The only thing that's almost sure to cheer me up playing this game, is getting reminded just of how fucking badass the BV 238 is.

My own team, fucking morons. Enemy team, slightly less morons. I end up trailing three spitfires or so simultaneously.
Norway, I fuck two bases, gauge out a load of landing crafts by just skimming across them and letting all my fucking battle stations have at 'em, one booger showing up, and another. Fuck one up, get a little dinged up in return and four engines running a bit red. Now casually just having a sail on the waters, chewing up one spitfire, and the next, while gently coming to a stop along the fjords inland.
I do not regret getting this thing.
What's the playerbase like these days? Was considering a reinstall.

Same as usual, dying down a little with the pre-patch wait. If you're on the fence, in a week or two. A patch is going to drop, people are going to be rushing blindly towards potentially bad vehicles, and the logged-in players will double for awhile so there's that.

realtalk about the IS-6 though, it'd be [I]super fucking nice[/I] if gaijin would actually publish stats about vehicles when they have the audacity to put up for 'pre-order' without any discount with practically zero reason to take the risk aside from a skin and a title (literally who cares about those though)

They did this with the T29 and... the KV-2 ZiS-6.. and the Strv (?).. and the Wyvern and the KT Sla.
Granted, only two of those were entirely new-ish and couldn't be estimated. But yeah, it's shitty and weird that they don't just at least post the in-game stat card. Good thing I have literally no reason to get an Era IV premium for USSR right now. :v:

ZiS ain't really that OP considering where it sits and how not-good it's armor is. It's like a Russian Conway (as much as we've meme'd it up in squads of them, it's more that we had teamwork over it being hot shit.)
T29 on the other hand is an American KT for all intents and it's kinda bullshit we don't have anything in the tree on that level. Spergshing doesn't hold a candle to it (or anything really.)
I have a feeling IS-6 is gonna be insane though. It's a better IS-3 that wasn't fielded due to cost, that has a gun that reloads faster than the IS-3/IS-4.

Sloped armor seemed like it was overperforming as-is. Can't wait to bounce m103 rounds off of t34/85s head-on again.
"A bug when an APHE round’s fuse didn’t detonate after penetrating the driver’s hatch on T-34 tanks has been fixed."
What an oddly specific bug to have. Really takes the nog for a jog.

Yes, apparently that specific change was increasing the HP of the driver hatch armor section... but it doesn't get destroyed or lose HP, so it's really not clear what exactly that's changed.

Roughly 85 m/s to be specific which is terrible.
[editline]e[/editline]
For comparison:
German HOT: 240 m/s
Brit Swingfire: 185 m/s
Slav 3M7 Drakon: 217 m/s
US MGM-51 Shillelagh: 320 m/s
HESH got buffed.
All L7 normalized to [B]155mm [/B]pen (was 150 for UK, 145 otherwise.)
Conway, Conqueror, and Chieftain get [B]180mm [/B]pen now instead of 150mm.
Type 60 SS keeps [B]145mm [/B]pen
FV4005 has [B]275mm [/B]pen.
Ru-251 gets 90mm HESH with [B]105mm[/B] pen. This round should be on the Kanon90, but isn't atm. It should also be available as far back as the M46 Pershing.
T34 only has AP. No APCR, APDS, APDS-FS. Round has 247mm pen at 10m.
Which kinda sucks and as a birb said "bounced off a Tiger II H UFP at point blank looking down into it, don't even slot this trash."
Upside is, post-pen for HESH and large-caliber solid shells (120mm+) got buffed.

just to clarify, does this include sub-calibre rounds for 120mm+ guns, or is it pretty much exclusively for T34 and M103?

The Type 60 MAT is the saddest vehicle I've ever seen.
8.0BR
It's huge.
It's basically unarmored.
It carries 6 ATGMs total. They're not even animated. They have no traverse/elevation/depression.
The ATGMs travel at 85m/s. They're hand-aimed.
The only benefit is the 500mm pen and 5 hit points.

Which is weird since I seem to recall someone in this thread saying it was historically tested with nearly every shell type [i]except[/i] normal AP.

You're thinking T30.
T34 only had HE, Solid AP, APCR was in development and canned. APDS was possibly tested. APDSFS-T might have been (definitely was on T30.) The T34's gun was developed and modified as it went onto the M103, which then just went "fuck it HEAT-FS 4 lyfe"

I read somewhere the Type 64 MAT missile is so slow it could supposedly be used to curve the missile to hit targets at a better angle

We should have finished the job. :v:
Unsurprisingly it's going to be one of the most masochist ground vehicles in WT so that sounds pretty in line with all Japanese trees.
