Top gun in it really makes that tank shine. Hide your lower plate, its made of putty .... and the tank suffers from ammo rack a lot more than other tanks.

The worst thing about it is all the tier 10 games, I did it a long time ago and I kid you not it was like 60% tier 10 games, 30% tier 9 games and 10% tier 8 games. You will struggle to have an effect in a tier 10 game.

Bring some gold ammo.

ShadowHearth

Is -3 is great tank when it is fully upgraded. ( i guess you can judge any tank only when it is fully upgraded)
As said above, lower plate is made out of tinfoil and ammo rack is directly behind it. It's annoying as hell. Other then that it's a great bruiser with great gun.

As for me... I had a few games in T28, which is stock, and I really hating it. It's painfully slow and so far I got penetrated every single time. Makes me wonder, whats the point of all that armour. I'll play a bit more, but more and more I think I needed to go T30 way.

ShadowHearth

Well, my Is-8 Mastery badge. Not a fantastic game, but looks like Mastary badge worthy. If I would not had been Yolo killed by IS-3, it might have been better score.

ShadowHearth

My opinion about T28:




Every single game I get engine blown up and every second game I am set on fire. So fecking sick of this thing. I am not sure if I will have enough patients to grind it to get T95. The thing is horrible.

Canis Lupus

And all you have at the end is a TD so slow that the match is over by the time you get to where you need to be.

Canis Lupus

This game infuriates me and makes me want to cry all a the same time. Entire team save me and an arty went all to one flank and they ALL died in about 2 minutes. How does that even happen?

The speed is not even the annoying thing. It can use Shermans nickname "Tommy cooker" and be proud of it. I got 14k xp on it already and only one game I had tier 8. A TD, which relays on its Armour in tier X game is more useless then VW Jetta with 2 flat tires.

On another note, I am so sick of playing with retards. I am really playing a lot better lately, but I just cant get wins at all. So frustrating being on top 3 all the time in losers team.
Arty is another topic. I actually started to rage. Flanking in T44 ferdinand, getting perfect timing between his reloads and just parking behind his arse is so satisfying. Then when you done and feel awesome about yourself you get shaved more then 2/3 of your health 5 seconds later by a retard clicker.

ShadowHearth

New record, got set on fire in my T28 2 times in a matter off 5-6 seconds.

ShadowHearth

So yeah, I am having a complete love/furious super derp rage hate relationship with T28 right now. I am still to get last gun for it, but I am not sure If I will be spending much time with this TD. I am sure now that I am not going to use free on damn thing. Win of the day it's all she is going to get.

MM for this TD is just stupid. I don't see nothing, but tier X games. It's just useless there. Funny enough I played in T34 and met T28, I decided to try out the shot at its front plate and surely enough I plowed through it like knife through butter.
Then in some games I manage just to put fear in to enemy lines. It's more of psychological tank, then effective tank. Sometimes I just go Yolo head on and enemy team just panics and shoots me all over the place. It all ends in them bouncing, retreating, and my team rolling in. When T28 works - it's super satisfying, but the rest 99% of the games it's just a matchbox waiting to be set on fire.

BigEejit

I had the very same matchmaking in IS-3 ages ago. Mostly I was in the bottom 2 or 3 tanks getting derped by higher tiers....very rarely getting tier 8 games..

What bugged the siht out of me though was a couple of other guys in the clan were getting loads of tier 8 matches and having a great time in their IS-3's. I literally spent twice as long on the IS3 as they did. Fcuking wargaming and their craptastic MM.

ShadowHearth

I just researched ARL 44. Even at stock I am nicely surprised... I did had to free XP turret though... If I would have been seen with that thing in public, I would kill myself...


I am thinking to free XP at least to a first Decent gun.

ShadowHearth

Well, looks like its becoming my monolog thread at this stage. Ah well, I might use it as my blog so :pac:.

I am a bum again now. Only 1.7mil to my name after these 2 weeks. I bought T28 ( as you know from my bitching ), ARL 44.
Today alone I got Tiger II and T-54 ( my second Tier 9 tank, woot woot! ).

T-54 stock is horrible so far. I think I might to play it a bit passively and get Tracks and turret, then Ill just Free xp the gun.

Tiger II is actually interesting. I did splash out on free xp to get all the bits, but not a top gun. Top is only 25 extra pen, so I can live the current Gun. Already managed to get 12k xp on it. I dont really like the gun so far ( I know its not the top gun, but it is almost same. It has low Alpha damage.
The other thing I realised about Tiger II - its horrible for credits. Its just a black hole. Even in games that I do a good bit of damage I still managed to lose credits. Looks like repair costs for damn thing are massive.

The ARL 44 is surprisingly good, the front and turret are surprisingly bouncy when angled correctly

You really need to get a better gun on it as well (oh and enjoy the ammo racks while you have them; it's not for long...)

To lighten the mood, I present this glorious last second save in my Matilda IV:

Yeah, the gun looks fantastic on paper and a lot of youtubers praise T54 for being a very good brawler. I am looking forward in playing it when I get stuff on it, but stock it is just painful.

I noticed tiger II is having engine in front too... At least it is not as bad as a some TD I might know.

Spear

And since I'm having a strange day:

The damage results alone tell the story of that one. And a bonus moaning StuG who gets beat out for the Top Gun.

.......

