Draschel: Again, DPM isn't too necessary a trait. But when tanks do not have
focused DPM, like an autoloader, you NEED DPM if that is the
caseFor instance, T77 and Skoda 27 and Lorraine, do not have DPM.
Yet in an instant they can salvo you with autoloader focus fire,
giving them placebo DPM. Tanks like Somua and Progetto
and Skoda 50 on the otherhand, have both autoloader ability AND
sensible DPM too. Is Panther 88 or Caernarvon A X king,
because they have a tonne of DPM? No. But with single
shot tanks, there needs to be plenty of additional perks to keep
them competitive, against autoloader tanks which more and more are
getting higher than usual DPM values. 274A? LIS? Lansen? These
tanks hit not only for 320, but also have good DPM. AP AMX needs a
gun handling fix.

Draschel: But it isn't just DPM. The gun handling sucks. The view range
mediocre. Armor mediocre. is it bad category? No, it is not.
We have tanks like VTU there, or AMXCDC. But AP AMX30 isn't a top
med in the tier. No where near.

Jaguarz: Yeah those are around the figures I had, to be honest the
Chars requirements were higher than I expected as thought those who
just got a free tank from battlepass would have tanked it down
though Im not complaining. I was surprised the T-55a was
significantly higher at 4k, maybe Im the problem and it just doesnt
fit me anymore and yeah, the Kpz requirements are nuts, I can
understand it though, useable turret, decent viewrange, decentish
armour, great depression, super fast high pen apcr base and a good
HEAT round, its literally a tier 10 medium which sees t7s though I
dont actually enjoy playing mine much.

low ammo count being its only drawback (for me), I got an 8 perk
crew in it and the view range to 520 in vision spec, pretty easy 3
mark though it looks like its about the 3rd hardest (t9 med) on NA.
Kunze has been more of a mixed bag with higher peaks and
lower troughs as likely lacks capacity to do a clip dump to
maintain mark when things go sideways. I have a view spec of 510+
and cvs in view spec, capable of taking light position, TD position
and medium position, highly versatile tank. The 55a.... I
thought I would enjoy jumping back into this a lot more than I
have, perhaps from rose tinted glasses syndrome and remembering it
better where it used to be top of the heap and now it isnt, or
maybe I just evolved past whats basically a "standard" medium
design into the more niche models as a point of preference. I found
its 50kph top speed limiting but yes, most importantly the glacial
(for the other med tanks I play they are 3/4ers of the speed)
rounds frustrated me highly, I dont like to gold spam in any tank
and 221 pen is t8 territory so it "feels" low on ammo (I think 42
or 43 rounds) especially when playing mid to long range as cant
thread the needle effectively due to the time the shells arrive.
Its HEAT round is superb and t10 class and its mark requirements
are second only to the Kpz meaning some people are kicking booty in
this thing though Im pretty sure with a solid gold round load out.
I dont find 55a players a threat by and large while Kunze
and Chars have more, how shall we say, annoying options open to
them and depending on map and player can be really annoying to play
against though for the most part they are less effective than 55a
players. I dunno man, maybe Im just jaded on it, I
personally class it as balanced, I think the char, kunze, Kpz, T50,
PTA and standard B have the potential to be more effective than it,
at least in the random pub matches that I play.

Draschel: Yeah, I play alot of 121. It was my first T X 3 mark.
So T55A velocity, or something like WZ120FG velocity sits really
fine with me.Considering how powerful they've made T3485M, and
140/907 - really surprised they've not given everything to T44100
and T55A, but they certainly have given lots.
If they included
T54 120mm UFP, T54s -6 gun depression, T54s base DPM, maybe
just a tad more AP pen like 274A 227.....theres no telling
just how powerful T55A would be. Because it principally shoots
HEAT, it therefore needs to split ammo into AP/HEAT mixes
because it needs to be able to shoot through fences, or tracks/side
skirts - it can't just spam prem like super conquer or Fochs B. A
little more AP pen would be nice From what I understand,
T55A sits at 4,050 combined for 3 mark req? Char futur is 3,650?
Skoda 50 is 3,500, and Kamp pz sits at a ridiculous 4,550.

