The 107mm is a Tier 7 gun, and performs like a Tier 7 gun.

167 pen, 300 damage. That is better pen than the Tier 6 US TD carries.

[Tamas]

   ok thanks, I will certainly give it a try.

[Berkut]

Tamas, it is pretty much like I said upthread - the 107mm doesn't have nearly the giggle factor of the 152mm, but is overall a vastly more capable weapon.

WHen you get a top tier match with an upgraded KV with the 107mm, you should expect at least close to a Top Gun. You will be 1 shotting shit left and right.Of course, you would be 1 shotting that same shit with the 152, except you could only do it up close and once every 30 seconds, instead of at any range and every 7 seconds.

Is auto-aim worth using?

Is auto-aim worth using?

Sometimes.  If you're looking to shoot a tank that's target practice for you, it's not moving, and want to do it ASAP, auto-aim is fine.  In most other circumstances, though, manual aim will work better.

[Berkut]

AUto aim is also very useful when you are in a moving dogfight, and staying moving is more critical than hitting.

QFT -- especially when you are in a light/scout tank....hitting a target is the least of your concerns, so auto-aim works good to give you the occasional giggle hit...

[DGuller]

Unfortunately, when you're moving, the enemy does too.  That means that auto-aim will reliably hit the place your enemy was in a second ago.

A dogfight, by definition, is at short range. I get plenty of hits using auto-aim in turning fights where you are trying to stay ahead of someones turret.

And I have been in plenty of fights where I am moving and my target is not, for that matter. Like when I am in a light taking on a heavy or TD as I go by and he is shooting at someone else.

[Slargos]

By simple logics, DGuller's statement is unassailable.

I'm sorry, Berkut, but you've been lawyered.

It hurts my brain so much to get Top Gun and still lose.

[C.C.R.]

I'm getting extremely annoyed with getting my tracks damaged on the first hit that I take...

[Habbaku]

It hurts my brain so much to get Top Gun and still lose.

  Had it happen to me twice in the last few days.  Once (as mentioned before) when I destroyed 8 of them virtually unassisted.  Why must my team suck so?

[Berkut]

SO the E-50 is, of course, awesome.

However, with only the first engine upgrade, it really isn't a medium tank. It has a decent top end in the 40s, but it takes a very long time to get there and does not maneuver real well. It is pretty much a heavy tank.
