I'd prefer the Lowe. I don't see the point in getting a JT unless it can use the long 128.
[QUOTE=Crumpet;39131256]What do people prefer, the Lowe or the JTiger 88?
Pretty much the only two >VII premium tanks I see anyone use.

You're taking a tier 9 TD hull into lower tier matches.
You're a castle on tracks

Until any other T8 prem shows up and penetrates your lower hull.
Then you catch on fire, get ammo rack and engine damage. That's when you have the choice of crawling at T95 speeds everywhere or be useless to your team with a not so damaging gun that reloads every 12 seconds.
If it somehow manages to go hull down at a decent range from the enemy it's gonna fuck shit up though.

If you didn't have to worry about gold shells I'd agree with you. It's too tall, too wide, too slow, and it's gun isn't that great. Without the 128, it's only advantage is it's money making.

answers
[quote][B]- there were some premium/promo tanks that stood out so much in the statistics that they'd be nerfed, if they were not premium tanks[/B]
- a new tutorial is planned (SS: that was announced already), but only for new players (SS: Storm noted that before I believe) (related to the question, whether the tutorial will explain how arty should shoot, what is "scouting" etc. - SerB stated "yes, but some players won't see it anyway" (in the sense they'll skip it regardless))
[B]- average lifespan of a vehicle in WoT battles is cca 5 minutes[/B]
[B]- WoT for tablets? SerB wrote it in length, but basically "so far no comment" (or rather "we'll tell when it's certain")[/B]
- devs already have an idea what there will be in the British artillery branch -[B] Churchill AVRE won't make it though, its gun elevation is not high enough[/B]
[B]- additional tank armor screens (equipment) - planned, but because it's hard to implement (change of models etc) - not anytime soon (far future)[/B]
- only 1-2 percent of players visit (Russian) forums, it's not planned to implement "hints" into the game, pointing to the forums ("if you want to know more, check forums")
- the mantlets of the Soviet T-34 and KV-1 series tanks act in the game like spaced armor, even though they look like the part of the turret (if you hit it, the penetration decal will "disappear" etc), because there is another thin layer behind them and only penetrating leads to damage
[B]- light tank cap (eg. both sides having the same amount of light tanks) MM won't work based on tier only, but (as it does now) based on their MM weight[/B]
[B]- the arty hardcap is temporary and will be removed "when it's not needed anymore"[/B]
- buffing or nerfing tanks does not depend on anything else, like f.x. introduction of new maps, it's completely separate
- chatbanned players won't be able to issue commands in game (won't be changed)
- it's not planned to allow deleting the WoT accounts, but the devs are thinking about how to solve the situation when an unused account is "blocking" a desired nickname
- only those medals are rewarded retroactively, for which the data can be found easily from available sources
[B]- in the past, the platoons had a bigger balance weight, they don't anymore[/B]
- it's not planned to turn the thin plates of the M10 Panther into the spaced armor
- tanks aren't balanced only based on their guns, but at a complex of characteristics (SS: the question was, how come the tier 10 meds have comparable penetration to tier 10 heavies, while the lower tiers have it inferior - it's compensated by mobility in this case)
[B]- the developers consider the situation, where an ally destroys your gun (a crit), you spend 3k repair kit fixing it and in the end you get 60 silver compensation (hardly any damage was done) as normal
- the fact top TD's have lower viewrange than top meds and heavies is okay with the devs
- KV-5 armor wasn't buffed for "a lot of reasons"[/B]
- according to the devs, the "Serene coast" (how's the map name in english?) map didn't become the new Swamp/Komarin (eg. a standoff map full of long battles), it won't become a lowtier map (like "Province")
[B]- high-gold-cost low-tier premium tanks that would earn more credits are not deemed necessery[/B]
[B]- it's not planned to remove the penalties for very small hits by allies (20-30hp)[/B]
- the chance of dropping into meeting engagement battles won't be modified
[B]- the devs know about the platoon spam in random battles[/B]
[B]- it's possible there will be new perks and skills for crews[/B]
- apparently there is no plan to put the "planned" 700hp engine to the VK2801 ("you can believe *SS: the fact that vehicle was to have that engine* but that doesn't mean we have to put it in")
- there will be a self-propelled gun (SS: unclear if arty or TD, in Russia, they both share a generic term SAU) based on the KV hull introduced into the game
[U][B]- T-60-2 will be introduced with high probability[/B][/U]
[B]- the gun elevation and depression of the new German medium branch will be similiar to the other German branch (alternative explanation is that SerB is trolling and answering the question "What will be the elevation and depression of the new German branch like?" with "Like the one of the new German branch")[/B]
[B]- the gun depression and elevation of the Leopard tank (-9,+20 mentioned - "only if this turns out to be historical")[/B]
- it will be possible to equip the Leopard with a gun stabilizer [/quote]