fact the AP itself was also boosted 175m/s The tank received 50 HP,
0.1 aim time, incredibly 170 horsepower, incredibly 40/20 turret
armor. This is substantial single iteration buffing. This makes it
better than T54. While T54 has 110 more DPM with 201 pen gun,
the gun was turned into a derp with the aim-time and accuracy to
balance the DPM. Using the 219 pen gun and you remove 350 DPM and
gun depression. May I ask, what is wrong with 1,070m/s
shell velocity? What is so glacial about it? And if HEAT spamming,
you know 895m/s isn't too slow either, considering its the same
basically as 907 and 140? Kran drops to 840. You make it sound like
it is Sheridan or something, with the derp. I am just surprised in
the mega buff, it didn't receive -7 gun dep like 140 and 120 armor
like T54, or it'd be even stronger. It is not better than Kamp pz,
sure. But certainly more of a tank than Kunze and Char futur.
Considering PTA gun handling reductions, the tank is either 2 or
3rd best tier 9 med, depending on how powerful you think Skoda 50
is.

learning and progressing and are the ones who will benefit most
from actual advice (aka not the rantings of a 45%er), I would

are searching a 3-mark, performance is relevant? Rations boosts
mobility too, certainly not to level of octane gas, but what it
does for gun handling, DPM, VR helps. Since you do care of
mobility, the turbo in mobility unlocked slot will help a great

spud_tuber, on Feb 06 2022 - 17:50, said: Steppes isn't exactly a scouting map. Sure, a scout can sometimes
work the middle early, especially from south, or if fast enough(aka
wheelie fast) maybe make a run on one of the flanks before falling
back. Most of the early fighting involves mid to face brawl range
fighting on the edges, however.
Now, depending how things go, sometimes eyes to help dig out campers after a flank is won can be useful, especially from the north, but generally speaking a high VR med can do the job just as well as an LT, because there is limited ways to approach using concealment rather than cover, anyway.

make them lose, the different is huge. I would keep the +-25% for
damage but lower the pen rng to +-10%. I'll would also reduce the
dispersion value of every tank so they have all better accuracy and
also reduce aiming time. wthis aiming time anyway? Now this would
probably lower credit expense so you increase ammo cost.

Link on message: #12995135

Draschel: lets analyze this.First of all, this is a tier 8 game. Thats
pretty average a game for a gun depression map. You need to score
your pts when you get these opportunities. Look at that
loathsome gun handling. Like compare this thing to T1LPC,
RAAC, progetto. It just shoots all over the place, and the bloom.
YikesIf that ISU was untouched by your allies, you would have sat
there all game trying to shoot him. Confronting the Guard, Rofl.
This thing. This tank seriously reminds me of a Mutz, a
2021 mutz. That trades gun handling, VR, DPM, camo for ->
alpha and better armor. Your blocked damage, impressive.
But whats more impressive, in the big fight J2 you were shot at 7
times. 4 misses into the dirt, 3 blocked. The position was your
friend here, not just armor. You were simply hard to even hit. Like
a Type 64 just exposing the top to fire. Another big issue is, this
is a corridor ridge fight. Not all ridge fights can have your foes
directly in 45 degree span of you, facing forward. Maps like cliff,
redshire, westfield. The armor can't just be in one place, your
gun. Thats a major reason of Chieftains popularity over Kran, the
turret doesn't turn to cheese as soon as angle of 30
happens. When you confronted the TD, .....DPM shows its
ugly face. 2012 DPM. Yeah....for an non autoloader tank, that
doesn't cut it. Not unless you hit like Chimera T-34-3
Revalorise.

saying is 2k damage at tier 8 is nowhere close to an average or
benchmark, it's a damned good performances by a damned good
player... a target many miss including several purples,
nothing more. I totally think hitting 2k dpg is a heck
of a goal, in fact recently I've mostly done exactly that... But
it's not a reasonable benchmark. A 2k dpg match i(average
over time, not one off) n a tier 8 medium is beyond the
capabilities of 95% of the user base. Now if we're talking
about 2k damage in a match being a reasonable target... Sure.
But having a game at 2k+ is trivial compared to averaging 2k.
It's like how acing a tank is trivial compared to 3 marking a tank,
especially in modern WoT where 15 to 0 stomps are so common.

