Still using a D10T on a tank crew, checking in. Sigh.

The above post is probably derp, and you might want to ignore it.
We don't know if that's the T1 Cunningman or T1 Heavy, although I'd guess the former.Originally Posted by Xiang Jiao
Oh hell, I forgot about the rookie tank. That makes a little more sense since top turret view range on Cunningham is 280m.We don't know if that's the T1 Cunningman or T1 Heavy, although I'd guess the former.
Edit - Why are they removing the KV-5 from the store? Is it going to be totally OP now with no machine gun turret weaknesses?

Bah, nerfing my KV-13 (slightly).What's "effect of suspension on the stock spread" supposed to mean?
Domination.

Stock means gun I think. So more effect of the suspension on the spread while moving?
I don't sports.
I don't play, watch, care about or understand sports. At all. I do not sports.
ETA on 7,5 ?
What does that mean then? Do you get less dispersion when you have a higher-capacity suspension?

Yes, upgraded suspension upgrades many aspects of the tank:What does that mean then? Do you get less dispersion when you have a higher-capacity suspension?
Turn rate, offroad-ability and shot dispersion on the move to name a few of the key things affected.
Please read every other post in the thread.
Same reasoning why they removed Type59 from regular store? My guess: you can throw in some "special sales" once in a while, where you create pretty (read: more expensive than sole tank) bundles (think: tank + slot + gold shells + consumables although you need/want nothing except the tankl) to sell them for even more money.
Because rarity, even if it's entirely artificial rarity of an otherwise inferior product, drives up value. If price stays the same and value rises, so do sales.
When's 7.5 due to hit?
Hello? Oh, hello! I'm sorry it's a very bad line. No, no no... but that's not possible, she was sealed in to the Seventh Obelisk after the prayer meeting. Well, no, I get that it's important... an Egyptian Goddess loose on the Orient Express. In Space. Give us a mo....
... don't worry about a thing, your Majesty; we're on our way.
Why not remove the Lowe and T34 then?Because rarity, even if it's entirely artificial rarity of an otherwise inferior product, drives up value. If price stays the same and value rises, so do sales.
Probably still selling well, given that they have some redeeming features and no national competitor. With the IS-6 being better than the KV-5 in most ways (if still not all that great) and occupying the same class and tier slot, it seems reasonable to guess that the -5 isn't selling that well.Why not remove the Lowe and T34 then?Because rarity, even if it's entirely artificial rarity of an otherwise inferior product, drives up value.

It does seem like every WoTard owns one though. I've seen games with three KV-5 per side.
No idea about how many are owned and not used, but the last NA server stats scrape shows that KV-5s are used 55.5% as often as Types, 60.5% as often as Lowes and 72.4% as often as T34s. The only two tier 8 premiums that score lower are the IS-6 (new) and the Mutant 6 (very limited distribution). Given that the KV-5 is notably cheaper than the other available heavies and the Type no longer for sale, I can understand Wargaming's desire to both channel people to the more expensive Soviet heavy and squeeze some last few sales out of the KV-5 before it goes away.
I wish they would delete it from the game and refund people their money. It's such a useless tank, having a couple of KV-5s on your team is basically auto-lose.
The KV-5 can actually spank you pretty hard if you're a lower tier in the match, but I love that hilarious weakspot of an MG turret. Of course the biggest troll was that the Lowe and KV-5 were the same price (when first released.)
Kinda wished I'd stayed attentive after I finished the Tanks beta. It cost me another 4,500 gold for my Lowe
KV-5 is the biggest annoyance of a tank in game IMO. In high tier matches they are nothing but a dead weight hit point sink, because of its lumbering slowness & the accuracy & pen of the higher tier guns negate any armor advantage it has. In lower tier matches is where it takes on troll form. Its gun has rather medicore damage, but pretty decent penetration so it just pelts you with these annoying shots. The shittier pen of the lower tier guns mean you have pretty much have to hit the fucker in R2D2, which can be a pain in the ass with some tanks with crappy accuracy and aim time. The most annoying thing is when your in a very low profile tank like an AMX 12t, 13-75/90, or even the T-43/44 where if you sneak behind one of these lumbering fucktwats, you have a bitch of a time penetrating that rear armor plate because its fairly thick and has a decent curve to it. Its kinda fustrating when you can snap shot through the front plate of a ferdi traveling ludicrous speed but you bounce half a clip on the much thinner rear plate of a fuckin KV-5.
Just shoot the turret sides/rear. They're large, flat, and vertical, and only 150/140mm thick.
