Panzermoe!

Old Thread: >>6684202

World of Tanks is a Tank MMO in "Closed" Beta (500,000+ people playing can hardly make it closed). Battles are 15 vs 15.

The /jp/ channel in game is called "/jp/ (Mew)", 10-30 people are usually in it and will answer any questions.

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.

The 128mm it used by the maus and JT was designed off the Russian 122mm and fired a 61lb projectile at 2770fps and penetrated 148mm at 2,000 meters. The 128 was designed to use spare 122mm rounds left behind by Russians with minor alterations, it used the same multi-piece round that had to be assembled before shooting.

[(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ BOOF ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜) !AWEsomEEEE!!R/52MaMCG2y No.]

>>6709880
The T28 used a 105mm that fired a 52lb projectile with a velocity of 3,700fps and could penetrate nearly 300mm at 2,000 meters. It had a range of 12 miles. The gun had machinery to assist in loading and unloading the rounds and ejected spent brass out of the tank.

Smaller projectile, higher velocity.

[(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ BOOF ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜) !AWEsomEEEE!!R/52MaMCG2y No.]

The 130mm S-70 was designed for naval warfare and is still in use today. This is an automatic version of the gun used on the IS-7 mounted on a battle ship.

It fires a 73lb 130mm projectile at 2,788fps and penetrates 143mm at 2,000 meters It had a range of 12 miles.

So yes, the IS-7 is literally a land battleship.

Mounting secondary (5-inch) armnament that a battleship happens to carry does not make it a "land battleship". Stick the 400-mm primary cannon of a battleship on it and then we'll talk.

IS-7 fun facts.

The IS-7 had a barrage of Slostin Gatling guns that could be deployed for anti-air fire.

It was also one of (if not the first) tanks to have infrared optics and full night combat abilitys.

"The mating ritual of the modern TANK is complex and deep. During periods of stress, usually brought on by environmental events such as ARTILLERY FIRE a TANK will become agitated from normal behavior and take to the FOREST in search of a mate. When a suitor is discovered a tense verbal exchange is made in which the two TANKS evaluate the willingness to mate. If both parties are prepared to reproduce they begin the complex mating dance of the TANKS. They release "SHELLS" in a semi-random pattern over an extended period of time. These SHELLS are comparable to the way in which plants release large amounts of pollen over a wide area. However it also serves another purpose. Like the peacock's plume, the way in which a TANK arranges SHELLS beautifully demonstrates the sexual fitness of a potential mate. If a BULLET reaches an ENGINE, sometimes called a FIRE then that TANK will typically retreat to a new location for REPAIR, a necessary nutrient for the growing TANK."

Your crew members will increase in rank at 75% base skill, 100% base skill, then every 50% for each skill. They may not all be the same rank at the same level. For instance, my tank commander is a rank above the driver and gunner, who are a rank above the loader, despite them all being the same level of skill. From what I can see there seems to be a +1/0/-1 modifier based on the crewman's position. Given you level twice during the basic ability and twice for each of the three skills, that, with the position modifier, leaves 10 ranks.

Fair warning: The experience required to get a crew to complete each skill increases significantly. Some of us have some very experienced tankers, but none of us have crew with all three skills maxed out. nearly 400k experience on this crew and they're at 60% on the second skill.

[Nanaya !yrBrqfF1Ew No.]

So after being set on fire and killed by stupid shit the last few times I've tried to grind I tried again.

First game: Against JagdTiger, Ferdi, and IS-3. I have a VK4502 at my side so we are fine. arty shoots me and does about 100 dama-WE'RE ON FIRE PUT IT OUT dead.

Second game: I'm fighting a Ausf B and winning, up by about 37% or s-WE'RE ON FIRE PUT IT OUT dead.

Third game: After taking out a Ferdi, IS-4, and T-32 who was at our base alone it's me and a JagdPanzer IV against a KT and hummel. I'm at 900ish hp and the KT is at 83%, we've got th-KT shoots me WE'RE ON FIRE PUT IT OUT dead.

I've had the manual fire extinguishers every game.

[Anomynous No.]

Nah, it's when you take a hit, survive, take another hit, still survive, then take an arty shell and never spot anyone that will really get you going.

Or when you spot the TD, take a shot at it, then take three rounds from tanks you can't see.

Or when you're in a TD and you take an arty shell because someone spotted you while you were stationary. (That or that was one really lucky artillery)

[Anonymous No.]

>>6719316
>That or that was one really lucky artillery
If it hit you, it was already really lucky.
Yes, I'm bitter.
But the spotting mechanics are hilariously bugged, I'm camping in a bush, not even moving/shooting/farting, with my camouflage net and 60% camouflage skill, and I get spotted by a random scout moving through an open field before I spot him myself - I only see him once he starts shooting me.
And it happened more than once.

Moving/rotating your hull unmasks your position.

[Anonymous No.]

My main issue with the spotting mechanic is that it rewards camping and punishes scouting and pushing forwards.

