I rarelly used the hellcat's APCR at the time because I was mostly flanking on the maps. The way I saw it, was that the Hellcat changed the meta of the game and having heavy armor and sitting at the base became less important.

Before, when all burgers had to counter tigers were the 76mm M4A1 and M4A2s it was a pain in the ass to kill them, and what I used to do then was fire the first AP shell at the commander's hatch, which killed the commander with the shell, and when the fragments bounced off the other side of the cupola they killed the gunner. It was pretty fun when that worked, since the Tigers didn't have their LFP visible most of the times.

It's a prototype tank with a gun it never had, it will never be added. If they planned on adding it though the asspain would reach critical levels. 120mm sloped at 50 degrees with a 300mm penetration 152mm gun would outclass everything else except for 7.7s.

I can only hope they add the ISU-152-2 sometime.

Now that I actually compare the two, they're giving you the M61 shot's penetration values but calling it straight AP-T. They should have the option to use M72.

>>124778295
they just call it that since there's no 'APCBC' ammo category on planes, you can see the explosive filler and everything on the ammo statistics

>>124778539
You're right, I missed that. You should still be able to use M72, though.

I quit the game for 6 months, and came back glad to see playing Americans is still suffering.

I know it's 'realistic' but it'd be nice if they could balance the game so you have a single fucking chance against aircraft at parity with you. Americans are the only faction in the game with aircraft that absolutely need at least a kilometer of height above their opponent at a higher energy state or you lose 100% of them time. Which might be balanced if American planes could ever get above the enemy but this realism simulator has dorks designed to intercept at 7,000m taking off on runways 30km from krauts designed for burst climb at low alt and japs that get air spawns

Lower glacis is glass so keep it behind cover. Only weak spot on the upper glacis is the MG port so try to limit exposure to the left side if you can. There's a very small shot trap on the bottom of the gun mantlet that you can negate by keeping the barrel aimed down into the dirt, which also protects the fuckhuge muzzle brake.

Keep that lower glacis shielded and you can take punishment from basically everything besides HEAT-FS .

I bought the premium when the generous merchant gave me an 80% discount consumable and I deeply regret it. I have way more fun in my Black Cat so I guess I'll just grind the T32 from it.

They'll have to do something about SB.

They can't have three nations, including a newly released one, versus one alone, especially as Germany is probably the least popular currently.

You can bet it's going to be US, UK and SU vs Germany in SB.
But they'll probably diactivate SB for a while after Teatonks come out. IIRC RB had mixed nation teams and SB was off for a period of time after the release of US tonks.

So did the update fuck up joystick calibration/plane turning?

>Let me state that the 20 pr is the best tk gun we have had so far once my tp spent a week sniping individual CHINAMEN at a range of 3,600 yds with a most satisfactory degree of success. (One morning we got two before breakfast). It will put a shot into a bunker mouth at a 4,000 yds, once ranging has been completed, although it may take up to three shells to put one right in. Therefore 4,000 yds is considered the economic max for pin point shooting with HE.

>However, the fragmentation of the HE round is poor. It appears to fragment in strips the length of the shell. I have seen two Chows bisected nearly at the navel, it's true, but on the other hand I've also landed a shell about six ft from the heels of a fleeing Chow and he showed NO effect other than a surprising degree of acceleration.

it just had a lot of space inside compared to the other tanks, so the crew was more likely to survive

there were no good tanks in ww2

>On one occasion a tk took a run at a steep hill in 2nd gear, got two thirds up and the driver missed his gear on the change down. The tk carried all before it on the way down and, deftly hurdling,a rd cut in the side of the hill, continued up the other side of the gully. It continued to behave like a yo yo until gravity prevailed. A remarkable sight. Beyond an understandable change of colour the crew were unhurt. CENTURIONS CLIMB IN LOW GEAR.

