Got the top gun on The Emil 1. Much better. Much less chance of bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, wait 35 secs. T10 games still tend to be bounces, spotted, dead. But to be fair that is what happens to T6s in T8 games.

Would far prefer a +/- 1 tier spread i.e. a game with t8/9 or t7/8. Also when will they bias the MM to 50:50 matches. Just share out the strong/weak players so both sides have them.

That will be the day when they sort out the MM.

Tonight has been a night of fantastic WN8 farming and loss after loss, at least been getting courageous defense bonuses. Yesterday I played like a potato and won most of my games :p
 
Its mad when that happens. So frustrating. My screenshot above in this thread typifies my life yesterday. Today has been a lot better.

Grinding the Udes03 and the Emil 1 - both now have the top gun and are so so much better.

When they get the top engine I might start liking them quite a bit.

The Udes is a one trick pony, but it does do that trick very very well. It is very much like an AMC ELX with a much much better DPM.

really looking forward to the STRV103 as that can actually bounce incoming shots.
 
One bright side is that I managed to get a mastery badge on that piece of rubbish Challenger and almost nabbed a Kolobanov's on the M4 Sherman. Do love that machine, so much fun!
 
So i finally have a....T55a in my garage!!! Whoop! Such a relief as i was on the final missions 8 months ago and it has taken me this long to get them done!

I did a fail platoon in my T-44-100 with two mates in T9 tank destroyers. I managed to kill two enemy TDs one tier higher and get the 2000 damage done :).
I never managed to completed the 6000 damage in a TD despite getting above 5500 multiple times in my Deathstar and obj.268.

Onwards to the Obj260 missions. I never intend to try and get one as i'm not good enough, but 300,000 for each mission completed is a nice bonus.

(I played a few games in the T55a...i wish it had usable gun depression :()
 
Congratulations! I am very close to it myself, I just need honours on the MT15 mission and TD15 mission and it'll be done. Either that or finish the LT missions which I am on LT12 for.

LT12.3 should be pretty easy as are the next two platoon missions, i reckon you can get through those in a few attempts. LT15.3 is a bit of a swine, needs a decent T7 or T8 LT and a lot of luck regarding maps/teams etc. I did it with the M41 GF "Blackdog" on Redshire.
I really recommend fail platooning for MT15.3 with higher tier tank destroyers. It is so hard to do a mission that 9/10 you fail when the battle loads up.
I can't comment on TD15.3 as i never completed it!
 
Sometime you play with a team that just totally restores your faith in the game. When a group of players work well together.

Other times you don't.....

Oh don't worry, I've been collecting rubbish teams recently.....

I think this was even worse....

How can an IS3 at top tier do ZERO damage


omg.jpg
 
I had one recently where I was in my TVP VTU in a Tier 10 battle, me and a Panther 2 topped the damage charts on just under 3000 each and then no-one else did more than 800. That was a mighty depressing game.
 
That's me out with my old laptop then!

Man I'm in love with Sherman Jumbo and a handful of games away from unlocking the Charioteer so can be done with Challenger, that is one hard tank to like.

EDIT: Indien Pz. is so much better after the buff now as well, plays like a real medium tank.

Those changes look gorgeous. But will make the max view range for tanks seem a bit daft - can't see it - oh can see it. How come I can see the roman statue at 501m and can't see the enemy tank at 501m ?

Still looks very pretty - if I think back to the game when I first played it the graphics have come on amazingly.
 
Very easy to get into. Lots of beginner guides on YouTube of you want to understand certain game mechanics.

Give it a go, feel free to ask questions....
 
Right then.

Got up to T8 on Swedish TDs and Tanks. My conclusions.....

Emil 1 - Complete one trick pony. Nice turret IF AND ONLY IF you can get it hull down AND you don't get T9/10 matches where they will just go through the turret anyway. DPM is frustratingly low as there are surprisingly few tanks you can clip. Like all autoloaders your clip reload makes holding a position all alone impossible. I feel like saying the at my skill level autoloaders have to have mobility - go in, unload a clip, get out - this is not the Emil 1. Conclusion - nice tank in the right game, VERY frustrating in all other games. I think I'd rather play a T32.

UDES-03 - similar - it's like a T8 ELC-AMX - stealthy, fast (traverse is poor), on open maps it can totally rock both as a spotter and as a overwatch dpm monster. Problem is that once spotted it dies VERY FAST as it just cannot bounce anything and suffers module damage badly (an element it shares with the Emil 1). WG have made more and more maps corridor fighters so the maps this TD can function on in its element are fewer than I would like. Siege mode is a fun mechanic but makes the tank feel like playing arty in TD mode unless you can engage siege. The STRV-103 is a very different proposition as it has armour that will work well unless over matched.

Conclusions - Not sure I'm going to push through the Emil 1, just getting too frustrated with it. I want to play the STRV-103 before making my mind up as that is what the Swedish TD line is all about.

Any tips on getting more out the Emil 1 or the UDES 03 and I'm all ears....
 
I really need to pick up my game in the Bromwell, play it like a complete donkey. Just waiting for a discount on T8 premiums so can pick one up with the gold, little disappointed Type 64 doesn't get a discount with the Chinese special.
