Also: All change for Ze Germans next patch. New tier 4 heavy, VK 30.01H moved to tier 5 as a heavy, VK 36.01H finally reclassified as a heavy, the short lived (and basically made up) VK30.01D removed and replaced with the VK 30.02 M

Where did they say this? It looks like the DW is the tier 4 heavy, the 30.01H becomes the tier 5 heavy on a stub branch past the 38 nA, and the 30.02 M replaces the 30.01H.

About time they got around to making the 3601 a heavy :P

I really need to reinstall this, but other games keep grabbing my attention and my laptop ain't a gaming machine by any means.

I just got the T69, fully pimped minus the top engine and radio, and my fucking word is it mean as fuck. Even without firing gold I just nabbed 3.1k damage and a kill in a match where my flank entirely died and did nothing. I was a bounce away from killing a T-43 and an IS which would have put me at 3 kills in a terrible match.

Check this out for some T49 abuse.

Yeah, that's someone scoring 2350XP, undoubled, non premium. In a tier 5 tank in a tier 7 game.

I'm really fucking glad that the one time I've seen EJ in a game he was on my side (I've matched against, and killed, Quickybaby and Highflyer15).

That's the T49 for you, absolutely insane at vision control. But getting 2350 xp? THAT is skill.

Especially after the high tier pen, APCR, and HEAT nerfs. If you're in front of an E3, just go somewhere else, it's not worth trying to hit those tiny weak spots.

Although people are saying that now the E100 is back to being trolldiculous at pubstomping because it can sidescrape forever and its tracks and side skirts will eat all the HEAT the enemy can fire.

In addition, the accuracy buffs make it far easier to hit weakspots with the once inaccurate 150mm. E-100 is fantastic right now.

Woo. 3k gold for a game in the AC 48. Still hate the damnable thing. It'd be less appalling if they increased its hp pool or made it aim faster, but as it stands it's an inconsistently armored ISU with half the alpha.

PSA: This times 10 for the KV-4. Too slow to get anywhere, not enough armor to matter when you're not top tier.

Do you have the max engine and suspension on the T-150? It's not as agile as the KV-1S but it was still able to keep along with most of the tanks when I played, and since my style is to be in the front lines that was a reasonable priority for me.

I've still only got the middle engine and I need to reskill my driver into Off Road Driving because this is an old crew with the wrong skills. The top one should make a fair difference, but I'm still expecting lots of stolen farm, the terrain passability even on the upgraded tracks is pretty ugly (that makes more difference than most people think, enough that the IS-2, despite having significantly less horses than the IS, is equivalent or better in mobility).
