That's what puts me off buying one... I have the T92 LT and that thing is unbalanced enough but at least it's gun and DPM are functional at defending itself. Even 90s seem to die very quickly if they attempt to fight anything.

 

They do because EVEN90's can't defend themselves and are too slow to run away from anything when they get flushed out.

DPM and Effective DPM are different. Even is traditionally a light you will not fire often in compared to the others. I however play my lights almost identical to mediums and manage just fine dealing damage in the even. What really limits it is the gun handling more so than anything else. 

 

Only situation the DPM really lacks is where if you were in another tank you could sit out farming without a care in the world, which rarely happens. 

 

Unload, runaway, unload, run away. Damage racks up nicely, almost did 5k on cliff doing that 

 

I can't count the times that there have been targets available plenty and I was waiting on the stupid reload to finish, then you shoot 3 shots and at least 1 bounces or misses because Reasons ( tm) and *AGAIN* you are waiting for the stupid reload.

The 13 57 does not have this issue and neither do the other French LT's pretty much.

 

That is pretty much the only thing I remember from playing the EVEN90, always waiting for the reload to finish while all the shooting opportunities come and go.

Don’t quite agree with this sentiment - if you are aggressive early and get into a forward spotting position - this thing can win the game for your team by lighting up everything for your team to target.

 

Though admittedly the suicide run wheelies do crimp the Elc even 90 play-style somewhat.

 

If a buff was incoming for this tank - I would prefer an engine buff over a gun buff as it’s slow to accelerate.

 

Yeah I didn't even get to the mobility in my post, it's stopped even by a wooden fence....

People knock this tank it actually is quite good,and the crew feedback is hilarious,'failed to penetrate somebody pinch me,' always makes me smile,Iwas gifted it too which makes it all the more better.

I don't have one but have been witnes to some great end game play by people in their little elc, so small that it can drive alongside remaining heavies and they cant get their gun down to hit it, have been in several games where the elc is literally running rings around whatever remains loading its clip to take them out - looks a niche fun tank

Primo Victoria, first shoot=ammo rack, second shoot=ammo rack too, why they put ammunition in front of the tank, and paper armour. I eaven put wet ammo rack, al the skills to loader, nothing work. Centurion 5/1at least have armour...

This tank is the worst premium tank I ever play, just becouse ammunition in front of tank. In rest is ok. I dont recomand to buy it

While the EVEN90 is doing fine win rate wise across the board, it's one of the least competitive light tanks in the game. Yes it has insane Camo and it's very sneaky but WoT matches are won by either of two condition:

- All enemy tanks are killed.

- Base is capped.

 

The DPM of the EVEN90 is criminally low for a T8 light (It's tier 1 level DPM) and the gun handling is beyond help. On top of that it also does almost 9% less damage per shot then all other T8 90mm guns because of Reasons( tm).

The problem with having to rely on team mates in WoT to do the damage is exactly that, having to rely on team mates, which in most cases can't be trusted to do the right thing at the right time to win matches.

 

So unless you like to play only reactively (and thus having very little direct influence over the battles you play) the EVEN90 is a good tank for you. However, if you like to play aggressively and have a direct impact on the matches you play, the EVEN90 is not the tank for you as it simply can't be trusted to do the job consistently.

Just out of interest, the band did something similar (music vid wise) featuring the Bismarck for WoW's,and there was a behind the scenes how they made the video of that,I was just wondering if there is a behind the scenes one for the 'Primo Victoria tank?

 

 

I can't find anything on YouTube covering this,and I love Behind The scenes stuff.

My friend came to my house with his laptop for a drink and wot play and he gifted me the Primo:D Its a solid tank not so different from Cent RAAC. Generally the GP of these British Centurions suits me very much.