Tank companies + playing in platoons like that one (and not playing solo ever) + being a good player.

Was it supposed to be buffed? Historical accuracy or game balance?

Good thing it wasn't, it's already pretty bullshit if you don't have a clear shot at the R2D2 weakspot.

They're not hard tanks to flank. Just get around to it's side or rear and unload into it. It's turret takes hours to do a full rotation, and the 107 isn't that great.
I got one million creditos, time to pick a tier 6.

It still has some ridiculously bouncy armor, trying to pen it with a 175 pen gun is REALLY hard.
Encountering it with a medium tank is a nightmare.

Except it's not because everything T8 and above can wreck its shit. Frontally penning like bullshit.
Does JT 88 get favourable matchmaking?

Don't forgot the huge ass gunmask which is only 180mm and has nothing behind it.

It's even easier in a medium, I've had no trouble fighting them whether I be in my type 59 or my Centurion.
[QUOTE=lintz;39133058]Except it's not because everything T8 and above can wreck its shit. Frontally penning like bullshit.[/QUOTE]
Sure if they get to shoot the R2D2 weakspot but everything else on that thing is ridiculously armored.

Both type and Centurion have really really good guns, centurion especially.
Type can even pen the mantlet.
Pershing and T-44 can't pen it that reliably.
And lower tier tanks are going to have a hard time too.
Anything with more than 180 pen will pen the turret. Hell, even a good diceroll with top gun on IS will pen it. The only times KV-5 bounces any more are with angling and stupid people.

If you can't pen the mantlet, hit the R2D2, if you can't hit the R2D2, go for one of the copulas. If you for some reason can't do that, flank it. If you can't do any of that, go back to playing arty.
Guy on the world of tanks forum makes a thread titled, 43% WR makes me a "Noob"?
[quote]Personal I think you should not judge a player on there WR.. It should be based on damage Base capture points. So before you call me a "Noob" because I have a 43% WR, Look at the other details and earlier today some one called me a "noob" because I had a 43% WR After the battle I looked at his it was 37% So I said "You called me a noob because I had 43% I checked yours it's 37% So needless to say you would be the noob my friend" .

[quote]IM 43%. and I earned it playing in top tier random pubs...I play stock tanks.....I play tanks that have low global win percentages.....I dont platoon.....I dont use gold rounds in pubs.....I dont play in OP tank companies....I dont play OP low tier tanks with 5 skill crews in them.....I dont platoon up with my buddies and go seal clubbing to pad my overall stats.
Those are things that the so called good players do to pad their stats....im not saying that there arent some really good players in this game that understand where to be on the maps better than most,but believe me they do all those things that I dont do to pad their stats.
They didnt get those great stats playing solo in random pubs driving tanks that underperform according to the statistics they so love to quote.
Bet all you can they are platooning and driving the most OP tanks in any given tier, almost all the time, and spamming gold rounds just as fast they can fire [/quote]

To be fair, I had 4 HARD losses in a row last night in my T21, where literally every time I was the best player on my team (even in 2 fucking tier 10 games) and my team never had more than like, 4 kills.
I mean in some circumstances it really is possible to get fucked by shit teams.
