World of Tanks is a Tank MMO in Closed Beta, Battles are 15 vs 15.

The /jp/ channel is called "/jp/ (Mew)"

PanzerMoe is all about tanking it easy, enjoying your tanks and having fun with other /jp/ers.

If you're impatient about Beta codes, check with Mmohut or ShatteredCrystal or Alienware for keys, they give them out.

Recipe for instant fun:
Get into platoon of all Stugs. Get into battle with tier 5 and lower tanks. Hold line abreast formation. Proceed to hand out new assholes to all you meet.

[Anonymous of Croatia !na1byG1GU. No.]

>>6539863
I can generally tell you at least for me, the game got a lot more fun when I got to Tier 5 tanks.

Tanks like the Stug III, Panzer III/IV, Panzer IV, T34, SU-85, KV, M4 Sherman.

Well I imagine T1 Heavy and M7 are shit... but hey they're American tanks.

Next in the line are French tanks and I imagine they'll be as shit as the American ones.

Some things to know about the King Tiger..

1.The turret armor is horrible. First turret? I wouldn't put it past a loltraktor to penetrate your turret if he could join your battles. Second turret? Despite the 180mm armor your gun manlet has 60mm, expect to be penetrated by everything that knows how to aim.
2. The lower part of your frontal armor is only 100mm, you don't want to get shot there going up a hill.
3. You will lose your gun seven times out of ten with the first turret
4. The 10,5 short and long both cost 1,030 credits per shell. Never use the short 10,5.

Good things time
1. You have 150mm sloped frontal armor! This is a dream come true after driving a Tiger. With this you can actually play on the front lines effectively, I've earned up to 55k credits by doing so.
2. The King Tiger is often considered the peak of the German heavy line.
3. The long 8,8 is a very, very amazing gun and that's what you get as your stock gun. It will still earn you a lot more credits than the long 10,5 so you don't need to even touch the 10,5cm guns.
4. If you decide to use the long 10,5 you have a good chance to actually penetrate an IS-4's frontal armor! You will also have that much needed damage the long 8,8 felt like it was missing. It has a much better feel to it than the long 8,8 and often you will survive longer because of that extra damage. It's your choice on which gun to use.

[Nanaya !yrBrqfF1Ew No.]

>>6539991
To clear up something between both number ones.. I said expect to be penetrated by everything that knows how to aim as well as you can be on the front lines effectively..

The thing about it is, not everyone knows how to aim, and very often will they panic when they see a King Tiger right infront of them and don't have time to think to shoot the gun manlet. I've had IS-3 drivers panic and start shooting my frontal armor before because I was right infront of them and with my long 10,5 penetrating every shot dealing a lot of damage. Fear factor plays a huge role in the King Tiger.

[LilyWhite !DWdJUrHcKI No.]

Let me practice shooting at the different spots on your KT,

[Anonymous No.]

>>6540101
Yeah KT's mantlet is a joke, I was in a slugging match with a KT with henschel turret in my KV3, I bounced 3 shots with my glacis while I put three rounds straight through his mantlet and killed him.

He raged.

[Anonymous of Croatia !na1byG1GU. No.]

Speaking of heavies.

I know the German ones weak points in and but I have no idea where to shoot the IS IS-3 IS-4 IS-7 also no idea where to shoot the Proto Maus thing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6540353
IS - everywhere, it's got poor armour for tier 7 heavy, even KV3 have more armour. If you are medium aim for side or driver hatch.

IS-3 - lower glacis

IS-4 - rear or driver hatch, it's got epic armour everywhere else.

IS-7 - see IS-4

Mini-maus - anywhere except front, it has very poor armour for tier 9. Shoot at the back of the turret for ammo-racking.

[Nanaya !yrBrqfF1Ew No.]

>>6540353
You probably won't like this... but the driver's lug on the IS-4 is getting buffed from 120mm to 160mm.

right now I have a t-34 a leopard and a sherman. should I try putting all my exp into one tree for a tier 6 or just buy back everything?

does aiming at the tracks do reduced damage or something? sometimes the indicator thing will turn green over them and when it hits the guy will say "it went right through" and it does no damage.

[Anonymous of Croatia !na1byG1GU. No.]

>>6540527
Tracks have HP, when you kill it you track them so they can't move. All the instruments on a tank have HP.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6540537
but shooting the tracks from any angle won't actually damage the tank?

[Anonymous of Croatia !na1byG1GU. No.]

It will but sometimes they take all the damage.

For example I shot a Leopard right in the middle of the track with my long 88mm. It tracked him but I didn't do damage. Sometimes I hit it right there but it does 50% damage.

It's random really.

