Man, realistic ground battles aren't very fun these days with Brits and US winning 90% of games. Doesn't matter who I play, one sided stomps are not fun.

made AND edited another video, pretty proud of it and my shot
Vegas is cool too.[/QUOTE]
That was a simple but beautiful shot - IRL the Horten would probably just turn into a cloud of confetti.
How the actual dicks does anyone ever get any 8.0 modifications unlocked to a playable level? Playing without parts and FPE is absolutely awful, but even with premium it takes about... I dunno, 30 games or so to get to one damn modification. And this isn't even playing total lemming, I'm doing the best the vehicle will allow with the limitations of a all-stock Leo 1A1A1. Rushing a point with my relatively good speed, getting the cap-points for the RP, then hanging fairly close to it and defending/sniping in case I get a breech, traverse or barrel damage so I can repair on the point. This gets an average of 1 cap and 1 kill before dying because I don't have HEAT-FS and FPE.
Is it just meant to be absolute pain, or am I not doing it right?

Former, 100%.
Also L7s don't need HEAT-FS, you can subsist off HESH for anything that isn't a Tiger II or Maus, typically. It makes the slog to the HEAT-FS pretty easy.

I cannot for the life of me hit with HESH due to it having average velocity with crazy zoom on the Leo, which makes it feel derpier than the god damn Brummbar. And as I said, it's stock. 100% stock, despite having played and won quite a few games with premium. Not even parts. So I got the darts, which just randomly won't pen things, and do next to no post-pen damage on a good hit, despite the fact that the 84mm APDS in the Chieftain seems to be fuckin' magic nukes.
Or maybe I'm just coloured by frustration, and it's all fine but I can't see it.

I actually had to use giggles to get HEAT for my leo the grind was that slow, second you get it your driving a completely different tank.
I am pretty sure that the whales that instantly geagle their way to the new top tier vehicles and then hit "buy all modifications with gold" button are the primary source of income to Gaijin so don't expect this to drastically change anytime soon.

I feel my options are either to GE a talisman to pair with premium to try to help out, or GE everything vital in it and be lame.
Finally ground out the M26 and the Panther F.
Been playing this game since beta and i'm still not with the V crew. :s:

[QUOTE=Timebomb575;52457239]Youre not really missing [I]that[/I] much tbh[/QUOTE] True, but it means being more flexible when i go to play with friends, admittedly my max BR for tanks is 7.0 at the moment so i can cover anything.
Besides all that the sweet-spot for me is either 3.7 or 5.0 regions.

Era V is not really fun after the initial "whoA" exposure.
Between everyone having 400mm+ pen HEAT-FS or ATGMs, it's a very homogeneous and bland experience.
I would kill for a bajillion more vehicles in Era I-III for me to grind and play than continue trying to unlock the fucking Type 60 ATM.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. I got premium account with a 15% booster for a total of 115% RP increase. I get two caps, two 'real' kills on T-54s and one kill on a chump driving a M16 SPAA, and I still only get what, about 10% of the research bar for fuckin' tier 1 modifications.

Yep, welcome to hell. Suffer it, buy past it, or put a talisman on your tank. Blame Gaijin for cranking the tank rewards down to next to nothing initially because "too few tanks, don't need people getting everything too fast ))"
Without a talisman, you're never going to break 5000RP/match for modifications on a single vehicle, 3000RP+ is pretty lucky. So you're looking at 11 excellent matches, 20 mediocre ones, and 40+ "I capped and died, fuck" for a single modification.
The only Era V tanks I have a significant amount of modifications on without a talisman are the ZSU-57-2 before hullbreak was added, and the IT-1 which is just raw cancer.
Just wait until you have a tank that has 80,000RP modules.

[QUOTE=kirderf;52436467]the biggest meme in the game with armor that makes you laugh at anyone you face in its BR. And the Comet with APDS can oneshot pretty much anything when you learn to aim for ammo.[/QUOTE]
Ammo shots don't always work, sometimes they just blackout without exploding, which's why I always prefer knocking the gunner out first.
[QUOTE=O'Neil;52457483]Ammo shots don't always work, sometimes they just blackout without exploding, which's why I always prefer knocking the gunner out first.[/QUOTE]
I do believe a black rack without exploding means the rack is empty but the system doesn't actually keep track of how much ammo everyone has unless it's needed so it renders in the hit-cam as full.

my top tip on playing Conway: [sp]don't[/sp]
if there's one thing I wish they'd add is that ammo racks actually count for ammo, as in, if your ammo racks get hit but it doesn't detonate, those ammo are now useless.

The only fun thing about top tier tank battles is getting to use some of those lovely jet attackers like the blunderjet

While that would be great, there are two problems with it.
First: you can't allocate ammo in ammo racks by yourself, they are always drained in a set order
Second: 99% of tanks don't have each separate shell modelled in each ammo rack.
[QUOTE=Riller;52457034]I feel my options are either to GE a talisman to pair with premium to try to help out, or GE everything vital in it and be lame.[/QUOTE]
Actually to correct myself earlier, I used giggles just for the shell unlock (as in that one unlock not getting to it) and then put a talisman on the tank so I could grind with it, I honestly think the leopard 1 is the best tank for germany to do that in save for the 1a1 but alas I cannot be ass'd grinding another leo when I could be getting my gepard.
So, having not actually unlocked it yet; I'd like to ask: Is it an absolutely retarded plan to use the Rakettenjagdpanzer 2 (non-HOT) as a very-close-range urban ambush vehicle? I know it's designed to be a long-range sniper, but a mix of its incredible speed, rather impressive pen, having two rockets and the awful manual guiding system makes it seem to me it'd almost be more suited for hiding in rubble, alleys and behind corners to wait for someone to pass by, then slam two 380mm HEAT rockets right into their side-armour at 10 meters distance. I've had a fair bit of success using this tactic with stuff like the Brummbar, StuH and other derps in the past.

Perfectly fine to use it that way, but you have two shots before a very lengthy reload.
[QUOTE=Doom14;52459366]Perfectly fine to use it that way, but you have two shots before a very lengthy reload.[/QUOTE]
Well, from my experience using the same rocket on the Strv, one shot should do the trick 90% of the time, so the second shot is really more of a just-to-be-sure backup sort of deal.
I love being able to use HESH and not cry.

considering i can work an hour at my job and afford to fully hitlerbux the shit out of my brand new tier v vehicle and then some, it makes sense for a lot of people who don't have the time to grind to do so and enjoy their shiny new tank

(not that i give gaijin money anymore, but it's obvious what they're intending and you're right that they will never change it)
What the flying reich.
