The Pz3/4 is awesome even in higher tier matches. Its fast as hell and can hurt most things from the side.

Then again I also liked the Pz3 for the same reason. Hell the 38nA was crazy good in most matches.

Just don’t play lights/meds like heavies and you’ll do okay.

Now if you were deep into the Pz3 grind and wanted to go for a Pz4, yeah I can see that being annoying.

I really enjoyed Pz III, but for some reason just found the 38nA no fun. Its also really fugly!

But its so tiny!

I just rocked the house with that thing. My most kills will likely forever be the 38nA. I just don’t see getting 9 in anything else… ever. The 8 in my T-44 from before was crazy.

That is pretty crazy. I’ve got 10 in my KV, but that’s because in matches where it’s top dog, it can pretty much shrug off everyones shots, and a good portion of the lower tier tanks either don’t have a HE option, or don’t realize they have no hope of penning it.

So how are you guys digging the new tanks? to me they are just targets, as i have the german tree on lowest priority. the E75 seems to do just fine.

I’m digging the guys in E-50’s and E-75’s that want to toe-to-toe facehug battle my IS-4. I haven’t actually seen any of them that have been…you know…halfway intelligent. On either side. Seen a few E-100’s but I just treat them like a Maus. Give it a few weeks until people are used to owning one and slowly realize they aren’t overpowered because they’re new and shiny, and I expect some small modicum of intellect will return to most of them.

Maybe.

Are there plans to further mess with the German tree? The tree that was linked on overlord’s blog shows a tank coming after the Leopard, but last night the Leopard was still the end of it’s line.

They are adding the VK2801 in the 6.7 update.

VK2801

A bunch of light tanks is planned to be introduced into the game in 6.7 update. Tier 5 German light tank VK2801 is one of them.

JoshV · 2011-08-11T15:43:51.000Z

I have to agree with some of the comments on that link. Does the world (of tanks) need a Tier5 light? The lights are already mostly useless, and you’re better served just taking a fast medium tank.

Taranis · 2011-08-11T15:47:12.000Z

Anyone else in love with the new Panther? The 7.5mm L/100 gun is all kinds of awesome for a tier 7 medium tank and the matchmaking has improved considerably, I actually feel like I’m driving inside a tank now instead of a cardboard box ;)

I just broke down and got the BL-10 for my ISU. I sure hope it hits hard because those shells ain’t cheap…

Knightsaber · 2011-08-11T16:31:01.000Z

It hits ridiculously hard. But you’ll cry tears of sad when it bounces.

Yeah, at that price each miss is awful. Then again, last game I one-shotted a KV-5…

The BL-10 is an amazing gun–I wasn’t liking the high-end Russian TD’s much until I unlocked it, but after that I loved the ISU-152 and the Object 704.

smuttlegiaco:

I like my Jagdpanzer IV, more than the StugIII. the additional hit points are a blessing and the frontal armor also allows for a much better staying power. ok, the 88mm gun isn’t that good, but against light and medium tanks it does it’s job.

I’d have to say it is growing on me. it really is just a Stug III with more armour (better sloped) and jumped up a tier. Still don’t have the 88mm so my gun is woeful, particularly for a TD, but it can take a beat down.

When you get put in with Tier 5s or lower it can really shine.

Also saw a T-25 for first time, upon it shooting me! Probably going to get one.

Woah. Nice.

Nathan_Phoenix · 2011-08-12T07:54:54.000Z

Sweet, eight free days of premium for me, and the discounts are excellent!

Dave_Markell · 2011-08-12T08:23:19.000Z

Good stuff–thanks for the heads up.

RichVR · 2011-08-12T09:52:46.000Z

5X XP with my Hetzer, first round, and I’m in a StuGIII. Sweet!

vyshka · 2011-08-12T10:06:15.000Z

I guess it is time to get some gold. 50% on slots and equipment is a pretty good deal. Too bad it isn’t a 50% discount on tanks as well. I should get to the t-34 in one round with the a-20 tonight, and get my leopard to elite.
