Re: Royal Equestrian Armored Division

I sold my churchill 1 (I like the churchill 3 more anyway and put a historical skin on it) and bought an AT-2. This may or may not be amusing.

AT2 is <3 All praise to AT2.

I'm so sick of hearing "it bounced off".

Aim for the cupola. It's a nice feeling when you're forcing an AT-2 to retreat with a T-34.

What's that? I'm not familiar with the tank parts. My knowledge is pretty much limited to the treads.

Just got the T95.
It is definitely well armoured, eating shells to the sides and most not even bothering with the front, but a SH spall liner will help a lot with the artillery.
Can't wait to get the 155, but that will take an eternity.

Thank you Robo. I learned a thing today.

So, uhm...

So, the E-25...

It feels like riding in an ELC with actual armor (though not enough to protect you from the kind of things you'll encounter at that tier, the front is surprisingly bouncy) and a gun that's actually able to do damages: though it trades its superior rate of fire for a slightly inferior pen', 135 vs 170 for the ELC, there's no contest for raw DPM in favor of the E-25: 2700 vs 1200. It's also laser-accurate, and unbelievably fast to aim.

8 games so far, 75% winrate,

10/10, would fuck the exhaust pipe.

[Ketchup]

Sounds like the Comet, but better in literally every single way aside from the lack of the turret and HP of a medium. Heh.

Also so far I've rarely done less than 10k credit profit. Most of my games were around 15k credit profit.

And the crew is being trained fucking fast, too: counting my 1st of January 5x Xp bonus match of 3000 XP, and the current 2x bonus on crew experience there's going on, in a bit more than ten matches my commander went from 50% to 70% training. And the other crew members saw a similar gain in experience.

So it seems it also work great as a crew trainer (most of my games achieved over 450 XP).

[hawkeye92]

Bear in mind that the cupola of the AT-2 is still 101mm thick so for tier 5 tanks it isn't often a reliable weakspot withough apcr.

Also congratulations on making 50% Harmony. It took me about five thousand games.

So checking FTR a bit, there's this nice news

Almost all Tier 10 TD's will be getting nerfed. The most common one being they go from 850 alpha to 750 alpha.

Some will recieve a ROF boost to compensate, however it's important to note that they said this ROF boost was going to be tiny.

ie - They're losing both alpha and will have a lower DPM as well, despite having a ROF boost.

All I can say is 'finally.'

Well, I also checked and I registered on May 2011. So I suppose that makes me an "old player" anyway?

Man I remember the version 7.x was a big pile of shit. That's why I stopped playing for almost a year, then. That and the fact that the quality of play at the lower tiers (which was what I was playing, as a beginner) was simply abysmal. I mean, even more than nowadays.

[StoneSlinger88]

If I'm in a Tiger II, and another pubbie in a Obj. 704, and we have to scout in a Tier IX match... There's something very fucking wrong with our mediums.

[StoneSlinger88]

Got Top Gun. In an ELC.  

[Valikdu]

Hey.



As this one is specifically named the Krupp Grosstraktor, I assume that there'll also be two other variants (Rheinmetall and DB). And if so, the DB one might even have a 15cm gun... No idea how that all will work   

[Valikdu]

Sometimes people on the other team are idiots, too.

Just now, I've killed a T-34 with my Pz.S35 1 on 1. He could've just blown me away with 3 shots, and resisted even my APCR shots with his front, but he'd let me just shoot his sides at my leisure. And then a Pz. IV just presented his ass to me while I wasn't even moving much (the other guy had shot me before dying and knocked out the driver), and I set his engine on fire and took half his HP. Granted, then he shot a 105mm round and killed me, but I'd already made a difference far greater than my own tank.

[RoboRed]

Thoughts?

[Fuzzy]

Priceless pic!

Also, ASAP revealed 8.11 is bringing one of the most wanted things. Nation vs Nation game mode.

This is going to bust wide open balance entirely. Will considered UP nations work better as a whole? Will the considered OP nations be even more so? Can you imagine facing 15 KV-1S' with only ARL-44's?

Regardless, this will be awesome. If only for the visual awesome of seeing 100% nation based teams and seeing proper masses of similar tanks.

[Valikdu]

I want this.

[RoboRed]

[StoneSlinger88]

Can I get one game today where I don't have to fucking scout in a goddamn Tiger II?

[Fuzzy]

I want this.

The hell even is that? A PzIII turret on a...Stuart?

[Valikdu]

Not a Stuart, it's a PzI with a wood gas generator.

[Fuzzy]

Oh you crazy Germans.

[StoneSlinger88]

Patrol Duty with an E-25, along with five kills.... The thing just shits credits and XP.
