Patton III pics?

[Th3GoodSon]

Bet you the search light would be a hit box on another tank. Probably set the tank on fire if it was German

Fair.
Also, based on the one pic we do have of the Patton III if that MG cupola on the top is a hit box im going to well disappointed.
If it is that p much means "lol you wanted to go hull down?"

Never heard of static discharge? Of course it would set the tank on fire!

[Al Simmons]

T62A pictures. Not much new here. Searchlight not an HP hitbox, dunno' about a module (guessing no, though).

  Spoiler:

It looks like a T-54 with a bubble dome turret.

[Mi Lai]

Been hoping for real T62, me disappoint .

[Lusulpher]

Personaly I find no difference in armor between Batchat and Patton, so less armor on Leo wil hardly make it more vulnerable. When the armor gets that thin everything will pen anyway, esp with all the new guns.

I believe Leo will be a "German Patton", very good depression and Batchat-esque mobility with high pass-ability in bad terrain and a very accurate high pen gun. That would be great and make the tank utter shit in the wrong hands but a great tool in the right hands.

Glorious. The Patton is already obsoleted by the Bat. What I need to buff my WR is a BatChic with MORE accuracy and unnerfed DPM...

Would be cool if WG would develop a day/night cycle into the game where additional modules could be used.

IR searchlights for one. Flare grenades as another.

Is the battle at night? Turn on IR search lights and use NVGs! But wait...they can see your IR Searchlights if they have NVGs too. To use or not to use....decisions decisions.

Maybe in your initial encounter you pop a flare, so incase they are using NVG's you can make their screen go white and blind them for ~20-30s or so? But if they aren't using NVG's, then you would spot yourself out to everyone nearby and reduce your own night time visibility!

Night vision devices were being fieldtested/thrown in service in the last year of the 2nd world war iirc. Not sure what you are facepalming about. Not to mention top tanks are extending well into the 50's atm.

It appears I'm wrong and they got introduced even earlier:

First thought.
"Mate, thats not night vision its just a fucking torch."

[Dogbeast]

Ya. What do you think that "search light" is at above and to the right of the main gun on the T-62? It's an IR Illuminator. And with equipment to see in the IR Spectrum, you can pretty much see in the dark. It's called active night vision. The Vampir (German NV in WWII) was based on this principal.

Only later did passive NV come into effect, but that is mostly after the timeline in WoT.

Thats funny because the bat is in no way better than the patton in its current form.7.2 bat? Maybe. These days the patton is much better imho.

Nah they pretty equal. Depends fight and map, some maps batchat is LOT better than patton. Like some new attack maps where its really good to use batchats excellent speed to run under edge near opponents, nuke then from side and then later run in and kill their arty. Also any fight where situtaion develops to med or long range sniping batchat is lot better because of its gun better accuracy.

But then it has to reload

Long range batchat? Lol my patton is a tack driver

But it can escape, unlike Patton...

It's easy to hit and paper thin

[Lusulpher]

So are 1390s...best tank overall in this game...

Pros don't get hit even when in HVYs. Terrain contours make solid armour I've noticed.
