...Well its alright. I'm currently using it as a faster panther tank with the howitzer.

its

just acceptable

great ramming tank tough

[THeTA0123]

10 matches in, here is my verdict=

This is a great frikking ramming tank!

I spotted a batchat, i fired mah howitzer, his track blew off, friendly blows his tracks again off, i charge in fullspeed and slam into the batchat, with only a few HP left, i finish him off with the howitzer

Got myself alot of new tanks due to all the gold I've won (garage slots ftw):

T-44: Nice once fully upgraded. I don't know why one hast to do 320k+ XP to get to the next tank. Is there any T8 that has a longer grind out there? King Tiger has 270k maybe and AMX 50 100 even far less.

AMX 50 120: I really love it with the top gun. Gun elevation is a pain in the ass but compared to my other T9 tank, the E75, the gun is just so much better even with the reduced alpha (it has 10 more DMG compared to the 105mm of the T54E1, wtf, I don't understand their caliber to damage relation).
Dont' think I'll buy the AMX 50 B as it is outclassed in almost any regard by the T57H.

Panzer II: Such a fun seal clubbing tank. The gun is pretty stable even at full auto. It's armour is ok but it's speed is bad.

BT-2: I rebought the tank I played when I made my first 200 battles. It's not nearly as agile as the BT-7 but at least it doesn't get thrown into freaking T5 matches all the time.

Cruiser IV: Love this thing, the Bofors is just awesome and with the soundpack it even sounds awesome. I ceased platooning with it because it gave a guaranteed T5 match (don't know why)

IS: I don't know, it's not bad, I've yet to unlock the top gun and the engine. I seemed to do alot better with the 100mm. I prefer my Tiger alot.

AMX 12t: Horrible mobility, awesome camo rating. Malinovka is a joy.

AMX 13 75: Same thing only a bit more mobile and better gun handling.

KV-1: Man, I nearly forgot how OP it is.

British arty line: Tier 3 was really nice, hated the tier 4, loved the Bishopp apart from it's mobility and that FV304, an ELC combined with arty, just a really awesome toy.

GW Panther: I didn't really like the Hummel, I was pretty bad in it. The GW Panther is my favourite arty so far on par with FV304, I mostly platoon with a friend who has the M12 and we are doing pretty fine (55-60% WR which is awesome for me as I usually am below 50% with arties). Had some matches with Luftwaffe's S-51. I don't know whether I should try it.

Tier 2 German arty: Horrible, just plain horrible. If it hits, it kills -->IF<-- horrible reload, small gun arc, horrible aim time.

Flakbus: Surprisingly I really enjoyed it. The FlaK 18 was fine on it and it was really fast.

Nashorn: My bane, it is below 50% WR. I mean, the gun is really awesome but it is too big and too slow in my opinion. I must be doing something wrong. I think I will stop the line after unlocking the Emil. Don't know I want to grind 60k XP with that puny 105mm with a big slow, horribly armoured battleship.

E100: It's not a new tank for me but I started using AP and it works surprisingly well sometimes. Unlike HEAT which loves to bounce on nearly everything, the AP actually does something ^^

That's it so far I guess.

@Ajappat: I can't keep up with you but I've made 1893 XP in my Tiger I and that in a premium 5x round (It was already elited a long time ago but a nice crew boost is always welcome):



EDIT: Had to edit the screenshot as it had Kriegstreiber's Reichstag with all the swastikas. I mistook it for the one with the Soviet flags I always used. Loved that sniper medal. I'm sad it's gone.

Dont' think I'll buy the AMX 50 B as it is outclassed in almost any regard by the T57H.

If you're into manouvral warfare (like me) the AMX 50B outclasses the T57 Heavy by far. The T57 only has slightly better DPM due to faster reload but the 50B's speed completely makes up for everything. It can get to key spots faster than many mediums, and it can quickly relocate to the other side of the map or where ever it's needed most which is one of the most important factors of winning battles. The speed makes it able to flank quite easily, which means that in the end the actual DPM could be even higher than the T57's because you don't have to face front armor all the time (and bounce less).

I've played both. The T57 is fun for the quick burst damage but if you take away the gun it's a rubbish platform, while the AMX 50B is a much better all-rounder. It's my most favorite tank of the game and I love showing T57s who's the true king of autoloaders.

[ajappat]

Also, AMX 50b has APCR for gold ammo. Much better than HEAT.

[|7th|Nighthawk]

Ok, I see your points. Now if I should buy it, should I keep the AMX 50 120? Is it worth to be kept additionally? I really like it but if the 50 B does everything just a bit better, I guess I'd be better off just selling it (especially because of the crew).

[Sander93]

The 50B is a 50 120 but one tier higher. Faster reload, better mobility, autobounce hull armor, etc. The only drawback is obviously that it gets higher matchmaking. Keeping or selling the tier 9 is completely up to you, I personally found it to be one of the best and most fun tier 9s.

[|7th|Nighthawk]

Thank you, I kinda vouched for keeping it. Now I've just gotta put a good crew into the 50 B; problematic.
I've got decent crews for 50 100 and 50 120 and my best crew of all my garage sits in the BDR G1B.
I think putting the 50 100 crew into the 50 B would definitely be good but would leave the 50 100 without a decent crew (my WR sucks anyway, I don't think a bad crew would worsen it too much, lol) which may be bad for TCs as Tiger II and T-44 just don't cut it there (especially the former).

While I absolutely love 50 120s massive firepower, It's VERY difficult to use. I have like 270 games in it, 49%WR which was a devasting 46% last week, 371 kills and a not-so-good 1674 average damage per game, which I'm working on.

This tank went trough three stages of my time in WoT, when it was my first Tier IX tank, when I was improving to join CAZA (which requires you to be very good, not a unicum kind of player but very good) and now, being part of CAZA, I've learned a lot, strategies, when to be aggressive, when to stay back and save your hp, positioning... all of that shit, indirectly, I got a lot better on the 50 120 and my stats with it have started to go up since I picked up for the third, last time.

I will try to make a massive amount of EXP today, day started damn well as I carried my team in the first match, then got 500 gold for killing a WG employee, he was an IS-6, tracked, with only a T29 defending him, it's impossible to fail, I have everything to kill him...



I asked him for M60 codes instead of 500 gold tho

[|7th|Nighthawk]

I've got 60% in 85 battles so far. It's pretty amazing. I struggle to keep my 75% in the E75, I don't know why. One usually has to stay back as better player (at least I do as an above average player) but the E75 is not made to stay back, maybe that's why.

[Sander93]

I got about 2700 average in both accounts, and 2 kills per battle. Surprisingly enough it's on par with my E-75 and obviously it loses to the TDs (704 and WFPzIV both 3100). Not the best tank, but it certainly ain't bad either. Burst damage is a great reward for players who actually attempt to flank.

[Torenico]

Do you remember your skills for the 50 B? I'm about to get the 3rd on the 50 120, BiA perhaps? I have standard repairs and 6th sense as first and second comes with safe stowage which is a must because this things loves ammorack damage and things to help me kill stuff while moving.

KV-1 OP ? No Way Jose !!

Safe stowage doesn't decrease ammo rack damage, it only decreases the chance to explode. Since I've never been ammoracked (as in blown up) in all of my 1300 matches it's a useless skill.

The skills on my highest trained account are like this

although as of late I changed my mind about the setups and now I usually give the camouflage skill priority. The other skills only add 3-5% which is kinda neglectable but the camo skill does more, and moreover not getting seen means taking less damage which in turn means better survivability, higher damage and higher chance to win.
