I feel the same way I've kind of peaked as a player. One thing I notice about good purple players is they know the maps very well and can play positions not normally used. Along with using the terrain to your advantage it's definitely an area I am lacking in. I could never jive with 2nd line mediums always fail at playing them. Against all odds purple players seem to get their guns in the game and do damage no matter what.

My biggest gripe with people using heat was they didn't bother to learn the weakspots of the tank. Usually I would get in a good location to hide my LFP and people really couldn't do anything depending on the tank they played. 263's are still a quite rare and it's funny to see how some players go about trying to damage your tank. It's a unique tank and I really enjoy player her, but yeah the grind isn't that fun. I must have failed hard when searching I tried multiple entries and got nothing :/ AR-15 nice game the pool's medal has eluded me my entire WOT career along with Kolobanov

I searched and didn't find any threads on her. IMO this tank is a secret gem only thing that really ruins the tank is arty and people spamming gold ammo. The tank is very cheap to run as a tier X and can be a sniper or get in close to brawl. You really have to be careful against taller tanks cause they can shoot right into the open top. Other than that never show or side or you will get racked

Just fix arty, rework prem shells to do less damage, make HE somewhat viable, reduce the alpha damage of big gun TD's, and the fix maps. I'll be sad to see my 183 go, but she is an OP tank that's expensive to run. Really hope they rework the Foch 155 to have that 120mm would make it more interesting to play.

I just repurchased this tank back by selling my M53/55 and ConqGC (yay!). It's quite fun to play however it is a love hate relationship. Fuel tanks, ammo racks, engine damage, and even broken guns are common occurrences. This tank is so much more fun to play than the 121 the extra gun depression and hit points really help. I feel that WG will always make Chinese tanks inferior

First game after I read your post an Iowa shot me and detonated my magazine for full hp.

I'm around 170k from the Yamato currently and I can say the ship is a little underwhelming for her tier. The weak deck armor I can live with if it wasn't for the main turrets getting knocked out permanently all the time. I purchased the C hull last night which I was not planning on doing. Not sure if it's just a placebo effect, but the C hull seems to have better dispersion even though the stats are the same. I tend to play my Izumo more dangerously by showing broadsides between enemy salvos. I just can't stand firing 6 guns because you get that one turret who completely derps on the dispersio

This is how you carry a team of Derpitz hard...

My biggest issue right now is the Midway and cruiser balance. There is almost no reason if you solo q to play a high tier cruiser apart from the Zao. As a high tier cruiser you are forced to play at range because if you come within ~13km or less you will get wrecked by BB's. I see a lot of people ditching the cruisers and going for the BB's at higher tiers. There is also no reward for teamwork at all side from winning which no one seems to care about. Should they make cruiser shells faster or lower the arc? Or give them a designated target increase like Deus mentioned above.

As a BB player I'm looking forward to more of them (BB's) regardless of nation. Curious to see what their strengths and weaknesses are. Would like to see Italian tree next or French.

I was originally going to buy the Tirpitz too, but after the delay and the possibility of the game not being around that long I bought doubloons instead. I finally made it up to the Izumo and the high tiers are the most boring aspect of the game. Everyone is so cowardly because of the repairs costs. Then in matches without CV's you are either running or shooting at running ships for 20 minutes. I just heard now ships like the Kitakami/Ise will be reward ships since noobs cannot play them correctly. Seriously do the devs even think at all?

Yeah like a noob I took one on head to head and got wrecked Warspite hits hard Only reason I'm more interested in Tirpitz is the fast speed, gun traverse, rudder shift, and most importantly torps!

One of my biggest grips is the low tier carriers. Most of the low tier BB's have barely any AA and are just sitting ducks to skilled seal clubbers. In my New York a guy managed to take 2/3's of my HP before I even got into gun range or fired my first salvo. He dropped torps at 0.7 km which are impossible to dodge and none were duds. There seems to be barely any team work at low tiers and everyone just goes their separate ways. With 21 knot speeds most people cruise at full speed leaving you vulnerable. Then there are those matches where you have no carrier at all on your team. If WG decides to

I find both lines to have their +'s and -'s. The tier 4 myogi is just utter trash like the South Carolina. Then the US line is insanely slow until tier 8 which sucks when you reach the bigger sized maps. I always have the problem of being too aggressive or too passive. Kongo/Fuso are very fun and the Nagato/Colorado are just meh. Only made it to the Amagi and New Mexico on CBT.

What BB line would you guys recommend? I hear the Yamato is a better tier X.
