[QUOTE=Orkel;39315833]it's not shitty in the hands of people who know how to play, but if it's being driven by your average pubbie it becomes really easy to kill as it has no armor whatsoever, much easier than for example an E-75 being driven by a pubbie.[/QUOTE]
I remember the time before I tried out the t32, thought the armor was paper since I kept penning it with my long 88.
And then I got it myself and suddenly the tank was amazing with dinging everything.
Every tank is shit in the hands of a pubbie, but I regard Oreo as above being a pubbie so i'm asking him for his insight on the tank.
[QUOTE=OreoExtremist;39315861]Its a tier 9 that i can pen easily in my super pershing with 170 avg pen reliably. The is3 is a more difficult target to fight then the IS8 which may be User error but when the only thing on the IS8 that really seems like its worth a shit is the gun i dont really think its all that great of a tank. Just my opinion.[/QUOTE]
That does seem very much like that the player doesn't know how to use it considering that he should be using his speed to flank and not to mention the superb turret armor to hull down to compensate for the weak hull armor.
And the main improvement the is-8 has over the is-3 would lie with the mobility and speed of the is-8.
So if you keep seing slow or is-8s that slug it out with others then tell em to play their tank right, it's best suited to be played like a medium because of the high manouverability and the only real downside I can personally see about the tank is the low ammo capacity.
I highly recommend that you try out the tank yourself sometime, since it's one of my favorite heavy tanks.
[QUOTE=Wiseman400;39315814]Exactly how is the is-8 shitty?
Just being curious and I would like an outside view on it, since im having way too much fun in it.[/QUOTE]
People try to corner-pop you with the is-8 and you end up penning their front with a 90mm because you see them at an angle and your shell goes clean through because you're perpendicular to one of the armor faces.
KV1S feels so overpowered, Reload is 14 seconds! not that bad, not bad at all! and on top of that its faster than the M6, combined with 8 degrees of gun depression, just wow.
No wonder there is such hate about the KV1S.

Random as fuck armor, too.

The frontal armour is very good, but not at a 45 degree angle. Pubbies always seem to poke their front out at the ideal angle for me to shoot at. I love the IS-8 to play. You can be so aggressive in driving towards stuff rather than zig-zagging in single plane armour tanks.
Goon, Chi-Ha is a great tank. I only have an 85% crew and it's fun. The reason that it's 'server average' win rate is because the vast majority of players will only play it for 20-30 games to get to the next tier. It's no-reflection of it's capabilities. Look back in 6 months and it will rise (providing not nerfed) as a much larger percentage of games played in it will be pedobears.

watch, they're going to put the model with the headlight/box on top of the cannon and it would be considered a weakpoint.
Serene coast, tier 10 game with 4 arty, 2 tier 7, 2 tier 6. I'm in my tier 8 tank.
1 hit killed by splash from an obj 212. FUNTIMES
Also hiding behind a tall rock but nah, not like anyone is safe from an Ion cannon
So that's 2 dragon ridge games and 1 serene coast, AWW YEAH MAP ROTATION

oneshotting a T8 via splash is impossible, only if he hit you directly

Centurion..not the strongest of armour, or he gold rounded me?
Pedantic argument, artillery shouldn't one shot you with a direct shot either.

This is true, also I seem to be getting a shit load of tier 10 games. Last game, none of our team managed a kill, wtfffff
I did fuck all and still was top on the team, christ!
Optimal tank would have D.max depression, american bunker turret, the FV215b cannon; even if it had 1500 health, it would rape shit.

That's exactly how I felt about my T34's turret.
Until a T-54 penetrated it with a HEAT shell.
I felt violated.

Kilgore, you're either paying NO attention to what arty is on the opposing side or you're exagerrating. Both is boring to be honest.
It is not possible to have Tier 7 arty (Object 212) one shot a T8 medium without direct hit.

Edited my reply after you responded, realising my error.
Edit: But it does seem you are unusually susceptible to arty. I get really mad about twice a week due to flukey arty shots. The rest I die to arty because I'm a fucking muppet in the wrong place.
90mm. It is time that we part now. I'm moving on to greener pastures. Your services in my grind has been most commendable. It's just that..I'm going out with someone else now, someone who could help fill my desires and he is there for me more often...
Goodbye..

Ask DKM saber, he can verify the amount of times I get hit by arty when I shouldn't. Even random arty shots seem to hit me.
Like round start, random arty shots seem to hit me, not even breaking map objects giving myself away.

Were you firing your cannon? Were you in a tank-dense place in where players tend to often go and group up? Were you traveling through a high-traffic route to a certain place?
Arty players can easily take pot-shots at any of those.

I don't know it's happened countless times. Just going my own way or in a group, i'll get hit guarenteed.
It's not super common but it happens enough to make me really hate arty. Also no, not firing. It was like 15 seconds after round start
I sold my M48A1 and don't regret a single thing. Now I shall transfer my 4 skilled crew to my T69 and buy a Centurion.
Has there been any big nerfs to the s51 (i hope so) in 8.3?
Cuz my friend who likes playing arty(what a fucking shitlord i know) has been doing 700 damage hits constantly.
In the last pach he did 850-1200 damage a hit.
