i'm using a t-44 with 100 mm LB-1 (listed at ROF 8.7 rpm, or 1 round every 6.89 seconds) and 100% crew, coated optics, vent and rammer. using a stopwatch on my phone i measured my actual ROF to be....8.7 rpm or 1 every 6.89 seconds.

so the specs are actually the max possible and not the current effect? LAME. this game is hobbled by the bonehead decision making of the devs/management. it's super frustrating at times.

Use the Sight mod by N0rdis or J1mb0. They have reload timers which work in xx.xx seconds for perfect reload times.

The physics looks awesome. I can't wait to Dukes of Hazard myself off a cliff into the side of a tank with my E-50. They need to add the medal "General Lee"

The AMX 12t with a decent crew (80%+) is hilarious. The perfect gnat to annoy everything, everywhere. I hope the 13's have better gun elevation/depression though.

Ran into a batchat squad yesterday in my lowe.... lets just say it was NOT fun times.

platoon of 3 batchats... yeah..... "melt" doesn't describe how fast my tank exploded.

But on the other hand, I almost killed an amx50b or something in my m7. penetrated it every shot before it blew me away. Earned almost 1000 exp just for that one tank. :D

Oh yeah Batchats are nasty in groups. At the very least these types of tanks force people to work with their team. Going solo simply isnt an option when you can be chewed up and spit out so easily.

I don't mind (killing) the French tanks. I've only made it up to the AMX 12t and I really don't like this tank.

The best thing that's happened to this game in the last few weeks is the significant decline in the numbers of 59's and arty. I still feel like there was more of a nerf to 59's than the published nerfs (MM +1 change). IMO, the 59's just don't bounce like they used to, which is a very good thing.

Feel t-59s are as bouncy as ever. Still deflect lowe's 10.5 on a fairly regular basis and impregnable from the front by everything tier 7 and under for the most part.

either that or people know where to hit the 59s now. it does feel like im getting hit way more often now for damage, on the bright side i haven't been ammo racked in awhile.
not running a WAR atm, using vents/rammer/gld

I'm still not sure where to shoot a t-59 for ammo racking. Side of the turret? I know there's like 2 rounds under the left (?) tracks for some reason. But the chances of ammo racking is so slim i'd rather shoot the much squishier engine compartment rather than the rounded turret...

Approximately 1/3rd of the turret is potential ammo rack fodder.

The rear end of the turret, extending up to about 1/3rd in is just ammo. If I rack something, I tend not to see where I hit but that is the golden place.

There is also a view slot on the right side of the front you can pen and do some serious damage. Left side if you are viewing the tank head on. And as always the hatch.

One of the funniest kills I have ever had in my Type59 was when I pinned another Type59 in that doorway on Himmelsdorf near the flag. He kept trying to shoot my turret, I shot his hatch and killed him. The tears were flowing during and after that kill :D

The biggest change I can tell are Type 59s in higher tier matches. They arent so formidable against Tier 8s and above. Every once in awhile I will get into a lower tier match and go crazy. But I would say 75% of my time is spent being in the middle to lower end of the pack. At that point, I have to actually play the tank instead of mindlessly chewing through the enemy.

Well, I now have world of tanks installed twice, one for the EU and once for the US server (can't use the same client). Decided to go for the german tank tree and the oh so lovely
tier 2 US T-18.

God I love that little machine, quick, 51mm armor, put a howitser on it and it one/two shots nearly all tier 2/3's ... only problem are those damn french tanks...

still at 60% win ratio, so the 110ms lag is not really an issue yet.

Well I improved on my high scoring game last night. Previously it was in my derpy KV on Ruinberg in a tier 7 match. This time it was in my derpy KV on himmelsdorf in a tier 5 match. I got 10 kills, a reaper of 7, bolter's medal, invader, steel wall. I do have to thank the stock T1 for defending the cap until I got back and killed everything. He reset it a few times and then I just nuked everything.

They are having a tank sale on some tanks and half off on 3 and 7 day premium this weekend(3 is the best deal as its the same gold/day value as a 30 day premium). It also looks like gold ammo is going to be half off. So if your getting raped by lower tiered tanks, it might be due to some very cheap gold ammo.

If you look at a T59 turret from the top with the barrel sticking down at the 6:00 position:

The ammo rack would be from the 9:00 to the 12:00 position. Back half of the turret on the left side (facing it) Good T59 drivers (and T43/44/54 drivers) make sure they expose the other side, which I believe has the radio.
