Bob A Feet posted:Any good write ups to convince me not to buy the premiums? I honestly wouldn't recommend buying it. Full price for a T8 premium without preferential MM...no thanks. If you need a German medium crew trainer, buy a T-25 or spring for a Warcrime while they're on sale. Sure, the T-25 sees T7s like a normal T5, but it's more easily handled than seeing T9s and 10s, kind of like playing a T-34 with the 76mm. I also kind of have to agree with ~he who must not be named~ that the Panther 88 seems kind of like a 'trap tank' since only the supertesters got to try it out before it was put in the shop, and those who didn't get the 907 (or just Wehraboos with a fetish for being penetrated by large Slavic, French, and American loads) might be tempted to buy 'the new premium' just to feel special, without doing their homework first. 4775g for both the Warcrime and T-25, but honestly 750g for just the T-25 is the better deal, since you *really* have to pack a ton of gold in the Warcrime to be viable against other T7s and 8s. Don't even bother asking about the PzIV Schmallturm. =/ BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Dec 25, 2014 |

It's a Panther that's been altered cosmetically to loosely resemble an M10 tank destroyer. The Nazis did it during the Ardennes Offensive because Hitler thought it'd be effective to run a bunch of working Panthers (an oxymoron if I've ever heard one) around behind enemy lines to stir ~confusion~ amongst the Allies by staging harassment attacks when they would've been more effective just serving normal duty on the front. That's against the ~rules of war~ that no one ever follows (since they all think they're going to win), hence why it's called a Warcrime Panther.

Thanks everyone, I knew the background of the Panther/M10 just didn't connect the clever and amusing nickname. Is the Churchill GC worth bothering with? I am trying to eventually do all [or maybe almost all] the tank lines as a long term goal but that one is a lot of xp for a pointless diversion that seems to be a disliked tank.

And for gameplay context, the Warcrime is as mobile as the Panther, but only has the 7.5cm L/70 gun rather than the 100, however gets tier 7 pref matchmaking to make up for it

This is pretty much all you need to see to know the Double Hitler Panther isn't worth it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEUK4gbJaUI "This is such a great tank it's got the HP of a heavy and it's pretty fast and blah blah hurrity blah here's a bunch of images of it killing things in rehearsed 1v1s but never being shot at itself *three minutes in* this tank doesn't have preferential matchmaking but HEY that's okay, just shoot tracks, give your crew TD-helping camo-heavy skills, and carry 15 APCR rounds or something gently caress you give us money."

It fires faster, too, one shot every 3 seconds instead of 4. If you stock liberal amounts of APCR and don't try to shove your way to the front lines, it's fun. Most fun I had in it was during Historicals though, shame those are gone.

It would be a pretty decent tier 5, though one with a lot of glaring weaknesses. e: the Valentine AT is fine with the derp, the Alecto is extremely good with the derp, and the AT-2 is extremely good without the derp (please do not use the derp on the AT-2). Here's how the AT-8 compares with the ChurchillGC: when the line was released, there was an event. The top 100 players who got the most base XP in a single battle would receive gold, with the top 3 getting fancy tanks. The highest, the absolutely highest xp game EVER for the Churchill GC during that event, would not have been enough to receive gold in the AT-8.

wait. Did you, Hellsau, just call the Churchill GC a "pretty decent tier 5"? Its such a bad tank. I don't have the time to write out fully why its so bad, but just know that everyone should never ever attempt driving a churchill GC.

The Churchill GC also will make you a priority target as it's one of the rarest tanks in the game, and pretty much EVERY pubbie needs it for Master Tanker and the UK kills medal.

I am trying to eventually do all [or maybe almost all] the tank lines as a long term goal but that one is a lot of xp for a pointless diversion that seems to be a disliked tank. It's a painful tank. If you must get it, get it after you already have the top gun, radio, engines, and AT 7 researched. Free XP the tracks, fully kit it out, and then you can relatively painlessly grind through the second gun. Edit: For those of you that don't know, the CGC and the AT 8 both unlock the same tank. I ultimately decided it would be less painful go through the AT-8 and grind something like 100kxp than it would be to get that last 25kxp in a fully upgraded CGC.

He's being facetious, every tank he mentioned is so bad that it would be average at one tier lower. CGC is 6, Lee/Valentine are 4s, Lowe is 8. Actually the Lowe is arguable but good lord it should have preferential MM. If you took a KT and gave it shittier armor and made it significantly slower you'd get a Lowe. It's almost Maus slow.

I've been getting the itch to do that poo poo again since the campaign, tier 8s are really fun and I have fond memories of getting yelled at by you.

I don't know what's worse, the top tier IS-6 who sat in the back corner doing loving nothing and then messaged me to say 'look at the stats kid I did more than you  ' after he got a grand total of 750 damage in it, or the theoretically green E-100 base camp sniping malinovka and telling people they were idiots for going hill and that he was going to have to carry us, when the tanks that went hill did about 75% of the total damage between them trying to deal with basically the entire team hiding in the forest.I know what's worse, both times I was in my stock STA-1 and had my only tier 8 game in 5 attempts ruined by one, and got a lovely daily in one of the 4 tier 10 battles I got in the other.

It's a 112 without a fuel tank located front and center, with a nastier IS-3-like pike up front, shooting a lovely D-25T variant that has HEAT instead of APCR. It also moves more like a medium than a heavy.

A pubbie got mad at me last night - he did the standard PM and ignore, but I had time to thank him for his sarcastic comments before he closed the chat window. Evidently this gnawed at him, because about an hour later he unignored me and messaged me again with the excellent comeback he had been thinking up ("learn to play, kid") before ignoring me again. I think that means I won.

McGavin posted:Yeah, but the Valentine is that bad upgraded. A fully upgraded tier 4 tank with less DPM than the majority of tier 2 tanks is just shameful. It's very easy to fix the Valentine but because it's on the British line I don't expect WG even know it needs fixing. Up the RoF on the six pounder and 75mm a bit to get the DPM in line with other tier 4's and put in the historically accurate 210bhp engine in that was in the Valentine with the 75mm.

I think the biggest complaint against the lowe is, as Hellsau said, its speed. I was once climbing a hill next a MAUS with my Lowe, and we were neck and neck. Both just as painfully slow. I would pay  to have a better engine on the Lowe. Its top speed is great.. Its the horsepower to weight ratio that is awful i think.Other than that, the Lowe is a great tank. Back when I bought it, it was awesome. I am not sure if it is still worth its current price tho(its still 50$ right?)
