1) Work every single TD line, except the US turreted ones.

Really?  I can't do shit with the T-25 AT;  even with the big gun, it folds like a paper cup and 2, maybe 3 shots and you're dead.  I have much more success with the T-25/2, even though it doesn't have the AT's ubergun.

Holy crap, the T25 AT is by far the best TD in its tier, IMO.

It isn't a German TD though - you can't stand there and take shots with it.

But it has an awesome gun, and the mobility of a medium. It has no turret, but turns fast enough that it doesn't need one. It is a GREAT td.

That must be it.  I have a habit of doing that a bit too much.

[katmai]

Yes, yes you do

[CountDeMoney]

JUST ONE MORE SHOT

DOH

I was meh on the T25 until I got the big gun.  Then it was a blast.

[katmai]

Seedy has the big gun on it.

I'm only tempted to try that line for the 95

[CountDeMoney]

Yup, it's the only thing that reliably does any damage in your usual "what the fuck are Tier IXs doing here?" matches we see so much of.

I LOVED the T-25. It's basically a smaller Jagdpanther. You zoom around like a medium delivering some serious punch. Plus, while weak, the angled armor can be very useful at times.


Also, I have a T-32. I just had a game with it yesterday when not only I was hull down but also was left alone to stay like that for quite a while, with the 4 top tanks of the opposing team trying to damage me. Lulz.
But in general, I fail with that tank. I understand it's supposed to be a good all-around thing. You aren't THAT slow for a heavy, you are a small target for a heavy, you have good gun depression and a turret that is just insanely armored. But somehow I just can't really perform in it. I hate the gun. Nowadays I am not too good with heavies in general though. I am a TD and medium tanks guy.

Thanks for the input.

Probably going the IS route, with an eye on getting the IS-3 for tank companies...

[Berkut]

Holy
Fuck.

So, I finished off researching the JagdPanther II, so I sold the JagdPanther (again).

Then I decided I would go ahead and grab the Hetzer (again) so I could finish eliting it, which apparently I never did originally for some reason - probably that stupid radio on it. So all I need is the radio (5400) and the tracks (1200).

We win our first match, so I get the x2 XP and research the tracks, which allows me the weight to mount the derp gun.

Next match, I load up the derp gun, grab a few gold rounds, and head out to play.

Victory!

10 shots fired, 9 hits, 9 kills.

That is new high kill total for me.

[Tamas]

gold ammo  I hetzerd 9 kills without gold ammo. do THAT after me

[CountDeMoney]

Only good Hetzer is a dead Hetzer.

[DGuller]

HEAT rounds are stupidly overpowered, as I said many times previously.  If Hetzer has the same derp gun as Pz IV, then 9 kills is impressive, but not that incredible.  I often get 6-7 in Pz IV, which is one tier higher.

No they're not.

[Berkut]

Well, four of my kills were actually with just regular HE, since there was no reason to waste gold rounds on artillery...
