My first Top Gun with this kitty so far...
I find that I'm doing much better with the Tiger I now than I did in my previous account, where I only saw the Tiger I as a stepping stone to the Tiger II. I find that my time playing medium tanks and the T20 has allowed me to grasp the Tiger II's playstyle better, and so far I've been doing quite well with this tank. Still need to get the top engine and tracks though, since I went for the gun first.

Of course, the aim sucks, you get only 4 crews and angling on this puppy is very difficult due to its unique shape. Oh, and please don't try to ram a KT with this. - Tak

Unlike their German counterparts, which remain at a steady 30 kph (or 28 in case of the KT), IS tanks only go faster, and faster, and faster as the tier progresses... - Tak

My session tonight finished in the decently-positive winrate range and some good MUP platoon work.
It started out really aggravating, though, with this Hetzer game that had 10-year-old-level trash talk for the entire fifteen minutes, the last eight of which were me (alone) versus nine players, and the last six of which were a staring contest between me (still alone) versus the enemy's A-20 and two SPGs, which hid after I squished their one-at-a-time push to my capture point. And I was patient enough to wait for the draw, even though people on my team were giving away my grid position. Then there was this game, where I lost my commander, radio operator, and driver to SPG fire. Two things in my favor: I used the health pack on the commander, and the KV-1's commander has Jack of All Trades, so the tank wasn't totally useless. Also, I got lucky and one-shotted the 10% StuG on the enemy flag with a single 57mm APCR, while it was staring right at me and I had about 50 HP left. Finally there's this eight-kill catharsis. If you watch the replay, I really was trying to flank rush the enemy M6 Heavy, but ended up wasting some time trying to beat up their lights when there turned out to be a whole nest of them on my flank. I think the walking-speed Covenator ram is kinda funny, at least. |

IS-8 does run pretty damn fast though, quite a bit more than you'd expect from such a honking big tank.
But agreed, the IS-3 is one of, if not THE best Tier VIII heavy in the game. Put a Vertical Stabilizer on it, train the Smooth Ride-Snap Shot combo, and it can surprise you with some successful shots on the move. And as for its pike armour... it just means you don't bother angling. Point your nose at the enemy, and charge him. |

The left most second from the bottom panel reminds me of nearly every Serene Coast game.
Anyway there is a 50% discount on the Wolverine on the EU servers, so I decided to check it out selling my T40 (another Tier IV tank I liked and the first TD I enjoyed). My first reaction was 'what's the point of having a turret on a TD when the turret traverse speed is so damn slow'. It seems to me you're better off turning the tank in some situations. On my IS I got the 122 mm D-25T, a 10.6s reload time on the derp, yes please. I also got the 8,8 cm KwK 43 L/71 on the Tiger. I can honestly say I find the gun underwhelming, the damage is pathetically low for Tier 7. The penetration is good though.
