T28 with a paper weakspot? Worst tank in the history of WoT if that happens.

From what I've seen on the trailer it looks like it's opened...So Arty and HE should make a good effect on him

Hellcat seems to have much better gun depression than the Slugger if that video is to be believed. Can be seen when it crosses a little mound and has its gun depressed.

SerB talking about the T-50-2

Q: You frequently mention comparative stats for the Tier 10 heavies (e.g. their "one-shot" potential, the E-100 being slightly ahead of the pack, etc.). Can you give us some information on Tier 5 lights? Who's the leader/outlier? Survivability?

A: The leader is the T-50-2. We'll nerf it a little bit, or maybe replace it entirely. The others are even.

Q: Which tanks are being considered as a possible replacement for the T-50-2? And what would be the reason for the change - because the T-50-2 is another copy like the T20-T23 or the T29-T34-T30?

A: 1. One light tank development from 1943 that we found in the archives. 2. Because it's a motorcycle.

Btw I'm kinda short on money now and I really need the Tiger II and got a shitload of tanks in my garage and I was going to sell my T-50,Hummel and the IS (The IS because I barely play it and I not much interested in going to the final of the tree) and wanna know if worth selling all of them

[Ama-zake]

The other day I was combating a T-50-2 in my Lorraine and we lined up side by side at 60km/h to fire on each other and accidentally bumped a bit

It exploded

T-50-2 so op

[3v3ryb0dy]

I realized I play this game to troll/grief others.

Also it's hilarious when you corner a tank while you get tracked, and everyone oppens up on you. And as you move that everyone misses and kills their cornered tank.

[Orkel]

A PzIV didn't think my T82 was a threat and seemed to ignore me. So I rushed right past him as the speedy fuck that this TD is, turned behind him and shot him in the ass. Two more shots later and he was dead, he didn't start turning his turret until the 2nd shot. Only had the 75mm stock howitzer but it was enough to easily pen him

[minicunga]

Omg. I want that T28 Prototype. I love the T28, it's unstoppable if the match making is feeling nice and with a turret shit would be crazy. Shame it'd be open top though and considering how long a T28 is that could prove problematic with a heavy driving up to you and shooting you through the roof (Tiger 2, E-75 etc).

[marine31]

So basically the new American TD line contains fast, turreted TD's? Well I hope they got good firepower.

If the T28 Prototype is anything like the T28 with it's high armour it'll be very slow. Maybe even slower as it'll be heavier due to the turret.

Ah bollocks, 3 games in a row now i've been spotted out by an AMX 13 75 and then raped by all the team/arty within 30 seconds of starting the game.....most frustrating.

I never really thought as the AMX/Lorraine and T50-2 as op. The former have pretty thin armor but have the firepower to make up for it, and the latter is only a threat if you let it be (kinda like the Type 59).

[Orkel]

Did you notice that in the 7.2 trailer

the premium T34

had the 105mm

So there's no distinguishing feature of the T34 except being a T29 moved up a tier? Dafuq are they thinking?

Edited:

Unless... They buffed the 105's pen to actually reflect it's ammo cost...

[Azaz3l]

I once destroyed a T-34-100 in my T-34-57, bang bang bang motherfucker. In the end I had like 63 hp and he had 178, when he finished reloading, he shot me and damaged my tracks but I took no damage, and then I fed him 57mm shells.

More HP dummy. And its a premium. It's good to me seeing how it will be semi balanced.

The only difference between the t29 and the t34 was the gun...

What is even the point of a t8 t29.

Congrats.

Just had a nice team.. A few of us meds on the hill at Prokhorovka, started to get over run...where were our heavies...oh they're sniping to cover us...oh no, wait, they're just camping behind the rail at the back of the base.....2 e75s, AMX 50 100 and some other useless twat.

Thanks a bunch heavies!

Where does the new American fast TD line start? which tank should I start XP grinding?

Two choices. Either "grind" just 2-3k exp on the T82 and jump straight to the T4 TD (M8A1) when it comes out, or grind an unknown amount of exp (probably between 20-30k) to get from the Wolverine straight to the Hellcat (my choice).

Will do the same, I want the Hellcat

I'm hoping it's a lighter/faster version of a Slugger.

Just rebought the T82 and got a 3k double, good to go.

there's no point to new maps cause 99% of the time you play those shitty stock maps that were with the first release

They really need to add a maps preference system so you can opt out of playing specific maps. Would probably give them a good guage on what maps to design around in future as more or less people prefer a specific one etc.

I for one could live very happily without Malinovka.

Most decent players want urban/close quarter maps because they benefit the most from individual ability.

Having kind off a hard time deciding so I ask you guys, should I go for the heavy tank tree or medium tank tree from the M4 Sherman. What's the most fun?

Most fun? Mediums.
Most effective? Not knowing how good the 7.2 American heavies are but going off general game experience, heavies.
