So what's the general attitude here for the MT-25? I only played one battle with it last night to get the x2 xp and won. Not sure if I'll play it much. Damn WG lowered the crews to 90% skill. I need to read up on it some.
It's the russian version of the little leopard, except at tier 6. It's sluggish, loses a lot of speed on turns, and accelerates somewhat slowly. They neutered the tank by giving it a radio man that has 0 skills (have to retrain everything) so you get a nerfed camo and no BIA if you had it originally. It turns like a cougar, weighs almost as much (25 tons: good for ramming little scouts) and retains the 57mm, but doesn't have the awesome derp that the cougar has. Did I mention it bleeds speed on turns?
It's huge. It's like the size of a PZIV, so it can't hide well. It's not a T-50-2, so if you're expecting something similar expect to be disappointed. It has decent view range though, but the tank is sluggish and isn't the kind of scout I want to drive.
I've actually already sold it and shoved the crew into my T-127. The T-71 is superior and can actually do good damage.
I went passed that next .5 percentage cutoff to make 64% over the weekend. If I can keep up my usual w/r of 75%, the number of games it'll take me to improve to the next % start to become staggering. I'll need ~1600 games to get to 65%, and then ~1900 to get to 66%. Oh how I wish I could just delete those first 5,000 or so games where I just fucked around and had absolutely no clue what I was doing.
Besides completely rage quitting Saturday morning after only 5 games, the weekend went decently well. The tier 8 grinding of my KV-4 and ACM48 are seeming to take an eternity. 70k or so away from the Foch and still 130k+ away from the ST-1. I also decided to grind to the 50-100 french heavy, and I'm on the tier 6 atm (ARL I believe). Only about 20k more xp to go there, thank god. The gun not only suffers from low DPM and alpha, but also takes an eternity to aim. I just hope the tier 7 is better.
As a new player, I'm starting to feel like I need to focus on tanks that are good in the T4-T6 range and not drool over T10 beasts.
Can anyone give me general aiming tips? If I have a full front or full side exposed where do I want to center the crosshairs?
I heard it was bad and nothing like the T50-2. Was just curious if had a place in the game at all. I'm guessing many ex T50-2 players will switch to the T71 since its quite good. I'm like 18k xp from the second 4502. I may as well grind that out. Now that arty is less impressive it shouldn't be bad.

must admit that is impressive to me.. i haven't seen a 60% ever in a pub match (not true see a 62% once).. rarely do i even see anything over 55% Im working on 53% myslef.. but im under 2k games.. so 5k before I know what im doing? Actually seems fairly accurate.. I'm still a bit to gung ho yet, im still in the smaller tanks (tier 4 and 5) and get matched with the one shot boys (tier 7+).. massively annoying, last night i was one shotted (front, not rear or sides) in 4 of 9 matches.. makes scouting .. sad.. not a problem im paperbag.. but geez.. give me a tank that can match up -front- for at least 1 shots.. so i can attempt to scout.. this weekend about killed my want to play.. i went 2 for 26... in pubs.. friggin.. hell.. just nice to know I "should" improve with time.. I do feel better when i see 10K game and a win ration under 50%.. im not that bad..
In all honestly, try not to wait till 5k games to start caring like I did. At 53% and 2k games, your actually well above the learning curve at this point.

That will be generally true of all skin mods, and probably most of the websites showing where to shoot. However, if you review those websites, you can learn a lot about the typical vulnerable areas and these are similar between tanks.Great thanks for all the feedback everyone. One thing I'd like to point out is the skin mods that I can find are only for high tier tanks so it doesn't do me any good in T4-T7.

In general, shoot the back and sides, avoid shooting anything angled if possible, and if you must shoot the front of a tank, consider aiming for the bumps/humps/dimples (commanders hatch, machine gun ports, etc).
Oh, and remember that shooting your gun while hidden will probably reveal your position. So taking a shot with no chance of penetrating is often worse than no shot at all.

People call it fail panther for good reason. It wasn't viable in WW2 on paper and there's no way in hell its viable in game either. I see maybe 1 every other day, and mostly during weekends only because people want to do doubles or get crew exp i guess. I mean the gun is good.... for a tier 6. But anything it can do the WZ series can do better, plus those things pack a punch.
The other day I got a 6.7k damage, 5k absorbed game in my E-75. We lost, and I got more exp than everyone, including the winning team. So I guess I was the winner theoretically. Only other person pulling their weight was a unicorn IS-6, dealing over 2k damage before the T95 on the other team shattered him. Sad, because I died to a swarm of IS, T43s that I could've fended off if I could only reload the gun faster.
very sad, but not entirely unexpected. The 12.8 just reloads so damned slowly. I also lost every single game in my E-75 that day, like 6 of them, so I guess MM was rigged against me for winning so much the day before. :awe:

The Panther is fine...use it as a 2nd line sniper...it can also brawl...I did a 1 vs 1 on a map...vs a Leopard (not the scout)...I came away with a damged track...he ran off with less than 100 hp..and he wan't a low stat n00b.
Will find the replay when I come home.
