in losing, they can deal damage and hold their own very well.

Stick with the T-43...I love my T-44, though the T-54 isn't all it used to be, its still a fun little tank.

TD - what is it that you don't like about this TD? There are really two ways to play a TD. Stay back and snipe from cover or be near the front and wait for opportunities to poke and deal massive damage. The russian TD's fall into both IMO, though with their big guns, they can fill the role of poking out and owning someone with a BL-10 shot. Its really all in your play style. Find a fun tank and stick with it.

T-50-2 WILL lose money, even with a premium account it's hard to break even. It's a "fun" tank, not a money tank.

The only time I made money was when I spotted the whole entire other team, kept them in sight so our TDs and arty could rip them apart, or when I go out and solo a KT/ lone heavy by myself. If I even have to use a repair kit/medkit? lose money guaranteed.

The repairs are expensive, so if you don't get hit its possible you'll make money. If you even get tapped you probably owe a 10k repair bill.

well, at least I know I'm not completely doing it wrong LOL

still suck with it. Gonna grind the t-14 for a while to make some money back and buy upgrades.

I cannot believe I prefer playing the T-50 to the T-50-2 =X

That's the T-50 more than the stock t502. Wait until it's upgraded - get a vent and coated optics, get brothers in arms and crew bonuses, maybe one of those speed boost items.

Tried arty?

I thought I had just replied to the other tanks before

I equipped the shit out of my T-50-2, camo/rammer/vents

100% crew that's taking forever to grind...also use the heavy oil or whatever it is every game (so every game it costs me some 13-15k to bring out the t-50-2)

still need to buy the upgraded turret, last engine, last tracks/radio, and a bigger gun...

I presume I want to use the 57 mm ZiS-4 (currently using 57 mm ZiS-8)

I dunno if I will enjoy the JgE100, but I know I am absolutely done with the E100. The JT is still fun, so I plan to rebuy it in the future. I also know that the JgE100 is doing horribly in the stats, so I can assume that it will be rebalanced. For whatever reason, the Russian server does well with the E100, so they consider it balanced.

 

[Skott]

The T-54 got slightly buffed in 7.5. All the other T9 Mediums had a slight toning down in some way but the T54 got some slight improvements. Gun improvement being one small change. Watch the new official video about the T10 meds and you'll see also the T9 meds changes as well and how they all compare to each other and why they made the changes. I play both American meds and Soviet meds in the game and I lean a little more towards American myself. But that is just me. I haven't made it to T10 in the medium lines yet however.

I run coated optics, torsion bars and vents on mine. Camo or binocs are good if you're a passive scout, but I feel like a 2801 or chafee are better as passive scouts: t-50-2 is just too fucking nimble to waste a round sitting around. torsion bars supposedly give you additional hp in the suspensions and makes you harder to track, it's in the game descriptions now, but I don't really feel the difference.

I also use a speed governer, use it to reach 72km fast or to improve your speed when circle strafing, get up the hill a tad faster and whatnot... and its cheap as hell and doesn't have to be replenished every round. I'm using the 57mm so the rate of fire is already respectable, don't feel I need the rammer on that thing.

The upgraded tracks and engine makes this thing nimble as all hell. Before that it was kind of like a hog. I wouldn't "grind" this tank. Take it out for a few fun drives, and if you start to get frustrated then park it for the night.

I think this is what I'm really missing compared to my decked T-50...I can't turn on at dime and half my strategy requires circle strafing to piss off bigger tanks.

Thanks for the advice on equip, when I have money again I'll buy more goods...(I sold my Kv-3 to finance the 50-2)

Don't use the gas, that'll cost you those credits - use a speed governor which you can turn on and off when needed. Those last track and engine will be great.

Ya, the ZiS-4 is a good gun to use - but the tank isn't about the gun.

Instead of the rammer on this you might do better with optics, but if the gun is important in your play you might prefer the rammer.

That should be a great tank, and get better with crew skills - clutch braking, etc.

You know now that you sold the E100 it'll end up getting buffed again next patch.

The Heavy metal weekends..and specials are those every weekend?

Randomly dispersed?

 

[PowerYoga]

depends. Check the event calendars, there's usually some little things going on here and there.

 

[Possessed Freak]

2 things:

1) I LOVE my JPE100. Averaging 3700 damage per game. I think it is because I love large alpha tanks. I also know how to stay alive during the reload to shoot again!

2) I picked up a kolobolobolovs last night. It was pretty comical, we were defending on earlinburg and I was the last tank alive in my 50b. I was down to 400 HP and I began to run for 1.5 minutes. It was like something out of Saving Private Ryan. I was dodging between building, turning corners, everything I could do. 2 batchat arty unloaded all their rounds and miss me, 2 tier 10's sniping me and missing, another arty missed me. I drew out the clock and won it for our team. For my 1.2k exp game, I picked up the ultimate medal!

 

[PowerYoga]

nice, kobolovs are hard to get. I think I have one on my mini-maus for killing 12 tanks.

 

[Craig234]

Do you mean Kolobanov? I have one of those, got it recently. Hm, which tank... I'll look.

My GW Tiger.

I think they said 'heavy metal' are each weekend in August, for each nation. Sales are usually weekends, but it's sometimes other times.

 

[Magusigne]

Also, do we have an AT clan? LOL...I know there was a chat channel burried somewhere in here (I think I posted about it on page 2 of this long thread)

The JPigE100 is crap compared to what it was in beta. But from seeing some of the posts on the forums it will probably get buffed and tweaked some. So far it's one of if not the most underperforming new tank that they added. So if you like it now.... :thumbsup:
