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.

In LOLtraktor at Komarin
Most of team charges middle, a few TDs roll to defend, and I alone go for the enemy's flag. I sit at the back and wait. Later a Cunningham rolls up as well. I end up with 84% of the capture because the enemy couldn't see me and leave the battle with an invader award without firing a shot.

I got 7 kills in the T-34 last night. 6 kills the game before. The thing is a fucking MEAT GRINDER.

If you have building cover you can keep a tank of any size perma-tracked until you run out of ammunition. Upgraded KVs are doable. Other mediums and lights have become cannon fodder.

It isn't view cones, it's armor penetration.

Not a native German speaker, so my translation is going to be ass, but here:

green text = I will be shot
orange text = I can shoot you, but you cannot shoot me
bottom right = Letting the T34 in the cloverleaf is forbidden

Basically its showing how much further out the German tanks could penetrate Soviet armor.

Crew vision in the T-34, especially the earlier versions, was absolutely terrible. Hell, the early ones did not have a cupola for the commander, which means that everybody had to look out a few small viewing slits in the front of the hull and turret, with zero awareness to anything at the sides or rear of the tank the moment they buttoned up.

The pic there isn't about sight, though, it's about penetration ranges. Basically, if you're in a Tiger and up against a T-34 with 76mm cannon, don't let the T-34 into the green areas and it won't be able to kill you. If it's somewhere in the red area, you can kill it.

Anonymous Mon Dec 6 15:21:35 2010 No.6577032

He's just trolling you. When a softwipe happens, ALL of the exp you ever earned is refunded to you as free exp. Which means that you can use it on whatever you want, to research the tanks you want. Usually, this means that people can skip ahead and avoid wasting exp on tanks they don't intend to use, and the exp they save usually bumps them up a Tier. So if you are at Tier 7, expect to be able to get a Tier 8 tank after the softwipe. Also, any tanks in your garage are refunded to you at their full price. Any gold you have saved is also kept in your account, as well as any credits you have.

I'll probably go back to the M-41 after the soft-wipe. I am loving that vehicle. Besides I won't have enough XP to go too far with heavy tanks or TDs, so I may as well stick with what I know and hope they add more American stuff later.

Downside to the M41: It has no real flat surfaces to decorate with decals. There are some side panels that cover the engine at the back there, and that is all.

Tanks are increasingly worthless for asymmetric warfare, and in a World War III scenario the only things I see as being significant are long-range weapons and defense systems: by the time tanks would get on the ground, chances are the war will have been mostly decided and neither nation will have much will to fight.

tanking in hetz thread

Out of curiosity, can any history buffs tell me why the 8.8cm PaK 43 L/71 makes such a huge leap in penetration from the 8.8cm PaK 36 L/56? I'm looking at the German TD Tree, drooling over getting closer to a JagdPanther, and I noticed that you get almost double the penetration from the same caliber...

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 6 20:36:35 2010 No.6578513 >>6578438 The L/## specifies barrel length in calibers, so one is 56 calibers long, the other is 71 calibers long, resulting in increased velocity like the poster above said.

Anonymous Mon Dec 6 20:37:35 2010 No.6578526

>>6578438
The long 88 was a higher velocity gun. The higher the velocity, the better the round penetrates armor. The long 88 was an extremely effective anti tank gun, capable of penetrating the front armor of any allied tank in existence by the end of the war. Famous tanks it was mounted on were the King Tiger and the Jagdpanther. The long 75 mounted on the Panther also saw a great increase in muzzle velocity over the standard German 75mm guns. This again turned an already great anti-tank gun into one that could kill any allied tank with a single hit.

The longer barrel will help the shell build up more velocity from the pressure of the shell going off being trapped in the barrel. It also increases accuracy.

>>6578507
Caliber has very little to do with the armor penetrating performance of the gun. Velocity is EVERYTHING for an AP shell. The American 76mm gun was a much, much longer barreled gun than the short 75, and also had more gunpowder stored in the shell. All these things combined to make it much more effective at penetrating armor. The best 75mm tank gun of the war was undoubtedly the German long 75mm L/70 gun though. This is historical fact.

Though, remember, nobody claims this game is historically accurate. If it was historically accurate, tanks wouldn't be firing on the move, and you'd have to stop to shoot. Also, you wouldn't be in a third person view. If you want more realism play a game like Red Orchestra: Darkest Hour or T-34 vs Tiger. However, for an arcadish game, this one does seem to do a lot of things nicely.

