Old Thread: >>6778717

World of Tanks is a Tank MMO in "Closed" Beta (over one million registration worldwide can hardly make it closed). Battles are 15 vs 15.

The /jp/ channel in game is called "/jp/ (Mew)", 10-30 people are usually in it and will answer any questions.

PanzerMoe is all about tanking it easy, enjoying your tanks and having fun with other /jp/ers.

If you're impatient about Beta codes, check with Mmohut or ShatteredCrystal or Alienware for keys, they give them out.

Finally I get to the Pershing!
>second gun barely better than the stock one
>third gun, actually decent, an inordinate amount of exp away, not to mention the suspension
Result: a T23 with slightly more HP that gets matched against, of course, other tier 9s it can't ever hope to hit without APCR.

[Saegrimr !SHIELDM.mE No.]

>>6781959
Yes the A-20 has a higher max speed, but it takes longer to reach its max speed which is usually never hits its top anyway.

It does have better acceleration though, but cant take hits.
And its gun isn't worth a piss.. I've rammed A-20's head on and plopped one shell into the turret and was done. Bounce everything they got.

Its not so much being the fastest, but being the fastest with most utility. Except I still get tracked all the goddamn time.

[Saegrimr !SHIELDM.mE No.]

Well I was gonna ask BOOF for his input, but looking at the HP difference, im not too suprised anymore. I thought VK3601H were on the same tier as my VK3002DB.

I took on two full health 3601's by myself. I came out of the battle with 50% of my health left.

All of my shots were directed at the gun mantlet on them, in the image shows the only shots they got off on me. All my shots penetrated, I think they bounced one shot.

[(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ BOOF ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜) !AWEsomEEEE!!R/52MaMCG2y No.]

>>6781954
A-20 has more top speed, but lower acceleration.

The 4km/h difference the A-20 has over the Leopard does not make up for the sluggish acceleration, turn speed and paper armor. Unlike a leopard which will bounce lots of shots and survive at least two direct hits from higher tier tanks, the A-20 will absorb anything and be killed right away.

The Leopard having 100 more HP makes a huge diffrence. Lot's of high tier guns do over 300 damage and can kill the A-20 in one hit, the Leopard has nearly 400hp

-The Leopard has amazing armor for it's tier.
-The Leopard has a great final gun for it's tier
-The Leopard has better view range then the A-20 (ideal for scouting)
-The Leopard has better radio range then the A-20 (ideal for scouting)

As said yesterday, the side armor is immune to the German heavy tank.

It may be a shitty heavy tank, but a heavy regardless.

Get the upgraded turret and the BL-9 IMMEDIATELY. The 122mm D-25T is absolutely shit as a Tier 8 gun.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6782989
What's the exact effective armor on the T32? I know the IS-3's 110mm glacis plate slopped at 46 degrees makes into around 146mm. That really isn't much to be honest. The side armor on the IS-3 does make up for it a bit, but it's not enough for me to rely on it saving my ass.

[Crix !!nLvSV/0cRma No.]

>>6783011
I was the T32 in your test, so I know.

>>6783049
>>6783059
It still gets penetrated by everything that targets it. Leopards, even.
I think you guys are mistaking turret armor, which is indeed magical, with the actual hull armor.

Shooting at the front of an IS-3 yields mixed results, and shooting at the front of a KT only yields a hit if a miracle gets the shot through the mantle. Hitting the front hull armor of a T32, however, guarantees a penetration.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6783094
Ok then, would you like to answer my post about the T32's effective front glacis then?

So I get into a battle on himmelsdorf with IS-4's and shit as a leopard and notice there is a hetzer on my team.

I run off and scout (die) and chose to spectate the hetzer about 30 seconds into the match.

He's on his way up the hill to the church.

4 minuets pass and just as he is about to hit the top a T-44 hits our base and he turns back to attempt to be of use. Once he hits the bottom the T-44 is killed by an IS and he starts to work his way up the hill again.

The round ends, we win. He has spent the entire round on that hill and never even saw an enemy tank.

This is playing through my head the entire time:

Tiger II has 1400HP
IS-3 has 1310HP

To make things balanced, the KT has to burn at the same rate as the IS-3. According to the file, the KT burns at 1.5% its max HP every second, and the IS-3 burns at 1.2%. That's good enough; .3% won't make any difference in the heat of battle!

Stats on paper isn't an accurate indication for performance in-game. It's been said and proven PLENTY of times - for instance, the T-54 is NOT a god, despite popular belief!

[Anomynous No.]

Stats aren't everything, but a dozen little things end up handicapping one of the tankers.

Yes USA tier 5 med makes slightly more, but also costs 41% more to repair.

The devs could get themselves out of the "Russian bias" problem if they actually tried to defend themselves rather than deleting all threads that call them out.

Hell, I think the only defense they've provided is the fact that there's about 50% German tanks, 40% Russian tanks, and 10% American tanks. Which is very true, after paying attention to the player lists over a dozen or so games.

But what they SHOULD point out is that certain branches excel at certain tiers - not one tree is better than the other across the line. For instance, the Germans DOMINATE low-tier matches, hands down. T5 is the most balanced across the three trees, and T7+ seems to be handed over to the Russians in most cases, IS/IS-4 being the most obvious examples.

