That's because PvE enemies love to expose themselves. It makes you completely forget about the concept of "patience".

You can't prove that as there's no way to see who's in a clan that I'm aware of. And all of the GuP clans haven't been /vg/ based for a long time.

>>120889757
they're "ok", which is to say they aren't worth much on their own compared to an autocannon.

imho fox should be the top tier AFV just because it can use both, not to mention its 30mm cannon is technically the exact same one mounted on the tier 8 warrior

>>120890058
The vbl missiles are kinda ok ignoring the fact the fact do less damage in 4 missiles than the fox does in 2, but no one could possibly think there wiesel's single shitty missile is anything other than a joke, especially when half it's targets have anti-missile systems.

But yeah, should go vbl -> wiesel -> fox

wish I could specify how much gold I really want to buy in this game like that other other game

>30mm grenade launchers are treated as SABOT firing autocannons in this game
Stop that, AW

God damn challenger I is shit. It's somehow slower than the Chieftain with an even worse gun, especially for the tier. That and it has just as many glaring weakpoints as the chief.

>>120891813
its actually okay. it plays exactly like the chieftan and its top engine is better. turret traverse is a lot better too.

that being said, its still probably the least competitive tier 7 MBT for raw damage. doesn't mean its a bad tank itself though

now the ariete on the other hand is a mediocre tank and their positions should be switched, with ammo upgrades to match

they should've done that way back in CBT because pve maps are suitable for pvp\pve, and pvp maps are suitable for a trash can

also did I mention invisible fucking walls just chilling in the air? ever tried standing at 7-9 lanes on the south team and trying to shoot at someone just a bit to left or right of the smoke pipes? how the fuck did this get playtested? I hope the person who designed pvp roughneck gets asscancer

>>120908914
>desu

MOOOOOOOT

>>120909008
>i mean for fuck sake its ATGMs cant even penetrate a fucking t-64 frontally

Its missiles penetrate 428mm armor.

T-64 has 432mm on its turret vs shaped charges, 308mm vs shaped on its hull. You just need to stop shooting the damn thing on the turret. You can still penetrate the turret if you land the shot on the sight right of the gun on on the surround of the gun.

Alternatively fly it slightly over, forward of and above the tank then drag downwards sharply, tanks have significant less armor from above, you will frequently ammorack people doing this.

Buts its far easier to just shoot the hull, especially given that T-64's cant exactly shoot from hull down given that they have little gun depression, so they will be almost always be presenting their hull.

>>120909008
>>120909512
I should add to that, NEVER, EVER shoot the missiles at the tank directly from launch. Angle them off by about 45 degrees at launch then curve them in, this gives the tank far far less warning time of an incoming missile.

>>120915408
Yes, because an AFV that's almost as slow as a MBT that doesn't have a turret, which cant fire while moving and has to be stationary for 2 seconds before even attempting to fire, after which you are immediately spotted, the enemy gets an incoming fire alert AND you have to still manually guide the missile in for another 2-4 seconds for less damage than ANY OTHER TANK in the same tier.

Yeah no, it's a really good tank, it must just be me.

>>120915408
not to mention that due to the way ATGMs work it is impossible to fire at anything thats in medium-close range and on the move.

And oh, whats that? A wide gap in the enemies defense line that you want to use to get rid of the artillery? OH WAIT YOU CANT EVEN DO THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO FUCKING BECOME STATIONARY TO ENGAGE THE ARTY THAT CAN ONE SHOT YOU

Your fault for poor positioning.

>AFV that's almost as slow as a MBT
Its accelleration is far far faster. It crosses poor terrain far quicker.

>doesn't have a turret
doesnt need one, you can fire behind you no probs.

>which cant fire while moving
So? I stop to fire in my MBT's so I dont have a shitty huge bloom. whats the difference there?

>stationary for 2 seconds before even attempting to fire, after which you are immediately spotted
your fault for choosing a fucking dumb place to park up then.

>the enemy gets an incoming fire alert
You dont fire directly at them at launch, you fire off-axis and curve them in. This gives much less warning.

>still manually guide the missile in for another 2-4 seconds for less damage than ANY OTHER TANK in the same tier.
You do know that you load two missiles at once right?

Basically what you're saying is "it doesnt work the way I want it to therefore its shit", which is dumb as hell. Its certainly not as good as it was in EA4, but its certainly not the worst T4.

>>120916071
>BECOME STATIONARY TO ENGAGE THE ARTY THAT CAN ONE SHOT YOU

Why can the arty see you? It has a dire view range. Again, shitty positioning on your part.

>>120916071
>THE ARTY THAT CAN ONE SHOT YOU
Dude, you're having WoT PTSD flashbacks again.

>>120915724
It has great view range, the best camo in the game, doesn't give a shit about depression, has a volley of 600+ damage, and can guide it's missiles into weakspots so it pens on almost 100% of shots regardless of range.