>For the same reason CENTURIONS also cross paddies in low gear. Now crossing paddies is strictly by guess and by God. However, here are a few pointers. You can't tell by looking at a paddy if a CENTURION will cross it It behoves the unfortunate tp/ldr to get out with a stick and prod. I carried one for this purpose (the other end of which was used for stirring the “all in“ stew) in the cleft between the gun mantlet and the turret. Now if this stick strikes hard mud at about 18" depth most of the way across then you have a 50-50.chance. .You then try with one tk. (It is considered bad form to have all tks bogged in, one paddy). If one tk crosses the others try in turn - in different tracks. Paddy bunds are another snag, as they are often hard enough to lift the front of the tk, thus 70% of the traction may be lost. If, you got track-slip on a bund, stop, and dig away the bund with the shovels so thoughtfully provided. This work is made much easier if a gang of local peasants can be found, but be sure you get the shovels back.

I'd like to know too. It sounds a bit far-fetched. During the Six-Day War Israeli gunners only managed to hit targets beyond 1.5 km with their Centurions.

>During the Apr battle the need for a second MG was felt, as angry little men climbed on the top of the tks and beat on the hatches with fists and rifle butts. One answer was to charge through a mud house, but this was NOT thought to be the real answer, as it increased the shortage of houses already made obvious by zealous gunners. It was thought further that it was better to stop people getting on in the first place. Therefore .30 BROWNINGS were obtained, rumour has it at high cost (in gin), and mounted on the comds cupola. This has a dual advantage in that it solved the problem of the angry little men, and also prevented crew comds from being garrotted by signallers, with their customary homicidal tendencies towards tk men.

Panther F (it wasn't even that bad) in Sim and RB along with KT(H) talisman. Got it in few days, since RP gain wasn't so shit back then (105 tiger, Maus and Leopard took me around 3 days for each tank, wtih premium).

You don't really need a talisman for the Panther II grind, but I would get it for M46 if I were you, you'll really wish you had it when you get to using the piece of shit M47. Get one day of premium each day you know you'll play the whole day, if you really want to focus on grinding

yup

You can't make this shit up

They're easily the biggest pain in the ass to deal with, and I play both.
In the T34 I shrug off most hit that would've OHKO in anything else, save for perhaps the hetzer frontally.

>>124823972
you didnt confirm kill, why should you earn points?

really, any excuse to lessen the rp people gain is encouraged by a business model built around painful grind

Is the T32 viable to grind the M47 quickly?

>>124824254
yea

>>124824168
>Save for perhaps the Hetzer

I'm trying to learn the hetzer right now. Su 85 just massacred me in a single shot.

>>124823898
is that AP ammo decent?

>>124824231
>set enemy on fire, he's falling towards the ground
>someone puts a few rounds in, gets the kill
Sure is my fault for not confirming the kill. There's also shit like people trying to shoot through teammates that are closer to the enemy.

>>124824429
nah
I only carry 2 for killing bots

Go fast and never let anyone see your ass EVER.

>>124824402
try not to show your lower glacis and hope they don't shoot it when it is shown

>>124824593
>>124824604
Thanks for the advice. I'm guessing the side armor doesn't ricochet even when angled either as an 85 just took me out at some acute angle. But then again I'm the same anon posting about how good the 85 is so I'm not surprised.

>>124824836
You can pretty much concider your side and rear armor to be inexistent, never rely on it, especially since your ammo is stored on your right side.

>>124824921
Good to know. Again, thanks for the advice.

this wasn't on norway by any chance was it?

>>124825061
Holy shit fuck Gaijin
This is hilarious

>>124825061
all they had to do was add germany's post war tanks to the current cold war sim event and instead they throw in cannon fodder for the commies in the form of paper tanks of course.

>>124825121
No, it was in Sicily a couple of days ago.

>>124825061
so which side is usually winning in this lineup?

is this a joke?

>>124825776
Dunno, gonna fuck around in the PT-76.

At a glance it looks like there's much more room for the non-russian team to get weighed down by tanks that aren't top tier.

Slav supershill Lohere even had the gall to say the Slavs couldn't win in this line-up even if they had T-84 Oplots.
