Just got the L/70 75mm and holy crap. Nailed five tanks and damaged three more on my first game with it.

nice pagad. I am still liking my 105 on my Hetz for now. One shotting lights (Except those Damn Leopards) and scaring mediums and heavies.

I think the 10.5cm on the Hetzer is the way to go. Neither of the 75mm options really have the consistent ability to damage the big boys and in the Hetzer is tier 4 which is the "get tossed in with anyone and everyone right up to a Maus or IS-7" tier.

So I got the 10.5 centimeter gun for my Jagdpanther.

OH MY GOD. IT IS SEX INCARNATE.

I can knock a KV down to 46% with a single hit. It's got an accuracy of 0.3 at 100 meters. Its penetration range is from 150mm to 250mm :3

You don't realize how awesome those high accuracy weapons are until you start to get up in tiers and you start to find the real weak spots like the lower glacis, or you start trying for the asshole kills like tagging someone's ammo rack.

If only my aim times improved on my Russian T-28. 2-3 seconds to aim on every gun on that thing. That is with 76% gunner. -_-

Probably. I am hoping it is the high tier ones. The low Tier ones are a bit of joke as it is. T-28=Tin Foil Tank + Big Target. You become a larger threat once you get that 85mm but until then your not too scary.

The KV's until you hit KV'3 are not that big of a deal. If I could paint heavy tank kills on my Marder II, I would have a few KV-1's on the side along with a Couple T-1's.

I want match maker improved. Please no more fucking 3-4 American T-29's all one side. I have seen them roll up an entire team single handedly despite repeated hits and concerted efforts to stop them.

The Stu G III is quickly turning into the most fun vehicle I have ever played on this game. Seriously love it. With the L/70 laser cannon it is a beast!

Just played the tensest game I've had in ages - my team was down to me and a 15% Panzer IV versus a KV, Marder II and Grille. Damn near solo'd the KV at close range, taking advantage of his veeery slow turret to run rings around him - not something you can typically do with a TD! Got him down to 6% when he finally got me in his sights. The Stu G's good, but the 107mm cannon used by most KV drivers reigns supreme on damn near everything below tier 7. And then the Marder blocked me and I was dead. We lost, but I still killed 4 tanks and wounded 5 more. What a game.

[up] T-29s are a bitch. First time I encountered one in the beta with my Panther I thought it'd be easy meat, but my 88mm L/71 kept bouncing shots off it. That turret is insanely hard to penetrate and the hull is not easy to hit.

I started using the higher end 7.5cm gun on my Hetzer. I get speedier/accurate fire coupled with more accurate fire. Also reasonable armor penetration with AP shot.

T29s are easy. Like all american heavies, just aim for the hull.

Is that before or after it blows you apart in one hit half way across the map?

Yeah try taking one on in Soviet T-28, Hetzer, or a Pz III. I shot one...it only made it angry. Even my Derp Cannon at point blank in the hull did about jack.

I have seen higher Tier artillery take them out and high tier heavies, and mediums take them on. But not my Tier IV vehicles.

I can chew up an American T1 but my reload time on the gun is so slow They usually nail me before I get them lower then half.

[up][up] When the turret is huge and bulky and the hull thin and flat, not the easiest thing to do at range.

Had a great low-tier game in my Wespe on Ensk. Because everything was tier four or below, I decided that enemy tanks were going to dash down to our base too quick for me to get into a decent firing position, and I decided to operate as a makeshift tank-destroyer rather than an artillery piece (a gun-laying drive and gun-rammer makes this more practical than you might think). This attitude rewarded me with my first kill when an enemy T2 light tank sped straight into my gunsights and BLAM. I then racked up four more kills through a combination of direct and indirect fire before being ambushed by a Marder. Lesson? Don't underestimate artillery in small urban maps.

oddly enough I got more kills in direct fire mode then artillery mode -_-

I have gotten into decent matches with my Pz III the long barrel popgun actually pierced a tank with AP shot. WHOO HOO!

HE Troll Cannon the hetzer is so hit and miss.

I can't wait for the 85mm on my T-28. I call my T-28 the fail bus express.

I hear the 85mm is a drastic improvement on the T-28.

Oh indeed it is. In beta my T-28 had a 85mm and it was vast improvement in fire power.

I hate PU Gs I mean I really really fucking hate PU Gs. There's nothing as demoralizing as performing incredibly only to have your own loser team fuck it up. I take my m3 Stuart, I'm bobbing and weaving through the enemy lines. I use the terrain to stay out of sight and dodge almost everyone. I bounce a Wespe and blow it to hell before they even know what's up. I go after the second one and start to play keep away with him and his three medium tank buddies trying to keep him alive. For a good two minutes we play ring around the rosey with me knocking the Wespe down to to almost dead and all three mediums have at least 30% damage before the Sherman finally nails me. For a good three minutes I had neutralized a solid 1/3rd of their team and when I can finally take a moment to look what's up... our team is down 10 to 5 on the way to a solid loss even after I single handedly kept 1/3 of their team dead or occupied. Fucking hate PU Gs.

Yeah, the 85mm is an oddly effective gun you can wedge into the T-28. Sure it's a heavy tank sized beast made of shot traps with a light tank's armor and a medium's speed but you've got a gun that will hurt almost anyone.

I fight all my battles with PUG's.

I have never found a tank company that allowed Tier 4's that was launchable.

Sometimes they fight well sometimes they fight like cats drowning in the water. When you start to get into the higher tier battles you less stupidity. Not always but in general.

My stock KV is so poorly matched up in PU Gs that I might as WELL play clan matches. I have played numerous games where both teams have several Lowes, and it's not uncommon to see Tiers up to 8 mixed in as well.

I've learned since then that HE is my friend.

Well, there's your problem. You're using a KV. Which, in my experience fighting it, is a crappy ass tank.

OH.

Best game ever in my Jagdpanther last night. Eight kills. 19 hits out of 21 shots. Got sniper. Got top gun. GOT WITTMAN'S MEDAL.

Bitch ass, yo.

Pyro: I have seen some good KV drivers soundly thrash higher tier tanks and just wreck anything below their tiers even an assortment of TD's

My T-28 is My Fail Wagon with a Burning Finger. My hetzer is the Derp Turtle. My Pz III is my lawl mobile with a derp gun. My Marder is low tier troll cannon. I couldn't help it. I picked up a soviet at-1. I call him...minnie derp.
