Then again, at 60+ tons that modern mbt's weigh, they might as well be called heavies. Henceforth, all MBT's shall be redesignated heavy tanks! Who's with me??!!?!!

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

They also switched the designation of heavy/medium from depending on tank weight to depending on tank gun caliber shortly after WW2 I think. So it's all a bit academic in the end.
Sheep balls. Time for me to finish the last 6k xp grind on my Hummel then. You will be mine, GW Panther.
GW-P is so sweet after the rubbish Hummel.

I just started playing the GW and I'm having trouble keeping it above 45%. One game I got countered behind a bush without even firing. I was zoomed in with my HUD off looking for tracers. I'm starting to get quite good at it, too. If only taking out all of the enemy's arty in the first couple minutes meant your team could seal the win.Originally Posted by Dirk Magnum
I recommend free xping the gun. I waited until the last 3k remaining before I had enough of the crap Hummel gun. I was probably around 22% wins at that point.
21:39 M48A1 lose XP: 295 Dmg: 3991 Killed: 0 Spotted: 1
How the f is that possible? 4k dmg from first row, sniper medal, and only 295xp?
No friendly fire penalties either.
----------------------------------
Oh and the game after it:
21:45 T25_2 lose XP: 934 Dmg: 3739 Killed: 5 Spotted: 1
xp's okay but loss loss don't matter what I do :-/

Looks like I'll be selling the Hummel and the gun (Hummel gun comes free with GWP anyway.) I'm a little short on credits. Gonna keep the 177% crew though, although I guess one of them will be sitting in the barracks until I unlock the GW Tiger.
Hammers Mike needs to platoon with proper people!
Right, but they shouldn't be in a WW2 era game. Imagine if a time traveller had granted one of the nations in WW2 a bunch of tanks from the 60's. Their enemies would get buttstomped.well, one might argue that atleast in this regard WG is historicaly accurate. afterall there's a reason why everyone stopped building heavy tanks at some point in the 60-70ies, and the MBTs evolved from the medium tanks :P

So then,
You remember that part in Heroes where Hired Gun gets ahold of some incendiary rounds for her semi-automatic sniper rifle subtlety?
That is kind of what this feels like:
I mean, sure, eventually they will nerf it and that in turn will feel like later in the story when she accidently shoots a kid and watch it burn to death, but up until that point, BULLETS OF FIRE!
BULLETS! OF! FIRE!
So...
I got in a Tier 9 match in my Jpanther last night.
I decided I'd drive forward.
Timer reaches 14:20.
Poof.
S-51'd.
Rage sell my S-51.
S-51 are pricks.

Gonna sell the JgPz4 to pay for it. Elited Hummel will be a much better free xp / credit source than the JgPz4 ever was. Worst TD in the tier, I swear.
Mate but... DAT JPANTHER!!!
Already have a JagdPanther
GW Panther, the tank that single-handedly brought my win rate down a point. Can't get away when a ELC comes to ram my ass, teams are total shit and camp BEHIND me, Widepark every other game and I counter battery all the enemy artillery positions and STILL lose. Fuck this stupid SPG.
Ok, so I say this and the very next game - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php...08293903595400 - fought assault style on Ensk for a win.
I'd still rather have a Hummel on Ensk since it's more agile and packs pretty much the same fire power in TD mode. I suppose the GW's a bit easier aim when you're trying to shoot a high explosive shell right over the heads of your team mates.

Now for the lovely 68k grind to make it decent.
Ah, finally it seems I'm not the only one who's struggling with the GWPanther. I'm terrible with it (45% or so) and if given the choice, I'll rather take my 'lil critter out for a "flight of the humblebee". This strangely follows my trait of the more heavy the tank gets, the worse I'm with it.I just started playing the GW and I'm having trouble keeping it above 45%.
Xp / Credits is based on dmg inflicted. Arties got small HP pools, so I never counter arty.
GW-Panther is nimble enough to not be bothered by enemy artillery, so I just go for tank hunting.
Use your mobility to find a non-standard spot to shoot from. GW-P is a fantastic artillery.

But that's attributed to my being terrible at CB and having ADD when looking for arty tracers...
