I fucking love the 152mm cannon on the KV, if it actually hits something, it's gonna die.

Welcome to the overall most satisfying vehicle in the game.

[Crimor]

I'm not sure how I did it, or if he got hit from somewhere else too, but I think I just killed every single member of an IS's tank, and his ammo rack At least he said so.

Edited:

Ok it's fucking official, I'm going french for the flanking tanks, the AMX12t is so fucking annoying.

Are there any official notes on them nerfing frenchies?

[Cataclysmic_47]

AAAAHHHH YEAH!!! It's my 16th birthday, time to party!!!

Yes.

Serb particularly mentioned AMX 13 90.

AKA the light tank which can destroy a 100% healthy T8 heavy in under 30 seconds.

[Crimor]

So should I just go for the T50 or are there any other good flank trees that's good?

Just go for the french and prey they won't nerf them that hard.

I should warn you that AMX40 is martyrdom, tho.

[Goblin_5]

Just got called a noob for using credit consumables. I don't get this community sometimes.

[Awesomecaek]

Siegfried Line in my KV-5
8 kills
1,742 exp, 102,592 credits
(no premium; would be 2,613 exp and 153,888 credits on premium)
Survived with 13 health after taking 22 hits, so Steel Wall, obviously.

Yeah, I really don't think KV-5 is a bad tank.

152 dings off point blank vk3601, blast kills my driver instead and leaves him unharmed

[Awesomecaek]

wait how did the blast kill your driver yet leave him unharmed at the same time

i think he means that it killed his own driver, and that it left kv3601 unharmed

[Goblin_5]

I'm 24 next friday

[Yuskolov123]

My god... KV-1S is a bitch to grind to this... hope its worth it

Yep, worth it. If only 5x bonus...

Twenty in two weeks. Which means fucking nothing. All the final good shit happens at 21.

Historical accuracy, don't research it.

Also good luck, you need the tracks to mount the long 90mm. 20k XP of pure fun with a tier 7 gun and no speed at all.

Everything already "happened" at 18 for me.

Thankfully I have plenty of free xp to be converted =)

Patton is worst stock T9 and worst T9 overall too.

I elited it, grinding my teeth, and sold it.

And thus another one falls for wargayming's money making scheme by skipping the grind using dosh.

Edited:

And you sure bout that, awesomecaek? I really like the patton.

[DEANO90]

Well, I must say I have more money than sense

I love the American meds so, I'm looking forward to playing the Patton

[NuclearDwarf]

I no longer have credits
NOTHING

the IS-4 has ruined me

waaaaaaaa

[Orkel]

Happened yesterday. Me and just4fun are covering the little town of Prokhorovka alone while every other player in the team goes lemmings into the forest side. We told them it'd result in a fail but they didn't listen and instead preferred to call us noobs.

Obviously, me and just4fun get swarmed by half their team that end up capping our base while shooting the lemmings in the ass, and our entire team goes absolutely buttmad and blames us for the loss because we couldn't hold the city against a swarm of tier 7-8s in our KVs.

[Kilgore 2nd]

Played like 10 games today, got 1 win. Fuck it, not even going to try for my 5x today. Shit teams galore.

Last game I did, platoon of 3 obj 704 TDs went down the middle of the map (whichever is that map with the trench that goes from 1 base to another)

So we lost, I got 3 kills and survived with a Lowe up my ass, T95 turning toward me and a VK2801 shooting at me in my T-43 but just....so many fuckwit teams today. I give up.

This is the gun that gives you the real advantage over all other tanks in your match.
Once I got the D-2-5T, the KV-1S became the funnest tank I ever played.

It just has absolutely nothing to offer over the other T9 mediums.

I won't have this argument again, and yes, it's a T9, it's playable, it can ruin everything T8 and lower due to the massive DPS, but it is slowest of all the mediums, only BatChat having worse armor, and it's gun has horrible accuracy, it's highest DPS completely overshadowed by BatChat's autoloader.

All other mediums seem to have SOMETHING that makes them excel. T-54 can ding tier X guns with it's front and it's turret and it's rather agile and fast, E-50's armor is downright bullshit, while having a pin-point accurate gun, BatChat is... well, a fucking OP piece of french rape.

Patton has... view range, on the move accuracy which it can't really use because it's not really fast nor agile, and slightly SLIGHTLY higher DPM than others (which is known to be pointless anyway)

This was me over a Skype call with my friends, none of them play World of Tanks. I was using the 152mm last night for the first time in awhile.

My stupid ass posted:

Oh man a rear shot
Wait, I think I can penetrate this
Come on penetrate penetrate penetrate penetrate I can do this I can do this
YYEEAAAAAAAAGGGG
*Cannon finishes reloading, one hit killing a PzIV*
YEEESSSSSS! OH GOD
*a minute or so later after I get killed but don't give a fuck*
Oh God that felt good.

It was a good night.

Edited:

Now that I have all the tanks I want I've been playing mostly my T5-6 tanks for "fun". The game is a lot more "fun" when you're not actually trying to accomplish anything.

[joost1120]

Penetrate? You using AP, boy?

[Orkel]

152 HE can oneshot any tier 5 tank and some tier 6s frontally with no problems, quit using AP ya newb.

I was one shot in my KV-3 frontally by a 152 earlier. I never had that kind of luck in my KV.

[Amplar]

152 can't penetrate that much armor. he probably had HEAT.

[Nexosz]

first round - my team has 5 kv, enemy team - 0, we lose
