If you actually owned and played 1, its so far from being OP, Its basically a worse Somua, with a workable turret but without Somua's gun depression and accuracy.

while Defender remain 1 of the most OP due to its very forgiving on mistakes.

Old IS-3A: Despite vastly faster shell speed + lower p/w ratio, nobody playing it.
New IS-3A: Gave it an Inverse AutoReloading gun, but gimped down everything else.

If you read my earlier Post #1993:

IS-3A (highly recommended go for 100% HEAT shell if prefer close range)
- Snapshot capability: BAD (worst gun/hull moving dispersion among 4)
- Brawling/Melee Potential: GREAT but Situational , (3 shell clipping power + HEAT shell, can even bully tier-9 WZ-111-1-4 at melee range, 0 reload penalty)
- Long range fire support: BAD (very RNG dispersion, only 1 hits out of 3 shells)
- Medium range fire support: BAD (very RNG dispersion, only 1 hits out of 3 shells)
- Mobility: BAD, FLAT & HARD terrain ONLY
- Straight-line rush: BAD (Worst engine power than IS-3 stock, slow acceleration)


1. Its gun-handling and hull mobility is a total letdown. Even my 4 skill crew with BIA also barely offset its bad stats. I can eat enemy IS-3A alive with my TS-5 mobility + DPM.

2. Shooting while on the move, will always result in a miss even close range. My IS-3A can literally missed shots with my aim circle fully enclose the target within 50m, while on the move.

3. In order to fully unload 3 shells into enemy hull, you need to come to a full stop, and try not to swing the turret a lot during intra-clip reload, otherwise most likely will result a miss.

4. A lot of players still think IS-3A is OP due to 390 alpha x3 + no penalty on 4th shells reload, result in average of 1600 damage, but they ignore the facts that, IS-3A have to stay still or move slowly in the open for a whole 6 + 12-14 sec to dish out these 1600 average damage. Somua SM is much much better in that aspect offensively.

5. Within 350 view range, this subpar clippers engagement is only limited to short to melee range. Its only good at 1v1 melee without support, and thats its only strength despite its perfectly killable instead like Defender. It only punishes careless flankers heavily, but doing very badly in offensive.

6. Most of the owners of IS-3A on reddit, expressed that IS-3A is very very meh, even with a good player's skill, its potential is limited by its bad hull and gun stats. This tank is simply not the tank that can be used to carry in late game.

Glad to see CAX gang here!

Tips of selling tanks to get credits:

1. Premium Tanks are recoverable once sold.
2. Daily limits for Tank Selling is 5, the counters will be reset after GMT+8 oooo.
3. Tier 5 & tier tier 6 are great choices to sell: (t-50-2 worth 640,000)
4. Any tier lower tier premiums which you not keeping are the next. (IV & III)
5. Tier 8 & 9 regular tanks which you no longer driving, such as my Obj257/T-10/50TP/T95

Never ever sell any tier 8 premiums or tier X tanks unless you hate them. Emergency selling is okay if you really need the black market tanks and not enough creds.

Who knows in the future Black Market offers multiple trade ins for 1 single tanks?

Caernavon AX vs T34b:

After playing both of them, CAX is clearly a winner due to:

CAX:
1. Workable hull and solid turret. Face to face on ridgeline T34 lose 9 street.
2. Very short reticle lock time with VTSAB
3. Very accurate gun for weakspot/track sniping
4. CAX 3 shots reload = T34 1 shots.
5. Much better mobility than T34.

T34b unless you love this tank, otherwise dont get it at 9 mils.
Its 248 pen is a trap and crippled by its gunhandling.

All aspect. Even you fully aimed with T34 gun, Its derpy due to its caliber.

On the other hand, CAX's gun accurate like LOWE's laser.

Surprisingly, my TS-5 earns silvers faster than my Mauerbrecher, become 1 of my top favourites,

Non-Tech tree premiums is like, Emergency funds without selling any decent tier 9 and tier 10 regular tanks (cannot be recovered)

Surprisingly useful during these times...

Just sharing a few tips on how to gather credits in short time by selling Premium Tanks:

Blackdog => 5 millions (a great Frontline tank and semi-medium lights)
Caernavon AX => 9 millions (I just used CAX to eat a T34 alive at CLIFF map, both HullDown show-off)

I gonna estimate T34B will be at most 7 millions credits, 8 million I also wont buy.

I drove T34 before, I understand the pain and helplessness of being powercreeped and eaten alive even with support.
FYI:

Tech-tree premium served as decent credit farmer such as STRV-S1, M4A1, WZ-120 & SU-122-44

Shop-premium mostly served as emergency funds for event like Black Market maybe? (Unlimited time for recovery, bound to account)

If it sells at 6-7 millions i might consider tho.

Black shiny T34 looks cool...

Haiz, despite I said about being 9 mil is too expensive for T34B... I am a sucker of black tanks, gotta admit it made me drooling during sales.

did you buy? Since you like the shape, I traded my T-34 once for WZ-120-FT but I got the black version.... sucker of black...

Deathstar:
- tier X without selling value for emergency credits in, and a big credit drainer. Driving experience will be terrible due to terrain resistance. FV4005 damage to credits is cukup for me d.

Foch 155:
-46 sec downtime per 2250 clipping burst damage with 5 intraclip reload time... I better drive back my skoda and Standard B... turretless autoloaders is not easy & fun to use.

What tier 8 premium tanks can do:
- Kinda able to mortgage with unlimited recovery time
- Able to trade-ins if really needed.
- Credit earners
- T34B and CAX cool AF!!!

IS-6B's subpar pen and gold pen worth the 9 mils credits kah? Its armor so trollish... I can related it to a much more unstable Obj257...

Currently holding 14.5 million in stash: (was surprised how much credits I can squeeze out)

My backup tanks for mortgage:



My current active, "not for sale" tanks:





Gonna pass IS-6B this time, I know I cant make it work even from stats.

How much millions you guess for Foch 155?

Non-Tech-tree-Tier 8 prems can be sold between 1.9 - 2.4 millions & its can be recovered without time limit... So why not mortgage them for immediate credits for Foch?

Some reward tanks at tier 10, doesnt have a good price despite cost 23 millions like Deathstar.

I even sold my newly-purchased T34B & Caernarvon AX for credits as Foch 155 incoming...

Not sure how bad foch155 is nerfed during 2014:

Its aim time, dispersion is 2.88 and 0.36 vanilla, far better than Deathstar and FV4005, at least not potato by its calibre
Its mobility far better than Deathstar and fv4005
Its alpha damage and penentration is far better than foch B
5 sec intraclip reload is nothing when u can pump ppl with 293 AP PEN instead of 8000 silvers HESH with 230 unstable pen
Workable armor at range, at least better than wz-120-1g-ft...
Most importantly, foch155 camo way way better than these 2 HESH tanks...


Worst outcome i still can fork out 25 mils...

Yeah same T34B sales here.... Maybe T34B 1 whole day, then IS-6B 1 whole day, Friday will show Foch155 & Tier X Camo???


haha naked with all the functional credits farmer and progressing tanks....
