Get the howitzer.
How's the new American light / med line?
I hear the T7 tank (and the T10 I think?) have autoloaders.

I hate the tier 7
Just because it's basically better than the 13 75 in EVERY WAY.
Fucking WG learn to balance.
word. seems interesting; though the tier 6 one seems kinda mediocre at best
on another note, I love how the 122-44 is 'balanced' by making the shells 1k a pop
when you make like, 25 times that on a mediocre match
this thing is god tier, glad my friend let me test it out
it's like a bunker that requires ~170 or so pen to pen the front, shoots out angry 122mm shells every 8 seconds or so, plus a rammer

Haha I got a 6,75 second reload with it, it's insane.

it has abysmal armor so I hear, but so does the 13 75

a ~7 second reload on that gun is just stupidly great
I think that makes it in the top 3 for dpm for all tanks?
[QUOTE=Error_404;39138176]Alright. Tips for surviving the M5?[/QUOTE]
Been a long time since i played the M5, i guess you should play it like most other lights, i think it might be good at bush scouting but i'm not totally sure about that. Get the 75mm howitzer like others have said.
The 75mm's HEAT is not very effective in my opinion though as 100mm of penetration still isn't enough to penetrate even the sides of some of the tanks you are put up against.

Well, for starters the AMX 13/75 is kinda lacking.
It's only a tiny mobility boost from the 12t along with a slightly shorter reload time and more health.
It's still the same tank as before the Tier 10 update, it's just not that much of an upgrade anymore.
Kinda like the Lorraine, they basically copied over the BatChat's stats to it and called it a day. For some reason that appeased the WoTards, even though the main complaint about the BatChat being "op nerf pls" was its speed and burst DPM, both things the Lorraine still has with a bigger profile.

Yep. Over 3k DPM.
Also the gun on the T71 has 175 pen and 150 dmg, and a 5 second longer reload of the drum.
MEANWHILE 13 75 gets 144 pen and 135 damage, and the only good thing compared to the T71 gun is the accuracy.
Fucking BULLSHIT.

It's BS how it has the same damn gun as the 12t, it should get an upgrade, especially now that the T71 exists.
150 pen and 150 dmg with the same accuracy and reload speed would be good.
..3k dpm. Wow.
That's some shit.

What the balls
SU-152 has better :v:
but in a shittier package, huge, unarmored and slow.

You forgot to mention the T71 fires APCR which gets a nice bonus against sloped armor.
It makes quite a difference.

OH COME ON, HOW OP IS THAT THING?
I'm getting more angrier at it, I even started to grind for it.
pls stop
im trying to save this free exp for the 59-16 and you're making it very hard

The 13/90 is well worth the pain though.
And the BatChat, the Lorraine... not so much. I mean it still fucks shit up but while you're killing a T9 every 32.5 seconds there's that annoying little T-50 who follows you around and sticks 45mm shells into your paper front, it's too fast for you to ram him to death and your teammates are too terrible to stop him/too busy laughing at your distinct lack of any armoring.

The Lorraine 40t seems really lackluster, but it's not like I'm grinding towards them. When I get the 13 90 I'll be happy.
[editline]8th January 2013[/editline]
I just realized that I'm at tier 8 in so many different brances, but not a single tier 9 :v:
what's lackluster about a 40 ton battlebus that goes 60km/h and revolvers everything?
[QUOTE=fishyfish777;39138854]what's lackluster about a 40 ton tank that goes 60km/h and revolvers everything?[/QUOTE]
A tier 9 AMX50 100 with better acceleration and even worse armor.
Yay?

Well first of all, there's the fact [B]every single thing on the map[/B] wants you dead, especially that S-51 loaded with gold shells.
Then there's all those scout tanks frontally penetrating you with regular shells (fuck you all 2801 drivers) while you're reloading.
I still have a replay of a French squad we did, eli in a 13/90, myself in a Lorraine and Valdor in a BatChat.
Guess who got shot first even though he was behind the BatChat.

Well there's no armor
and there's getting raped by a platoon of HAVOK 2801s using regular HE.
40t's are just giant boxes that seem so easy to shoot.

They're Havok, you'd be raped by them whether they're driving 2801's, chaffee's or they're in Lowe's. They're HAVOK, I always lose when I play against them, and win when ones on my team.

Well yeah, but that's french tanks in general and the Lorraine just happens to be more McDonalds than the rest. The difference is that (I personally found) the Lorraine [i]can[/i] play a support-role tank really well because of its penetration, acting as a TD dashing from cover-to-cover and covering your teammates during the first half of the game, and in the latter half you can just sprint around and wreck the hell out of shit reload-to-reload like any other french tank.
You just hafta accept the inevitability that if left alone, low-tier tanks will wreck your shit and the fact that the Lorraine, unlike the 50/100, has the ability to [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=YLD9aAtWSfQ#t=87s][I]fuck it i'm out[/I][/url]. Even from scouts you can find some solace by running back toward your heavy line as fast as you can.
But that's just me and I'vent really played it much post nerf so
