The T95E2 is an interesting tank, however I do rate the 59-Patton higher as it both gets the premium tank credit bonus (which the T95E2 doesn't) and higher pen with it's standard AP rounds (190mm vs 181mm). I really think they should buff the gun to 192mm penetration and give it the credit co-efficient, but it is still not a bad tank as it stands.

About the same pen as the 100mm on the T44 then, at least being an American tank you'll have some gun depression :)

Comparing tanks on tanks.gg it actually looks a very similar to the Centurion I, ignoring the pen difference the gun handling stats are quite similar, you just get better DPM, a slight loss of accuracy and less shell velocity. With a bit more hull armour, slightly less turret armour and a healthy speed boost on paper it doesn't look too bad.

I know it doesn't get any credit bonus but the AP shell cost is only 255 credits which is a kind of indirect credit bonus. Does it get any experience modifiers?

Not that I've noticed, but I think I'm on 5 games in it.

I'll try and take note in future and let you know though.

Feel free to platoon with me in it for a game or two if you want to see it in action. You will have to remind me of your in-game name first though.. (Cded?)
 
So not far away from my 5th female crew member and been training rest in the Pz. T 25 with a view of finally getting a German medium. Stuck between which line to pursue though, E50 M looks like a good brawler and always wanted to go through Panther tanks which look like fun. I do have to start the line all the way from Pz. III A and not sure whether the top tank holds up well being one of the "original" mediums? Suppose on the bright side with my progress on the German lines, most guns and modules are already researched.

On other hand have the Leopard 1 which is made of paper but has the mobility to cause problems with a slighter better gun and depression. Another bonus is that I already have VK 30.02(D) researched so can start from tier VII albeit it looks a little pants compared to the Panther.
 
Haven't played the Panther. But currently playing the VK 30.02(D) which they call the the real panther for some reason. Plays more like a Sniper for me. Doesn't brawl that well, especially when its bottom tier. Its armour doesn't hold up. But I do well in it. Gun is nice, lack a little in pen with standard ammo. I like it. Its better balanced than the 30.01(H).

I think the German line well to here which is as far as I've got. Is a little bit, expensive, and more flawed than it should be. Perhaps because its popular, and its to encourage people to spend money to get through the grind quicker.
 
Yeah looks a pretty meh tank really, definitely has the stats of a sniper but lacks the gun for it so suppose more of a flanker but isn't exactly the most mobile machine either. Could always fire little extra gold ammo to make up for lack of penetration when bottom tier and shouldn't take too long to get to Indien Pz. with its kanone.

Started playing the US light tank and up to T37 now which I am actually enjoying immensely with the non auto-loader gun. Having same problem as with all the other light tanks though as I play on a laptop so my FPS can dip as low as mid 10s in town maps and normally mid 20s and higher FPS certainly helps when playing these fast tanks.

There is one tank that somewhat disappoints me as it's not just what I expected it to be which is Centurion I. Surprised as I was really looking forward to it and unlocked the turret and top gun straight away with free xp. Was a bit of a pain trying to grind the top engine as it's pretty damn slow with a stock one but the whole tank just feels neither here nor there for me.

Gun is great and it's a decent hull down sniper but size of it makes it an artillery favourite and ammo rack is made of glass (just waiting for crew to get up to 3rd skill to retrain the loader). It isn't slow but out maneuvered by just about every medium, most of which are also smaller. Also if you're not behind anyone then most of the time tanks will rush you because they know your chassis is made of cheese and they won't take too much punishment with the low alpha on the gun.

The Centurion 7/1 is where the line starts getting good (even if it is underpowered at the moment). The Centurion AX is a fantastic tier 10 though that can do most things well.

Despite not liking it, I came out with around a 60% w/r with the Centurion 1, though I sold it initially as soon as I unlocked the Centurion 7/1. Bought it back but rarely drive it these days, recently moved the (2 skill) crew to the Conway.

Closest I came to being interested in a premium tank recently is the Mutz which appears to have been removed from sale now. I could still get AMX CDC which frankly seems to do the same job even better but as vain as it sounds I really don't like the way it looks?

At this stage though I just don't think I want to spend that kind of money on the game and already have my Type 59 and T 25 for credit making ability as running a non premium account gets rather credit draining on tier VIII and above. Only thing I'd like to add is the Tetrarch but can't get them without silly money or investing into those Italeri models.

Well looking at it I do have better than average stats on it too, just seem to have very polarising games in it and not enjoying playing it that much.
 
My surprise tank that I've enjoyed is Sherman III with the derp gun, excellent stats and turns out I have the howitzer talent at most ranges. Even got a mark of excellence and only 56 games in, thought you needed a minimum of a 100 to qualify? Onto Firefly next and see how I like the new British tank tree on that path. Charioteer looks rather insane and is almost like playing a light tank going from the videos.
 
Unlocked the British tier VIII Charioteer today, used all my free xp to get the tier X gun, crazy machine !! a Cromwell + Cruise Missile launcher :p
 
My accuracy is rubbish this weekend. I had premium bonus for a while, and I was missing everything. Bonus ended, now my accuracy is back to normal.
 
Well to put it into numbers my win rate has been around 54% over last 30 days and this weekend it's at barely 47% even though all other stats like destruction ratio and kills have actually been little better amongst others.

I am looking forward to Charioteer myself here, just on Firefly at the moment.
 
To be honest another big problem is that I currently have a lot of tanks in my daily rotation that simply don't have the ability to carry games and weekends tend to have a lot of those teams that just crumble in first 5 minutes. Although should have the M41 Walker Bulldog in my arsenal by the end of the day so that will cheer me up :D

Finally bit the bullet and bought E75 too which I had unlocked for over a year now probably. Unlocked the turret with free xp and should have enough for tracks this evening too, not to mention have 3 LT personal missions to do for that 5th female crew member.

Black Prince has also been a pleasant surprise despite being a rather weak tank on paper, it's worse than just about any other Tier VII heavy tank but somehow it simply works. Not sure on the Caernarvon but I think basically just play it like a Tiger, a support tank that's behind the main line and never lead a charge.
 
Strandard x5 weekend tbh, high damage and low win rate.

Got my STB-1 though, next tier X is either going to be the Obj 140 or FV215b 183.

I'm starting to get fed up with the RNG on shot accuracy, a little is fine but the current amount sacrifices skill for luck and the game is poorer for it.

They have talked about fixing that RNG, but we'll have to see.

Both Object 140 and FV215b 183 are good machines. Do you have a tier 10 Russian medium already? If so go for the 183 next, if not - 140.
 
The RNG is a lot less than it used to be with fewer shots going wildly out. It's OK on a <.34 gun but when something like the derp on the T49 misses from a tanks length away it is a bit daft.

I find the 0 damage critical hit more frustrating. Hit a M41 Bulldog with my E100 yesterday and just took his tracks off. The shell weighs as much as his entire tank WTF !

In the same way caliber will overmatch armour it should overmatch modules as well.

Mind you the game is so flawed we are just rearranging deckchairs on the titanic here (gold ammo, MM, powercreep, aimbots are all more pressing issues).
