Bought the S-51.
Actually been enjoying, although I am thinking of free xping to the top gun just because the stock gun doesn't have much splash and when you do hit you don't do much damage.
Also loving the T34, it is so nice not having any money problems anymore in tanks.
Second part of dev interview released.

Does anyone else find the top Pershing gun kind of screwy sometimes? Bouncing off the front of a T32 like crazy, or the underside of an E-75. That 5 extra penetration over the other tier 8 mediums doesn't seem to do shit.
It actually has shitty penetration for a tier 8 medium. Its ok if you know where to shoot. T32 bounces 200/225 pen guns on the front when angled too. Only russian/chinese made tanks have worse pen at tier 8 then pershing. Panther has 203mm and Lorraine 212mm or 232mm depending which gun you use.
Also, fatal mistake trying to shoot them from the front. Time is better spent relocating.
Yeah but there's some times where they're bearing down on you and you can't relocate. I swear this tank is only good if you have several good people on your team distracting the enemies so you can get some shots in their sides or something without being completely raped.
I'm coming off the Type, which has statistically less penetration, but I seem to do a lot better at penetrating with it, I guess because i'm usually closer as the accuracy sucks on the Type and it can bounce some shots unlike the Pershing. The lack of armour is such a pain on this thing, 140 extra hp is not worth that. The gun does good damage but the rof is pretty slow and you bounce on a ton of stuff![]()
5mm penetration isn't going to be noticeable, nor will the differences in the upper and lower bounds (+4/+6mm respectively), rate of fire (-2%), or even the alpha (+10) or DPM (+44) going from the Type to the Pershing. You're just trading armor for mobility, slight HP, and soft stats.
Also I think the Pershing looks better.
My pershing is making me mad atm
Trying to get ace tanker on it and I keep falling short.
Either
A) Im dumb and cant remember how to play it
or
B) Im bad
Your posting is medium, its not rare and its not well done

I am having a similar issue with the tier 4 arty on the french line.
It gets constantly thrown into tier 8-9 matches where it is virtually useless. Even on the dreaded KV-1 tank, I'm doing a paltry 80-100 damage per shot. KV-5's and such, its usually 20-50 range. Direct hit. There is no splash with this arty, so that is out of the question. Only tanks it can actually do damage to are french tanks, where even then it does only ~200 damage in a hit.
I am trying to save up free XP for the end tier tanks and their associated upgrades (ie guns/tracks/turret), but this grind is killing me. Have best gun on it, but it's still weak.
I am being tempted more and more each day of just going straight to the tier 5 arty...
Playing devils advocate:
The physics system will not make the game more enjoyable, it will instead be yet another source of justified rage at teammates aka Maus falling off a cliff etc![]()
I really want to love the E-50, but without the top engine/gun and lemming teams it's extremely unpleasant![]()
Grinding in a hurry makes ones stats suffer.Lost 2 or 3% win and maybe over 5% survival on E50. Just decided to check my stats and saw I was somehow in 20is with my survival %. Damn.
While stupid "made of paper always dies" Lorraine is holding at 62% win and ~30% survival. Patton is still improving, as is T54. Just poor E50 suffering from hurry and lack of luck. New game mods don't help, and neither do new maps, but its mostly the new game mods.
And ofc after the patch we will see combined effects of vastly tougher MM and nerfs at same time. Getting that last 70-80k exp needed for T10s will be pain.

No fuck that, I had 57 or 58 % on E50, best of all my T9 meds. It was doing ok since I put 88L100 on it, and blossomed with L7. But damn, just cant manage to keep that. And ofc, that in one of 6 to 8 games I will suffer frontal engine damage and maybe even burn, sure doesn't help, does it.
Though today was a good morning, took 6 games to get 6 first wins. Feels god man.

Pretty much all tanks are horrible without top gun/engine and teams are always.
68% WR, 43% SR and 1045 ave after 1k+ battles. Still 110k to grind for the ausf M, though have enough free xp ready just incase.
