[QUOTE=mecaguy03;39996067]Honestly I am not expecting the tank to be much better with the 88. I found that the penetration for that gun is a little lacking.
I can make do with the first turret and the L/70 until I get enough xp to get the second turret and gun. I want the best engine before that though.[/QUOTE]
I never understood why the DB received no armament upgrades from the 3601. It's like agreeing to fight higher tier tanks in exchange for less armor and HP/ton, while getting only 7% more RPM and an admittedly higher speed limit. At least the Panther has its L/100.
Also the reason I want to use the DB to get to the panther/tiger is that it just less XP at the moment. Going from the VK3601, it is less credits and xp overall as opposed to going through the DB, but I have already researched the DB and bought it once before, so the way I see it I am spending more credits for less of an XP grind, even if the 3601 is fun.
And right now I have credits to spare.
The 3002 DB would really be a great tank if the 88mm on the thing wasn't so inadequate at tier 7.

Hell yes. Only 10k left until the Jagdpanther is elited, so I'll grind this weekend to pump up the wallet and crew. Sad that I have to sell it for the Jagdpanther II, but I gotta keep moving to the Jagdtiger.

Same reason the KV-13/T-43 have those terrible 85mm guns; tier 7 medium tanks blow.
If only they threw in exp bonuses so I can play with M5 more.

Sir I'm going to have to ask you for your ID
Just unlocked the VK3001!
Aaaaand I'm too poor to buy it.
[QUOTE=scout1;39996565]Sir I'm going to have to ask you for your ID[/QUOTE]
I enjoyed it, but it felt terribly under-gunned with the constant stream of tier 8 and 9 battles I got into.
[QUOTE=Error_404;39996484]Same reason the KV-13/T-43 have those terrible 85mm guns; tier 7 medium tanks blow.[/QUOTE]
At least the KV-13 has some frontal armor. Though I hear it's speed took a nerf about a year back.
The VK3002DB needs to have its penetration uped to 140-150 to make it sort of equal to the other tier 7.
[QUOTE=Toyokunari;39997185]The VK3000 series' 8.8 needs to have its penetration uped to 140-150 to make it sort of equal to the other tier.[/QUOTE]
I never used the 88 with the 3002, i saved the weight and stuck with the 75 with the stock turret.

dese lights be fun
60k more until M48 Patton.
I can just..taaste the rubber of the treads.
[QUOTE=scout1;39992962]Churchill I before it is worse paper than the churchill 3 which at least gets random trolly armor. I went through it for 50k exp to get the churchill GC. Kind of questioning my ~master plan~ now.[/QUOTE]
I found Churchil I better than both Churchil VII and and Black Prince.
At least it has a gun which is still relevant at it's tier.

I hope you enjoy the taste a lot because there's not much else to enjoy on that thing.
It's a T110E5 who they caught naked mid showering and who just wrapped itself in towel for protection and nothing else.

It's the easiest to spot tier 10 medium, slowest and least agile tier 10 medium, and T-62A has a better gun anyway.
This is the first time I see my ping dip into the 60's I love the multi-cluster.
I have 20-40ms ping on both clusters V:v:V
Hmm pondering getting either the 8.8 Jagdtiger or the Lowe, not quite sure which one to get.
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;39998283]Hmm pondering getting either the 8.8 Jagdtiger or the Lowe, not quite sure which one to get.[/QUOTE]
8.8 JT for sure.
Was thinking that because I'm more experienced with Td's than heavies tbh.
You may have a hard time when you get placed into the tier 9-10 matches with just a long 8.8
[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;39998345]You may have a hard time when you get placed into the tier 9-10 matches with just a long 8.8[/QUOTE]
afaik the JgTiger 88 has preferential match making and never sees tier 10s.
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;39998283]Hmm pondering getting either the 8.8 Jagdtiger or the Lowe, not quite sure which one to get.[/QUOTE]
I would definitely with JT88.
It's the same "sniper" class tank but with respectable DPM and armor.
Basically the only thing that go for the Lowe is the fact it has a turret and the bit higher penetration, but that's somewhat invalidated by the fact it has worse matchmaking than JT88 (it can see tier 10s, JT88 doesn't).
JT88 also apparently makes much more money (ammo is dirt cheap).
If you want a T8 gun heavy, you should go with T34.
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;39998335]Was thinking that because I'm more experienced with Td's than heavies tbh.[/QUOTE]
The T34 is just a better Lowe anyway. Although the JT8.8 isn't really the most fun premium because it's so slow (unless you like going slow).
[t]http://i45.tinypic.com/2djp9bc.jpg[/t]
Only 1st Class? Sheesh.
EDIT: Oh, raw XP was only 844. I thought I would have done more than that. With that in mind, I'm actually surprised it was worth a 1st Class
[QUOTE=DaMastez;39998394]The T34 is just a better Lowe anyway. Although the JT8.8 isn't really the most fun premium because it's so slow (unless you like going slow).[/QUOTE]
Isn't it still faster than Lowe?
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;39998400]Isn't it still faster than Lowe?[/QUOTE]
JT8.8 max speed is 28, lowe's is 35; and the lowe's traverse speed is 2 deg/sec faster as well.
Your typical high tier premium player
[video=youtube;_2hvo8oGsS4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2hvo8oGsS4[/video]
The JT 8.8 shines in defending one line.
With that crazy RoF and good armor you can hold many enemy tanks under suppressive fire:v:
