[QUOTE=Timebomb575;39427273]A T-54 really shouldn't be standing still ever
It has the same front armor as the E-50 (and better turret armor), has a better power/weight ratio, the same DPM (very slightly better actually), the removed governor, and massively better turret and track traverse rates
Really the only thing the E-50 has on the T-54 is health and I think slightly better accuracy on the move
Edit:
Also its WAYYY smaller[/QUOTE]
Hah! When ruskie tanks see the e 50 coming for them at 60 km/h they run like pussyes!
E-50's are pretty easy to track tbh and since they don't exactly turn very fast a good player can avoid the impact easily.
And if you get tracked at speeds such as 60 km/h you will usually spin, exposing your sides and in the E-50's case, a gigantic flat side.
[QUOTE=Orkel;39427547]Yeah, or it happened before the HE patch back then. It's been hardcapped at 3.
[editline]31st January 2013[/editline]
Oh right, it doesn't apply on penetrating HE hits. The hardcap of 3 is only for splash and non-penetrating hits[/QUOTE]
To explain a bit more, this is how it works currently
On an HE splash or non-penetrating direct hit, it makes a cone-shaped blast wave through the tank (starting from the weakest armored spot the explosion has line of sight to, think a bunch of rays spreading out from the point of impact) and every crew member that's in the way has a 10% chance of getting killed, up to a max of 3 dudes.
On a penetrating HE hit, every crew member that gets in the way of the explosion has a 15% chance (slightly higher) of getting killed, with no hardcap.
[QUOTE=Orkel;39427501]I have a 58.4% win ratio with the tiger after 554 battles, it's NOT a bad tank. Anyone who says it's bad just doesn't know how to play it right.[/QUOTE]
Indeed, I did enjoy it, preferred Tiger P but still was a good tank. Managed 57% win ratio, armour angling for the win

But your global WR is 59.5%
Orkel should just be exempted from all comparisons, he's just too good.
Clearly the best T9 medium has and always will be the M46 Patton.

the problem with the tiger is that the tiger p exists
[QUOTE=minicunga;39429696]Clearly the best T9 medium has and always will be the M46 Patton.[/QUOTE]
The nerfs that came with the M48A1 hurt it pretty damn bad though.
In my opinion, the T-54 is probably the best T9 medium right now, with the D-10T2C and a few HEAT shells there's pretty much nothing you can't go through.
[quote]- WG doesn't support the P2W attitude despite the fact that the Chinese (SEA) server sort of inclines to it[/quote]
I suppose I should point out (again) that SEA and Chinese are 2 different servers.

Sure I read that somewhere, with 3 of 5 being max if rounded up (and 2 of 3).

Probably yeah. Not entirely sure but that'd make more sense.

Rest of my post is entirely accurate though.

[QUOTE=acidcj;39429614]But your global WR is 59.5%[/QUOTE]
And? A difference of one percent isn't enough to deem a tank underpowered.
[QUOTE=Orkel;39430289]

What I mean is that context is important, a tank with a 58% win rate for a player like you is much different than a tank with a 58% win rate for a player like myself.

According to the rest of my titty-baby team, this was CLEARLY the fault of the M3 Stuart and not their immense ineptitude.
Were it not that their T-34-85 finally developed a brain and ran away to hide I'd have been the ONLY tank on our whole team with ANY kills.
I didn't know that shut out matches existed at Tier 8.

Not one of my best days.
is the dicker good
Hooray for setting new personal records!

2800 damage, 700 spotting.
[QUOTE=Skwee;39431774]is the dicker good[/QUOTE]
yeah it's fun, has the biggest gun depression in the game which completely negates any hills you come across, and the alpha is very satisfying at tier 6.
major downside is that it gets tier 8 battles sometimes, but you have great APCR that can pen any tier 8 frontally so keep some at all times.
I couldn't get myself to enjoy the dicker beyond making the many Rene Descartes jokes upon killing an enemy.
So much for armour nowadays with gold ammo for credits.
I still don't understand why they added gold shells for credits.
With gold shells, any sherman, Panzer 4 you name it using a 105 cannon is such a fucking threat because you definitely know they will use gold. Especially those panzer 4's because what else would one use the 105 gun for?
Sigh now we have threads on the offical forums defending gold shell, whhhhyy?? Its like suddenly everyone decided to accept it and neg rep anyone that don't.
This is why I'm trying to get most of my tank lines up to tier 9, aside from the tier 6s I use in Medium TCs.
The matchmaking is nice, and tier 9 players still remember how to play the game most of the time. It also means when it's the weekend and every pubtard hops on their tier 8 premiums, I'll be top dog 90% of the time.
If someone wants to waste a heap of silver trying to pen my ST-I, then that's up to them. I'll just laugh as my tracks eat the round. The other tanks I have are all French with no armor. HE would do more damage to them than gold rounds!
[editline]hmm[/editline]
And I don't know if it's new-tank-luck or what, but I'm really enjoying the FCM 50t.

What's the name of the site where you can view your personal efficiency with each tank?

I raped a KV-4 frontally with my Hellcat using them APCR rounds. Pretty balanced to have a tier 6 TD do that to the most armored T8 heavy in the game, eh.

Dear lord the L/70 is a sniper machinegun.
2069 damage on my 2x. The Dice Roll gods have smiled upon me.

Hmmm, last module for the Panther M10, being a gun laying drive or coated optics, or continue saving to buy the T-43?

If there was a map I hated most after Serene shit coast it would be this map.
Malinovka or campinova on standard mode.
Starting on the south side I tend to always lose, the north gets to the hill so much faster.
On top of that, the map has so little hard cover that even 2 SPGs pose such a threat. Never-mind 5 SPGs, that is just overkill!

The map was almost fun back when T10 TD's didn't exist. I used to be able to hop in my IS-7 and charge across the field while half my team yells at me, and the other half follows, and have a pretty good chance at winning. Now you charge across you just get penned frontally by a T110E5 running gold, then get hit by arty and killed.
