Although some times, I feel like this is the case.  Look at all the "Fails at point blank". And the M4A1 Sherman is nothing more than a 35 ton target that throws spitballs.

Now if i remember to use AP on Mediums like i should be maybe it would hit the 750 Damage i like. |

The assist and 4 kills really helped you out on that one. That's pretty low damage for a tank like that. Not knocking your mastery, just sayin. Congrats on it. Glad you like it so much. Just wait till the ish and the BL10. You'll have to play with relaxed fit pants on because I know it would be uncomfortable for you otherwise. Lol Oh, and no matter how awesome the BL10 is, it's not going through a Pershing mantlet. Just an FYI. Have fun out there. I got lucky i know it was a low Damage game for the Su-152 hell to be honest i thought it was another Mastery 1 game not the ACE. My Best Moment in that Game was when a Enemy Su-152 Crested the Hill Showing me the belly you guessed it 1 Shot kill for Full damage of the Tank.
I knew it was a team of Reds and a tier 7 game so i pushed out to the Front and just Went Wrecking shit. I did take a hit in that game though When i Smacked the AT7 i Splash Damaged a friendly.
Yeah Found out About that Pershings Mantlet already from the Su-152's gun lol. i aim just Above the Lower Plate on Pershings Seems to work for Tracking and or Smacking them a decent amount. Tier 9 / 8's i aim lower plate i am way more Comfortable now with that gun than i should be smacking those tiers. |

I shot a M-103 that was about at 95% health. I hit him with a gold round in the engine. It knocked him to around 30% health, but he was on fire. He burned down to zero and died. I bet he was cussing. 
I love that tank and the 152 gun. |

I love that tank and the 152 gun. Nice OP i am Really taking my time with the SU-152 and learning everything i can with it now Before i Eventually get to the ISU-152 the Good thing with the Next tank the ISU i only have to Research The BL-10 and tracks..
I am learning what rounds work for what tanks and what rounds don't HE will Cause Damage to all tanks the HEAT round is Best for the Tier 8's and 9's though due to the 250 Pen Minimum. The crew Hopefully is half way thru 3rd skills Before i move on to the ISU-152 |

OK Is anyone Playing the T49 and CONSISTENTLY doing well in it?
If so I would LOVE some pointers and in game help if possible. This tank is right up there with the freakin M5 for being fun to play BOOM 900 damage the next 15 will be 265 123 45 76 267 12 452 78 53 367 298 512 10 45 and thats the ones where you actually HIT Sniping is totally useless most of the time Snapshoting is like arty (frankly I think my M12 is better at it) Mobility is good but not good enough Leisure driving an E100 couldnt track me circling him and kill me hopping in behind the heavies is a good Idea but if you miss a tank thats there ..... DONE So what is it you do with this POS to do consistently more than server average damage of 900 and .66 kills |

Otherwise, I try to hang back, let the match develop, and then get behind something and hit it when they are looking at someone else. It is not a light--many expect you to play it that way. It is not a medium either, it reloads too slow. I just try to pick and choose carefully where I engage with it. It does kill a lot of modules for sure though on heavies. |

I am so glad I didn't bother spending free xp or gold on the wtf E100 line. I enjoyed the nashorn and the toaster wasn't all that bad. The stuer Emil was terrible and honestly the borsig is shit. I thought it would get better but I cannot make this tank work. After all the nerfs to TD's I just can't use it effectively.

Late game it starts to shine but I've literally missed point blank shots with that stupid derp gun. It's a really fun tank and hilarious when you can one shot a bat chat but it's really just a novelty. |

Given that it has a turret helps tremendously. 12.8 gun is much less of a troll gun in terms of accuracy, but does like to blow tracKS off IS3s instead of penning. Also good at shooting under tanks when aiming at the lower glacis. |

After all the nerfs to TD's I just can't use it effectively. youll get varying opinions on this coastie but they killed that line and all TDs that cant brawl they now have: No view range No mobility No armor No Camo they are basically Arty as in they are dependent on teams and maps and IDIOTS on the other team the ONLY TD that I am still enjoying to any extent The SU 122/44 I still havent bought the 704 because I cant stand to play TDs anymore I am very close to hanging this game in the trash bin of history frankly they keep trying to FIX stuff that THEY BROKE to begin with and every time they do they break 5 other things I missed a ST1 TWICE sitting broadside last night with a Type 61 fully aimed and sitting still at under 300 meters NEXT GAME I threaded a shot on a AMX 1390 through a slot that was literally as big as the width of my reticle line at 400+ meters in the E50 They arent making the game better with this stupid shit they are just making it more random Edited to say: that tank used to be FANTASTIC man SERIOUSLY now its OK with a GOOD player and Good with a GREAT player...... 6mths ago it was EPIC with a SCRUB in it |

Given that it has a turret helps tremendously. 12.8 gun is much less of a troll gun in terms of accuracy, but does like to blow tracKS off IS3s instead of penning. Also good at shooting under tanks when aiming at the lower glacis. The Roomba with the big gun is my favorite TD right now, love that thing. Sure you get trolled every know and again with a bounce but when you pen..... I was in a game where he shot UNDER the tank, you should have heard the WTF!? in teamspeak That's a nearly everyday occurrence for me. I can't even count the number of times I drop a round between the enemy tanks lower glacis and the dirt. |

On track to the T57 heavy?
Looks in garage. Chaffee, M7, T37, Bulldog, T21, T49. This shouldn't be too bad for me. My stats may very well go up for a change. |

