Komarin is really as lulzy as ever. Noobs don't know where to go and get slaughtered by invisible tanks.

Get used to engine fires though.

Them Germans love to put their engines in their LFP. (Historically not really, it was the transmission box that is put in the forward compartment. But it counts as part of the engine ingame.)

I have the JT 8,8cm and played the Russian tree extensively. (and borrowed a couple of Kraut tank from friends to test them out.)

Yes, you can definitely feel the difference in accuracy. Where 0.4+ acc is the norm for Russian tanks, Germans tend to sport 0.3x accuracy for almost all their guns and the JT has an insane 0.31 accuracy for its 12.8cm gun.

Not only BL-10. The 155mm on the T30 is just as temperamental. (My record was bouncing three shots off a M103.)

Those costs gold/expensive in terms of credits. Manual is way more economical.

While manual fire extinguisher does fine, the problem is more of how it forces you to repair both your engine and uses up your fire ext when you could have saved them for a better purpose. (Especially being ammo-racked, which Tigers can suffer from.)

Dayum.

Well. I hope I can get my T57 HT before they nerf it. Although come to think of it, I'm grinding the AMX 50B as well so I have two autoloader tanks...

Hell. The ISU could already do so with the BL-10.

The new Type 59.

So kind.

I usually just pepper it to death in my Hellkitty.

The AMX 13 90 is a more flexible tank, I feel, especially if you don't use premium/gold rounds.

T69 relies too much on premium rounds to shine properly.

Russian TD (ISU-Line): Big boomsticks (BL-10 is legendary), subpar accuracy, relatively slow, has hax camo.

Russian TD (SU-101 Line): Mobile, subpar guns, acts more like turretless mediums, hax camo

French TD: High penetration cannons, relatively mobile, troll frontal armour.

If by addons you mean equipment, the usual for TDs apply: Gun Rammer, Gun Laying Drives, Vents/Camo. For skills, Sixth Sense is a must, and Camo usually a close second.

Basically anything that helps you shoot faster and aim faster, since the point of a TD is carrying a big gun.

Legal yes. But you're probably better off memorising them anyway.

(Plus, they're ugly as heck. They're called clownskins for a reason.)

To be honest, you can do without mods. I played nearly 10k battles and still haven't used a single apart from XVM briefly.

As shinkawa noted, the weakspots remain mostly the same for most tanks. Cupolas, MG ports, lower glacis.

Only special ones you probably should remember is the IS-series tanks, due to some of their extreme slopes which is tricky to penetrate if you don't know where to shoot. (Eg, there's actually a thin strip of vertical armour on the IS-3 sides that is much easier to penetrate compared to the rest. Aim too high and you might bounce, and aim too low and you hit the tracks for no damage.)

Delicious popcorn.

Can't be any worse than the all the Foch 155 running around.

From what I read, they're also paper tigers, and thus lack the troll armour of Fochs. Also, it also doesn't have any camo like the standard German TDs.

Like I said, it's OP until you actually drive one and find that it's massively overrated and has its own weak spots.

EDIT: 20 mm turret armour. Lel. Load HE and go wild.

Lulz. Just realised you already switched clans.

Yeah, it kinda is. But then again, I'm really more of a solo-ist, so I don't know.

I wonder. With all of you guys in different clans, would a proper LYN clan be better?
