Don't worry, those tanks will be pushed up a BR or two soon enough. Can't let anything threaten Germany

Germany 5.7 is good though, and the Panther A that sits on 5.7 is widely regarded as one of the best tanks tier-for-tier in the game.

Anyone have tips for the US naval lineup at 5.0? I gave up on the destroyers after too many matchups where I literally just couldn't do anything with my 5" guns against teams full of CAs. I thought the Omaha class CLs would be an improvement but I still feel like I'm just tickling other ships, even other CLs, while firing AP shells at them. I don't know if there's a specific range band to maximize plunging fire penetration or what with these.

Sometimes it's inevitable (especially with some of the god awful maps and gametypes), but unless the cruiser is otherwise distracted or outnumbered your best option is often to pop smoke and flee, potentially dumping a spread of torpedoes if in range. The Omahas are... not great, but they do have advantages. Depending on the map, usually your best option is going to be to use your speed to get behind other friendly cruisers to avoid getting hit, and try to sail towards areas where you can hunt down enemy destroyers. Also, you've got a boatload of torps, so make sure to use them when you can. Also, try to aim for enemy turrets. Knocking out a turret or two can effectively cripple an enemy ship and is a huge advantage in a gunfight. And if an enemy ship seems like it's too heavily armored and you're not going enough damage, there's no shame in shifting targets towards something you can hurt. But even the lightest cruisers can take a while to wear down, especially with 6" fire, so just keep aiming for those critical systems and make sure you're getting consistent hits.

For CARB I'd honestly still say the Ru 251; it's pretty hard to have a bad game in once you get a feel for it and it just prints money on the wins which are relatively steady. Back that up with the Me410 R/3 and whatever premium fighter you want at 6.7 (P-47, La-5, etc) and you'll be pretty solidly profitable. I don't really like playing lower tiers than that anymore tho so there may be something lower that's more positively skewed. Mazz fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Feb 10, 2021 |

Ru251 is amazing. For air RB, The F-89D is stupid expensive, but basically a license to print SL. The F-89B is really good as well, but you have to be more even more circumspect when flying it. Both of them are just loving unfair when top tier. I also have the G.91 R/4 which is amazing but far more frequently up-tiered, so you often end up without the tactical mobility to be where the fights are.

Alchenar posted:Here's one for the thread: In TYOOL 2021, what's the hotness for SL grinding? Stupidly boring, but Air AB with as many Swedish BR4-ish fighters as you have slots for; all 3 non jet J/A21's, a J22 and the Justang. It's quite possible to make 100k sl gross per win. Bung in one of those 5 kills per battle wagers and that's another easy 100k sl gross per 3 battles. I haven't tracked profit on this, but a full lineup of BR4-ish US fighters loaded for lawnmowing in air AB can reap a good profit. Ditto for an All The Sturmoviks loadout for USSR Air AB.

As time is running out, what is everyone's thought on purchasing the battle pass? I'm > lvl 75 so I would get the T-10A if I purchase it now and I would be fine with the 2000 GE price tag but I heard the T-10A is absolute god awful garbage. Does anyone see a chance that the Snail will buff the T-10A anytime soon to a state where it isn't garbage? It would be my only 7.7 tank for Russia, my next one is the 4.7 premium T-34-57 (1943). Thoughts? Has anyone played the T-10A and can comment on it's actual performance?

From what I've seen people say, the claims that the T-10A is garbage are overstated. It's probably still worth getting in on the BP if you're level 75 since it will also means getting all the other rewards, and the vehicle and camo coupons will probably help you recoup the cost of the GE anyway.

I bought the battle pass after hitting 75 with the sole intention of selling the tank for gaijinbucks, because I figure the chances of at least breaking even are pretty good. Getting the rest of the rewards also netted about 2M SL and more 200%/300% boosters than I could actually even use before they expired.

You have to pick them up manually but I don't know what happens to any unclaimed ones once the pass expires. You also need to pick them up in order or something like that.

Oh okay, thanks. That's the way it was when I realized I had to manually click on the finished challenges to get the bonus. It's not ideal but it's better than getting everything at once.

T-10A makes money at least for me so far but it's pretty bad in an uptier. I don't have much experience with Russian heavies beyond the IS-2 but it's in that line of tonkplay. Long reload time, relatively mobile for a heavy and armor at a BR that doesn't care about armor anymore 'cos HEAT/AFPDS lolpen everything. If you have Golden lions to spare, you can easily recoup the BattlePass cost by selling the vehicles + camos.

Do keep in mind that if you buy into the pass with the intent to sell the vehicle coupons they get placed on a cooldown until being sellable same as the length of the battlepass, so you're looking at them sitting in your inventory for 75 days before you can put them up on the marketplace. Given that they're fairly easy to get and that supply will trickle in over time from people who unlocked them over the course of the pass you're going to miss out on early price flunctuations.

It's better than the IS-4M, gets a vertical stabilizer good up to 20+kph (odd), faster reload than IS-4M, the better IS-3 armor without the shot trap. For a heavy at 7.7, it's pretty good.

A question, because I keep seeing answers in both directions by googling: Let's say I buy a 3D decoration. A bush, or maybe Phlydaily's Baby Tigor. Do I get one (1) bush that I can use once, or do I get infinity bushes and Tigors, of which I can put one on each of my tanks?

The latter. You can put it on as many tanks as you like, but you can only put it on each tank once. (Or twice, for bushes, I believe.)

That's surprisingly generous, considering this is the game where backup vehicles are consumables you have to buy with real money. That was a fun trap to fall into.

You can get backups for free from the war bond shop, for relatively cheap. The real pay-to-win is crew skills.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:That's surprisingly generous, considering this is the game where backup vehicles are consumables you have to buy with real money. Ahh well you see, the ruse here is that bushes came in stacks of five when they first got added so while it's "generous" it is definitely an area that many people complain about. I believe that anyone who bought them a while back can still place all five and become a mobile artillery shrub. e: I don't even play tanks, but not buying those bushes is one of my biggest regrets in this game. e2: I may be slightly wrong though, they may still be limited to the same number of bushes as anyone else while the advantage is that they can place multiples of the largest ones. Dunno, I don't play tanks. Teeter fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Feb 12, 2021 |

Free food for other cruisers. Honestly just get the Brooklyn ASAP. It's extremely good. Then segue to getting the Nawlins and you're set.

Yeah, I think I've reached the limits of my masochism. 3k XP per 15 minute game of accomplishing virtually nothing. That's 20 more matches if I want just the Atlanta, which inexplicably has worse guns at a higher BR. I can see why the Baltimore is $50.

The Atlanta is honestly really fun, it's got an absolute bonanza of 5" guns and they all load extremely quickly. Once you get them on target, you can just lay down a constant stream of punishment on enemy ships or just obliterate destroyers. I had a really good time with it.

punishedkissinger posted:tboughts on the p-39 series? One of the few fighters in the US tech tree that can actually turn fight. Decent power down low, but also a really low critical altitude. If you can git gud with the 37mm you can be a real terror. The earlier (lower BR) versions are more competitive than the later ones in my opinion, just due to what you’ll be up against. Also unlocks the P-63, which is everything about the P-39 turned up to 11. Plane is good, just don’t go up above 8000ft and expect to fight 109s. Drag everything down to 2000ft, burn their energy, and club them to death.
