What a disappointing way for the KV-1S to end up. This tank was my baby, but wow did it not age well. The only thing propping it up is how broken HEAT still is.

there is the KV-85, a KV, with a 122 on t6 :p

Except it seems to be atricous (perhaps woth food, bia, GLD and rotation its playable, but i doutb )

Sounds like fun

The KV-85 has horrible gun depression compared to the old KV-1S. IIRC it used to have -8 degrees back in the day, now it's like you have to stay clear of every little pebble on the map, or the gun will just point to the skies.

Playing a little more this year, its been a really chill experience ^_^
 

Right now Im trying out the new weird american heavy line, but Im only on the T7. The pawlack was enjoyable and super cute, but I dont like playing in T6.  The M-II has been more fun just because of its tiering. I was really worried about that giant turret tumor but Ive actually come to like it. People always try for it instead of going for something easier. 

Thats about it in-game! Im mostly just relaxing. Real life has been super good to me this year. Im happy. Im a couple years into HRT now and, other than constantly hearing “damn girl youre tall” i just live life as any other woman. Im apparently hot but the attention you get from guys get creepy really quick. Living with the love of my life and surrounded by some of the nicest people Ive ever met! Ziddy and I are still good friends too

Some more tanks Ive tried since coming back!

Prog 54 (ITA T8 HT): It’s solid all around, but held back by awful sustained damage output. VERY fast, very flexible. Very little bully power for carrying T8 games. Stock grind is terrible; the gun is awful, no armor, barely moves without a slope.

TNH 105/1000 (CZ T8 HT): Really weird, I don’t like it. Its a flex heavy that tries to do everything but just ends up feeling confused. Even at its best, when you really need a decent gun and some armor and mobility, its just a worse renegade. About as boring too, but not a dumpster fire like the 110.

Nothing fun to say about either of the T7s on these lines, they just slightly different versions of the polish T7. The italian one was remarkably bad though.

Another tank I got was the T-103. It has a bad rep, but I really like it. But then Im also the girl that thinks the 100Y is busted, so maybe me thinking the T103 is decent is not that surprising. Its the only tank above T5 that I run camonet+binos on. It can play as a bad heavy no matter what you put on it, but without equipment its super hard to lean into it actually being a TD. I think going with turbo over net might be the play, but I couldnt imagine playing a map like fishermans or ghost town without binos.

Hopefully someone who is struggling with the italian t9 heavy will come across this, use turbocharger. Hardening+Turbo+Vstab in slot 1, optics/vents over hardening for slot 2 for open maps.

Its so fucking slow that it barely ever functions as a support tank. Instantly fixed with a turbo, especially if you have bounty turbo or ground out the mobility slot. You go from terrible emil clone to something actually a little unique. That gun is good, just not on something that slow.

[Rexxie 10,788]

VZ. 51 (czech t9 ht): Actually dislike it? The autoloader really disappointed me, the burst is insane but there's just no reliability and forcing yourself to constantly take these 25 second reloads means you have so much less positioning flexibility. Even though this isnt the meta, I think the single-shot gun is way better at winning games.

Hai.

[Rexxie 10,788]

Hai haswell :3

Some more tanks I'm grinding or finished with:

 

 

• Semovente M41 (IT T5 TD): Really good for a basic T5 TD! Like a StuG on steroids. It's good as-is, but having the option of 3.6k DPM HESH rounds at T5 is crazy. Still a T5 TD though, which means it sucks in the grand scheme of things. 
   
• Semovente M43 Bassotto (T6): Very weird. Plays like a tiny ARL V39. On paper it looks good, but with no armor, no HP, 35kph top speed, bad accuracy, and no gundep its ideal situation is very hard to put yourself into. Very good when things play into your hands, very bad otherwise. Secondary gun is fun and will give you 3k+ damage games whenever people ignore you, but the shell velocity and aimtime means you're going to be forced into brawling in T8 games while playing what is basically a StuG.
   
• SMV CC-56 (T7): Just started this one, but very strong. It's just a rebranded heavy which instantly means it's ten times as reliable as the previous TDs. Running a lot more gold on this one than I'm used to counteract the .4 base accuracy, but again it's a heavy. The clip can be a little awkward when you want to push, but since it takes you 14 seconds to dump your clip a lot of players end up losing track of whether or not you're reloading.
   
• CS-59 (PL T9 MT): Really mediocre, but at least reliable. Cant think of many situations where I'd rather be in this than the AMX 30 Proto, T55A, or Leo PTA, but it does that same job well enough. Really miserable stock grind and it's disappointing how boring it is when they could have easily added turbo to it, but it still kinda works as a T9 chaisnipe med.
   
• M-VI-Y (US T9 HT): Fuuuck this tank. I'm just letting it rot in my garage until blueprints finish the grind for me. There's nothing remotely good about this tank, the only time it is at all decent is hulldown 400 km out. I will comfortably say it is the worst T9 heavy in the game, and wouldn't argue with someone that said it's the worst T9 tank period. Terrible armor, mediocre gun and mobility. Seeing this top tier on your team is a sign you're about to have to carry your heart out.

Also finished a couple 3-marks; the FCM 50t and O-I, with the O-I Exp and WZ-120-1 pretty much in the bag at this point too. If I want to finish my JP HT 3mark collection like @leggasiini (love u but u need to spend less time on reddit) I'll need to grab the Type 5 which I'm really not looking forward to. The Type 4 was a difficult mark for me a couple years ago and I can imagine a Type 5 3-mark is even more frustrating.

My performance is pretty solid now, 3.8k WN8/65% WN8 this month. Could be better if I hadn't played everything stock and sold all the SPGs in my garage. Current superunis are still so, so much better than me though, I have a lot to learn about the current mapset.

Finished every tech tree! I got pretty close to this back in the day, but couldn't bring myself to play arty. Finally broke down and finished the UK/US/RU arty, the last two CN LTs, and with a fairly boring CC-1 Mk.2 match, I finished my last grind.

Holy shit you're still alive!