Point is, I think the players themselves are reacting too heavily about high-tiers and forget to look at all the other tanks. The devs aren't helping in any way by refusing to counter this argument and antagonizing the player base. I honestly don't know if this game will fare well, if the devs keep up this sort of attitude toward their customers.

wow the maus gets more games than the tier 8 american medium.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6784790
Because there's a reason to get to the Maus. The T23 is simply a T20 with a few more hitpoints.

How many US players do we have in Panzermoe?

I have to admit, I really can't argue against this one, mainly because I've personally had the exact OPPOSITE experience! In the KV, I simply could NOT gain more than 15k+ credit gain. In the T-34 I could, but had no chance in T8 matches. PzIV had the most consistency for me, with around 15k average. As for the Sherman (my favorite tank in the game), I can easily rack up 25k+ credits a game, and have even racked up 46k in a T8 match.

Also, couldn't it be that the lower a tank costs to repair, the HIGHER its on-paper number will be? It's that way with visibility and accuracy. Also, US tanks are well-known for being very cheap to repair. Not to mention you're comparing a Heavy to a hardcore Medium and a Scout Medium.

Get the KV-2 turret and 152mm M-10 then derp your way to the top. Just land one good hit on a Tier8 with an HE round boom, that's like 20k credits right there with premium account.

bullshit, the only low tier german tank worth a damn is the luch and marder, the americans have the best t3 medium, light, and artillery.

>>6784823
because the t23 is a piece of shit for it's tier
the t20 was great for a tier 7 medium, but when you go a tier higher and your gun shoots maybe 1 round a minute faster, and a minor increase in front armor, and maybe less acceleration (it's hard to tell without testing it and I had different modules) also I was never ammo racked in the t20, and it happens a bunch in the t23. not to mention OUR FUEL TANKS HIT.

AT-1+PzJg 1 are on even grounds but can take out most enemies with 2-4 shots, the Hotchkiss has god-damn plasma shielding, the Pz38(t) might as well be an MBT for low-tier matches, and the Bison 1-shots most tanks on the field. What's there NOT to love?

The PzII-PzIII route, on the other hand, is another story altogether!

[Crix !!nLvSV/0cRma No.]

>>6785272
the at-1 is far superior

>the Hotchkiss
what

>and the Bison 1-shots most tanks on the field
so can the t-57, and shoot twice and fast and has twice the armor and half the height. I heard they nerfed it though.

>Pz38(t)
Yes, this is a good tank.

I dunno, I've had equal success with both TD's.

Hotchkiss = German light prem. You know, the one that can only be killed by a lucky rear shot, a SPG, or a TD? Anything T2 and below is mincemeat, and it has pretty good survivability against T3 as well. You should try it out more!

[Crix !!nLvSV/0cRma No.]

>>6785398
I have one, it's rear armor is the same as it's other sides, and it has a huge weakpoint right in the front, the driver's viewport isn't armored.

It's still a good tank though

[Anonymous No.]

Let's talk about fine aiming for a second. Disregarding the hitboxes on the inside of the tank and the aiming device and gun, what targets represented on the exterior of the tank are acceptable to shoot?

For example, the driver's machine gun cupola, the weird circular hatches on the sides of the VKs, the peep sight next to the cannon barrel, etc. Is thinner armor actually represented here or is it better to just shoot at the most perpendicular surface available and hope for a hit?

I'm not looking for numbers, just experiences.

PzJgI: 52.8% win rate
AT-1: 52.7% win rate
Dem guns, man. Dem high tier guns. That said:
T32: 55.0%
The highest win rate that week was the T32? What?
German Premium Medium: 42.5%
Lowest ends up being a french tank.
Interesting overall, but my argument was over the balance of the T9 Mediums which this was created before.

What mods do you guys recommend I get for my SU 26? I've been using the 126 howitzer for great efficiency for an aggressive forward-pushing arty, and have put on a camo net.. what else would be best?

[Anomynous No.]

>>6786179
If you don't mind the investment (1.1M credits for both, and it's locked to the tank), an enhanced gun laying drive to reduce aiming time and the large artillery shell rammer are both good investments on an SPG.

>>6786195
Hmm.. How much of an improvement is the SU-5 over the SU-26? I'm making most of my money from the 26 at the moment since I can kill pretty much anything, but if the SU-5's a better moneyspinner...

Nah not worth it, just grind up to the school bus.
500k modules in low tier vehicles are a waste since you don't drive them for very long.

[Anomynous No.]

>>6786202
Oops, SU-26. The camo net is all you should need. The turret on it already gives you a significant advantage in aiming time (no hull traverse decreasing accuracy). The locked upgrades are vastly too expensive for it.

The SU-5 has its upsides, but the largest gun has the most pitiful ammo capacity in the game (14 shells, can fire them all in a little over two minutes). I ended most battles by arty scouting because I had no ammo left. I'd strongly suggest sticking to the 122mm when you get it.

After you edit the names you want, just save and it will create an .mo file too. Place the .mo in the /LC_MESSAGES folder, and that's all. If your custom crewmen has 1 name (Koakuma for example) just use a space for the first name and edit the second.

Assuming you mean the SU-26; Not particularly. It's a lot of grind for not a lot of benefit. The last 10% (From 90 to 10) is somewhere around 36,000 experience when I last measured it.
