OMC modpack is the big one right now and some people use Aslain's

Cool thanks, OMC was the one I couldn't remember.

Also one good thing about not having the motivation to grind out a WZ-111 is that I can buy tokens for the gold and not accidentally have them turn into an internet tank.

I did it, guys. I peeked behind the pubbie curtain and I am not sure I will ever be the same.

Tier 8 game in my IS-2. My team full of retards sends 1 tank to the west side of Erlenberg, so I hold back and try to cover him as best I can. I get a few shots off and get run over by 4 or 5 tier 8s. Meanwhile our 43% Super Pershing is running his dickhole about how bad I am for dying early. He goes from the mid map and backs literally to the K line and dies last. And of course, he did zero damage. So I had to compliment him on his skills. Below is our full chat. I am still in awe.

The maus was good when it could fight tier 3s

unless it was the last tank remaining and other tanks would just swarm it and lock it in place and it couldnt aim down enough to kill them while someone else capped the base

It's a great tank, but it has no armor so you can't get shot. Play some heavies for a while and then come back to it.

playing heavies is what got me into these bad habits to begin with!

The 30.02M isn't actually bad, it's just completely overshadowed by the other T6 mediums. The Easy Eight has even better gun handling and depression plus sicknasty DPM, the Cromwell is super fast and the T-34-85 is a better generalist. The 3002M is just kinda bumbling and fat and doesn't readily lend itself to the kind of hypercarry games the others are capable of. I sold it (kept the other three, although in their premium incarnations).

the 3002M has really good penetration and accuracy on a mobile platform and is better at putting shots on target at any sort of range beyond "close". the e8's gun handling is only better until you get to a range where the m1a2 accuracy starts really hurting, and the cromwell's gun handling can charitably be described as subpar. the t-34-85 is overpowered anyways

The 3002 D is a great tank with a very expensive silver shell and no gold shell.

i should clarify that most of my 3002db grind was done without premium so running a full gold 88mm wasn't an option

I really don't understand the amerigoon hardon for the Comet. It's a thoroughly mediocre tank that in many ways is worse than the Cromwell. It has a lower top speed, lower HP/ton ratio and higher ground resistance so it's a lot more sluggish. What you gain in exchange is seventy-five (75) more DPM, a turret that very occasionally may bounce a thing, a few degrees of gun depression and gun handling that isn't the garbage the Cromwell has (still not super impressive, though). It plays sort of like the Easy Eight except one tier higher, which kinda sounds cool but it really isn't.

All of the T7 mediums I've played so far have been pretty unimpressive (except the T20, which was pretty cool albeit hampered by its abysmal DPM) and the Comet really doesn't stand out in any way at all. I elited it, sold it and didn't buy the Centurion.

Meanwhile I have a >70% win rate in the Cromwell B.

agreed, the pershing is also in many ways worse than the t20
