What skill/perks are your crew using? Apparently we have to start taking that into consideration now too when it comes to performance in some ways.
Well I got the T30 finally, I have to say it's quite a change from the T28 Proto. Faster and a much bigger gun but squishier in some ways. So it's been a learning experience. With the Proto I could go and bully tanks and use that good rate of fire to just melt them down while bouncing a lot.
The T30 gets some huge numbers on hits though, great gun with a little wonkiness to it but I'm still getting my crew to 100%. At like 94% now. So I'll with hold judgement on it until I'm maxed again in that regard.
I will say melting down tanks in 2 hits is amazingly fun or even hitting some big ones in one hit is fun too. A poor KV-3 popped out and got one shotted with a solid side hit to him while an M103 learned to fear the doomcannon as well.
I'm just playing poorly with it though because it kind of tricks you into playing it like a heavy tank where you get chewed up by the rest of the faster firing better armored tanks in the game. But I'm learning to stay back and do what it does best, put the fear of God into other tanks and keeping them back.
I have also been told not to load AP in clan wars in my 261.
Eh, what's the point of bringing a 261 then? It has by far the worst splash radius, even with gold ammo. If not for AP, your damage output sucks. Your arty slot would be better filled by a different vehicle. 261s shine in role of teammates track tank, 261 fucks him. The lame splash means you'll have a hard time hitting multiple targets T92-style & you can't nuke guys behind cover w/epic splash.
That said we usually only bring 261s when we don't have access to T92s or TypeEs. My clan leaders love splash I guess. But I'm always happy to have one particular clanmate's 261 in my platoon b/c he kicks ass in it.
The fact that a 261 aims faster, reloads 20 seconds faster and is 50% more accurate than a T92 is a good reason to bring one along. Not every situation requires you to catapult a house at your enemies.
With that in mind, I'm thinking I might go up a second arty line. Should I go American or German? Don't they plan on putting in french arty at some point? Maybe I should just wait if thats true.
I hated my hummel, so not sure why people like it.

I wonder if part of the reason is because it can double as a TD? I see a lot of Hummel players use it as a TD. Seen quite a few do decently at it even though I think it is a wasted use of a SPG. I don't play arty though. Never have. Never have figured out why arty players do some of the things they do.

A fully upgraded Luchs is a blast to play. 10-15K credit games are the norm. Can't wait to get the Leopard now
We use the 261 as the finisher. The sloppy seconds. While I can and do hit full tanks, I am normally tasked to find targets of opportunity and finish them off.