much. Hopefully frontlines comes sooner and lasts longer, rather

turbo,optics,rammer scout slot for field maps. Rotation
mech,vents,rammer in city maps. Revalorise has certainly become
very long in the tooth now, but remains my favorite T8 premium
medium. While I don't have AMBT to change my mind, I think 122TM is
real Meh and I'd never try to 3-mark that thing. I learned how
to play high tiers in vehicles such as IS5, IS6, 112, WZ111. Close

just need to wait. Sort of like how they have been buffing T34
heavy over 8 years? Remember that POS T34 heavy? Do you
believe that piece of scrap junk used to have 0.32/0.32 movement
and traverse dispersion? 3.5 aim-time? 12HP/T? 360 VR and 18 turret
traverse? It was a horrific tank destroyer, with SPG stats, on a
heavy body without hull armor.Well guess what its now 0.25/0.25 and
3.2. Its since got 380 VR and 14 HP/T, and 24 turret rotation. And
yes, while still bad for heavy tanks compared to Skoda 56 or
Renegade or 53TP, we can both clearly agree that T34 heavy has come
a long long long way in improving. Same with the Lowe
tank. I suspect the first order would be improving its
HP/T and top speed, and dispersion stats. I'd see a buff like 900
horsepower, 40 speed like 110, 0.25/0.25/0.25 dispersions
being a good start.

was make 114 a type of intermediate tank like this, where it isn't
superheavy say like E75, but has more mobility than it. And more
armor than something like M103 or conquer, but in turn
slower The firepower is the most puzzling part. 0.33/0.33/0.33
and the aim-time, very unusual, very hard to explain. I think they
just took a mix of T34 heavy, 122TM, put on a chassis like ST-I,
and removed side armor, and released it. I think its a Meh
tank. Not much different than Strv K. Meh

2,100 wasn't too difficult. The 3 marks were under 200 battles, and
700 + 650 were the respective assistance. The crews weren't
anything special, working on the 3rd skill. Used old obsolete
pre-2.0 ventilation/rammer/optics setups. If I started playing
my tier 8 premium mediums outside of strongholds or FL for stats,
they'd be with new post 2.0 equipment sets and not until field mod
are done. They'd have minimum 4 complete skills, or wouldn't bother
till I pay for the crew books for them. BIA, core skills,
firefighting, camo, and working on repair the 5th, to which 60% the
5th skill only costs 4million when you are done the 4th, simple.
Rations mandatory, to which before and in FL/SH I just use auto
ext. Keep in mind APCR standard ammo. AP only used if HEAT is
secondary, to which you need important overmatches or bypass side
screens. AP on tanks like Lansen or RAAC, only for firing into the
air at the beginning of the game when other players raise their
gun. I'd be TRULY ashamed of myself, if I couldn't manage 2k
+500 spot, in things like prog36, RAAC, T54 Mod, Lansen, T1LPC, or
playing FCM50 as a med. I think the big trouble ones would be
FV4202 and AMXCDC. Those would be hard sauce to get 2k damage, and

Some people have problems with this, because it only comes out over
a large number of battles. It is extremely difficult, if not
impossible, to quantify contributions that don't relate to a
specific statistic. So instead, some people focus on something that
is more direct. Like damage. But that is, and always will be, only

the end, over time, if all this "work" you are doing is valuable to

is winning the same amount of time that you are in a tank, they are
doing something that you are not. And that thing is just as
valuable to the win as your extra damage. And yep, that therefore
makes them just as good a player. Yes, I know it is more
difficult to think about all the varying things that can happen in
a match that matter to a win, versus a simplistic "dmg = gud" and

Draschel: Again, you seem to be stuck in 2nd gear here. Damage
=/= good. I do not know where you are getting this formula. You are
missing alot of coefficients. Damage, assistance, blocked, travel,
survival, wins. All of these are but pieces yet you singularly
seclude 1 as the enemy. It isn't so. You are confusing and
incorrectly melding; [(losing and losses because of
an ace trying to get more per battle)] VS the
win and victory that could have been without incident
secured by capping, This happens EXTREMELY RARELY. For every time
it happens, this exact ace that, lets use this current example of
someone consistently dealing 2000+500 in tier 8
med, will win far more than he loses. And far more will
it be, his team is WINNING because of his contributions, than his
team ends up losing, because of his search for glory. You
really need to straighten this out, you are incredibly
incorrect. A bot can sit in cap and collect points.
Anyone can get the win this way. But if you DEPEND on this strategy
for winning, you'll be 47-52% and have 1,000WN8, and never 3 mark
anything, except maybe on SA server in a tier 5, or something
ridiculously bad. But contributions, such as blocked,
travelled, assistance, damage - these are different. You need to do
them, by doing? And to avoid getting killed when doing them. And
this is where the true heroes are.

