ha, killed a T59 in my amx 75, first unloaded 6 shells into his ammo rack, he only got one shot off before my next clip finished him
[QUOTE=dill6869;34099148]slow as fuck and turning speed is bad[/QUOTE]
I hope you mean the 85b because the 76 turns incredibly fast and moves incredibly fast.
Ha! I have successfully rounded the back of this JagdTiger! Prepare to meet your doom!

[U]Picking your tank tree[/U]
Heavies: If you want good armor and be able to slug it out with the enemies.
Mediums/lights: If you want to be a fast skirmisher go mediums or lights if you want to be super fast, if you like to sit in the back get tds,
Arty: If you want to be a dick get arty. Sit's the furthest in the back using it satelite overview to strike down the hammer on poor tanks since most maps got almost no cover and are just open fields.
Got a larger list written on the faction tank trees and general tips.
Has anyone tried out the french tier 5 heavy yet?

Yeah, it sucks. Can barely pen it's own tier. Until you get the 90mm which I didn't try out. It's a long painful grind until that.

Is it faster than the b1?
Or more importantly does it get more fucked by matchmaking?
[QUOTE=Wiseman400;34099975]Is it faster than the b1?

I haven't tried the B1 since I used free exp to reach it. And yes, it gets fucked by matchmaking. It gets put against tier IX and such, but if you're lucky it gets put in your tiers aswell where you are the top tier.
It's a slug with crappy gun, it struggles to get past 20-25 km/h.
Mess up a run on my chaffee (hit a edge of a rock), surrounded by type 59's. Somehow I avoid a late shot from a jadgpanzer 4 which ammo racks one of the type 59's.
3k until AMX 12t. Any good, or am I going to be hating my life until the AMX-13?
[QUOTE=Apache249;34100207]3k until AMX 12t. Any good, or am I going to be hating my life until the AMX-13?[/QUOTE]
Abhorring life until you get it upgraded. Then it becomes an extremely situational tank that (very) rarely will kick total ass.
Should I write a new-player's guide for the OP?
Yes.

equivalent of the A-20 grind, enjoy the shitfest
[QUOTE=Orkel;34100677]equivalent of the A-20 grind, enjoy the shitfest[/QUOTE]
Welp, I found the A-20 grind far better than the AMX 40.
And this was when tier 4 lights could be put into tier 10 games.
AMX 40 is pretty much the worst grind I've ever done. That includes 105mm T34.

oh comon its not NEARLY that bad
The last autoloading 75 can kill some serious shit if you can manage to maneuver to a good position

How not to get fucked up (much)
[b]
Step 1: Choosing your nation and tree
[/b]
Nations:
USA: Mostly glass-cannons. Their heavies have good turret armor, but nearly no hull armor in later tiers.
USSR: A good balance of all areas, usually excel in close up brawling.
Germany: "Heavier" heavies with more armor, more prone to long-distance sniping rather than the brawling of Soviet tanks.
France: Slow glass-cannons, however, their light tanks are usually pretty great for their tier.
There are 5 types of "branches" for each nation's tank tree. Mediums, Tank Destroyers, Heavies, Lights and Artillery.
Heavies: Exactly as the name describes, these are the tanks with the biggest direct-fire guns, the most armor, and are usually the slowest. Pick these if you want to brawl it out with other tanks in head-to-head conflicts.
Mediums: A mix of speed and guns. They usually have armor that is more dicerolls than actually there, blocking some shots and letting others through. Pick these if you want to be fast, but still be able to hit the big guys.
Lights: The fastest tanks in the game, these have little to no effective armor and usually carry small guns. They are extremely good at their tier, but usually get matched into very high tier games to act as "scouts".
Tank Destroyers: These are the true snipers, the guys who sit in the bushes and camp, waiting for you to blunder blindly into their path. Pick these if you want to be able to penetrate anything with your great gun, but at the sacrifice of speed or usefulness in a direct conflict.
Artillery: The biggest guns, they sit in the back and hit things without putting themselves in harm's way. Play these if you want to sit in the back and shoot at things you can barely see. (Point-and-click adventure)
Each type of tank has it's own playstyle and each tank has it's own strengths and weaknesses.

Really? The only things I could find to complain about the AMX40 is the ridiculously low XP you get due to your gun being turdshit.
The only downside to the AMX12t is the matchmaking imo
It's gun is very good for it's tier, it has nice speed, but it will pretty much never get in a tier 5 game, it'll always to tier 8-10
What we need for the OP is to get rid of all those pictures that cause so much lag and just have a good written part explaining the game with the WoT logo, the link to the mumble servers, and patch notes.

It's not a fun tank. Sure, it's armor is pretty strange(strong), but it's gun and lack of mobility make its designation of light tank almost condescending.

Tell that to the "heavy tank" B1 which has lighter armor and worse gun.

You cant call both glass cannons
Autoloader frenchies have MASSIVE burst damage and the US heavies have pretty much balanced guns.
The only US tank that is really a "glass cannon" is the T30

And tier 5-7 lights are fast

Well, only happens on Steam browser. But still, the pictures are far too large and seems weird.
