[QUOTE=CommieTurtle;37789475]Can anybody tell me if the new 8.0 panzer IV is fun?[/QUOTE]
Imagine a german Sherman.
That's basically it.
[QUOTE=CommieTurtle;37789850]I've been playing the panzer IV without the schmalturm in preparation and I'm actually liking it quite a bit. Hopefully the pen. and RoF boost will make it more like the T-34/57.[/QUOTE]
No one seems to realize how big a mobility buff getting rid of the top turret is. That thing must add another 4 tons. The other thing is the Pz4 has really, really nice soft stats, arguably some of the best I've seen. To, the 8.0 Pz4 seems to be what it should have always been now.
It's really easy to play WoT with this playing in the background

hell pink floyd is a pretty damn good band to listen to when doing anything for sustained periods of time.
Well I'm just gonna go ahead and guessing that most people probably just skipped my little question since it ended up being covered up by the meaningless T8 arguing. So, what order should I be researching modules on the A-20 and the t-34 to get it over with faster?

Well, if you wait for the next patch....

Hit Points increased by 10 hp.
Increased the view range of А-20 mod. 1938 turret from 240 m to 300 m
Decreased the aiming speed of 37 mm ZiS-19 gun from 2.3 sec to 1.9 sec
Decreased the aiming speed of 45 mm 20K fron 2.3 sec to 1.9 sec

Otherwise, probably similar research path to most scouts.

Should I bother with any other gun besides the one unlocking the T-34?
They nerfed AMX38. All my why.
[QUOTE=gufu;37790972]They nerfed AMX38. All my why.[/QUOTE]
And buffed the B1. Which didn't need it at all (although it's fucking awesome).
my efficiency in the beast is like, 1900 over 30 games. It's goddamn good. And the AMX-38 is goddamn bad.
[QUOTE=Cataclysmic_47;37790338]Should I bother with any other gun besides the one unlocking the T-34?[/QUOTE]
If you have the first 37mm or feel it really needs a small boost, get the first 37mm. Otherwise, you should go for the 76mm. If then you find it too inaccurate, pick up the second 45mm.
I personally found the 76mm too inaccurate when I first played through it. I would much rather use the 45mm. If you have it unlocked, or feeling up to some anti scouting, the automatic is another very good choice.

Just how does one have the patience to get to tier 9?
The amount of XP required for example for the IS-8 is just insane, I'll never get that much XP with the IS-3.
I'll get bored of the tank before that.
Moving up to the is-8 from the is-3 sucked for me, the is-3 played a lot more nicely.

If you're in the facepunch clan find somebody to platoon with, most of the people in the clan are far above the average pubbie in terms of skill and it should make grinding a lot easier.
If you aren't in the clan, find friends to play with or a clan that's active and has people willing to platoon with you. The game can be fun alone but it's really hard to grind sometimes unless you have somebody to play with.

If you are only earning like 200xp average a match, though, then it's really just going to take a lot of patience.

I average 500-800, over 1k on a really good match., and I'm not in a hurry to get the IS-8 but as I said, I'm gonna get bored of the tank before I reach XP amounts of that.

Unless you plan on participating in clan wars (and by that i mean really heavy participation) there's no need to get to a t10 tank right away. Sure they guarantee you top tank every match, but the amount of fun you're going to have will be the same as doing well in any other tier tank.
The best way to go about grinding in my opinion is to have multiple tanks (like pick a heavy, medium, tank destroyer) and then grind them at the same time. It gets rid of much of the repetitiveness, and while the grind will take longer it's going to be a lot less painful.
If it means anything, I have multiple t10 tanks but I often find myself playing at the t5-8 range for fun.
Not to mention I often will completely stop doing a line if I get too bored with it and just pick it up a few weeks/months later
Oh wow that was a hilarious match with the Pz III, I thought I was gonna die so many times, luckily I got my teammate's help.
Prohorovka assault as a defender, mostly tier 6 but I got really lucky.
Replay here:

Also oh man the Pz III can't even pen KV-2's arse, even the KV-1s is hard to pen. It needs a buff, seriously.

The T-50-2 now has worse traverse speed than the A-20
god why
T-50 2 was too drifty with physics so they reduced traverse by 10
[editline]25th September 2012[/editline]
This was in physics test 2 notes if I remember correctly.
[QUOTE=Calkkuna;37791658]Just how does one have the patience to get to tier 9?[/QUOTE]
I believe some tier 8 tanks are fun, therefore grinding them can be quite a pleasant thing.
Though I may not be completely right since I don't have any tier 8 tanks yet, I'm just very close to researching T28.

Panther II was a great tank to drive so I got the E-50 faster than I thought I would. Will probably never get the E-50M which is okay because I haven't heard anything good about it.

0.3 accuracy sounds delicious though.

Pz.IV indeed is mobile now. However I always combined pz.iv with accuracy in my mind, not mobility. They should have kept it slower but with a weaker yet L/70 level accurate gun. Now it is simply competing with PZ.III/IV and sherman for general purpose medium role. And III/IV was a canditate for replacing the IV and yet in WoT it's on the same tier.

I've got the habit of taking Armorer simply because when your gun gets destroyed, you're pretty much fucked.
I don't run consumables, for the record.