I mean it's great the developers think lights and mids can scout and arty can back them up, but in reality all the mechanic does it make the game into TDs and heavies camping at spawn protected by arty, while lights and mids go out into the meatgrinder of no-man's-land. This is made even worse by maps like Halkun, which are absolute suicide for anyone that ventures any distance away from their spawn.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6719399
you should at least know the bush you are hiding at, it should be bigger than your tank and coves a large area, its best when your hiding under a tree, an entire forest should do, if your using a tank that has a large profile or a heavy tank, then camo is useless, only TDs are qualified for camo because of their low profile, if you fire or move the hull just one meter, then your cover is blown

[Mayhem No.]

So I heard you like tier 9 tanks?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6719600
and also, you can't spot enemy tanks unless they're hiding behind a bush forest and behind structures or in stationary position, to spot them you have to be very close to them to get a good chance

Ok, arty roulette can be fun sometimes.
Game at 2 vs 2 at Lakeville, me and another arty vs 2 low tier TDs. We decided to rush after spending the game camped, and apparently so did they - half a minute before I get to their base I see "Friendly base captured".
So what do I do?
Try a desperate, utterly blind potshot at our base, completely unaimed - my reticule was pretty much the size of the base circle.
...and of course I hit and kill him.
The other one still tried to cap, but we got to their base fast enough to win.

Always nice when luck favors you in a match. I've had a game on Lakeville where an allied arty counter artied one of theirs blind in under two minutes into the game by shooting at his favorite spot on the other side of the map. It just happened to be someone else's favorite as well.

Given it was never built, that comparable weapons (the Schwerer Gustav railcar siege artillery) fired once every 30-45 miuntes, and that you don't start the round with your guns loaded I imagine that it would just be a large target as the gun slowly loaded to half finished over the course of a 15 minute match never firing a single shell.

I'm getting really sick of how cowardly and selfish your average player is. in one game we were base racing with enough of an advantage that we would win if no one got hit. then one retard decides he wants another kill, drives around the church, gets dinged, and makes us lose. then in the opposite situation the guy closest to our base refuses to move from behind his rock to take a shot and we lose. another time it was 5>3 in our advantage, but we lost because no one would move out against a single tiger guarding their base while we were getting capped. I've had people try to team kill me because I was capping and they wanted to get one more kill first.

It's because these are the same players who are obsessed with kill/death ratios and whatnot. Little do they know that I'm raking in EXP by the fistful even without making any kills, as long as I put a serious hurting on some high-tier tanks.
-Kill a scout but don't damage anything else, camp and hide till team wins = something like 400exp or lower
-0 kills but damage an IS3, a KT, a Ferdi, and a VK3601 before getting popped, helping team win the match = over 1,000 exp almost guaranteed

I think my survival rate is something less than 30%, but I don't care because you've got to get out there and push when a push is needed to help your team win.

Does angling your hull increase the slope effect?

Also, brotip: rotate your turret on a close or distant face to face to avoid them shotting and killing your gun, and to protect the weak gun mantlet that can be penetrated easily. Don't rotate too much though, the side turret is weaker and usually holds some precious modules and crews.

Any idea what I did in this map that caused a higher than average amount of XP production?

Of the tanks I didn't kill, I did a high percentage of the total damage on them, so I know that counts for a bit. And they are mostly higher tier tanks than my T29 so maybe a bonus there...

But I have had better rounds than this, especially with my M41. A round where you bring down a Maus or IS-7, and 5 other tanks. The XP was never this high, and that was with Tier V arty (assuming a difference in rank gives some kind of xp multiplier or something).

[Anomynous No.]

>premium tanks
The Germans have captured French tanks.
The Russians get a number of British tanks
The Americans get a British tank and a couple of quite good American prototypes.

I think the consensus is that the medium and heavy French tanks aren't that great, at least not when compared to the advantages of the other Premium tanks, but the 38H735 (f) is a beastly tank for its tier because it has >50% more armor than any other tank in that tier.

[Anomynous No.]

>>6741268
Damage really is more important than the killing shot. It seems to me like getting the killing shot is only worth about 10% of the tanks hit points. So killing a tank from 100% to 0% nets you 100% damage plus 10% for the killing shot, where if you do 90% of the damage but someone else finishes, you get 90% while they get 20%. Or so it seems to me.

You also get experience for taking hits, high accuracy, surviving the match, time in the match, spotting for someone else (they're shooting at something you're radioing the location of), and a number of other things. Someone has a list, but I lost the link to it. My best matches are ones where I'm lucky enough to constantly be on the flank of the enemy tanks and firing almost constantly while taking a few hits, but not dying.

Arty might have a reduction in experience for damage on account of the amount they do per shot, but it might be simply because they rarely engage in the other actions which grant experience (rarely get hit, rarely spot, almost never detect, etc)

Disregard my deleted comment, I misread. I didn't really mean just the Hummel with the counter arty thing, every tier 4 to 6 but the new ones (if I remember correctly) had its stats nerfed. Counter arty is now a waste of time unless the arty you're countering is big and slow.

Right.
Anyway, most of the time I only take single shots at the opposing arty if I happen to notice them - the only time I focus on them is if they focus on us, mostly because it annoys me to no end if I have to move too much.

I normally do it the other way around. I let them waste counter shots on me while I'm pounding on their main attack force, because the Hummel is speedy and they'd have to miss by a mile to hit me.