Someone should get a Maus with me so we can be Maus Bros.

It's a great tank. For what it lacks in speed, it hits hard, has plenty of health and can hold a large amount of ammo. My ammo rack RARELY gets hurt, maybe once out of 30 games it gets damaged, and I don't even have the wet ammo rack upgrade.

The main thing to know is that it's a DEFENSIVE tank, not a medium tank. You park it where you want the enemy not to go; although sometimes I've gotten lucky and I've had some great Maus rushes against the enemy.

Just give it a try after the wipe if you are interested, don't let others deter you from giving it try.

You really love your Maus huh? Seeing your devotion and love of the Maus almost tempts me to get a Maus.... but I already know that I will regret it if I do.

I love seeing and fighting along side Maus's, they are really neat and they look better than the IS-7 with their silly machine gun sticking far up... but I'd never drive one myself. If I didn't have to go through the terrible Ausf B to get one I might have done so as really if I focused on the German heavy tree I'd only be 100k away from it, but getting it with the exp gotten from soft wipe just isn't worth it. So the result is either grind enough free exp to skip the Ausf B(Hahahaha) or grind through the terrible Ausf B.

The German heavy tree stops at the King Tiger for me. Which is one of the reasons I'm going to go through the Russian heavy line with my soft wipe exp.

You are wrong, my friend.

I've had my greatest game post patch with my Ausfb. Had no trouble standing up to IS4's with it, since it mounts the same 128mm as the Maus. The only problem I had with it was that the turret was in the back and it was a little hard peeking around corners. The armour is great, and will bounce most shells. Plus, the 1950 health you get is pretty good as well. Moving it wasn't that bad either, once you get the upgraded tracks. You see, once you get past what other people say about it, and play it from a neutral standpoint, it's pretty decent.

My major complaint about the Ausf B is the 100mm side armor where as IS-4 gets a massive 160mm 30 sloped side armor AND is faster.

Combined with the turret positioning and how the damage, rate of fire, and penetration of the top gun is worse than the IS-4's while still having equal accuracy and just .5 faster aiming time...

The Ausf B just doesn't match up.

The leopard is a designated scout tank. If you don't know much about the types I'll give you a general rundown.

Light tanks are basically only useful for scouting. Scouting is waiting about 25 seconds then running full speed towards the enemy base to spot enemies for your artillery and sometimes heavy tanks to shoot. You will be placed in high tier battles a lot, you will die a lot, your life expectancy is roughly one minute.

Medium tanks are the border between light and heavy. They are faster than heavy tanks but not as fast as light tanks, they are more armored and have more health than light tanks but not as much as heavy tanks. They have to use their speed to their advantage or they are dust infront of a heavy tank of equal or higher tier.

Heavy tanks are the ones who dominate the battlefield with high armor and powerful guns. There's not much else to say about them. They are slow and easy targets for artillery.

Tank destroyers are the best defense. They have massive frontal armor and very powerful guns, but they do not have a turret so they can be circled easily. They have a bonus to hiding so they are the best tanks for defending strategical points.

Artillery is artillery.

except he said he was in a low tier match, which is where leopards can decimate a base full of arty and TDs.

The more appropriate advice in this situation would be, how did you let the grille get a bead on you when you can circle him faster than he can turn? (this is assuming it really was alone as said, if there's an arty crossfire then things can get a lot trickier) Also were you using HE ammo? Although this is one of the things that makes the Pz3 a better scout in ways, the 75mm HE can make short work of arty if you actually manage to get to it, while 50mm HE is pretty shitty.

Lowest tier match I got was a few KV's I think which can almost one shot a leo with the 107mm.

I do have some general knowledge and tips about every type, but from his complaint about finally getting put into a low tier match I figured he didn't know the type roles. I did forget to put that you need to keep moving at all times in a light tank though which was probably important as he did say he got hit by the Grille.

but that's wrong you moron. light tanks have lower view range than the things they're supposed to be scouting, and even if they do get close enough to see the enemy they die in one hit and your team loses vision.

>>6580633
I was coming in at an angle, but since my first hit didn't kill him or take out his tracks he was able to turn towards me and shoot before I could get around him.

Even if they have lower view range, scouting is..well..literally the only thing that they can actually do in high tier battles.

The other thing they can really do is roll with the heavies and try to detrack one of the enemies before getting one shotted, which is far far less useful than spotting a few tanks and maybe a artillery for your artillery.

