the tier 10 Chinese medium is nuts. a little worse DPM than the T-62A with much better alpha and better hull armor. it'll be in very high demand for CW. the tier 10 heavy is pretty good as well, it seems like a copied IS-4 that is slightly better in every way. but i'll definitely be picking up the medium and may even free xp it.
Yeah but people know a lot more about how the spotting system works. It's like WoW, a lot of stuff didn't make sense until the playerbase figured out the mechanics. Wargaming devs are getting better about answering questions about those types of things, but they can still be arrogant and secretive when it comes to some topics (hidden stats, credit multipliers, "historical accuracy" etc).I've been away since the beta ended way back. I ground my way to the top of the russian and german TD lines. Looks like I'll be doing it all over again. How's the overall game play been? Invisible tanks still an issue?
Trying to update the game at just over 4 gig. The first 1.5 went quick, now it's crawling. I should have it by easter.

i wouldn't be surprised if it gets changed down the road, but if you consider this a continuation of the 8.2 test server where the chinese tanks first appeared, it got a significant dpm buff. this will also be the only 8.3 test server iteration barring any critical technical bugs, so we are most likely looking at the final stats for the chinese line.They typically nerf things as they release updates. All of the tier 10 mediums and TDs (cept for american tds?) got nerfed in the public test.

From what I've seen on the test server the wz-121 is on paper more sluggish than the type, but it has better ground traction so it performs equally well on terrain as the t62. So clan war focuses more on brawler type mediums, or are they looking just mostly for fast mediums in general to light up tanks for arties to hammer down?
Makes sense, a group of batchats or 62s can really tear things up if they get a good flanking in.
Got my patton yesterday and free exp'd the tracks and the gun. The thing is like a bigger/better pershing in every way shape and form and is super fun to drive. The gun depression is as good or better than the pershing, and the gun can really hurt stuff... despite the fact that it's not accurate at 400m. Don't have the good turret or engine yet so the tank feels a bit sluggish and is 100 hp short. My win rate is terrible in it though, tier 9/10 is pretty much a crapshoot with who has the most accurate arty.
I'm using it as a heavy combat scout with coated optics, rammer and vents at the moment, and its nice to be able to see almost 500m out... but I'm not seeing the much touted accurate firing on the move many people rave about. I realize I don't have the vstab but it shouldn't make that much of a difference...
I don't know what they changed in 8.2, but I'm about 100 games in the hole since the release. It's unbelievable.
If you figure it out, clue me in.. I was 54% win.. got a new batch of tanks (I do pay prem for EXP) and all that stock stuff dropped me to 51%, as i slowly upgrade i was back to 54%.. in the last few weeks.. im back to only 60 games on the plus side and 51% again.. I average 2 kills a match.. and Im only into tier 5 (already have another account to tier 10, prefer the lower level battles). one thing really bugging me is go down through my tanks and almost all are 52-56% win ratio.. then you get to crap like the Chruchhill, even fully upgraded I'm 28%, and the much loved EMX.. 19%!!!! I do know I suck with fast tanks.. and that EMX has no turret so its pure speed and nothing else to me..I can live with that.. but the Church can take a beating.. and I'm almost top 5.. I have to face it I just suck with it.
I really hate to quit.. and I'm not going clan battles again.. no interest in that again..
ya.. been a bad couple of month in WoT.. needed to vent to the net.
