After trying Tier 2 again for the first time in quite a while, I'm not ever going to try Tier 2 again ever.

Depends on the T2. The T18, with 50mm of armor and a derpgun, is pretty troll at Tier 2. Though I'm crap at it, because I need a turret.

Most of what I see at Tier 2 is people seal-clubbing in T18s, which isn't a problem in itself as much as the rest of the team usually not knowing how to do anything.

I could get a T18 and join in, but... blah.

Why? You already got the Tet didn't you? That one has a gun that can penetrate anything at that tier.

Tried that for a few games. Problem ended up being dealing with 12-14 complete morons on my team while avoiding one-shot obliteration from T18 seal clubbers. (And I was platooned with seal clubbers in T18s... but three T18 seal clubbers is better than two T18 seal clubbers and a scout.)

It's not the tank, it's [expletive] Tier 1 and 2 idiot parties where the Tetrarch cannot afford to screw up once, since its armor won't stop a light breeze.

And on a practical level, muddling around below Tier 3 is bad for my performance ratings, plus I have no interest in using any other Soviet light tanks (tried both BT-2 and BT-7, yay, fast, still felt like I was pointlessly wasting time when I have 12 other projects), so... hey, how about that IS-6?

The IS-6 is the blue-to-unicum preferential MM tier 8 of choice, after what happened to the Super Pershing. The only reason why I haven't gotten one myself is, well, money issues.

The return of the JagdTiger? I thought it never left.

The 183 is extremely hard to hit *and* pen things with without the half of the enemy team bombing it to death upon spotting. Although those moments when I *did* pen were side-splittlingly hilarious, and solidified this TD as a definite keeper. I'm not doing well in it because it demands an exceptionally careful play style that the rest of the British TD line unfortunately didn't prepare me for. The rear-mounted turret also prevents me from doing "hit-and-run" corner maneuvers. So I think I'll focus on playing the tanks I'm good at right now, whatever tier they are. Save perfecting that high-alpha beast for another time and just do daily doubles for it.

You're thinking Jagdpanther

What Jagdtiger needs is an M3 Lee to send it off a dive

D'oh! Damnit. *facepalm* This is what happens when you're running on 3 hours of sleep.

Actually managed to do that last night. I didn't quite ram a light tank into the drink, but I managed to get them to slide off the edge and into the water. Bonus points for being a Panzer III.

That would have been an interesting scene to reenact for the GuP/WoT crossover promo video, though I suppose the Lee/Ferdinand was more explody.

FV215b(183): You can obliterate tanks in one shot, and are relatively soft and squishy... of course people want to kill you.

Tell me something I haven't known for the past 3/4 of a year, Sherlock. Ever since I got my first tier 8, I've been seeing those 183s get instantly vaporized on the battlefield. I've looked up topics on the TD extensively to determine whether I wanted it, and I've seen several people comment on how it's the ultimate arty bait. I actually knew what I was getting into when I bought the 183 and pressed the "battle" button.

Had north spawn, went to guard the pass with three low-tiers (thank goodness the other team didn't rush). The low-tiers all went a bit too far toward the bridge and died.

Made the most of their wreckage. 960 HP can really push things.

Got some lucky bounces from the T1HT's mantlet, too.

Unlocked the T-34-85's top gun last night. I think I should have used up all my earlier 85mm, because it's using different rounds. -_-;;

Not really much going on with the tanking front; I've got 4.7 million credits, and I think I'll take a break to play other things for now...
