Quite unreal.

I of course thought "he is stock, can't help it", but I did check his stats... and... apart from being HELLA BAD, he did have all the time in the world to grind out the 90mm top gun.

I mean. I think I am scarred for life!

My WTF moment of the day, have you seen something similar? Like, why would anyone want to keep a tier 5 gun on a tier 8 tank, EVER?!

"But it does more damage! Look, the numbers say so. :3"

Possible explanations:
- He doesn't know that he can unlock new modules and mount them
- He doesn't have credits to buy upgraded gun
- He doesn't understand the difference between AP and HE shells, so he thinks HE inflicts more damage

Did you take a screenshot? I would love to see M26 with the 105mm howitzer gun :)

The recent influx of IS-4 drivers maybe? :P

It's like playing Russian Roulette at the minute. You step out in front of an IS-4, wince as you prepare to have the top of your skull blown off by the M62-T2, then breathe a sigh of relief as the D-25T bounces off you instead, the equivalent of hearing the empty chamber click.

The first one is out at tier 8

The second one too, as you earn enough credits even non premium with the Pershing and after that many games.

The third one is most likely it.

Or yeah, it does look kinda cute and stub-nosed with the derp on it.

Better example is E75 with 8.8 gun, because he "doesn't lose money this way :Smile_trollface-3: "

Good point, man. I have a replay, I hope I can catch a shot from it.

Seriously I went WTF; never ever saw that snubby gun on a Pershing before. It looked... almost cute. Except for the losing part.

I will get back, now it's time for my beauty swim.

He was probably bankrupt and couldn't buy the top gun or resupply its ammo, so was using the derp gun to at least slowly grind the tank+crew.

He mounted it for the 1 battle to test how well HE works since the latest patch.

Funny thing is you need upgraded turret to mount 10,5 but don't for 90mm. (if I remember correctly).
Of course is possible that just work better for him because of play style and/or maybe he uses gold ammo.
Most likely he thinks that 180mm pen is not enough and rather derp away.

In the same day I saw IS-3 with BL-9 casually shooting HE at everything, and IS-7 shooting only HE as well.
