Tier 10 mediums and TDs

Consensus seems to be "I fucking hate this tank, but my win rate is 5643% and I kill steal at least 7 people per match"

Fixed.

The real role of the French meds is spotting/scouting.

Kill stealing when you get xp for damage and your on a team.

The Lorraine is the size of a house and can dump out an awesome amount of damage, it's wasted as a scout (and going to die).

[Stormscion]

the last engine makes indeed a qualitative difference, somehow. My WR raised a lot with it. However it's still too big to scout. I'm having fun with it - much much more than with the shitty t44 - but I'm still going to sell it for the batshit.

Well yes that is because it does not play as scout very well it is not made for that

I was tempted to get it initially, but tbh I don't even like the AMX 13 75 that much, so I'll probably not bother.

Though I hate being on the same team as the fuckers, they always seem to suicide immediately.

amx feels like slow pig compared to loraine
thing with loraine is that it is ultimate flanker
requires good and skilled play to take most out of it...
well no need to talk about it now because it is getting nerfed hard by being moved to tier9

I disagree... Not active scouting in the t-50-2 sense of course, but it gets around 500m vr with optics, vents and the 2 skills.

And anyway even if you were right - scouting could be not its role, but it is a necessity with the teams around on weekend I managed to bring the WR up from 45% to 60% this weekend B)

So is the t10 ussr medium bad? :/

[Dogbeast]

So is the t10 ussr medium bad? :/

IIRC, it's got good DPM, RoF, Pen, and front turret armor.

Agility wise, it performs like a Type 59 compared to a fully upgraded T-44.

And that's about it. It has less armor and agility than the T-54, which makes you go lol. Especially since IRL, the T-62 was a more advanced and superior T-54/55 but had the problem of being way more expensive to manufacture because of it being so advanced.

Not a T-62, it's a T-62A, which is a temporary stopgap design between the two.

[Nobody_Holme]

Because WG do love their blueprint-only or 1-ever-built frankentanks. Sigh.

[dzajic]

No, because "real" T-62 would be stupidly OP and would force other T10 MTs to all also become this or other MBT. So M60 instead of M48 and maybe some late '70es or early '80es uparmored version of Leo 1 for Krauts. Though Brits are supposedly getting a Chieftain as T10 so god only knows. Maybe its their evil plan. One Leo 1 and Cheif are in they decide to be kind and generous and replace T-62A with real T-62 (or T-64, just because Soviet Victor!)

Technically 5, and not prototypes either, but they're very different vehicles. The A mounted a 100mm rifled gun, the -62 had a larger turret ring that allowed it to mount a 115mm smoothbore, which was why the vehicle was designed in the first place. Given that Wargaming has stated they aren't doing smoothbores, giving us a tank built around a smoothbore would be silly. This isn't even something like the E series transmission, either, with scarce documentation and no prototypes, etc.

[Al Simmons]

When do they introduce the AH-64? Nice armour retards, have some Hellfires

At the rate we're going? Probably Christmas.

[Dirk Magnum]

Must go retro in 8.0. Also unconventional.
Calliope Sherman, Katyusha, and Stuka zu Fuss. Just imagine. An armored area-effect artillery with a one-off barrage and huge reload time, an inaccurate and unarmored truck with loads of high-damage rockets, and a halftrack with a six-round magazine of blap. It would be glorious. The age of the artillery trolls will continue unabated.

Best part for WG is that these would all have to sit on their own, disconnected from any tech tree. Meaning they can only be accessed with purchased free xp. Come on you soviet mafia bitches make it happen.

At the rate I'm going I already have 100K xp saved up on E-50

I clearly remember them saying no tier 10 mediums ever. Later it became no tier 10 mediums now. Then poll on overlord blog if people wanted tier 10 mediums. Suddenly tier 10 mediums in game.
