I been wanting to get this tank for a long time, so I want to know if it it’s worth investment for my wallet, or an accidental potato famine for my pocket money -and of course, I want to know why you guys think is worth it or not-

 

By the way:

I haven't played it in a long, long time, so I'm unsure how good it is in today's meta. 

I remember the gun being absolutely fantastic, which is going to be essential since you'll be in Tier VI games 90% of the time. The reverse speed being better than the forward speed is also pretty quirky, and means you can easily back into cover once you take a shot. You have no armor to speak of, so caution is advised. Stay to the second or back line, and watch out for KV-2s.

if you can figure out how to position it to support your team, it's an amazing tank. camo is excellent, and the gun is ridiculous at tier 5.

Yes spend your money to drive backwards.

I thought this was discussed yesterday?

[fangs58]

Yes. It is worth it. It will make credits. Even if you get blown up fairly early in battle it will still earn coin. That being said it will also frustrate the heck out of you at other times. All in all if you can get that gun working you can make credits. So IMHO fun but frustrating at times, and Ka-ching.

5.5 has helped it. Prior to 5.5 Leo's and Luchs, A20s even M5 Stewarts could really make life hard for it. The nerfing of those tanks and others like made life better.

I am using the Angry Connor during Mad Games with a single purpose :  GRINDING CREDITS and believe me it works perfectly 

[SpartacusDiablo]

If you need a good credit grinder and don't mind driving backwards the answer is yes.

Pros
- Amazing gun for its tier. Good alpha, good dpm, good accuracy, and good pen. Very rarely will you need premium rounds.
- Good camo
- Excellent credit grinder.

Cons
- You have to drive in reverse to get to where you want to be. You need to learn when to turn around to get you gun in action. Turn too soon and you are slow to the fight. Turn too late and you are dead.

- Armor is nonexistent.   Don't get shot.

All in all the Connor is a fun tank and the nerfs at tiers 4 and 5 made it even better.

Lol you got banned on your first account so you come back with a second account?

[Forward_To_Death]

Reported for bad joke attempt. 

 

Spoiler

 Back on topic- Spartacus summed it up...if you can manage the Drive Backwards thing, the gun is solid.

I bought it a while back but just started using it for credit grinding myself. Making 35k for basically doing nothing is really nice. And making 80k for a great game is awesome. That your battles are quicker at Tier V makes it even better, as you could get in a couple of two or three minutes games versus one five or six minute game at a higher tier. So you’re effectively making 70k to 160k compared to higher tier games. My platoon mate, Shadodark, runs with his Shinobi, and he’s racking up even more credits than me. 

 

And ya driving backwards is definitely the thing you have to get used to.

 

But key thing is this. You’re making as much money losing as you would be winning in another tank. It’s hilarious.

[ZebraUp]

All of the above AND it's probably the most unique tank in the game. That alone makes it worth playing!

[Big_Tidday_Goth_GF]

Tier V makes more shekels than you would think and this is not a terrible choice