>>6580671
just because it's the only thing they can do doesn't mean they don't suck at it. a t-44 is a better scout than a light tank could ever hope to be. it's really annoying to hear people who only play high tier tanks act like they know anything about playing low tier.

Nanaya !yrBrqfF1Ew Tue Dec 7 04:40:35 2010 No.6580685

>>6580678
The thing about that though is the T-44 costs around 16.5k to repair, which is as much as a fully damaged(ammo rack explosion) King Tiger. While the tanks such as a Leopard cost about 4k to repair and they also can't do nearly as much as a T-44 could.

The light tanks are just really underpowered at this moment, it may be fixed later, but for now they have a hard time even doing the only thing they are good for. I actually sold my elite Leopard because of this.

Light tanks have no inherent role. They are shitty, just the way it is.
The only reason they are used is because players have no choice but to progress through them.

Consider this: do you have any incentive to go back from your T-44 to your A-20, for example? No.

And there should be some incentive.

Anonymous Tue Dec 7 05:11:35 2010 No.6580738

>>6580686

Well, cost to repair would be an incentive.

But an easy way to fix the light tank problem with little effort would be UNFUCK THE MATCHMAKING. There is no reason Leopards or A-20's and even worse PzIII's should be rolling with IS-4's. Not being able to damage anything and be expected to go suicide makes for a pretty shitty and unenjoyable game for both sides, one for the guy who's whole team is bitching at them to go kill themselves to the point they will friendly fire them. (I've seen this way too many times) and for the other side who dies a minute into the round and can't play again until the match is over. (I play a TD, so artillery fags have a total hard on for gunning for me.)

Sure the artillery players will bitch if you take out light tanks from their high tier matches, but tough shit. There really isn't any excuse to have people dying in the first minutes of a match, that just makes for an overall shitty game experience.

I mad.

>can't play again until the match is over
sounds like someone needs to play more variety of tanks. I'd rather die instantly and get in a different tank than spend 15 minutes camping. The worst thing is spending forever doing nothing then dying anyway without accomplishing anything.

The problem is the warping fix and the insane frequency of tracking made scouting next to impossible, the tier isn't really the issue. I had tons of fun scouting against tier 8s in my Pz3 before the last update because they couldn't hit me, and if they did my tracks didn't fall off and I kept going. I never really cared whether I was against tier 6 or tier 9, you died either way IF you got hit, but now you ALWAYS get hit.

And scouts should scout, period. I rage when faggots refuse to scout and force me to try to scout with my sluggish, Tiger-sized, no-sloped-armor 3001P. I had one round where this Stuart refused to scout, finally a Jpz4 and I sacrificed ourselves to light up the enemy for our heavies, and then he still didn't try to scout the enemy arty during the distraction, but instead started circling the heavies pinging his peashooter off them until he got one-shotted having accomplished nothing.

true, that's why I don't like to play as SPG's, they're a waste of time and the rate of progression is snail paced, guess these players have been playing to much CS in the past and somehow incorporate such tactic in every shooting games they get into and think its gonna work every time

when using light tanks in the game:

-accelerate, run, and scout, that's all, just wait till the arties get in position, run around halfway the map but do not go strait into the enemy base yet without their signal, when they are ready, then go run there circle around to spot targets for the arty then run away while ducking for cover(usually works excellently in a map with lots of buildings)
-do not engage heavier tanks than you or your dead, avoid open areas or they can home in on you
-when opportunities arise and there is a lone SPG you encounter, just run around him in circles a very close range and fire, it will hit him
-keep moving when inside enemy lines, do not be a hero attacking higher teir tanks than you are cuz your 50mm gun will not do any much damage at them at all
-when you are damage or stopped aground its natural you get killed at least you gave your arty teammates the sight they need to do their work, its still rewarded good

seriously, this game involves a lot of teamwork, tactics and knowledge, its not your average run and gun game where you can do whatever you want, if your not smart enough to play it, I think you should consider playing a different game instead

It tells you how much of a faggot your target is, from green(low) to red(high) respectively.

