What tanks do you use?

Juppe91's Photo Juppe91 03 Aug 2012

Do you use tanks that have better armor,or mobility and speed? I really like M18 knowing that it can´t bounce except from turret but can do some damage. I don´t use certain tanks because then i won´t be frustrated when someone penetrates "The impenetrable" armor.

I like to play with KV-3, turret can bounce shots from tier IX guns =)
to opposite, AMX13 75/90 and Lorraine are also my favourites, and they have no armour.

I like tanks with good mobility or great accuracy.

M46 FTW, no armour and it still kicks major ass. I like hill fighting tanks like that, M18 included.
I also have a special place for T-34-85 in my heart :D

U used to play my Panther II and E-50 a lot. Not sure yet if I will continue doing that. Depends a bit on how the new MM works out for them. The KV-S, Tiger II and E-75 were/are also fovourites of mine.

I play all the tanks in my sign. Allmost once every day, so a lot of different playstyles. Playing the same tank over and over is a bit boring.

Correction it´s S-35 CA but still. I haven´t played much with lights (except Tetrarch) but now i think im in love with ELC Amx. :wub:  Quick,heavy hitting 90mm,low profile and low repair/ammo cost

I avoid heavies because i finally figured out i suck with them!

So mostly TD's and meds, with a couple of lights at low tiers only.

I'm probably most consistent with TD's; meds i play very aggressively and that sometimes pays off, sometimes not. Pershing is probably my favourite med- its rugged and very accurate firing on the move. The Ferdi is the vehicle i've had the longest and have most battles in- its very reliable and my results in it are more consistent than some other vehilces.

At lower tiers, I particularly enjoy the Marder II (who doesn't?), Renault UE 57 and the M2 MT (howitzer is a lot of fun). In the mid tiers, The SU-85 and Stug III serve me well.

For anyone interested, my current garage (All played equally) is: Pz II, Pz38H735(f), Tetrarch, Renault UE 57, Marder II, M2 MT, T-28, Pz III, Stug III, SU-85,  S-35 CA, M4A3E8,  T25 AT, T-43, Ferdinand, M26 Pershing, Type 59.

As many of mine as I can, but I like the big, slow monsters, Maus, JPZ, KV-4, Ferdie and JT. Really like them for some reason. Fast is good as well, but when your eyesight is starting to go, it's hard to hit blurs :Smile_teethhappy:

M18 - It's a tactical dream and using it I've managed to turn many battles.
T29 until I upped to the T32  - The new one lacks the turret currently but based on the old one this thing is a defensive dream!
T-43 - Sometimes I just want to get stuck in and this tank does the job beautifully
T25/2 - I'm working on the T28 Prot but basically I love TDs. It's like being a sniper, used poorly it's a search for more kills, used well the other side have to change tactics just because you're there!
SU8 - Sometimes I just want to sit and shoot...great for coffee breaks :)
M4A3E8 - This is what I wanted from a light tank but never got!
KV3 - Its like a shotgun in a tank game...great for chuckles. Still tempted by the KV4 despite the opinions just from playing other KVs

I play most of them daily, some less often as I've completed them or temporarily abandoned the line.

I like the variety but my biggest problem is getting bored. So many tanks I unlock, get all the cool stuff and then end up grinding the next tank. Why do they do it this way? Add in more upgrades and less grind. At least that'd give us something to look forward to.

I try to play only tanks that have something specific. Now I play mostly M18 (great gun and speed but no armor), Jumbo (great armor when used wisely and high RoF but low alpha), and T82 (low tier supa-trolltank but insta-death when detected) :Smile_blinky:

Well, my favourites are the ones in my garage at the moment, KV-1, KV-1S and Tiger. Very different playstyles, although they're all heavy tanks. VK3601 was excellent aswell, sold it because I got a little bored and it's ugly as a motherf*.  We shall see if we have new favourites to add, after the project with KV-1S is done, it's time to get King Tiger and IS :)

Might aswell list why

KV-1 - It's truly a Juggernaut. Armor is good and bouncy. Great firepower too (I only use the 122mm U-11). Not very mobile, but who gives a damn, especially in those battles where you're top tier. Few one shot kills in a row and you simply can't stop smiling. Great artillery magnet when bottom tier, they always want to hit you :Smile_teethhappy:

KV-1S - Very mobile with a gun able to literally wreak havoc. What armor? Who needs armor when you can be sneaky, hit & run and watch the chat get flooded with "cheats" or "I hate KV-1S, it's so OP". When teaming up with other good KV-1S drivers, battles might end up being total massacres

Tiger(H) - Just had to get it as my first heavy, no reason needed, it's the tiger. Hated it with passion at first, then learned to play and now I'm a happy man. Great accuracy, big pool of HP (which will be reduced to zero very fast because again, that armor is most likely made of tin foil) and the legendary design. Get to a comfortable sniping position and pick them apart :) as a matter of fact, everyone loves the Tiger so much they always want to shoot it first

If you liked the T49 and M18 hellcat, get yourself the Chaffee, it's like T49+M18+steroides = pure fun! I got it recently because i hated the M5 grind and i done it for a long time, if i only knew how awsome this tank is i would have grinded it a long time ago. :Smile_Default:

ZygZag's Photo ZygZag 03 Aug 2012

:Smile_popcorn1: Currently, I have 42 tanks, most of them I keep for having fun from them. The only exceptions are:
- Priest - under grind
- 105 leFH18b2 - I was gifted this piece of crap, so it stays
- PZV Panther - under grind
- M5 Stuart - hate this piece of sh..., need to grind to Chaffe

Rest of them are pure fun :)

My current play rotation is:

Pz38nA - A great little scout for sneaking into spotting positions where no-one expects you.

Type 59 - My lucky tank. No matter how badly I play my team seem more likely to win when I'm driving it.

Pershing - The opposite of the Type, but I loved the T20 so I'm giving the M26 the chance it deserves.

Once I've got my daily double on the above I might spice things up with the M4 (I'm trying the 105mm out at the moment) or the PzIV. I rebought the T-46 yesterday to grind for the T-50 and was reminded of how much I disliked tier 3.

Haven't driven my heavies in a while. I think the race for the IS-4 before it became a tier 10 soured me on them for the time being.