>>120916908
And how many locations in maps allow you to make use of anywhere close to 500m view range?

>>120917259
More than enough to use the swingfire

>>120917351
Yeah, in a few very select locations. In Lost Island you can only do anything with it around some places on the edge of the map, in Reactor its worthless outside the bugged north spawn areas.
I do think the swingfire is good, but 500 view range on anything is usually pointless in most situations. It also has some serious drawbacks late game depending on what's left on your team.

>>120917259
All of them.

>>120917658
lol

Why do people not like playing arty? Its chill as fuck, just sit back and plink away at MBT pushes, toss out your smoke shells to help your buddies out. Ammorack some MBT's because their ammo is in the turret (always rage inducing, for them).

>>120917939

Because some people like actually having any impact on the match at all.

>>120917939
Doesn't feel like I'm being useful. I feel like arty needs to be a bit stronger than where it is, but I also don't want WoT sky cancer

>>120917939
The M109 is OK. The gvosdika, however is fucking shit. Literally the only advantage it has is aim time. It is sheer hell to play that garbage. Slower shell travel speed, and less damage, which OE retard thought that was a good idea?

>>120917243
>doesn't give a shit about depression
you still have to stare at the target in sniper view, and that still has depression limits, so you still cant fire at anything when you are at an awkward angle.

also your "volley" is 6 seconds apart in which time the guy you're shooting at constantly has a ATGM warning flashing in the middle of his bloody screen. It is extremely unlikely to hit both missiles on anything thats not caught out in the open.

>can guide it's missiles into weakspots
lol do you really believe that you have any kind of precision control with the bloody things that launch into the air at a random angle to a random height?

>>120916908
>for what purpose?
thanks for confirming that the tank is completely useless in all situations that don't involve a 500 meter clear line of sight

>So? I stop to fire in my MBT's so I dont have a shitty huge bloom. whats the difference there?
lol

>You do know that you load two missiles at once right?

it's like you are arguing for a tank that you have never played before.

This is several times worse than WoT babbies desperately arguing that the ridiculously overpowered premium tanks are fair, at least AW doesn't even attempt to hide that by simply ONLY placing T4 premium tanks into T3 only matches.

And how insecure must this fanbase be to completely deny every complaint about a clearly broken ass tank just so their little bubble doesn't collapse.

Anyway, fuck you guys, i'm off to play the better tank game, which is neither of the above mentioned.

>>120918112
>and that still has depression limits
No, it fucking doesn't

>lol do you really believe that you have any kind of precision control
Do you even know how missiles work? Hold it where the pen marker is green and it will hit every time.

>>120918037

I don't think it should be stronger overall, but the different vehicles should be comparable. Like: >>120918072

M109 is fine, it's not hugely strong, and doesn't massively impact the game, but a class that can't be hit shouldn't. It prevents it becoming a shitter crutchwagon like in WoT. They definitely shouldn't become more powerful at the expense of consistency.

>>120918112
>deny every complaint about a clearly broken ass tank
I legitimately think the swagfire is the best t4 tank, and I'm sorry you don't understand how to use it effectively.

>>120918374
Another huge problem is down to MM. If your WR is even remotely high, MM will plonk you down on the team as likely the best player. Good luck carrying in an arty, especially on shitass maps like Lost Island.

>>120918679

I'm pretty sure Obsidian has stated that "skill based MM" is not in the game anymore.

>>120918783
You have a source for that?

>>120919167

One of the developers on the forum said it but I'm way too lazy to dig it up so I guess I'll retract what I said.

>>120917985
>like actually having any impact
Deleting tanks currently out of sight from the rest of your team, countering enemy arty, bitchslapping thinly skinned vehicles and tossing out assist shells (smoke, illumination), and crippling enemy mbt's ability to move (I use the +fire +module damage guy) becasue your shots always break tracks.

This isnt useful?

>>120918037
>Doesn't feel like I'm being useful.
I always feel I'n being useful, I usually tag along with the MBT pushed, about 300m back from the tail end. Ensures I have a good line of sight on whats ahead and also ensures theres buddies nearby to help is some AFV turns up.

They always seem to love the smoke and illumination shells.

>>120918072
>The M109 is OK. The gvosdika, however is fucking shit.
I actually preferred the Gvosdika to the M109. Aims super fast, moves faster, traverses faster. I stack it with +reload and + aim time retrofits also, takes about 2.5 secs to fully zoom the reticule. I do travel with the push though, not stay at base, so I dont notice the shell travel time as much as some other people might i guess.

I don't understand what people think the benefit of staying at base is? It doesnt help vs counterbattery, and it means you're all on your own should you need support.