Draschel:

Draschel: Please remember to include everything I mentioned. Damage
isn't everything. As far as I see what was said:Infact, not only
just combined, I have mentioned survival and blocked
too.

Draschel: I guess 60% is too high, you got me. 55 seems far more
reasonable. But I am pretty firm on 2000+500 assist. I think
you are getting caught up on a few things. First of all, tech tree
tier 8 mediums largely suck. We can really ONLY use premiums. Sure,
pantera T44 UDES are quite good. In pure sniper schnitzel roles
STA1 and 416 are awesome. Decent tanks more or less indien
panzer? CS53, Cent1. Apart highly specialized 416 and STA1
being Leopards for their tier, the rest pale in comparison to
premium tier 8 meds, so they should not be used. And again, if you
mention Skill4ltu, please consider the two following1) Skill4ltu
replaces alot of damage for assisted. so while he may not be
picking up 2,000 on alot, instead of 500 he is probably getting
much more assisted. Like 800?2) Obsolete grinding, obsolescence
clouding modernization. --What I mean by
this, are old fart scores that are hard to repair, but nevertheless
remain. If panther II or centurion 1 or T44 was something he did
eons ago back in 2012.....Yes it speaks for itself. No premium ammo
in bulk? While he learned the game? No equipment 2.0. No multi use
consumables. No crew books. No hourly boosters. No christmas
ops. Crew skills only including repair/camo/firefighting.
Grinding from stock VS not so. No tier 6 HP boost to acquire more
combined....... As you can see, MANY MANY things conspire to keep
these old, useless scores quite low. But if you were to look at his
more modernized RU account, I am sure the combined results are far
different. To place perspective into this: look at his CS53,
UDES, pantera. Progetto CS55 (basically a med) all these are
the 'newly' released meds, that typically won't be effected by the
laments described above. And they are all massively over 2k. Even
CS53, a tank he despises and what he thinks is awful, he has done
most certainly well in. If skill4ltu, given todays conditions, were
to step into a tier 8 med, expect 2k+ 99% guarantee. Even if
its a s---rock like VTU.

Link on message: #12994943
carbonsu, on Feb 06 2022 - 00:28, said: I think it's the worst tank I ever played. This thing has literally
nothing. 1. The biggest problem is the firepower. It has very good
accuracy? Sorry, when the RNG says no, you can hit nothing. So for
50% of the time of your game in WZ-114, you will just spend 16s to
reload, 3s+ to fully aim, and then either the enemy is already
killed by your team, your shot is bounced or it's a critical hit.
So the so-called big alpha is useless, and actually, it's not
that big at all, since E-75 and 50TP have the same or better alpha
and also better of everything else(armor and gun handling). 2. This
tank actually has no armor at all. The hull armor is just paper.
The turret armor is also very bad, in close-range, everyone can
easily hit and pen your huge cupola and fall back while you are
still aiming. In long-range, your armor can bounce some of the
shot, but your team will lose a heavy in the front line and
everyone will call you a "useless camper" and you can't even
support your team efficiently since your DPM is so low.
When the enemy presses the "2" key, then even your turret
will become paper. And about the huge amount of HP?
Sorry, it's just a large pack of damage for the red team. I
don't know how WG test this tank, I think they just grab a tier 8
heavy and buff some HP and mark it a tier 9. I think WG really
should think more before they put some new tanks on sale, I don't
want OP tanks, I only want some balanced tanks, but this WZ-114 is
not even balanced, it's unplayable. I played nearly 100 games with
this, I got 2042 avg damage and 314 avg assist, it's the same
performance as my 122tm and WZ-114 is a tier 9. The armor-used
efficiency is 0.43, which is even worse than my 122tm(0.5), and the
WZ-114 is a super-heavy tank. To balance this tank, I think WG just
needs to buff some aim time and reload time, that's all.
Everyone who gets this tank is WG's loyal player, no matter
they spend hours and hours to get this for free or just buy it. If
WG keeps selling garbage to their loyal customers, then finally no
one will spend a cent or one second on this game anymore.
Link on message: #12994943

