I'm in between upgrades so I've sold some tanks in preparation for buying the replacements.

 

i'm going to concentrate on getting a few more british tanks next, just hope they're faster than the matilda lol

 

Their not not until you get the Caernarvon at teir 8 the Black pince is slow but hilarious to drive. Either snipe from range or if something a bit too close facehug it and annoy it. The face hugging also reduces the chance enemy arty will join in

 

Just got myself a KV1S, why the smeg would you put the fuel tanks there? Glad I didn't sell my KV1 with the 85mm, need that tank to make me happy atm.

Can't wait to unlock the next 122mm or 85mm for the KV1S

 

go straight to the long122mm for the kv1s, it makes ALL the difference ( if you can cope with a 15 second reload )

 

This. Once the KV-1S has the 122mm it can outturn and out gun a lot of tier 7 heavies, with the 122mm on it it's easily one of the top 3 most ovrpowered tanks in the game.

 

its a great money earner ( even with the expensive ammo ) has the same alpha as an IS3 can bounce anything randomly and its a great tank once you get it tooled up its nigh on unstoppable at teir6
once your crew hits 100% start getting firefighting / repairs as it tends to be set on fire

 

I've seen a number of people use the word but what does "alpha" mean here?

 

Basically means damage per shot

 

Still can't decide if I should get my first tier 9 heavy, the E75.


I have enough Exp to get the upgraded tracks, engine and turret from day 1 and use the top 10.5cm gun from the tiger 2.
I think the top radio fug 12 carries over.

All I'd need to do then would be to grind the 60k exp for the top gun.


I get a lot of mixed feeling from people about the e75, so could do with some more perspective


Thoughts?

 

Mixed thoughts? Really?

The E-75 is THE best tier 9 heavy in the game.

Unlock it and enjoy it

Bewarned though, without the engine upgrade it is very slow.

 

also you might want to think about grinding a crew in a different tank for it before you get it
( think firefighting and repairs as a minimum ) thats what im working on, still have a crew to get my doubles but im really not to bothered about it for the while ( the extra crew will be trained for the vk4502a series once i eventually start that
just trying to grind silver atm, to many tanks on my shopping list
T32, VK4502A, Kv3 etc etc

 

From reading this thread I feel I am going to have to get around to downloading this. Any good beginners tips?

I wouldn't touch firefighting as a crew skill. I think in about 9000 games I've had 1 where a tank has caught fire twice in a round and for the first fire, I always keep a manual fire extinguisher available.

My number 1 skill that all my tankers go for is Brothers In Arms - this gives an extra 5% (same as ventilation) to their primary skills. After that, I generally go for repairs on most tankers, though I like to have Mentor on Commander, Safe Stowage on a loader, and Snap Shot on whichever takes it.

 

I went for the E75 in the end! By the time I fully upgraded it (bar the top gun) I had spent a whopping 4.2 mill!

So far though, I am liking it, especially how bouncy its frontal armour is. I went for a Large Calibre Tank Gun Rammer & an Enhanced Gun Laying Drive as extras while they are on offer, which added another 500k to the bill lol!

Always being middle of the tree or top is nice, no more bottom of the tree once you hit t9

Just 40k exp more to the top gun, which seems to have the similar stats to the Tier X gun on the JP2, that is to say great pen and damage, only this time on a vehicle that can take the return hits.

It is slow though, only really saved by good acceleration from standstill, even so, fire and move if there any arty, because it is proper arty bait. It is also painfully expensive to repair/resupply ammo for, even with a premium account.

All in all it has very similar limitations and pluses to the Tiger 2, so if you like the tiger 2, you will like the E75.
