    Looks like it's referring to a piece of equipment, not the gunner - elevation or traverse wheel maybe. edit: neeevermind not inspecting the image closely enough

    Leopard 1

    (Ill advisedly) My first tier 10 only advantages it has over other t10 meds are extremely marginal especially in light of your lack of armor/autoloader/snapshot capability (vs rumeds/patton) - would kill for even some "unreliable" ricochet armor like on mutz or leopard proto turret - I can see why m48 patton is so well regarded all in all still enjoying it tho! (at least until I get obj 140) ps WG pls give this 105mm pen HE like brit L7 tanks (for the worlds tiniest buff) - historical as the HE is HEP (High Explosive Plastic AKA HESH)

    Have you tried HE penning soft targets (like other kolohousenkas) also:

    Sounds legit. This tank largely replaced T-34-85 as one of my main play4fun/creds tanks and I seemed to do OK in it - going back to 34-85 I can see that it's in another league entirely. #shouldhaveboughtaRudy

    re: rexxie/wn9 errors aside my best explanation is that large size, no armor, low hit points, bad gun handling & mediocre gun dep cumulatively make it a tough tank to play for average/poor players you have to be able to cope with the above to utilize the basically good combo of mobility, solid alpha/dpm

    Not going to vote but want to give a quick defense of Mittengard 1. teaches newbies BASIC MECHANICS OF DRIVING/SHOOTING without having to worry about sophisticated higher tier game mechanics or getting one shot by hidden arties/tds - it's basically FPS style gameplay with tanks which is imo FINE for an entry level map 2.Passivity/camping not rewarded - matches usually won by a strong flanking push 3. Mercifully short games - don't most of us agree that low tiers are basically a cesspit that anyone with half a brain wants to get out of ASAP at this point? ps anyone who thinks that Province was good map for beginners is a hateful goblin

    I'm not an amazing player but imo the 132 AP pen is already workable (with some heat sprinkled in), the AP pen buff is welcome but not "needed" I describe this tank as a T-34/85 that trades a little bit of almost everything (larger/softer/less gun dep/worse gun handling) for better alpha (and slightly better dpm) - it's probably the worse tank of the two (or at least the cruder instrument) but i perform OK in it and enjoy playing it TohtoriP - I use rammer/vents/optics but ymmv

    ^ Thanks for the input guys. I've had the Leo PTA for a couple of days now - loving it (free xp'd the 105mm). I went ahead with Sixth for Cmdr and Safe Stowage for loader, and camo across the board - haven't chosen 2nd skills for driver/gunner yet. Looking back on my choices for other (medium) crews I think I've overvalued some gunner/driver skills (particularly smooth ride?) vs camo/repair/BiA.

    I'm going to be claiming my first ladycrew for Leopard Proto (and later Leopard 1) shortly - anyone have input on crew skills? My thoughts are Sixth / Snap Shot / Off-Road Driving (not sure if I would be better served by clutch braking/smooth ride/something else here) / Safe Stowage also wasn't sure about priority of camo vs repairs - I've tended to go for camo first in my meds so far but I feel like I might be mistaken in this