The higher tier tank, the more credit multiplier things.

That tunnel at the northern base on Himmelsdorf is hilarious. Hid my StuG there when we were losing the round. WHat happens? An ISU-152 from the other team doesn't see me and tries to park in there, too. First 10.5cm HE shell tracked him upon entering, then I repeatedly shot his rear armor until he was dead.

Everyone on the chat laughed, especially when the two survivors from the enemy team entered our base and I began demanding they move that shitty wreck outta the way so I could kick their asses. (The two survivors were a KT and a IS-4.)

This is so unimaginably frustrating to me too. I tell people "hey, our flanks are totally open" and get jack shit of a response. Suddenly, I'm facing down the barrel of 3 Heavy Tanks in my TD, and all I can do is plink one, frantically ping the map, and watch as our base falls because of team idiocy.

Base camping is an equally bad strategy, though, as it allows your enemies free range to cut off all escape routes, move their arty up, form a perimeter and then crush you like bugs.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6543342
I know that feeling all too well.
It's even worse when everyone goes one way and just camps.
I tell them to start moving forward or go help the two other tanks the other way, or I'll start shooting them myself.
If they still don't listen, I shoot off their guns and just leave.

Well Russians have the best Medium Tanks, Germans have good heavies but get them late...

The first like Tier 1~4 tanks are equally bad on all side TBH...

Russian get their first heavy the KV at tier 5 and so do the americans but the T1 is crap compared to the KV.

>>6543548
Basically, go German or Russian... Americans are shit.

Americans are all about TURRET ARMOR.

[Anomynous No.]

>>6543611
It isn't so complicated.
Frontal Hull: 150/120mm at 50°
Frontal Turret: 180mm at low angle, 40mm at 80°
Front Gun Mantlet ~65-100mm at ~0°
Side Hull: 80mm at 0° behind treads, 80mm at 25° above
Side Turret: 80mm at 20°
Rear Hull: 80mm at 30°
Rear Turret: 80mm at 18°

So:
When hitting the front: aim low for their hull unless you're close and can reliably hit the gun mantlet
When hitting the side: Aim for the treads/through them for that low deflection armor
Interestingly enough it's better to hit it from the side than the rear unless you can hit the rear of the turret (best place because you have a good chance of damaging the ammo rack)

Our scouts actually won us the game here, despite us having no TD's. It was quite amusing. They gave us constant sight of their TD's and we pretty much rolled into their base in no time after we had taken them down.

Good scouts are rare, but they can be very effective. I do think they should give scouts some resistance to getting their tracks shot down, though. Whenever I see a Leo, PzIII or A-20 he's always stuck in place the moment he shows his face.

I see the Panther perform well in most of the games I play. It's up to you to see whether you would enjoy it. Personally, I would prefer the T44 because of its hard hitting cannon and speed. The Panther excels in other areas, like health, view range, rate of fire, etc.

>Implying that the real life American 75mm and 76mm guns were just as accurate as the German L48, which was like a tank borne sniper rifle of a gun.


Caliber means nothing when it comes to effectiveness of a tank gun. Muzzle velocity, accuracy, and effective engineering of the AP shell fired matter more than caliber. Two guns of the same caliber can be nothing alike in effectiveness. A perfect example is comparing the American 75mm L40 gun on the M4 Sherman and the Russian 76mm gun on the T-34 to the German 75mm L48 gun mounted on the Panzer IV, Stug III and Hetzer. Both of the allied guns were about equally ineffective. These Russian and American guns could not penetrate the front armor on the Hetzer light tank destroyer at ANY DISTANCE, even point blank range, because of sloping. But what about the German 75mm L48? The L48, on the other hand, could penetrate the armor of the Sherman and T-34 tanks from ANY ANGLE, ANY SIDE, up to 1,500+ meters away with a single hit. That's real life. You're lucky that the game isn't historically accurate, or the German tanks would be the end all, be all of tanks in the game, and nobody would want to drive the allied tanks.

The Maus is overrated. Every game I've seen them had them being the first to die, without doing anything of value. Unless you count 'having all of the team follow it, getting killed with it' as something of value.
Fucking teammates. They are the most frustrating part of the game for me.

Not bouncing shots like an idiot, no matter where I hit and with what.
Not ghost tanks oneshotting me to kingdom come.
Not the SPGs firing TOW missiles, which combines with the above.

The M7, stock it's complete shit, literally no point in using it, once it's upgraded with suspension and engines and one of the 75mm's it's actually pretty good, it's armor is non existent but it's turret is durable and you'll be fairly fast and maneuverable. The normal sherman is decent for it's tier, other than being a tall tank it's 76mm is good, and can mount a fuckhuge howitzer, stronger than what the PZIV can mount. The 'ez-8' sherman however is T6, unable to mount the howitzer, and generally complete shit compared to all the other tanks at it's tier level.

