T26E5 is just flat out better than T32 or Pershing line. Defender is basically the new Type 59, probably see that in a lootbox next Christmas, now that everyone and their dog got the Type.

Sargatanas2511 · 24 Jan 2018 at 13:56

I prefer the T32 in a hull down situation but I do agree overall that the T26E5 is better. Most importantly I find it more fun to play too.

neoboy · 24 Jan 2018 at 14:30

Yeah hull down it has advantage in turret armour but then loses in just about every other area. Patriot is really a pseudo medium, it's not even a competition if it comes against Pershing.

I do still love Skorpion, not one I wanted out the lootbox but it's hard to do bad in it. Money wise it's brilliant, with the pen I don't think I've fired a premium round yet. If anything I prefer to be bottom in it, more XP and credits for firing on tanks tiers above and anything can hurt you anyway.

Sargatanas2511 · 24 Jan 2018 at 14:38

I find the Skorpion unreliable. I know how to play it and I try to play it right but sometimes it just goes horribly wrong and I end up doing little to nothing and dying. Other times it's an absolute monster and I can crush an entire flank with it.

I have the same issues with it, can be fully aimed 200m away and nothing in the way, fire and it completely misses. next game and i cant miss including snap shots. next game the gun is all over the place again.

Always make money with it though.

Yeah it 100% makes money but I feel the T26E5 more reliable to make money. Just more my play style I guess.

I ******* hate Pershing so much but looking at it, I don't have much to complain. Just look at the utterly disgraceful state the MM and new premiums have left the T8 non premiums at.

I've bounced off light tanks with no Armour in the skorp. Gets spotted very easily.

neoboy · 25 Jan 2018 at 01:25

I must just be a sneaky bugger because I do well in it.

OspreyO · 25 Jan 2018 at 08:01

Makes lots of credits but I struggle to win consistently in it. In a camping game it gets out spotted. I kinda do better in games where the team is aggressive and I can get in close with sucker punches. Close on fire support.

Against a good tier 9 or 10 medium I'm hopeless in it. I do better in the E25 at all tiers.

neoboy · 26 Jan 2018 at 01:13

Smaller news but looks like FCM 50 t is being removed from the store with the 9.22 patch if anyone had any plans to buy it in the future.

Sargatanas2511 · 26 Jan 2018 at 09:13

I still like the FCM. It's very dependable and never see's T10 so I still use it to make money sometimes.

eekfek · 26 Jan 2018 at 11:17

If the patch 9.22 stays the same as the test server the T-44-100 ( and t-54 mod 1)buffs are going to make it(them) stupidly powerful. The Ruski medium line in general is getting stronger with every patch whilst other lines are becoming obsolete.

neoboy · 26 Jan 2018 at 11:31

Didn't know they were even buffing those premiums to begin with (again), I'll have to look for patch notes.

Any info on the changes?

Getting a better engine, the T-44 is also getting the same treatment.

I wouldn't say stupidly powerful then. The guns will still be mediocre.

neoboy · 26 Jan 2018 at 13:06

Except both have pretty solid armour profile and mobility to be true flanking brawlers, how good is the new engine?

Yes I think they would be good but I still think they would be worse overall than some existing premiums.
