It takes 3700 damage in the Caernarvon to cover the cost of (98%) repairs and ammo, and make 1000 credits.

The t15 is alot fun (even mre than the m22 locust)
Eugh, I just played a match where a Chaffee sat next to the artillery at A1 for the ENTIRE MATCH. Even when we were losing horribly, he just sat there, saying he was 'doing his job'.
[editline]bsidoapdpasjiodasjd[/editline]
He got a total of 57 EXP from that game, survived, and did absolutely nothing. I don't know how people can be that stupid.
Ohh boy, the Conqueror is a totally different tank with the 120mm. The turret moves really fast for a heavy even without the top engine, and there doesn't seem to be any turret movement gun dispersion (with VStab). You just swing straight onto the target and shoot.
I'm wondering if the stats aren't so great because some don't bother to research the top engine. It's a big power boost (810 to 950hp ?), but because it's already fairly fast for a heavy with second engine (same as Caern top engine) I suspect that many just skip the 45k research and go straight to the Tier 10 and get the engine researched that way. I would think the top engine might be worth 1 or 2% of win rate.
Best looking tank in the game for me, and, after an irritating 80k grind, a very nice performer.
I did that.
What modules are worth researching on KV-4(except ZiS-24)?
Is a second KV-4's turret just have a bigger weakspot(turret with 45 20K)?
[QUOTE=Sprelle;39560319]I did that.[/QUOTE]Cool. What did you think of it ?

Go for the top gun first, turret last, and engine/tracks whenever. The engine is a worthwhile upgrade, since it means you can actually maneuver and go uphill at a slightly less horrible rate. I'd also recommend you train clutch braking.
As for the turret, the cupola is a fair bit bigger, but (as I've found out) it's also much better armored.
[editline]another note[/editline]
Oh, and I really hope you have the BL-9 gun unlocked from the IS-3 line, otherwise the stock grind on the ST-I will be absolutely terrible.

[quote]On the let side, SerB can select a nickname of the player he wishes to "take care of" - on the right side he has following options:

- make the player play against pros
- make the shells disappear (?)
- no penetrations
- reduce XP income
- reduce credit income
- make the player stuck
- when playing arty, put the player on city maps

And on the right side:

Been using the 7.5mm PaK on the Hetzer pretty much since I had it. Just put the 10.5 on it for the first time...........
[img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3864447/PICS/shot_003.jpg[/img]
Guess I should start using it. I guess since it's Monday it's easier to get the mastery, and definitely not the most impressive run in a Hetzer, but still the first time I've done it.
[QUOTE=Rollup;39560373]Cool. What did you think of it ?[/QUOTE]
I felt it like a minor improvement at best, to be honest.
If you don't mind me asking: How would World of Warships even work.

Glad to hear this from a second person. I like the Caernarvon and will probably make the effort to unlock the Conqueror. My Caernarvon is already fully researched other than the last radio. I really wanted to avoid as much of the grind on the Conqueror as possible.

Almost exactly the same as tanks, but on water and with arty replaced with aircraft launching carriers.
Used this Weekend to just grind out the Lorrane 40t and get my Batchat.
My god that tank is painful to play. The size of an IS-3 with the armor of an AMX 13.
Time to get back on my T-54. :yarr:

I went and compared it with the AMX 50 100. The Lorraine has a bigger silhouette, from both the side and the front.
Why the hell is the battlebus even a tier 9 medium? Surely they could've found something better to fit the gap between the 13 90 and the Batchat?

Don't get me wrong though, it isn't a traditional heavy. More like a big support role medium. Gets penned by most stuff. I like to hide behind rocks behind the main advance in the midfield. When it does well, it does very well.

If only the profile were as low as an IS3.
It gets picked on because its a :-
- huge target
- has a dangerous burst damage gun
- soft as shite
Why wouldn't you kill it first ?
Just managed to beat my old kill record of 11 kills with 13 kills in my 38t.
Sure one of them was an accidental teamkill but that still leaves me with 12 kills and a new record.
Really wish I had gotten myself the 38t earlier, because that tank is so damn nice and enjoyable to play.

*cough*AMX 13/105*cough*
It's probably not going to happen though, the Lorraine is already modeled and Wargaymen is not taking it out of the game. The only way I could see it fitting is
• Move Lorraine back to T8, replace with AMX 13/105
• Nerf the drum reload and RoF to balanced levels (aka slightly below AMX 50 100 levels, the additional speed should compensate)
• Give it its historical engine
• Place the Lorraine as a link between the Heavy and Medium lines
There's still one way they could buff the Battlebus, it doesn't have its historical gun elevation right now. Buffing it to historical levels (-8/+15) would be rather nice.

I'm about done with the Conqueror, erm grind I guess (it's far too fun for me to call it grinding), and I never got the top engine because when you unlock the FV215b the engine gets unlocked too (so, you have a bunch of XP).

This would cost you some credits though. Not sure anyone plays it with the top engine, and assume it's balanced around stats without it.
When I did the VkDB a year ago or so, no-one bothered with the top engine. I found it a totally different tank with the extra power, and quite enjoyed it.

Agreed, however, my brother was playing with me all Sunday. With his Batchat.
When a Batchat and a Lorrane roll up on you, my thought is to kill the Batchat first, not the Blunder Bus.
Maybe that's why I only win 49% of the time. On the other hand, the 3 Dumitru and 4 Pacucci medals my Brother racked up on Sunday while they shot the shit out of me means I'm probabily thinking right.

The top engine (I got it before proceeding on) is a noticeable improvement. Any way you look at it, it is a little shy of a 20% increase in power. It is a fun tank to play, so it was worth the extra time I would be spending as a result.
Me in my maus and some random pubbie e-100 were the only ones going the iceroad flank on mountainpass.
We fucking rolled in there and up the hill while I kept dinging shells and we managed to sandwich a t95 between us.
Gotta love it when you get to see some teamwork in a random tier 10 match like that.

I now remember why Tier 2 and 3 tanks are so frustrating sometimes. They rarely have the health to make for any kind of mistake at all. I kind of play them like tank destroyers at the higher tiers because of this.
