[QUOTE=Error_404;39721348]All things considered, I'd say it's still valid. I've got two Radley Walters, 5 Steel Walls, and all within 50 battles or so and a 63% win ratio. It's an amazingly fun tank, whether I'm using the heavy turret and 105, or the 'better' turret and the long 76.[/QUOTE]
Tell you the truth I actually prefer the 76mm M1A1/A2 over the 105mm since it has a better ROF and more accurate at long ranges.
Finally got a match in my stug where I was top tank, I did not dissapoint, 5 kills, Reaper, Steel Wall. Blam, blam Blam. Some light tanks tried tracking me, I did not like that so I chased the fuckers. Protip, if you're in a light tank, don't piss off a Stug who has just taken out 3 of your side in as many shots.

That's what I've been using for the moment, but I want to use up all the 105 HEAT I bought.

No no the M4A3E2 was called the Jumbo Sherman because it had very thick frontal armor and the M4A3E8 the Easy Eight because it had the "E8" in its name and HVSS suspension which made them much smoother to drive in
not because they're easy to play :v:
Actually something funny out of the WoT forums

Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog, Easy, Fox, George....... Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet. If you've seen Band of Brothers you'll remember Easy Company.
Mike Four Able Three Easy Two (M4A3E2). If it hadn't been nicknamed the Jumbo it might have been called the Easy Deuce, but doesn't sound as good as Easy Eight :)

E8 denoted the HVSS suspension that had a real smooth ride, i.e. easy going
The camouflage system in game may be annoying at times, but remember it's one of the major anti-cheat systems as well.
[QUOTE=MadCatMkII;39723269]E8 denoted the HVSS suspension that had a real smooth ride, i.e. easy going[/QUOTE] The Easy Eight wasn't the first tank that had HVSS suspension. They used the 8 to designate HVSS for the M4 series in most cases. E stands for 'Experimental' but when in production meant it was modified. M was to denote an Ordnance Number. A was to denote an alteration.
So Ordnance Number 4, Alteration 3, Experimental Number 8.
Lets just say that the name fitted both becasue it was a more comfortable ride and that Easy was the phonetic name for the letter E. The nickname stuck because of the double meaning.
first game of the day isn't inspiring me to play much

just get up to the top of the hill, and this fucking armada gets spotted JUST as it crests the hill (like 8 tanks)
no hits arty ded, kills me before i have the chance to say oh fuck
Armadas are the worst thing in the universe when playing as D. Max.

I honestly wouldn't mind it if they disabled custom skins if it meant I wasn't getting shot by a tank I Can't see because a shrubbery hides 1/3 of his tracks.
Camo never works for me, no matter how much I submerge myself in bushes, use net and have an exterior paint-job.
I still get seen and get raped by invisible satan monsters.

pro tips
disable the new shitty game modes, because they are shitty
Don't lead the pack of tanks when you're a T7 in a T9 match
As a IS, you have no place leading a pack to take on JP2's, KV-5's, M46's, and T29's.

It's not just custom skins you know, there's already mods to disable bushes and crap, not to mention actual hacks (custom skins aren't really "hacks") that wouldn't need custom skins or whatnot to highlight players across the map. Of course, some hacks wouldn't be useful still, such as aimbots, but still.
Also, what about artillery?

You want to put the bush between you and where you think the enemies are, as the game just draws lines between you and the enemy tanks, if one of those lines doesn't have to go through the bush, there goes the usefulness of the bush to you.
Also, unless you're a light tank, moving reduces your camo to 50% (I think it's 50%), so if you move into a bush and get spotted while moving in, then disappear, then any anywhere near smart enemy will shoot where you used to be.

When I say disable custom skins, I mean disable all custom content, similar to how certain CS:S or DOD:S servers have all custom content disabled. And I thought it should go without saying that arty would be removed if the camo system went away.

There's like a .01% chance of them ever removing artillery from the game, regardless of how flawed a concept it is, they are between a rock and a hard place; on the one hand, the artillery players (which, there are a lot of, most of them are the bad players who can't play anything else worth a damn), which don't want artillery removed (because they can't play anything else well). On the other hand there are the "elites" of the game who hate artillery because of the randomness it adds.
The problem is, the people who want it gone are such a small part of the community (and thus a small part of WG's income), whereas those who like (or even rely on it) make up a much larger group, a group which WG don't want to piss off (because money).

You're mistaking the fools on the forums with a loud voice for being a majority. I would be willing to bet that if WG put up a poll when you first log in on whether or not you want arty gone, thered be a good majority of the players voting for it to go away. But we'll never really know because WG are drunk shitheads who don't care.
And I know WG will never remove the camo system, the "big camo revamp" coming up is most likely to be just a small edit on camo values for HT's so they're easier to spot at distance.
So, now when I start a match I load an HE round and blast one of the arty on my team.
Usually doesn't kill him but fucks him pretty good.
And it makes it at least excusable when the fucker hits me during the match.
At least this time it [I]is[/I] my fault.

on the subject of KV vs IS, which is the better tree to go down? probably not all the way to tier 10, mind, since i don't think i can be arsed grinding past tier 8.

The IS line for sure.

If you do plan to go tier 10, IS-7 is still used in clanwars unlike the IS-4m. Its typically used as a shocktank. Though maybe the T110's have replaced them..