It's the chance of you penetrating on that exact spot. Green = 100%, Yellow = maybe, Red = not a chance. Don't rely on the colors on your shots, though; since the shot can go anywhere in that circle, and may thus hit a red spot although your pointer is green

IS-7
Pros:
-Fastest Heavy tank
-Very Sloped armor
-Fast turret movement
-Gun more powerful then Maus
-Machine guns for infantry update
-Small inner components
Cons:
-Weak rear armor
-Tracks vulnerable
-Weak spot at rear of turret

Maus
Pros:
-Thickest armor, hard to penetrate
-More HP then IS-7
-Tracks protected
Cons:
-Very slow top speed
-Very slow turret movement
-Little sloped armor
-Huge target
-No machine guns for infantry update
-Weak spot in front of hull
-Easy target for arty

If you want a tank that is fast and built for mobile combat and getting your hands dirty, get the IS-7

If you want a tank that is slow with a lot of armor that is good for staying put and shooting, get the Maus

You'd think any sort of lingering nationalistic asspain would have been soothed by the fact that Russia did in fact roll right up to Hitler's place, bust in the door, shit on the rug, and then fly their colors off the fucking Reichstag, all the King Tigers in the world be damned.

Easy 8 is very fast and nimble for a tier 6 tank. Yes that top speed doesn't seem very impressive, but with the 520hp engine you are constantly hitting that top speed.

M1A2 gun is pretty bad for M6 but quite good for a tier 6 medium. It's average penetration is not that low, 128mm vs 138mm for German long 75 or 144mm for Russian 85mm D5T. But that gun has a staggering 18.75 RPM, vs 15RPM for long 75 and 11.79RPM for D5T. With quite good accuracy too, it's excellent for catching scouts or tier 5 medium, and it really annoys any heavy tank you shoot at because you can keep them perma tracked.

Also, Easy 8 is getting 105mm howitzer in a future patch along with T1 Heavy, in case you really miss the normal Sherman. 105mm will be deadly on Easy 8, since it's speed allows it to flank people and put that 105mm HE in the rear for massive damage.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 8 08:34:35 2010 No.6587258 >>6587242 Oh yeah one other thing I missed: Easy 8 is the only tier 6 tank that gets Vertical Stabilizer. Most other nation needs tier 8 to get it. High speed/agility + stabilizer + 105mm howitzer = derp

I saw a guy in one going faster than my leopard but right now with the standard suspension and the 440hp engine it seems really slow. is it worth holding off buying the last engine since you unlock it automatically by getting to the next tier? I can save 11000 exp that way.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 8 08:36:35 2010 No.6587265 >>6587259 No it's not, you'll need that speed to grind for the 51k exp. It's one of Easy 8's main advantage.

I normally prefer tanks that stay put and shoot decent damage, but one anon recommended me to go down the panzer 2 ---> luchs ---> panther route

Now, I see that the pz2 is some kinda fast attcking guy, but I kinda suck at using him since I prefer standing and shooting instead of driving and shooting.

Still I dont want to give up on it since ppl tell me that the luchs is totally worth grinding for.

Any good combat tactics for a Pz2 ?

Ah... might as well post my current workhorse...

She's a decent tank... not as fast as Luch's but she definitely can hold on her own. Favorite tactic is ramming a smaller tank while dashing downhill... it will screw my tracks but it was fun seeing them panic a bit.

The AP rounds are there just in case I got thrown in a battle of high tiers and give them a good and surprising resistance.

And here is my little darling... the Luchs... she's a nimble fast agile girl that can outrun, out turn, out climb most of the lumbering heavies. With her I play safe... if hits bounce or ineffective I just pop a few rounds for harassment purposes then retreat and let the arty's take care of the rest... otherwise, I just do a mad dash towards their base or stick in a pack of bigger guys and wait for the right moment to shoot so the credit of kill goes to me...

She's got a nice paint job too... too bad they can't see it.

It means you can't remove them. With the camo net, you can pull it off one tank and throw it on another, but with things like that, it is a "permanent" mod that you can't just throw onto your next-tier-up tank when you upgrade.

Re: the infantry using antitank weapons:
>During these trials, a skilled user was unable to hit a target more than 60% of the time at 100 yards (90 m), and faulty fuses meant that only 75% of the bombs fired detonated on-target.

At least if they're using the british PIAT, they'll be more of an annoyance than a threat.

One gun of the StuG can make in average 410 damages with the HE shells, which is pretty powerful for something of its tier. It is also useful to fight high tier tanks and damaging their modules/crew.

Also the Leopard sucks, I made 3 critical hits on a IS-7, checked the results,
>0 tank damaged.
So even if they shout "CRITICAL HIT", you're not even damaging a module/crew.

Zimmerit paste. Gets applied to the surface of the tank and then hardened with a blowtorch. Makes it nigh-impossible to place a magnetic satchel charge on the tank. Ironically, the Germans were the only ones to use it and were at the same time the biggest user of magnetic anti-tank charges.
