And another weird one. If my team hadn't been imbeciles and i had survived, this would be another steel wall... in a JgPanther? How did they even manage to bounce those shots, i don't know...

--edit: ok, no triple post, here is me getting Ace tanker in SU-152 by making good use of dat crazy DPS to wreck some shit and winning super narrowly:

Finally, thanks to the premium time, I have finished off my nemesis that haunted me for years, the PZ III A.

I know everyone says it's good. But I had like a 16% winrate in it, it is cursed, made me go somewhat higher but it was total junk for me.

Also hated low tier german tanks in general, until this happened:

At first this made me rage because it can't hit shit, also because of accuracy nerf.

But when it works, it works.

(yeah, I'm playing tier III stuff right now, my aim is to elite them all, and maybe tier IV later, which will be a longer thing.)

Nothing is worse than the tier3-4 french tanks. Oh, and DW2.

[Christo]

Haha french will be an amazing adventure indeed 

The only T3 I completed so far was the Arty, did very well in it, got an ace tanker.

But oh god the other three will be painful

i actually enjoyed the french tanks, the amx38 was really well armored, and people just had a helluva time trying to pen it, where as the amx40 for me anyways, kept getting higher tier matches and it would just get smashed, but the moments it did get into lower tiers, it did fine.  The B1 chars are also really good, again, the same problem as the amx40 duck tank.  The majority of these problems basically stem from the low pen guns, the guns are just fucking atrocious on the low tier frenchies, but the armor is so good for its tier.

Also what the fuck, please, please give us 9.6, i dont get why there always has to be these huge deficits in time between when RU, EU, and then finally last, of course, NA gets a patch.  You guys have had 9.6 for almost a week, and here we are still fucking about in 9.5, of course RU had it for longer then that.

Not sure if you want it, enjoy careless snapshotting as long as you can m8

no i want it, i seem to play the tanks with giant capolas and people can take snap shots at it from 500m and strike a 6 inch tall hunk of metal and destroy my tank, and of course do it successively.  So frustrating, i also think its absolute garbage that you can destroy a tank by shooting its capola.

Look at this then.

9.6 Supershing  8-)

[AntiBlitz]

Look at this then.
9.6 Supershing 

good, maybe my super pershing and kv-4 wont be absolutely useless huge hunks of steel, its just sad to me because they are "heavily armored" yet have these weaknesses that everybody can hit because we shoot lasers and not WW2 tanks with mechanical and manual controls.

in the mean time, im going to continue crying as i try to get the 3k damage needed in my super pershing and type 59

This guy blocked some 5000 damage with his Supershing according to this:

I think that this accuracy change fucked over TD-s with no turret and very narrow gun arc the most, because you need to turn the hull and it makes the aiming circle go crazy.

Had a marder against me that turned towards me and missed on very close range.

My T-34 became super meta, who cares if you miss, next shot comes up faster than I can aim.

Supershings are imba, were so even in 9.5, how can you possibly cry about them?

its just too easy to take snap shots at the springs on the turret, so easy in fact that you barely have to aim to hit them.  Thats my gripe with WoT's "heavy armored" tanks, because they are heavily armored, yet nobody gives a damn because its better to just take a tank thats agile, faster, more accurate, and has an overall better gun that will not only run circles around your slow tank, but have the laser accuracy to repeatedly pen those small weaknesses with .5 second aimed shots.

The meta of any unicum player is medium tanks, and its no wonder why.  Thats why im glad the accuracy is being nerfed, its about time a heavy tank can actually feel like it has a purpose, like it has weight on the field.

Also, the super pershing was completely overhauled, hell, they even reimbursed any player that wanted it after they changed it, which is why we are having the current E 25 issue, because they dont want to lose money again.  Id say the super pershing is in a fine spot at the moment, even better with the 9.6 accuracy.

anyways, my crying comment was more so associated to the fact that i always come close to getting the 3k damage needed, but i can never actually succeed in completing the mission, the type has a butt of a gun, and the super pershing is so slow i normally cant track down the last guy to score the 200 points needed.  I unfortunately dont have any high tier mediums beyond my premium, i just stopped going past the t-34-85.

lol, still can't be as bad as AT-2 line though

I've just about unlocked T-54 now, going to buy it with the 30% discount it has right now
