Oh man those Italian meme machines look like they will be so much fun but first I will have to grind for 4 years to even get them.

Don't worry, the low tier 20mm machines are pretty fun and fast (atleast the AAA is anyways)
Well you guys convinced me I'm gonna ditch british tanks for a bit an grind towards the meme cars thanks
This should help you on your journey:

I have been listening to this crossing around in that weird 2 person AT go cart thanks.
Its ridiculous fun to park it next to hostile tank tracks where they can't depress their gun enough to hit you and you are finally close enough to do some damage.
Also coming from brit tanks the transition to AP shells with explosive filler is the best thing, so much more damage.

IT BEGINS
Someone explain to me why in the fuck the IT-1 can still fire and reload its rockets after its launcher is detroyed
because Ivan gets out of the tank and instead becomes the launcher himself.
Does gajiggles sometimes ignore server settings or are there just a lot of russians queing for US servers? I keep getting (presumably*) yelled at by various russians even though i'm supposedly in US servers.
*can't copy message text so I can't google translate it.
I'm fleeing the retardo RU server teams as alternative to playing EU when it's a quiet day but this isn't helping.

This is-a not-a the face of-a mercy.
No clue how but they seem to have made hullbreak on the bagelpanzer wonky as fuck.
I can cop a sabot round in the front and out the back and the tank will be fine but god forbid one of the fuel tanks or the breach get hit then its game over

fuck OFF
Hullbreak works on important module HP or raw filler mass.
Sabot can't hullbreak unless it hits an important module (breech, engine (sometimes???), etc)
Im aware of that its just in the bagel at least its extremely inconsistent.
Example is the ammo for the main gun, if the rack at the back gets hit it generally gets an "ammo lost" but if the rack thats feeding the gun gets hit its "tank burned down"
hullbreak in general is inconsistent
it's just an overall shit mechanic
The pt-76b is great with hull break because the armor is thinner than air, is the size of a small bus, and there is literally no way to get hit by ANYTHING that pens and not receive either hull break, "tank burnt down", an ammo racking, or a major if not complete loss of crew. Shell go through the turret? If it hits the massive turret ring or gun breach the whole tank breaks, if it explodes it'll kill everyone guaranteed (the only exception is usually when a shell miraculously hits only a singular crew (loader most of the time) and passes out the tank). Shell of any size go through the hull? Congrats, it will without a shadow of a doubt hit either the engine bay and hull break, spall and kill everyone, or blow the ammo.
I get that it's a paper tissue tank with a meme amphib mode (and really good for the br heatfs) but the chance of being hit by anything that can pen and not dying is so low that you basically have a better chance of killing a maus with a BT-5.
Oh wow facepunch still exists and so does this thread. And joy oh joys, italian meme carts are talk of the day.

So uhhh for some reason I am blocked from researching the Italian Tipo despite owning multiple other R III vehicles in the Italian tree already?
Is this a bug or intended? It is kinda blocking me for ever advancing italian medium tanks right now.
Technically Italian tanks are still in closed beta, so they will be gradually opened for the public to research.
AFTER 21 DAYS OF STRAIGHT GRINDING AND PAIN I HAVE FINALLY DONE IT.

Personally I wouldn't bother grinding for anythin lower than rank 3, because that's where the real grind starts.

Finally part of the TB-3 club too
Hullbreak is shit, but not having hullbreak is even more shit. It made M18s and other light speedy tanks invincible and uncounterable.
The thing that gets me about hullbreak is that it doesn't simulate hullbreak at all since you still need to hit specific parts of the tank, it just gives people a way of 1 shotting them if they know where to aim.
I think a better implementation would be something along the lines of structural damage being applied to other modules around the hit, so if I fire a shell through a hellcats engine the damage it does to the structure of the tank is enough to knock out the turret ring thus leading to a long repair cycle rather while the crew fixes it to turn again.
To that end it would prevent stupid shit like a shell lightly nudging your engine and it killing you, it genuinely feels like shit when you have someone blindly fire a shell at you because they saw a pixel of your rear only for you to die because it grazed the very edge of your fuel tank
Aside from some APHE fuses being bugged, maybe if they'd just implement proper fucking SPALLING this wouldn't be an issue as HE would devastate them.
Instead we exist in a world where all the energy of a 152mm fuckoff round (solid or HE) can hit the side of a King Tiger and just )) out of existence if it's pen value wasn't high enough. No damage, nothin'. Which isn't remotely how the real world works.
152mm fuckoff round
iirc even the Su-122's shells were able to turret-gank most german vehicles.
Remember when large calliber HE shells were better than APHE?
The massive explosion would just fuck any tank over
105 sherman on release was greasy af
it was glorious
As they should be. Your tank gets hit by a howitzer tier HE shell and you aren't coming out in the same shape and # of pieces as you went in. At the very least your eardrums would get shreked so hard they'd turn into fragmentation and shred your brain.
