Marek Tucan Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Angled KV-4 can be a monster, just as Bojan said.Angled Churchill may produce nice bounces and tracks can absorb some damage, BUT if you angle too much you risk nasty stuff coming in through sponsons.
Max H Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) On camponovka when the cap is in middle of West side; Is it best to go down or up the East side or go over to the West? Teams seem obsessed with the East side. I work on the West side. Wondering what you guys thought. I've had good results carefully pushing the middle of the map, between the lake and the village. You can only really make headway when the hill is secure though, otherwise you're buggered - but thinning the attackers going up their side of the hill is satisfying. Edited January 23, 2013 by Max H
RETAC21 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 The small hillocks work great for sniping, but not for long.

cptcav Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Victory! Map: Mines Tuesday, January 22, 2013 8:15:00 PMVehicle:: Cruiser Mk. IVExp: 1,360 + Credits: 19,650Achievements: : Confederate Clubbing seals with gold rounds and a 3-skill crew tbh... I really like the Cruiser Mk. IV and may keep it; although, I did a little better in the Mk. III. I'm working my way up this tree fighting at least 100 battles in each tank. I have about 45 more battles to go in the Mk. IV; then, I am on to the Covenanter. So far, all three tanks starting this tree have been enjoyable.
Skywalkre Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 The KV-4 is a beast that suffers from the same probelm that plagues most heavies: it will win the fight where it's at but doesn't have the speed to win a game. I was doing great in mine, had it fully upgraded, and still sold it. Fully upgraded it's probably the best tier 8 heavy right now, though.
Skywalkre Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Anyone in the know know if there's any truth to some of the statements in there? Basically, with some supposed sources from the RU forums, the consensus was almost nothing is ever done on reports made. I kind of figured that already but I have a rather pessimistic outlook regarding WG from how they've conducted themselves since I've been playing.
Fritz Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I had some guy doing that in my t28 prot a week or so ago...so I turned and backed up and said "here, have my spot"...then I sat behind while he got shot to pieces and then said "thanks for the free shield" and used his body to cover my side. LOL I've done the same a few times.

Ola is very beautiful. I love her eyes and smile. However, I guess some mentally challenged people could like this other girl more. We must not ridicule them, but pity them.

I was doing great in mine, had it fully upgraded, and still sold it. Fully upgraded it's probably the best tier 8 heavy right now, though. Right now I am running mine stock because I don't have the gold to convert free xp to upgrade. I have trouble hitting tanks at distance. But it can take some shots. But an E-100 ripped huge holes in me yesterday. Even angled. So I like it but it will take time to get it upgraded. In a different game a E-100 tore my Löwe apart too. I hate E-100's.
Skywalkre Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 My experience is ever since the gold -> credit change most folks running E-100s are throwing gold rounds. Don't worry about them. If you're high tier, and when you get fully upgraded, you'll dominate your immediate area on the map in the KV-4.
Skywalkre Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 You know you have a shitty team when an M5A1 gets 1/4 the kills and finishes 4th in total damage... in a game where tier 7 is high tier.

If you're high tier, and when you get fully upgraded, you'll dominate your immediate area on the map in the KV-4. E-100 is utterly useless without gold rounds and often even with.

E-100s are XP pinatas. I load HEAT and punch them in the face. trolololo

That complete rebalancing of all vehicles can't come soon enough (especially for the German tree).
JamesR Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I have to disagree on the E100 being useless. I just recently picked one up and am loving it. Just ~20 matches in it so far but only 3 losses. I don't even have the 150 yet.
Fritz Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I have 38% w/r with it over at least 50 battles. Though I'm just not too good with super heavies (my E-75 is also pretty bad at 54% wins I think).
Stefan Fredriksson Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 http://wotlabs.net/sig/na/Stefanfr/signature.png See, even window-breathers learn. Not that 40 battles are significant. But still.
Marek Tucan Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Chi-Ha can be dangerous... Oh, you wanted Chinese tank, right?
Edmund Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I like Pico (like is that REALLY her name?). She looks cute in dogtags.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv0xE4k2kVg As for WOT, is there much really to try on the Chinese line? I got a bit stalled at Cromwell and Churchill VIII and I dont have a lot of time at the moment. If there is some monumentally superb tank within easy reach I may be tempted however... Pico is cute. But I don't like her chin (Maybe I like it less than the rest of her face would be better). I know I am being Mr Picky. But we all have different tastes. Mine is just the best. As far Brit tanks go I like most of them because I like them. Matilda and Cent being two of my favorites. Never big on the Churchill. I like the Conqueor (And got "the" book). So I will work towards that and Cent. Just like I worked to the Pz III, Pz IV, Tiger, Panther and KT. Had to have M4 and Easy 8 for US. Also, I am trying for the M103 which is taking forever . Oh I had to have the IS-3 too.
Colin Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 The problem I see with the E100 is so many player using it, go forging out alone and then being focused on by every enemy tank and arty that can. A E100 in a group is quite dangerous when well handled.