"Only 1.7M to my name" I think the most I have ever had in my account was 2 million. And I have only bought 2 Tier 7's so far! Looks like my grind is getting harder soon.

I enjoy your blog here....lets me see how others view the gameplay. I recently got Sixth Sense on my 2nd tank....JPanzer IV, I also use this crew on my E25.....so as you may guess I am loving the E25 with Sixth Sense. Next up for it should be my T49 crew, really like that tank, as it seems to do well even in bad MM.

In terms of spending my credits I'm trying to unlock some German Tier 6 tanks at the mo.

Spear

I've converted that T-34 game to Youtube video, so you can all bask in my reflected glory. And more importantly to see if 1440p works:

Well, when playing wot, you always need a place where you can bitch and moan a bit lol. It's a shame I am the only one who does it, others are too high class for that :pac:.

E25 was on my buy list, after I already got T34, I sort of have no more interest in premium tanks. If I need credits, I just fire up T34 and open my big sack with dollar sign.
Funny enough, I was watching some Russian youtubers and from some "lose" research in turns out that jagtigger 8.8 is the best for credits.

I might get E25 or Lowe and some point. I do play a lot of german heavies and Tds.

Class? Oh no, it's not like that. It's just that if I stated my opinions on the level of average players, especially since school holidays kicked in, I'd just get myself infracted or banned.

The E25 is not so much for credit as it's damn fun to outrun your team's light scout tank towards the enemy lines :pac:

It would be more for crew train and fun. I am working in Borsik line right now, but I plan on going the other German route too. So yeah, crew training would come in handy.
When it comes to credits I just use T34. That thing just pushed me off from owning other premium Tanks. Just no need for them anymore. I do loot at Lowe as potential buy someday.

I bought the 8.8cm instead of the Lowe. However I find it no fun compared to the E-25 or other T5-T6 German TDs.....too slow for my liking.

Oh, I agree with that. It's not my cup of tea at all. If I do go for these heavy armour bastards, I at least like them to have a punchy gun. 8.8 is just meh for a behemoth like jagtiger.
I would go with E25 over jagtiger too. I am just saying that shockingly jagtiger is a good earner. That video was a bit oldish though, so who knows what changes were since then.

I was wondering, does kv-5 ever come on for sale anymore? Or is it a relic? I sow a video of some vk74 too. Now that was a weird tier 10 tank.

5 Loses

On another note someone advise me. KV2 or T150? (I'm pushing the IS line so the other line will be more of a hobby) Just wondering is the KV2 with its derp turret a bit of fun to play?

The KV2 is a good tank but really needs to be played as a support tank due to it's long reload. When I'm in my KV-1S I love coming up against KV-2's, sure, they might get one good shot into me, but I'll kill him every time as my DPM will always overmatch his.

The T-150 is an interesting character, you don't see many of them but some of our Unicums play it and enjoy it. I also watched a DezGamez video the other day where he made an interesting point, if the long awaited KV-1S nerf does arrive one day, the T-150 could become a more interesting prospect.

Other than that they both share the IS chassis, so they bounce fairly well, and both have large turrets and in the case of the KV2, feckin' huge so you can end up being shot a lot when you can't reply.

I'd probably go with the T-150 solely because a tracked KV-2 is a dead KV-2. TBH I don't really feel either are worth it and I'd call ya crazy for not getting a KV-1S.

I already have the IS line. I'm up to IS3. But I have the xp on the KV to spend and just wondering as a hobby to go for the KV2 or T150. T150 just strikes me as ordinary though.

Drweavil

Were I you, I'd convert the xp using gold, but if that's not your thing go with the KV-2 which will give you more fun moments. But for ghods sake, whatever you do, don't get caught out in the open in it!

He can't convert if it other tanks are not researched.

I would go with t-150 just because that line actually have a future and kv4 might be a fun tank to play.
If you go with kv-2, then the only option you got is to go scumbag line and drop suitcases on other tank drivers.

Played only 3 matches today before I had to go. Won 2 and lost one, but I was on top of my team.

Hopefully I'll be able to run away and play some more wot.
I did had a very bad few days in wot, but funny enough my wn7 and wn8 went up by good but, but my win ratio just plummeted lol.

copeyhagen

was away for 2.5 weeks, came home tuesday evening played few games, won nearly all of them and enjoyed it a lot after the break. got ace tanker badge in tiger i for a loss!

ShadowHearth

What a day.... Started off in my T34, which was instapoped by enemy arty at very start of the match.
Then a mix of okay games and **** games.
And a pinnacle of today was when I played T28 and tried to hold my position, but my own team T34 just blocked me in from behind so he would hide his hull and I would get all the shots. After few firefights I told him to feck off and give me some space, but instead he called me noob and just started to push me out in front of enemy fire from a cover. I killed enemy tank, did some damage and survived that with 9hp. I called him an asshole, so he just turned to me and killed me.... Called me a noob and idiot few times, rolled to his death and then called all our team noobs and ******s.
We lost and I just jumped in to other tank to play on. When I came back I sow that he went in to private chat with me and gave me **** that my score was lower then his and that I am a complete noob. ( I did played T28 with only Second gun, but I still managed to kill 2 tanks and do 1600 damage ) He added me in to ignore list too so I could not say a thing to him...
Right after that I played ARL 44 and got one shoted by G.W.Tiger as soon as I got in to position. I did not even see who scouted me out.
