Btw tip to everyone. Don't try your luck on the french SPG's. They are just utterly horrible. TD's are fine thou.

Batchat has mad firepower :< But most Meds already outperform their same tier heavy counterparts. So i think T10 meds will be the ultimate rape.

Didn't even bother, got a TD though. It's the only French armor I have  :D

I found it quite surprising they are using the same matchup system for that attack/defend mode. I assumed they would give the attackers higher tier tanks and maybe more tankdestroyers for the defenders. Something like that.

Though I have to admit I have managed to lose some of those maps as defender. And won some as attacker. Still it seems that defenders generally have the upper hand, as one would suspect.

Defenders only lose if they are stupid enough to attack the attackers. Then they lose their advantage. Otherwise a good defense is pretty much impenetrable ..

Except in Sand River. You basically have to attack as defenders otherwise the attackers will gain the 2 overwatch positions which are at the normal mode bases.

There are more maps were defending is not wise. Think 2 of them you start on a hill. And since the hills have no cover and the attackers do its pretty fun to see the tanks on the hills go down one by one.

Playing the PZ38(t) and the T46 trees is like begging a hooker for a bj on the floor while repeatedly getting bit in the dickhole by ants

Hello  ;)

since my FH2 is broken (well PB is...) I decided to install this game to see.

I managed to get to PIV. Is it a good choice ?
I also kinda like the hetzer, how is the stug in comparison ?

I tried the T26 and it was just awful, T46 is also a disappointment for now =/

Hey hey hey, you look familiar  ;D

P4 is a good tank depending on how you want to play it, can play sniper, or close up doom machine

Hetzer is fun, it bounces many shots, STuG doesn't bounce many shots, but the firepower is good if you play it right. I thoroughly enjoyed Ger TDs.

Yes, T-46 sucks.
I just got the best gun for it, and have everything but the engine, radio, and useless autocannon. (and obviously next trees)  Its fast and evens out at 52km/h with the stock engine and good tracks. Can penetrate some things, but you are better off playing hawk behind a heavy like a KV to swoop in and steal kills/hits.

Goodjob on the P4 though, how did you managed to sanely get past 38nA? I've just got it and am upgrading it, but dislike it a ton.

Hmmm I've spotted some 38nA with "FH2" on it yeah...

Aha, I just played round after round (something like 80) to grind enough XP with this tank. The main problem I got was that I always was against higher tier tanks. The 50 mm couldn't penetrate anything and scouting was generally short lived. But against low tier it was really fun.
I agree though, it was really long and frustrating.

On the other hand I really have fun with my elite 38(t). Mostly ending in low tier matches, I found the 47 mm just insane for sniping.


For the t-46 I went for the 76 mm gun but it's soooo damn slow to aim I can't hit shit =/ But it seems that every gun for this tank takes time to aim...I went for it only to get to T-28. I've seen many guys with it, seems to bounce many rounds too and have a good gun for its tier.


However, in general, I have troubles to survive battles, especially with 38nA and M5 (I like its howitzer though)

M5 works best with howitzer, loved that tree. I've got an E8 at the moment.

I'm running the 45mm VT-42 in my T-46, it had double the fire rate, 30mm more penetration, fast "lock on" but iirc 50 damage a shot, so half the power of the 76mm. I mostly run it because of the pen, lock, and fire rate. Much better gun imho

Hmm I thought about getting into M3 -> M4 or T1 tree, I fear the M7 would get into high tier battles and get shredded apart.

I will test the VT-42 by the way.

pz38 is the best tier III of everything, period.

Yeah, when my T-127 gets into a tier 2-3 match, the only tanks I fear are the Pz35(t) and Pz38(t).
