welcome,i am trying to make a thread where the players can get some info about the tanks in the store,but i dont own all the tanks of the deal and i am not going to spend anything on those crates,so i need your help.

 

here we can do short reviews about the wz-111 , t28 htc , churchill mk6 , is2 , t54 mod 1 ,t95e2 , chieftain.and the m4/FL10,and we can discuss about which tank is the top deal of the event.

 

T54 Mod 1.

i bought this tank yesterday and i am in love with it.the amount of bounces that you can get is insane,plus decent mobility(46 km/h top speed with some 55's going downhill),and a kinda meh gun,good alpha(280),bad pen,and a slightly below average accuracy with 5 degrees of gun depression.

 

but the fact that sells this tank is the superb armor,120 mm on the front of the hull,90 on the sides,180 near the gun and 150 on the front sides of the turret.this means that you can sidescrape vs almost every tank in your tier and below,you can hull down and even going frontally because of the steep upper plate.

 

for 5000 gold you are buying a russian bias pocket heavy.

I disagree, the Mod 1 has been significantly power crept and the armor just does not really provide much of an advantage to make up for the subpar gun and mobility.

well its not a drive-forward and tap machine but you can bait those shots,by sidescrapping at 70° you can get up to 270mm of effective armor,same with the upper front of the hull.

and its very good on fighting same tier mediums,lights,some heavies and low tier targets.

Do you not understand math? That angle is literally almost pulling out sideways.

He means to show an auto bounce angle to the enemy... almost parallel with the wall.
yes that means to sidescrape at a sub 20 degree angle but no one says: "If you side scrape at 20 degrees you get an auto-bounce" 

People just say I sidescrape at (or show them) 70 degrees.

I’d get it but I already have the Type 59, which is essentially the same thing

No one says that because point of reference is the front of your tank.

I really like it. I don't think that it has been power crept, though maybe an extra degree or two of gun depression would be nice.

In seven days of gold collecting I can get either the Is2 (1945) or the t28 HTC... which one is better?

Well, I wouldn't say one is better. The IS-2 1945 is just a worse version of other IS-#s at tier 7. There is nothing really like the T28 HTC at tier 7. I would say wait till November 29th when they are doing the Flash Sales every two hours.

Even if it has been power crept, it's still one of the best Meds in tier 8.

as the dude said,you should wait till 29th to get some offers,and if you dont like the deals,you still have 2 days left.

Disagree. There are a bunch of better tanks, more unique tanks, and more fun tanks.

Neither. Both mediocre.

[rosgrim]

the "old" good t44 is better than both t59 and 54 1st

Do we know if the flash Friday sales are gold or cash? Because waiting is all well and good unless someone's just planning to use free daily gold.

 The Mod 1's armor is still so troll that you can brawl with tier 8 heavies. Personally I think THAT is kind of fun, and I cant think of any other tier 8 Meds that meet that criteria except for maybe the SP to some degree. Boring or not, it is still a good tank.

The pen really holds it back there and it is not that fast. I would rather have the Type 59.

 It never was fast, but it will turn on a dime and COD a Lowe easily. I run rammer and supercharge on my Type 59. That gives it 181 AP pen and 2036 DPM. On my Mod 1 I use CS and supercharge and it has 184 AP pen and 1953 dpm.

The difference is in the flexibility I would say. Type 59 has better turret armor and 7 degrees of gun depression. Also has a lot better mobility so the pen is less of an issue.
