When you get to the ARL and understand it's shortcomings....they are magnified in the M4 45. Drink now.

It's a bigger 50t with no speed. At least you can be mobile in the 50t

I'm not sure about what the other guys wanted, but I got through it in 83 games (not sure if, or how much, I free XP'd, but probably free-XP'd to get the biggest gun on it at some point), and came out of it with a 53% win ratio having played very few, if any, platooned games with it.

At the (much earlier) time that I played the Tiger tank I thought it was a turd, too.  They may have improved it since I played it, but even after selling it, re-buying it back to give it another chance based off of a friend's reviews (Accidental_God - who is normally a stellar player, but who I also just only now see has a horrific win ratio in the Tiger I - the fucking tank he convinced me was good enough to buy back and give a second chance to, lol   ) , and then re-selling it again ... I never thought much of the Tiger.  (The Tiger P, on the other hand, was good)

On VBAddict the T25 AT and the JagdPanther TD's are rated below the M4 45 for overall player win rates, and I don't think I ever thought the T25 AT was a comparatively bad tank/TD at the time, so the M4 45 hate may be unwarranted.  Use premium ammo, pen, and do your job with it.  Keep in mind that the current average WoT player (which probably isn't represented as much in the thread or the AR clans here) is a really bad player who overly and/or accidentally relies far too much on all-around armor to stay alive for any length of time.  

... even the T25/2 is rated below the M4 45 for overall game win rates.  I'm not about to ever claim the T25/2 was stellar, but it held its own, and the M4 45 is still statistically better than it.

The middle gun on the 50 100, which I don't recall as being bad, is the top gun on the M4 45.  If a player can't be effective with that, this game - and the French line - may not be the best choice for them.  The 50 100 has a comparatively tiny amount of armor vs. other tier 8's heavies.

I enjoyed the Tiger so much that I bought it...twice. The M4 45 seems like a weak medium in comparison, without the acceleration. At least the Tiger has HP. The Tiger has 1500, the M4 45 has 1200. The Tiger does more damage, more often, than the M4 45, and can bounce a round too.

I find it exactly like the Lorraine, except that the initial speed the Lorraine can attain is better than the 50 100.  The 50 100 can respond across the map fast, but it doesn't seem to accelerate as well.  The reload is longer, so you have to find a safe and warm place for longer.

One other thing ... my bet is that the 50 100 has a better camo value than the Lorraine.  So if you're good with it, you'll be fine with the 50 100.

Well, if my team mates are any indication of normal, your team will expect you to scout in impossible circumstances.

Again, I contend that the current crop of players is so bad - the T37 is best held back to use as a damage dealer.  In the games I've run it in I've seen my scouting abilities ignored by too many, and can usually out-damage tier 7 heavy tanks with it.  If the players are that bad, then save it for the damage aspect.  Screw the scouting aspect - your teams aren't bright enough to use the information you've given them.

Exactly the same tank, one tier lower.

If you're tenderly loving all the mouth breathers in the Lorraine, the 50-100 and further the 50-120 and 50b are going to be easy peasy transitions and you're going to be some kind of steroid fueled monster in them, as they are played nearly identically. Interestingly enough, the gun you're using at tier 9 on the Lorraine is the same gun as on the 50-100, and the lesser gun on the 50-120, so when you get that tank, you're already a master with it, and the upgrade to the bigger one really changes things quite a lot as far as damage output is concerned. Also the 50-120 can occasionally bounce something, where anything that hits the 50-100 is going through.

Is there a AR15 clan one could join or is it full?



I am grinding through the M3 Lee right now, I want to get to the M4 Sherman. I have 5,000 for XP to go.



I have learned to use the M3 as a TD, stay back and support the bigger tanks as they move forward. This made the tank a little more tolerable to play.

There are a few AR15 clans. There is AR-15, AR15 and AR_15. The first two are more casual, shits and giggles type clans. AR_15 is more competitive, doing Strongholds and the like.

Correct. AR_15 does Stongholds and Tournaments and seems to be in general a bit more active.

  The more I play the 40t, the more I rape. If the 50 100 is nearly as good as the 40t...pepper your angus!



The 50 100 is very good... lots of mobility and manueverability.  

If you play it like a Lorraine (i.e. BE A SNEAKY BASTARD), you can do pretty well with it.

Exactly the same tank, one tier lower.