>>120918679
>Another huge problem is down to MM. If your WR is even remotely high, MM will plonk you down on the team as likely the best player.
I dont mind that, it usually means there a lot more things on the map that your shells will do much higher damage to. I don't see it happening very often though and I'm at 65% WR, overall.

>>120918783
Nonesense, when i started playing i had like a 6 game winstreak and i was put into tier 2 - tier 3 games as tier 1 even at peak hours, until my W/L went down to around 50%

>>120919437

Uh huh, and?
My winrate started out at ~65%, fell down to 58% after a few dozen games, and now it's back to a more stable 63% and rising.
Small sample sizes mean shit. Even my current 63% means nothing unless I can keep that ratio at 2k+ battles.

Whats the differences between the BMD, BMP and Swingfire tech trees? They all seem to fill the same role.

Is any one of them clearly better? I think i enjoy this type of gameplay these trees provide, but i guess i need to commit and pick only one of em.

>>120924484

It doesn't really handle like you'd expect a wheeled vehicle to. Feels like it's driving on ice.

>>120925579

BMD >>>>>> BMP = Recon

The BMD line has some fantastic vehicles, great camouflage, great speed, amazing firepower, and actually has 2 tier 8s at the moment.
The recon line has vehicles that you will either love or hate and ends with the Wiesel. No tier 8 currently. They have better camouflage, view range, and mobility than the BMP/BMD line but have WAY worse firepower.
The BMP line is basically just a gimped version of the BMD line. They're "better" than the recon line because they still get good firepower, but they're the "worst" line in the sense that the choice ultimately is between the recon line for pure scouting or the BMD line for pure firepower, while the BMP line is just worse at either than both of them.

>>120926081

I didn't say that was a carry, I said my team was pretty fucking horrible.
If you look at how much damage everyone else on my team did you'll notice that me and my platoonmate did more damage than everyone else on our team combined.

We didn't carry shit, we just couldn't believe a team could do so bad.
Hell, the T-90 didn't even do 1/3 of my damage and he's an MBT a tier higher than me. The T-90 on its own is OP as shit just like the BMD-4 so he has absolutely no excuse.

>>120926145
Yeah, definitely fun. But damn it has a mind of it's own sometimes.

>>120926372

ATGMs are good at tier 5, then shaped charge modifiers on MBT make them pretty shit at tier 6.
At tier 7 the BMD and BMP's missiles are godlike and only 1 same-tier vehicle has APS.
At tier 8 it's utterly hopeless to use a single-shot. The only tier 8 that even has a chance of dealing damage with its ATGMs is the Ramka, and it still loses at least 1/4th of its total damage if an enemy has APS.

To give you some pointers on how horrifying APS is:
The T-90 starts out with APS when stock, meaning at best you can sling another missile at it after APS shuts it down and at worst it is completely immune to ATGMs if it hides like a bitch between APS cooldowns.
APS can activate in groups. If 3 tanks in a pile have ATGMs and you fire a missile, it only activates the APS of ONE of them. In the case of the Ramka, you can end up firing your whole salvo and have them all be destroyed by APS.
And the most fun part of all: did you know APS can activate even if the vehicle that has it is not actively being targeted by a missile? And that it can activate even when the vehicle is not spotted?

What? I play all solo in tier 8 AFVs of all things on PvE hard and as you can see from my winrate it's pretty fucking hard to lose.
The only times I can remember clearly losing are either due to the enemy capping the point and everyone was too lazy to decap or everyone played like an utter retard and I couldn't carry them hard enough.

The armata will probably have lazers that knock out all incoming ATGMs.

I was intending to stop at the bagel and fox, I guess I'll stick to that plan.

I take it unlimited APS is a huge advantage to the version limited to 4 charges, even with the increased reload time?

>>120927550

>Do ATGMs get any faster, or does their speed stay at 200 m/s?
Stuck at 200m/s. The only good news is that tier 6 introduces tandem missiles which ignore ERA, but so few tanks have ERA to begin with that you might as well ignore it.

>>120927939

>I take it unlimited APS is a huge advantage to the version limited to 4 charges, even with the increased reload time?
Yes, because it works identically to active APS. You'd think passive would just redirect the missile away from the tank, and while it does that... your missile is destroyed after it's guided away.
Unlimited APS also doesn't stick out on your tank so you can tell which have it or not, unlike active APS which gives you a huge streetlight which they can also be spotted from.

>>120927809

>T5 on hard
You should stick to medium then. Hard is pretty much reserved for tier 7 and 8.

Why is this game so poorly optimised?

>>120951270
At low tier you can just pack all HEAT and plow through anyones armor anyway, given that even that MBT's dont have a SC multiplier before tier 4.

I was asking when that situation stops?

Anyone feel like the fox doesn't have enough missiles? I almost always run out.

