Saw those new tech trees, can't wait for the downtiered-panther.

And the 4502 is utter garbage.  So slow, IS3's outmaneuver me.

[AceHigh]

Well, I suggest the King Tiger tree down to E-100 when they release new tank trees.

Do you know what is the difference between Maus and E-100? Well, imagine a Maus that has a bit flatter and wider hull, while it's turret is mounted in the front/middle instead of back like on a Maus.

I believe that if you disliked Vk4502, you will also hate Maus, so just sell it and farm money so you can go from KT to E-75 and then E-100.

As for the IS outmanoeuvring German heavies, it's nothing new. Of all heavy tanks, Russian heavies seem to take the half heavy, half medium  approach, so they are generally faster and more manoeuvrable. However even that is going to change soon.

Have you ever noticed that IS has better frontal armour than IS3? The same goes for IS4 having more frontal armour than IS7 and with upgraded turret IS4 has much more turret armour. This often resulted with a severe disappointment to people who sold their IS4 to get an IS7.

I see the new russian heavy tree is also split in two:
T-150 > KV3 > KV4 > ST-I > IS4  I believe these are the slow heavily armoured tanks that can take a lot of punishment.
KV-1S > IS1/2 > IS3 > Object 252 > IS7  I believe this tree will be faster, less armoured and basically be what KV1S has been in comparison to KV3 in the current tree.

Also I would recommend that you get KV and research KV2 turret on it. That way you will get both tanks after the change and that means you will be granted one extra garage slot for free.


Also as you said, Hotchkiss is OP, the best XP farmer I ever had. This was my last battle, noobs were praising me as a pro and god of gaming (they just don't know how OP hotchkiss actually is)

Also spoke to one of the mods and he told me that that they will nerf it because many veterans use it to farm Xp and make things imbalanced to the newcomers.

^^ I hit 11 kills in one battle, it was amazing.

I know historically quite a lot about most of the vehicles.

I'm going for the Panther series after I get my Maus.  Only 80,000 XP away.

I don't like the split tech lines for the German heavies.  However, dropping the Panther/PantherII a tier was a great idea.

Splitting the KV2/1 was also great, and bumping some of the Soviet heavies up a tier was good.

This VK4502 is miserable;

The Maus was good before, I played it in beta.  Interesting vehicle.

Still miss my mobile meduims though, and the 10.5cm Ausf B gun.

Forgot about this thread... So I have a dilemma. Currently on PanzerKampfwagen II... Do I get the III or the II luchs?(leaning towards luchs) I also have some Russian artillery bu that only goes one way...

[AceHigh]

Duh, both.

Luchs > Leopard which in my opinion is the best scout game in the game as it is fast, small, armoured and has good cornering ability.

However if you only go in that direction, then you will only be a scout.

Take the line down Panzer 2 and you will end up with high tier tanks like a King Tiger, Panther and a Maus.

I'm debating at the moment.

I've got the VK4502 researched turret / no 128mm gun.

250,000 FREEXP saved.

Go for Maus or Elite my KT?

Or go down medium line?

[AceHigh]

Heh, way to waste money on free exp conversion....

I would wait until the new tree comes out and research E-75 and E-100 instead of Maus.
Also you might consider getting a panther for an extra free tank and a free slot.

Yup.

You don't even want to know how much that 250,000xp conversion was lol.

But it's the only way to grind out on the Hotchkiss and one of my personal favourites, the Churchill.


I'll probably buy up the engines on tiger II and go Panther, they carry over anyway.

[flyawave]

I've decided to get the Luchs>>Panther first, then go Down the mid tank line. Scouting is fun

You find scouting FUN???

That's a first!

[flyawave]

Yeah, those American Mid tanks are shit. I haven't any German Mids yet and no heavies whatsoever. I did play with a friend's Russian heavy. was cool, but no where NEAR as cool as getting across the map at like 60 Kmph, turning at lightspeed etc etc

Probably going to rebuy the VK3002DB, I loved it in beta.  Fast, Agile, armored.

Whats your online name?

[flyawave]

Same as my BBT name. I'm still learning the ropes and stuff, be gentle

Also, British time zone. We'll probs never be on at the same time

Heh, one guy from the clan said that he keeps all his medium American tanks. According to him "why would I ever want to sell them? Those tanks are literally printing money!"

I must admit that T20 is a crafty bastard.

For pure scouting, I still recommend going with a Leopard, and don't forget to put spall liner on it. For mediums in German line, DB is awesome, but even Pz3/4 is ok for it's tier. When it comes to Russian mediums, you have to grind through shitty mediums until you reach T-54. T-43 is especially annoying, as turning almost brings the tank to a halt.

Bought up a VK3002DB today.  it's just as good as I remember; the armor bounces shots from t29 sometimes!

[flyawave]

Ok, bought the Luchs. Holy shit this is fast!

[tomoya-kun]

It's much better than the VK leo.

[flyawave]

Really? The leo is next tier so I'd imagine it to be really good...
