NVM..all got back up

I've seen in passing Belarus is having some sort of protests against their authoritarian government, so it seems to be cutting the internet to disrupt their communication.

@Jesse_the_Scout As i understand, protests are related to recent elections. And goverment cut internet in Belarus. I dont see how this could disrupt NA servers, but anything is possible these days. Lets just hope for best outcome, and that violence will stop soon in Belarus.

With camo net so you get spotted while going into the bush. So nope. Also 450m with binocs is garbage. Also the gun is derpy yes.

Ill just wait what will come up next in store.

Somua, Borrasque and Renegade are the least annoying for good players

The DPM/burst is indeed glorious. The gun-handling on other hand is absolute cancer.

2.78 aim time (tied for 2nd worst among all T10 heavies)

0.24 hull dispersion (tied for worst with IS-4)

0.17 turret dispersion (Type 5 has highest 0.21 with derp gun and 3rd highest 0.12 with 14cm)

Hard to take advantage of 2s interclip without sending shots to the moon. Even shooting HEAT is a crapshoot. You basically have to be point blank range to get the most out of the gun, but then have to deal with the terrible armor and 12 km/h reverse speed.

I would say it's worth having due to how unique it is, but I don't know if anything other than the 183 makes me want to pull my hair out more.

@PityFool im on a credit grind right now, just so i can play 10s in peace later, and i staked cola for long time from mission so this set up will be no problem.

@RC_Tank i too sometimes get cocky and forget about how fast i can get cliped by T57, or perma tracked.

@dustygator gld, vents, optics + cola, and bia crew with smooth ride and snapshoot, i think(but i dont know), should help with gun handling(i hope). 

T57 is actually really fun to play with improved vstab and directives. Good enough that I drop gld for optics. It eats up tanks like nothing else and the turret is so random you'll get some free clips in if you learn how to wiggle.

252 it is. @ZXrage 140alpha more than lorr can be of more use in late game when you need to count on that one shoot to clean up, im too fun of big alpha.

@PityFool yeah, i understand that heat from obj140 can be soaked up by some random angle, track or spaced armor on 252, but as @Wanderjar said, apcr in flat side!?! What is up whit that?!

yeah the bullshittium armor is definitely real on that thing. almost as bad as the 257

@Wanderjar i hope it is. I didnt try it out yet, it just sits in my garage for now.

@PityFool its a destroyer of dreams for enemy teams. When enemy is winning and go for push hard, you just deny them one by one. 30 more alpha gives you 20dmg more on lowest of low rolls and 40dmg more on high roll vs 490alpha skorpion gun, if you look at it like this 30 more alpha is pretty huge. 

I run it with rammer/gld/optics, but I'm considering switching optics out for binocs, problem is that I don't have patience to camp, so binocs are barely in effect for me.

Much better for shitting credits than Löwe anyway, though I like both.

@CandyVanMan i prefer optics on most tanks for same reasone. Went with binocs cause just felt right.

EU has a lot more than that - a lot of them don't stream, or don't stream in English. Not sure on active server size comparison but EU is super active right now with Covid, and even FAME has become active again after Daki rejoined.

Reports of WOT's death (at least on the EU sever) were greatly exaggerated, despite what people have been saying on here since  . . . well, since I became a member.

Definitely frustrating, with a lot of flaws, but people still seem to be playing. Definitely a Covid bounce.

@Snoregasm2 WOT EU is still shrinking. Wait time show that. Also WG thinks that (fact, not what I think. Seriously what they say internally) 

Slow decline is slow.

play on Hong Kong server for WoT Hard mode.

@RedwoodOriginal WZ is a better tank. Lowe makes better money. If you say you are bad now think if you are worse hull down and sidescraping or playing vision games? For Lowe just watch out for the below mantlet weakspot.

Best just watch Skill/Circon/Orzy/Iyouxin in both of those tanks. 

@hazzgar cries in WZ-120 and 430 V2

@PityFool good point, two is better than one.

@hazzgar cause of equipment 2.0, wz could be crippled in vision games, and Lowe could benefit from 2.0 equipment. I might just go with both.

Valley plays gives you a lot of free farm for you IF 
1. there are no arty
2. you have the right kind of tank, e.g. T32 or Conq - but then you also need to push when the chokepoint is finally clear - and there's a TD camping position which can kill you
3. both teams have a shit tonne of heavies so that you can be sure there will be shitters on the other side attempting the same thing
In hulldown-y tanks, I guess you could make an argument that if all the conditions are met, you will contribute more by locking down the valley/pushing. 

I won nearly every time I pushed valley. The trick is to not go there when it's an obviously bad decision. Once I get over the center ridge the pubbies always follow and it becomes easy cleanup.

if u have turret armour u can valley

pushing it is good if amount of high alpha td's are low, also requires low arty and enemy team with shittier valley tanks than yours