[Magni No.]

>>6545393
Takes place in about two weeks. You lose your research, tanks, gear and crews. All your tanks and gear get their credit value refunded at buying price and all the xp you made until now, be it invested into research or not, gets turned into free xp (the ones you can invest into any research, not only the one on the tank you earned it with).

Practically, only your crews are gonna be gone. No idea if they'll do it this time, but last time the devs compensated for that by giving everyone ~2000 gold extra, enough to train 2-3 crews up to 100%.

But the grind takes ages. My average experience earned is between 150 and 200, sometimes as low at 50.
Rarely I will get lucky and earn 500-850.
Just sucks when you fire a shot dead on a target, it does 15% damage, then they hit you twice and you blow up while waiting on the 27 second reload time. Oh, and you can't run cause your tank only backs up at 3KM/H. Oh, and you can't take the shots cause you only have 70mm front armor.

They said eventually they will make all tanks with multiple guns work, but I think Lee's turret will probably not come in the foreseeable future. Coaxial guns are a lot easier to implement, all you need is another "fire secondary gun" button and use 789 for ammo switching and you're done.

I expect Maus to get it's coaxial 75mm when the T1 Heavy and M6 patch comes out.

>>6546912
Stay out of the main battles, let others scout for you and you just take shots at things at maximum range since 152 can hit about 420. Mount the two scopes and camo if you plan on going S-51, since it's going to be a long grind and you just can't play with horribly short turret sight. Just remember, the 152 makes you a mini-arty; don't play like a tank.

I know that feel (50/127k exp). Honestly? Maxing the KV's equipment out is less than 25k exp and makes it so much better. Between the upgrades and having started to learn to handle heavies I've been doing much better in battles. In bad matches I still get ~200, but in half the matches or so I clear 1k experience. The last 35k experience has gone almost as fast as the first 15k experience.

My crew has also gone from 75% to 100% and now has their skills over 50%. This has also helped, I imagine. I also suspect they will be close to maxing their first skill before I'm done with the research on the KV.

If FPS games were truly realistic, there'd be misfires and jams with frequencies depending on environment, ammo used, gun etc. Also, the act of using a sniper rifle should require you to calculate the adjustments you'll need to make to hope that the shot lands on account of gravity, wind, even rotation of the earth in a super-long shot. And if you make a long range shot the bullet actually travels at rifle projectile speed, often taking several seconds to actually reach the target (who damn well could have moved by then), instead of lol lightspeed instakill.

However, if even a few such (imo awesome) realism factors were put into a popular FPS, 12 year olds (physically or mentally) would shriek into their Xbox Live headsets "HOWCOME MY SNIPER DOESN'T WORK" every 2 seconds, and throw their controllers at the TV in rage when their gun jams during a firefight, or if they got stuck on the ground and bled to death after getting shot in the leg in-game.

God damn, that would be such a fucking awesome game, too bad all we're actually getting is reduced realism with pure hogshit like CoD Black Ops.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6549080

Oh yeah, I forgot, my main point with that whole FPS segue was that, too much realism to the point of making a game not as "fun", would turn off a lot of most playerbases.

So, even though WoT does a pretty damn good job at what it does, it can't be perfectly real, because only the most hardcore of the hardcore would want to play that... which for an MMO, might not be the best marketing strat.

Sounds like ArmA 2 with ACE mod.

[Anonymous of Croatia !na1byG1GU. No.]

>>6549135
There actually is some, but it's only for HE rounds because of the slow fire velocity it seems, well AP rounds travel so fast you don't notice the drop but there is some.

[Anomynous No.]

>>6549135
I wonder if it's just factored in (Like it is with artillery). Easy test would be in Ensk with that long lane down the middle.
Set up a tank with a long barrel and a watcher. Have the watcher park to the side and watch the angle of the gun. The tester parks so that they can aim at a wall to their right and just to the left is the long main road. The Tester then enters first person (to remove the odd angles of third person) and aims at the wall. Then moves the barrel right so that it's aiming down the corridor. If bullet drop is factored in, the gun angle should increase slightly to compensate and this should be noticeable by the watcher (Though, it could be that the difference is too small to notice).

I figure that since the shells take time to travel already, that the bullet drop is factored in as well for true ballistics. That's how it seems to me at least, especially given the penetration drop in AP shells at range due to drop in bullet velocity, the significant increase in travel time for artillery at the last 5% of their range as the shell path becomes significantly elongated by semi-parabolic trajectories...

