Then match making must be kind for you. I can go days playing and have my name show up in the bottom 4 of the team list at start which means even in a maxxed out vehicle anything other than track or rear hits won't do anything.

i've found hitting the very top of the tracks when head on, will track + damage most of the time. side shots hitting the front sprocket will track + damage also.
I've done a complete 180. I now include 4 gold rounds as part of my loadout. It's been a huge game changer for me in a couple rounds. I did have 3 bounce off an IS-3, but it happens from time to time. 3500 more and I'll have the 105 mm gun on the T25-AT.
Anyone had the pleasure of the German Heavy tank grind to the E100?Hows it fair compared to Russian Heavy?I know the E100 gun itself has better pen+damage but overall playability how is it?I hear the 130mm on the IS-7 bounces a bit and stats do show slightly less pen over the BL-9 122 from the IS-8.
Currently sitting with the D.W.2,this thing is beyond painful.I stopped grinding it a bit back but decided to punish myself assuming the grind ends well.
There is no reason to not put more premium rounds in tanks. If you don't use em, you save the credits, if you need them... you have them. The only time you have to be careful with loadout is when you burn through your default ammo quickly (low total ammo count) and you shoot premium rounds at tanks that it is overkill on.
The other exception is when the premium shell is HEAT and that may not be an advantage. This happens a lot with top tier medium/lights. A Batchat's default round is APCR, the premium shell is HEAT. If you are shooting HEAT at spaced armor/tracks then it has a great chance to do nothing.

I don't want to load out more than 4 because I'll use them and start losing money.
The IS7 gun is probably one of the worst guns out of the tier 10 guns comparatively. That's not to say it's terrible, but it's overall lackluster and really requires aiming. It's a brawling gun on a tank that really shouldn't brawl too much (the pike armor loses effectiveness with angle and the IS7 is most effective hulled down and the side armor is shit). It was a decent gun back when it was on the IS4 but it's not great on the IS7.

Haven't gone through the new german heavy line but the tiger 1 and 2 both play as snipers, while the E75 is intimidating and a great brawler. (the gun sucks at long distance)
You don't worry about money when you shoot premium rounds, you shoot them because you want to win.
The IS8 is basically a big medium with a great gun, but the armor is shit at the tier. The gun is really good though but I sold it, didn't like the whole "heavy as a medium" thing.
A bit off topic, I use Aslains modpack, not all of it, but I would really like my WIN8 AFTER a battle, I watch Quickybaby's vids and he has it in th after game stats so I know its a mod, anybody have any idea what it is? Is it in Aslians pack and I am not just turning it on, or is there some pack i can install?
I have (in pubs) gave up on anything but doing my best and trying to improve, dang monkey squads can be so frustrating, trying to improve as im middle of the pack player but when matches are over in 4 minutes or teams lemming train and then stall when they (7-8 tanks) hit 1-2 dug in ones and they don't overwhelm um.. Man I love the game, but it can frustrate the hell out of you when you see 22K games played player and a win8 of 224 and they are top tier tank on your side.
I previously used the vanilla version of this mod http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index....sen-coloured-messages-session-statistics-eng/
Works great and gives you all the info you need. However I found after uninstalling XVM and session stat mods I started to do a lot better and win more games.
The bonus to winning is significantly better than the bonus of damage and losing.I shoot them to get a decent score so i can upgrade my gun, whether my team is winning or losing. More damage = higher score = more exp.
