The Crusader's design idea was to be an assault tank anyways, so its great in its own tier level, but its the WORST to have in a tier 6~ match b/c it can't scout or support or flank.

Finally got the T-28, or whatever Tank comes after the T-46.
KV-1, im going for you!

KV-1 is easily the tankiest tier 5 in the game that the Devs paid way too much attention too, especially in armor details. Its in game model has some weird-ass slopes on its corners so you might not even penetrate its track shields sometimes, and its frontal armor has a habit of bouncing equal and lower tier guns consistently and its matchmaking prevents it from being a hinderance and you'll usually be top of tier.

Just get used to the Heavy Tank playstyle and its awful accuracy, and you'll get steel wall every game.

Do try out the IS line however, if you're going into russian heavies. Their sloped armor is insane and so are their guns.

I usually come across KV players who have no idea what they're doing
When they can't angle even the front of the tank is a weakspot for me

T-28 can be pretty fun anyway, it is a quite useful medium tank just don't try and go too fast
The guns are good and it's very fast for a med but it's size and armour don't often let you take advantage of the speed

Also, be VERY careful with 105 derp users. Even the normal HE shell can pen with full damage.

A series of new WoT screenshots straight from the current supertest

Woah. Amazing attention to detail, and I thought the current WoT was already flashy.

The First "Tank" looks like a real-life Counter Part... didnt they put Tank Turrets and Cannons on Cars?
Sold my T1E6 for buying my T28. Nobody told me it was THAT freakin huge.

Most Allied armoured cars had turrets, notably the Americans had the M8 Greyhound and T17, the Commonwealth countries had shit-tons of tank turrets on their armoured cars. The Germans had one with a Leopard type turret.
Notso, *shakes head*, didn't anyone ever tell you not to sell premium tanks that you can never get back?

It was useless for myself. I never drived it, and i lost with it most Times. I rather play an SPG, TD or Medium rather than Light Tanks.

Seems to me that there's a lotta hate for Hetzers, but I love them.

Also, I heard you wanted more Hetzers.

People hate hetzers because they're so good with that 105 derp. Loved mine, still have it.

People hate everything with the STuH..
But not after the next patch with gold nerf!
AHAHAHAHAH

Although I stopped fearing most of the derp cannon users a while ago, you just gotta know how to identify them and what the best way to deal with them is

It's so easy for anything in tier 5 and above to just ignore though, and to get 1 hit KOs you have to use it like a shotgun.
What's happening with the nerf? D:

The STuH was always a big scare for me in my light tanks anyway

From "For the Record" on what I could find about the gold ammo nerf
- the solution to nerf gold ammo pen and to increase its price was accepted, because "we consider our approach to be correct"
- the reason for nerfing the penetration in 0.8.6 is "malice"
Specific nerf info

I don't know how many people follow FTR so I don't post about these things although it could bring a bit more discussion into the thread
