Grinding to a Clan Wars tank (list shamelessly The following tanks are in demand for Clan Wars: T57, AMX 50B, Batchat 25t, E-100, Object 140, Leopard 1, STB-1 The following tanks are in demand, but in lesser numbers: Object 263, T110E3, Waffentrager auf E-100, FV215b, IS-7, T-62A, Object 907, T110E5, E-50M, Object 261, M53/M55, Conqueror GC (good artillery players are extremely valuable) The following tanks are okay: T110E4, VK7201, Object 430, 121, GW Type E The following tanks are shameful and should never take part in Clan Wars: JpE-100, Maus, IS-4, FV4202, 113, M60, M48 Patton, FV215 183, Batchat 155, T92, Foch155, Object 268, FV4005 By lesser numbers, I mean that the tanks are either reserved for specific purposes, or you literally use fewer of them like E3s and arti. The 215b, E5, IS-7 and E50M are basically interchangeable, and the non-140 Russian mediums have different strengths. Don't bring Mauses or IS-4s except against shitters. They are "armored" versions of the E100 and IS-7, except they are significantly easier to pen by people who aren't awful. I've crushed way too many IS-4s simply because they have horrific front armor and are slower and less sloped than the IS-7, and the Maus is solely an ignorable HP brick. The J100 might deserve a promotion. Is the 430 irrelevant now or am I overestimating the 907's armor?

Welp brought the 907 out, got Steppes, was teamkilled almost immediately by people trying to steal a kill. Good times.Snakes in a can posted:holy crap the ammo rack is soft on the 907, been ammo racked 4/5 games so far and died twice to ammo rack explosion. Is that with Safe Stowage? Because you should always have Safe Stowage on almost every crew, specially Russian ones.

KurdtLives posted: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. 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.

Saint Celestine posted:wait. I think the Valentine and the M3 Lees would make for pretty good tier 3s. I think the FV183 and 113 are some of the best tier nine tanks available. I don't get why everyone complains about the Lowe - sure its slow but that gun at tier 7 is killer. e: serious for a second I would kill for a tier six Chi-Ri.

WayAbvPar posted:Played a match on Fjords from the north in my IS-2. Pushed around the corner and wiped out what was left of the south team's heavies, and was heading through the town by the water to mop up when I was shot by a Dicker Max from arty island. I laughed in chat at the camping shitlord who didn't fire a shot until the game was decided, and apparently I touched a nerve, since I got the following tear-stained missive via the official forums- That dude had PLENTY of places covered: His teammate's corpses on the south peninsula, his teammate's corpses in the center of the map, his teammate's corpses in the northeast, and the eastern AND southern redlines! Plus he can teamkill his artillery at any moment. Please never snipe from there, guys. Go up north to support them, go center to support there, go to wherever you can shoot westward down the F line, or hell just sit in the buildings in case you see an opening. You can always turn back and get into your lovely camping spot later in the match. You don't need to be there, doing nothing for eight minutes while your team begs you to be useful.

NTRabbit posted:But what to buy though? I currently have 2.1 million credits, and have unlocked and not yet bought In order: M41 T54E1 M53 That will give you one of the best tanks with tier eight matchmaking, one of the best tier nines, and a CW viable artillery and also will make Dandy happy. Wait until Tuesday for 30% off US tier sevens to get the M41 on sale. Also keep the T37 for strongholds. Seriously everyone should get the Chaffee, T37 and M41. All three are very fun and range from strong to overpowered.

Did the VStab get taken away? I thought the Chaffee could still use it, and that's why it's so good. Always use VStab is available. Always use Rammer if available. Always use Optics if your view range is considerably higher than your tiermates. Every other piece of equipment has either a very minor effect or is extremely niche.

Zanziabar posted:First match in the chaffee. What a hilarious little tank. If the T37 & Bulldog are like this then I should thoroughly enjoy them. The tier five Chaffee right now? It's better than the old Chaffee was. Trading some pen and HP for a massive mobility increase is totally worth it. The T37 is laughably better than the old Chaffee. It is incredible and it turns tier six Strongholds into insane T37 pub stomps. The M41 is probably 50 to 100 HP short of being better than the tier eight lights. It is fabulous. Note - all three of these tanks get better matchmaking than the old Chaffee. The old Chaffee was very good - and all three of these are better with softer matchmaking? Yes please. Hopefully Wargaming don't chicken out and nerf them - if all the other lights were buffed to this level the game would be better for it.

JuffoWup posted:How the gently caress do you play campnovika anymore? The old rule was hill or bust. But it seems like anymore on south, it is drown or bust because half your loving team will suicide themselves to kill the lone medium that ran to k3. Meanwhile, the hill isn't very conducive to any kind of fighting either making it pointless. The best place I have found is the magic bushes by the waterway and just snipe it up. That would be grand, but absolutely the worst place to be in a russian heavy tank. East spawn pulls back east and waits for their idiots to try to cap. Attempt to dissuade your pubbies from going into the buildings because they'll just get spotted from K3. Instead, suggest they pull back eastward and wait for the enemy to try to cap, and shoot them in the open. Of course every time I'm in a position to go to K3, their tanks are literally allowed to broadside my spawn, sitting straight in the field, while shooting me in the butt. My teammates will hide from those tanks, because spotted enemy tanks might shoot back!

Mesadoram posted:OTTER is rolling forth a new initiative to be a more "friendly" clan. I had a feeling this was coming after we Uh, that's not going to succeed. The reason good players hate pubbie scum is because pubbies do not want to improve. Seriously, just go into a Stronghold battle and explain to them why their strategy failed. Be courteous and polite. The pubbies will just call you f-words and n-words and refuse to accept your help. Sure, be polite to UGKB or -FU- or VILIN and the other scrub clans that actually try to improve, but you won't get very far. There are far too many FURREs and ARMEDs and nationalist clans who strongly resist advice to make a dent in the playerbase. The reason the game feels like it's dying is not because of the good players chasing away the bads, it's the bad players chasing away the people who actually try. It isn't just the purples who get pissed at the scum. When I get a 5k damage loss due to my teammates idiocy, I'm mad that my lovely teammates wasted five minutes of my effort. When some green dude loses a 5k damage game (not damage farming), his teammates lost his best ever game. That is much more impactful.

The enemy team being just full of terribles though do inane things that collectively get the amazing team killed because it was unexpected. Also, if you have a team of amazing players, someone has to sacrifice themselves for spotting since you don't have the idiots to do it willingly for you in a normal team make up. Was he firing HE or was he cosplaying as a ISU-122?
