it will just be a new form of pita. I watched videos posted by unicums on YouTube and i guess i will not play the game much more.

You are welcome to make that choice. But with the games I have played with the revised arty, I feel no need to constantly hide in Tier 10 games that have arty. Also, many of the videos on youtube are putting out some incorrect information. One of the ones I have seen that is correct is from DezGaming.

[gammaray]

more changes that do not address, arty, tiny and insufficient maps and their bad corridors design, complete noobs matched up against pros all the times which most of the matches now ending 15-6 or worse, useless armor on hvy tanks, etc.

also i find it funny after 5 years they decide to buff the T95 speed to 20kmh, roll eyes...

 

[microAmp]

Speed buffs to the British MTs will be nice. I can't stand the FV4202 speed when I play it and don't play it much because of it.
Look forward to the Maus armor buff, wonder how much that extra 20mm or so will help. Angled correctly, I remember getting non-pens on HEAT rounds from MTs, like T-54 and a tier 10 one.
I wonder if the pen buff on E-100 will be worthy. I'm a HEAT whore when I use that tank during the initial brawling of HTs.

 

[Craig234]

t110e5 armor nerf...

 

[biostud]

just finished t28 prototype, which I really liked, and now playing t30 which is very different. What modules do you use?

Found out it is not for brawling, but medium range sniper.

Is the t110e4 anything like the t28 prototype?

I didn't play the T28 proto, but the E4 has good armor and a turret with 180 degree rotation. It brawls well in front of it, but not with things that can circle it.

 

[microAmp]

I played the T30 just like a T29, T32, M103 and T110E5. Make use of it's hull down turret armor.

Rammer, GLD, Vents was my choice.

 

[Craig234]

Oh, on the E4 I use net, vents, rammer.

 

[Craig234]

I found the T30 better as a sniper as I recall, that it's killed fast otherwise.

Hull down might be good, but not always an option.

Play the T30 like a T29/T32/T34. They all have meh hull armor, but amazing turrets from the front. So very good for hull down. But be aware that the commanders hatch on the T30 is a weak spot. If you can't be hull down, then play the support roll. Be behind the heavies, and sneak in your shots where you can.

The T110E4 does not have a turret that can fully rotate, it goes 90 degrees to each side, and is slow. The front of the turret is not spectacular, but if you angle it after shots its much better (similar to an E100 or Maus). It does have better speed and maneuverability. Even after the upcoming buff for the T28/T28proto/T95.

I've been waiting a long time to buy the T110E4. Been able to buy it for quite a while but also been waiting for an On Track (Top of the Tree) for it, so I can save 30%. I was even disappointed during the Christmas time when no tier 10s were on sale, at least for NA server.

Yesterday I did pick up Obj. 263 Russian TD and two weeks ago, GW E-100 SPG, both 30% discount.

 

[VenomXTF]

Decided to play 907 since they made it HD, going for 3 marks while streaming:

 

[Craig234]

Good luck. I think it took 7 battles in my AMX 30 prot tonight to get a win.

 

[biostud]

Doing really poorly in my T30 w/r 36%

 

[Craig234]

Doing really poorly in my T30 w/r 36%

It's a tricky tank to play well. As I recall, play it as a sniper - some like to brawl with it, I disagree.

 

[biostud]

If I try to stay back and snipe it usually ends with my team being overrun, if I follow heavies I die along with the heavies. Maybe I just have been matched with bad players. I switched vents with camouflage, seems to help somewhat. So I will try to keep sniping, medium range.

 

[biostud]

Going a little better in the T30 using Camo. Trying to keep the distance to enemies around viewing range and lots of cover.

]Good to hear. I think it's nice for damage and not getting shot. Just got a new PC playing with max graphics, and the game is a bit prettier.

 

[Stuka87]

I have gone back to try and improve my Tiger stats (was my first heavy ever, so they are rubbish). I forgot how much I love playing this tank, especially with the buffed mantlet armor, it really does help. Also getting pretty decent with my VK100.01P.

 

[Stuka87]

FINALLY there is an on-track for the E50M, so I now own an E50M

 

[mooncancook]

I don't seem to see the news for on-track event anymore, I have no idea which is currently on sale...

 

[Craig234]

Great tank.

 

[biostud]

didn't the e50m got a better gun with more pen and depression, but lost a lot of armor?