It's amazing how wrong you are. Russian tanks by and large were awesome, the KV-1 was virtually indestructible at the start of the war, the T-34 was the best overall tank of the entire conflict, and their other stuff was varying degrees of good. For as much attention as Germany gets for its tanks, most of them were actually pretty bad. Especially early on.

>>6554981
On open maps, you're going to be more stationary. Stay back a bit, find good firing positions preferrably with cover/concealmeant and aim down the most likely route of advance for the enemy, waiting for them. Your lack of a turret makes good positioning critical, especially on the Marder, which is a glass cannon. After that comes the utter pain that is the Hetzer. And then the StuG, which becomes pretty awesome once you have the upgrades. You're decently fast and pack a punch while still having a vry low profile. Later german TDs than gradually trade in the speed for more armour, hp and bigger guns, with the Ferd and Jagdtiger giving up on the low profile for even more armour and even bigger guns.

Urban combat tends to be both a blessing and a curse for TDs. The streets create shot channels that negate your disadvantage of not having a turret, but it's also easier to get blindsided at corners.

>>6556432
It's mostly that they're Tier IV, but not a significant improvement over their Tier III counterparts. So they get into higher Tier matches, but don't have any significant advantages. Hell, I think the Hetzer was a downgrade from the Marder II, even after upgraded.

[Anomynous No.]

Case in point: The gun on the Marder II vs the Hetzer's guns. For the upgrade you get better armor and a few more HP, but lose maneuverability, speed, and penetration while being put up against tanks with more armor.

Just had a really good match. Was pretty tough. Did some spotting and sniping from a forward position, and killed some tank destroyers. 3 of them actually. Then, our right flank folded and I had to kill an IS capping our base. Then my whole team got killed except for a Stug. It was just me and him vs a bunch of enemies. It came down to the IS-3 defending their base and protecting their arty. The IS3 was spotting me before I could see him (don't know how, I have a much longer view range than him) and he hit me twice, bringing me down to just a little HP as I tried to move into a good position for the final push. The Stug heroically charged in, spotted both, and killed the Arty. While this was happening, I came out from behind my building and was putting my 10.5cm AP into the IS-3. He was too healthy, and the Stug died before I could finish him, but he bought my JUST enough time. I put the final round into him right as his turret turned to face me, knocking him from 19% to 0 with the last shot.

It literally came down to the wire.

It sucks until you get some basic upgrades done. Then, when you get the good guns (either the long 88 or the long 10.5) and the suspension... the jPanthah becomes a pure killing machine. Only the IS-7 and Maus give it trouble, and that's only from the front.

>>6561459 that's the kind of shit you can do quite often with a Jagdpanthah given a camo net and some camo skill for your crew. My crew's camo skill is at 72 percent right now. It's not foolproof, but I feel like a ninja sometimes.

In 1v1 a lot of the German tanks will more often than not beat their Russian counterparts, but the key to Russia's dominance in heavies is that only the top tier tanks can reliably penetrate them while German tanks can be penetrated by a whole lot of mid-low tier tanks.

Take the Ausf B for example.. 100mm side armor jeez, while the IS-4 has a massive 160mm 30 sloped armor.

..Also, the Maus has a major weakspot in the lower hull of the frontal armor. Since I don't have a Maus screenshot I'll borrow yours.

It's pretty silly really that the Maus's front armor can be penetrated so easily. I don't have an exact armor value for that spot

Is there any real use for Armor Piercing rounds? I pretty much only use HE because they usually do more damage, but I feel like I'm missing something because AP cost more.

[Anomynous No.]

>>6562586
The Loltraktor, though it's still technically balanced as their side has a glut of T6 tanks against your T5 tanks.

>>6563197
AP rounds will, in general, do more damage than HE rounds if you can penetrate their armor. This means that at short-medium range against tanks within a few tiers of you, the AP is preferable, otherwise use HE. (This is true for most situations, most guns, and most targets, but there are many exceptions that should be learned)

[Anonymous No.]

>>6562586
God damn, I wish they stopped inviting tier 1 tanks to games of heavies. They waste spots that could perfectly be used by something that will actually have an effect.
I got two of those two games in a row. We won, but they didn't survive.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6563197
HE has far less penetration and will do only a fraction of the damage displayed in the stats if it doesn't penetrate.

Basically:
If you can penetrat with HE, use HE. If you can'T penetrate with HE, use AP. If you can't penetrate with AP, use HE and hope to be a nuisance.

