I read the WOT forums. No gaming sites or magazines.

EDIT: Okay, maybe the WOT Wiki.

Counter battery is also very situational. If the enemy SPG is dumb and does not move, yes, it is effective. If your opponent even has an inkling on how to play SPG properly, counter battery becomes ineffectual, and your firepower is best used to support your team instead by nuking their heavies.

Generally, I will only CB if I actually manage to spot a tracer and reasonably sure the enemy SPG is an idiot.

It's likely we would need to regrind the Church I. But to be fair, Church I has a really good gun, as well as decent armour.

I'm so glad they didn't make us grind the Church VII instead. God that tank was just awful.

Black Prince is actually more like the Church I. Decent gun with decent armour, although slow.

You won't like it, but you won't actively hate it either like the Church VII. That said, Caern looks like its miles better.

The x5 crowd is so...

/facepalm

Nope. Just run around and shoot the red tanks.

You'll pick up tactics in due time. Read the wiki though. It's very useful.

There are far better tanks to play than the Crusader. The Cromwell is a good example of OP mediums.

Other good mediums are (from tier V): Pz IV/Shermans with 105mm, VK3601H, T20, Pershing (depends on your playstyle at this point, you may prefer T-44 or Panther II), T-54 (again dependant on playstyle, but all accounts point to M46 Patton underperforming and E-50 being a little too clunky) and of course, the OP BatChat 25t.

Lights I actually recommend Chaffee or T-50-2. Chaffee is a moving 500m spotter, while T-50-2 plays like a true run and gun tank. Those AMXs (12t, 13 75, 13 90) require a certain playstyle to be effective.

Which both the Chaffee and T-50/T-50-2 can do as well.

I... don't understand what you're trying to say.

If you're comparing tanks capabilities, repair costs shouldn't come into equation. Now if we're talking about the profitability of a tank, then yes. Besides, don't your Crusader need to move around as well?

Don't be noob like me can d. Play since May and only get Tier 9. (Almost got that T110E4 though.)

0.4 accuracy and 3.4 aim time. I bet this gun would be even more frustating that the T30 155mm.

Pfft. Type T-34?

I'll stick to my KV-1 and its troll 57mm.

Play like a TD.

40mm Pom Pom has 68 mm pen...

More precisely, they're removing the T-50-2 entirely and replacing it with a similar tank that has the same stats and more importantly, more in line with its historical abilities.

The historical T-50-2 was actually slower than the original T-50.

But no tank can vroom vroom like a T-50-2.

Life of a T-50.

I don't use mods.

(Used XVM for a spell, mainly for the stats thing.)

NOYPI at least has some semblance of skill (MrVojo is pretty decent, and I can respect him), but in general those Thai and Pinoy clans tend to feature baddies more often than not.

There's also the small fact that sometimes TDs have no choice. If you're not going to lead the charge, who will? Those schmuck in HTs sniping before SPGs?
