Nehkcist 222 Share Posted March 25, 2014 One thing I personally enjoyed a lot was shooting hull down T-29/32/34/Löwes. You still deal decent enough damage really freaking them out. Completly agree with the KV-2 being too situational though. Sold mine a while back but will never forget those crazy one-shots. Link to post Share on other sites
Agamemneon 1,079 Share Posted March 25, 2014 By the way if you ever run up against an enemy KV-2 while playing KV-2, shoot the flat area under the mantlet with HE. OHKO every time. Link to post Share on other sites
Garbad 10,517 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Spot on guide other than lol@Spall Liner on a 75mm plate or Optics on a 330m view range tank. Vents is the way to go. The spall liner is mainly to counter the excessive M4 derp spam you sometimes see and the vents make you slightly less blind, which is better than being totally blind. None are worth much, but then, neither is vents. Link to post Share on other sites
shin_getter 6 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Don't vents improve effective accuracy as much as gunnery skills? Food/Bia/Vents should result in much improved gunnery performance if stacked on top of each other? Link to post Share on other sites

Nehkcist 222 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Don't vents improve effective accuracy as much as gunnery skills? Food/Bia/Vents should result in muchminor improved gunnery performance if stacked on top of each other? Fixed that too. I tried vents, optics and binocs and actually liked the binocs most. Allowed me some crazy RNG auto-aim sniper oneshots I fondly remember while stroking my epeen. In the end it really doesn't matter much what you pick for a 3rd equipment there with vents probably being the most intuitive choice (as in only gun buff left to pick).

Eagle_Peak 73 Share Posted March 25, 2014 KV-2 is more of a novelty tank than an actual playing tank for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Trey 12 Share Posted March 25, 2014 What did you choose Eagle Eye over for your commander? Should I be considering Eagle Eye over BIA/repair/recon? Link to post Share on other sites
engineered 499 Share Posted March 25, 2014 What did you choose Eagle Eye over for your commander? Should I be considering Eagle Eye over BIA/repair/recon? Either he's got a ton of crew skills, or he picked it for the lulz of seeing all of that module/crew damage with the 152 derp. Link to post Share on other sites
Agamemneon 1,079 Share Posted March 25, 2014 What did you choose Eagle Eye over for your commander? Should I be considering Eagle Eye over BIA/repair/recon?His crew has probably gotten to the point you can stick random perks on like that. He said in the article you should primary Sixth and Repair, and BIA goes without saying if you're going to keep the crew on a derpy tank like this. Link to post Share on other sites

Garbad 10,517 Share Posted March 25, 2014 What did you choose Eagle Eye over for your commander? Should I be considering Eagle Eye over BIA/repair/recon? The crew is my medium crew I was leveling up to get my 5th skill. Since I knew I would have to retrain it anyhow, I tried out the skill to see if its useful. Its not worth it.

chris9000 2 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Love this tank. Definitely something to play when I'm on a bad streak or just want some derp4fun action. Link to post Share on other sites

Platypusbill 213 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Best lolderp shot I managed was looping a shell onto an AT-15's engine deck from slightly above him. Boom, 900+ damage to a heavily armoured vehicle two tiers higher. Link to post Share on other sites
Rexxie 10,789 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I had a little fun in it. It's shit, but it's worth being bad just to get those 1k damage rolls on tigers and the like. At least for a while. Link to post Share on other sites