If you're tenderly loving all the mouth breathers in the Lorraine, the 50-100 and further the 50-120 and 50b are going to be easy peasy transitions and you're going to be some kind of steroid fueled monster in them, as they are played nearly identically. Interestingly enough, the gun you're using at tier 9 on the Lorraine is the same gun as on the 50-100, and the lesser gun on the 50-120, so when you get that tank, you're already a master with it, and the upgrade to the bigger one really changes things quite a lot as far as damage output is concerned. Also the 50-120 can occasionally bounce something, where anything that hits the 50-100 is going through.

Spoke too soon last night. Typed that reply about the 40t and promptly got my ass handed to me three times in a row. That'll teach me.

LMAO

I remember Coastie being mad at me cause I wouldnt brawl in mine.

Best advice I can give you is something I read on the forums somewhere

its a SNIPING HEAVY

If you get into a brawl against a same or lesser tier "true" heavy and he has a clue, you are DEAD

Don't I know it. Fucker tried to tell me how to play my tank while he can barely figure out the concept of breathe in, breathe out. I sent him a PM after the battle with "Did your parents have any children that lived?"

I'm not sure about what the other guys wanted, but I got through it in 83 games (not sure if, or how much, I free XP'd, but probably free-XP'd to get the biggest gun on it at some point), and came out of it with a 53% win ratio having played very few, if any, platooned games with it.

At the (much earlier) time that I played the Tiger tank I thought it was a turd, too.  They may have improved it since I played it, but even after selling it, re-buying it back to give it another chance based off of a friend's reviews (Accidental_God - who is normally a stellar player, but who I also just only now see has a horrific win ratio in the Tiger I - the fucking tank he convinced me was good enough to buy back and give a second chance to, lol   ) , and then re-selling it again ... I never thought much of the Tiger.  (The Tiger P, on the other hand, was good)

On VBAddict the T25 AT and the JagdPanther TD's are rated below the M4 45 for overall player win rates, and I don't think I ever thought the T25 AT was a comparatively bad tank/TD at the time, so the M4 45 hate may be unwarranted.  Use premium ammo, pen, and do your job with it.  Keep in mind that the current average WoT player (which probably isn't represented as much in the thread or the AR clans here) is a really bad player who overly and/or accidentally relies far too much on all-around armor to stay alive for any length of time.  

... even the T25/2 is rated below the M4 45 for overall game win rates.  I'm not about to ever claim the T25/2 was stellar, but it held its own, and the M4 45 is still statistically better than it.

The middle gun on the 50 100, which I don't recall as being bad, is the top gun on the M4 45.  If a player can't be effective with that, this game - and the French line - may not be the best choice for them.  The 50 100 has a comparatively tiny amount of armor vs. other tier 8's heavies.

I never thought the french tanks were that horrible but I researched them online and found out brawling isnt their thing.  ARL I have a 57% win rate. M4 45 I have a 53% in, they are normal french tanks that you have to play to their strengths and not be of the mindset "Im Top Teir heavy I must BRAWL"  if you play it that way you will HATE LIFE.

As far as the American TD lines well IMO the T25AT is the FREAKIN BOMB, 401 games and a 60% win rate with 7 to 61%
the T25/2 everyone hates because they play it like a Hellcat. ITS NOT  265 games and a 54%  6 games to a 55%  Stellar ? NO Good TD, absolutely

maybe there is a corrilation to my playstyle and the win rates on those tanks since apparently most dont like any of them..
I think the HATE on the french heavies is because when people see Heavy they think "brawler" and play as such... french tanks are NOT play them second line support (let them shoot others and pop out to bang them ) or use them as 2-3 line snipers, yea youll get bitched at but youll help more and win more and do better in the tank.

Thanks, I guess I'm doing ok with it.  I have it set up with optics, camo net and vert stab so I can passive/active scout.  Seems to be working ok so far.  

I have vents, v-stab and coated optics on mine.

That would be a better bet/usage.  Vstab, vents, binocs on mine as I tend to spot early and flank/kill mid and late game.

I play depending on the other team and the map

and conserve HP, I wont suiscout in it, people bitch at how I play it all the time .... I DONT CARE and every time I try to do something I know I shouldnt..... yea I get nailed

By the numbers I am 98 games in
1 win to 63%
Avg spotting 1.4
avg Assist 375
avg damage 903
AVG XP 822

I had a 1800 WN8 player in arty last night chewing nails he was so pissed at me.... we had a 38% chance to win and he and I were the ONLY hope for the team, I took off and went to a bush and realized, NO one is moving from base
our two TT heavies are camping base.... I went to an old TD sniper spot  SCREW EM
killed 4 and did 2k before I died

IM DONE doing what I am supposed to for potato teams that let me die

DONE

M41 is the problem child though
I like it WAY more but not nearly as good in it... at T10 you just are way past outgunned MOST of the time.
101 games, 50%
