The last one would actually be kinda cool, since you will only get it in a tense game with just a few players left. It basically means you will fight your way to the enemy cap, go back and stop cappers at your base and then wipe out the few final enemy tanks.

Eh, it's kinda poo poo. If you're a good player and have a variety of good Tier 10 tanks, sure.

I still slum it mostly in T6-8 and probably only average my tanks HP worth of damage on a typical day, so this is pretty out of reach. The bottom tier MM full of TDs and damage farming/chai sniping is going to be through the roof. $2 to save my sanity (if I even buy the drat thing after this is over) is a small price to pay.

Not available on EU server because *reasons*. I have more than enough vehicles which are theoretically capable of making the mission as easy as breathing, but RNG and lovely MM just seems to have a field day in delaying the process and making it as miserable as possible.

New Tier 8 Premium Soviet Heavy Tank Tank Destroyer coming soon to Supertest; the T-103.

Armor's poo poo, but it's turreted. 258 pen / 307 gold with 440 average damage. 10.2s reload time, 0.36 dispersion, 2.3s aim time. 40km/h top speed, 380m view range.
For comparison: 50 less damage but 12 more standard pen vs the Skorpion G; slightly faster-firing but slightly worse handling.

Well the SU-101 looks like even more of a piece of poo poo compared to that. Same gun but more accurate and faster firing, 1250 HP instead of 990, and a turret? gently caress off Wargaming. This thing gets 2.3s aim time, the SU-101 has 3.1s. Maybe the bloom values are horrible or the tank is a slug, but Christ that's an absurd amount of upside compared to the SU-101's higher top speed.

Supposedly it's an early version of what became the SU-100Y, which explains the 130mm gun, so I'm pulling out of my rear end guessing that it'll have similar or worse values.

Hahahaha who am I kidding it's Wargaming it'll be a drag racer that doesn't lose any aim while on the move

1946 damage in my M-44. Why, God, why? :negative:

E: Also, even though this is the closest I've come to 2k in my M-44 it should be noted only 1 shot was overhead, the rest I got sick of playing in a city and having no shots so I drove around and direct fired at people at point blank range. So I'm really not getting any better at arty.

Tiger 2 progress was made. Thanks for the sage advice, though a lot of it I feel should really be common sense (trading, getting at least your HP out in damage, etc.) that I try to apply regularly but it's still good to hammer home. I noticed a huuuuge improvement after getting the upgraded turret and am doing even better with the short 105 despite hearing it's worse than the 88.

M44 is so much better than the M12, at least in my experience. I sucked for a long time with any arty until I got a feeling for each map. You need to know where to go to get good firing lines and that only really comes from experience (and changes with different artillery pieces with different arcs). Next, you gotta get inside the mind of the pubbie on how they will move. Then, you learn to abuse the gently caress out of that HEAT round. Do that while you can, AP rounds will be going away from arty soon too.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
I essentially held an entire flank with just an SU100Y doing nothing next to me, did my best to mop up when we were FIVE tanks up against a single Steyr WT. Found the Steyr, took him down to 200hp before he killed me, and then my remaining four teammates decided to hand him the win by being colossally incompetent.

They were, however, so colossally incompetent, that they managed to turn it into a draw. Our Pz38nA had fallen over on his side, and our M41 drove across the entire map, and then proceeded to fail to upright him in no less than THREE minutes.

Almost ran out of ammo once again.

I do this sometimes when in city maps like Westwind or whatever the gently caress it is where everyone fights over the hill. I pick a group and just roll down city streets and usually net myself three or four before my team mates bugger off and leave me behind

Well, that's just like the Derp on the KV-2. Yeah, it's fun as gently caress, but the Zis works better, faster, and more accurate. I get better kill rates with it than either of the other two guns, half the time because some pubbie doesn't know the difference between guns and thinks he has a 20 second reload to get me. The derp is just a gently caress around gun for those days you don't give a poo poo and want to ruin someone's day with HE

The thing with the 107 on the KV-2 is that if you're going to use the 107 on the KV-2, then why the hell aren't you driving a T-150, which is a much better platform for that gun? Use the derp.

Using the 105 on the Tiger 2 is much more akin to using the 105 on the T29, and many of the same arguments apply, except the 88 has comparable pen to the 105.

Just use the 105, the slight increase in DPM (in both cases) isn't really significant in ordinary play, where tanks generally aren't just trading shots as fast as they can reload.

I don't think the short 105 on the tiger 2 is even close to being analogous to the derp on the KV2... You sacrifice a few extra seconds on reload, a marginal decrease in accuracy, and a negligible loss of (standard) pen for 80 more alpha. Obviously the long 105 is straight up better, but the short offers similar performance to the 88, but without the need to spend as much face time with the enemy to deal the same damage.

Abandon the hills, use the city north of spawn to spot them as they push spawn, use the bushes on the east to hide your tds. That is a huge open slope they have to push down. Also win the south.
