If the Jagdpanther is still as broken as it was in the CBT then I'm going to hate Era 4 even more than I already did. The thing has no ammo rack, so the only way to kill it is to kill the entire crew one by one. The IS-2 seems to have a big enough round to do this in a practical amount of time, but the T-44 is fucked when it comes to these Jagdpanthers. I hated these things and because they were so unkillable and practically zombie tanks, more often than not if you miraculously managed to disable one, they would just hold J and deny you the kill.
Jagpanthers are pre-BR adjustment Sherman broken and ruin the otherwise pretty well balanced Era 4.

Speaking of researching tanks to go up eras, do you actually have to own them? I have 5 tanks researched for the Russians (BT-7, T-50, ZIS-30, T-60, T-70) but I'm still at 4/6.
[QUOTE=Timebomb575;44843784]Ever played the T-26 and thought "Man, this thing is terrible, but I dont think its [I]quite terrible enough[/I] "?
Well boy howdy do we here at Gaijin have the tank for you![/QUOTE]
Try the T-80 and get back to me.
It's literally a T-26 at BR2.3 for no reason. The T-50 is better than it in every single way, feature, function - right down to the god damn cup holders.
Also how the heck are you guys grinding so fast.

You don't have to buy the previous tank to research the next one, but the counter for unlocking the next era still goes by owned tanks. So yeah, you still do have to buy them, except now if you only care about one line you can just buy the cheapest tanks in era and move on.

[QUOTE=Doom14;44843344]All the benefits of the Stug Ausf A, with better tiering and a turret - with the only downside being paper armor.[/QUOTE]
that's kinda a BIG FUCKING downside tho
The PzIV Ausf C has literally worse armor than PzII. The stug has literally almost twice as much armor.
The PzIV C has less survivability than Flakpanzer which is at least tiny.
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;44844188]that's kinda a BIG FUCKING downside tho[/QUOTE]
Try the age-old tactic of not getting shot.
It's how I'm racking up kills in a GAZ 72K. Shame my team is too fucked in the head to even bother capping. AI units are more useful than them.
STUG is aerodynamic as fuuuuuuck. Racetank.
[QUOTE=Timebomb575;44843451]I dont really get why I would want to drive TDs. They are exactly the same as their medium tank equivalents with regards to firepower but lack a turret and the ability to call in arty
they dont even get better BRs most of the time[/QUOTE]
The first stug has considerably better armor than the equivalent PzIV.
The second stug is, indeed, arguably, not significantly better than it's contemporary PzIV (actually I think it's faster!)
The /48 JpzIV has better armor, better gun, and smaller profile than it's contemporary.
The /70 JpzIV has lower battle rank and considerably smaller profile, while armor and gun are fully comparable to that of the Panther.
Jagdpanther - Better armor and gun than Panther (it gets the same gun the VERY LAST PANTHER gets, 1.7BR earlier).
Ferdinand - Brick, obvious, still better gun.
JagdTiger - Carries heaviest armor of all German tanks currently available, as well as the most powerful weapon of all the ones available guns in the game.
Nope, no difference.

Or maybe I can drive the Stug and plow through the enemy lines while their guns harmlessly plonk at my actually functional armor. (unless it's T-50s. Then fuck that).
Yep, six losses in a row.
Unless I carry my team the victory on a silver fucking platter, they'll sit in spawn, shoot at birds, drool, complain that the game isn't more like World of Tanks, and generally do fuck all.
Where's the option to team up with AI? At least they capture points.
Two things I wish carried over from wot is GUI moddability and wider variety of maps but while I doubt they will unfuck their forever bad GUI, maps should be only question of time.

And also my KV-5
I know it wouldn't work and ruin everything but I still miss it.
I feel giddy when I play kursk in my pzIV f2 and one shot kv-1's and t-34's at 500+ meters off of snap shot guesstimations.
The guys that are in Era 3 already, are you playing arcade or realistic?

Don't they have the same gun? The same Pak 43 on the first 2 King Tigers?
So, I do have to compare and bitch about the game as to compare it to WoT. Because of reasons.
I dislike how it's impossible to have the FoF indicators in some form, always available. I got a teamkill because one of our tanks follow an enemy column, so I shot him because there is nothing showing his allegiance, except a small, easily missed blue dot.
Speaking of which, while I realize that there are enemy/friendly outlines showing when the enemy tank is selected, but it is so difficult to see, it's hardly worth anything. For fuck sakes, this was the last thing I would expect to miss from Wow.
Next, the minimap is awfully hard to read. Every one is a line, so good luck noticing that one pixel flanking all of you.
Having to buy vehicles to advance. But everyone bitched about that here, so hopefully they'll remove that.
+/- Era matchmaking. Having T-46's go against KV-1's is hilarious but pointless. WoT problem hey could have largely avoided.
It looks worse (on Ultralow) than WoT on Ultralow, while having half the FPS.
I mean, this is some obvious stuff. The game is enjoyable to a great point and serb can shake in his boots, but it suffers from many a thing that happen in WoT (bad teammates, annoying matchmaking, balance).
I'll grind some more, later.

Then again, the IVs are so damn fragile, no matter if it's a 37 or a 50 it will blow your ammo up if it penetrates through its paper armor. The IIIs can take a heavy beating and get a better gun to boot.

Oh good, it's not just me who despises the entire worthless GUI
My favorite feature is having two of the same style rounds and not being able to tell which one is fucking which in the middle of a match.
My favorite feature is knowing next to nothing about the status of my vehicle or crew

Your crew is dead at all times. And always alive. Maybe.

how's the banning system work in this game? am I free to flame the shit teams as much as in WoT (1 chatban per year pretty much) or are Gaijin super vigilant?
You'll get chat banned pquick.
[QUOTE=kenji;44845541]You'll get chat banned pquick.[/QUOTE]
not true at all
Finally got the Hetz. The armor is just as good as I imagined. The first match I took several hits from Russian 76s and none did any damage whatsoever - finished top in points and that's today's thundering over, shall get the Pz.III M tomorrow.

you only ever get chatbanned if talk shit in Russian
I used to use google translate to just translate racist nonsense into Russian or translate shit like "Crimea is of belonging to Polotsky, not into Rus!" just to see the chat light up with moonroons.
What nation's tanks should I invest in first to have fun?
Russia is easier at the start but the tables turn at Era 3.
