I'll probably quit playing once autoloading artillery comes out. The game is barely playable with artillery as it is.

[Raidyr]

Or get the autoloading artillery

[kirederf7]

Lately I'm playing tanks like the PzIV and having loads O fun.

Agree, you're already dead once it locks on to you, first shot tracks you, next two kill you, both direct hits thanks to the retarded accuracy of artillery in this game, arty already does the job of TD's.

[Morcam]

Is it just me, or is the 105mm on the T25AT actually worse than the second-to-last gun? This thing just bounces all day long. There's no way in hell it has 198mm pen. Add to that a 1000 credit per shot cost, and I just lose money every game. Seriously, making 20k in a game is nice, but when you toss on 7k of repairs and 8k of ammo, I'm not sure that that's very productive.

It's probably going to go like this

*target spotted* "Commence targeting system, load the shells, bearing 5-0 directly on top of his top turret armor. Prime the warheads and set fuzes to instant detonation. Tell the loader to get off farmville and load up the HE rounds in the chamber. Gun loaded, target acquired. M.I.R.V. warheads primed and ready."

"Permission to fire?"

"Nuke them from orbit."

[w00tman64]

So. Don't know if I missed something posted some where. But I was booted from the clan. Would it be fine if I reapplied when the clan cool down thing ends for me? My in game name is GreyGuy.

Batchat 155 platoons would be the SHIT


They'd have the firepower of an entire team composed of KV-2s firing in battery

[Awesomecaek]

Firstly, I wouldn't be sure about 6 155mm shells. I heard something about 3 round drum.

Keep on mind that for example KV's (undersized due to the recoil issues) round weights about 50 kilograms already. I can't see an ammo drum which can hold 700kg worth of ammo and spin, loading it in.



Secondly, French arty will be the most delightful counterarty target ever. They either won't be able to relocate, as that will fuck up their precision and they will have to wait to aim and completely lose the advantage of the drum, or the will shoot from one position repeatedly, giving you a wonderful message about where they are and where they gonna STAY.


With arty like S-51, you usually shoot, relocate, and aim, and shoot at the moment your new shell reloads. Drum loaded arty simply can't do that.

Mother of God........

[Awesomecaek]

Another thing is that the revolving artillery gonna shoot the revolver clip and can go make a coffee or have a quick wank before the drum reloads again.

[Zingly]

Anyone got any good mods? I haven't updated anything since 7.2 released and I'm missing some of the better reticle and sight mods.

Except you would have to rely on pub arty players to properly counter arty, which never happens. As it is we have to rely on them for help with high tier heavies, and help with killing enemy artillery, and rarely ever do they.

"Why waste time counter-artying and securing my teams victory, when I can drop a 203mm shell on that 1/3 health stock tiger tank!"

Seeing how the Tier 8 is on a Bat Chatt Chassis, i'm sure it will be able to relocate faster and better. I imagine as long as it isn't spotted and locked on before the end of it's drum, it will be a nice mobile arty unit.

[scout1]

And then it ends up being a horrendously OP tank if it ever goes into TD mode

I bet its going to have ridiculous aim time/accuracy loss with movement to compensate for the RoF so probably not

[scout1]

If it has ridiculous aim time there'll be little reason to have it be an autoloading arty.



So yeah, it's going to be a beast TD.

Bat Chat chassis, turret, and autoloader? I think French Tier 8 SPG is my next goal.

now where the fuck did that come from

I will TDmode that beast.

Psst

It's not on a BatChat 25t chassis, Batignolles-Chatillon was a design workshop that happened to make a whole lot of stuff including a 155mm SPG and a 25t medium.

It's on a French designed chassis that's heavily based on the M46 the USA sent them.

It's not going to be that mobile.

[goon165]

WE HAVE A CLAN BATTLE IN AN HOUR GET IN MUMBLE

IT'S ENSK

[cpt.armadillo]

Get that territory lads!

[Orkel]

No one except our platoon had even 1000 efficiency.



"we're pissing in a sea of piss here"

[Raidyr]

First time it ever happened to me, and it happened twice yesterday. IS-3's ain't got shit.

[cpt.armadillo]

Did you slaughter them?

[dill6869]

I just took on a KT and a VK4502 A, both at full health, alone in the Tiger P.
I killed the VK and brought the KT down to 400 health before I was killed by a T32

gotta love that frontal armor

[MadCatMkII]

HOLY FUCK FP IS FINALLY BACK

anyway we lost all the clan battles that mattered tonight

[Raidyr]

Won a couple good ones though, including a hilarious match against a group that tried to spam us with T110s and discovered they were terrible drivers. Watching one of them facehug CrashJr's IS-7 and ding like 5 shots was as funny to watch as it was painful.

Edited:

Also my friend keeps asking what tanks we need to win a clan match and I have to revise my answer every time. Apparently now E-100's are in?

Only with gold rounds. Ever.

Orkel might disagree

[Awesomecaek]

Orkel apparently sends all t10 heavies to school with his E-100.

It's just hard thing to play but I dare to say very dangerous in the right hands.

[Azaz3l]

I'm getting ammo racked almost every match in my T-43.

Help.

Agreed, but if we're talking clan wars here, unless all your E100 players are pros there isn't much hope for them if the enemy puts IS7s in the field without gold ammo. Trying to shoot an IS7 in the front with standard rounds feels like an exercise in futility every time I try :P

[scout1]

I believe someone linked a waybackmachine link of japanese tanks and small arms? If anyone has that n hand could they relink it?

[Dejarie]

Welp, after not playing since just after the American tree was introduced into the beta, I'm getting back into the game. Shame my old account can't be used. I can only imagine how much gold I had hoarded. Germany4lyfe

Those T110's were pathetic. They dinged 3 shots off my M103, and took 9 shots to kill me. Meanwhile I did around 175+% damage spread out across 4 T110's

[acidcj]

Yeah I kept pounding the T110s with 155 shells. They tracked my T95 multiple times, but never tried to flank me, despite my sides being relatively unprotected by teammates. Instead, they opted to bounce off my front repeatedly.
