I noticed that it says the Grille has 15 degs of gun depression and 5 degs of elevation.  Probably backwards

The Leopard 1 and PTA are bad snipers.  The E100 and IS-7 are average front line tanks.  I think the metric needs to be adjusted.  Cool site though.

Really? In which game? Both have one of the best accurate guns in the game.

The elevation/depression angles for the St. Emil are also swapped.

 

I love how this site is in the WoT style :0 Good work! I find the rankings per stat very interesting. According to them, St. Emil does NOT have the lowest DPM of tier 7.

It is according to the website this post is about.  I think the website gives all variables for a given tactic an equal weight.  

Edit: I just noticed the Panther is a bad sniper also

I'm noticing it for all tanks.

 

I really do like how it will rank the tank in a given tier or class or battle group for each attribute.  The size ranking is really, really cool.

ahhh ok...  yes Lowe is wrong too I think.

Hello. Thanks for the work. I have a suggestion. I think it would be great if you can add a tool that asks for the user's username, analyze the stats, and recommend which tank line to grind. This shouldn't be too hard to implement. For example, if the player is new, recommend soviet heavies and if the player has good enough stats in meds, recommend leopard 1 line. Of course, the details should be filled in by good players (Definitely not me) when making the program.

I really like where this is going so far, and can't wait until you get the slider for crew exp working since that's something I haven't seen another site use. I also hope to see you improve the tactics part, some I agree with some I don't, but it could just be semantics in the end.

 

I think the info in the Parameters section could be controlled by tabs to cycle between the subsections. So if the "Fire Power" section is auto-highlighted when the page opens and 2 other tabs for Gun Handling and Mobility. Just to condense that information down some.

Wow, this is a really good site.

 

Pros:

• penetration loss over distance. I already knew high-tier APCR loses very little pen over distance, but what I didn't know was that some guns like the VK28.01's Waffe gun actually loses less penetration over distance with APCR rounds than its own AP rounds.
• hidden dispersion numbers like on turret traverse, hull movement, and hull traverse all in one place. BlitzStars' tank-compare still doesn't have dispersion on turret traverse numbers, for some reason.
• ranking functionality is super cool
• tank size measurements. Are those from the actual Blitz game data, or were they pulled from Wikipedia or some other real-life source?

 

Cons:

• lack of a direct comparison function, i.e. tank-compare
• minor nitpick, but lots of wasted space under the configuration column
• armor charts are mostly useless compared to Armor Inspector

I believe I read that all data comes from the ingame client.

Thanks, everyone for positive feedback.

I'm working on making tactics more useful: more precise and maybe better explained.

Stay tuned for updated.

Thanks!

Tank size is from collision (armor) 3d model, so it is from game data. I did check real-life sizes for several tanks and it seem somewhere near. Anyway it is in same units for every tank, so a good way to compare them.

 

About the cons: I don't really want to duplicate tools that are already out there. I understand that it is convenient to have all tools in one place, but I'd rather spend time creating something new and helpful than just copying others.

 

Armor performance has a bit different aim, than just show thickness of armor plates. I hope it will become more clear and useful down the road with more positions/tactics.

I love seeing how each tank stacks up in its class/tier for all the different attributes.  I would really like to see more indepth statistical analysis (means, standard deviations and so on).  Can we get graphs for each tier and attribute that plot where each tank lies?  That would be awesome and we wouldn't need to search each tank individually.

I agree, why reinvent the wheel.

Awesome Site.

 

only feedback they it would be nice to have a 3D model tank inspector implemented

Crew slider should be working. What browser/system do you use?

Does anybody else have this problem?

This is a great idea.

You put depression and elevation backward. A great site overall

[acrisis]

Fantastic job so far!!!

Great work. I hope you earn some cash for your efforts because you deserve it.