I was in a game where he shot UNDER the tank, you should have heard the WTF!? in teamspeak That's a nearly everyday occurrence for me. I can't even count the number of times I drop a round between the enemy tanks lower glacis and the dirt. Yeah, I was baffled...shot was PERFECT in how it went under the tank. Couldn't do it again if I tried. Its like shooting through the window at Campinovka. Nearly impossible to do when you want to do it, but once in about 100 shots is works. Liesure hit it on the head...WG is not necessarily trying to "improve" the game play as much as they are trying to make it dynamic. That keeps players grinding different lines to find the latest "OP" tank, buying gold to convert free XP and train crews, and so on. They also have to cater to the general pubbie crowd that doesn't understand game physics. Getting shot by some unseen arty was something that everyone cried about, so arty got nerfed. Then people complained about TD's being OP, so those got nerfed. The nerf bat keeps working its way around on all lines and tank types to where the net affect is a general power creep up. The more this happens, the less the game rewards good sound game play and tactics, and the more it rewards players that figure out the system so to speak. Right now CHAII sniping isn't as good as it used to be, and the game rewards aggressive knife fighting in mediums. Once the pubbie tears start to pool on the OP medium tanks, get ready for nerf bats to hit those hard, in mobility, turret travers, ROF, etc. |

Yup, the nerf bat works in a circle. Soon it'll be light or med tanks, then back to heavy tanks. I must say I do like the accuracy nerf, it has helped the survivability of my heavy tanks, and I really haven't felt too much pain from it on my arty or meds.

OK Is anyone Playing the T49 and CONSISTENTLY doing well in it? If so I would LOVE some pointers and in game help if possible. This tank is right up there with the freakin M5 for being fun to play BOOM 900 damage the next 15 will be 265 123 45 76 267 12 452 78 53 367 298 512 10 45 and thats the ones where you actually HIT Sniping is totally useless most of the time Snapshoting is like arty (frankly I think my M12 is better at it) Mobility is good but not good enough Leisure driving an E100 couldnt track me circling him and kill me hopping in behind the heavies is a good Idea but if you miss a tank thats there ..... DONE So what is it you do with this POS to do consistently more than server average damage of 900 and .66 kills I can't help but wonder if WOT made a change in how derp type guns perform in all the tanks. I used to play the Pz. IV H with the derp a lot. And running HE I could consistently do damage in the 200's and 300's with just about every shot. And when I was playing high tier I had my share of one-shot kills. Whatever patch it was that severely nerfed the Hellcat was a game changer. After that, accuracy went to shit, one-shots were rare, and damage dealt went to shit. When I look at the damage indicator, I never saw so many hits in the double digits and 100's. Maybe every 5th shot would be in the high 200's or 300's. It was common to see the indicator panel filled with shots that did 76 to 138. For some reason that range sticks in my head. A few posts above, Leisure_Shoot said: "You are totally missing the forest for the trees, here. They aren't "fixing" anything. They are making you grind a different line of tanks. They may even think that they are doing you a favor, by keeping game play dynamic and ever-changing." That sure seems to be an accurate statement. For me it was the patch that had the big Hellcat nerf, (was that 9.5?). All my go-to vehicles went to shit and I did start to grind more vehicles although they didn't seem to preform that much better. I'm playing lights a lot more now. At least when I miss, I can blame it on firing while moving at full speed while using auto aim, and not be frustrated at fully aimed shots from a TD hitting anywhere but on the target. |

True, although I think that what people didn't like about the laser beam accuracy was less about aim shots finding their marks, and more about guys taking random snap shots from across the map and penning for full damage, especially with "derp" guns that were supposed to less accurate then the high velocity cannon counter parts. The frustration about this most recent nerf is that good players can take carefully aimed shots, and now not only do we have a high probability of getting some troll RNG, like a crit for 0 damage or "mercy bounce," but now you have a very real chance of not hitting the tank at all. It is even harder to kill low health tanks now. |

Accuracy nerf working FOR ME?!? Bullshit I say....I have missed fully aimed shots with multi- skilled crews with some of the most laser-like cannons in the game; and been hit on the run in Bulldogs, ELC's, etc. by a KV-2's, T-150's, etc......My 3 skill Panther crew missed a full aim shot at 82 meters on a stopped Chaffee--which then proceeded to pound me as we both got up to speed...

The problem is that everything else takes a major step back in effectiveness. With mediums, lights and tds you now have to pray for good luck in trying to hit a heavy's weak spots even fully aimed. Ir really sucks the skill out of shooting. If they tweaked accuracy about half as much it might not be so bad, but what problem are they fixing, that needed fixing anyway? Even looking at it from the perspective that they want to maximize cash flow, it's not clear how this benefits them. |

Started out 8-2 tonight and was SHIT hot. Finished the TD mission finally with this gem in the Borsig (team melted down and lost it). We had a 5-2 advantage at the end. Tiger P, myself, our arty, Tortoise, and 1390 vs. 54E1 and enemy arty. Rather than all push together like we should have, our Tiger P and 1390 yolo'd individual before the tortois and I could support. I got there in time to op the 54E1 1x before he clipped me out to kill me. Tortoise was still watching. Down 2 vs. 2. Tortoise continues to watch a particular corner of the map instead of pushing in, then decides to make a run for cap. He passes up the 3 line as the 54E1 and their arty go down the 8 line towards our cap. In no uncertain terms ask him to go back to our base, where I'm 100% certain the arty will go to be bait. What's he do...keeps going to their cap, thinking some how he's going to win that race. Gets to the C line and they are both on our cap. He then does an 87 point turn around to go back and they finish the cap before he's 1/2 way back. Oh well, I finished the mission.
That was the first of 6 consecutive losses before I quit. Should have stopped at 3 by my self imposed rule. I'm not kidding...completing that one mission complete flip flopped RNG for me. Curiously in ever game after that I got sudden lag spikes... Anyway, enough whining. This was my best borsig game. Only thing better would have been the win.
