So WG is planning to revamp the camo system. Adaptive camo that changes with the env you're in (i.e. Winter, Summer, Desert) and ads a little bit to the camo value of the tank (atm they are talking about 5%).

While this is nice as camo has been only a vanity item i also think its incredibly shit as its forcing every Tank that relys on a camonet to buy all three camosets
Also my Whitewolf arctic camo on my soviet tanks will be gone from the desert maps

Hm, not sure I like that. More crap to buy every battle, and only useful for a certain class of tank. Plus vanity camo is nice.

Think of the pay to win man, think of the pay to win.
And how old is that screen shot? Tier 10 T30 wut?


Bought the Type 59... 7 hours later, no Type 59... sigh :wargaming:

From what I've seen so far the Type 62 looks like it would play well if you drive it like a T20, and if it does I'll be quite interested seeing as I like my T20. Anyone driven it yet?

Fuck WG. NA server gets a rig sale for heavy metal weekend, we get an XP bonus on that time-honoured classic heavy tank, the VK3601.

[Ashaz]

Russia the motherland of fatass heavy tanks? "Um. we have this thing that belives it is a medium."

Well chosen tanks there. Especially with that description

Last time I endedup whelping a Löwe cause I missed the type offer.

[Cornucopian]

I was stocking up credits to buy some equipment because I thought they were going to be on sale. Fuckers

[AssaultHamster]

105 leFH18B2

Who in their right mind would buy one of these?

Isn't it essentially a Priest? The Priest is shit, 105mm HE spammer doesn't work anymore, does fuck all damage. Never really did a whole lot in the first place, but the current HE mechanics gimp it moreso.

Do you or anyone else have the 62 and the chaffee? Wondering how they compare to play. Also wondering how their mm compares. One other thing... Could you check their availability for use in medium companies.

Plus rep incoming...

MM for both are equivalent. After a few games in the Type 62, I can safely say it is rather sluggish compared to my Chaffee, with somewhat slow acceleration but relatively decent agility. The lower hp:ton ratio really hurts here. Hopefully this gets better like the Type 59 did with BiA + Speed Governor. I'm using oil at the moment, but I'll try out the governor after I get home from work.
The gun is pretty nice with very high alpha for a light tank. You can get damage rolls up to 200 but 140-180 is still very nice. I'm not sure the loss of 7mm of penetration will prove that significant if played correctly. Very nice rate of fire. Accuracy on the move is better than the T-50-2 but not as good as the Chaffee. Accuracy in general is really good.
The armor is surprisingly decent, and can have some nice bounces on the front glacis. However I wouldn't count on the armor bouncing when you need it.

Overall fairly similar in play style to the Chaffee, although I'd recommend being more cautious in the Type 62.

Depends on how much HP the engine module has. I used to use it on the T-50 but I would pretty much only activate it very sporadically to accelerate from a full stop in a tight situation because it would damage the engine ridiculously fast (compared to using it on a heavier tank) if left on for any significant amount of time.

Can't hurt to try it out though.

Trying to play arty in a city map is just the most miserable experience. You have razor-thin avenues of fire, or else you're trying to TD-mode, which doesn't work. Why do they even put arty in city maps? They're next to useless.

[spasm]

I bought the t-127 from the gift shop since I already own all the other premium light tanks, might as well own it. I'm surprised at how good it is, I'm really enjoying it. Got top gun on my first match with it.

I got one of these, it's pretty damn good, most accurate arty i've ever played, damage is poor but it fires really really quickly, I love it. Plus it gets heaps of kills, has armour and is basically a hetzer when you go td mode. It has ap shells too but they're shit (64 mm pen?)
