haha. Ok, you started it

Maybe the grind of that TD line has made me bias towards the WT but I don't think it is that OP.

1. It has no armour, even the hull can be penetrated by tanks at tier 9 & 10.
2. The gun gets damaged nearly every shot it takes and makes it really inaccurate.
3. It's has no camo value and so easily spotted from any distance it seems.
4. When spotted, everyone stops what they were shooting at and aim at you!
5. It's not nearly as quick as the Foch 155 but it does have a turret.
6. It's no where near as well armoured as its counterparts including the JgPzE100.
7. I had to grind it hard - it can't be OP dammit!

It has a decent HP pool though, I face them in an E-75 so everyone can pen me in that match as well I've died a lot against a WT when it just rushes me and takes me out (normally towards the end of a round when I don't have 100% HP but the WT does). I get a shot or two in but that's it, boom boom boom boom, dead. Their camo isn't that bad, I've seen them "re-cloak" whilst moving at far distance (after they just blasted the tank that spotted them to smithereens!). I don't have T10 tanks, I was hoping that at T9 armour would come into play more, but unless sidescraping there's not many that bounce

I need to grind some free XP to get the big gun on the E-100, although many say it needs gold ammo to work?

I bounced at least 4 shots from a WT yesterday angled behind the rock near the cap on Pearl River in my IS-4, he was like a Klingon Warbird constantly re cloaking in the usual arty spot.

I got clipped in about 5 seconds by a e100 in my 704 yesterday and I couldn't even see him let alone shoot him. Is that balanced?

5 seconds you say, he must have missed or bounced a couple of shots to take that long. Doesn't sound unbalanced to me in the slightest! Also, I didn't know the E100 had a clip loader.

The grind is really easy especially tier 8 even even with the 150mm gun with ap

I still had to grind it and grinding tanks in WoT nowadays is like pulling teeth from a hungry tiger. I swear thats the last time I grind in WoT. They can kiss my sweet behind from now on.

Only crap tank was tier 7 and you skipped it

I only converted 10k xp remember

By the way, if you've not already guessed, I'm replying with a very much a "tongue in cheek" attitude.

1. Not easily though regarding the hull, regarding the turret, I think most tier 1s can pen that! (Why it's less op than the Foch 155...though still OP!)
2. Yes, but even a .29 gun when damaged will be more accurate than a few guns when not damaged!
3. Now that's just wrong!
4. Yes, because they all fear it. I get that in the FV215b 183.
5. True. Foch 155 gets an engine nerf in 8.11 by the way.
6. Only the turret has bad armour!
7. lol.

I was starting to think this was the case yes!

A Bias eh? Name 1 Russian tank which is obviously overpowered compared to it's counterparts, excluding the KV1S

LOL
So not allowed to mention that the most OP tank in the game is Russian.
TDs are getting nerfed and the Foch 155 is getting the biggest nerf. KV-1S isn't getting nerfed this patch and it still only rumored to be getting split, nothing set in stone. Personally I don't feel the Foch 155 is OP, I just think a lot of players brains are UP so they don't know how to deal with it. Even in my E-75 I have never thought "oh ****, a Foch 155, run". But when I see a WT E-100 I reverse as fast as I can regardless of what tank I'm in.

Because I've just mentioned the obvious one, the KV-1S. What is the point in lots of people using the obvious one as an example of a Russian bias? Using the same logic I could say both the French tanks (Foch 155) and Germans (WT E100) are biased.

And you're a rarity in those thinking the Foch 155 is not overpowered.

 

[no_1_dave]

And you're a rarity in those thinking the Foch 155 is not overpowered.

Because I have one and like it
In all fairness though, I didn't think it was OP before getting it either. I new it was strong and looked really fun

I will admit, being able to bounce 6 WT E-100 gold shells, then kill him in 1 clip does seem a little OP, but it has so many weaknesses I still blame that on the WT being a noob, not the 155 being OP

sigh...so, i started playing again http://wotreplays.com/site/552845#team decided i would start playing the french. The BDR G1B is pretty awesome with the 90mm

 

[Edrof]

I got a blue account as I was killing too many of our AFK scum. Oops!

yeah its a pretty good tank that can give the kv-1s a run for its money.

The arl after it is also pretty good once its maxed

 

[Soulja]

But everyone already knows there is a bias without this needing to prove it.

Can you check the Renault thread in the motors section please? Got a question about the remap on your Megane. Cheers.

I propose a new rule. You can't call a tank OP before you've played it. I feel that once you play a tank, you begin to fully understand its weeknesses. That is all.

For the record. The Foch155 is OP, the T57 is not OP, undecided on the WT E100.

i would have agree, originally though KV1's and KV-1S's were op, got them and played them and realised that they can be killed quite easily if you actually aim

played the arl in the beta, the top gun....oh it is fun

 

[Silent UK]

KV1-S is OP as the guns awesome for its tier (Based on 243 games and 71% WR)
WT E100 is OP in the right hands/situation, but can fail real hard if your not loaded/get surrounded. (Based on 120 games and 61% WR)
Never played Foch155/T57 so can't comment on those tbh.

Don't you dare come in here spouting your reasonable arguments.

That's fine. I played the Foch 155 on the test server, and found it OP there, so yes I have played it!

And I have both a KV-1 and a KV-1S. The KV-1S is vastly OP (like the Foch 155) as it has reasonable armour and a very very good gun. The KV-1 however has very good armour, but a gun that can miss the side of a barn from a metre away...

Hot wired said he had good success using the 57mm I think. Might need to use premium ammo sometimes as its like the Churchill 3 gun
