We all stuck together with a Panther II on the map artic region. The got us all bottled up on the far west path and setup a pretty damn good defense. Just chewed us up and we lost only killing 10 of their 15 tanks.

Yes, but I don't have those tanks. I have tanks like Ferdi, su-152, t29, gw panther, su-8.
I'm closing in on the t32 - cost 2.6m, have 1.6m credits - which I hear I should get to then get t34, because in 7.2 it turns premium and you get it free if you have t34.
I didn't have premium when I posted; it does help, but it's still far slower than having the premium tank.
Got the AMX 12t after grinding for free experience on Type 59. The AMX40 was just too terrible for me to grind it lol
Not bad, sure it will be much better once it is upgraded. Interesting how the turret has vertical limitations. Does this continue down the light\medium line?

You're missing out on the AMX40. It's a funny little tank. Sure, it looks like a moon rover and it takes 10+ minutes to drive to the other flag (15+ with a hill), but on your slow journey, nothing tier 4 or lower can scratch you (except for a few...Hetzer). The "plink, plink, plink" you hear all along the way just makes it all worth it. Then somebody on the other team types "damned AMX's!!!" in chat. Good times.

I would have to check but I could swear the Ferdinand made good money. They are however nothing close to the 100k games the premium tanks do.
You sell all your extra modules?
Just too slow for me. I dont really care that much about being able to take a beating if it takes me 30 mins to get anywhere. I played two games. Took me about 10 mins to get in position to be steam rolled by higher tiers. Sold it and grinded out enough free experience to skip it.
except you're never put into battles with tier 4s. I'm regularly fighting T-29s, KV-3, Tigers... and all of these fucking rip the amx-40 apart. Hell, even the pz 4 blows the crap out of this thing.
Ferdi makes great money with the best gun. It does a crapton of damage, and that is what your credits output is based on primarily.
Yeah, people are finally realizing a good defense can stop a med rush of any kind if they work together. In the beginning I would always suggest a defense in chat before actual play started and now I don't even have to say anything much anymore. People are finally getting it through their thick heads not to rush out when a bunch of T-59s are on the opposite team. Best to lay back and concentrate all fire power on them and then once dealt with then go offense.
All somewhat true. The PZ4 in particular is pretty common at tier 4-5, and it's a very good sniper with that 75mm that easily pens the AMX40. But, I don't think that the AMX40 is in the normal tier 4 light (scouts) matchmaking group. It usually gets matched against much lower tanks than a Leapoard or an M5.

I just had two of my best games I've had in awhile. Got 7 kills on my king tiger, netting me 1750xp and 36k credits(after ammo and repairs). I ammo racked a Type59 from full health. Damn that felt so good. I also had a round on my KV with 8 kills (new top record for me) which got me 1825xp and 45k credits after repairs/ammo.
Overall I've ammo racked two type 59s today from full health on my KT today. Must have pissed those people off.

yea thats why i always try to keep my left side facing the enemy, i never angle my right side, been there done that, been ammo racked twice so far in 2 days
so everyone who got a type59 loved it? And I didn't get one... :/
Wish I'd seen those comments but for some reason firefox on my computer cannot access anandtech or the forums. I just assumed the whole site had been down or something but no, it's just me.

Last 3 days the AT has been hit or miss for me. Particularly at night. I use FF too. They did maintenance one night and site was totally down. Hasn't been 100% since. Often its slow or I get an outright error and have to try again.
Edit: Played a bit over three hours tonight. Mostly in the Slugger. Luck was bad in the other tanks but with the Slugger the MM was decent to me so stayed with it.
ugh wtf some retard in a M4 kept shooting me in the back of the turret on Cliff (me in my vk3601). Apparently he was using autoaim in 3rd person view. So the enemy was actually OUT OF LOS for him and he was just sitting there w/the autoaim engaged firing. What a fucking idiot. I should have killed him myself. christ.
I feel like i should have just plunked down the cash and bought me a 59. I'm only 60k xp away from the E-75 and I still need another 2M credits. Not to mention by the time I get that I'll also have enough xp on my KV to unlock the tier 6 arty which is another 1.4M.
Do the tier 6 artys make good money? The damage potential is pretty damn high, so I assume 2-3 good hits on those should net you a pretty good profit. This of course assumes that the damn scouts dont make it to you at the start of the game.

yes the S-51 makes good money, anywhere from 15-30k for me, i've 1 shot tiger II's.
i'm on premium btw

Had two complete loser platoons in my games last night. First one a 261 friendly fired his own scout on his platoon. He could have supported either flank but instead wanted to "play" with his friends. We lost that game epically.
Second game was on campinova. Our 704 claimed that our derpy KV was in "his" spot. He gave the KV all of 3 seconds to vacate (which I never would have done regardless), then he annihilated him. The KV's platoon mate in a 50x100 began to smack the 704 around and ran out of ammo in his mag when the 704 was at low health. I had to finish the job as an impartial bringer of justice. I leveled my GW Tiger and blew him off the face of the map. The IS-3 then killed me. All the while the 704 was saying how he just wanted his spot.
People can get high tier tanks but man they are still children.

Thanks, thats what I wanted to know. I only played arty up to tier 3 back in the day and I wanted to know if the higher tiers were worth it. The lower tiers sucked since all the tanks in the match were light/mediums which moved too fast to get any type of lock onto. Now that I've almost got enough xp on my KV to move right into the tier 6 arty, I figured I might as well pick up an arty piece just to change things up a bit.
Just remember, the soviet tier 6's suck until you get the 203 on it. Once you do, you are the smiting finger of God. Make sure you purchase at least one AP shell for final defense/TD mode.
Well I still have another 40K xp or so to grind out on the KV before I can get into one of these. I assume the range on both the guns are able cover the entire map. I hope I'll be able to adjust to the aiming and reload times on the arty.
yes you can reach anywhere on the map, sorry i forgot to mention i used free xp to get the 203mm right away, the stock gun is useless.
on another note the 212 seems to have WAY LESS splash damage than the s-51, or is it just me?

The stock gun didn't look all that bad. It has faster reloading and aiming times to offset the lower damage from what I can remember. I'm at work so I can't look, but I doubt I'll have enough free xp to unlock the better gun to start off with.
I did have another epic game yesterday before I quit playing for the night. It was playing my KT on the rail yard map. I went over to our cap to defend against the inevitable T59 rush. After defending the rush, I went and took out the other teams arty and then started capping. In the end it comes down to me in the enemies cap, and a tiger P on his way to defend. We start duking it out, then I notice my cursor is red when I aim at him. I'm like WTF I shouldn't have any problems at all penetrating him, then I look and I'm out of AP ammo! I"m using HE and I only have a few of those left. I duke it out with the Tiger P for a good minute, but with HE I just couldn't do any decent damage to him even on side hits. In the end he killed me, but I still had 8 kills for the match, so I wasn't all that upset. I did go change my AP/HE ammo seletion afterwards though to make sure I dont get in another situation like that.

the problem with the stock gun is the splash range is pitiful and the accuray isn't any better, and faster reloads are useless for arty most of the time unless there's a ton of targets lit up all the time. It's no better than a hummel or grille which is a tier lower. The thing is, when you're in a S-51 everyone expects you to be able to smite everything because of the nuclear missile that is the 203 and if you're not able to do that... you're like a stock IS-4.