>>120951270
That's true, but at higher tiers, even AFVs get shit like ERA and at long range it's almost always better to just fire a couple of AP rounds into them.
Tier 5 is the last tier you can get away with loading mostly HEAT, but you can't even do that because of all the t6 spam.

>people using HEAT in PvP

Are we engaging the same people? The only way I can snapshot people fast enough while staying safe and at exposed weakspots is with AP. HEAT is just way too slow to hit the speedyfast AFVs or jiggling MBTs.

>finally give in and get an arty to get the good commanders
Feels too ez.

Whoever made it so that when you repair your engine, you don't automatically start moving again, should be taken out behind a shed and shot repeatedly

I'm almost done with the T-64. Are the T-72 and the T-72A really bad ?

>>120970551
If you relied on your turret armor on the tier 2-4 tanks in the same line then you're in for an unpleasant surprise. It's probably best to wait for the balance patch that's supposed to come soon™.

>>120969282
so, no?

I just cannot get light tanks or tds to work in high tiers. It feels like if you aren't an afv or mbt, you are a second class citizen

>All my boosts just gone despite saying they had 9 hours left

im mad

>>120960595

People forget just what PS2 looked like.

>>120972052
Light tanks have been nerfed to fuck. High tier MBTs are what LTs were plus armour.

>>120976062
The mbts mobility is so ridiculous at higher tiers
>turret traverse is 30+
>can reverse at 30km/h
>can hit 60 km/h going forward
If you are an lt or td, it's almost impossible to pen them frontally at range because you have to hit these microscopic weak spots. And when you managed to get around them (which is hard on most maps with 15+ players), they just turn and murder you. To add salt to it all, most mbts have almost as much view range as lts/tds.

>>120978503
Don't forget that MBTs also gain point defence lasers because we can't have ATGMs damaging them.

tfw have no clue what I'm doing and not looking in too deep into the games mechanics and just playing both PvE and PvP at random

>>120978762
Yeah, the only reliable way to pen then frontally at range gets negated by an automatic neutralizer

Which is the best tier when it comes to balance?

Tier 3? There are several weaker tanks at that level but none are outright trash or completely superior compared to everything else.

I can't believe people actually like the bagel. It's an AFV without the camo and twice the size.

yes?

After 5 shit teams i got a good one

>>120980920
Would you care to repost your "superior" stats?

>>120979583
3 is probably the most overall fun tier. 4 is good too but it starts to fray plus you get put into tier 6 battles often.

>>120981528
>Shitter hasn't even counter battery'd. lmao guess why you got 5 losses? Cause you rely on your team to carry your fat useless ass.

>>120982131

literally 1 step above botting in terms of usefulness, such a waste of time

>>120982631
Pls stop being so bad.

>>120982772
I'm not even dregbag, Why would you take the time to try to do damage that probably won't connect when you could be putting damage into MBTs? retarded

>>120982893
>Why would you take the time to try to do damage that probably won't connect
Making so that the other arties won't target MBTs/TDs, therefore making them lose focus at best or rout at worst. Yes, there are MBT players that fucking rout once they get hit by arty.

>>120983323
>taking my own utility out of the game in order to attempt to take the other arty's utility out of the game

amazing logic, I'm sure everyone will be thrilled to see your 200 end game damage and the enemy's 2000+

>>120983572
>in order to attempt
Oh please. Countering in AW is stupidly easy, as the dumfucks that play arty usually always fire from the same spot.

>>120983968
>usually

>>120969845
I hope you typed GEEEEET DUNKED ON! in allchat after that. I do that after big hits when playing arty. The sheer amount of butthurt you normally get after is glorious.

>>120984108
"STOP CAMPING!!!1111" tends to work pretty well too.

>>120984098
You're right, it's almost always. You even get to see their exact position in the minimap. And the vehicles that fire get rendered even if they aren't spotted for five or so seconds which is plenty of time for nailing them.

>>120983968
No they don't. It's pretty rare now to find one that sits still. Most have also copped on to the large cover near most spawns as well.

>>120984221

Are you on RU? I really find it hard to believe that the average non RU player learnt to fucking move after shooting.

>>120985010
>RU higher skill than NA

You understand that NA was the highest unicum per capita server in world of tanks right? The same is most likely true of AW given that there was a migration of skilled players from wot to aw. Having a server where everyone speaks the same language generally helps people share knowledge, which is why EU will always be filled with the worst players thus will be the easiest server to play on.

Why are WoT players so fucking incompetent?

What am I meant to do in the Leopard 1?

I thought it might have something to make up for the lack of armour, but it doesn't seem to.

>>120985719
How about top NA clans getting their anuses dilated by EU literally whos. How about E-sports shit being dominated by vatniks. How about you get a tripocode so I won't have to put up with your stupidity, Tioga.

are most consumables really crucial and necessary?
