Why do people complain about fighting tanks 1.0 BR above them? The 1BR spread is small enough as is, any less and you'd make it even more monotone and boring. Yeah sometimes you end up against Tigers with a KV-1, too bad. Goes the other way around too.

Because straight 1.0 spreads are pretty shitty with how poorly fluffed Ground Forces are right now.
Or maybe it's just me and I don't like fighting Tiger IIs every single match in my SU-85M and T-34-85.
Imo the jump in tier 2-3 completely blows tier 1 out of the water for most countries. Since getting the kv im having loads of fun again like with the intro tier. Tier 1 is garbage to me just because the guns couldnt pen at all unless you get lucky and flank the shit out of them without being noticed.
[QUOTE=lekkimsm;46854454]I've the last recent couple of days experienced, that when shooting at tanks, that despite animations, sounds an all the effects, the shot was never made. And i can shoot the same instant after the first "ghost" shot, which now seems to be the real one.[/QUOTE]
Packet loss most likely, your client does all that because you are shooting, but the server doesn't get the message about you shooting.
So here I am, suffering through having to fight Shermans in my T-50, and swarms of other bullshit in lesser tanks when I realize:

It hugely depends on the tank.
Generally "gun" and "agility" tanks do well even against far higher rank vehicles because their advantage is often barely diminished and their disadvantages (shit armor) are as big as ever. The most obvious example are things like the ZiS-30 and Marder, the SU-152 and KV-2, the, also generally most things German past era 1.
Meanwhile a tank that's meant to fight through thick armor while being undergunned and slow (KV-1 ZiS-6, early T-34s, IS-1) get really fucked over when they face things they simply cannot penetrate or flank.

It's hilarious to watch two early KV-1s slug it out for hours in Arcade. I have yet to see a SMK head to head.
[QUOTE=Doom14;46855740]This just became easy.[/QUOTE]
What's so good about the SMK? I've been considering getting one, but it really just looks like an early KV-1 with less mobility, less side armour, an enormous profile, and a 45mm dart gun strapped to the front of it.

More speed (850HP over KV-1's 600HP), few weak spots (as in one, frontally), the ability to tank inane amounts of shit due to extra crew members, same BR as the first KV-1. If you keep it face-forward and don't get upranked by 1.0, you stand a good chance of being invincible.
If you're fast on the gun of switching between primary and secondary, you can obliterate everything. Just load APCR into the 45 to needle crew, and rely on the 76 for damage. There's something magic about, and I already have 79 fucking kills on it for only 10 deaths.
It's everything I wanted the T-35 to be.

It's highly situational but try to ram an enemy tank in it at some point.
It's heavy as fucking shit, it can go relatively fast, and has no frontal transmission. It WRECKS PzIIIs and such.
As I said, the SMK is the closest I ever god to my sweet beautiful KV-5 back from WoT.
why is it so much harder to break the tracks a turreted tank? I can almost never do it to other people, and it rarely happens to me when I'm in tiger or something but the second i hop in my jadgpanzer i get tracked. Or are non-turreted tanks just balanced to be easier to track?
Just bought an SMK.
I regret nothing after the first round...
The T-28 is an Arcade tonk. If you happen to value your sanity and ability not to get mad at video gayms, please use this fucking thing in arcade.

I never bother to try to track vehicles in this game. It's not worth it. They repair fast, allow the tank to spin in place, and are surprisingly durable. You're better off trying to break the gun if you want a quick disable.
Ahhh, my favorite type of loss in RB; the one last enemy Cranberra goes to space and times us out of tickets on Hokkaido, ofc when I have 3 kills in my P80A...
Speaking of the P80A, anyone else ever get a cockpit glitch where the camera is set insider your pilots head and all you can see is a large black triangle in front of you?

Praise be to the SMK.
Me and Cookie just steam-rollered the last 5 rounds in our SMK's.
Praise be unto her.

[QUOTE=En-Guage;46858647]so does all fp play tanks now bc I never do[/QUOTE]
The only reason I play War Thunder these days is for tanks. I used to play the planes a lot but got annoyed with the whole spraying 1000s of rounds into planes, setting them on fire, only for someone else to leech a kill at the last minute.
I'm just hoping they fix that whole kill assist bug when you ammo rack people sometimes. It doesn't happen often but frequently enough that it's irritating. I'll see my shell hit the ammo rack and explode it on the shot cam but I'll only get the assist.
The chaffee is way too much fun, I love this tank
Don't know why you'd use the sherman over it
[editline]4th January 2015[/editline]
The "armor" maybe?
To the guy who said the 1.0BR spread is totally ok, go play the M5 Stuart and M22 Locust. Go get in some 3.3 matches with M4A1s and T-34s.

Yeah honestly I'd rather lose 10kph and have the thickest rank 2 turret armor in the game, and the significantly higher ROF on the 75mm.
the 3.7BR Sherman absolutely wrecks shit
[editline]5th January 2015[/editline]
yeah the hull armor isnt really gonna stop much but at least it wont get penetrated by HE shells like the Chaffee's armor.
