Well the question is what tier would you want to see it at? cuz the german already have 3 mediums at tier 6. if u want to keep at 7, then i think WG needs to give it better rof and armor like brit tanks or slope armor like ussr tanks or give it a huge gun like the leo I.... with brit pen ability.

maybe then ppl will stop saying germans are the underdog half of the time. well i think i should log in to get some free xp, i'm gettin pissed off that i can't complete any assignments on BF 3 right now, but i'm having more fun than I was in WoT.

Mastery Badge First Class? Does that mean I almost know how to play this now or that 95% of people suck with the M2 Medium?

Random LOL moment: A T20 gets shot and catches fire on Live Oaks. It immediately rolls into the water at the side of the map and... keeps burning.

You'd think the water would put out the fire.

Eh, I finished it off underwater anyway.

try to kill him somehow, as you might read from the loading screen, a draw count as a loss. so if you can't kill him, don't deny the other the win he deserve, it unsportsmanlike and the only thing it does is cause others (him and his teammate) frustration if they are on a loss streak.

not that I'm telling you to give your life to him, but try your best to kill him.

That was basically the answer I was looking for, didn't know if a draw was worth anything more than a loss. Glad to hear it too as an extended game of just running away isn't something I'd want to do.

Last night/this morning's session finally brought me back from the winrate dovetail I suffered during the anniversary weekend + my total ineptitude at the Super Pershing.

Apparently while Myssa/Teru was having one of her worse days. lol.

This coming weekend: M4 gold spam! Who needs teammates?

That's an interesting perspective. Didn't think of it before.

But then I was never in a situation where that was even a dilemma. If I was the last one alive, I was usually fighting for my life or trying to cap.

It means maybe I need to buy it and the Cunningham back sometimes to get my Mastery Badge and fix the nasty winrate on the poor things.

But yeah congrats and try for the gold mastery! It shouldn't be too hard at that level and with that tank, unlike certain OP tanks like the M4 (took me forever to get the Big M) or the KV-1.

I remembered ragequitting and sold the M2 a long time ago because it was worse than the tier 3 American light in just about every way though.

Everyone, there is going to be a good chance to do Champion TCs (that means tier 8 tanks and tier 6 arty) tomorrow from 3 to 6PM PST. There are going to be a lot of teams out there who want nothing more than to win gold, so they'll most likely to be playing like noobs. This is a good chance for MUP and affiliated tankists to get out there and kick ass.

Yeah, it could be a nice chance to win free gold. I could bring my S-51 or IS-3 from my main acc just to fill a spot (if my clan doesn't want me first)

[Hooves]

Was just playing my StuGIII and I literally had the best time in my World of Tanks life in this match.

http://mwreplays.com/replay/YM2X9SQYAW25/

After discovering that I could do that with a StuGIII. My friend and I tried to fit two tank destroyers in their this time.



Our reactions in voice call was just one laughter after another.

[Pen3]

Tonight Platoon was pretty good as we won the last 3 games with Ute and Tak.

is this some kinda humiliation to those 2

[Pen3]

I told them to use 1 VKDB at a time since they kinda suck.

[Gravitas Free Zone]

On the bright side, I should now have enough XP on the 3002 that I will be able to immediately unlock the Indienpanzer.

It's funny how I grew to like the T20 while grinding through it, but the entire process of getting through the DB has felt like doing really annoying homework for an entire month.

[LeoXiao]

Apparently the VK DB is getting nerfed. The hp is being decreased, the engine hp decreased to 720, and the Schmalturm traverse is going down from 32 to 24.

It's not getting nerfed, it's getting rebalanced. It's getting a slew of buffs along with those nerfs.

Changed the verstärkteketten suspension traverse mechanism of the VK 30.02 (D)
Changed the verstärkteketten suspension traverse speed of the VK 30.02 (D) from 40 to 42
Changed the MB 507 engine horse power from 750 to 720
Added the Maybach HL 230 TRM P30 engine
Fixed the VK 30.02 (D) Schmalturm and VK 30.02 (D) turrets armoring errors
Slightly rebalanced all of the guns
Raised the elevation and declination angles
Changed the VK 30.02 (D) Schmalturm turret view range from 370 to 380 m
Changed the VK 30.02 (D) turret view range from from 350 to 370 m
Changed the VK 30.02 (D) Schmalturm turret traverse speed from 30 grad/sec to 24 grad/second
Changed the VK 30.02 (D) turret traverse speed from 46 grad/sec to 32 grad/second
Changed the VK 30.02 (D) HP from 1,180 to 1,150

So basically while the 3002 has become more maneuverable now, its ability to engage in close combat has been nerfed. Basically, its playstyle should be similar to the Hellcat now

[LeoXiao]

"similar to the hellcat"? At least the hellcat gets a gun worth a damn.

I may decide to just free xp the rest of the way to the iPanzer if I can't research it by 8.5.

[Sumeragi]

No, the VK 30.02 (D) is now most like the T-25. Good acceleration and depression vs slow turret traverse.

[Blaat]

The VK 30.02 D will get a DPM increase, the rof of the 7,5 cm KwK 42 L/70 will be increased to 15 R/M. So that will definitely be the preferred gun after the patch.

Still I wish they buffed the 8,8 cm KwK 36 L/56 instead. At least giving a new variation of the gun with a penetration and accuracy buff that way it would not have affected the VK36.01(H). This is similar to the 122mm variations you see in the IS line.

I'd suggest you safe at least 14k (tracks) maybe even 18k (gun) for the iPanzer. It looks like the iPanzer will have the weakest stock gun for its tier in game.

I don't think the 3002DB would be so bad if it where in a lower tier but it just doesn't fit tier VII as is, and since it costs twice as much exp to research than the panther theres little reason to research it (well before the new german additions anyway).

The 30.02 doesn't cost twice as much as the Panther or Tiger, they all have the same research point price except currently you can research the Panther and Tiger via the 30.02 which makes the research price twice as cheaper than normal. There is a similar situation in the Russian tree with the KV-13.


Apparently they're going to rename the Jackson to the Slugger, any particular reason for this?

There is historical basis for the 122 mm variations. There is no basis for something similar with the 8,8 cm KwK 36 L/56.

They're not. Jackson was the official name of the M36.