It also depends on the gun. Longer-barreled guns are way better with AP than short-barrel howitzers like the 7.5cm on the Panzer III, the 10.5cm on the Hetzer/StuG/jPanzer IV or the 152mm on the KV.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6563309
They're not wasted, so to say. Their small value is compensated for the team by giving slots to more powerful tanks. I once took my loltraktor for a spin with a /jp/ platoon for the kicks, and we got a Maus, while the enemy team only has the IS-4 for them.

But a KV-3 can beat a tiger 1vs1, only 3 shots to the tiger will kill it.

Here's an impregnable tank snake.

[Nanaya !yrBrqfF1Ew No.]

>>6564179
Really I'd say if the Tiger died 1v1 to anything below an IS-3 or King Tiger of the heavy line then he is a fool or didn't upgrade to the long 8,8. T29 is excusable since the armor is bugged and it's the strongest of its tier because of it.

The Tiger and King Tiger are the peak of the German heavy line and can easily take out their Russian counterparts 1v1 and sometimes even one tier higher. An example is I rate a KV higher on the threat list than a IS because of the KV's 152mm that more often than not takes out a lot of modules and crew. I can easily beat an IS-3 and I don't even consider an IS a heavy tank in my King Tiger.

You can do some serious damage to a Tiger, but in a pure one on one fight he will outlast you, so avoid that. Tigers aren't the real threat though, it's mainly the American high tiers you currently need to watch out for. They're indestructible.

Good luck finding one that won't immediately shout OH SHIT WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE YOU STUPID IDIOT when you roll up in a tank and try to fire off a 75mm projectile. Bricks will be shat because some backstops aren't even suited to stop a .50 BMG round, no less a fucking giant tank round.

I'm also pretty sure that the way US laws are written, each shell is considered its own "destructive device" for which you need a $200 tax stamp and government approval- that's a lot of IRL grinding for cash if you want to play with such things.

I played both, and both were sort of disappointing.
The Jagd lacks health, has a huge frontal weakpoint, and has it's gun fucked all day long by T4 tanks.
The Tiger II was expensive to play as with the last guns, and the weak-ass gun mantlet was it's doom.

I can tell you what I know about the Ferdi. They have very nice front armor, hard to penetrate with a King Tiger's long 10,5cm and hey have a very powerful gun, it's a better version of the top gun for the Ausf B(tier 9 heavy).

That's what happens when it puts one tier 8 on a team then it jumps to tier 6 after that. Once the enemy IS and Hummel were gone then there was little threat, Tiger is shit and not really any better than a 3601.

I've killed Ferdis in my StuG III, but they are tough cookies. I'm pretty sure that rear hatch is like a big bullseye, I think it has really weak armor in that particular spot but I'm not 100% sure. You really have to outfox them though- head on, a Ferdi will ruin pretty much anything it faces.

If you're good at playing TD you always keep your front facing the enemy anyways, Ferdi just has the advantage of being able to go apeshit mode and hulk smash through mediums... and that whole town in Sand River without slowing down.

It also has more splash damage if I can remember correctly.

the 152mm gun on the KV is pretty much the most bullshit thing ever. who thought giving a tier V tank a 900 damage gun was a good idea?

In Soviet Russia, KV shoot you!

It's still fairly balanced by the terrible accuracy and abominable reload time.

Less than two rounds a minute, bad accuracy and the fact that the KV isn't that awesome in the armor department make it not as much of a good idea.

it hardly matters how fast it shoots when it only takes one hit to kill me

And then they're overrun by your allies and die because that KV is now a slow, impotent heap of steel. No matter how conservatively I played with the 152 I never managed more than four kills. It's too inaccurate at range to hit reliably and in close you'll be taking too long between shots. Since you're in a heavy you don't really get to dictate engagement range against anything but other heavies, and the hard hitting mediums will happily close in to get a kill on the KV's rather flimsy armor.

I'm sure it's possible to do well with the 152, but I think the 107mm is a much better gun.

>I never managed more than four kills.
this is how I know you're full of shit. I consider it a good round if I can get ONE kill with my t-34.

Lucky rounds are a rare treat.

I'm going to bitch and moan about the JagdPanther until this fucking thing can pierce a fucking Panzer 4.

How does this make you feel /jp/?

I couldn't believe this one. They wiped the floor with us at the beginning. Our VK had only a single point before everyone else on our team was dead, then he went berserk and killed everything.

That Russian TD's might not be completely useless after this.

Enjoy getting killed by mediums with that tank.

120mm front, even at slope, isn't enough to stop most T8+ weaponry.

Also, I doubt that it will get a higher RoF by that much, given that reload times seem to majorly be set by ammunition size in-game and 152mm two-piece ammo just takes that long to load.