Draschel: I agree, the gun handling despite fully aimed accuracy, is
bad. But we need serious hard balancing on tier 9 premiums to keep
them in check. When T9 premiums become things like Phase, Concept,
Kamp pz, T55A - we are in for some serious
problems. when you say ''paper hull'' do you mean
the side armor? The LFP? The UFP? Or the entire body? Yes, I can
agree the tank side armor is uncharacteristically weak, and limits
its side scraping. But no, sorry. The LFP is about as effective as
Chieftain, around 200. While not ideal, like Badger or 705A, Maus -
it certainly isn't terrible like 215B, 113, Super conquer, Kran.
Its stronger than 60TP too. And the UFP is over 270 vs AP. Thats
better than 113, for a tier 9. I don't think thats paper. The
turret is typically 320mm effective vs HEAT. Stuff like TVP, UDES,
Kran are going to have a tougher time penetrating you unless
cupola. What is the problem here. You are doing better
in it than E75, pretty much similar to your Emil II. The tank isn't
the power level of Phase 1 and 777 v II, is that what you expected?
play more battles in it, you will increase it. Btw, did
you just crew book it? I see you haven't played Chinese
heavies.

8s like progetto, LIS, bourratt, Chimera. Benchmark doesn't
usually get you 3mark, unless its something like VTU? lol? or
59 Patton, M48ARhpz. You need more than that. 2k isn't that
much considering what sensible people are doing in tanks like
274A, RH07, Lansen, progetto, LIS these days. And it isn't uncommon
to see people playing very high DPM STA1 and 416 like TD, netting
ridiculous DPG I am not a medium player myself, per se. I only
have 2 T8 meds 3 marked, and that was before equipment 2.0 and not
even strut your stuff crew skills, or rations. And I was averaging
2,100 on pretty bad tumor cupola meds. Imagine what sensible people
do now, in far better, more versatile machines like 274A and
LIS. Be careful with the word benchmark, this implies
neither good nor bad. Its just what I believe people are capable in
nominally obtaining. A control. If you are lemmingrush or iyouxin?
Sure get your sprees and sessions of 2,500. If you are a
run-of-the-mill green, 1,500. Where does that leave the average
between the two? You guessed it, benchmark. Also, be careful in
using particularly bad examples. When someone sets a benchmark, it
obviously isn't using something like bourratt. But on the flip
side, neither is it something to scrutinize using VTU or AMXCDC. A
capable med, Lansen? RAAC? T1LPC? Perfectly achievable for someone
to net 2k in those.

three tanks focusing you when it should only be one, allowing for
an overmatch somewhere else. Position can force other tanks
away from where they were heading Position can
encourage your team to move from an ineffective location, to a
position of dominance. I have a lot of high 50s and 60% wr
tanks, with a surprisingly low average damage-as you yourself
pointed out. And it is because I use positioning
to win games, which is far more important to me than farming
damage. For instance. Indien-panzer. 484 games,

Link on message: #12994810

Draschel: Typically pinning down tanks, bogging them down, trapping
them in fear or frustration - this usually leads to damage caused
and assistance. Very rarely does it not. So while technically, you
are correct it doesn't HAVE to, typically as games unfold and you
are in position and your enemies can't get out of bad position, you
and your team reap rewards as result. Does it always happen?
Certainly not. Most of the time? Yes.All the things you mentioned
about position are true, but what I mean are, these things USUALLY
result in acquired quantifiable stats because you are doing
it. Very rarely does it not. 2,000 damage and 60% W/R are
the benchmark. 500 assistance. Shoot for those, that is what I do

though, and realize whats going on around you. Maus doesn't work
well in maps like prokhoro, malinovk, murovanka, redshire. If you
run premium, decide which of these you prefer least, and remove
them from your map rotation. You will be getting more maps like
ensk, paris, pilsen, himmelsdor as a result, where Maus armor
works. Just a quick look at Maus, positioned fairly well
VS even VK7201 high pen 350mm avg HEAT. Imagine the brown
